Freedom HF Owner's Guide
Operating During Transition
Between Shore Power and
Inverter Mode
The Freedom HF’s advanced power management is capable of
transitioning power from an AC source to DC source within a
fraction of a second and vice-versa.
The Freedom HF automatically detects when shore power is
present and when it becomes unavailable or drops to less than 90
volts AC.
Transitioning from Shore Power to
Inverter Mode
When the unit is operating in shore power mode and shore power
is lost, the Freedom HF has less than 30 milliseconds to switch to
inverter mode and start drawing power from the battery.
The Status LED will turn from solid or flashing GREEN to a solid
YELLOW.
Transitioning from Inverter Mode to
Shore Power
When the unit is operating in inverter mode and shore power
becomes available, the Freedom HF begins a 20-second
countdown to verify the stability of the shore power. If shore
power remains stable within 20 seconds, at the end of the
countdown, the Freedom HF has less than 30 milliseconds to
switch to shore power mode and start drawing power from the AC
source.
The Status LED will turn from solid YELLOW to flashing YELLOW
during the 20-second countdown, then turn to GREEN when
battery power is transitioned successfully to shore power.
