What is Behind the Panel?
(You may not want to see…It is scary!!!)

If you ever decide to have a peek behind the panel, there are several stud/nut connections in there and ones on the Firefly control module. Check that they are all tight. We strongly recommend you shoot a bunch of pictures of the mess for future reference. SHOOT A LOT OF PICTURES of all your wiring connections. It helped locate the cause of our electrical fire.

Xantrex Freedom X
– Operation & Control Panel

Battery Power

To turn on the panel, press the round (ON) button.
The main screen will display a BATTERY icon and a LOAD (light bulb) icon.
After a short period of time, the display will show arrows indicating to current flow from battery to load.
Use second button ( ^ ) to scroll through the display screens.
1 – Main screen shows battery voltage and load wattage
2 – AC voltage and frequency
3 – Firmware revision information
4 – Remote firmware information

Shore Power

When plugged into shore power the AC power icon will be flashing. Once the AC is verified, the diagram will show the AC current going through the transfer switch to the load and to recharge the battery.
1 – Main screen displays battery voltage and charger stage
2 – Battery voltage and battery amperage
3 – AC amperage input and AC amperage output to the load
4 – AC voltage and Frequency

Pairing with Bluetooth

If your display panel has “Bluetooth” written on it, you can use a phone or tablet to interface with the Xantrex.
– Load the Xantrex app on your device and turn on Bluetooth setting.
– Press and hold the top button (ESC) 5 seconds until you see two flashing bars on the display.
– Open the Xantrex app on your tablet or phone
– Select Bluetooth on the app and select pair.
– Select the inverter serial number when displayed.
– The app should now display the Xantrex power flow diagram

Green graphics shows what products are currently activated, white is inactive

Go Power Solar Charge Controller
– Operation & Controls

When powering on, the unit will enter power up mode.  All LEDs and screen icons will be on for a few seconds and then will display battery and solar information and the LED lights below the screen will light up

Scroll thru the display by pressing the top (AMP/VOLT) button to display battery voltage, charging current, and the daily amp-hours.

LED lights on the left side indicate the battery charge level. A flashing bar on the LCD screen also indicates charging levels.  A Battery and Solar Panel icon on the screen indicates proper charging connections.

The red LED indicates a charge is coming in from the solar panel to the battery.  Depending on the charging state, it could be on solid or flashing.

A blue indicator LED is on when charging and indicates a soft charge state when flashing.  When the blue LED is off, the battery is fully charged.  When the solar panels are not receiving sufficient sunlight to charge the battery, the red light will flash.

Error Codes:
b01 – Battery less than 3.0 volts
b02 – Battery reverse connected
b03 – Battery over 17.5 volts
b04 – Battery temperature over 150 degrees F

TIP#229: Solar Off When Driving – You may want to turn solar panels off when driving. The solar panels increase the voltage detected at the house battery, making the auxiliary alternator controller believe the battery is more fully charged than it actually is. Because of the higher voltage detected, the controller reduces the alternator’s output current, slowing the charging of the battery and may prevent the battery from receiving a full charge.

Truma Combi Controller
– Operation & Controls

Having control panel with basically only a single knob can be a bit baffling at first. If you take it one step at a time it isn’t so bad. (If you have a newer firefly system, you can control it from there).

Press the round button to turn on the controller and display the home screen.
Top row icons are HEATING (van), HOT WATER (thermometer), POWER SOURCE (bottle & lightning bolts) and FAN (fan).

Turn knob to the icon representing the desired function and press to select.

Heater

To turn the heater, select the van icon and press the knob. Turn to the desired temperature and press again.  Next select the power source, GAS, EL1, EL2 or MIX. (Shore power is recommended when using EL1, EL2, or MIX).
Lastly, select fan, either: ECO or HIGH.

HOT Water
ECO (slow), HOT (30 minutes), BOOST (20 minutes) 10 liters of water

Common ERROR Codes:
0024, 044, 0080, 0170, 0411, 0418 – Low Voltage
0122, 0212, 0408, 0507, 0517 – Propane Gas Supply Problem
