40 Freedom SW Owner’s Guide
Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP
When to set up Search mode The search mode feature is only
valuable if the inverter can spend a fair amount of time “sleeping”
each day. Therefore, if search mode is to be used it must be adjusted
properly. The initial adjustment should be made so that the inverter
comes on only when needed.
Certain types of loads can cause search mode to work unexpectedly.
These types of loads are described in “Inverter Applications” on
page 70. If these kinds of loads are in the system, follow the
suggestions given to eliminate the problem.
If the problem loads cannot be eliminated, there are two work-
around solutions:
1. Disable search mode from the main Freedom SW Setup menu,
causing the inverter to always remain at full output voltage.
2. Use a search-friendly companion load whose only purpose is to
be switched on to wake up the inverter to power the load that is
unable to bring the inverter out of search mode.
NOTES:
Search mode, by function, cannot work with clocks and timers or
devices that need power 24 hours a day. Examples of devices with
timers include video recorders, coffee makers with brew timers,
refrigerators, and freezers with defrost timers. Examples of devices
that need power 24 hours a day include telephone answering
machines, alarm systems, motion detection lights, and some
thermostats.
When the inverter is searching the output for loads, lights that have a
wattage lower than this setting may flash momentarily.
