Page 2: Product Description
This manual does not attempt to cover all the details pertaining to the setup of third-party equipment in relation to the interface and necessary functionality to work with the Lite. Freedom Won however is available at the contact details on page one to provide direct support where necessary for supported third party brands. - Page 3 Refer to Table 2.2 for the HV and HV+ model options to suit the ATESS inverters. Please contact Freedom Won should specific technical information be required for the models suited to the Ingeteam 1MW class and SMA 2MW class battery inverters and any other brand of high DC voltage battery inverter.

The required profile is typically loaded by Freedom Won prior to delivery or during commissioning for site build models but installers are advised to obtain the correct adapter to allow Freedom Won to program batteries remotely on behalf of the installer via the installer’s Windows laptop if necessary.

- Page 11 Note that custom voltages may result in different battery capacities from what is included in this specification sheet – please contact Freedom Won for further details. Fly Leads 3.0m long as standard, power cable Red = Positive, Black = Negative, conductors in table refer to one electrode i.e.
- Page 12 (see specification sheet or Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 for dimensions). For a complete packing list of each model please enquire with Freedom Won. The models shipped to site complete may be lifted using the fitted eye bolts. The models shipped unassembled also have eye bolts fitted to the enclosure, which may be used only for lifting the EMPTY enclosure into position.
- Page 13 Note: All Lite Commercial models can be offered complete ex-factory installed into a shipping container. Such systems are pre-commissioned at the Freedom Won factory and can be combined with the required battery inverters supplied and fitted by Freedom Won. For lifting the factory assembled Commercial units into position specialised equipment is required.
- Page 14 2. If manoeuvring through a doorway too low for upright handling is unavoidable the battery can be positioned (whilst still inside the crate) on its long side. Special packaging inside the crate is required for this procedure so Freedom Won must be notified of this requirement prior to collection.
- Page 15 Freedom Lite Commercial Installation Manual Revision 3 4. Take care not to scratch the Lite during handling. Packaging foam should be used to protect the paint when being handled on a trolley or pallet jack. 5. Always ensure that lifting equipment and slings are adequately rated for the lifting weight.
- Page 16 SMA this configuration is such that a special cable is required – please refer to the respective inverter brands manuals for their pin configuration or contact Freedom Won for assistance. Special cables for all the supported inverter brands are available from Freedom Won (see accessories section).
- Page 17 If a particular inverter under consideration only has a Modbus control input for the BMS we recommend as first option considering another inverter that has a CAN Bus input. If this is not practical, please discuss the project with Freedom Won so that we can consider using a CAN Bus to MODBUS converter.
- Page 18 Freedom Lite Commercial Installation Manual Revision 3 from Freedom Won. SMA, Imeon, Solax and Victron operate on this basis. ATESS for example has a separate CAN terminal block for bare wires to be inserted from the BMS and these units have an internal resistor fitted into the device. All Freedom Lite models have two CAN plugs for parallel configurations (Figure 4.2) and allow fitment of the termination...

Parallel Configurations It is permissible to connect multiple Freedom Lite’s in parallel provided that the Freedom Lite model size used is the same throughout.
- Page 20 If the master Lite trips one of the slaves will take over as the master automatically without any interruption of service. Freedom Won offers a fair trade in on Freedom Lite’s on the purchase of new units, which is an option for somebody wishing to expand their battery capacity instead of installing parallel units.
- Page 21 If the breaker trips again it is likely because of an error on the BMS and Freedom Won should be contacted to assist with diagnosing and clearing the error.
- Page 22 BMS. A CANdapter to USB adaptor is required for connecting Freedom Lite to a Windows personal computer. The computer must have the correct utility software installed. Programming of the BMS is a function performed by Freedom Won and approved representatives. Write access to the BMS profile is password protected, however users and owners may request read only access.
- Page 23 Freedom Lite Commercial Installation Manual Revision 3 The voltage settings for the Freedom Lite range of nominally 52V batteries when operating in a system where the BMS can control the external devices as explained above are as follows: Minimum (cut off) – 47V (the Lite should never reach this low voltage but is it good to have this set as a redundancy protection measure.

If none of the above solves the problem you will need to contact Freedom Won or your authorised installer for assistance with this issue. It will be necessary to establish the reason for the error before continuing with normal operation of the system.

Contact Freedom Won or an approved reset installer for assistance with determining the problem. If the main breaker does not trip it is not a critical error and you may continue using the battery while you make contact for assistance.
