Why is the voltage displayed on my Xantrex Monitor not correct?

  If the voltage displayed on your Xantrex Monitor is incorrect, it might be because the TM500A voltage is improperly configured for your system. If you have a 12 or 24 volt system, ensure the TM500A voltage is not configured above 35.0 volts. Conversely, for a 48 volt system, it should not be configured below 35.0 volts. To resolve this, reconfigure the TM500A for the correct system voltage.

  If the Battery State-of-Charge on your Xantrex Monitor displays "FULL" when the voltage is low, the amp-hour setting is likely too low. To fix this, reconfigure the amp-hours to match the correct battery bank size.

Why does the CHARGED LED continue to flash on my Xantrex Trace TM500A Monitor?

  Timothy RodriguezAug 11, 2025
  If the CHARGED LED on your Xantrex Monitor continues to flash even when the current flow is negative (battery discharging) for one minute, it could be that the VOLTAGE ONLY configuration for the Charged Indicator Setup is set too low. To address this, reconfigure the CHARGED voltage to an appropriate value (e.g., 12.6V for a 12-volts system). Remember that the CHARGED indicator must be manually reset to turn it OFF.

What to do if bLO displays a voltage of 00.0 on Xantrex Trace TM500A Monitor?

  Kyle PhillipsAug 17, 2025
  If the bLO on your Xantrex Monitor displays a voltage of 00.0, it is likely that the bLO meter was not configured during the initial setup or after being disconnected from the shunt. To resolve this, reconfigure the Low-Voltage Indicator (bLO) for the correct low-battery voltage.

How to fix the LED in INVERTER ON/OFF switch that does not light on Xantrex Monitor?
- D
  Dr. Mary SanchezAug 23, 2025
  If the LED in the INVERTER ON/OFF switch of your Xantrex Monitor does not light up, it might be due to the J2 plug not being properly connected to the TM500A or the inverter, or the inverter may not have a compatible jack. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the TM500A and the inverter's RC4/RC8 remote control jack. Note that the inverter remote control only operates on models equipped with an RC4/RC8 remote control input.
