Installation Instructions<br />
Disconnect all load during the work at the generator to avoid<br />
damages at the load.<br />
5.2 Place of installation<br />
5.2.1 Preliminary remark<br />
Attention!: Disconnect all load.<br />
• There must be sufficient fresh air supply for the combustion air.<br />
• It has to be ensured that the cooling air supply from underneath or sidewise is sufficient.<br />
• During operation the sea cock has to be opened.<br />
• The generator may only be opened by a technical trained person.<br />
• The generator may only be operated by a trained person.<br />
5.2.2 Preparing the base - placement<br />
Since Panda generators have extremely compact dimensions, they can be installed in tight locations. Attempts are<br />
sometimes made to install them in almost inaccessible places. Please consider that even almost maintenance-free<br />
machinery must still remain accessible at least at the front (drive belt, water pump) and the service-side (actuator,<br />
dipstick). Please also note that in spite of the automatic oil-pressure sensor it is still essential that the oil level has to<br />
be checked regularly.<br />
The generator should not be placed in the proximity of light walls or floors, which can have resonance vibrations<br />
because of airborne sounds. If this should be unavoidable, then it is recommended that this surface is lined with 1<br />
mm lead foil, which will change the mass and the vibration behaviour.<br />
You should avoid fixing the generator on a slippery surface with little mass (i.e. plywood). This acts as an amplifier of<br />
airborne sounds in the most unreasonable case. An improvement can be achieved by reinforcing these surfaces<br />
with ribs. In addition, the breakthroughs, which interrupt these surfaces, should be sawed off. The lining of the surrounding<br />
walls with a heavy layer (i.e lead) and foam additionally improve the conditions.<br />
As the generator sucks in its combustion air via several drill holes in the capsule base, the capsule base must be<br />
installed with sufficient space to the basement so that the air supply is guaranteed (at least 12mm/½“)<br />
The generator sucks its air from the surrounding engine room. Therefore it must be ensured that sufficient ventilation<br />
openings are present, so that the generator cannot overheat.<br />
High temperature of the intake air declines the power of the generator and increases the coolant temperature. Air<br />
temperatures of more than 40 ° C reduce the power by 2 % per temperature rise of 5 ° C. In order to keep these<br />
effects as small as possible, the temperature in the engine room should not be higher than 15 ° C in relation to the<br />
outside temperature.<br />
