This is for your personal safety!
These Operating Instructions are concerned only with the vehicle's energy delivery system and describe the technical and safety-relevant interfaces on the vehicle relating to energy delivery.
The overall safety of the system (HyLOG Fleet device, vehicle and its operation in a work­ing area) is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer / system integrator. The vehicle manufacturer / system integrator is the manufacturer of the logistics vehicle that installs the energy cell in the vehicle and is responsible for the conformity of the system as a whole. The overall system safety encompasses:
- Weight compensation (driving stability, traction, etc.)
- Information provided to the driver and surrounding area concerning safety-relevant operating states of the energy cell (warning of hydrogen leak, etc.)
- Analysis of overall system safety and supply of general system user documentation (energy cell and vehicle) adapted for use of the vehicle with the HyLOG Fleet energy cell.
Proper use
The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose.
Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Proper use includes:
- ensuring that the device is undamaged and in perfect condition
- carefully reading and obeying all the instructions in these operating instructions, espe­cially the safety rules and all safety and danger notices
- installing the device in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's operating instruc­tions
- carrying out all the specified inspection and maintenance work *
- observing all instructions of the vehicle manufacturer and the refuelling system man­ufacturer
- obeying other relevant national safety rules
Inspection and maintenance work form part of the responsibility of the operator. However, the operator may arrange for the manufacturer of the vehicle or the fuel cell system to per­form inspection and maintenance work (e.g. as part of a maintenance agreement).
The device must only be operated in rooms with a volume of more than 10 m³ (353.15 ft³) and with an air circulation rate of not less than 0.6/h. With a room volume of 10 m³ (353.15 ft³), an air circulation rate of 0.6/h means that 6 m³ (211.89 ft³) of air are renewed per hour.
The device may not be used if any part has been submerged in or flooded with water. Notify the manufacturer or its representative immediately so that the device can be checked and any affected parts replaced.
The device must not be used in conditions of frost or (condensing) humidity. Operating the device in frosty or humid conditions can result in damage. Only use the device in rooms that are free from frost and condensing air. Detailed information can be found in the "Tech­nical data" chapter.

The surrounding air must be clean and free from
- possible ignition sources
- smoke
- naked flames and light
- petrol and other flammable materials in the form of liquids, vapours or electrically con­ductive dusts, e.g. metallic powder
- corrosive gases or substances
EN
Safe use
Can be used at altitudes of up to 1600 m (5249 ft.)
The operating instructions are primarily intended for system integrators who incorporate the device as a component into an overall vehicle. The contents are therefore intended for qualified personnel.
The user must have received verifiable training from a qualified technician authorised by the manufacturer.
The user must also observe all warning notices of the vehicle supplier and for the hydrogen refuelling system.
An electric shock can be fatal. Do not perform any actions other than those described in this documentation. All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and ad­equately dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimen­sioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised personnel.
Leaks in the hydrogen supply, in combination with an ignition source, pose a risk of fire and explosion. The hydrogen refuelling system must therefore be set up in compliance with the applicable standards and guidelines and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
Maintenance and repair work on the device may only be carried out by trained personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and manufactured to suit their application, or that they satisfy safety requirements. Use only original replacement parts (also applies to standard parts).
9
Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc. to the device without the manufactur­er's consent.
Components that are not in perfect condition must be replaced immediately.
Protecting your­self and others
Danger from gas­es, hazardous materials and suf­focation
Keep unauthorised persons, especially children, away from the device and the vehicle con­taining the device during operation. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
- make them aware of all dangers associated with use of the device (possible risk of suf­focation due to lack of oxygen in the air, danger from output current, etc.)
- adhere to the permitted operating conditions as specified in the "Operating conditions" section of the "Operation" chapter
Before leaving the vehicle in which the device is installed, make sure that no injury or dam­age can occur in your absence.
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 safety data sheet of the hydrogen supplier.
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% by volume can be adequately guaranteed by the use of natural or forced ventilation.
Keep possible ignition sources, fires and naked flames away from the device, also inflam­mable materials, liquids and gases.
Using the device in spaces with inadequate ventilation can cause suffocation with no visi­ble or otherwise detectable warning. This is because of the oxygen consumption of the de­vice, which can lead to a lack of oxygen in the room if it is inadequately ventilated. The device must only be operated in rooms with a volume of not less than 10 m³ and with an air circulation rate of not less than 0.6/h. Example: With a room volume of 10 m³, an air circulation rate of 0.6/h means that 6 m³ of air are renewed per hour. Other spatial condi­tions require an exact calculation of the air circulation rate in consultation with the device manufacturer.
Safety measures in normal opera­tion

Specific hazards
General informa­tion regarding the handling of bat­teries
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts, for example fans.
Unauthorised opening or tampering with the device will invalidate the guarantee and poses the risk of serious damage to people and property.
The unit contains a back-up battery (NiMH-technology) which requires careful handling.
- The back-up battery is maintenance-free
- It must not be tampered with by unauthorised personnel
- If external recharging of the back-up battery is required, this must only be carried out with a battery charging system approved by the manufacturer (maximum charging cur­rent: 35 A, e.g. Acctiva Professional 35A, item number 4,010,335,874. The need to re­charge the battery externally represents a fault that can only occur in special situations (prolonged shutdown, overuse, etc.)
- Do not expose the back-up battery to excessive heat (e.g. do not leave the vehicle parked in bright sunlight)
- The back-up battery is equipped with a protective circuit. This protects it against:
- Overcharging of the cells (damages the cells)
- Deep discharge of the cells (damages the cells)
- Destruction of cells by short circuit
- Polarity reversal
- Incorrect charging
- Overtemperature
Danger from bat­teries
Danger from pressure vessels
The unit contains a back-up battery (NiMH-technology), which requires careful handling. Batteries contain substances harmful to the eyes and skin. These can only be released in the event of serious damage (e.g. overheating, accident, etc.).
- Substances escaping from batteries must not come into contact with the eyes, skin or clothes.
- Do not inhale escaping gases or vapours, and make sure premises are well-ventilated
- Avoid short circuits
- Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or throw it onto an open fire
Further details can be found in the supplementary safety data sheet available from the manufacturer.
The device is fed with hydrogen from an integrated pressure vessel. Ensure compliance with the safety rules for pressure vessels.
There is a container of pressurised hydrogen in the device, and it must therefore be treated with care. Detailed information on proper use can be found in the "Before commissioning" section.
11
Protect the pressure vessel from excessive heat, mechanical impact, naked flames, sparks and arcs.
Keep pressure vessels away from electrical circuits.
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable national and inter­national regulations for pressure vessels and accessories.
Warranty and lia­bility
Safety inspection
The duration of the guarantee for the device depends on the supply contract. However, the manufacturer will not accept any liability if the damage was caused by one or more of the following:
- Use of the charger not in accordance with the intended purpose
- Incorrect operation
- Operating the charger with faulty protection devices
- Non-compliance with the operating instructions
- Unauthorised modifications to the charger
- Catastrophes caused by the activities of third parties and force majeure
A safety inspection must be carried out by a qualified expert
- before using for the first time after installing in the vehicle
- after any changes are made
- after any additional parts are installed, or after any conversions
- after repair, care and maintenance has been carried out
- and at least once every twelve months
The operator is required to carry out a safety inspection of the unit at least once every 12 months and to have the safety elements on the unit function-tested. Applicable national regulations must be observed.
Maintenance, technical inspections and checks must only be carried out by qualified per­sonnel (service organisations) who have been trained in the safety and maintenance of these devices. In addition, all repair and maintenance work must be performed exclusively using original replacement parts. All changes to the device and the use of parts that are not original replacement parts may only be made with the approval of the manufacturer.
If these conditions are not met, the manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of the de­vice. Starting up the device without having performed safety-related maintenance work is done at your own risk.
The manufacturer therefore accepts no liability for damage caused by inadequate mainte­nance carried out by a third party or by the non-performance of maintenance.
Safety symbols Devices with the CE marking satisfy the essential requirements of the applicable European
directives. Further information can be found in the "Technical data" chapter.

General
Functionality and device concept
The HyLOG Fleet device allows transport vehicles for internal logistics to be operated with hydrogen as the energy source. This eliminates the long breaks in operation re­quired with normal charging times, as re­fuelling takes only a few minutes. The result is higher productivity and lower maintenan­ce costs. Ideally the hydrogen is generated locally from renewable energy sources. The only emissions from HyLOG Fleet are small quantities of pure water.
The key component of HyLOG Fleet is the electrochemical unit in the device - the fuel cell. This generates electrical energy from hydrogen and from oxygen in the surrounding air. The fuel cell consists of several individual cells connected in series. A digital control unit supplies it with hydrogen and air in the correct 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 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. Care must be taken to ensure sufficient circulation of air in the operating environment.
Advantages A great economic advantage of HyLOG Fleet is that long battery charging times are re-
placed by a refuelling process that takes only a few minutes. This results in greater avail­ability and productivity of the in-house transport vehicles, combined with lower maintenance costs. The hydrogen tank can be refilled virtually any number of times, within the intended product life cycle of 10 years, whereas batteries always have a limited service life.
Use of the fuel cell offers a range of other benefits as well:
Water is the only combustion product of the fuel cell, which means that it does not produce any pollutants. Another advantage of the fuel cell is that it is quiet and requires practically no maintenance. In contrast to conventional generators, the fuel cell electrochemically con­verts the chemically-bound energy of the hydrogen directly into electrical power. The hy­drogen consumption is therefore very low.
Given the finite nature of energy resources and the need for environment-friendly energy production, HyLOG Fleet sets new standards for energy efficiency and emission reduction. The overall logistics system is particularly environment-friendly when renewable energy sources are used, for example:
- Solar
- Wind
- Water
- Biomass
- Biogas
14
The benefits of using HyLOG Fleet as the energy source for internal transport vehicles can be summed up as follows:
- Long battery charging times of 8 to 10 hours are replaced by a refuelling process that takes less than 3 minutes
- Lower maintenance costs mean optimum productivity compared with conventional battery solutions
- Lower operating costs thanks to longer service life of the fuel-cell-based system
- Less space required since there are no battery charging stations
- Absence of poisonous and odorous emissions
- Quiet
- Energy efficiency is roughly 3 times better than that of conventional systems using in­ternal combustion engines
Properties - Fuel cell-based generator
PEM type (polymer electrolyte membrane)
- Simple to operate
- Can easily be integrated into existing vehicle designs
- High standard of safety due to safety functions integrated into the device and explo­sion protection
- High degree of efficiency
- Quiet, low-maintenance operation
- Interface for data communication

System components
Position Explanation Detailed explanation, specification
Fuel cell Fuel cell Generates electricity via an electrochemical process
from hydrogen and oxygen in the surrounding air ("cold combustion"). Therefore the fuel cell is extremely effi­cient.
Battery Battery with nick-
el-metal hydride technology
Since the fuel cell always works at close to optimum ef­ficiency, it is used primarily to charge the batteries in or­der to store the energy. If power consumption increases due to heavy acceleration of the vehicle, this is largely met by the battery.
On the other hand, when the vehicle is braked, surplus braking energy is stored in the battery again. The vehi­cle's drive unit is therefore a highly efficient hybrid sys­tem. Once the battery is fully charged, the fuel cell stops. When the state of charge drops below a certain level, the fuel cell starts recharging again.
The battery also supplies the energy needed to start the fuel cell.
Tank A steel vessel for
hydrogen gas with a capacity of 27 litres (7.13 gal­lons)
Control Unit
Control and regu­lation unit
Contains the energy for operating the vehicle in the form of hydrogen gas. During the refuelling process, the hy­drogen is compressed to a pressure of 350 bar (5074.55 psi.), resulting in high storage density and long operating intervals between refuelling stops.
Controls the battery charging process and the related activity of the fuel cell. The optimum state of charge of the battery is always adapted to the current vehicle op­eration.
Warning notices on the device
The device is fitted with a rating plate and safety symbols. The rating plate and safety sym­bols must not be removed or painted over.

WARNING!
Leaks in the hydrogen supply in combination with an ignition source pose a risk of fire, explosion or suffocation.
The hydrogen refuelling system must therefore be approved by the manufacturer, set up in compliance with the applicable standards and guidelines and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Refuelling must only be carried out by suitably trained personnel. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies. The additional instructions in the following sections of this chapter must be observed.
WARNING!
Overfilling the hydrogen tank poses a risk of explosion and can result in serious in­juries and damage.
The refuelling process must be carried out according to the SAE J2601-3 parameters and the refuelling guideline of the HyLOG Fleet unit. Do not exceed the indicated fuelling rate, as well as the nominal pressure of 350 bar (5074.55 psi.) at 15 °C (59 °F) and the maximum filling pressure of 438 bar (6350.43 psi.) at 85 °C (1232.39 °F).
WARNING!
Failure to adhere to the specified fuelling parameters could result in serious injury or damage.
The specified fuelling parameters must be observed at all times.
- The HyLOG Fleet system may only be refuelled in accordance with the refuelling guidelines.
- The fuelling system and the fuelling process must be compliant with SAE J2601­3:JUN2013.
- The nominal pressure of the HyLOG Fleet system is 350 bar (5074.55 psi) at 15 °C (59 °F). The maximum filling pressure is 438 bar (6350.43 psi) at 85 °C (185 °F).
- The hydrogen temperature stated in the tables below (Hydrogen Temperature, T refers to the temperature of the hydrogen output by the fuelling system.
- The specified pressure ramp rates must be observed without exception!
- The pressure ramp rates are based on a maximum hydrogen temperature of 85 °C (185 °F) inside the HyLOG Fleet system.
General refuelling - The HyLOG Fleet system must be refuelled at no more than the specified pressure
ramp rates (Average Pressure Ramp Rate, APRR) in accordance with the hydrogen temperature of the refuelling system.

Safety
WARNING!
Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage.
Do not use the functions described here until you have thoroughly read and understood the following documents: ► these operating instructions ► all operating instructions of the vehicle, the refuelling system and other system compo-
nents, particularly the safety rules
WARNING!
Using the device in spaces with inadequate ventilation poses a risk of explosion and suffocation with no visible or otherwise detectable warning.
This is mainly because of the oxygen consumption of the device. However, it is also pos­sible that a combustible gas mixture will gradually accumulate in the surrounding air. Therefore, the device must only be operated in rooms with a volume of not less than 10 m³ (353.15 ft ³) and with an air circulation rate of not less than 0.6/h. Example: With a room volume of 10 m³ (353.15 ft³), an air circulation rate of 0.6/h means that 6 m³ (211.89 ft³) of air are renewed per hour. Other spatial conditions require an exact calculation of the air circulation rate in consultation with the device manufacturer.
WARNING!
Operating condi­tions
Operating and storing the device under environmental conditions different from those specified here can cause serious injury and damage.
The surrounding air must be clean and free from ► smoke ► open flames and fire ► petrol and other inflammable materials, such as liquids, vapours and dust ► corrosive gases or substances
Can be used at altitudes of up to 1600 m (5249 ft)
Detailed information on the permitted environmental conditions can be found in the "Tech­nical data" chapter.
This device is designed to be operated within a temperature range of between +2 °C (+36 °F) and +60 °C (+140 °F).
If the device is started at an ambient temperature of between +2 °C (+36 °F) and +20 °C (+68 °F), the nominal output will not be available until the required process temperature is reached.
At an ambient temperature range between +40 °C (+104 °F) and +60 °C (+140 °F), or with inadequate heat dissipation, derating occurs in order to prevent an overload. Premature degradation of the device can also occur following operation at very high temperatures.
A maximum relative humidity of 85% (non-condensing) is permissible.

Starting energy delivery
WARNING!
Operating the device outside the permitted temperature range can result in serious injuries and damage.
The permitted ambient temperature range is from +2 °C to +60 °C (+36 °F to +140 °F).
Energy is available as soon as you switch on the device. Initially it is provided only by the back-up battery, which at the same time supplies the energy needed to start the fuel cell. Start energy delivery as follows:
Press the "ON" button
1
OFF
ON
The "Power ON" indicator lights up - the energy for operat-
2
ing the vehicle is available immediately.
The fuel cell meets the energy demand according to the operating strategy by interacting accordingly with the back-up battery. The hydrogen in the tank together with the ambient air sucked into the unit is converted into electricity and water as a combustion product. The back-up battery primarily caters for low loads and peak demand.
Stopping energy delivery
The fuel cell operates in its optimal efficiency range and recharges the back-up battery. Once the back-up battery is fully charged, the fuel cell can be automatically and temporarily shut down.
The operating strategy for interaction of the back-up battery and fuel cell can be adapted to the operating cycle. Contact the manufacturer for further details.
To turn off the fuel cell and stop energy delivery:
Press the "OFF" button - the fuel cell is shut down.
1
OFF
Once the fuel cell has been switched off, it is in the "safe state". This means that all valves for the hydrogen supply that can be activated by the fuel cell are closed. In the event that the device is not used for a prolonged period, an automatic safeguard ensures that it does not consume any energy.
The display shows that the shut-down process has
been initiated.
The "Power ON" indicator goes off - the energy for operat-
2
ing the vehicle is immediately turned off.

The basic service messages are shown on the control panel by the specific indicators light­ing up, and more specific information is provided in corresponding text messages. Notify the service technician of the exact combination of indicator and text message.
NOTE!
Ignoring service messages can lead to power reduction.
Arrange for the device to be repaired immediately by a Fronius-trained service technician.
If an error message without a cause that can be rectified immediately appears on the indi­cators and it cannot be concluded that the cause of the fault is a defect in the safety sys­tem, an attempt should first be made to rectify the problem through the following approach:
Stop energy delivery by pressing the "OFF" button
1
Wait until the "Power ON" indicator has gone off
2
Start energy delivery by pressing the "ON" button
3
Wait until the "Power ON" indicator lights up
4
If the fault reoccurs in spite of the restart, it is obviously a defect in the safety system, or the rectification measures listed here do not result in success:
Note the combination of indicator and text message
1
Note the configuration of the device
2
Contact the device manufacturer with a detailed description of the fault

"Service" indicator lights up
Cause: Important maintenance is due soon.
Remedy: Contact the manufacturer immediately to arrange the necessary maintenance
NOTE!
Delaying necessary maintenance work can lead to power reduction.
As soon as the "Service" indicator lights up, contact the manufacturer to arrange for the necessary maintenance work to be carried out.
An acoustic signal sounds - only at devices with Fronius-Display
Cause: The hydrogen sensor inside the device has tripped. At the same time, the
"Fault" indicator lights up red. This points to a hydrogen leak in the system. In addition to the "Fault" indicator a text message can appear, showing the cause of the fault. Basically any safety relevant fault leads to a shut down of the device into the safe state.
Remedy: Try a restart as follows:
Press the "OFF" button - as soon as the device has been shut down, the "Power ON" indicator goes off“ After a waiting time of 10 s press the "ON" button
If the "Fault" indicator still lights up after this new start attempt, contact a Fro­nius-trained service technician, for checking the device. Park the vehicle in a well-ventilated environment. Contact the manufacturer immediately to ar­range the necessary repairs.

If the "Fault" indicator still lights up after this new start attempt, contact a Fro­nius-trained service technician, for checking the device. The fault must be rec­tified by a Fronius-trained service technician. Contact the manufacturer immediately to arrange the necessary repairs. Of course, the same applies if the corresponding text message unambiguously identifies the HyLOG Fleet safety system as the cause of the fault.
Cause: Another cause of the "Fault" indicator lighting up may be a low state of charge
within the integrated back-up battery.
Remedy: If this cause of the fault can be unambiguously identified based on the text
message, recharge the back-up battery using a suitable charger. (Voltage range: 22 - 28.8 V, maximum current 100 A) (e.g. Fronius Selectiva Plus 2100, item number 4,010,061)
