Installing the Inverter/Charger

Step 8: Testing Your Installation

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

The Inverter Enable button on the Freedom SW 3000 and the optional accessories do not disconnect DC or AC input power to the Freedom SW 3000.

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:

FREEDOM SW 3000

•the Freedom SW 3000 works in invert mode,

•the Freedom SW 3000 works in charge mode, and

•the Freedom SW 3000 works in AC bypass mode.

If the test fails at any point, go to “Step 7: Performing Checks Prior to Initial Start-Up” on page 37 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 3000 Sine Wave Inverter/ Charger Owner’s Guide.

Testing in Invert Mode

To test the Freedom SW 3000 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 3000.

Wait for all the lights on the front panel to flash on and off, indicating that the unit has successfully initialized (10 to 30 seconds).

If the light does not come on, make sure the voltage at the DC terminals on the Freedom SW 3000 is correct, as described in “Step 7: Performing Checks Prior to Initial Start-Up” on page 37.
