Application Scenario - Security - SFC Energy AG - #1

Asurefhing!

Security systems have to run reliably, around the clock and in all kinds of weather. After all, they're usually protecting valuable, and sometimes even strategic, facilities. Systems in remote loca­tions present the additional challenge of requiring reliable, off-grid power. Even if a concealed 25-watt camera uses a "mere" 600 watt hours per day, that's a stretch for most of the traditional remote power systems available today. A battery will last only two days before it has to be replaced. And each time it is replaced, you risk detection. Solar cells are an option, but they don't generate enough electricity if the weather's bad. What's more, they're visible from far and wide - a sure

tip-off that there's an electrical device somewhere nearby.

The solufion: quief, dependable power from a fuel cell

The Dutch company Tedas Security Solutions employs compact, quiet EFOY Pro Series Fuel Cells to power its mobile security systems and surveillance cameras. The benefits: the EFOY Pro con­nects to the device invisibly, either in a housing or in the practical EFOY ProCube, rendering it theft-proof. It works so quietly and odor-free that it's undetectable. And best of all, it keeps on working weeks on end on its own.

The EFOY Pro connects to the battery that powers the device. If voltage dips below a certain level, the EFOY Pro switches on automatically. Once the battery is completely recharged, the EFOY Pro automatically reverts to standby mode. The process involves no moving parts and no combustion whatsoever, emitting only carbon dioxide and water - no more than a child's breath.
