Safety instructions for the Panda iControl3

2. Safety instructions for the Panda iControl3
2.1 Personnel
The settings described here can be performed by the operator unless highlighted differently.
The installation should be implemented by specially trained technical personnel or by authorised workshops (Fischer
Panda Service Points), only.
2.2 Safety instructions
Note!Ensure compliance with the safety instructions in the
Fischer Panda genset manual.
If these instructions are not on hand, they can be requested
from Fischer Panda GmbH, 33104 Paderborn, Germany.
Warning! Automatic start-upAn external signal may trigger an automatic start-up.
Warning!The generator must not be operated with the cover
removed.
If the generator is being installed without a sound insulation
capsule, it must be ensured that all rotating parts (belt pulley,
belts etc.) are covered and protected so that there is no
danger to life and body!
If a sound insulation capsule will be produced at the place of
installation, then well-placed signs must show that the
generator can only be switched on with the capsule closed.
All service, maintenance, or repair work may only be carried
out when the unit is not running.
Warning! Electric voltageElectric voltage - DANGER TO LIFE!
Electric voltages of more than 60V are potentially lethal in
any situation. The rules of the respective regional authority
must be adhered to for installation and maintenance.
For safety reasons, only an electrician may carry out the
installation of the electrical connections of the generator.
Warning!Disconnect battery before working on the generator
The battery must always be disconnected (first the negative
terminal, then the positive terminal) if work on the generator
or electrical system is to be carried out, so that the generator
cannot be unintentionally started.
This applies in particular to systems with an automatic start-
up function. The automatic start-up function shall be
deactivated before starting work.

The flooding valve must be closed. (For PMS version only.)
Note!Also observe the safety instructions for the other
components of your system.

3. General operation
3.1 The Panda iControl3 panel
The "Panda iControl3 panel" control panel is the control and display unit for the Panda iControl3 control system and
represents the interface between the user and the Panda iControl3 controller. The integrated display serves to
present the most important data of the system as well as warnings and error messages.
The control panel is equipped with four buttons for operating the Panda iControl3 controller:
Fig. 3.1-1: Panda iControl3 panel
01 03
02 04
1. on/off button: Switching the Panda iControl3 controller on and off.
2. start/stop button: Starting and stopping the generator, confirming values in selection menus (Enter key).
3. Cursor-up button: Switching between display screens (up), counting values up in selection menus.
4. Cursor-down button: Switching between display screens (down), counting values down in selection menus.

3.2 Starting preparation / Checks (daily)
3.2.1 Marine version
1. Oil level control (ideal level: 2/3 MAX).
The level should be about 2/3 of the maximum level of a cold engine.
Further, if installed, the oil level of the oil-cooled bearing must be controlled before each start - see sediment bowl
at generator front cover!.
2. State of cooling water.
The external expansion tank should be filled up to 1/3 of the maximum in a cold state. It is very important that a
large expansion area remains above the cooling water level.
3. Check if sea cock for cooling water intake is open.
For safety reasons, the sea cock must be closed after the generator has been switched off. It should be re-
opened before starting the generator.
4. Check raw water filter.
The raw water filter must be regularly checked and cleaned. The impeller fatigue increases, if residual affects the
raw water intake.
5. Visual inspection.
Control fixing bolts, check hose connectors for leakages, control electrical connections.
6. Switch off the load.
The generator should only be started without load.
7. Open fuel valve, if installed.
8. Close battery main switch (on).
3.2.2 Vehicle version
1. Oil level control (ideal level: 2/3 MAX).
The level should be about 2/3 of the maximum level of a cold engine.
Further, if installed, the oil level of the oil-cooled bearing must be controlled before each start - see sediment bowl
at generator front cover!.
2. State of cooling water.
The external expansion tank should be filled up to 1/3 of the maximum in a cold state. It is very important that a
large expansion area remains above the cooling water level.
3. Visual inspection.
Control fixing bolts, check hose connectors for leakages, control electrical connections.
4. Switch off the load.
The generator should only be started without load.
5. Open fuel valve, if installed.
Close battery main switch (on).

3.3 Operation
3.3.1 Switching the controller on and off
The Panda iControl3 controller is switched on and off by briefly pressing the on/off button on the Panda iControl3
panel.
Fig. 3.3.1-1: .Panda iControl3 boot-up and start screenAfter boot-up, on the start screen information about the
hardware and software release of panel and controller
are displayed.

Note!Example for the control board:
Hardware version: C:3 -> iControl3 control board
Software version: 4 -> Release 4 of the iControl3 software,
compatible with iControl3 panel
Generator type: 7 -> Panda 15000i 230 V / 50 Hz PMS
3.3.2 Default display screen
Five seconds after the controller is switched on, the display will change to the default display screen. On the default
display screen, you will find information on the battery voltage, operating hours of the generator, temperatures of
cylinder head, exhaust manifold, and winding, RPM, and the oil pressure status. Also, a bar graph display at the right
hand edge of the display shows the utilisation of the generator in percent.
Data output on the default display screen:
• Battery voltage (supply voltage)
• Status field for operating modes (stand-by, pre-heat, starting, override, running, autostart, stopping)
• Operating hours of the generator
• Oil pressure status
• Cylinder head temperature
• Temperature of exhaust manifold
• Winding temperature
• Speed/RPM
• Utilisation in percent
