Operating in Shore Power Mode
The Freedom HF operates in shore power mode when an AC source (a generator or utility power) is present at the AC input terminals. When the AC source is within operating range, the Freedom HF unit bypasses inverter function and powers the appliances connected to the unit. See “Transitioning from Inverter Mode to Shore Power” on page 20.
The Freedom HF also automatically charges the battery bank that is connected while in shore power mode. See “Battery Charging” on page 24.
The Green status LED lights up to indicate that the Freedom HF is using utility (or generator) power and the battery is full. A flashing Green LED indicates that the unit is charging the battery.
When shore power is present, AC power will automatically pass through the Freedom HF. Pressing the Inverter Power button on the display panel will not interrupt the supply of shore power. Shore Power mode supersedes Inverter mode.
When the Freedom HF ‘s Inverter Power button is turned ON and the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the transfer switch automatically switches to inverter mode. See “Transitioning from Shore Power to Inverter Mode” on page 20.
