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.
Acknowledging the message with the cursor-up, cursor-down, or the Start/Stop button on the Panda iControl2 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.
13.3.3.3 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".

13.3.3.4 Operation mode
Operation mode signifies the operating mode in which the generator is running and all operating data are within their
normal range. The status field of the default display screen shows "RUNNING".
Fig. 13.3.3.4-1: Default display screen in operation mode
In operation mode, the electrical load is given on the
right hand side of the default display screen and in the
inverter screen as a bar graph. The bar graph merely
provides a guide value for the load of the generator and
gives the values as a percentage.
