DC power supply With an external AC source connected, the Freedom 10 charger also serves the
functions of an AC to DC converter to supply all of the DC loads that are
connected to the battery.
Simple, automatic operation is made possible by the microprocessor that is the
brain of the Freedom 10. In most cases, the unit is left on and no attention or
maintenance is required.
Optional remote
panel Two optional remote control panels are available for the Freedom 10—one for
12 V models and one for 24 V models. These remote control panels provide a
power switch, system status LEDs, DC volts and DC amps LED bar graphs. In
addition, the remote control panel allows adjustment of the following settings:
• three-stage or equalize charging
• temperature
• battery type
• charger mode
• idle sensitivity
• power sharing.
Things You Should Know
Intended Use
The Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger is intended:
• as a DC to AC inverter/battery charger
• for use in recreational vehicles, recreational marine vehicles, and residential
solar applications
• to be permanently installed, not portable
• to be used with a DC fuse as described in the installation section of this
manual.
Circuit Breaker Protection
The 15 amp circuit breaker on the front of the unit protects against sustained
inverter overloads. The breaker is reset by pressing the button. The 15 amp circuit
breaker protects the incoming AC circuit which is transferred through to the loads,
and feeds the battery charger.
WARNING: Unexpected operation
A transfer between inverter and charge modes of operation may temporarily take place
when the product is subjected to electrostatic discharge.
