Configuration

Menu (Basic)

The Freedom SW 3000 basic menu indicates the status of items and lists
settings that you may have to adjust on a routine basis.

If advanced menu is enabled, scroll through the Freedom SW 3000
advanced menu items until Basic Menu is highlighted and press Enter. See
“Returning to Freedom SW 3000 Basic Menu” on page 30.

This section describes each item in detail with an example of the line item
as it appears on the SCP. Each item is described in terms of its purpose,
whether it is a display or configurable setting, when to use, and the outcome
of changing the setting.

Inverter

Configurable setting

This setting lets you enable or disable the inverter.

In the example shown, the inverter is enabled. The default setting for the
inverter is disabled.

When to use

Enable the inverter when you would like to have AC power

from the inverter.

Outcome

The inverter is enabled. The inverter provides power from the

batteries unless qualified AC input power is present.

Charger

Configurable setting

This setting lets you enable or disable the operation

of the charger. In the example shown, the charger is enabled. The default
setting for the charger is enabled.

When to use

Set the charger to Enabled when you want your batteries

charged when connected to AC power.

The charger can be set to Disabled anytime during the charge cycle to
immediately stop charging. The charger can also be enabled or disabled
from the Freedom SW 3000 front panel.

Outcome

If the AC is qualified, the charger operates. If the AC is not

qualified, then the charger will not operate until AC qualifies.

See “Force Charge” on page 40 for information on automatic charging.

Power Share

Configurable setting

Power Share is a configurable setting that you set

to match to the breaker rating on the AC input. This setting is used to ensure
that the charger limits its output to try to prevent nuisance tripping of the
AC input breaker due to the total current drawn by the charger and your
other AC loads. For more information on this feature, see “Power Share” on
page 38.

In the example shown, Power Share is set to 30A.

IMPORTANT: On the SCP, use the up arrow button or down arrow button
to change the value. Holding down a button lets you scroll through values
quickly.
