Introduction
Over temperature Alarm and Shutdown
During Battery Mode,
the Freedom XC automatically alerts you if it is overheating and
approaching the over-temperature shutdown limit. The Freedom XC
automatically shuts down when the limit is exceeded. See page 66
for precautions.
Built-in Charge Formulas
For the inverter to perform at the
highest level, the batteries must be charged correctly. The Freedom
XC has optimized algorithms for flooded, gel, and AGM batteries.
Manual Equalization
Over a period of time, the cells in a
flooded battery can develop uneven chemical states. This can result
in a weak (undercharged) cell which, in turn, can reduce the overall
capacity of the battery. To improve the life and performance of a
non-sealed, flooded battery, the Freedom XC multi-stage charging
cycle includes a manual equalize mode that can be used, if
recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Dead Battery Charging
Another feature of the Freedom XC is
dead battery charging. This is the ability to recharge batteries, even
if the battery voltage has reached zero volts.
Ignition Control
The Freedom XC provides two user-selectable
options for ignition control:
•
Ignition Auto-on
: The Freedom XC can automatically
turn the inverter on and off in tandem with the vehicle's
ignition circuit or a manually operated remote switch.
•
Ignition Lockout
: The Freedom XC features the ability to
inhibit the inverter from operating in the absence of a
voltage signal from a vehicle's ignition circuit. This is
particularly useful if the inverter is required to operate only
when a vehicle's engine is running.
Configurable AC Output Frequency and Voltage
The Freedom
XC is factory set to 60 Hz AC output frequency. It can be
configured to 50 Hz for use in regions outside the USA and Canada.
The AC voltage setting can also be configured to either of three
settings: 108, 110, or 120 volts.
Load Management
The Freedom XC has a built-in 30A transfer
relay that connects the inverter output or AC input from the AC
generator to the loads. Because the usual AC power sources such as
small generators often have limited current availability, having the
capability to manage your AC loads is extremely valuable. The
Freedom XC provides a number of features to facilitate this.
•
The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as
efficiently as possible. Minimizing the AC current used by
the charger means more current is available for your AC
loads.
•
The Freedom XC has a power share feature which
prioritizes your AC loads by reducing the charge current
and maintaining the total input current to less than the
breaker setting.
