Remote On / Off
The EFOY Pro fuel cell can be switched on or off externally using one of
two methods. One option is by using a switching contact on Pin 7 at the
Data Interface plug, e.g. a solar charger. The second option is a software
signal. See chapter 3.2 Connections on page 14 for the pinning.
The "External control" operating mode must be enabled (see chapter 5.5.4
External control, page 63).

Remote on/off signal via Pin 7 (Data interface)
An open padlock is displayed at the bottom right of
the display.
If the EFOY Pro receives an external positive volt-
age signal on Pin 7, "RC" (Remote Control) is dis-
played at the bottom right of the display. The EFOY
Pro will starting charging, regardless of the switch-
on voltage and will charge the batteries until the
set switch-off parameters are reached.
INFO:
If you have not enabled external control, a
closed padlock is displayed at the bottom
right of the display when an external signal
is being received.
If the external signal on Pin 7 is always active, the
EFOY Pro will start when the battery voltage is be-
low 13.2 V / 26.4 V (Lead batteries) or 14.0 V / 28.0 V
(LiFePO4) and stop when the switch-off voltage is
reached. The charging will start again at 13.2 V /
26.4 V (Lead batteries) or 14.0 V / 28.0 V (LiFePO4).
The EFOY Pro will not stop charging in this opera-
tion until removing the external signal on Pin 7.
If the external signal is removed (off), the EFOY Pro
will charge the battery until the set switch-off pa-
rameters are reached and switch back in automatic
mode.
