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.

Inverter Loads
The Freedom HF will operate most AC loads within its power
rating of 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000), 1500 watts (Freedom HF
1500), or 1800 watts (Freedom HF 1800). However, some
appliances and equipment may be difficult to operate, and other
appliances may actually be damaged if you try to operate them
with the Freedom HF. Please read
and
carefully.
Overload Conditions
There are two kinds of overload conditions; overload warning and
overload shutdown.
Overload Warning
When the Freedom HF’s AC load is approximately 100 W below
the overload shutdown limit of ~1000 W (Freedom HF 1000) and
~1800 W (Freedom HF 1500/1800), the audible alarm beeps once
every two seconds and the display screen shows a fault code
E06
.
Overload Shutdown
When the Freedom HF’s AC load increases to near ~1100 W
(Freedom HF 1000 models) and ~2000 W (Freedom HF
1500/1800 models), the audible alarm beeps every second and the
display screen shows a fault code
E03
. The Status LED turns
solid RED and in 30 seconds, both the unit and the display screen
will shut down to prevent damage to the inverter and protect the
battery from being over-discharged.
