Current Limit
The Classic has a current limit component which interacts with the temperature of the charge controller.
If the Classic is exposed to extremely hot ambient conditions the output current will be reduced
automatically to keep the charge controller safe. If the orange LED comes on the MNGP, it means that the
Classic is in current limit mode. If you believe the Classic is not hot and the orange LED is on, most likely
the current limit set point is too low. To check this, follow steps below.
 Press Main Menu
 Highlight the CHARGE menu and press the Enter Button
 Scroll to LIMITS and press the Enter Button
 Press the right arrow key to highlight ―Out Amps‖ or ―In Amps‖ column
 Use the up and down arrow keys to change the current limit then press the Enter Button to save
