The cooling fan on my Prosine 2.0 inverter is not working. I called up Xantrex to see if they could supply a schematic or repair the cooling fan. They would not supply a schematic, liability issues, and said it would cost to much to replace the board to make it feasible. We all know these inverters are not cheap. Does anyone know where I can obtain a schematic or get this repaired ? Without cooling the onboard charger will not get past the bulk charge mode. I run 2 in synch mode to get the 240VAC . Xantrex did say they are bringing back the 2.0 in the next few weeks and will offer 30% trade in for an older 2.0. If they still market them for 1750 it would cost $1250. Which is a good deal on a new 2kw inverter. I do not know if running a new/old in synch mode will work. Support could not answer that question yet.

Fan Replacement
Can you get dimensions on the fan, is it practical to remove? Maybe an electronics fan (or 2) can be
adapted to do the job. Fan performance is not usually very critical in the operation; just move some
air. If it has a red and a black wire, might be a 12V DC fan. 3 wires, a controlled or variable speed
fan. Failing all that, just placing a substantial fan next to it from convenient power source could solve
the problem. Bruce Roe -
DIY Cooling
I thought I might do that .... hook up the fan to the PLC which has a thermocouple card and control it through that logic. They are neat inverters the Prosine 2.0 . Very versatile. I have lead acid BATT hookup right now.. the goal is to get the Nickel Iron BATT in place. The Prosine has a NiCad / NiFe setting for grid charging.Comment
