4. დაყენება და ინსტალაცია

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your inverter/charger. Refer to the detailed wiring diagrams in the full installation guide for specific connections.

4.1 დანადგარის დამონტაჟება

The Xantrex Freedom SW3012 has dimensions of approximately 7.75 inches (H) x 13.5 inches (W) x 15.25 inches (L) and weighs 73.7 lbs. Choose a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location. Ensure the mounting surface can support the unit's weight and that there is adequate clearance for air circulation around the vents.

4.2 DC გაყვანილობა

Connect the inverter/charger to your 12V battery bank using appropriately sized cables. The unit is compatible with LiFePO4, Flooded, Gel, and AGM battery types. Ensure all DC connections are tight and secure to prevent voltagვარდნა და გადახურება.

4.3 AC გაყვანილობა

The unit supports split phase in/dual out or dual in/dual out AC connections. Connect the incoming AC power (shore power or generator) to the AC input terminals and your AC loads to the AC output terminals. All AC wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes.

4.4 ბატარეის ტემპერატურის სენსორი

Connect the included battery temperature sensor to the designated port on the inverter/charger and attach the sensor to the battery bank. This allows for temperature-compensated charging, optimizing battery life and performance across a wide operating temperature range of -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C).

5. საოპერაციო ინსტრუქციები

The Freedom SW3012 operates in two primary modes: Inverter Mode and Charger Mode, with an automatic transfer switch managing the transition between them.

5.1 ინვერტორული რეჟიმი

When no external AC power is present, the unit converts 12V DC power from your battery bank into 120V AC true sine wave power to supply your connected loads. The continuous output power is 3000 W at 40°C.

5.2 Charger Mode

When external AC power (shore power or generator) is connected, the unit automatically switches to charger mode, converting incoming AC power to DC to recharge your battery bank. The charger is capable of charging batteries drained to extremely low voltagეს.

5.3 ავტომატური გადაცემის გადამრთველი

The built-in transfer switch automatically detects the presence of incoming AC power. If external AC power is lost, the unit transfers loads to inverter power in less than 10 milliseconds, ensuring a virtually uninterrupted power supply to sensitive electronics.

6. მოვლა

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Xantrex Freedom SW3012 Inverter/Charger.

• დასუფთავება: Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• კავშირები: Annually inspect all DC and AC connections for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
• ბატარეის შემოწმება: Regularly check your battery bank for proper fluid levels (if applicable), corrosion, and overall condition.
• ვენტილაცია: Ensure the area around the inverter/charger remains clear and well-ventilated.
• გრძელვადიანი შენახვა: For long-term storage, it is recommended to disconnect the battery leads or install a battery disconnect switch to completely power down the unit and prevent parasitic draw.

7. Დიაგნოსტიკა

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your inverter/charger. For complex problems, contact Xantrex technical support.

7.1 No AC Output in Inverter Mode

• Check DC Input: Ensure the battery bank is adequately charged and all DC connections are secure. Low battery voltage will cause the inverter to shut down.
• გადატვირთვა: Disconnect some AC loads to see if the inverter resumes operation. The unit may have shut down due to an overload.
• გადაჭარბებული ტემპერატურა: Check if the unit is hot. Ensure proper ventilation and allow it to cool down.

7.2 Batteries Not Charging

• AC შეყვანა: Verify that the incoming AC power source (shore power/generator) is active and properly connected to the inverter/charger. Check AC breakers.
• AC Input Recognition: Ensure the inverter/charger recognizes the incoming AC power. If the unit does not detect a 'validated' power source, it will not initiate charging. Consult the full manual for specific AC input requirements and troubleshooting steps for this condition.
• ბატარეის კავშირი: Confirm all battery connections are secure and free of corrosion.
• ბატარეის ტემპერატურის სენსორი: Ensure the battery temperature sensor is correctly installed and functioning. A faulty sensor can affect charging.

7.3 მოწყობილობა არ ირთვება

• დენის სიმძლავრე: Check the main DC fuse or breaker between the battery bank and the inverter/charger. Ensure the battery bank has sufficient voltage.
• მართვის პანელი: If using a remote control panel, ensure it is properly connected and functioning.
