Fig. 3.3.3.2-1: Default display screen during pre-heatingThe pre-heating is always implemented for a duration of
10 seconds, regardless of the cylinder head temperature.
In temperatures below 0°C, the pre-heating time is always 40
seconds.
Fig. 3.3.3.2-2: Default display screen during start-up After pre-heating, the starter is initiated, accompanied by
the text output "Starting" in the status field of the default
display screen.
Note!The controller will only perform one starting attempt. If
the generator could not be started, the text output
"Starting fails" informs you of the failure of the generator
starting attempt.
Fig. 3.3.3.2-3: Error message »Starting fails«Acknowledging the message with the start/stop button on the
Panda iControl3 panel will return the system to stand-by
mode.
Attention!If there is difficulty in starting - close the seacock (Panda
Marine Generators only)
If the generator engine does not start immediately and further start attempts are necessary, then the seacock MUST
be closed (i.e. for ventilating the fuel lines ect.) The cooling water impeller pump turns automatically and draws coo-
ling water as long as the motor is turning. If the diesel motor is running, the cooling water is blown out by the exhaust
system gases. The cooling water cannot be pressed through the exhaust as long as the diesel motor does not run at
sufficient speed. This leads to severe motor damage.
Open the sea valve as soon as the generator is started.
3.3.3.3 Override mode
The override mode follows directly after the successful start-up of the generator. In this mode, no fault analysis is
performed. The duration of the override mode is 10 seconds. The status indicator on the display reads "Override".
