Beginning with CCGX v2.07 it became possible to read data from your Fischer Panda generator. The
generator needs to be connected to the VE.Can port of the CCGX, which requires a Fischer Panda SAE

Notice that it features an on/off switch as well as displaying status information, and the main AC
parameters: voltage, current and power.
Engine temperature, RPM and additional information are all available by entering the Engine sub
menu item.
Generator start/stop
In addition to the manual start/stop and monitoring, there is also an automatic start/stop feature. This
has the same comprehensive range of options as the Generator start/stop feature associated with the
CCGX relay. See GX - Generator auto start/stop for the manual.

Maintenance
Whenever performing maintenance on the generator, be sure to stop the generator from the Fischer
Panda control panel. This will disable the Fischer Panda autostart feature, and ensure that the
generator cannot be remotely started - by a CCGX, for example.
When the maintenance is completed, make sure you enable the autostart feature again. You can do
this on the Fischer Panda control panel in the menu generator → autostart → turn on / off.
Troubleshooting
I've set the mode of the genset to 'On' or 'Auto start/stop' but the generator is not
starting/running.
Make sure the Fischer Panda autostart feature is on, this allows the CCGX control the remote on/off of
the genset. You can find this option on the control panel in the menu generator → autostart →
turn on / off.
If you're manually trying to start the genset, a toast message appears with the text AutoStart
functionality is currently disabled, enable it on the genset panel in order
to start the genset from this menu.
If the generator auto start/stop is enabled, it will show error #1 Remote switch control
