Operating Limits
Power Output
The Freedom HF can deliver up to 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000
and 1055), 1500 watts (Freedom HF 1500), or 1800 watts
(Freedom HF 1800) continuous power. The wattage rating applies
to resistive loads such as incandescent lights.
Input Voltage
For all models
The allowable Freedom HF input voltage ranges are shown in the following table
for all models

Low refers to low limit of the low voltage threshold.
High refers to high limit of the low voltage threshold.

Low Voltage
Alarm
Low: <11.0 volts
High: <12.3 volts
The low battery alarm beeps once every two seconds and the display
shows fault code
E05
.
Low Voltage
Shutdown
Low: <10.5 volts
High: <11.8 volts
The low battery alarm beeps every second and the display shows fault
code
E01
. The status LED turns red and the display screen is turned OFF
within 30 seconds to protect the battery from being over-discharged.
High Voltage
Shutdown
15.5 volts or more
The over-voltage alarm beeps every second and the display shows fault
code
E02
alternating with the battery voltage. The status LED turns red
and the display screen is turned OFF within 30 seconds to protect itself
from excessive input voltage.
NOTE
: Although the Freedom HF incorporates over-voltage protection, it
can still be damaged if input voltage exceeds 16 volts.
