Freedom HF Inverter/Charger
Congratulations on your purchase of the Freedom HF Inverter/Charger
(Freedom HF). As part of the Freedom Inverter/Charger family, the
Freedom HF 1000 and Freedom HF 1800 give you quality power, worry-
free operation, and outstanding reliability. The Freedom HF’s integrated
inverting–charging functions and numerous power management features
make it ideal for marine installations, recreational and commercial
vehicles.
Quality Power The Freedom HF provides up to 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000) or up to
1800 watts (Freedom HF 1800) of continuous modified sine wave power
from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as a 600-watt
microwave (Freedom HF 1000) or 1000-watt microwave (Freedom HF
1800), TVs, VCRs, and midsized power tools.
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 incoming AC power (shore power) to ensure power is always
available.
The built-in charger automatically charges the battery bank when the
Freedom HF is connected to incoming AC power (shore power).
Comprehensive
Protection
The Freedom HF’s built-in protection features safeguard your batteries
and equipment to give you worry-free operation:
•The low battery voltage alarm and shutdown prevents your
batteries from becoming completely discharged.
•The three-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive
the “best” charge with minimal wear and tear.
If the Freedom HF detects “bad” AC voltage, it switches
automatically to Inverter mode and supplies your equipment with
modified sine wave power derived from the batteries. When “good”
AC becomes available again, the Freedom HF allows the AC to pass
through to your loads and automatically begins to recharge the
batteries.
Reliable
Back-up
If incoming shore power fails, the Freedom HF automatically detects the
failure and instantly becomes an independent power source that supplies
quality AC to your loads.
