30 Freedom X Owner’s Guide
Basic Installation Procedures
Connecting to ACC Signal
The Freedom X can be wired to inhibit inverter operation in the
absence of a vehicle’s (or vessel's) ignition control signal. This
feature can avoid unnecessary battery drain that would otherwise
occur if the inverter was operated without a charging source such as
the vehicle alternator.
To enable ignition control:
1. Ensure that AC and DC power are both OFF.
2. Ensure the vehicle’s ignition is turned to OFF position. It is
highly recommended to remove battery power by
disconnecting the vehicle's battery cables. Refer to the vehicle’s
user manual for proper instructions on how to disconnect the
battery cables.
3. Locate the vehicle's ignition control wire from the vehicle’s
ignition circuit. This wire must be fused appropriately at no
more than 5 amps. Refer to the vehicle’s user manual for
guidance.
4. Locate the ACC input (ignition signal input) terminal. See
Figure 6.

rectangular slot to release the spring clamp.
6. Insert the ignition control wire into the round ACC input
terminal slot.
7. Pull the screwdriver out to engage the spring clamp and secure
the wire to the terminal.
