Operating During Transition Between Shore Power and Inverter Mode

Operating During Transition Between Shore Power and Inverter Mode

The Freedom HF’s advanced power management is capable of transitioning power from an AC source to DC source within a fraction of a second and vice-versa.

The Freedom HF automatically detects when shore power is present and when it becomes unavailable or drops to less than 90 Vac.

Transitioning from Shore Power to Inverter Mode

When the unit is operating in shore power mode and shore power is lost, the Freedom HF has less than 30 ms (milliseconds) to switch to inverter mode and start drawing power from the battery.

The Status LED will turn from solid or flashing GREEN to a solid

YELLOW.

Transitioning from Inverter Mode to Shore Power

When the unit is operating in inverter mode and shore power becomes available, the Freedom HF begins a 20-second countdown to verify the stability of the shore power. If shore power remains stable within 20 seconds, at the end of the countdown, the Freedom HF has less than 30 ms (milliseconds) to switch to shore power mode and start drawing power from the AC source.

The Status LED will turn from solid YELLOW to flashing YELLOW during the 20-second countdown, then turn to GREEN when battery power is transitioned successfully to shore power.
