Xantrex Technology 25, 10, 15, 30, 20 owner manual Freedom Watts, Freedom Amps DC

INTRODUCTION

This owner’s manual describes the Freedom Marine Series Inverter/Chargers from Xantrex. These units perform four distinct functions:

1.DC to AC power inverting.

2.Automatic transfer switching between inverter power and incoming AC power.

3.Automatic three-stage battery charging plus manual battery equalizing.

4.Multiple battery bank charging.

•The inverter provides regulated 120 volt AC power at a crystal controlled frequency from a deep cycle battery bank and is rated at:

Freedom 10	1000 watts
Freedom 15	1500 watts
Freedom 20	2000 watts
Freedom 25	2500 watts
Freedom 30	3000 watts

The output is a modified sine wave and is compatible with most appliances, tools and other 120 VAC equipment. (Note: Certain laser printers, breadmakers, digital clocks and small battery chargers may not operate on modfied sine wave.) The idle mode reduces battery power consumption when AC loads are

removed from the inverter output. High effi- ciency ensures the longest possible battery life between charges. All models are designed to deliver surge current for starting loads larger than the continuous rating of the inverter.

•The internal transfer switch allows the Freedom Inverter/Charger to be connected to an external AC source and transfer the source power through the unit directly to the loads. When the external AC power source is disconnected, the transfer switch allows automatic switching of the loads back to the inverter.

The Freedom Inverter/Charger operates as a self-contained backup power system— just add batteries.

•Freedom battery chargers with temperature sensitive charging (TSC) are electronically controlled. The primary charge output current is rated at 12 volts:

Freedom 10	50	amps DC
Freedom 15	75	amps DC
Freedom 20	100 amps DC
Freedom 25	130 amps DC
Freedom 30	140 amps DC

They are designed to rapidly and optimally charge wet cell, gel cell, or Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)** deep-cycle batteries. Battery charging is automatically accomplished in three stages: Bulk Charge, Acceptance Charge and Float Charge. In most cases, no attention or maintenance is required.

When using a Freedom or LINK remote control panel, a manually engaged Equalize Charge cycle is possible.

**Battery type selection is set on the front of the unit or with an optional remote (Remote Control Panel or Link Instrument).
