    I have a Xantrex Prosine 2.5 Inverter installed on my boat with the
    standard remote panel that comes with the unit. The panel has stopped
    functioning. I have call their support center and the only help they
    could provide was either the panel is broken or the inverter unit is
    broken and they both are not repairable. The display panel will only
    flash standby in charge or invert. Yet when AC power is applied to the
    inverter it passes the AC through and starts charging the batteries at
    14.2 VDC and after a while goes to float mode voltage of about 13.2 VDC
    but the AC in LED on the panel will not light nor can you get the unit to
    go into inverter mode.
     
    The remote panel passes all of its self tests and I asked if I sent in
    the panel if they could test it on one of their working units. I was
    told there is no testing available nor do they repair this $2K unit.
    Xantrex suggested I find some one with a Prosine 2.5 or 3.0 unit and ask
    them to plug my panel into t5he second port on the inverter to test my
    display. If the display works then the inverter is defective and it
    cannot be repaired and will need to be replaced.
     
    If any one is thinking about an inverter from Xantrex I suggest that you
    ask if it is a repairable unit or a through away.
     
    Is there anyone on the site who has a Prosine 2.5 or 3.0 unit willing to
    test my control panel? If so please contact me directly at
    SHARKBYTE2 at JUNO>COM
