Absorption time Automatic operating mode:
If the switch-off voltage has been reached, but the switch-off current is
not reached within the absorption time, the EFOY fuel cell switches off
when the absorption time is reached.
Antifreeze
(EFOY state) The EFOY fuel cell is in operation in order to warm itself. The battery is
charged if necessary. Antifreeze switches on automatically as soon as
the temperature drops below +3 °C. For a five-month winter period in
Central Europe, the EFOY fuel cell requires about 10 liters of methanol
for antifreeze.
Automatic (operating
mode) The EFOY fuel cell switches on automatically when the battery voltage
falls below the switch-on voltage (or switch-on threshold). The
EFOY fuel cell charges the battery until the switch-off voltage (or switch-
off threshold) is reached and then switches off.
Battery protection
(EFOY status) Battery protection is activated automatically if the battery voltage drops
below the voltage for battery protection, even if the EFOY fuel cell is in
Sleep mode (see
S
ECTION
2.3 ).
Charge now Automatic and Off operating modes:
If the battery voltage is below the max. “charge now” voltage, the
EFOY fuel cell can be switched on regardless of the operating mode. The
EFOY fuel cell charges the battery until the switch-off voltage is reached.
The fuel cell is then in the Automatic operating mode.
Charging
(EFOY state) The EFOY fuel cell charges the battery.
EFOY state The EFOY state is the respective phase in which the EFOY fuel cell is
currently found. The operating phases are: charging, standby, off,
shutdown procedure, battery protection, antifreeze, transportation
protection, malfunction and information.
Malfunction
(EFOY state) There is a malfunction, and the corresponding information is displayed.
Max. charging duration If the switch-off voltage is not reached within the max. charging duration,
the EFOY fuel cell switches off.
Min. charging duration The EFOY fuel cell calculates the average duration of a charging cycle. If
the value drops below the set value, this indicates a defective battery or a
battery which is too old or too small. It could also indicate incorrectly set
battery parameters. Persistently short charging cycles can cause
damage to the EFOY fuel cell or battery.
Mode The operating mode determines the behavior of the EFOY fuel cell. There
are two operating modes: Automatic and Sleep. The recommended
operating mode is Automatic.
