Freedom HF Inverter/Charger

 

Congratulations on your purchase of the Freedom HF Inverter/Charger

 

(Freedom HF). As part of the Freedom Inverter/Charger family, the

 

Freedom HF 1000 and Freedom HF 1800 give you quality power, worry-

 

free operation, and outstanding reliability. The Freedom HF’s integrated

 

inverting–charging functions and numerous power management features

 

make it ideal for marine installations, recreational and commercial

 

vehicles.

Quality Power

The Freedom HF provides up to 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000) or up to

 

1800 watts (Freedom HF 1800) of continuous modified sine wave power

 

from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as a 600-watt

 

microwave (Freedom HF 1000) or 1000-watt microwave (Freedom HF

 

1800), TVs, VCRs, and midsized power tools.

 

The Freedom HF’s high surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-

 

start loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.

 

The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter

 

power and incoming AC power (shore power) to ensure power is always

 

available.

 

The built-in charger automatically charges the battery bank when the

 

Freedom HF is connected to incoming AC power (shore power).

Comprehensive

The Freedom HF’s built-in protection features safeguard your batteries

Protection

and equipment to give you worry-free operation:

 

• The low battery voltage alarm and shutdown prevents your

 

batteries from becoming completely discharged.

 

• The three-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive

 

the “best” charge with minimal wear and tear.

 

• If the Freedom HF detects “bad” AC voltage, it switches

 

automatically to Inverter mode and supplies your equipment with

 

modified sine wave power derived from the batteries. When “good”

 

AC becomes available again, the Freedom HF allows the AC to pass

 

through to your loads and automatically begins to recharge the

 

batteries.

Reliable

If incoming shore power fails, the Freedom HF automatically detects the

Back-up

failure and instantly becomes an independent power source that supplies

 

quality AC to your loads.
