EFOY 80 - Operation

Commissioning the EFOY fuel cell

If only settings are to be made to the device, transportation protection can remain
activated.
To use the EFOY fuel cell, transportation protection must be deactivated using the EFOY
app or the operating panel.
4.2 Operation
The EFOY fuel cell indicates its status by way of the status LED on the device (see
SECTION 2.2, ITEM 11). A detailed overview of the LED color codes can be found in SECTION
8.
The EFOY fuel cell can be operated in two different operating modes:
• Automatic (see S
ECTION 4.2.1).
• Sleep (see SECTION 4.2.2).
For optimum operation of the EFOY fuel cell, we recommend always using the
Automatic
operating mode.
The following functions can be carried out in both operating modes:
• Begin charging (see S
ECTION 4.2.3).
• Restart (see SECTION 4.2.4).
• Reset to the factory defaults (see SECTION 4.2.6).
For information on changing the operating mode using the button (see SECTION 2.2,
NUMBER 6), refer to the overview in SECTION 3.3.
4.2.1 Automatic operating mode
Following the initial configuration and deactivation of transportation protection, the
device is in Automatic mode. The LED flashes green.
The EFOY fuel cell monitors the battery voltage by itself.
If the battery voltage drops below the switch-on voltage or switch-on threshold (see
S
ECTION 2.3), the EFOY fuel cell switches on automatically.
The battery is charged until the switch-off voltage or switch-off threshold is reached
(see S
ECTION 2.3). The EFOY fuel cell then switches off. The switch-off duration depends
on the switch-off current and absorption time (see SECTION 9).
In normal operation, the EFOY fuel cell interrupts current generation for
approx. 30 seconds several times per hour. A charging current of 0.0 A is
displayed here.
