The fuel is supplied in the form of gaseous hydrogen. Hydrogen is a dange­rous substance, which requires great care when handling. Further informati­on on handling hydrogen can be found in the EU RL 91/155 EEC and 93/ 112 EU safety data sheets.
Only use the device in well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of explosive gas. Spaces are not deemed to be at risk of explosion if a concen­tration of hydrogen of less than 4 % can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced ventilation.
Connect suitable hydrogen ventilation lines to the screw connections provi­ded as described in the „Commissioning“ section and run them into the open air to dissipate the excess hydrogen in the event of overpressure in the hydrogen supply.
The unit should be set up so that it is independent of the surrounding air. This means that the reaction and cooling air is supplied from the atmosphe­re and the outgoing air from the reaction chamber and cooling system is dissipated into the atmosphere.
If such a setup is not possible, operating the device to use ambient air is only permitted:
- if protective grilles are fitted to the housing openings for the inlet and outlet cooling air (factory setting)
- if there is sufficient ventilation
- in rooms with a volume of more than 130 m³
Danger from gases, hazardous materials and suffocation
Keep all people, especially children, away from the unit and its accessories. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
- make them aware of all the dangers associated with the back-up battery (risk of a build-up of explosive acids and gasses that are detrimental to the health, possible risk of suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the air, danger from output current, etc.)
- provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that no-one and nothing can come to any harm in your absence.
Protecting yourself and others
CAUTION! Danger of suffocation when the unit is operated in
areas with inadequate ventilation (uses up the oxygen). Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
Using the device in spaces with inadequate ventilation can cause suffocati­on with no visible or otherwise detectable warning. The cause of this is the oxygen consumption of the device, which can lead to a lack of oxygen in the room if it is inadequately ventilated. Setting up the device to take in and expel air into the atmosphere rather than the room helps prevent this. For more information on this, see the chapter entitled „Commissioning“.

General
Functionality and device concept
The energy cell generates electrical energy from hydrogen and oxygen in the surrounding air according to the fuel cell principle. The electrochemical unit in the device consists of several individual cells connected in series. A digital control unit supplies it with hydrogen and air in the appropriate ratio and maintains the operating temperature.
When used correctly, hydrogen is a safe source of energy. The energy cell has a range of safety features that comply with all applicable standards. The explosion protection requirements are covered by precautionary measures integrated into the device to the extent that no further explosion protection measures are re­quired at the installation location.
Fig. 1 Energy cell
Water is the only combustion product of the energy cell, which means that it does not produce any pollutants. Another advantage of the cell is that it is quiet and requires practically no maintenance. In contrast to conventional generators, the energy cell electrochemically converts the chemically-bound energy of the hydrogen directly into electrical power. The hydrogen consumption is therefore very low.
Hydrogen is an ideal energy source that effectively stores solar energy over the long term and makes it available 24/7, 365 days a year. This means, for example, that a mains-independent photovoltaic system no longer has to be designed to take account of peak winter requirements. In this way, the energy cell can be used as the basis for setting up a cost-optimised and reliable stand-alone supply.
In view of the dwindling energy resources and the need for environmentally-friendly energy sourcing, the energy cell sets the bar for energy efficiency and zero emissions.

Warning notices on the device
(continued)
Fig. 3b Safety symbol on the protective grille
WARNING! Inadequate ventilation increases the risk of fire, explosion and suffocation. The device should be set up so that it is independent of the surrounding air. This means that the combustion and cooling air is supplied from the atmosphere and the outgoing air from the reaction chamber and cooling system is dissipated into the atmosphere. If the device cannot be set up so that it is independent of the surrounding air, it may only be operated by taking in air from the room if:
- protective grilles (1) are fitted on the housing openings for the cooling air supply and outlet (factory setting)
- there is sufficient ventilation
- it is used in rooms with a volume of more than 130 m³
- the outgoing air from the reaction chamber is dissipated into the atmos­phere to avoid oxygen depletion in the surrounding air
(1)
NOTE! The illustration shows only one protective grille. Both grilles are re­quired for operation independent of the surrounding air. See the „Commissio­ning“ section for more information on setting up the device independently of the surrounding air.

WARNING! Inadequate ventilation increases the risk of fire, explosion and suffocation. Make sure that the installation location is adequately ventilated, despite the exchange of air with the outside.
The device should ideally be set up, so that it is independent of the surrounding air. This means that the combustion and cooling air is supplied from the atmosphere, and the outgoing air from the reaction chamber and cooling system is dissipated into the atmos­phere.
Information about how to connect a suitable pipe for the outgoing air from the reaction chamber to the appropriate connection (4) can be found in the „Connecting the reaction chamber outgoing pipe“ section.
A duct (1) is required for supplying cooling air / combustion air from outside the installa­tion location. The duct (2) is also required to extract the heated cooling air. The cooling air ducts (1) and (2) should be designed as follows:
- To suit the conditions at the installation location
- With the dimensions shown on the side with the housing openings (3) in the illustra-
tion
- For a volumetric flow of
700 Nm³/h (25000 cfh) - energy cell 25F 1400 Nm³/h (50000 cfh) - energy cell 50F

This means that the combustion and cooling air is supplied from the atmosphere and that the outgoing air from the reaction chamber and cooling system is dissipated into the atmosphere. If the device cannot be set up so that it is independent of the surrounding air, it may only be operated by taking in air from the room if:
- protective grilles are fitted to the housing openings for the inlet and outlet cooling air (factory setting)
- there is sufficient ventilation
- it is used in rooms with a volume of more than 130 m³
- the outgoing air from the reaction chamber is dissipated into the atmos­phere to avoid oxygen depletion in the surrounding air

IMPORTANT! The overview can be customised using a number of measured values that can be selected for and arranged in the overview as required. For more de­tailed information, see the „Set-up menu“ section.
This device is designed to be used in a frost-free environment within a temperature range of + 3 °C to + 40 °C (37.4 °F bis 104 °F).
If the device is started up at a temperature of less than 20 °C (68 °F), the nominal output will not be available until the required process temperature is reached.
If the device is operated at high ambient temperatures, or with inadequate heat dissipa­tion, derating occurs in order to prevent an overload.
The device may only be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes in a temperature range of 35 °C to 40 °C (95 °F bis 104 °F). Technical factors may cause the energy cell to switch at higher temperatures despite the derating feature. Premature degradation of the device can also occur following operation at very high temperatures.

When the end-of-charging voltage set at the factory is reached for the connected battery, the energy cell starts to idle. The energy cell is switched off manually by turning the keylock switch to the - O - position as described under „Manual mode: switching off the energy cell“.
1. In Standby mode, briefly turn the keylock switch to the - Start - position and release The keylock switch returns to the - I - position
The energy cell runs through a test phase. The display reads „Starting“, together with the current status of the system test or the subsequent startup phase.
When the test phase is completed successfully, the display reads „Startup Complete“.
To switch off the energy cell manually
1. Turn the keylock switch to the - O - position
The energy cell is completely switched off when the keylock switch has been turned to the - O - position.
Once the energy cell has been completely switched off, it is in the „safe state“. In this state, there is no power to any of the valves controlled by the energy cell.
The electrical connection to the connected battery is also disconnected.
Manual mode: starting the energy cell
Manual mode
Manual mode: switching off the energy cell
When the connected battery reaches a critical charge level, a higher-level control unit sends a start signal to the energy cell as described in the „Starting the energy cell ­automatic mode“ section. The energy cell then starts automatically. Once the final charging voltage set at the factory for the connected battery has been reached, the higher-level control unit cancels the start signal (X2), causing the device to start to run down.
Automatic mode
1. For the energy cell to remain swit­ched on there must be a voltage of 10
- 30 V applied at pins 1 and 2 of the safety-related input X2 - External standby.
Maximum cross-section of voltage signal cable: 2.5 mm² (0.00388 in.²)
IMPORTANT! The recommended tighte­ning torque for the locking screws in the plug is 0.6 Nm.
IMPORTANT! The energy cell can be started with a voltage signal of 10 - 30 V on pins 4 and 5 of input X4. The required voltage signal must be preset by a higher-level control unit. The keylock switch no longer works in this automatic mode. The energy cell must also not already be on Standby for the start process, which means that it can also be operated out of the safe state.

Automatic mode: switching off the energy cell
The energy cell is completely switched off after an automatic switch-off or when the keylock switch has been turned to the - O - position.
Once the energy cell has been completely switched off, it is in the „safe state“. This means that all valves for the hydrogen supply that can be activated by the energy cell are closed.
The electrical connection to the connected battery is also disconnected.
To allow fully automatic operation, a start can be triggered with an external start signal on pins 4 and 5 of input X4, even in the safe state and even if the keylock switch is in the - O - position.
„1“: In phase 1, the charging current
remains at a constantly high level to ensure that charging is as fast as possible.
„2“: In phase 2, the ability of the batteries
to absorb energy decreases. The charging current is reduced before outgassing starts at the edges of the electrode plates. The charging voltage remains constant. Now even the lower layers of the electrode plates are gradually converted.
