Search Mode
What is Search
mode
When a single Freedom EX 4000
Inverter/Charger with 48VDC-to-12VDC
Converter has search mode enabled, the
inverter sends electrical search pulses
through its AC output. These search pulses
look for connected AC loads. The delay
between search pulses is set using the
Search Delay setting. After a load larger than
the Search Threshold setting is detected, the
inverter starts producing AC output.
When to set up
Search mode
The search mode feature is only valuable if
the inverter can spend a fair amount of time
“sleeping” each day. Therefore, if search
mode is to be used it must be adjusted
properly. The initial adjustment should be
made so that the Freedom EX 4000 comes
on only when needed.
Certain types of loads can cause search
mode to work improperly. These types of
loads are described in
. If these kinds of loads are in the
system, follow the suggestions given to
resolve the problem.
