Equalization Procedure - Xantrex Freedom SW 230V 815-3524-02 Owner's Manual

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 230V will not perform the equalization,
see"Warning Types and Behavior" on page 75.
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.

Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP
IMPORTANT:
In a system where more than one device is capable of
equalizing batteries (such as multiple Freedom SW 230Vs), 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).
