Freedom Inverter/Charger Operation
Inverter Operation Using the Front Panel
Once the inverter/charger is installed, you can operate it in invert mode.
To operate in invert mode from the front panel:
1. Press the
INVERTER ENABLE
button on the unit’s front
panel. The
INVERTER ENABLED
indicator light (LED)
illuminates and connected loads will be energized.
2. Note that if AC is present and being passed through, the
INVERTER ENABLED
LED will still illuminate to indicate
inverter mode has been enabled. However, AC will continue to
be passed through to the loads until conditions exist that cause
AC to be disqualified, in which case the unit will transition to
invert mode and power up critical loads.
3. Connect AC input power.
The charger automatically starts up when qualified AC power is
connected.
To operate the inverter with the System Control Panel, refer to
“Operating the Freedom SW with the SCP” on page 18.
4. Disconnect AC power from inverter input by opening the
breaker or disconnect.
5. Place a load on the inverter. For example, plug a 100-watt light
bulb into an outlet that the inverter is powering. Press the
INVERTER ENABLE
button on the Freedom SW 230V. The
INVERTER ENABLED
LED illuminates. The inverter should
run the load using battery power.
6. To test the charger, reconnect the AC input power to allow AC
to the AC input. The AC/Charger On LED should start flashing
after a brief delay. Any AC loads previously powered by the
inverter will also work at this time.
7. Remove the AC input power. The inverter/charger should
transfer to invert mode immediately. (The transfer relay will
make a clicking sound and the
INVERTER ENABLED
LED
will illuminate.) Loads should continue to operate
uninterrupted.
If any part of this test fails, determine the cause before using the
unit.
8. Monitor the Freedom SW 230V Front Panel.
The indicator lights on the front panel show you the operating
status of the Freedom SW 230V. A description of the lights is
provided in Table 1.
If none of the front panel lights are on, see “Troubleshooting”
on page 71.
IMPORTANT:
Review the “Important Safety Instructions” on page iii
before operating the inverter/charger.
