During installation of the Freedom Remote, the Freedom
Inverter/Charger
may have power applied to it. If using a 458 Series, the AUXILIARY
SWITCH (jumper) on the inverter must be in the Off position. Refer to the
owners manual for position details. The Freedom Remote may be
mounted up to 50 feet from the Freedom Inverter/Charger. Cut a hole in
an appropriate location using the mounting template supplied. Route the
data cable from the remote to the inverter. Routing the data cable away
from AC and DC wires will minimize the potential for interference. Plug
the data cable into the Freedom Remote and the Freedom Inverter/
Charger. Secure the Remote Control Panel using the supplied screws.
