Circuit Breaker Protection
The Freedom Inverter/Charger is circuit
breaker protected. The INV/CHG breaker on
the front of the unit protects against sustained
inverter/charger over current conditions.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
the idle circuit sensitivity to be adjusted. The
unit will not put out 120 Volts when in idle. To
bring the unit out of the idle condition, apply
a load.
Low and High Battery Protection
When the battery voltage drops to 10
Volts, the Freedom Inverter/Charger will auto-
matically shut off. Recharge the batteries to
13.5 Volts (12 V model). For 24 Volt models,
recharge batteries to 31.0 Volts. For 32 Volt
models, recharge batteries to 41.38 Volts.
Freedom units will automatically reset when
shore power is disconnected or reset
manually by cycling the power switch OFF/ON
Shut down also occurs for a high battery
condition at 15.5 Volts. To restore inverter
operation, battery voltage must be below 15.5
Volts. Check all DC sources on the system for
excessive voltage.
Power Sharing
When connected to shore power or when
using a generator, the battery charger and
transfer functions are engaged. A unique
Power Sharing feature automatically reduces
the AC consumption of the battery charger
allowing necessary AC power to the load.
This prevents the source AC INPUT circuit
breaker from tripping.
The Power Sharing set point of each unit
has a factory default setting. This can be
adjusted using the Freedom Remote Control
Panel or a Link Instrument.
NOTE: Freedom 25 only. Since the
Freedom 25 has dual AC inputs, one transfer
and one charge, factory default setting for
Power Sharing is OFF. If only one leg is used
to supply both inputs, set Power Sharing
accordingly.

Circuit Breaker
12 Amp
20 Amp
25 Amp
30 Amp
The 30 Amp INPUT circuit breaker on the
Freedom unit protects the incoming AC circuit.
The incoming AC circuit provides power to the
battery charger and transfers power to the
loads connected to the inverter AC output.
The breakers are reset by pushing the button
back in.
NOTE: Freedom 25 only. There are 3
circuit breakers on the Freedom 25. The
OUTPUT 30 Amp circuit breaker on the front
of the unit protects against sustained inverter
overloads. The TRANSFER 30 Amp circuit
breaker on the unit protects the incoming AC
leg which is transferred through to the loads.
The CHARGER 30 Amp circuit breaker
protects the incoming AC leg which feeds the
battery charger.
Thermostat Controlled Cooling
Freedom Inverter/Chargers are equipped
with a thermostat controlled fan that cools the
unit so it can operate continually at its rating.
Inverter Idle Circuit
This automatic energy saving feature
reduces battery power consumption when no
load is present. Response from idle is instant.
In most cases, the operation of the idle circuit
is not noticeable. Use of the Freedom Remote
Control Panel or Link Instrumentation allows
