Freedom EX 4000 Owner's Guide
If the problem loads cannot be resolved,
there are two workaround solutions:
Disable search mode from the main
Freedom EX 4000 Setup menu, causing the
inverter to remain at full output voltage.
Use a search friendly companion load whose
only purpose is to be switched on to wake up
the inverter to power the load that is unable
to bring the inverter out of search mode.
Stacked units
Search mode must be enabled when parallel
stacking. See
. Search mode is not
supported in series stacking.
NOTE
: Search mode, by function, cannot work with clocks and
timers or devices that need power 24 hours a day. Examples of
devices with timers include video recorders, coffee makers with
brew timers, refrigerators, and freezers with defrost timers.
Examples of devices that need power 24 hours a day include
telephone answering machines, alarm systems, motion detection
lights, and some thermostats.
When the inverter is searching the output for loads, lights that
have a wattage lower than this setting may flash momentarily.
Power Save Mode
When enabled, power save mode can reduce tare loss from the
battery by reducing the output from 120 volts to 108 volts when
the loads are consuming less than 100 watts. When the Freedom
EX 4000 detects loads higher than 100 watts, it produces the full
120 volts. Power save mode is disabled by default.
