INVERTER FUNCTIONS
MARINE AND RV OPERATING TIP
When external AC power is available, loads normally supplied by the inverter are
automatically transferred to external AC power by the
Freedom
's internal transfer switch.
With no external AC available, inverter loads run on energy stored in the battery. If you have
a big load, such as an electric water heater running on a circuit that is automatically
transferred, you run the risk of quickly discharging your battery if external power fails. To
avoid this, turn the inverter function OFF when leaving the boat or RV unattended. Leaving
the charger function ON helps to assure a full battery when you return.
The
Link 1000
communicates with the
Freedom
inverter/charger via
a telephone cable. When the CHARGE button is pressed, the
Link
1000
sends a "charger on" command to the
Freedom
inverter/charger.
The green light above the button is lit when the "charger on" command
is sent. The charge function will only operate when the inverter is
connected to a battery and external AC is available. The initial power up
condition is with the charger turned ON. On inverters prior to serial
number 100,000 charging is enabled when the INVERT button is on.
When the INVERT switch is pressed, the inverter is commanded on and
the green light above the button is lit. The inverter function will only
operate if it is hooked up to the battery and there is no external AC power
available. The INVERT ON switch does not indicate actual operation,
only that the inverter function is enabled. The initial power up condition
is with the inverter turned OFF.
