INVERTER SET UP
IDLE MODE: The default value is 4 Watts. This means it takes a 4 Watt AC load
to turn the inverter ON from its low power idle mode. Setting a value of 0 Watts means
the inverter is always ON. The low idle current is about 0.12 Amps. When idle mode is
set to 0W the current consumption goes up to about 0.3 Amps. Range = 0W, 4W, 6W, 15W.
SET UP EXAMPLE: To set the IDLE MODE to 0 Watts; first select the INVERT
ON, then press the SET UP BUTTON until the green LED begins to flash. Release the
SET UP BUTTON and press and hold the IDLE MODE BUTTON. The present value
will appear. The display will scroll after 3 seconds. Hold the button down until 0 appears.
Release the button. The new value will remain in the display for about 5 seconds. When
the display reverts to the normal monitoring function, the new value is stored in non-volatile
memory. To see if the new value has been successfully stored, repeat the set up procedure
but do not scroll to a new value.
PWR SHARE: The default value is 30Amps (or OFF for Freedom 25). The
power sharing feature automatically reduces the charger output, and therefore the AC
power consumption, if the load passing through the inverter's automatic transfer switch
exceeds the set up value. This load management feature helps prevent AC supply break-
ers from tripping when boats or RVs are plugged into AC power and the charger, water
heater, and perhaps other loads all come on at once. In "Off Grid" applications the auxil-
iary generator often has several jobs; water pumping, running the washing machine, or
heavy power tools, in addition to supplemental battery charging. With Power Sharing,
when a heavy load turns on, it reduces charger output to help supply the heavy load. The
ranges below are for units with serial #'s greater than 100,000:
Freedom 10, 15, & 20 Range = 5, 15, 20, 30A; Freedom 25 Range = 5, 20, 30A, OFF
Freedom 10E & 20E Range = 2.5, 5, 10, 15A; Freedom 25E Range = 2.5, 10, 15A, OFF
For Freedom serial numbers below 100,000 use this table to interpret the display.

ANOTHER SET UP EXAMPLE: To set PWR SHARE to 20 Amps on a F10
Model with a serial number below 100,000; First select the CHARGE on, then press the
SET UP BUTTON until the green LED begins to flash. Release the SET UP BUTTON.
Now, press and hold, the PWR SHARE BUTTON. The present value will appear. The
display will scroll after 3 seconds. Hold the button down until 1 appears. (See table above.)
Release the button. The new value will remain in the display for about 5 seconds. When
the display reverts to the normal monitoring function the new value is stored in non-volatile
memory.
