Operating in Shore Power Mode
The
Freedom HF
operates in shore power mode when an AC source (a
generator or utility power) is present at the AC input terminals. When the
AC source is within operating range, the
Freedom HF
unit bypasses
inverter function and powers the appliances connected to the unit. See
“Transitioning from Inverter Mode to Shore Power” on page 4–7
.
The
Freedom HF
also automatically charges the battery bank that is
connected while in shore power mode. See
“Battery Charging” on
page 4–11
.
The Green status LED lights up to indicate that the
Freedom HF
is using
utility (or generator) power and the battery is full. A flashing Green LED
indicates that the unit is charging the battery.
When shore power is present, AC power will automatically pass through
the
Freedom HF
. Pressing the Inverter button on the display panel will not
interrupt the supply of shore power. Shore Power mode supersedes
Inverter mode.
When the
Freedom HF
‘s Inverter button is turned ON and the AC source
is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the transfer switch
automatically switches to inverter mode. See
“Transitioning from Shore
Power to Inverter Mode” on page 4–7
