Operating in Shore Power Mode

Operating in Shore Power Mode

The Freedom HW operates in shore power mode when an AC source (a generator or utility power) is present at the AC input terminals. When the AC source is within operating range, the Freedom HW unit bypasses inverter function and provides the same AC source power to the AC output terminals. AC power will automatically pass through the Freedom HW.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Switching the Power button to Standby does not interrupt the supply of shore power to the Freedom HW. Shore power supersedes inverter function. See “Transitioning from Inverter Mode to Shore Power” on page 4–8.

The Freedom HW also automatically charges the battery bank that is connected while in shore power mode. See “Battery Charging” on page 4–12.

The green Status LED lights up to indicate that the Freedom HW is using utility (or generator) power and the battery is full. A flashing green Status LED indicates that the unit is charging the battery.

Inverter Mode Settings

Inverter mode

When the Freedom HW’s Inverter mode setting is enabled (“In1”) and

setting is

the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the

Standby

transfer switch automatically switches to inverter function. This means

 

that the AC output terminals will provide power from the battery and any

 

appliance connected to the AC output terminals will operate.

Inverter mode

When the Freedom HW’s Inverter mode setting is disabled (“In0”) and

setting is Off

the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the

 

Freedom HWwill not switch to invert mode. This means that even if the

 

Power button is pressed to try and turn inverter function on, there will be

 

no power coming from the battery to the AC output terminals. Therefore,

 

any appliance connected to the AC output terminals will not operate.
