Engine Oil at winter conditions.
Make sure using a siutable engine oil at winter conditions.
Do not use start help sprays or similar.
A.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.
Normel 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.
A.5.4 Start of the generator
1. Open the fuel valve (if necessary)
2. Close the battery switch (if necessary)
3. Push "on/off" button (turn iControl on).
Panel comes up with „Welcome“ screen
4. Push the „start/stop“ button to switch from „Welcome“ to the „Main“ screen
Screen switch to „Main“ screen
5. Push „start/stop“ button
The Engine pre-glow and start. It is not allowed to run the starter motor for more than 10 sec. If the generator does not start within this
time, the start is blocked for 20 sec.
Please check if the fuel is present at the generator, before you try to start the generator again. (and if the fuel is siutable for the tempe-
rature range)
6. Switch on the load when the nominal output of 230V / 50Hz is reached at the PMGi. See “Automatic start” on
page 87.
ATTENTION: If there is difficulty in starting - close the seacock ( Panda Marine Genera-
tors 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 etc.) The cooling water impeller
pump turns automatically and draws cooling 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 seavalve as soon as the generator is started.
