Introduction
Key Features
Power for Most Appliances The Freedom HFS inverter/charger provides up to 1000 watts
a
or up to 2000 wattsb of continuous utility grade, sine wave power derived from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as microwave ovens, TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, and power tools. In addition, the Freedom HFS’s high­surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-start loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.
The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter power and shore power from recreational facilities such as boat docks or campsites to ensure power is always available.
The built-in charger also automatically charges the battery bank when the Freedom HFS is connected to shore power.
Comprehensive Protection The Freedom HFS’s built-in protection features safeguard your batteries and equipment, such as:
the low battery voltage alarm and shutdown prevents your batteries from becoming completely discharged
the three-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive efficient charge
when shore power is available, inverter power switches automatically to shore power in milliseconds allowing continuous operation of connected equipment
Back-up Capability If incoming shore power is interrupted by external events like brownouts, the Freedom HFS automatically becomes an independent power source
c
that supplies utility grade
AC power to your loads.
Overload Alarm and Shutdown During inverter mode, the Freedom HFS automatically alerts you if the loads that are connected and drawing power from the unit are close to approaching the maximum operating limit. If so, the Freedom HFS automatically shuts down when the maximum operating limit is exceeded.

Introduction
Over temperature Alarm and Shutdown During inverter mode, the Freedom HFS automatically alerts you if it is overheating and approaching the over-temperature shutdown limit.
The Freedom HFS automatically shuts down when the limit is exceeded.
Low Power Consumption When the Freedom HFS is inverting without a load, it draws less than 0.6 amp of current from the battery (or battery bank).
This feature allows the unit to operate without draining too much stored energy.
Battery-friendly Charging For the inverter to perform effectively, the batteries must be charged correctly. The Freedom HFS 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 HFS—unlike many chargers—also has the ability to recharge a near-zero
a
voltage battery and an ignition-switched 20-amp auxiliary 12-volt power source
b
.
Selectable Low Battery Shutdown The low battery shutdown for the inverter can be manually selected by the user by choosing a low (10.5 V), middle (11.8 V), or high (12.1 V) setting.
Ignition Control The Freedom HFS provide two user-selectable ignition control method:
Ignition Lockout: The Freedom HFS features the ability to inhibit the inverter from operating in the absence of a voltage signal from a vehicle's ignition circuit. This is particularly useful if the inverter is required to operate only when a vehicle's engine is running.
Ignition Auto-on: The Freedom HFS can automatically turn the inverter on and off with the vehicle's ignition circuit.
Inverter Power Save The Freedom HFS has the ability to automatically turn off after 25 hours of continued operation of loads that are under 50 watts. It is designed to, in conjunction with LBCO, to prevent the battery from deep discharge.
a.Near-zero or dead batteries can be recharged. However, some batteries which have been left uncharged for days can become severely damaged thus, recharging is futile. b.Available on the Freedom HFS 1055 120VAC EMS model (PN: 807-1055-02) and Freedom HFS 2055 120VAC EMS model (PN: 807-2055-02). The inverter/charger features a 20-amp fused and switched output voltage supplied from the inverter/char
­ger's positive terminal. When connected to a vehicle's ignition signal, a switched pos­itive voltage is available to power auxiliary circuits that are required to operate only when the vehicle is operational.
