Xantrex Technology Xantrex Trace Series Inverter/Charger - 1500 Watt, 12 Volt, Model# TR1512-1 Questions & Answers
Inverting side working fine but charger is not
I had a similar problem at work yesterday.when your charger switches of it assumes that the battery is fully charged, while it is not.this is the solution , switch on you inverter machine and allow it to run, while it is running use a direct current "dc" multi meter a test the voltages of the batteries any one that drops like 3 volts below the normal voltage is bad. Change it and you will notice that the problem will stop. Note that when a battery is bad it takes little time to get it charged than when it is in a good condition .

I hadnever used my Xantrex Prosine 1800i 250/240 V
Unfortunately, if you put AC power on the output of the inverter, you have likely blown the output transistors. Although the inverter can produce AC, they generally do not survive AC from some other source being put onto the output. MY guess is that the inverter is shot, but repairable.
Sorry for the bad news. If I were you, I would call Xantrex and see what they say.

I really screwed up this time! My daughter was
The red light fault you experienced was from the short, which caused an 'overload' on the device. It is designed to shut itself down under such conditions so as to not cause major harm to the unit.
It may correct the fault indication after the short is removed (ie: no more playing with electronics when you are not so trained), and the unit should work again.
Your mention of the fuses being in a "very tight spot" is typical in most such devices to make them as small and inconspicuous as possible. Working on such devices requires the technical expertise in dismantling and testing, then making needed repairs before again restoring the proper construction. Be very careful because you can damage other components by not handling carefully, and with the proper equipment.

Xantrex inverter error codes
This information expands upon the error code information contained in the Link 2000 Owner?s Manual.
E-01 Inverter high DC/Battery voltage shutdown Battery voltage has risen above 15.5 VDC for 12-volt models or 31 VDC for 24-volt models.
E-02 Inverter low DC/Battery voltage shutdown Battery voltage has dropped below 10 VDC for 12-volt units or 20 VDC for 24-volt units.
E-03 Inverter or Charger overtemp shutdown Unit will reset automatically after it has cooled sufficiently.
E-04 Battery overload Caused by excessively discharged batteries. See section in inverter owner?s manual titled ?Charging overdischarged batteries.?
E-05 AC Backfeed AC power from an outside source has been fed to the AC output of the inverter. Potentially damaging to the unit. Disconnect incoming AC power and correct the situation.
E-06 Electronic Overload Inverter overload caused by too large a load or a short circuit. Reset by cycling power switch or connecting incoming AC power.
E-07 Triac control error Triac has overheated. Shut down unit and allow to cool.
E-08 High battery voltage shutdown during charge mode Check all charging sources for proper voltage. Reset by cycling the power switch.
E-09 Spare
E-10 Link 2000 de-powered This indicates that power was removed and restored to the Link 2000.
E-11 Spare
E-12 Battery #1 voltage sense leads open Blue wire is not connected to battery #1.
E-13 Battery #2 voltage sense leads open Violet wire is not connected to battery #2. E-14 Inappropriate Charged V selected for sensed voltage This value defaults to 13.2 for a 12-volt system, 26.4 for a 24-volt system. If this setting is above the voltage limits of the charging source, this error code will be displayed. Please refer to page 9 of the Link 2000 Owner?s Manual
E-15 Incoming AC polarity reversed Check incoming AC wiring for a reverse polarity condition.
CCC Indicates battery being charged. Displayed when Time remaining is selected. LO BAT More than 50% of declared capacity of battery 1 or battery 3 has been consumed.
OL Meter reading out of range U xx Designates a user setup CEF. Please read the sections pertaining to CEF on pages 19?22. A Designates Alternator output current on a Link 2000-R. is a number from 1?200. P Indicates Percent of charge mode selected. is a number from 1?100.
Inverter problems
3K is a big inverter. Depending on mfr, though, inverters put out numbers for PEAK, not AVERAGE Watts, and have trouble supplying large amounts of surge current on demand. Some appliances with large motors present large turn-on demand, like A/C's, washers, ovens, and fridges and will give converters trouble.
Your Microwave, if it's a big one, like a 1.2 or 1.3KW will ask for a lot of juice when it first turns on. But once it's on for a few seconds will probably be OK.
Get a bigger or different inverter, or a smaller microwave.

Xantrax xw6048 with 30 each 235w orion poly solar
Yes. That's what that means. 3 strings of series wired panels. Now, the panels are going to be around 30 volts (vmp), so it all depends on the input voltage of that unit. I'd check the voltage range of the charge controller. If it's limited to lets say, 192 volts max for a 48 volt system, you can do 3 strings of 6 panels to keep it under the voltage.This will give you a 4230W panel output every hour, which is substantial.

Hello
I have 40 foot
Your Freedom 458 has died. At this point, you need to isolate the batteries from the inverter / charger unit to prevent further risk of fire.
It is normal, with the fried charger, for the battery voltage to plummet even while plugged in. There is no converter to maintain them. When you start your rig, the alternator on the engine is charging the batteries. With the rapid drop in battery voltage, your inverter likely is shorted.
Remove the main battery fuse between the inverter and batteries, as well as unplug / turn off the breaker to the inverter /charger. Take your coach to the nearet service center, as it may still be under (partial?) warranty.

HAVE 2 STACKED SW4024S, AFTER
Check you line out distribution leads for a system ground with the #2 inverter disconnected. Also chect across the line out terminals onthe inverter with the distribution leads disconnected. The inverters use a floating ground vs and installed ground. If the inverter senses a ground your will read 120VAC to ground on each output terminal bu\out will read ZERO across the two terminals. If you read 120VAC across the to terminals with the dristribution leads disconnected and lose that output voltage with the leads connected then you have introduced a FIXED ground into the system. You will need to isolate where the fixed ground manifested itself as a result of connecting the new water heater.
Thanks for choosing FixYa.
