Operating During Transition
Between Grid Mode and Battery
Mode
The Freedom XC’s advanced power management is capable of
transitioning power from an AC source to DC source within a
fraction of a second and vice-versa.
The Freedom XC automatically detects when shore power is
present and when it becomes unavailable or drops to less than
106 V
V
.
The transfer time can be set to two settings. For details see
Adjusting Settings in Configuration Mode on page 53 .
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
l
When the transfer mode is set to UPS , connect only
sensitive digital equipment that requires fast AC transfer
times.
l
Appliances with motors, compressors, and heating
elements do not require a transfer mode of
UPS . Set APL for
these devices to avoid damaging the transfer relay.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
Transitioning from Grid Mode to
Battery Mode
When the unit is operating in grid mode and shore power is lost,
the Freedom XC has less than 20 milliseconds (default) to switch
to operating in battery mode (if the Power button is pressed in the
On position) and starts drawing power from the battery.
The operating mode indicator will change to Battery Mode and the
green Status LED for Battery Mode will light up.
However, if the Power button is in Standby mode, this transition
does not happen and the display panel turns off.
Transitioning from Battery Mode to
Grid Mode
When the unit is operating in Battery Mode and shore power
becomes available, the Freedom XC begins a 20-second
countdown to verify the stability of the shore power. If shore
power remains stable for a 20-second countdown, at the end of
the countdown, the Freedom XC will switch to shore power mode
within 20 milliseconds and start drawing power from the AC
source.
The operating mode indicator will change to grid mode and the
green Status LED for grid mode will light up.
