iv

Freedom SW 3000 Owner’s Guide

FIRE AND BURN HAZARD

Do not cover or obstruct the air intake vent openings and/or install in a zero-clearance compartment.

Do not use transformerless battery chargers in conjunction with the inverter/charger due to overheating.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Charge only properly rated (such as 12 V) lead-acid (GEL, AGM, Flooded, or lead-calcium) rechargeable batteries because other battery types may explode and burst.

Do not work in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. See note #1.

Do not install and/or operate in compartments containing flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. See notes #2 and #3.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTES:

1.Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.

2.This inverter/charger contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

BURN FROM HIGH SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT, FIRE AND EXPLOSION FROM VENTED GASES HAZARDS

Always wear proper, non-absorbent gloves, complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes and wiping your forehead while working near batteries. See note #4.

Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with batteries. See notes #5 and #6 below.

Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

Never charge a frozen battery.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTES:

1.Mount and place the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger unit away from batteries in a well ventilated compartment.

2.Always have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

3.Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

4.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

5.Use extra caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.

6.Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or metal bracelet or the like to the battery terminal, causing a severe burn.

7.When removing a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first for systems with grounded negative. If it is grounded positive, remove the positive terminal first. Make sure all loads connected to the battery and all accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.

Precautions When Preparing to Charge

Precautions When Placing the Inverter/Charger

EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND GASES HAZARD

Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of the inverter/charger.

Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes and skin when cleaning battery terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTES:

Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether equalization is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of charge.

For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's instructions.

RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE INVERTER/CHARGER

Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/charger when reading gravity, or filling battery.

Never place the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger unit directly above batteries; gases from a battery will corrode and damage the inverter/charger.

Do not place a battery on top of the inverter/charger.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

Introduction

About the Freedom SW 3000

Inverter/Charger

The Freedom SW 3000 is a convenient combination of an inverter, multistage battery charger, and transfer switch in one electronic device.

As an inverter, the Freedom SW 3000 provides true sine wave power for your microwave, entertainment system, computer, and other loads. This power is identical to the AC source provided from the utility grid (power company).

Some of the benefits of true sine wave power include consistent cooking in your microwave, handling of sensitive loads such as your TV set, dimmer switches, and appliances with speed controls.

As a 150 amp power-factor corrected charger, the Freedom SW 3000 quickly and efficiently recharges your batteries.

Unique split phase design transfers up to 7.2 kW of incoming qualified AC power.

Premium Power and Ease of Use

For managing your onboard power system, the Freedom SW 3000 provides superior features and rugged durability combined with ease of use. The Freedom SW 3000:

Produces 120 volts AC at up to 3000 watts continuous with a 6000watt surge for ten seconds,

Provides three-stage charging with 150 amps of output and charge formulas for flooded, gel, and AGM deep cycle batteries plus equalization for flooded batteries,

Powers sensitive entertainment electronics using true sine wave power,

Allows split phase input transfers of two legs of 30 amps to make full use of the available AC power,

Has easy-to-read indicator lights on the front panel,

Has automatic cooling fans, and

Provides power sharing which reduces the charging current to prevent unnecessary tripping of an AC input breaker.

Introduction

How the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger

Works

The Freedom SW 3000 is designed to:

invert,

charge, and

accept both split phase and dual input.

With AC input available from the utility grid or a generator, power is passed through the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger to operate connected AC loads. The remaining AC power not used by loads is converted to DC power and used to charge batteries.

If AC input power becomes disconnected, fails, or falls out of specification and is no longer qualified as good AC, a quick transfer takes place and the Freedom SW 3000 begins converting DC power from the batteries into AC power, to continue to supply power to the AC loads.

Inverting

The Freedom SW 3000’s inverting function produces 120 volts AC from your batteries at 3000 watts continuous with 6000 watts of surge power to start loads like pumps and refrigerators.

Charging

The Freedom SW 3000’s charging function:

produces 150 amps to charge your batteries, and

equalizes flooded, lead acid batteries.

Built-in Charge Formulas For the unit to perform at the highest level, the batteries must be charged correctly. The Freedom SW 3000 has optimized algorithms for flooded, gel, and AGM batteries.

Battery Temperature Sensor Since battery temperature is a key factor in correct charging, the charging formula must be adjusted (automatically and in real time) according to the actual battery temperature to ensure that batteries are fully charged, but not overcharged. For this reason, Xantrex® has included a battery temperature sensor with your Freedom SW 3000 and has temperature compensated the charge formula.

Manual Equalization Over a period of time, the cells in a flooded battery can develop uneven chemical states. This can result in a weak (undercharged) cell which, in turn, can reduce the overall capacity of the battery. To improve the life and performance of a non-sealed, flooded battery, the Freedom SW 3000’s multi-stage charging cycle includes a manual equalize mode that can be used, if recommended by the battery manufacturer.

Dead Battery Charging Another feature that the Freedom SW 3000 includes is dead battery charging. The Freedom SW 3000—unlike many chargers—has the ability to recharge batteries even if the battery voltage is very low, i.e., as low as 5 volts.

Introduction

Load Management The Freedom SW 3000 has a built-in transfer relay that connects your inverter output or AC input from the utility grid or generator to your loads. Because the usual AC power sources such as campground outlets or small generators often have limited current availability, having the capability to manage your AC loads is extremely valuable. The Freedom SW 3000 provides a number of features to facilitate this:

The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as efficiently as possible and only requires 22 amps to provide rated charger output. Minimizing the AC current used by the charger means more current is available for your AC loads.

Freedom SW 3000 has a power share feature which prioritizes your AC loads by reducing the charge current and maintaining the total input current to less than your breaker setting or the breaker setting.

Occasionally, AC input sources have low voltage. To avoid loading these weak sources any further, the charger automatically reduces its AC current draw as the AC voltage approaches the minimum acceptable level.

Xanbus® System

The Xanbus system includes the Freedom SW 3000 and other Xanbusenabled devices. The Freedom SW 3000 is the device in a Xanbus system that typically provides network power—500 mA at 12 volts DC. All of the Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the Freedom SW 3000, the System Control Panel (SCP), and the Automatic Generator Starter (AGS) are able to communicate their settings and activity to each other. See Figure 1.

Fault light illuminates if a fault condition occurs. AC/Charge light illuminates when the Freedom SW 3000 is in charge mode and is producing DC output to charge your batteries. AC/Charge also illuminates when you are connected to an AC source like the utility grid or a generator and the AC is qualified.

Inverter On indicates the unit is in invert mode. NOTE: If AC is present and invert mode is enabled, this

light remains illuminated even though AC power is being passed through.

Inverter Enable button is used to switch the inverter on and off.

Reset button is used to clear any active faults if pressed momentarily. If held down for more than three seconds, the unit will reset (reboot) itself.

Xanbus Interface ports are used to connect Xanbusenabled devices including the optional SCP and AGS.
