by sand particles in the raw water etc.) In this case, immediately exchange the pump, because the dripping water
will be sprayed by the belt pulley into the sound insulated casing and can quickly cause corrosion.
6. Check all electrical lead terminal contacts are firm.
This is especially the case with the temperature switch contacts, which automatically switch off the generator in
case of faults. There is only safety if these systems are regularly checked, and these systems will protect the
generator, when there is a fault.
7. Check the motor and generator mounting screws are tight.
The mounting screws must be checked regularly to ensure the generator is safe. A visual check of these screws
must be made, when the oil level is checked.
8. Switch the land electricity/generator switch to zero before starting or switch off all the load.
For the automatic option make shure that the load is connected to the PMGi only, when the nominal output of
9. Check the automatic controls functions and oil pressure.
Removing a cable end from the monitoring switch carries out this control test. The generator should then automa-
tically switch off. Please adhere to the inspection timetable (see Checklist in the appendix).
Attention!
Make sure that the PMGi is connected with the generator. Never
connect or disconnect the PMGi when the generator is running.
This will destroy the PMGi. (it may burn or explode)
9.5.2 General
Very low Temperatures
The generator is disigned to start at temperatures up to -20°C. Please make sure, that the fuel is si utable for your
temperature range.
The electronic of the iControl changes the pre-glow time at the generator start according to the actual generator tem-
perature. The normal time at a cold engine is 8 sec. The pre-glow times rises at temperatures below 8°C and drops
(down to 0 sec.) at temperatures over 40°C.
Tips regarding Starter Battery
Fischer Panda recommends the use of a normal starter battery. If a genset is required for extreme winter conditions,
then the starter battery capacity should be doubled. It is recommended to charge the starter battery regularly by a
suitable battery-charging device (i.e., at least every 2 months). A correctly charged starter battery is necessary espe-
cially for low temperatures.
Engine Oil at winter conditions.
Make sure using a siutable engine oil at winter conditions.
Do not use start help sprays or similar.
9.5.3 Long time run of the generator
Make sure the PMGi is not overloaded. The PMGi will switch off in this case.
We recommend to calculate the normal load should be at 80% of the nominal load of the generator and PMGi. Nor-
mel load is in this case the load you need for a very long period. Nearly 100% of the nominal power of the generator
and PMGi can be used for 2-3 hours without any problems.
