Step 8: Testing Your Installation

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Pressing the Power button to turn the Freedom XC PRO inverter to
Standby mode on the display panel does not disconnect DC or AC
input power to the Freedom XC PRO. If shore power is present at
AC input terminals, it will pass through to the AC output.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage.
There are two tests to be performed. The first test verifies that the
Freedom XC PRO is inverting DC battery power and delivering
AC power to its output.
The second test is intended for installations where AC input and
output is hard wired to the Freedom XC PRO. This test verifies
that the Freedom XC PRO transfers from inverter power to shore
power when shore power is present.
NOTE: Shore power (pass-through) refers to the AC input power
from a utility grid, generator or external AC source.
When you are ready to test your installation and operate the
Freedom XC PRO, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC
circuit breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom XC PRO.

WARNING
Testing in Battery Mode
To test the Freedom XC PRO:
1. For hard wired installations, ensure shore power is not
present.
2. Press the Power button to turn the inverter/charger on.
The green LED indicating Battery mode (Inverter mode)
turns on and the LCD screen displays the BATT. MODE
icon.
3. Plug a test load, such as a lamp within the power rating of
the inverter/charger into the Freedom XC PRO GFCI or an
AC outlet hard wired to the Freedom XC PRO.
4. Turn the lamp on to verify that it operates.
If the lamp operates, your installation is successful. If your
installation has AC input and output hard wired to the Freedom XC
PRO, proceed to Testing in Grid Mode.
If the status LED on the display panel glows red, see the
Troubleshooting chapter.
