Freedom X Owner's Guide
Checking Battery Status
During inverter operation (in battery mode), you can check the
battery status by observing the battery capacity indicator on the
LCD screen. The battery voltage appears in the left side of LCD
screen.
The normal operating battery voltage range is between 11 and
15 volts.
Checking Output Power
When the inverter is in operation (in battery mode), you can check
how much power (displayed in kW) the Freedom X is supplying to
the connected loads by observing the load capacity indicator on
the LCD screen. The battery discharge amperage appears in the
right side of the LCD screen.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the Freedom X, turn
them on one at a time after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does
not have to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and
will help prevent an overload shutdown.
