1. The last Freedom SW 230V ready to exit absorption triggers all Freedom SW 230Vs to exit absorption and exit charge Bulk Stage Bulk charge is the first stage in the charging process and provides the batteries with a controlled constant current Once the battery voltage rises to the absorption voltage threshold the charger switches to the absorption stage 975 0696 01 01 Battery Charging Reference Absorption Stage During the absorption stage the Freedom SW 230V begins operating in constant voltage mode and the current falls gradually as the amp hours are returned to the battery By default the bulk and absorption voltage settings are the same for all battery types The voltage limit settings for bulk and absorption can be adjusted independently if the battery type is set to Custom Once the Freedom SW 230V reaches the Bulk Absorption after the first 60 minutes Voltage setting the Freedom SW 230V will operate in constant voltage mode providing only the necessary current to maintain the voltage setting As the amp hours are returned to the battery the current required to maintain the voltage setting falls gradually The Freedom SW 230V transitions to the float stage if either one of the following two conditions are met 1 charge current allowed by the batteries falls below the exit current threshold which is equal to 2 of the programmed battery capacity for a 500 amp hour battery bank this would be 10 amps

Description 1 Breaker Sets the ACIn Shore breaker size based on the size of the breaker installed on ACIn The installed breaker size must not exceed the capacity of the upstream distribution panel The Freedom SW 230V limits the maximum input current to this setting by derating its charging current to an equivalent of 8096 of the AC breaker size If the connected loads exceed the ACIn breaker setting the AC breaker trips fiCIn Lo Volt Minimum acceptable input voltage level from the utility mains NOTE It is recommended to leave this setting to its default value and not to set it to the maximum allowed Doing so might inadvertently derate charging power in jurisdictions where the nominal AC mains voltage or generator output is at 220 volts ACIn Hi Volt Maximum acceptable input voltage level from the utility mains ACIn Lo Freq Minimum acceptable utility mains input frequency ACIn Hi Freq Maximum acceptable utility mains input frequency Freedom SW 230V Owner s Guide Generator Support GEN Support is basically generator support for the Freedom SW that allows power to be automatically drawn from the batteries to assist an AC generator to support heavy loads i e loads that exceed the available current from the generator Generators have a limited output current and it is possible to reach this limit when operating heavy loads The Freedom SW 230V is designed to assist the generator
