Operating in Battery Mode
The Freedom XC is in Battery Mode (also called Inverter Mode)
when all the following conditions exist:
n
inverter power button is ON (down position) or
ignition auto-on is activated
n
shore power is not presently available
n
battery has sufficient power
Inverter operation means that DC battery power is presently being
converted to utility grade AC power, powering equipment and
appliances connected to the AC output terminal of the unit. The
green status LED lights up to indicate the Freedom XC is using
the battery to power the equipment and appliances.
BATT.MODE
Power Save Timer
The Power Save Timer is an adjustable countdown timer from 1 to
25 h (25 h is the default) that automatically shuts down inverter
operation to reduce battery discharge and preserve battery life.
During continuous inverter operation, the countdown is initiated
when power from the AC load drops to less than approximately
50 W and remains below this level. After reaching the end of the
countdown timer the inverter/charger automatically shuts down.
To change the countdown timer, see Settings on page 56 .
Power Save Mode
By enabling the power save mode, also called load sensing, the
inverter/charger can automatically go to power save mode by
sending short pulses to further reduce the battery discharge.
Power save mode ends when a load greater than 25 W is
connected.
NOTE : Certain types of loads can cause power save mode to
work unexpectedly. These types of loads are described in
Problem Loads on page 83 .
