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.
