Introduction
The Xantrex Freedom Sequence Intelligent Power Manager is a fully
integrated power management system (sometimes referred to as EMS or
energy management system) that provides automatic power and load
management for use in recreational vehicles (RV) while receiving power
from a generator or shore power. The Freedom Sequence power manager
optimizes the available current capacity from an AC electrical source to
power as many connected AC loads as possible. It makes decisions on
which loads get power based on a priority base set by the installer
1
.
Standard Features
• Manage power for single or split-phase AC sources up to 50 amps
including 15-, 20-, 30-, and 50-amp shore and generator power
sources.
• Fully user configurable AC and DC load management system using
the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP).
• Monitor current draw and On/Off status for each AC load circuit,
including the current draw from the main AC source (shore or
generator power).
• Has six AC relays (PN: 809-0912) or four AC relays (PN: 809-0913)
via the AC relay terminal blocks which can control AC load circuits
rated up to 15 amps each.
• Four DC relays (via the DC auxiliary connector port) which can
control external DC circuits based on Battery Voltage.
These four DC relays can also be used to control external AC circuits
• Circuit level override from load-shed3 and priority swapping4, directly
accessible via the SCP.
• Sequential engaging of AC loads for generator soft-start that
eliminates heavy inrush demand.
• Seamless integration with Freedom SW Inverter/Chargers to provide
charger derating, automatic inverter assist, and auto-detect generator
run conditions and reset breaker rating from Shore to Generator
breaker rating.

quence’s available six (or four) AC relays.
3.Load shedding is defined as cutting power to loads that are drawing current from the system in
order to avoid an overload condition.
4.Priority swapping is defined as the automatic prioritization of loads when one load has been assigned a different priority number.

from a single easy-to-use interface.
The Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) is a panel and a control
module system that provides automatic activation for your generator. If the
AGS is present in the Xanbus network, the power manager does not need
the B+ signal to be hardwired to the generator for it to receive generator-run
conditions.
Together with the Freedom SW Series Inverter/Charger, the power manager
provides advanced power optimization features of interactive charger derating and automatic inverter assist to provide additional power to support
high peak power demands.

Introduction
Xanbus System
The Xanbus system includes the Freedom SW Series Inverter/Charger and
other Xanbus-enabled devices. The inverter/charger is the device in a
Xanbus system that typically provides network power—500 mA at 12 volts
DC. When Freedom Sequence is present in the network, it can also provide
the power for the whole Xanbus network. All of the Xanbus-enabled
devices, such as Freedom Sequence, the SCP, and the AGS are able to
communicate their settings and activity to each other. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
Typical Xanbus System Diagram
The Xanbus-enabled designation (see below) means that this product works
on a Xanbus network. Xanbus-enabled products are:
• Simple to operate and routine tasks are automated,
• Controlled by software that eliminates analog signalling errors,
• Less susceptible to interference and line loss, and
• Upgradable through new software releases.
For detailed instructions and a complete list of Xanbus-enabled devices,

Shore Breaker Mode
Shore breaker setting can be set to Auto or Manual.
When set to Auto, the Freedom Sequence is capable of automatically
detecting the type of AC source (singe-phase or split-phase) and sets the
shore breaker rating (see “Breaker Ratings” on page 15). When split-phase
AC source is detected, a 50-amp breaker rating is automatically set.
Otherwise, if a single-phase AC source is detected, the breaker rating is set
to 30 amps. Because the setting is automatically determined, the shore
breaker rating cannot be modified.
When the shore breaker mode is set to Manual, the shore breaker rating can
be modified and set between 5 to 50 amps.
By default, the setting for Shore Breaker Mode is Auto.

Breaker Ratings
The breaker rating sets the current limit which is used by Freedom
Sequence to restrict the consumption of power within the system by all AC
load circuits. Freedom Sequence stores in its memory different settings for
the Shore Breaker and the Generator Breaker. The Freedom Sequence
applies the shore or generator breaker rating based on the source of AC
Input. See “Auto-Detection of AC Input Source (Shore/Gen)” on page 33
for more information.
Freedom Sequence can automatically detect if the AC input source passing
through it is a split-phase or single-phase. The current limits are applied on
Line1 and Line2 circuits accordingly. For example, if the AC input source is
a 30-amp split-phase AC line, Freedom Sequence will apply a current limit
of 30 amps for each circuit. Line1 will have a 30-amp limit and Line2 as
well. If it detects a single-phase AC line and the shore breaker rating is set
to 30 amps, Freedom Sequence will apply a combined 30-amp limit to
loads connected with Line1and Line2.
Shore Breaker Rating

Circuit Configuration
The circuit configuration screen displays five circuits at a time (see
“Freedom Sequence Basic Configuration Screen” on page 11).
Basic Configuration Settings
Each circuit has settings that can be configured individually.
• Priority – a numerical circuit priority designation from 1 to 10
This setting will allow a circuit to be re-prioritized. 1 is highest priority
and 10 is the lowest priority.
• Load Shed – can be set to Disabled or Enabled.
This setting will allow a circuit to be subjected to load shedding or not.

.
IMPORTANT:
When reprogramming default circuit priority settings,
always consult a professional installer from your RV dealership.
Circuit Priority
Each AC relay of the power manager that is configured to control an AC
load circuit is assigned a priority number. The power manager uses this
priority number in a ranking order to control the load shed order or load
disconnect order in the event that an AC load demand exceeds the shore or
generator breaker capacity. See “AC Load Shedding” on page 34 for more
information. A priority of “1” is equivalent to the highest priority, therefore,
it is the last to be shed in an overload condition. Conversely, a priority of
975-0593-01-01 17
“10” is the lowest priority and the first to be shed.

AC Relays
By default, each AC load circuit is assigned a priority number in the factory
(ACLoad1 = 1 up to ACLoad6 = 61), which can be changed via SCP on the
Circuit Config screen. The priority order is then automatically swapped
as explained in “Priority Swapping Between Circuits” on page 37.
How the power manager uses the priority number to determine the loadshedding order of AC circuits is explained in “AC Load Shedding” on page
34.
DC Relays
DC Relays are not assigned a priority, but if a DC relay is associated to
either Line1 or Line2, it will assume the lowest priority ranking in the
system.
If association of a DC Relay is changed from Line1 or Line2 to Batt1, it
will lose any priority value and the power manager will re-organize the
priority numbers for the rest of the relays.
To change the priority setting from the Device Status screen:
1.For the four-circuit Freedom Sequence model, AC circuits are ACLoad1 up to ACLoad4. DC
circuits are from DCLoad1 up to DCLoad4.

Load Shed
Load circuits controlled by AC-only relays can be forced to remain ON and
exempt themselves from the load shedding logic of the Freedom Sequence
power manager. This exemption technique is useful when you want to keep
one or two loads running at the expense of other loads in the system that
remain subject to the load shedding logic. If the Load Shed setting is
Disabled, this can be interpreted as rendering the load circuit “invisible”
from the power system. Thus, the power manager cannot apply the load
shedding logic to this circuit but can still apply to the other loads “visible”
to the power manager. Therefore, the user should be careful to change this
setting back to Enabled since this is not done automatically.
By default, the Load Shed setting of all the AC and DC relays is set to
Enabled.

Breaker Derating
To change the breaker derating from the Advanced Settings screen:
According to NEC standards, the total current of all loads in a branch circuit
should be limited to 80% of its circuit breaker rating to ensure that a
combination of continuous and non-continuous loads can run without
tripping the circuit breaker. Freedom Sequence applies this conservative
standard in its load shedding logic. However, when all loads (continuous
and non-continuous) in a branch circuit including its own circuit breaker are
appropriately sized, listed, and rated to handle 100% of their rating,
derating the load capacity is not necessary and 100% capacity can be
utilized.
IMPORTANT:
Appliances and circuit breakers that are 100% rated will
have a listing on their product label similar to “Suitable For Use On SinglePhase ~AC circuits. For 100% Application.”
The option to disable breaker derating is available by changing the default
Enabled to Disabled in Advanced Settings.
For more information on how AC load shedding works, see “AC Load
Shedding” on page 34.

Generator Breaker Rating
The generator breaker rating can be set between 5 to 50 amps. By default,
the setting is set to 30 amps.
Generator Warmup Delay
The Freedom Sequence power manager applies a generator warmup delay
timer (GEN Warmup Delay) to allow any Xanbus-controlled generator a
chance to warmup after starting. This delay is similar to warming up a car
engine before driving.
The generator warmup delay timer, which can be modified by changing the
GEN Warmup Delay setting, is set by default to zero second. The generator
warmup delay timer value can be set between 1 to 240 seconds.
NOTE: It is recommended to set the GEN Warmup Delay value to match
either the transfer switch delay timer or the generator’s warmup delay timer
specified by the manufacturer of the device. Consult the device’s user guide
under its specifications or contact the manufacturer for information on the
timer rating. Choose a delay that is highest between these two devices.

Reconnect-delay Timer The Freedom Sequence power manager applies
a reconnect-delay timer (Connect Seq Delay) before reconnecting an AC
circuit that was previously disconnected due to a load shedding event. In
other words, the reconnect-delay timer is applied before fully connecting to
the power source again.
The reconnect-delay timer, which can be modified by changing the
Connect Seq Delay, is set by default to ten seconds. The connect
sequence delay value applies to all AC relays and can be set between 4 to

AC Disqualification Priority
Advanced Settings
The Freedom Sequence power manager is capable of detecting a compatible
inverter/charger, such as the Freedom SW 2012 or the Freedom SW 3012,
that is connected on the Xanbus network. Upon detection, it initiates
inverter/charger interactive functions. The purpose of the AC Disq
Priority is to tell the inverter/charger when a critical load circuit is
disconnected due to an overload condition. Another purpose is to request
the inverter/charger to stop drawing any current for charging or to stop
powering the connected loads through the inverter/charger’s bypass circuit
if its battery is at high battery level.
The AC Disq Priority is any number between 1 to 10. This priority
number implies that, if an AC load with a circuit Priority number that is
the same or less than the AC Disq Priority number is ever disconnected
by Freedom Sequence due to an overload condition, then an “AC disqualify
request” is sent to the inverter/charger and that request is sustained until the
same AC load circuit gets reconnected somehow. The inverter/charger can
either accept this request and disqualify its incoming AC or reject the
request and keep drawing AC current.
For more information, see “Freedom Sequence Interaction with Other
Xanbus Devices” on page 39.
By default, the factory setting is set to 2.
NOTE: This setting can only be modified when Mode is set to Standby.

Generator Soft Start
The purpose of having a generator soft start (GEN Soft Start) feature is
to allow generators to be loaded gradually after the transfer switch flips
from shore power to generator or when the generator is started. Without
engaging the GEN Soft Start feature, all the load circuits controlled by
Freedom Sequence will abruptly get connected to generator power. This
may cause the generator to experience a step load which may cause its
voltage/ frequency to dip and in turn cause nuisance tripping of sensitive
loads.

Reconnect Margin
When a load circuit connected to either Line1 or Line2 is shed by Freedom
Sequence to avoid an overload condition, Freedom Sequence stores in its
memory the current that load circuit was drawing before it got shed (that is,
Last Load Shed current).
The Freedom Sequence continuously checks for the Headroom Current
and compares it with the Current To Reconnect value for the circuit. If the
Headroom Current is more than the Current To Reconnect for a timeperiod that is more than the Connect Sequence Delay setting, Freedom
Sequence will reconnect that circuit.
Current To Reconnect is calculated based on Reconnect MGN and Last
Load Shed.
For example, if Circuit1 was set to a reconnect margin of 20% and the
Last Load Shed current in memory was 10 amps, Freedom Sequence will
wait for a Current To Reconnect of 12 amps calculated as:
Last Load Shed + (20% × Last Load Shed),
to be available before reconnecting the circuit.
By default, the factory setting of Reconnect MGN for all AC relays
is set to 10%.

Battery Voltage Triggers
The Freedom Sequence has four DC relays which can be used to connect
and disconnect DC loads on the system based on battery voltage thresholds.
Each DC relay has a N/O/N/C contact that will toggle (switch between N/O
or N/C) if the battery voltage sensed by Freedom Sequence exceeds a Batt
High Trig Set voltage or drops below the Batt Low Trig Set voltage.
The DC relay will toggle back to the normal position when the battery
voltage drops below the Batt High Trig Clear voltage or rises above
the Batt Low Trig Clear voltage. Each DC relay can be configured with
a unique set of Battery High/Low Trig Set and Battery High/Low
Trigger Clear voltages.
By default, each of these voltage triggers is configured to:
Battery Voltage Trigger Default
Low Battery Trigger Set [10.5V] [21.0V]
Low Battery Trigger Clear [11.0V] [22.0V]
High Battery Trigger Clear [14.0V] [28.0V]

Each of the triggers can be configured using similar procedures shown in

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
Auto-Detection of AC Input Source
(Shore/Gen)
The Freedom Sequence power manager can be wired to a transfer switch
that is connected to either a shore power or a generator power source. When
AC voltage is detected at the input terminal of the Freedom Sequence, the
AC source is assumed to be coming from shore power if the B+ signal is not
active. Freedom Sequence detects the B+ signal two ways: via the Xanbus
Automatic Generator Start (AGS) on the Xanbus network or through the
presence of 12 volts on the B+ signal wired to the DC auxiliary connector
port. The Freedom Sequence power manager assumes a generator power
source is On when a high B+ signal is detected from either source.
IMPORTANT:
ceiling on the current that’s coming from either input sources. The goal of
this ceiling (current clamp) is to avoid current draw in the RV from tripping
the input source’s breaker when an overload occurs within the RV's power
system. Instead, the power manager’s AC Load Shedding (see next page)
logic will determine which loads to disconnect within the power system
while staying within the current clamp value. The current clamp is always
80% of the breaker rating of the input source. For example, if the shore
breaker in an RV Camp is set to 50 amps then, the current clamp is 80% of
50, which is 40 amps. However, when BRK Derating is disabled, the
current clamp is 100% of the breaker rating. See “Breaker Derating” on
page 22.
The Freedom Sequence power manager automatically sets a
Auto-Detection of AC Input Source Type
(1-Ph/2-Ph)
The AC source connected at both Line1 and Line2 of the Freedom
Sequence power manager can be either Split phase or Single phase.
• Single phase is determined when 120 volts is measured between
Line1-to-Neutral or Line2-to-Neutral or both, and there is no phase
difference between the voltages measured.
• Split phase is determined when 240 volts is measured between
Line1and Line2 and that the voltages are found out of phase by more
than 100 degrees.
Loading of Shore/Generator Breaker Ratings
The Freedom Sequence has the ability to automatically change the breaker
settings from shore power (Shore Breaker) to generator power
(Generator Breaker) when it detects the B+ signal. At any time if the B+
signal goes low, the Freedom Sequence will instantly switch to the shore
breaker setting.

FSequence IPM Owners Guide.book Page 34 Thursday, October 6, 2011 3:33 PM
Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
AC Load Shedding
When the current draw from the main AC source increases beyond the
current clamp, Freedom Sequence power manager starts to shed (to
disconnect) AC load circuits in a priority order set by the installer. Circuits
having the lowest ranking priority gets shed first.
Freedom Sequence takes into account the Line Association of a circuit
for load shedding when it operates with a split phase AC source. It will shed
the circuit with lowest ranking priority with the group of circuits associated
to the line that is overloaded.
When it operates from a single phase supply, Freedom Sequence does not
check for line association before shedding the lowest ranking priority load
circuit.
After an overload condition is detected, Freedom Sequence waits for two
seconds to check if the overload persists before disconnecting a load circuit.
If the overload condition is corrected it will not disconnect any load circuit,
otherwise, it will shed the lower ranking priority circuit.
If disconnecting of one load circuit was not enough to correct the overload
condition, the power manager will continue to shed the next lowest priority
ranking load that is On until the overload condition is corrected.
The Freedom Sequence power manager keeps in its onboard memory the
current each load circuit was drawing before it got disconnected. This
current is displayed on the SCP as the Last Shed Current. The power
manager uses the two values, Reconnect MRGN and Last Shed Current
to determine if adequate headroom of current is available to reconnect the
load circuit. If the headroom of current was available throughout the
Connect Seq Delay period the power manager would reconnect the
circuit. However, if during this Connect Seq Delay period the available
headroom falls below the Reconnect MRGN plus Last Shed Current
then, the power manager will not reconnect the circuit.
The Freedom Sequence power manager will reconnect circuits in the order
of highest ranking load circuit in the Off setting. When operating on a splitphase AC, the power manager will reconnect specifically those load circuits
which are associated to the line that has adequate headroom.
While operation on a single-phase AC, the power manager will not check
for line associations.

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
DC Load Shedding
The Freedom Sequence continuously monitors the battery voltage and
compares it against the four voltage settings to set the trigger and clear the
trigger of a DC relay on a High Battery Voltage setpoint as well as a Low
Battery Voltage setpoint.
The Freedom Sequence power manager measures the battery voltage from
the DC power terminals of the auxiliary connector port. If Xantrex devices
exist on the Xanbus network, the power manager will use the battery
voltage reported by these devices in a preferential order by source as:
Battery monitor >> charge controller >> inverter/charger
The Trigger Set and Trigger Clear are absolute setpoints and don’t take into
account the duration for how long the battery voltage will be low before
triggering the DC relay. Each of the DC relays has a N/O and N/C contact
point which will toggle to Closed and Open positions respectively when a
DC relay is triggered.
Using DC Relay to control AC load circuits
The DC Relays can also be used to shed AC load circuits if a DC Relay is
used to control the external AC Relay. This can be done by going to the DC
Relay configuration menu and selecting its association to Line1.
When the association is changed to Line1, all the configuration fields for
the DC relay will change to those found for the AC relay, allowing to define
Priority, Reconnect MRGN, Gen Soft-Start option, et cetera.
The Freedom Sequence does not have a current sensor to allow continuous
monitoring of the current draw by the load circuit that this DC relay
controls and therefore, it will show as N/A on the SCP.
However, the Freedom Sequence automatically calculates the decrease in
current achieved by disconnecting the AC load circuit that is indirectly
controlled through this DC relay and shows it as Last-Load Shed current.

Priority Swapping Between Circuits
Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
The Freedom Sequence power manager allows the user to change the
prioritization of the AC load circuits. A typical instance would be when an
RV is used in a warm climate, the air conditioner would have a higher
priority than the space heater or engine block heater. Conversely, in cold
climates, the space heater or engine block heater needs to have priority over
the air conditioner. The power manager allows changing priority of an AC
load circuit through the Config screen of the SCP (“Circuit Priority” on
page 17) or through the Circuit Level Advanced Settings screen (“Priority”
on page 31). The power manager adjusts the priority settings for the rest of
the circuits automatically based on the new priority number that was
assigned to an AC load circuit.
For example (see illustration), if the priority of Engine Block Heater is
changed from 4 to 1, the power manager will assign the Engine Block
Heater its new priority rank of 1 and automatically swap and adjust priority
settings for the rest of the circuits.
IMPORTANT:
When reprogramming default circuit priority settings,
always consult a professional installer from your RV dealership.

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
Override the AC Circuit Load Shedding
The Freedom Sequence power manager provides a feature to override the
load shed priority (Load Shed setting) for an AC load circuit that was
disconnected by either an AC relay or a DC relay. This allows the user the
flexibility to force an AC load to turn On for just a few minutes without the
need to change the priority order of all AC load circuits. When an AC load
circuit’s Load Shed setting is Disabled, the power manager will skip this
circuit from the load shed sequence and treat it as a non-controlled AC load
on the system.
IMPORTANT:
always consult a professional installer from your RV dealership.
When reprogramming default circuit priority settings,

Freedom Sequence Interaction with Other Xanbus Devices
Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
Battery Voltage Measurement
The Freedom Sequence power manager measures the battery voltage from
the DC power terminals of the auxiliary connector port. If Xantrex devices
exist on the Xanbus network, the power manager will use the battery
voltage reported by these devices in a preferential order by source as:
Battery monitor >> charge controller >> inverter/charger
Generator Run Detection B+ Signal
Freedom Sequence detects the B+ signal via the presence of a Xanbus AGS
on the Xanbus network or through the presence of +12V on B+ signal wired
to the auxiliary connector port. If the B+ signal from either source is
detected to be high, the Freedom Sequence assumes the generator is On.
Freedom SW Interactive Charger De-rating (ICD)
The use of Freedom Sequence on an RV along with Freedom SW 3012 or
Freedom SW 2012 inverter/charger can further optimize the usage of
available power. An inverter/charger draws current from the AC source
only when it is in a non-inverting mode (that is, bypass only or charging
with bypass mode). The inverter/charger is usually connected directly to a
distribution panel and therefore Freedom Sequence cannot have any direct
control over the current drawn by charger or bypass loads. However, if the
inverter/charger is a Xanbus-enabled device and is programmed to support
Freedom Sequence, then the current draw by the charger can be regulated to
assist in optimizing the use of available power.
For example, in a typical operating case, Freedom Sequence continually
monitors the current usage of the AC source. The difference between
current clamp settings and current draw from the AC source is defined as
the headroom current or “available capacity”. Freedom Sequence
continually broadcasts this information on the Xanbus network. It is
possible to reduce the AC current used for charging batteries to a level that
allows other loads with intermittent current needs to operate. As the charger
continuously listens to the available capacity reported by Freedom
Sequence and controls its current draw for charging, the available capacity
remains minimum but never negative. The charger will discard derating
charger current if the battery is in a state of equalizing.
Freedom SW AC Disqualify On Request (ACDR)
ACDR is a feature that allows Freedom Sequence to send a message to the
inverter/charger to stop drawing current in bypass and charger mode. And if
the inverter mode is enabled, then the loads connected to the inverter will be
powered from the inverter/charger’s connected battery. The purpose of
ACDR is to reduce current draw from the input AC source and instead use
stored energy from the battery.
