Operating in Inverter Mode

The Freedom HW is in inverter mode when shore power is not presently available and the unit is using the battery (inverting DC to AC) to power the appliances connected to the Freedom HW.

The Yellow status LED lights up to indicate the Freedom HW is using the battery to power the appliances.

Table 4-1below illustrates the battery status during inverter mode as shown on the display panel.

Disabling the Inverter Function

WARNING: Shock hazard

Switching the Power button to Off does not disconnect DC battery power from the Freedom HW. You must disconnect both AC and DC power before working on any circuits connected to the Freedom HW.

To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, switch the Power button to Off when you are not using the Freedom HW.

Checking Battery Status

During inverter mode, you can check the battery status by pressing the Select button until the Input Voltage LED (or Input Current LED) illuminates. The battery voltage (or battery current) appears in the three- digit LED display screen when the Input Voltage LED (or Input Current LED) illuminates.

The normal operating battery voltage range is between 11 and 15 volts.

Checking Output Power

During Inverter mode, you can check how much power (displayed in kW) the Freedom HW is supplying to the connected loads by pressing the Select button until the Output Power LED illuminates.
