Description

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 34.
The Freedom HF also automatically charges the battery bank that
is connected while in shore power mode. See Battery Charging on
page 38.
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 Power 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 Power 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 34.
