Installing the Inverter/Charger
This guide for use by qualified installers only.
• the cooling fan will turn on momentarily,
• the transfer relay will switch, and
• the temperature sensors will be checked for open or short circuit.
3. After the self-test the unit will start inverting.
4. Using a true RMS AC voltmeter, check the output voltage of the
inverter. This voltage can be checked at either the AC terminal block
or in the sub-panel (between the line and neutral). The voltage should
be approximately 120 Vac/60Hz.
Testing in Charge Mode
1. Apply AC power to the inverter.
2. The inverter starts charging the batteries in the Bulk mode, indicated
by the Charge Mode indicator light illuminating orange. It takes about
15 seconds for the unit to transition from invert mode to charge mode
after the application of qualified AC.
3. Using a true RMS AC voltmeter, check the output voltage of the
inverter. This voltage can be checked at either the AC terminal block
or in the sub-panel (between the line and neutral). The voltage should
be approximately 120 Vac/60Hz. This ensures the inverter/charger is
delivering AC output in pass-through mode.
4. Switch the AC disconnect circuit breaker to OFF. The inverter will go
into invert mode (if a sufficient load is applied to the AC output while
in the search mode). The Invert Mode indicator light will illuminate
indicating the inverter is active. The voltage on the AC output of the
inverter will remain the same as above 120 Vac/60Hz (± 5%
maximum) except when the unit is set to be in search mode.
5. Reapply the AC power by switching the AC disconnect to ON. Allow
the batteries to fully recharge.
Installation Complete
Your installation is now complete. The inverter/charger is ready for use.
The preceding tests use a light load (a light bulb) as a test case. If you
encounter problems when using a load over 1000 W (for example, a
hairdryer or microwave), see the troubleshooting information in the
Freedom SW 2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide.
IMPORTANT:
If the inverter is in Search Mode and a sufficient load is not
available to bring the inverter up to full voltage, turn the Search Mode
potentiometer fully counterclockwise to defeat the search function.
IMPORTANT:
The unit will not use battery energy for AC output as long as
AC input (utility or generator) is available to the inverter.
