36 Freedom SW Owner’s Guide
Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP
Equalization Procedure
To start equalizing the batteries, do one of the following:
• Apply AC voltage and ensure that the inverter/charger transfers AC
and starts charging.
• On the Xanbus Setup menu, highlight Equalize and select Enable.
The unit will proceed and execute a complete bulk and absorption
charge before transitioning to equalize.
IMPORTANT: The inverter/charger will not perform equalization if AC
is not present, the charger is disabled, or the selected battery type does
not support equalization. If any of these cases happen, a warning is
issued
If the Freedom SW will not perform the equalization, see“Warning Types
and Behavior” on page 69.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Only flooded or vented batteries should be equalize charged. Hydrogen
and oxygen gases are produced when batteries are equalize charged.
Provide adequate ventilation and remove all sources of ignition to prevent
explosion.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
IMPORTANT:
In a system where more than one device is capable of
equalizing batteries (such as multiple Freedom SWs), there is no system-
wide equalization command for all devices. To equalize with multiple
devices, each would have to be enabled individually. Alternatively,
equalization can be performed using only one device. During the
equalization process, one device applies the equalization charge while the
other devices continue to operate in synchronized charge mode, typically in
float (three-stage charging) or no-float (two-stage charging).
