Testing in Invert Mode
To test the Freedom SW-RVC in invert mode, using a 100
watt light bulb as the test load:
1. Close the DC disconnect switch or the DC circuit breaker
to supply DC power to the Freedom SW-RVC.
2. Wait for all the lights on the front panel to flash on and off,
indicating that the unit has successfully initialized (10 to 30
seconds).
3. If the bulb does not come on, make sure the voltage at the
DC terminals on the Freedom SW-RVC is correct, as
described in
Step 7: Performing Checks Prior to Initial Start-
4. After initialization, observe that none of the lights on the
front panel should remain illuminated.
5. Press the INVERTER ENABLE button.
6. Verify that the INVERTER ENABLED LED is on.
7. Connect the Freedom SW-RVC to the test load by closing
the AC breaker that controls the circuit that the test load is
connected to. If the light bulb illuminates, the Invert mode is
working.
8. Press the INVERTER ENABLE button to disable the
inverter.
9. Verify that the INVERTER ENABLED LED is off.
TestinginChargeModeandACBypassMode
1. Close the AC supply breaker to supply AC power to the
unit.
2. To verify that the Freedom SW-RVC starts charging:
After a few seconds, verify that the AC IN/CHARGING
LED on the front panel is turned on (indicating that the
batteries are being charged).
3. To verify that Freedom SW-RVC correctly switches to
Bypass mode:
Disable the AC source and disable inverter mode by
pressing the INVERTER ENABLE button.
4. Connect the test load to the AC output connection of the
unit.
5. Enable the AC source and the test load should turn on after
ten seconds.
Installation Complete
Your installation is now complete. The Freedom SW-RVC
inverter/charger is ready for use.
The preceding tests use a light test load (a light bulb) as a test
case. If you encounter problems when using a load over 1000
watts (for example, a hair dryer or microwave), see the
troubleshooting information in the Owner's Guide (document
number: 975-1056-01-01).
