Independent Power System

 

 

Overload

During Inverter mode, the Freedom HW 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 HW automatically shuts down when the maximum

 

operating limit is exceeded.

Over-temp

Alarm and

Shutdown

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

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

Independent Power System

 

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

 

independent power system. While the Freedom HW is an extremely

 

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

 

best performance from your system.

Inverting

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

 

of starting heavy loads like refrigerators and pumps.

 

When the Freedom HW 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 HW—unlike many

 

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

 

near zero (sometimes called dead battery charging).
