Freedom X Owner’s Guide
Basic Installation Procedures
Recreational Vehicle
Use 8AWG copper wire and connect it
between the Chassis Ground lug and the vehicle’s DC grounding
point (usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus).
Marine
Use copper wire that is bare or has insulation rated
minimum 105 °C, and connect it between the Chassis Ground lug
and the boat’s DC grounding bus or engine negative bus. For the
Freedom X, use a wire of gauge 3AWG minimum.
Inverter Ignition Control
The Freedom X can be wired to inhibit inverter operation in the
absence of a vehicle’s (or vessel's) ignition control signal. This
feature can avoid unnecessary battery drain that would otherwise
occur if the inverter was operated without a charging source such as
the vehicle alternator.
To enable ignition control:
1. Ensure that AC and DC power are both OFF.
2. Ensure the vehicle’s ignition is turned to OFF position. It is
highly recommended to remove battery power by
disconnecting the vehicle's battery cables. Refer to the vehicle’s
user manual for proper instructions on how to disconnect the
battery cables.
3. Locate the vehicle's ignition control wire from the vehicle’s
ignition circuit. This wire must be fused appropriately at no
more than 5 amps. Refer to the vehicle’s user manual for
guidance.
4. Locate the ignition control terminal on the left hand side of the
AC panel.
