Installing the Inverter/Charger

Step 7: Testing Your Installation

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

The Inverter Enable button on the Freedom SW 2000 and the optional accessories do not disconnect DC or AC input power to the Freedom SW 2000.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

There are several tests to be performed for testing your installation. These tests will verify that:

the Freedom SW 2000 works in invert mode,

the Freedom SW 2000 works in charge mode, and

the Freedom SW 2000 works in AC pass-through mode.

If the test fails at any point, go to “Step 6: Performing Checks Prior to Initial Start-Up” on page 33 and go through the checklist again to check the installation. Then perform the test again. If the test fails again, see the troubleshooting section in the Freedom SW 2000 Sine Wave Inverter/ Charger Owner’s Guide.

Testing in Invert Mode

To test the Freedom SW 2000 in invert mode, using a 100 watt light bulb as the test load:

1.Close the DC disconnect switch or the DC circuit breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom SW 2000.

Make sure the voltage at the DC terminals on the Freedom SW 2000 is correct, as described in “Step 6: Performing Checks Prior to Initial Start-Up” on page 33.

2.Apply DC power to the inverter by switching on the DC disconnect circuit breaker and then pressing the ON/STANDBY switch once.

The inverter will go through a self-test.

Each of the indicator lights will flash in sequence,
