Basic Installation Procedures

Step 5: Connecting AC Output to an Existing AC Circuit

FIRE, SHOCK, AND ENERGY HAZARDS

Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with local and national electrical wiring codes.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Do not connect any AC source (such as a generator or utility power) to the AC wiring output of the Freedom HF.

The Freedom HF will not operate if its output is connected to AC voltage from another source, and potentially hazardous or damaging conditions may occur. These conditions can occur even if the inverter is off.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

Do not connect the Freedom HF to an AC branch circuit that has high- power consumption loads.

The Freedom HF will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners, stoves, and other electrical appliances that consume more than 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000) or 1800 watts (Freedom HF 1800).

A Xantrex-tested and approved GFCI must be connected to the Freedom HF AC output, and on every receptacle connected to the AC hard wired installation. Other types may fail to operate properly when connected to the Freedom HF. Although you can reuse the factory-installed GFCI, Xantrex has also tested and approved the following GFCIs for use with the Freedom HF inverter/charger. See “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)” on page 10.
