Title: Xantrax Pro Sine 2.5 inverter interface.
Post by: Action Fab on August 09, 2017, 11:23:47 am
Hey, guys! I'm new to the site and honestly hate to make such a post. Sadly, it seems I've hit a brick wall with my Pro Sine 2.5 inverter/charger.

From my understanding foretravel used these inverters often and many of you have dealt with failures and upgrades. I am in need of a control panel interface for my inverter. It is specific to the Xantrax Pro Sine 2.5. These have become nearly impossible to locate and I am hoping one of you has saved your old unit or maybe you have a lead on where I could find parts for one of these. My inverter is in great condition otherwise. I just can't control it till I replace my panel.

Thank you.
-Chris

You might call Eric at bio benefit energy in Costa Mesa, ca,  inverter guru.

Jb inverter repair is in chino, ca.  Another pro.

Prosine1 on the board. I just sent my unit to him and the control. Inverter was burnt up but display was good. He might not need it

Thanks, CaFlashBob, I tried contacting both. Busy signal with Eric. No answer at JB inverter repair.

DavidS, I sent him a PM. Fingers crossed.

I upgraded my led control panel to the digital readout panel years ago. If you can use my old panel and if I can find it, you can have it.

Oh wow, if so that would be great! I'd be more than happy to cover shipping and beer money of course.

Well the bad news is that I left it in the RV, and I won't be back there for a month or so.  If you still need it then, let me know.

Okay, thank you, Tom

I was referred to a guy out of Tennessee who has a panel he claims works on these units too. It's not an original Xantrax interface, but he does this stuff for a living, so I'm going to gamble on his word. I'll update with more details when it arrives.

I had him email you as I figured you might have an extra one considering I sent mine to you at no cost

Hi Dave, Not that it matters but I was offering Chris the better Advanced Control System (ACS) operator panel which goes for about $200- not the standard LED panel I got from you!

Hi Ken,

If you have a working Prosine 2.5 to sell, would sure be interested.

Hi Jim, Sorry I do not have a working unit at the moment but I am looking for dead ones to reverse engineer since Xantrex never supplied schematics or parts even to factory authorized service centers. I am doing this for the challenge and knowing that there is a need to be able to repair these units. Regards,Ken

I think Tim's is available sooner than mine if you need one soon.  If no hurry or Tim's is spoken for, PM me and we'll work something out.

We'll have to figure out boxing it up and shipping it unless you want to visit Oregon.

AM Solar moved us up to 13 Nov start date. Inverter/panel available by 20 Nov.  Maybe as early as 16 Nov, easier for me as a larger city for boxing/shipping. PM me for arrangements.  Tim's is available now if you need one sooner.

Dan,

Mid-November is good for me. I'll be in contact just before then.
