Troubleshooting
Fluorescent Lights and Power Supplies Some devices
cannot be detected when scanned by search mode circuitry.
Small fluorescent lights are the most common example. Some
computers and sophisticated electronics have power supplies
that do not present a load until line voltage is available. When
this occurs, each unit waits for the other to begin. To drive
these loads, either a small companion load like a light bulb
rated for more than the Search Watts setting must be used
to bring the inverter out of search mode, or the inverter may
be programmed to remain on by disabling Search mode. (See
“Using Search Mode” on page 45.)
Clocks You may notice that your clocks are not accurate.
Some of the clocks on your appliances may reset when the
Freedom SW is in search mode.
Searching When the inverter is in search mode, it may fail
to start some loads even though the rated wattage on the load
is more than the Search Watts setting. Disable Search or
apply an additional load (companion load) to make the
inverter exit search mode.
