Operating During Transition Between Grid Mode And Battery Mode; Transitioning From Grid Mode To Battery Mode - Xantrex Freedom XC PRO Series Owner's Manual

Operating During Transition Between Grid Mode and Battery Mode

Operating During Transition
Between Grid Mode and Battery
Mode
The Freedom XC PRO's advanced power management is capable
of transitioning power from an AC source to DC source within a
fraction of a second and vice-versa.
The Freedom XC PRO automatically detects when shore power is
present and when it becomes unavailable or drops to less than
90 volts AC.
The transfer time can be set to two settings. For details see
Adjusting Feature Settings in Configuration Mode on page 70.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When the transfer mode is set to UPS, connect only
l
sensitive digital equipment that requires fast AC transfer
times.
Appliances with motors, compressors, and heating
l
elements do not require a transfer mode of UPS. Set APL for
these devices to avoid damaging the transfer relay.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.

Transitioning from Grid Mode to
Battery Mode
When the unit is operating in grid mode and shore power is lost,
the Freedom XC PRO has less than 20 milliseconds (default) to
switch to operating in battery mode (if the Power button is pressed
in the On position) and starts drawing power from the battery.
The operating mode indicator will change to Battery Mode and the
green Status LED for Battery Mode will light up.
However, if the Power button is in Standby mode, this transition
does not happen and the display panel turns off.
