Planning the Installation
This section provides information to help you plan for a basic installation of the Freedom SW 2000.
As your system configuration is determined, record the details in Information About Your System of the Freedom SW 2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide.
Two Key Performance Factors
Two key factors in particular will have a major impact on system performance.
Size and Length of DC Cables
To select the appropriate size and length of DC cables, see “DC Cabling” on page 11.
The DC cables should be as short as possible and large enough to handle the required current, in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation. If there are long battery cables which are in excess of 10 feet each and not of sufficient size, the voltage drop across the cables will have a negative impact on overall system performance.
Mounting Location of the Freedom SW 2000
To choose an appropriate location for mounting the inverter/charger, see “Step 1: Choosing a Location for the Inverter/Charger” on page 15.
