To carry out a reconditioning cycle, after the components have been connected 
to the FCPM, as described in Section 4 above, use the following process. It should 
be noted that during reconditioning the FCPM will run loudly and periodically go 
silent for a few seconds. In addition the PLU status LED will occasionally flash orange 
briefly. This is expected and normal behaviour.

 · Start up the FCPM in the normal way (long press, then a short press) 

(See FCPM manual for full startup procedure)

 · Check that the PLU LED is flashing green (the FCPM LED will be flashing green)
 · Verify that the FCPM is running 
 · Allow the FCPM and PLU to operate for 20 minutes (during Reconditioning the 

FCPM will run and the fan will be on high)

 · Press PLU Stop button to switch off the PLU
 · Hold the FCPM button to switch off the FCPM
 · Disconnect PLU and RCD from the FCPM

Mechanical setup for reconditioning

The PLU and FCPM should be located on a stable surface for reconditioning. The 
Hydrogen source should be secured in accordance with local regulations. There should 
be adequate ventilation for operation of the FCPM and cooling air flow of the PLU.

Connection of the Portable Load Unit

The FCPM should be connected from the power out port to the power connection port 
on the PLU, using a standard XT60 power cable.

Connection of the Reconditioning Dongle

The Reconditioning Dongle should be connected to the Reconditioning port

on the FCPM.

The FCPM will need the hybrid battery and fuel connections as for normal operation. 
See FCPM manual.
