I only turn my inverter off when I am rebooting my satellite receiver. I noticed that if I hold the button too long, when turning it off, the inverter will click back on again. When I just tap the button it shuts off properly.

I had the same problem - unable to turn my inverter off.

Turns out it was mismatched chip set.

The computer chip in the remote did not match the chip in the inverter.

Xantrex put a matching one in the inverter.

There is a recall on some of these inverters to update the chip set.

I had the newest one in the remote as Newmar replace my remote panel due to another problem.

Where di you get your Xantrex service/recall done? According to the web site, the nearest service location to me(IA) is in MN or WI. Can this recall be done at Newmar. I have an appointment for other stuff at the end of August.

Mine was fixed at the FMCA rally in March by the Xantrex techs.

I don't know if Newmar can do the update or not. You would have to call them.

BTW, I'll be at Newmar Aug 22.

Thanks, I'll give them a call. We don't arrive until the 26th for work on the 27-28. Maybe we'll meet up there.

I was unable to find the Xantrex model RC7...Is this the Posine 2.0 model (2000w) that Newmar is offering?

socal114 · 08-09-2007, 08:29 PM

Can somebody confirm which Xantrex 2000w model they are putting in the 07-08 models? Is it the Prosine 2.0? I was unable to locate the "RC7" model on the Xantrex website as mentioned earlier in this thread...

The RC7 is a remote control panel that is designed to interface with the RV series inverter/charger. If you have an RC7 remote panel, chances are you have an RV2012 modified sine wave inverter. The panel is available as an RC7 or an RC7/GS (with automatic generator start capability). The Prosine 2000 is a true sine wave inverter but uses a different remote control panel, not the RC7 series.
