DC Volts Bar Graph
These LEDs indicate battery voltage as measured inside the Freedom 10. Each
LED segment indicates 1 volt. The DC volts bar graph will stop indicating battery
voltage and display the DIP switch settings if the unit shuts down due to an
overload. It will return to indicating battery voltage only after the unit has been
reset.
DC Amps Bar Graph
These LEDs approximate DC input current in inverter mode and DC output
current in battery charger mode. Two ranges are used.
1. Below 25 amps each segment represents a 5 amp increment.
2. Above 25 amps each segment represents a 10 amp increment.
Above 65 amps a flashing LED segment indicates the value displayed plus
50 amps (for example, a flashing 25 LED is equal to 25 + 50 or 75 amps DC). If
the inverter is in its idle mode, the bottom LED segment will be out. As soon as
the unit is pulled out of idle, the bottom segment will illuminate. This indicator is
useful when adjusting the idle sensitivity using the DIP switches.
The DC amps bar graph will stop indicating DC amps and will indicate the type of
problem if a shutdown occurs. Each LED segment indicates a different problem as
described in “Using the Remote Control DC Amps LED Bar Graph” on page 4–2.
DIP Switches
On the back of the Freedom remote control panel is a series of eight DIP switches
that are used to make several adjustments. If you look closely at the switch block
you will see that each switch is labeled, 1 through 8, and the
ON position is
indicated (see Figure 3-4). The switch settings can be changed at any time, even
while the unit is operating. Following is a discussion of each adjustment. Refer to
“DIP Switch Programming” on page 3–6 for a summary.
OVERLOAD Blinking Inverter mode: shutdown. Diagnose problem with
DC amps bar graph.
Charger mode: thermal shutdown. After cooling,
reset by cycling power switch.
AC INPUT On Steady Illuminates when incoming AC power has been
applied and the transfer relays have been engaged.
There is a 7- to 12-second delay from the time the
AC is applied and this LED illuminates.
INV/CHRG On Steady Power On light. It will be illuminated whenever
the power switch is on (inverter on) or whenever
there is incoming AC power and the charger comes
on.
