Operating in Shore Power Mode
Operating in Inverter Mode
The Freedom HF is in inverter mode when shore power is not presently available and the unit is using the battery (by inverting DC to AC) to power the appliances connected to the Freedom HF.
The Yellow status LED lights up to indicate the Freedom HF is using the battery to power the appliances.
The table on the next page illustrates the battery status during inverter mode as shown on the display panel.
Inverter Mode Setting is ON (“Standby”)
When the Freedom HF’s Inverter mode setting is turned on (“”) and the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the transfer switch automatically switches to inverter function. This means that the AC output terminals will provide power from the battery and any appliance connected to the AC output terminals will operate.
Turning the Inverter Function On and Off
The Inverter Power button on the display panel turns the Freedom HF’s Inverter function ON and OFF. To operate, press the button and hold for one second.
When shore power is NOT present and Inverter mode is ON:
•the AC outlets will supply power to any attached appliances when the Inverter Power button is turned ON, and
•the AC outlets will not supply power to any attached appliances when the Inverter Power button is turned OFF.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turning the Inverter mode setting to OFF and/or turning the Inverter Power button off do not disconnect DC battery power from the Freedom HF. You must disconnect both AC and DC power before working on any circuits connected to the Freedom HF.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the Inverter Power button off when you are not using the Freedom HF.
Inverter Mode Setting is OFF
When the Freedom HF’s Inverter function is turned off (“”) and the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the Freedom HF will not switch to invert mode. This means that even if the Inverter Power button is pressed to try and turn inverter function on, there will be no power coming from the battery to the AC output terminals. Therefore, any appliance connected to the AC output terminals will not operate.
