Freedom EX 4000 Owner's Guide

Overload Alarm
and Shutdown

During Battery Mode (also called Inverter
Mode), the Freedom EX 4000 automatically
alerts you if the loads that are connected and
drawing power from the unit are close to
approaching the maximum operating limit. If
so, inverting and/or charging operation is
temporarily shut down when the maximum
operating limit is exceeded to prevent
overheating. Inverting and/or charging
operation resumes when the shutdown error
is cleared. See

Troubleshooting Reference on

page 56

for precautions.

Over temperature
Alarm and
Shutdown

During Battery Mode, the Freedom EX 4000
automatically alerts you if it is overheating
and approaching the over-temperature
shutdown limit. Inverting and/or charging
operation is temporarily shut down when the
limit is exceeded until the shutdown error is
cleared. See

Troubleshooting Reference on

page 56

for precautions.

Built-in Charge
Formulas

For the inverter/charger/converter to perform
at the highest level, the batteries must be
charged correctly. The Freedom EX 4000 has
optimized algorithms for flooded, gel, AGM,
and Custom batteries, and lithium iron
phosphate [LFP (or LiFePO

4

)] Xantrex

Batteries.

Manual
Equalization (for
Flooded, vented
lead-acid
batteries)

Over a period of time, the cells in a flooded
battery can develop uneven chemical states.
This can result in a weak (undercharged) cell
which, in turn, can reduce the overall capacity
of the battery. To improve the life and
performance of a non-sealed, flooded battery,
the Freedom EX 4000 multi-stage charging
cycle includes a manual equalize mode that
can be used, if recommended by the battery
manufacturer.
