Application
The »iControl4 Control Panel« provides the user interface for generators equipped with the iControl4 control system. It allows the operator to control the generator, monitor system functions, and view operating data.
Product Description
- Fischer Panda part number: 0039433
- Automatic start contact to start and stop the generator in addition to the start / stop button.
- Operating temperature range from -20 °C to +50 °C.
- Display resolution: 128 x 64 pixels.
- Up to four panels can be operated in an iControl4 control system.
- Terminating resistors are swichable with a double DIP switch.

Multiple Panels
With the »iControl4 Control Panel« it is possible to operate up to four panels in an iControl4 control system. In this case the last panel in the bus must always be terminated. The terminating resistor of the other panels must be switched off.
For switching the terminating resistor there is a double DIP switch on the backside of the »iControl4 Control Panel« (see »Function of the double DIP Switch«).
 Note: The automatic start function can be activated/deactivated on each panel in the bus. The automatic start contact may only be connected to the panel with address 1. |
