Sealed or Vented
The Classic has the ability to be sealed for protection from salt air or dust. It comes from the factory
Vented. If you live in a dusty or salt air environment you may wish to seal the Classic. Sealing the Classic
does not make the unit water resistant. To seal the Classic install the solid plastic knock out covers into
any unused knock outs and snap the upper vent cover onto the Classic as seen in the photo below. Note
that the Classic will be slightly de-rated (will put out less power) by sealing it. Refer to the specifications
page of this manual for the ratings in the sealed mode. To obtain the parts necessary to seal the Classic
please contact our Technical Support Team and ask for MNCLSEALKIT. Refer to Figure 8 and 9
Battery Temperature Compensation
The Classic comes with a battery temperature sensor (BTS). This sensor raises or lowers charge voltage
based on temperature. Connect BTS to the BATT TEMP jack. (Refer to Battery Temperature Sensor
Installation20)The Battery temperature menu appears as T-Comp in the BATTERY MENU. In this menu
you can change the voltage compensation as needed. If the BTS is disconnected or shorted the Classic will
automatically default to 25C on the Battery temperature. Also the Classic has the ability to change the
neutral temperature (typically 25C) this setting can be found in the WBjr set up.
“Follow-ME” Charging coordination
Follow-Me will allow Classics to share charge stages, as well as Battery temperature info and Ground
fault coordination. Follow-Me also allows you to program a single Classic for Equalize charging and it
will instruct all the others to Equalize as well. You do need to set the Equalize parameters in each Classic.
For the Battery Temp sensor you will only need one BTS and it can be on any of the Classics.
