Freedom Lite Commercial Installation Manual Revision 3

Two RJ45 sockets [6] are provided, one for connecting the CAN interface from the battery to
the system controller or directly to the inverter depending on the brand, and another for
connecting the battery to another battery or for a termination resistor (more detail later in
manual).
A DB9 Serial Connector [7] is fitted for use by technicians for programming the required
profile onto the BMS. The required profile is typically loaded by Freedom Won prior to
delivery or during commissioning for site build models but installers are advised to obtain
the correct adapter to allow Freedom Won to program batteries remotely on behalf of the
installer via the installer’s Windows laptop if necessary. Note the correct adapter for the Lite
Commercial range is a CANdapter (Figure 2.4). This is available from Freedom Won as an
accessory; however all batteries are supplied with one CANdapter as standard.
An error reset button [8] is positioned near the DB9 plug for clearing BMS errors.
Freedom Lite is also fitted with a State of Charge (SoC) display [9], which includes a red LED
error indicator [10] and below it a “low power” indicator.
The ON button [11] and OFF button [12] are located beside the SoC display.
The Lite is supplied with securing tabs along the top and bottom as part of the rear cover to
secure the battery against the wall to prevent it from tipping over [13] or shifting if installed
into a container to be transported to site.
All models are supplied with permanently installed eye bolts [14]. For the 100/70, 120/84,
and 140/98, these eye bolts are provided for lifting the full battery mass. For the larger
models (160/112 and larger) these eyebolts are provided for lifting the empty casing only
(prior to battery assembly). Do not attempt to lift these models using the eye bolts after
assembly is completed.
All Lite’s have feet as standard, with plastic slippers underneath [15].
A WiFi Connect logging device is fitted as standard to all Lite Commercial models [16], which
must be commissioned when the plant room WiFi is available by following the instructions
