GlacierGirl Posted November 21 Posted November 21 I am Barb's husband, Mark. I can't turn on the xantrax freedom x to get ac power. I press the button on the wall mounted moniter/display, but nothing happens? Barb (and husband, Mark) in Estes Park, CO / Elite 2, Hull #941 / 2023 Toyota Sequoia
Steph and Dud B Posted November 21 Posted November 21 I assume you are not plugged into shore power and are running on batteries? Is the silver button on the Xantrex wall panel in the In position or Out? Are there any green LEDs lit on the panel? 1 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior.

GlacierGirl Posted November 21 Author Posted November 21 Thanks, steph and dud b. The button on the inverter box down below my bed was off. I guess I must have turned it off? I pressed it again, so the button was out, and my control screen on the wall came on. So, the two buttons operate opposite , one out, down below, one in up above. Go figure? But now all is working fine. Thanks so much for your reply. Barb (and husband, Mark) in Estes Park, CO / Elite 2, Hull #941 / 2023 Toyota Sequoia
Steph and Dud B Posted November 21 Posted November 21 Glad you fixed it! 1 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior. Tow vehicle: 2016 GMC Sierra 6.0 gas dually 4x4. Our Oliver journey: Steph and Dud B's RV Screed Where we've been RVing since 1999:

There is a chance the wall-mounted remote button is not working, they can fail which happened with mine. If your remote is the BT model, there is a procedure to supposedly restore communication and use of the remote button. Mine is not BT and the fix is a replacement remote. I decided to use the button on the inverter to operate and just leave it on. Regardless of the remote model, the buttons will have the same operating positions as the inverter. 2020 OLEll, Twin, 579: No installed solar, Renogy 40A DC-DC charger, 460Ah LFP battery bank/Victron SmartShunt, auxiliary Cerbo-S GX/Victron 30A Blue Smart IP22 Charger combo, Hughes Autoformer, dual Lagun tables, extended dinette table and pantry landing, tongue-mounted hoist, Beech Lane refrigerator Ventilation/Evaporate Coil fans, Dreiha Atmos 4.4 A/C upgrade. 2019 GMC Savana 2500 Cargo Work Van: Explorer Limited SE, Low-Top 7 Passenger van conversion, 6.0L V8 Vortec, 6-Speed Automatic, RWD; Air-Lift LoadLifter air suspension/WirelessAir compressor; Buyers Products cargo containment boxes/DC Cargo securement system; pending transfer of DC-DC cable run and Mechman 320A high output alternator from former TV.

Not real intuitive, but the button on the main inverter (under the street-side bed) must be in the "out" position, or off, to enable the remote (mounted on the wall) to control the inverter. 3 Hull #1291 Central Idaho 2022 Elite II Tow Vehicle: 2019 Tundra Double Cab 4x4, 5.7L with tow package

Cameron Posted November 22 Posted November 22 (edited) Even with a "Code 20" on my wall mounted remote, I find that it does work to turn the inverter on and off. I did figure out how to reset the wall mounted remote to get rid of the Code 20 which I posted a few months ago. The main problem with the Code 20 is that I can't connect my Xantrex phone app to the remote, so I can't change the charging rate, etc. But if I'm boondocking for a few days, it's no big deal.
