Page 15: Solar Array Setup
Accounting for Solar Components If your order included a solar package from SFC Energy, there are several items to account for. Solar Panels, pairs of PV cables, a Panel Mounting System, a Solar Combiner box with Disconnect, Breakers, a GFCI breaker, and a Lightening Arrestor are all items we often provide.

Page 17: Cluster Functionality
EFOY Pro Hybrid Solution User Manual Dual EFOY Systems Activating the Cluster Functionality Our 250W EFOY ProCabinet 4120SX solution contains (2) EFOY Fuel Cells. In this configuration we want each EFOY to run at the same time to ensure each EFOY uses the same amount of fuel and accumulates the same number of runtime hours. This ensures optimum system perfor- mance and allows you to refuel both EFOYs at the same time, minimizing trips to site.
Page 18 EFOY Pro Hybrid Solution User Manual Dual EFOY Systems Activating the Cluster Functionality Ensure the (2) EFOY Fuel Cells are connected via their onboard ethernet ports and the breaker for the network switch is turned on. Then, on the Operating Panel, select EFOY Fuel Cell, then Cluster. Choose which EFOY will be the ‘Controller’...
Page 19 EFOY Pro Hybrid Solution User Manual Dual EFOY Systems Activating the Cluster Functionality The system will assign an IP address to the Controller. If you are using your ProCabinet on a network with other pieces of equipment, it may be necessary to input a customer IP address for the EFOYs. Take note of the IP address and Cluster PIN of the Controller, as the other EFOY will need this to find it on the network.
Page 20 EFOY Pro Hybrid Solution User Manual Dual EFOY Systems Activating the Cluster Functionality It will prompt you to enter the IP address of the Controller EFOY, and then the Cluster PIN so it can establish a connection. Note: The connection may be blocked if the DHCP Client is currently enabled. To rectify this, you can return to the ‘EFOY Fuel Cell’ menu and go into the ‘Ethernet Configuration’...
Page 21 It is important that each EFOY is set up with the same charging parameters. Please refer back to Step 19a of the initial set-up instruc- tions, and additionally, review the information in the Battery Menu. Do not change any settings without first consulting an SFC Energy Service Team representative.
Page 22 EFOY Pro Hybrid Solution User Manual Dual EFOY Systems Activating the Cluster Functionality Each EFOY must have Modbus TCP Enabled. To verify this, you can go to the ‘EFOY Fuel Cell’ menu and then into the ‘Ethernet Configuration’ menu. There you will see a toggle switch called Modbus TCP. Ensure it is turned on, and is green. Note: The CC2 will put every EFOY that is in the cluster in the Automatic operation mode using the Modbus protocol.
