Frequently Asked Questions
What is the surge capacity of the Xantrex Freedom X 2000?
The Xantrex Freedom X 2000 provides an extended surge rating of 2X continuous power for 2 seconds, allowing it to effectively start demanding loads such as refrigerators, microwaves, and power tools.
Can the Xantrex Freedom X 2000 power sensitive electronics?
Yes, the Freedom X 2000 produces a true sine wave output, which is the same clean power found in your home's electrical system. This ensures that sensitive electronics, including navigation equipment, computers, and audio-visual devices, will operate correctly and without damage.
Does the Xantrex Freedom X 2000 have a built-in transfer switch?
Yes, the Xantrex Freedom X 2000 features a built-in 30A AC transfer relay. This allows for an automatic and seamless switch between incoming shore power and the inverter's output, eliminating the need for a separate transfer switch.
What is the operating temperature range for the Xantrex Freedom X 2000?
The inverter is designed to operate reliably within a wide temperature range of -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C), ensuring performance in various marine and climate conditions.
How does the ignition control feature work on the Xantrex Freedom X 2000?
The ignition control feature allows the inverter to be turned on or off via a switch connected to the vessel's ignition system. This prevents the inverter from running and draining the batteries when the main engine is not in operation, conserving battery power.
