Freedom HF Installation Guide
Basic Installation Procedures
Step 8: Testing Your Installation
There are two tests to be performed. The first test verifies that the
Freedom HF is inverting DC battery power and delivering AC
power to its output.
The second test is intended for installations where AC input and
output is hard wired to the Freedom HF. This test verifies that the
Freedom HF transfers from inverter power to shore power when
shore power is present.
When you are ready to test your installation and operate the
Freedom HF, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC circuit
breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom HF.
Testing in Invert Mode
To test the Freedom HF in invert mode:
1. For hard wired installations, ensure shore power is not present.
2. Press the Inverter button to turn the inverter on.
The status LED on the display panel glows yellow and the LED
display illuminates.
3. Plug an appliance within the power rating of the inverter into
the Freedom HF GFCI or an AC outlet hard wired to the
Freedom HF.
4. Turn the appliance on to verify that it operates.
If the appliance operates, your installation is successful. If your
installation has AC input and output hard wired to the Freedom HF,
proceed to “Testing in Shore Power Mode”.
If the status LED on the display panel glows red, see the
Troubleshooting chapter.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Pressing the Inverter button to turn OFF the Freedom HF inverter
function on display panel does not disconnect DC or AC input power to
the Freedom HF. If shore power is present at AC input terminals, it will
pass through to the AC output.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
NOTE:
Shore power (pass-through) refers to the AC input power
from a utility grid, generator or external AC source.
