NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Do not physically modify the system devices, wiring harness, and accessories.
• Do not alter the factory settings on any of the system devices including the BMS.
• Do not disassemble the Xantrex Battery or the BMS. They contain non-serviceable parts.
• Only charge the Xantrex Battery with an approved charger. Contact Xantrex for details.
• Do not operate or store the battery outside of the specified environmental limits.
• Do not charge the battery in ambient temperature below freezing.
• Do not charge the battery above 14.8V.
• Do not allow the battery to be completely depleted.
• Do not disconnect the battery while it is being charged.
• Always use the Xantrex Battery with the BMS.
• Components which can be recycled must be recycled and those that cannot be recycled must be disposed of according to local, regional, and national
environmental regulations.
Failure to followthese instructions can result in damage to equipment and may void the warranty.
End-of-Line Functional Check
Refer to the Freedom eGEN System Installation Guide, Step 13 of the Installation Procedure (in section 4), and perform the
following end-of-line check step-by-step.
The eGEN system must be de-energized prior to performing the end-of-line check including removing AC power, turning off
vehicle ignition, turning off the battery disconnect switch, and making sure the BMS Power button is in the Off position.
Follow all necessary safety precautions, use personal protective equipment (PPE), and perform a lock-out, tag-out (LOTO).
1.
£
Check main battery fuse.
l
Check that all fuses are installed and are of the correct type and rating.
l
Check that the fuse replacement label adjacent to the associated fuseholder matches the fuse installed.
l
Use a multimeter and check the continuity across the main battery fuse.
2.
£
Check that all power sources (AC and DC) have their appropriate means of disconnection (Disconnect Devices)
installed and located as close to the source as practical. Disconnect devices must be AC-rated for AC disconnection
and DC-rated for DC disconnection.
3.
£
Check resistance across system DC bus.
l
Without powering up the system, use a multimeter (Ohm) and measure the resistance between the positive and
negative DC bus bars.
l
If the resistance measures less than 10 Ohm then there is potentially a short circuit in the system. Locate the
short circuit and remove it before proceeding further.
4.
£
Check BMS operation.
l
Remove all DC loads.
l
Press the Power button on the BMS to turn it on and listen for the clicking sound when the BMS internal
contactor closes.
l
The battery SoC gauge on the remote panel should light up once battery power is engaged.
5.
£
Check the battery SoC gauge.
l
When BMS is turned on, the battery SoC gauge should automatically start displaying battery status.
l
Press the buttons on the SoC gauge to cycle through battery information and make sure the information is
correct.
l
Make sure the battery capacity is set correctly.
6.
£
Power up the system.
l
Turn on the battery disconnect switch to apply battery power to system DC bus.
l
The Freedom SW (FSW) Inverter/Charger should automatically begin the power-up sequence (the front LEDs
and unit fans should come on briefly upon applying DC power).
