Basic Installation Procedures

Inverter Ignition Control (For Freedom HF 1000, 1055, 1800, and 1800 T)

The Freedom HF can be wired to inhibit inverter operation in the absence of a vehicle’s (or vessel's) ignition control signal. This feature can avoid unnecessary battery drain that would otherwise occur if the inverter was operated without a charging source such as the vehicle alternator. The feature is standard on the Freedom HF platform.

To enable ignition control:

1.Ensure that AC and DC power are both OFF.

2.Ensure the vehicle’s ignition is turned to OFF position. It is highly recommended to remove battery power by disconnecting the vehicle's battery cables. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Guide for proper instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.

3.Locate the vehicle's ignition control wire from the vehicle’s ignition circuit. This wire must be fused appropriately at no more than five amps. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Guide for guidance.

4.Using a #1 Phillips screw driver, remove the screw securing the DC wiring cover on the left hand side of the unit.
