Introduction Introduction This Owner’s Manual describes the Xantrex Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger. This unit performs four distinct functions: 1. DC to AC power inverting 2. Automatic transfer switching between inverter power and incoming AC power 3. Three-stage automatic battery charging plus manual battery equalizing 4. AC to DC power converter. The inverter provides 1,000 watts of voltage and frequency-regulated AC power from a deep-cycle battery bank. The output is a modified sine wave and

Things You Should Know DC power supply With an external AC source connected, the Freedom 10 charger also serves the functions of an AC to DC converter to supply all of the DC loads that are connected to the battery. Simple, automatic operation is made possible by the microprocessor that is the brain of the Freedom 10. In most cases, the unit is left on and no attention or maintenance is required. Optional remote Two optional remote control panels are available for the Freedom 10—one for pan

Introduction Electronic Protection Fast-acting electronic circuits protect the inverter from extreme overloads, low and high battery voltage and over-temperature. They can be reset by cycling the power switch off and on. The fault condition must be eliminated before reset will occur. For example, remove the overload, recharge the batteries, or allow the unit to cool. See “Troubleshooting” on page 4–1. Inverter ldle Circuit The inverter idle circuit is an automatic energy saving feature that
