Step 8: Testing Your Installation

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Pressing the Power button to turn the Freedom XC inverter to
Standby mode on the display panel does not disconnect DC or AC
input power to the Freedom XC. 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 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. This test verifies that the
Freedom XC 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, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC circuit
breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom XC.

WARNING
Testing in Battery Mode
To test the Freedom XC:
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 an AC outlet hard wired to the
Freedom XC.
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, proceed to Testing in Grid Mode.
If the status LED on the display panel glows red, see the
Troubleshooting chapter.
