NOTE: For error conditions not shown above, disconnect Freedom Remote Control Panel for 30 seconds, verify that phone
cable is plugged in at remote and inverter/charger and verify that batteries are above 10 VDC. If condition presists, disconnect
incoming AC power from inverter/charger and remove positive battery lead for 30 seconds.
LED Indication Fault LED Error Detected Possible Solution
OVERTEMP On OFF Over-temperature shutdown. Increase air circulation and allow to cool.
BATTERY STATE ON Low Battery Shutdown. Charge batteries.
Empty blinking (too low to continue inverting)
BATTERY STATE ON Battery Overload. Select lowest Power Share setting. Turn off
Empty On (excessive ripple voltage during charge) DC Loads. Restart Charger.
15.5 VDC blinking ON High battery shutdown. Check other charging sources connected to

INVERT blinking ON Inverter overload Reduce AC load on inverter. Reset by pressing
(too much AC load on inverter). INVERT Off and On.

(Battery voltage too low to charge). Restart charger.
Setup Mode
Enter the SETUP mode by pressing and holding SETUP for five
seconds until the LED blinks. The Freedom Remote is connected to a
458 Series if at least one DC VOLTS LED is On. After five seconds of
no activity, the Freedom Remote automatically exits from the SETUP
mode. Use the Freedom Remote buttons SET AHRS SET IDLE or
SET TYPE to select SETUP features. Refer to the following template.
OPERATING TIP: Battery type and Battery Capacity are the most
critical setup settings.
Battery Capacity (Amp-hours)
Applies only to 458 Series
Using CHARGE, set the amp-hour rating of the battery bank. This
information is used to determine the charge parameters for the battery.
Default setting varies. 1000 W: 200 amp hours
(458 Series Only) 15002000 W: 400 amp hours
25003000 W: 600 amp hours
Idle Load (Watts)
Changing this setting is not normally recommended.
Using INVERT, select Idle setting. If present inverter loads are less than
the selected value, the inverter will remain in Idle Mode. Idle mode
prevents unnecessary power drain on the battery when no AC loads are
in use. When an AC load is turned On and the load draw exceeds the
idle value, the unit begins full power inverting. When the appliance is
turned Off, the inverter returns automatically to Idle mode. A setting of 0
disables Idle Mode.
Default: Freedom: 4 watts, 458 Series: 5 watts.
