Operating in Shore Power Mode

Operating in Shore Power Mode
The Freedom HW 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 HW unit bypasses
inverter function and provides the same AC source power to the AC
output terminals. AC power will automatically pass through the Freedom
HW.
The Freedom HW also automatically charges the battery bank that is
connected while in shore power mode. See “Battery Charging” on
page 4–12.
The green Status LED lights up to indicate that the Freedom HW is using
utility (or generator) power and the battery is full. A flashing green Status
LED indicates that the unit is charging the battery.
Inverter Mode Settings
Inverter mode
setting is
Standby
When the Freedom HW’s Inverter mode setting is enabled (“In1”) and
the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the
transfer switch automatically switches to inverter function. This means
that the AC output terminals will provide power from the battery and any
appliance connected to the AC output terminals will operate.
Inverter mode
setting is Off
When the Freedom HW’s Inverter mode setting is disabled (“In0”) and
the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the
Freedom HWwill not switch to invert mode. This means that even if the
Power button is pressed to try and turn inverter function on, there will be
no power coming from the battery to the AC output terminals. Therefore,
any appliance connected to the AC output terminals will not operate.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Switching the Power button to Standby does not interrupt the supply of shore
power to the Freedom HW. Shore power supersedes inverter function. See
“Transitioning from Inverter Mode to Shore Power” on page 4–8.
Note: To configure see “To change the inverter mode
setting:” on page 3–5.
