Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP

Equalization Procedure

To start equalizing the batteries, do one of the following:

•Apply AC voltage and ensure that the inverter/charger transfers AC and starts charging.

•On the Xanbus Setup menu, highlight Equalize and select Enable. The unit will proceed and execute a complete bulk and absorption charge before transitioning to equalize.

IMPORTANT: The inverter/charger will not perform equalization if AC is not present, the charger is disabled, or the selected battery type does not support equalization. If any of these cases happen, a warning is issued

If the Freedom SW will not perform the equalization, see“Warning Types and Behavior” on page 69.

IMPORTANT: In a system where more than one device is capable of equalizing batteries (such as multiple Freedom SWs), there is no system- wide equalization command for all devices. To equalize with multiple devices, each would have to be enabled individually. Alternatively, equalization can be performed using only one device. During the equalization process, one device applies the equalization charge while the other devices continue to operate in synchronized charge mode, typically in float (three-stage charging) or no-float (two-stage charging).

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Only flooded or vented batteries should be equalize charged. Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced when batteries are equalize charged. Provide adequate ventilation and remove all sources of ignition to prevent explosion.

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