Independent Power System

 

 

Overload

During Inverter mode, the Freedom HF automatically alerts you if the

Alarm and

loads that are connected and drawing power from the unit are close to the

Shutdown

maximum operating limit.

 

The Freedom HF automatically shuts down when the maximum operating

 

limit is exceeded.

Over-temp

Alarm and

Shutdown

During Inverter mode, the Freedom HF automatically alerts you if it is overheating and approaching the over-temperature shutdown limit.

The Freedom HF automatically shuts down when the limit is exceeded.

Independent Power System

 

Your Freedom HF has been designed to be the heart of a sophisticated,

 

independent power system. While the Freedom HF is an extremely

 

“friendly” product to operate, Xantrex wants to ensure that you get the

 

best performance from your system.

Inverting

Freedom HF produces 120 Vac from your 12V batteries and is capable of

 

starting heavy loads like refrigerators and pumps.

 

When the Freedom HF is inverting (producing 120 Vac output) without a

 

load, it draws less than 1A of current from the battery (or battery bank).

 

This feature allows the unit to operate without draining too much stored

 

energy.

Charging

For the inverter to perform effectively, the batteries must be charged

 

correctly. The unit has a built-in three-stage charging system that extends

 

the life and optimizes the performance of the batteries.

 

In addition to the numerous features which let you maximize your

 

battery’s life and performance, the Freedom HF—unlike many

 

chargers—also has the ability to recharge batteries even if the voltage is

 

near zero (sometimes called dead battery charging).
