Troubleshooting the Freedom SW via the SCP
The Freedom SW 230V is designed with a number of protection
features to provide efficient operation. If, however, you have any
problems operating your inverter/charger read this troubleshooting
chapter.
If you cannot resolve the problem, record the information about
your system. This information will help your dealer or customer
service to assist you better when you contact them.
When a fault or warning message appears, you can acknowledge the
message to clear the screen. To acknowledge a fault or warning
message, press the
Enter
button on the SCP. This action does not
clear the fault or warning condition, so you should consult Table 4
for suggested actions after you have acknowledged the message.
Refer to the
Xanbus System Control Panel Owner’s Guide for more
information on faults and warnings.
Fault Types
There are three types of fault messages: automatic faults, manual
faults, and escalating automatic faults. Table 2 describes how they
differ in their behavior and how you can respond to them when they
appear on the SCP.

Table 2 Faults Types and Behaviors
Fault type Behavior
Automatic fault Clears automatically if the condition that generated the
message goes away. You can also acknowledge automatic
faults without waiting for them to clear automatically.
Manual fault Requires you to clear it by:
•
selecting Clear Faults on the Freedom SW 230V or on
the device that generated the fault (if the condition still
exists, the fault message reappears).
• correcting the condition that caused the fault.
Escalating automatic faults Clear automatically if the fault condition goes away, just like
an automatic fault. However, if an escalating automatic fault
occurs several times within a defined time period, the
escalating automatic fault becomes a manual fault, requiring
user intervention. For example, if three faults occur in one
minute, it will no longer clear itself but becomes a manual
fault. Then you must identify the problem, correct the fault
condition, and clear the fault or reset the device.
