Introduction - Xantrex Freedom Marine Series Owner's Manual

INTRODUCTION

This owner's manual describes the
Freedom Marine Series Inverter/Chargers from
Xantrex. These units perform four distinct
functions:
1. DC to AC power inverting.
2. Automatic transfer switching between
inverter power and incoming AC power.
3. Automatic three-stage battery charging
plus manual battery equalizing.
4. Multiple battery bank charging.
• The inverter provides regulated 120 volt AC
power at a crystal controlled frequency from a
deep cycle battery bank and is rated at:
Freedom 10
Freedom 15
Freedom 20
Freedom 25
Freedom 30
The output is a modified sine wave and is
compatible with most appliances, tools and
other 120 VAC equipment. (Note: Certain laser
printers, breadmakers, digital clocks and small
battery chargers may not operate on modfied
sine wave.) The idle mode reduces battery
power consumption when AC loads are
removed from the inverter output. High effi-
ciency ensures the longest possible battery life
between charges. All models are designed to
deliver surge current for starting loads larger
than the continuous rating of the inverter.

• The internal transfer switch allows the
Freedom Inverter/Charger to be connected to
an external AC source and transfer the source
power through the unit directly to the loads.
When the external AC power source is
disconnected, the transfer switch allows
automatic switching of the loads back to the
inverter.
