OPERATION
The Freedom Inverter/Charger provides
120 volt AC power from auxiliary DC batteries,
automatic battery charging and automatic AC
transfer switching between an external AC
source and inverter mode.
External AC Power
When external AC power is available, the
3-stage battery charger, transfer switching,
and Power Sharing automatically function.
When external AC power is not available
and the INVERT switch is ON (either through
the auxiliary switch or the INVERT button on

LED will not be illuminated), the inverter will be
OFF.
If installed with the Remote Control Panel
or Link Instrumentation, the unit will be set up
and controlled from the remote. Refer to the
