Clipper Control
This mode is intended for very basic control of the MidNite Clipper. It will send out a PWM
signal whenever the controller is unloading the turbine because the battery is full or close to
it. There are no adjustments in this mode. For best results it is strongly recommended to use
the AUX 2 Clipper Control.
Day Light
AUX 1 will turn ON at DAWN and will turn OFF at DUSK with a 2-minute DELAY.
Nite Light
AUX 1 will turn ON at DUSK and will turn OFF at DAWN with a 2-minute HOLD.
Toggle Test
AUX 1 cycles for 1-second interval between ON and OFF.
PV V on Low
When PV voltage falls below V LOW Set Point, AUX 1 will turn ON. It will stay on until PV
voltage reaches the V HIGH set point. DELAY and HOLD can also be used to further control
when AUX 1 will turn on/off. This mode can be useful for controlling a failsafe stopping
system for hydro or wind.
PV V on High
When PV voltage reaches V HIGH, AUX 1 will turn ON. AUX 1 will stay ON until PV voltage
falls below V LOW set point. DELAY and HOLD can also be used to further control when AUX
1 will turn on/off. This mode can be useful for controlling a failsafe stopping system for
Hydro or Wind.
Waste Not Lo
This mode will turn AUX 1 OFF when the Classic gets within a certain range of the voltage set
point (V HIGH) for each charging stage (Absorb, Float, EQ) and turn AUX 1 ON when it gets to
a low set point (V LOW). This mode will allow maximum diversion while maintaining 3-stage
charging. V LOW is the number of volts above or below the charging set points that you want
to turn AUX 1 ON; V HIGH is the number of volts above or below the charging set points you
want to turn AUX 1 OFF. A negative value means the change of state occurs below the set
point and a positive value means the change of state occurs above the set point. DELAY and
HOLD are functional and adjustable.
Example:
1. Float programmed in Classic at 54V.
2. Classic is currently in Float.
3. AUX 1 V Low is set at -2.0V
4. AUX 1 V High is set at -0.1V
5. Then …. when battery voltage drops to 52V, AUX 1 will turn ON. When battery voltage
rises to 53.9V, AUX 1 will turn OFF.
Waste Not Hi
This mode will turn AUX 1 ON when the Classic gets within a certain range of the voltage set
