Introduction

Key Features

Power for Most Appliances The Freedom HF inverter/charger provides up to 1000 watts (Modelsa Freedom HF 1000, Freedom HF 1055, and Freedom HF 1055 EMS), up to 1500 watts (Freedom HF 1500b), or up to 1800 watts (Modelsc Freedom HF 1800, Freedom HF 1800 T, and Freedom HF 1800 EMS) of continuous modified sine wave power derived from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as microwave ovens, TVs, VCRs, and mid-sized power tools. In addition, the Freedom HF’s high-surge 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 HF is connected to shore power.

Comprehensive Protection The Freedom HF’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, and

automatic switching between inverter power to passthrough shore power.

Back-up Capability If incoming shore power is interrupted by external events like brownouts, the Freedom HF automatically becomes an independent power sourced that supplies quality AC to your loads.

Overload Alarm and Shutdown During inverter mode, the Freedom HF 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 HF automatically shuts down when the maximum operating limit is exceeded.

Introduction

Over-temp Alarm and Shutdown During inverter mode, the Freedom HF automatically alerts you if it is overheating and approaching the over-temperature shutdown limit.

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

Low Power Consumption When the Freedom HF is inverting without a load, it draws less than 1 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 HF 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 HF—unlike many chargers—also has the ability to recharge a near-zeroa voltage battery and an ignition-switched 20-amp auxiliary 12-volt power sourceb.

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 HF 1055 EMS model and Freedom HF 1800 EMS model. The inverter/charger features a 20-amp fused and switched output voltage supplied from the inverter/charger'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.

Selectable Low Battery Shutdown The low battery shutdown for the inverter can be manually selected by the user by choosing a low, middle, or high setting. The low setting default for low battery shutdown is 10.5 volts except Freedom HF 1500 (PN: 806-1544).
