6. Tug firmly on each connection to make sure they are
secure.
Warning
Do not connect incoming AC power, from any source, to the
AC output of the Freedom Inverter/Charger. This is called back-
feeding. Back-feeding will damage the unit and it will void your
warranty.
The OVERTEMP/OVERLOAD and the LOW BATTERY LEDs
will blink rapidly when the unit is improperly wired and is
being back-fed.
Connect the AC output wiring
Before you connect the AC output wires, check to make sure
that the inverter’s AC output’s hot and neutral buses are
isolated from the main, shore power or generator, hot and
neutral circuits.
1. Check the wires for AC voltage. Incoming AC must be fed
only to the AC input and never to the AC output.
2. Check to make sure that you are not setting up a circular
installation, i.e., the unit’s input power comes from the
unit’s output power. This is the equivalent to plugging the
battery charger into the inverter. This will cause the unit to
oscillate ON and OFF when the unit is in inverter mode.
This could occur if the unit’s AC output is connected to an
entire leg of a circuit breaker panel, and then a circuit
breaker on that leg is used to feed the unit’s input.
3. Feed the 3-conductor, AC output wire(s) through the right
strain relief and into the AC wiring compartment. Give
yourself at least 6 inches of wire to work with.
• If your unit has one AC output, feed one AC output
wire through the strain relief and into the AC wiring
compartment.
• If your unit has dual AC outputs, and you are using
only one AC output, feed one AC output wire through
the strain relief and into the AC wiring compartment.
Cap off the unused output to prevent a short circuit.
