Introduction
This Owner’s Manual describes the Xantrex Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger. This
unit performs four distinct functions:
1. DC to AC power inverting
2. Automatic transfer switching between inverter power and incoming AC
power
3. Three-stage automatic battery charging plus manual battery equalizing
4. AC to DC power converter.
The inverter provides 1,000 watts of voltage and frequency-regulated AC power
from a deep-cycle battery bank. The output is a modified sine wave and is
compatible with virtually all consumer appliances. An idle circuit reduces battery
power consumption when the inverter is unloaded. There is a low battery cutout
circuit and considerable momentary surge power is available for starting electric
motors. High efficiency ensures the longest possible battery life between
recharges.
Transfer switch The transfer switch allows the Freedom 10 to be connected to an external AC
source. Some of the external AC power is used to operate the battery charger, the
rest is switched through the unit to the output. Thus, the Freedom 10 operates as a
self-contained backup power system just by adding batteries. The power sharing
feature constantly senses the AC current being used by the battery charger and the
appliances connected to the output, and automatically reduces battery charger
power consumption if usage exceeds the input circuit breaker rating.
Battery charging The Freedom 10 battery charger is electronically controlled and rated at
50 amps DC (25 amps DC for 24-volt systems). It is designed to rapidly and
optimally recharge either wet or gel cell deep-cycle batteries. Battery charging is
accomplished in three automatic stages: Bulk Charge, Acceptance, and Float
Charge. In addition, using the remote control, a manually engaged equalizing
charge cycle is possible.
