Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP
Using Search Mode
Why use Search mode?
Search mode allows the inverter to
selectively power only items that draw more than a certain amount
of power, which can result in power savings. The Freedom SW
230V has a no-load power draw of about 50 watts. Enabling search
mode reduces this power draw to less than 11 watts. Search mode
operates differently in single-unit and multi-unit installations.
Single units
When a single Freedom SW 230V 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 Dela
y setting. After
a load larger than the
Search Watts
setting is detected, the inverter
starts producing AC output.
Stacked units
To use search mode in parallel stacking, the Master
unit must have
Search Mode
disabled. The Slave unit must have
Search Mode
enabled.

Configurable Settings
Item
Description
Inverter
Enables or disables the inverter function of the Freedom SW. When
enabled, the unit will invert power from the batteries assuming there
is enough charge in the batteries.
Default value is Enabled.

Enables or disables the Search Mode function of the Freedom SW.
See “Using Search Mode” on page 39 for more information.
Default value is Disabled.
Charger
Enables or disables the charger function of the Freedom SW. When
enabled, the unit will charge the batteries when AC is available. For
more information on configuring the charger settings go to “Charger
Settings Menu” on page 51.
Default value is Enabled.
Auto Chg Enable
Forces the Freedom SW to charge the batteries when qualified input
AC is detected even when the charger function is disabled.
Equalize
Initiates the battery equalization process. See “Equalization
Procedure” on page 41 to enable the procedure.
Default value is Disabled.
Desired Mode
Switches between Operating and Standby modes.
Default value is Operating.
Clear Faults
Warning
Clears any active faults and warnings.
Basic Settings
See “Changing Freedom SW 230V Basic Settings” on page 42 for
more information.
Advanced Settings
See “Changing Freedom SW 230V Advanced Settings” on page 45
for more information.
IMPORTANT:
The Slave unit continuously monitors the output of the
Master unit. If the Master unit has more than 60% of the rated load (e.g.,
2000 watts on Freedom SW 3524), the Slave unit will assist the Master and
the two will share the load equally. Should the load on the Master drop
below 20% of rated load (700 watts for Freedom SW 3524), the Slave unit
disengages and returns to a waiting state.
