Freedom SW 3000 Owner’s Guide
Configuration
Battery
The second line of the device screen indicates the status of the battery. This
line displays the volts (V); current (A) as either (+) positive amps
(indicating that the battery is charging) or (–) negative amps (indicating the
battery is discharging because you’re inverting); and battery temperature in
either
°
F or
°
C.
AC Input1
When the Freedom SW 3000 has external AC input connected, these AC
display lines indicate the status of the AC input. Each AC display line
shows the values for current (A), frequency (Hz), and the AC voltage in
(V).
AC Out
This line is displayed only when the Freedom SW 3000 is in invert mode
.
This line indicates the AC output on both output lines (1 and 2) and shows
the values for total current (A), the frequency (Hz), and the AC voltage in
(V).
Float
The third stage of three-stage battery charging. After
the batteries reach full charge, charging voltage is
reduced to a lower level to prevent gassing and to
prolong battery life. This stage is often referred to as a
maintenance charge. Rather than charging a battery, it
keeps an already-charged battery from discharging
while providing load current.
AC Bypass
(ACPassthru)
AC input from an AC source like the utility grid or
from a generator is allowed to pass through the unit to
operate connected AC loads. The charger is not
enabled but AC is qualified as good and passed
through the unit.
Equalize
To improve the life and performance of a non-sealed,
flooded (or wet) battery, the Freedom SW 3000’s
multi-stage charging cycle includes a manual equalize
mode that can be used if recommended by the battery
manufacturer.
