Basic Installation Procedures

Step 2: Choosing a Location for the Unit

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

•This equipment contains components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the Freedom HF in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.

•To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the Freedom HF in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

The Freedom HF should only be installed in locations that meet the following requirements:

❐ Dry. Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash on the

only.

 

Freedom HF. Do not mount the Freedom HF in an area subject to

 

splashing water or bilge water.

❐

Cool. Normal air temperature should be between 32 °F and 104 °F

(0 °C and 40 °C)—the cooler the better.

 

❐ Ventilated. Allow at least 5 in. (13cm) of clearance at the DC end of

qualified

 

the Freedom HF for air flow, 1 in. (2.5cm) on each side, and 2 in.

 

 

 

(5cm) at the AC end. The more clearance for ventilation around the

 

 

unit, the better the performance. Do not allow the ventilation openings

 

 

on the ends of the unit to become obstructed.

like gasoline.

 

 

❐ Close to the battery compartment and the AC source and load

 

 

panels. Avoid excessive cable lengths (which reduce input and outputguide

 

power due to wire resistance). Use the recommended cable lengths and

 

sizes, especially between the battery banks and the Freedom HF.

❐ Protected from battery acid and gases. Never allow battery acid to drip on the Freedom HF or its wiring when reading specific gravity or filling the battery. Also do not mount the unit where it will be exposed to gases produced by the batteries. These gases are very corrosive, and prolonged exposure will damage the Freedom HF.
