Classic Manual Rev L
63 | P a g e 1 0 - 0 0 1 - 1 R E V L
Classic is not making
the same amount of
wattage as I have for
solar panels
First it should be noted a solar panel is rated in a lab so in the real
world we typically see about 80% of what it is labeled (i.e., a
100W panel becomes an 80W panel).
Does the Classic say Absorb, Float, or EQ? If so, that means the
battery is nearly full and the Classic is throttling back to prevent
over charging the battery.
My label is gone or I
mixed up my covers.
How do I know what
model Classic I have?
Remove the front cover and look at the stickers on the big yellow
inductors on the left side of the circuit board.
Depress the Status key several times and the Classic will read
“Classic XXX. This is your model #.
I can’t read my serial #
sticker. How can I find
my serial #
Depress the Status key several times and a screen will come up
showing “Classic XXX.” In the bottom right corner is the serial
number, it will start with a CL.
How do I know what
nominal voltage my
Classic is programmed
for?
Depress the Status key several times and a screen will come up
showing “Classic XXX.” To the right of this it will read the battery
voltage it is programmed to (i.e., 48V).
I have AUX 1
programmed properly
but I cannot get 12V
out of it
Most likely the jumpers on the bottom left corner of the circuit
board are set for a dry relay, not for a 12V signal. See the AUX
portion of the manual for help.
I was in the middle of a
firmware update and
the update got
interrupted, what do I
do?
No problem, simply start over with the update. The Classic has a
boot loader that will always look for new firmware on boot up so
you cannot damage the Classic.
Can I use wind and
solar on a single
Classic?
No, they both require drastically different tracking algorithms so
you will need two Classics.
Can I have more than
one Classic on a single
battery?
Yes, as long as they have separate PV arrays.
Do I have to shut off
my Classic if I have a
different charger
charging?
No, the Classic will work just fine in conjunction with ANY other
charger on the same battery bank.
Skip Days allows the Classic to skip the Bulk charging phase and
go directly to Float. Helpful for unattended systems, such as in a
weekend cabin. Set for number of days to skip charging. For
