Off (EFOY status) Off operating mode:
The switch-on voltage (switch-on threshold) is not taken into account. To
protect the fuel cell and battery, antifreeze and battery protection are
activated if necessary.
Shutdown procedure
(EFOY state) Off operating mode:
The EFOY fuel cell has been switched to the Off operating mode.
Charging is stopped. The switch-off duration depends on the switch-off
current and absorption time.
Sleep (operating mode) The EFOY fuel cell is switched off. The switch-on voltage is not taken into
account. To protect the fuel cell and battery, antifreeze and battery
protection are activated if necessary.
If you switch the EFOY fuel cell to Sleep mode before the minimum
charging duration has been reached (see
S
ECTION
2.3)
, it continues
running for the corresponding amount of time until the charging cycle is
complete. Leave the fuel cartridge and battery connected during the
shutdown procedure.
Standby
(EFOY state) Automatic operating mode:
The EFOY fuel cell is in Standby mode and monitors the battery voltage
or charge level. The battery is sufficiently charged.
Start phase
(EFOY state) Automatic and Off operating modes:
The EFOY fuel cell is in a start-up phase in which the device is warming
up when charging begins. Once the start-up phase is complete, the
EFOY fuel cell reaches its full output power level.
Switch-off current Automatic operating mode:
When the switch-off voltage is reached, the charging current is reduced.
When the charging current drops below the set switch-off current, the
EFOY fuel cell switches off. The switch-off duration depends on the
absorption time, in addition to the switch-off current.
Switch-off threshold Automatic operating mode:
Only pertains to smart batteries (see “Switch-off voltage” for standard
batteries).
The EFOY fuel cell charges the battery until the charge level reaches the
maximum charge level and then switches off (see
S
ECTION
2.3
).
Switch-off voltage Automatic operating mode:
The EFOY fuel cell charges the battery until the battery voltage reaches
the switch-off voltage and then switches off (see
S
ECTION
2.3
). The
switch-off duration depends on the switch-off current and absorption
time.
Switch-on delay Automatic operating mode:
If the battery voltage drops below the switch-on voltage for the duration
of the switch-on delay, the EFOY fuel cells start automatically.
Switch-on threshold Automatic operating mode:
Only pertains to smart batteries (see “Switch-on voltage” for standard
batteries).
