Introduction

This chapter describes the standard features of a Freedom SW 2000, as well

as its protection features. It also provides information on the different parts

of the Freedom SW 2000.

Thank you for purchasing the Freedom Sine Wave 2000 Inverter/Charger

from Xantrex Technology Inc. The Freedom SW 2000 is one of the finest

inverter/chargers on the market today, incorporating state-of-the-art

technology and high reliability.

The inverter features an AC pass-through circuit, powering your

in-vehicle, consumer appliances from utility or generator power while

charging the batteries. When utility power is disconnected or the generator

is stopped, the in-vehicle battery backup system keeps your appliances

powered until utility power is restored. Internal protection circuits prevent

over-discharge of the batteries by shutting down the inverter when a low

battery condition occurs. When utility or generator power is restored, the

inverter transfers to the AC source and recharges the batteries.

The front panel features indicator lights and a user interface display for

reading system status, and controls to customize the inverter settings for

your battery bank.

The Freedom SW 2000 is an economical product designed to provide a

reliable supply of electricity to all the essential circuits in the RV, boat, or

commercial vehicle when disconnected from utility power (i.e., shore

power, campground, etc.) The critical loads can be powered for hours or

days, depending on the size of the system battery bank and power

consumption of appliances. When utility or generator power returns, the

batteries are quickly recharged to ensure they will be ready to supply

mobile power during the next trip.

• high power efficiency in invert mode

3

,

• low power consumption

4

,

• power factor correction

5

,

• low electromagnetic interference (EMI), and

• automatic charge resumption, if required, after AC power interruption.

The Freedom SW 2000 provides the following protection features:

• ambient over temperature shutdown,

• high and low battery voltage protection,

• battery temperature sensor (BTS) failure/battery temperature out-of-

range fault protection,

• bad battery fault protection

6

,

• AC output overload and short circuit protection during invert mode,

• AC backfeed

7

protection,

• locked

8

or disconnected fan protection,

• short circuit protection for the BTS and communication connector

ports including protection from incorrectly inserting the remote panel

communication cable plug into the BTS port and vice versa, and

• battery reverse polarity protection.

1.When batteries are fully charged, the inverter/charger will go into standby mode to

reduce the energy draw from the utility.

2.The built-in battery charger-to-AC transfer relay automatically switches power

from the utility to the inverter and handles a maximum rating of 30 A of current at

120 VAC.

3.Inverter/charger operates at over 90% efficiency through most of its power range in

invert mode

4.Uses less than 2 watts of power while in standby mode and in search mode, it con-

sumes less than 4.7 watts of power.

5.Power factor correction reduces apparent power consumption and maximizes effi-

ciency.

6.During charging, if the battery voltage stays below 8.5 volts, charging stops and

fault reported via the front panel display and Fault LED.

7.An AC backfeed error occurs when the AC output of the inverter/charger is con-

nected or routed back to the AC input terminal or when an external AC source is con-

nected to the Freedom SW 2000 unit’s AC output terminals. When this occurs, all

inverter and charger functions are shut down.

8.A locked fan fault occurs when the fan’s blades are hindered from turning by ob-

jects such as accumulated debris that can obstruct the fan’s operation. The Freedom

SW 2000 shuts down upon fault detection, sounds a continuous alarm, and reports the

fault via the front panel display and Fault LED.

Freedom SW 2000 Inverter/Charger Features

AC Compartment Side

The AC side of the Freedom SW 2000 has one breaker (item 1) for inverter

AC output (20 A max for 120 VAC/60 Hz), which protects the internal

inverter relay and the components on the AC control and filter board.

There is a second breaker (item 2) for charger AC input (30 A max for

120 VAC/60 Hz), which protects the internal charge relay and the

components on the AC filter board.

There is also a third breaker (item 3) for pass-through AC input (30 A max

for 120 VAC/60 Hz), which protects the internal pass-through relay and

wiring from the AC output to the user-installed branch circuit breaker.

These breakers are rated for the maximum charge rate and pass-through

current allowed according to the rating of the internal relays.

Appropriately sized branch-rated circuit breakers must be installed directly

on the AC output circuits to protect output circuits and wiring. Consult your

local electrical code for selection of these branch-rated output circuit

breakers.
