Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 4 This owner ’s manual describes the Freedom 458 Series Combi TM Inverter/ Chargers from Heart Interface. These units perform three distinct functions: 1. DC to AC power inverting. 2. Automatic transfer switching between inverter power and incoming AC power .
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 5 Circuit Breaker Protection The Freedom Inverter/Charger is supplemental breaker protected. The INVERT/CHARGE breaker on the front of the unit protects against sustained inverter/charger over current conditions.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 6 T emperature Sensitive Charging When the supplied battery temperature sensor is connected to the unit and the batteries, the charge voltage is controlled based on battery temperature. The charger adjusts the charge voltage to the best level, minimizing water loss in wet cell batteries.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 7 OPERA TION 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.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 8 ST A TUS LEDs Each Status LED performs two functions, providing battery type selection and operation status. OPERA TION Operation Status INVERT - Green LED • When the LED is solid green, the unit is in invert mode.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 9 OPERA TION LOW BA TTER Y & OVERTEMP/OVERLOAD - Red LEDs • When both LEDs are blinking, an AC backfeed has been detected. A backfeed occurs when AC power from an external source is connected to the output of the inverter .
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 10 LINK 2000 The Link 2000 has the same features as the Link 1000, providing inverter/charger control and complete battery state-of-charge information. It monitors two battery banks. OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL P ANELS Remote Control Panel An optional remote control panel is available.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 11 BA TTERIES BA TTER Y TYPES Use only deep-cycle batteries with your Freedom Inverter/Charger . These fall into three broad categories: wet cell, gel cell and Advanced AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 12 Beware of so-called maintenance-free batteries. These batteries have calcium alloyed with the lead and hold the liquid electrolyte in a sponge-like material.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 13 Parallel Connecting two batteries in parallel will double the Amp-hour rating of the battery bank, while the voltage will be the same as each individual battery . Example, two 12 volt 105 Amp-hour batteries in parallel will produce one 12 volt 210 Amp-hour battery bank.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 14 T o achieve 50% cycling you should calculate your Amp-hour consumption between charging cycles and use a battery bank with twice that capacity**. Each AC appliance or tool has a rating plate on it and will be rated in either AC Amps or W atts or AC V A (V olt-Amps) apparent power .
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 15 Battery Charging Completely charging wet cell deep-cycle batteries requires the battery voltage to be raised beyond what is known as the gassing point. This is the voltage at which the battery begins to bubble and gas is given off.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 16 BA TTER Y CHARGING NOTE: Freedom battery chargers are ON whenever AC power is connected to the charger input. The charger can be turned OFF using the CHARGE switch on the front of the unit. This sequence will occur each time external AC power is available.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 17 Gel cell and Advanced AGM batteries can accept a higher rate of charge. Consult the manufacturer for specifications. Stage 2 - Acceptance Charge The acceptance stage immediately follows the bulk charge stage.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 18 BA TTER Y CHARGING The equalizing charge is a timed, 8-hour cycle. The cycle can be ended early by inter- rupting the AC power to the charger at any time during the cycle. Equalizing should only be engaged after the batteries have been fully charged by a normal battery charging cycle.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 19 1. Do not equalize gel cell batteries. Check remote default settings. 2. Always monitor the equalize charge cycle. Provide proper ventilation for battery fumes. Do not allow any sparks during equalizing.

Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 21 CAUTION This equipment is not ignition protected and employs components that can produce arcs or sparks. T o reduce the risk of fire or explosions, do not install in unvented compartments containing batteries or flammable gasses or areas in which ignition-protected equipment is required.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 22 CAUTION Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove cover , no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. The Freedom Combi is appropriate for installation in recreational vehicles (RV), and other applications.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 23 9. Do not back-feed the AC output of the inverter with incoming AC power . A back-feed occurs when AC power from shore power or generator is connected to the output of the inverter . This will damage the inverter and void the warranty .
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 24 Do not connect incoming AC from any source to the AC output of the inverter/ charger . This is known as back-feeding and will damage the unit and void the warranty . The Over T emp/Overload and Low Battery LEDs will be blinking rapidly if this condition exists.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 25 AC Wiring The AC wires route through the strain relief mounted in holes on the front of the unit. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws which secure the AC wiring compartment cover plate.
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 26 DC Wiring DC wiring is generally very simple, the positive (+, may be red for identification) and negative (-, may be black or yellow for identification) cables from the inverter/charger terminal posts are connected to the house or auxiliary battery .
Part No. 90-0123-00 Libertycombi.p65 10/26/98 27 • Remove the positive (+) battery cable terminal cover from the unit and attach the battery cable. T ighten the battery terminal bolts to a torque value between 160 inch-pounds and 180 inch-pounds. Replace the cover for the positive terminal.
