Xantrex Vesta Online units? I have just been contacted by a client
who has several of these in storage and he wants to put them into
use as off-grid inverter systems. The only thing I've been able to
find out about them is that they seem to be UPS units. Client has
no further info or manuals. I have a pic if anyone needs a look.

The Vesta that I remember was a very early Xantrex, late Trace
battery box like thing with an inverter<br>
in it. The inverter would normally have been either a Statpower
Prosine or a Trace PS2512 or<br>
some other voltage. We called it the Pentasine cuz it had 5
transformers.<br>
<br>
I wasn't sure if the Vesta was a shipping product but I guess
they/we did ship some.<br>
<br>
I have a couple of those that I use for shelves in the basement.
They had doors.<br>
