Step 8: Testing Your Installation

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Pressing the Power button to turn the Freedom X 1200 inverter to
Standby on the display panel does not disconnect DC or AC input
power to the Freedom X 1200. 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 X 1200 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 X 1200. This test verifies that
the Freedom X 1200 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 X 1200, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC
circuit breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom X 1200.

WARNING
Testing in Battery Mode
To test the Freedom X 1200:
1. For hard wired installations, ensure shore power is not
present.
2. Press the Power button to turn the inverter on.
3. Plug a test load, such as a lamp within the power rating of
the inverter into the Freedom X 1200 GFCI or an AC outlet
hard wired to the Freedom X 1200.
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 X
1200, proceed to Testing in AC Mode.
If the status LED on the display panel glows red, see the
Troubleshooting chapter.
