accessible via the SCP.
Sequential engaging of AC loads for generator soft-start that
eliminates heavy inrush demand.
Seamless integration with Freedom SW Inverter/Chargers to provide
charger derating, automatic inverter assist, and auto-detect generator
run conditions and reset breaker rating from Shore to Generator
breaker rating.
2.External AC circuits are AC loads that are not directly controlled through the Freedom Se-
quence’s available six (or four) AC relays.
1.The installer should have knowledge and experience in installing electrical equipment, knowl-
edge of the applicable installation codes, and awareness of the hazards involved in performing elec-
trical work and how to reduce those hazards. A qualified technician or electrician has this
knowledge and experience.
3.Load shedding is defined as cutting power to loads that are drawing current from the system in
order to avoid an overload condition.
4.Priority swapping is defined as the automatic prioritization of loads when one load has been as-
signed a different priority number.

Introduction
Xanbus System
The Xanbus system includes the Freedom SW Series Inverter/Charger and
other Xanbus-enabled devices. The inverter/charger is the device in a
Xanbus system that typically provides network power—500 mA at 12 volts
DC. When Freedom Sequence is present in the network, it can also provide
the power for the whole Xanbus network. All of the Xanbus-enabled
devices, such as Freedom Sequence, the SCP, and the AGS are able to
communicate their settings and activity to each other. See Figure 1.
The Xanbus-enabled designation (see below) means that this product works
on a Xanbus network. Xanbus-enabled products are:
•
•
•
•
Simple to operate and routine tasks are automated,
Controlled by software that eliminates analog signalling errors,
Less susceptible to interference and line loss, and
Upgradable through new software releases.

Freedom Sequence can automatically detect if the AC input source passing
through it is a split-phase or single-phase. The current limits are applied on
Line1 and Line2 circuits accordingly. For example, if the AC input source is
a 30-amp split-phase AC line, Freedom Sequence will apply a current limit
of 30 amps for each circuit. Line1 will have a 30-amp limit and Line2 as

Each AC relay of the power manager that is configured to control an AC
load circuit is assigned a priority number. The power manager uses this
priority number in a ranking order to control the load shed order or load
disconnect order in the event that an AC load demand exceeds the shore or
information. A priority of “1” is equivalent to the highest priority, therefore,
it is the last to be shed in an overload condition. Conversely, a priority of
“10” is the lowest priority and the first to be shed.

FSPM 00: Config
Load circuits controlled by AC-only relays can be forced to remain ON and
exempt themselves from the load shedding logic of the Freedom Sequence
power manager. This exemption technique is useful when you want to keep
one or two loads running at the expense of other loads in the system that
remain subject to the load shedding logic. If the Load Shedsetting is
Disabled, this can be interpreted as rendering the load circuit “invisible”
from the power system. Thus, the power manager cannot apply the load
shedding logic to this circuit but can still apply to the other loads “visible”
to the power manager. Therefore, the user should be careful to change this
setting back to Enabledsince this is not done automatically.

IMPROPER CONFIGURATION DUE TO LACK OF EXPERIENCE
Always consult a certified and experienced installer from your RV
dealership when changing settings, such as the ones found in Advanced
Settings. Changes in your power manager’s settings can affect the power
management of your controlled appliances. A professional installer at
your dealership possesses the experience and training in programming
advanced settings in Freedom Sequence.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.

To change the breaker derating from the Advanced Settings screen:
Breaker Derating
According to NEC standards, the total current of all loads in a branch circuit
should be limited to 80% of its circuit breaker rating to ensure that a
combination of continuous and non-continuous loads can run without
tripping the circuit breaker. Freedom Sequence applies this conservative
standard in its load shedding logic. However, when all loads (continuous
and non-continuous) in a branch circuit including its own circuit breaker are
appropriately sized, listed, and rated to handle 100% of their rating,
derating the load capacity is not necessary and 100% capacity can be
utilized.

inverter/charger, such as the Freedom SW 2012 or the Freedom SW 3012,
that is connected on the Xanbus network. Upon detection, it initiates
inverter/charger interactive functions. The purpose of the AC Disq
Priorityis to tell the inverter/charger when a critical load circuit is
disconnected due to an overload condition. Another purpose is to request
the inverter/charger to stop drawing any current for charging or to stop
powering the connected loads through the inverter/charger’s bypass circuit
if its battery is at high battery level.

The AC Disq Priorityis any number between 1 to 10. This priority
number implies that, if an AC load with a circuit Prioritynumber that is
the same or less than the AC Disq Prioritynumber is ever disconnected
by Freedom Sequence due to an overload condition, then an “AC disqualify
request” is sent to the inverter/charger and that request is sustained until the
same AC load circuit gets reconnected somehow. The inverter/charger can
either accept this request and disqualify its incoming AC or reject the
request and keep drawing AC current.

AC voltage is detected at the input terminal of the Freedom Sequence, the
AC source is assumed to be coming from shore power if the B+ signal is not
active. Freedom Sequence detects the B+ signal two ways: via the Xanbus
Automatic Generator Start (AGS) on the Xanbus network or through the
presence of 12 volts on the B+ signal wired to the DC auxiliary connector
port. The Freedom Sequence power manager assumes a generator power
source is On when a high B+ signal is detected from either source.

•
Single phase is determined when 120 volts is measured between
Line1-to-Neutral or Line2-to-Neutral or both, and there is no phase
difference between the voltages measured.
Split phase is determined when 240 volts is measured between
Line1and Line2 and that the voltages are found out of phase by more
than 100 degrees.
Loading of Shore/Generator Breaker Ratings
IMPORTANT: The Freedom Sequence power manager automatically sets a
ceiling on the current that’s coming from either input sources. The goal of
this ceiling (current clamp) is to avoid current draw in the RV from tripping
the input source’s breaker when an overload occurs within the RV's power
system. Instead, the power manager’s AC Load Shedding (see next page)
logic will determine which loads to disconnect within the power system
while staying within the current clamp value. The current clamp is always
80% of the breaker rating of the input source. For example, if the shore
breaker in an RV Camp is set to 50 amps then, the current clamp is 80% of
50, which is 40 amps. However, when BRK Deratingis disabled, the
current clamp is 100% of the breaker rating. See “Breaker Derating” on
The Freedom Sequence has the ability to automatically change the breaker
settings from shore power (Shore Breaker) to generator power
(Generator Breaker) when it detects the B+ signal. At any time if the B+
signal goes low, the Freedom Sequence will instantly switch to the shore
breaker setting.

to the line that is overloaded.
While operation on a single-phase AC, the power manager will not check
for line associations.
When it operates from a single phase supply, Freedom Sequence does not
check for line association before shedding the lowest ranking priority load
circuit.
See the illustration on the next page.
After an overload condition is detected, Freedom Sequence waits for two
seconds to check if the overload persists before disconnecting a load circuit.
If the overload condition is corrected it will not disconnect any load circuit,
otherwise, it will shed the lower ranking priority circuit.
If disconnecting of one load circuit was not enough to correct the overload
condition, the power manager will continue to shed the next lowest priority
ranking load that is On until the overload condition is corrected.
The Freedom Sequence power manager keeps in its onboard memory the
current each load circuit was drawing before it got disconnected. This
current is displayed on the SCP as the Last Shed Current. The power
manager uses the two values, Reconnect MRGN and Last Shed Current
to determine if adequate headroom of current is available to reconnect the
load circuit. If the headroom of current was available throughout the
Connect Seq Delayperiod the power manager would reconnect the

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
DC Load Shedding
Using DC Relay to control AC load circuits
The Freedom Sequence continuously monitors the battery voltage and
compares it against the four voltage settings to set the trigger and clear the
trigger of a DC relay on a High Battery Voltage setpoint as well as a Low
Battery Voltage setpoint.
The DC Relays can also be used to shed AC load circuits if a DC Relay is
used to control the external AC Relay. This can be done by going to the DC
Relay configuration menu and selecting its association to Line1.
When the association is changed to Line1, all the configuration fields for

exist on the Xanbus network, the power manager will use the battery
voltage reported by these devices in a preferential order by source as:
The Freedom Sequence does not have a current sensor to allow continuous
monitoring of the current draw by the load circuit that this DC relay
controls and therefore, it will show as N/Aon the SCP.
Battery monitor >> charge controller >> inverter/charger
However, the Freedom Sequence automatically calculates the decrease in
current achieved by disconnecting the AC load circuit that is indirectly
controlled through this DC relay and shows it as Last-Load Shedcurrent.
The Trigger Set and Trigger Clear are absolute setpoints and don’t take into
account the duration for how long the battery voltage will be low before
triggering the DC relay. Each of the DC relays has a N/O and N/C contact
point which will toggle to Closed and Open positions respectively when a
DC relay is triggered.

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
Priority Swapping Between Circuits
The Freedom Sequence power manager allows the user to change the
prioritization of the AC load circuits. A typical instance would be when an
RV is used in a warm climate, the air conditioner would have a higher
priority than the space heater or engine block heater. Conversely, in cold
climates, the space heater or engine block heater needs to have priority over
the air conditioner. The power manager allows changing priority of an AC
load circuit through the Configscreen of the SCP (“Circuit Priority” on
page 17) or through the Circuit Level Advanced Settings screen (“Priority”
on page 31). The power manager adjusts the priority settings for the rest of
the circuits automatically based on the new priority number that was
assigned to an AC load circuit.

TO
For example (see illustration), if the priority of Engine Block Heater is
changed from 4 to 1, the power manager will assign the Engine Block
Heater its new priority rank of 1 and automatically swap and adjust priority
settings for the rest of the circuits.
IMPORTANT: When reprogramming default circuit priority settings,
always consult a professional installer from your RV dealership.

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
Override the AC Circuit Load Shedding
The Freedom Sequence power manager provides a feature to override the
load shed priority (Load Shedsetting) for an AC load circuit that was
disconnected by either an AC relay or a DC relay. This allows the user the
flexibility to force an AC load to turn On for just a few minutes without the
need to change the priority order of all AC load circuits. When an AC load
circuit’s Load Shedsetting is Disabled, the power manager will skip this
circuit from the load shed sequence and treat it as a non-controlled AC load
on the system.
IMPORTANT: When reprogramming default circuit priority settings,
always consult a professional installer from your RV dealership.

Freedom Sequence Operational Concepts
Freedom Sequence Interaction with Other Xanbus Devices
inverter/charger is a Xanbus-enabled device and is programmed to support
Freedom Sequence, then the current draw by the charger can be regulated to
assist in optimizing the use of available power.
Battery Voltage Measurement
The Freedom Sequence power manager measures the battery voltage from
the DC power terminals of the auxiliary connector port. If Xantrex devices
exist on the Xanbus network, the power manager will use the battery
voltage reported by these devices in a preferential order by source as:
For example, in a typical operating case, Freedom Sequence continually
monitors the current usage of the AC source. The difference between
current clamp settings and current draw from the AC source is defined as
the headroom current or “available capacity”. Freedom Sequence
continually broadcasts this information on the Xanbus network. It is
possible to reduce the AC current used for charging batteries to a level that
allows other loads with intermittent current needs to operate. As the charger
continuously listens to the available capacity reported by Freedom
Sequence and controls its current draw for charging, the available capacity
remains minimum but never negative. The charger will discard derating
charger current if the battery is in a state of equalizing.
Battery monitor >> charge controller >> inverter/charger
Generator Run Detection B+ Signal
Freedom Sequence detects the B+ signal via the presence of a Xanbus AGS
on the Xanbus network or through the presence of +12V on B+ signal wired
to the auxiliary connector port. If the B+ signal from either source is
detected to be high, the Freedom Sequence assumes the generator is On.
Freedom SW AC Disqualify On Request (ACDR)
Freedom SW Interactive Charger De-rating (ICD)
ACDR is a feature that allows Freedom Sequence to send a message to the
inverter/charger to stop drawing current in bypass and charger mode. And if
the inverter mode is enabled, then the loads connected to the inverter will be
powered from the inverter/charger’s connected battery. The purpose of
ACDR is to reduce current draw from the input AC source and instead use
stored energy from the battery.
The use of Freedom Sequence on an RV along with Freedom SW 3012 or
Freedom SW 2012 inverter/charger can further optimize the usage of
available power. An inverter/charger draws current from the AC source
only when it is in a non-inverting mode (that is, bypass only or charging
with bypass mode). The inverter/charger is usually connected directly to a
distribution panel and therefore Freedom Sequence cannot have any direct
control over the current drawn by charger or bypass loads. However, if the
