D.7 Generator 12 V DC System Installation
The Panda generators from 8.000 NE upwards have their own dynamo to charge a 12 V starter
battery.
It is recommended to install an additional starter battery for the generator.
The generator is then independent from the remaining battery set. This enables you to start the
genset at any time with its own starter battery even if the other batteries are discharged. A further
advantage of a separate starter battery is that it isolates the generator's electric system from the
rest of the boat's DC system, i.e. minus pole (-) is not connected electrically to Earth/Ground.
The generator is then Earth/Ground free.
D.7.1 Connection of the 12 V Starter Battery
The positive (+) battery cable is connec-
ted directly to the solenoid switch of the
starter.
Fig. D.7.1-1: Positive Battery Cable
The negative (-) battery cable is connec-
ted to the engine foot.
Note! The battery negative pole may not
be connected with the boat ground or with
the protective grounding of the 120 V
installation!
