1IntroductionChapter 1 introduces you to the Freedom HF, explainsthe inverting, charging, and power system managementfunctions.It covers the following: Freedom HF’s major features, and Freedom HF’s function as an independent powersystem.1–1
Freedom HF Inverter/ChargerCongratulations on your purchase of the Freedom HF Inverter/Charger(Freedom HF). As part of the Freedom Inverter/Charger family, theFreedom HF 1000 and Freedom HF 1800 give you quality power, worryfree operation, and outstanding reliability. The Freedom HF’s integratedinverting–charging functions and numerous power management featuresmake it ideal for marine installations, recreational and commercialvehicles.Quality PowerThe Freedom HF provides up to 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000) or up to1800 watts (Freedom HF 1800) of continuous modified sine wave powerfrom a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as a 600-wattmicrowave (Freedom HF 1000) or 1000-watt microwave (Freedom HF1800), TVs, VCRs, and midsized power tools.The Freedom HF’s high surge capability lets you handle many hard-tostart loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverterpower and incoming AC power (shore power) to ensure power is alwaysavailable.The built-in charger automatically charges the battery bank when theFreedom HF is connected to incoming AC power (shore power).ComprehensiveProtectionThe Freedom HF’s built-in protection features safeguard your batteriesand equipment to give you worry-free operation: ReliableBack-up1–2The low battery voltage alarm and shutdown prevents yourbatteries from becoming completely discharged.The three-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receivethe “best” charge with minimal wear and tear.If the Freedom HF detects “bad” AC voltage, it switchesautomatically to Inverter mode and supplies your equipment withmodified sine wave power derived from the batteries. When “good”AC becomes available again, the Freedom HF allows the AC to passthrough to your loads and automatically begins to recharge thebatteries.If incoming shore power fails, the Freedom HF automatically detects thefailure and instantly becomes an independent power source that suppliesquality AC to your loads.975-0390-01-01
Independent Power SystemOverloadAlarm andShutdownDuring Inverter mode, the Freedom HF automatically alerts you if theloads that are connected and drawing power from the unit are close to themaximum operating limit.The Freedom HF automatically shuts down when the maximum operatinglimit is exceeded.Over-tempAlarm andShutdownDuring Inverter mode, the Freedom HF automatically alerts you if it isoverheating and approaching the over-temperature shutdown limit.The Freedom HF automatically shuts down when the limit is exceeded.Independent Power SystemYour Freedom HF has been designed to be the heart of a sophisticated,independent power system. While the Freedom HF is an extremely“friendly” product to operate, Xantrex wants to ensure that you get thebest performance from your system.InvertingFreedom HF produces 120 Vac from your 12V batteries and is capable ofstarting heavy loads like refrigerators and pumps.When the Freedom HF is inverting (producing 120 Vac output) without aload, it draws less than 1A of current from the battery (or battery bank).This feature allows the unit to operate without draining too much storedenergy.ChargingFor the inverter to perform effectively, the batteries must be chargedcorrectly. The unit has a built-in three-stage charging system that extendsthe life and optimizes the performance of the batteries.In addition to the numerous features which let you maximize yourbattery’s life and performance, the Freedom HF—unlike manychargers—also has the ability to recharge batteries even if the voltage isnear zero (sometimes called dead battery charging).975-0390-01-011–3
