16 Freedom SW 2000 Installation Guide
Installing the Inverter/Charger
Safe Locate the inverter/charger away from battery in a
separate well ventilated compartment. Do not
install the inverter/charger in any compartment
containing flammable gases or liquids like gasoline.
Close to
battery
compartment
The length and size of your DC cables will affect
performance. Use the DC cables recommended in
Table 3 on page 11. The unit should not be installed
in the battery compartment due to the possible
presence of explosive hydrogen gas from the
batteries.
Protected from
battery acid
and gases
Never place the inverter/charger directly above the
batteries—gases from battery will corrode and
damage the inverter/charger. If the inverter/charger
is installed in a compartment above the batteries,
make sure there is a solid, gas-impermeable wall
dividing the two compartments.
Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/
charger or its wiring when filling the batteries or
reading their specific gravity.
Orientation To meet regulatory requirements, the Freedom SW
2000 must be mounted in one of the approved
mounting orientation. See Figure 1 on page 18.
