4 This owner ’s manual describes the Freedom 458 Series Inverter/Chargers from Xantrex. These units perform three distinct functions: 1. DC to AC power inverting. 2. Automatic transfer switching between inverter power and incoming AC power . 3. Automatic three-stage battery charging plus manual battery equalizing.
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. These breakers are reset by pushing the button back in.
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.
7 OPERA TION The Freedom 458 Inverter/Charger pro vides 120 volt AC power from auxiliary DC bat teries, automatic battery charging and automatic AC transfer switching between an external AC source and inverter mode.
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 The INVERT push-button switch is located on the front of the unit. • When the LED is solid green, the unit is in invert mode.
9 OPERA TION • When the LED is blinking slowly (once per second), an over-current condition or a short circuit has occured. The system has shut OFF and will not automatically restart.
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 Freedom Remote Control Panel An optional remote control panel is available.
11 BA TTERIES BA TTERY 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. Wet Cell Batteries T rue deep-cycle wet cell batteries are characterized by relatively thick internal plates that are alloyed with antimony .
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. They are sealed and water cannot be added. Do not confuse them with true gel cell or AGM batteries—they will not hold up well to deep discharging and repeated cycling.
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 . For example, two 12-volt 105 amp-hour batteries in parallel will produce one 12-volt 210 amp-hour battery bank.
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 watts or AC V A (volt-amps) apparent power .
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. If charging stops short of this point, sulfate is left on the plates and deterioration of the battery begins.
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.
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. During this stage the battery voltage is held constant at the bulk charge voltage limit and the current gradually ramps down.
18 BA TTER Y CHARGING The equalizing charge is a timed, eight- hour cycle. The cycle can be ended early by interrupting 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.
19 BA TTER Y CHARGING 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. If one or more cells begin to overflow , terminate the equalize cycle.

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.
22 CAUTION Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove cover , no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. The Freedom 458 Inverter/Charger is appropriate for installation in recreational v e hicles (RV) and other applications.
23 9. Do not backfeed the AC output of the in- verter with incoming AC power . A backfeed occurs when AC power from shorepower or generator is connected to the output of the in verter . This will damage the inverter and void the warranty . Remember that incoming AC must be fed only to the AC input and never the AC output.
24 Do not connect incoming AC from any source to the AC output of the inverter/ charger . This is known as backfeeding 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.
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. Depending upon which model you have, there can be one or two AC inputs and one or two AC outputs within the AC wiring compartment.
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 .
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.
28 COMPRESSION / RING TERMINAL INST ALLA TION Improper stack up of hardware will cause excessive heat and fuse failure. Stack up as shown. W ARNING Battery Cable Fusing A fuse is required by the NEC to protect the battery and cables.
29 INST ALLA TION Follow these instructions to ensure proper start up and confirm that the installation is correct. 1. Check to make sure Invert and Charge are OFF . The INVERT LED should not be illuminated, the CHARGE LED should be blinking (charger ready but no external AC power available).
30 NOTE: For low power system shutdown mode, both the INVERT and CHARGE LEDs must be OFF . • T esting for backfeed. If a backfeed condition is indicated, disconnect from shorepower and disconnect the AC output wires on the inverter . Make sure the inverter is OFF .

33 Alternating Current (AC) An electric current that reverses direction at regular intervals. Sources of alternating current are shore power , generator power , inverter power or household current. Ampere (Amp, A) The unit of measure of electron flow rate of current through a circuit.
34 Equalize Charge A controlled overcharge of the batteries which brings all cells up to the same voltage potential, extends the battery life, restores capacity and mixes the electrolyte. This can only be done using the Freedom Remote Control Panel or a Link Instrument.
