Basic Installation Procedures
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.
3. 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.
Testing in Grid Mode
To test the Freedom XC:
With the test load from the previous test still connected and
n
operating, connect the shore power source.
The Freedom XC transfers the test load to shore power. The
n
green LED indicating grid mode turns on and the LCD screen
displays the AC MODE icon.
If the test load operates, your installation is successful.

NOTE: If the Power button on the Freedom XC is turned ON, the
Freedom XC will automatically supply the appliances with inverter
power if the shore power source fails or becomes disconnected.
If the Power button on the Freedom XC is turned ON and shore
power voltage is too low (less than 90 volts AC), the unit will
transfer to inverter power to continue running your appliances.

NOTE: Whether or not the Power button is turned ON, shore
power will pass through the Freedom XC to the output when shore
power is within normal operating range. The unit also starts
charging the battery after the transfer to grid mode.
NOTE: In the event of low or no battery voltage, shore power will
pass through the Freedom XC to the output even when shore
power is outside the normal operating range.
