Operating in Battery Mode
Power Save Timer
The Power Save Timer is an adjustable countdown timer from 1 to
25 hours (25 hours is the default) that automatically shuts down
inverter operation to reduce battery discharge and preserve battery
life. During continuous inverter operation, the countdown is
initiated when power from the AC load drops to less than
approximately 50 watts and remains below this level. After reaching
the end of the countdown timer the inverter automatically shuts
down.
To change the countdown timer, see “To change the default value to
a different value:” on page 49.
Power Save Mode:
By enabling the power save mode, the
inverter can automatically go to load sense mode by sending short
pulses to further reduce the battery discharge. Power save mode
ends when a load greater than 25 W is connected.
Checking Battery Status
During inverter operation (in battery mode), you can check the
battery status by observing the battery capacity indicator on the
LCD screen. The battery voltage appears in the left side of LCD
screen.
The normal operating battery voltage range is between 11 and
15 volts.
Checking Output Power
When the inverter is in operation (in battery mode), you can check
how much power (displayed in kW) the Freedom X is supplying to
the connected loads by observing the load capacity indicator on the
LCD screen. The battery discharge amperage appears in the right
side of the LCD screen.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the Freedom X, turn
them on one at a time after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does
not have to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and
will help prevent an overload shutdown.
