Freedom XC PRO Owner's Guide
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 PRO 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 PRO 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 PRO provides two user-selectable options for
ignition control:
n
Ignition Auto-on
: The Freedom XC PRO can automatically
turn the inverter/charger on and off in tandem with the
vehicle's ignition circuit or a manually operated remote
switch.
n
Ignition Lockout
: The Freedom XC PRO features the
ability to inhibit the inverter/charger from operating in the
absence of a voltage signal from a vehicle's ignition circuit.
This is particularly useful if the inverter/charger is required to
operate only when a vehicle's engine is running.
Configurable AC Output Frequency
and Voltage
The Freedom XC PRO is factory set to 60 Hz AC output
frequency and 120 V AC output voltage. 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 PRO has a built-in 30A transfer relay (Freedom
XC PRO 2000) and 50A transfer relay (Freedom XC PRO 3000)
that connects the inverter/charger 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 PRO provides a number of features to facilitate this.
n
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.
n
The Freedom XC PRO 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.
