When power is first applied to the remote, there is a delay of up to 4
seconds, while the remote and the Inverter/Charger establish communi-
cations.
The Remote shows AC In (status) DC VOLTS, DC AMPS (charger
or inverter current) and INCOMING AC BREAKER AMPS setting plus
CHARGE, INVERT and BATTERY STATE. The display is updated
once per second.
The remote comes ON automatically when
Inverter/Charger is connected to a charged battery or
external AC power. The following buttons are used:
SETUP: Blinking indicates SETUP mode.
SETUP explained “SET UP MODE”.
CHARGE: When the CHARGE LED is On
(Solid Green), the Battery Charger is ON and
charging. When the LED is OFF, the charger is
OFF. Charging automatically begins when exter-
nal AC power is detected.
OPERATING TIP : Leaving the charger ON helps to assure a full battery.
INVERT: When the INVERT LED is On (solid green), the Freedom
Inverter is inverting (making AC power from the DC battery source).
When the INVERT LED is OFF, the inverter is OFF. When external
AC power is present (AC IN LED ON) and the INVERT LED is
blinking green, the inverter is in standby, waiting for external AC
power to be removed to begin inverting. When there is no external
AC power, a blinking green LED indicates the inverter is in the
Idle Mode. Idle mode is explained in detail in the “SETUP MODE”.
OPERATING TIP: To avoid the risk of discharging your batteries if
external power fails, leave the inverter OFF when leaving motorhome
unattended.
POWER SHARE: Before you plug in to an external AC source, note
the breaker size. Press POWER SHARE until the appropriate plug
into a 30 Ampere external AC power source, press POWER SHARE
until the 30 Amp “INCOMING AC BREAKER” LED is ON.
OPERATING TIP: If the breaker trips, reduce this setting. Setting the
POWER SHARE feature to a lower setting may limit charger output
causing the batteries to require more time to become fully charged.
