Step 1: Choosing a Location for the
Unit
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND HEAT HAZARDS
Do not install the Freedom SW-RVC in compartments
n
containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations
that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any
space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or
joints, fittings, or other connections between components of
the fuel system. This equipment contains components that
tend to produce arcs or sparks.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not
n
install the Freedom SW-RVC in a zero-clearance
compartment. Overheating may result.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury.
The Freedom SW-RVC should only be installed in locations that
meet the following requirements:
Clearance
Allow as much space around the inverter/charger
as possible. It is recommended that other objects
and surfaces be at least 3 inches (76 mm) away
from the ventilation openings for best
performance.

Close to
The length and size of your DC cables will affect
performance. Use the DC cables recommended
battery
in Table 3 on page 11. The unit should not be
compartment
installed in the battery compartment due to the
possible presence of explosive hydrogen gas
from the batteries.
Cool
Normal air temperature should be between 32 °F
and 140 °F (0 °C and 60 °C)—the cooler the better
within this range.
Dry
Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash
on the inverter/charger. Do not expose to rain,
snow or water.
