3.3.3.6 Stop mode
By activating the start/stop button in operation mode, i.e., while the generator is running, you will stop the generator.
After stopping the generator, the system will return to stand-by mode. The display status field reads „Stopping“.
With marine generators and a cylinder head temperature greater than 70 °C (for example after a long time running
with high load) the iControl3 starts a stopping delay timer. The Display shows „Cooldown“ in the status field.
This does not exist with vehicle generators, since the fan cannot work during cooldown.
During this time the iControl3 system will shut of the PMGi and run the engine at idle speed. During the delay time
an automatic start request will be ignored.
After the delay time, the generator will be stopped automatically.
You can interrupt the delay time by pressing the start/stop button. (Not recommend by Fischer Panda. The Engine
may overheat)
Attention!Never use an emergency stop switch for a regular stop
of the generator.
The engine may overheat and can be damaged/destroyed
Note! Manual start in autostart modeIf the generator is manually started up and stopped while in
automatic start-up mode, it will switch to stand-by mode for
safety reasons.
If necessary, the autostart mode must be reactivated.
3.3.3.7 Autostart mode
The Panda iControl3 panel is equipped with an autostart function. A jumper between pin 6 (AS) and pin 7 (AS) of the
Phoenix jack of the control panel starts up the generator with a delay of 5 seconds when the autostart function is
active. Removing the jumper will stop the generator - also with a delay of 5 seconds.
The autostart function must be activated in the set-up menu. To activate the autostart function, see “Activating/
deactivating the autostart function (»Autostart«)” on page 21.
Fig. 3.3.3.7-1: Default display screen in autostart modeThe display status field reading "Autostart" indicates
that the autostart function is active, or, if it reads
"Standby", this means that the autostart function was
deactivated.
Warning! Automatic start-upThe autostart function will remain active even after the
controller is switched off and on again with the on/off
button. If the autostart function is no longer required, the
function must be deactivated, see “Activating/
deactivating the autostart function (»Autostart«)” on
page 21.
Note! Manual start in autostart modeIf the generator is manually started up and stopped while
in automatic start-up mode, it will switch to stand-by
mode for safety reasons.
If necessary, the autostart mode must be reactivated.
