Classic owner’s manual Rev I 2193
64 |
P a g e 1 0 - 0 0 1 - 1 R E V : I
have WBjrs for about 15 minutes longer on the absorb time this will ensure the
Classic with the WBjr goes to float first.
*If you are using End Amps make sure you use the Classic with the WBjr to do
the sensing of End Amps.
I don’t see a WBjr status
screen or I don’t see all
the settings shown in the
manual?
*If the WBjr status menu is not present or does not match the manual then you
most likely have older firmware. We recommend updating the firmware and
doing a factory restore. (Warning all settings will be lost) The firmware can be
found on our website under the ―software‖ tab. Or at the URL below.

My State of Charge
seems inaccurate?
*Verify the neutral temperature for the temp comp is set per the battery
manufacturers specs (typically 25C)
*Verify the Amp Hours of the battery bank is set properly (Note batteries in a
string do not add in amp hours, so if you have a single string of 8 golf cart
batteries each having 220AH then you have 220AH of capacity)
*Verify the efficiency of the battery is set properly according to the battery
manufacturer’s specs (typically 94%)
Classic says ―Arc Fault‖
on the display and is
making a loud beeping
noise
* This is generally indicating you have a bad connection somewhere causing
arcs, This can be anywhere in the system so generally finding it is easier if you
can turn things off and see what causes the Fault to clear.
*This also can be caused by loads etc. and be a nuisance trip. Please see the
manual for help with that
My Classic keeps going
back to address 10 after
I readdress it to
something else
*There was a bug in older firmware that would cause this. We recommend
updating the firmware and doing a factory restore. (Warning all settings will be
lost) The firmware can be found on our website under the ―software‖ tab. Or at
the URL below.

I am having issues
connecting my Classic
directly to my PC
without a Router
*We advise against this as it is more complicated than most people feel
comfortable with. We recommend a cheap router for this as it makes it much
easier. The way to think about this is the Computer and Classic have NO
address until the Router addresses them so if we must go direct we have to
address both of them.
*To do a direct connection we recommend a cross over Ethernet cable. Then
you need to set the Classic to a static IP say 192.168.1.5 then you need to go
into the IPV4 properties on the PC and set it for a static IP also of say
192.168.1.2
Note the important part here is that the first 3 sets of numbers match
192.168.1.xxx for example and that the LAST sets of numbers do NOT match
as this is the unique identifier of where each item is. You will not need to
worry about Gateways or DNS IPs for this connection. For more help with this
see our video on direct connection to Classic or consult your network guru
