5.10 Generator DC system installation
The generator can be attached to the existing starting battery of the main engine or be supplied with its own battery.
The Panda 4000s is not equipped with its own 12V battery loading installation. Thus that the starting battery is
charged during the generator operation, at the exit of the generator a battery charger is ensured is normally
attached. This battery charger should be selected in such a way that the rated output approx. 10% of battery capac-
ity correspond. (120Ah starting battery requires a battery charger with approx. 10 - 12A charging current).
In the Panda accessories program special battery chargers are available, which are designed to load in connection
with the generator particularly effectively. This is however necessary only if the electrical system is to be loaded
hereby. For loading the generator and/or starting battery a simple, low-priced battery charger is sufficient.
5.10.1 Connection of the 12V starter battery
Attention!:
Use the prepared protective tube for the battery (+) cable.
ATTENTION!
Make sure that the voltage of the starter battery fits to the start
system voltage
f.e. 12 V starter battery for a 12 V start system
f.e. 24 V starter battery for a 24 V start system (2x12 V batteries in a row)
NOTE:
To avoid large voltage drops the battery should be installed as
near as possible to the generator. The positive terminal of the
battery is attached at the red cable, the negative pole at the
blue cable.
A t t e n t i o n ! : C o n s i d e r c o r r e c t c o n n e c t i o n
sequence
It must be guaranteed that first the cables are attached at the generator and
then at the battery.
Attention!: Right connection of the battery.
Battery connection
Wrong connection of the battery bank can cause a short-circuit and fire.
Install an appropriate fuse and a battery circuit breaker in the plus pole cable of the battery, but with a distance to the
battery of up to 300 mm (12 inch) at maximum.
