Commissioning the EFOY fuel cell

Requirement:
The EFOY fuel cell and fuel cartridge are installed. Should this not be the case, refer to
the steps for mounting, electrical connection and use of the EFOY fuel cell and fuel
cartridge in the revision 10/2020 of the mounting instructions which you can download
from www.efoy.com.

4.1 Initial commissioning

During the initial commissioning, the following required and recommended settings
must be made:
Battery type (required)

Battery capacity (required)

Fuel cartridge configuration (recommended)

Deactivation of transportation protection (Required in order to start operation. If

only settings are to be made, transportation protection can remain active.)
4.1.1 Configuring a battery
When a new battery is connected, it must be configured. Select the battery type (lead or
lithium iron phosphate) and the voltage (12 V or 24 V).
CAUTION
Only lithium batteries of type "LiFePO4" with a rated voltage of 12.8 V or 25.6 V
and a built-in battery management system (BMS) can be recharged.

Observe the charging information from the battery manufacturer.
4.1.2 Configuring the fuel cartridge
For an accurate indication of the fuel cartridge fill level, the connected fuel cartridge
type must be selected.
The fill level of the fuel cartridge can be adjusted manually if a partially filled fuel
cartridge is connected.
4.1.3 Deactivating transportation protection
The EFOY fuel cell is delivered with transportation protection activated.
This condition prevents frost damage during transportation, among other things.
