Freedom HW Inverter/Charger
Congratulations on your purchase of the Freedom HW Inverter/Charger
( Freedom HW ). As part of the Xantrex Inverter/Charger family, the
Freedom HW gives you quality power, worry-free operation, and
outstanding reliability. The Freedom HW ’s integrated inverting–charging
functions and numerous power management features make it ideal for
recreational and commercial vehicles.
Quality Power The Freedom HW provides up to 1000 watts of continuous modified sine
wave power from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as a
600-watt microwave, TVs, VCRs, and midsized power tools.
The Freedom HW ’s high surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-
start loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.
The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter
power and incoming AC power (shore power) to ensure power is always
available.
The built-in charger automatically charges the battery bank when the
Freedom HW is connected to incoming AC power (shore power).
Comprehensive
Protection The Freedom HW ’s built-in protection features safeguard your batteries
and equipment to give you worry-free operation:
• The low battery voltage alarm and shutdown prevents your
batteries from becoming completely discharged.
• The three-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive
the “best” charge with minimal wear and tear.
• If the Freedom HW detects low AC voltage, it switches
automatically to Inverter mode and supplies your equipment with
modified sine wave power derived from the batteries. When AC
voltage returns within range again, the
Freedom HW allows the AC to
pass through to your loads and automatically begins to recharge the
batteries.
Reliable
Back-up If incoming shore power fails, the Freedom HW automatically detects the
failure and instantly becomes an independent power source that supplies
quality AC to your loads.
