Troubleshooting

Introduction

The Freedom SW 3000 is designed for high reliability of operation and has a number of protection features to provide trouble free operation. If, however, you have any problems operating your inverter/charger read this troubleshooting chapter.

If you cannot resolve the problem, record the necessary information on the form, “Information About Your System” on page 4. This information will help your dealer or Xantrex Customer Service to assist you better when you contact them.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not disassemble the inverter/charger. The Freedom SW 3000 contains no user-serviceable parts.

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

When a fault or warning message appears, you can acknowledge the message to clear the screen. To acknowledge a fault or warning message, press the Enter button on the SCP. This action does not clear the fault or

warning condition, so you should consult Table 8 and Table 9 for suggested actions after you have acknowledged the message. Refer to the System Control Panel Owner’s Guide for more information on faults and warnings.

Fault Types

There are three types of fault messages: automatic faults, manual faults, and escalating automatic faults. Table 6 describes how they differ in their behavior and how you can respond to them when they appear on the SCP.

Table 6 Faults Types and Behaviors

Fault type	Behavior
Automatic faults	Clear automatically if the fault condition that
	generated the message goes away. You can also
	acknowledge automatic faults without waiting
	for them to clear automatically.
Manual faults	Require you to clear them by:
	• selecting Clear Faults on the Freedom SW
	3000 or on the device that generated the fault
	(if the fault condition still exists, the fault
	message reappears)
	• correcting the condition that caused the fault
