Operating in Shore Power Mode
Operating in Inverter Mode
The Freedom HF is in inverter mode when shore power is not presently
available and the unit is using the battery (by inverting DC to AC) to power
the appliances connected to the Freedom HF.
The Yellow status LED lights up to indicate the Freedom HF is using the
battery to power the appliances.
The table on the next page illustrates the battery status during inverter mode
as shown on the display panel.
Inverter Mode Setting is ON (“Standby”)
When the Freedom HF’s Inverter mode setting is turned on (“”) and the
AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the transfer
switch automatically switches to inverter function. This means that the AC
output terminals will provide power from the battery and any appliance
connected to the AC output terminals will operate.
Turning the Inverter Function On and Off
The Inverter Power button on the display panel turns the Freedom HF’s
Inverter function ON and OFF. To operate, press the button and hold for one
second.
When shore power is NOT present and Inverter mode is ON:
the AC outlets will supply power to any attached appliances when the
Inverter Power button is turned ON, and
the AC outlets will not supply power to any attached appliances when
the Inverter Power button is turned OFF.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the Inverter Power button
off when you are not using the Freedom HF.
Inverter Mode Setting is OFF
When the Freedom HF’s Inverter function is turned off (“”) and the AC
source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the Freedom HF
will not switch to invert mode. This means that even if the Inverter Power
button is pressed to try and turn inverter function on, there will be no power
coming from the battery to the AC output terminals. Therefore, any
appliance connected to the AC output terminals will not operate.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turning the Inverter mode setting to OFF and/or turning the Inverter
Power button off do not disconnect DC battery power from the Freedom
HF. You must disconnect both AC and DC power before working on any
circuits connected to the Freedom HF.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
