2 Freedom HF Owner’s Guide
Introduction
Key Features
Power for Most Appliances The Freedom HF inverter/charger provides
up to 1000 watts (Models
1
Freedom HF 1000, Freedom HF 1055, and
Freedom HF 1055 EMS) or up to 1800 watts (Models
2
Freedom HF 1800,
Freedom HF 1800 T, and Freedom HF 1800 EMS) of continuous modified
sine wave power derived from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads
such as microwave ovens, TVs, VCRs, and mid-sized power tools. In
addition, the Freedom HF’s high-surge capability lets you handle many
hard-to-start loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.
The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter power
and shore power from recreational facilities such as boat docks or campsites
to ensure power is always available. The built-in charger also automatically
charges the battery bank when the Freedom HF is connected to shore
power.
Comprehensive Protection The Freedom HF’s built-in protection
features safeguard your batteries and equipment, such as:
• The low battery voltage alarm and shutdown prevents your
batteries from becoming completely discharged,
• the three-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive
efficient charge, and
• automatic switching between inverter power to pass-through
shore power.
Back-up Capability If incoming shore power is interrupted by external
events like brownouts, the Freedom HF automatically becomes an
independent power source
3
that supplies quality AC to your loads.
Overload Alarm and Shutdown During inverter mode, the Freedom HF
automatically alerts you if the loads that are connected and drawing power
from the unit are close to approaching the maximum operating limit. If so,
the Freedom HF automatically shuts down when the maximum operating
limit is exceeded.
