Operating Modes - Solarc e.GO FUN Manuel D'utilisation Et Informations Techniques

2. Solar powered charging and operating of external devices
Adjust e.GO! in angle 30°, 45°,
60° for the best position to the
sun.
If LED5 (green) shines:
Batteries in the e.GO! are being
charged.
If LED4 (red) + LED5 (green)
shines:
Power is being supplied to
the external device (if
connected).
Note: For an optimal efficiency, please place the e.GO!'s modules completely facing the sun (choose the most adequate
position angle), protecting the charging unit from it. Please avoid putting your e.GO! in the sun when closed or upside down and
hence avoid over-heating of the batteries and the charging unit, which implements a high-temperature protection mechanism,
disconnecting by 45°C (115°F) or more.
3. Mains-operated charging and operating of external devices
Connect the mains adapter with the
e.GO! via input socket.
If LED5 (green) shines:
Batteries in e.GO! are being charged.
If LED4 (red) + LED5 (green) shines:
Power is being supplied to the
external device (if connected).
Note: Only use original mains adapters; mains adapters to be plugged in appropriate mains outlets (see technical data).
4. Operating an external device
Adjust output power through switch
(1 = 1,3 W / 2 = 2.5 W / 3 = 4.0 W),
connect external device using the adequate
adapter cable.
If LED4 (red) shines:
Power is being supplied to the external
device (if connected).
Note: Connect only supported external devices, follow operating notes and set (if necessary) the right polarity of the adapter
cable or plug. Choose the lowest possible output power (higher efficiency). Operating an external device without buffer batteries
is possible. When the operation of the external device is completed, please remove the adapter cable from the e.GO!,
otherwise internal (buffer) battery consumption will occur! Avoid powerful tensile loading and bending of the cables. Do not
use damaged cables (with contact problems or noticeable defects. e. g. aborted plug interlock), otherwise the external
consumer device may be damaged!

5. Operating modes

With AA batteries
Charging mode 1 (Standard): starts automatically after inserting any batteries providing max. 1 A of charging current per
battery (check charging mode 2). The charging condition display (LED1-3) shows, depending on battery type, considerable
deviations. The batteries are charged 100% in every case.
Charging mode 2 (-DeltaU): starts automatically after inserting completely discharged batteries, or alternatively:
after complete discharge of the batteries by connection to an external device via the adapter cable
after pulling the adapter cable out
after disconnecting the e.GO! from the mains adapter or this one from mains (when no sun power is available)
500 mA charging current is supplied per battery string. The charging condition display (LED1-3) work like in mode 1.
Charging mode 3 (Self adjustment): starts automatically after a full charge in mode 2. Exact supervision of all charging and
discharging events at max. 1 A of charging current per battery (or battery string), higher precision on the charging condition
display (LED1-3). After removal of the batteries, charging mode 1 or 2 will start again.
