Bob? Any comments on the reliability? The proposed set is in
individual residences on a First Nations reserve and the
recipients will have zero technical knowledge for operation of
them.

I can only comment on it if it is using a PS rather than a Prosine.
I didn't<br>
have a lot of experience with the Prosines back then. A wee bit
though.<br>
<br>
If a PS2512 or 24V PS, then I would trust it. If it works OK now,<br>
and they'd have to test it of course first, then I bet it would be
OK<br>
for a UPS situation.<br>
<br>
Hopefully they don't have 10 year old batteries in them and these
were<br>
real products and not some kind of prototype deal, I wouldn't have
an issue with it.<br>
<br>
There won't be a warranty left on it though. I might even get a<br>
backup inverter for "just in case", as long as there was one
semi-technical<br>
person or someone nearby that knows how to twiddle knobs and<br>
a screwdriver.<br>

the 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>
