Absorb – Constant voltage charge stage to fill the batteries. The controller is regulating so maximum power will not be seen at
this time. The Absorb timer is also counting down to the switch to Float.
A-EQ-R – This will reload the Auto Equalize counters, basically it will start the counters from day 1.
AF – Arc Fault, See page 46 for more info on arc fault protection.
Arc Adjust – This menu is where you adjust the Arc Fault sensitivity. For info on Arc Fault see page 46.
A-RST – Auto reset of the Classic controller. The Classic will reboot around Midnight every night when this is enabled. This is
useful for very remote sites where a loss of Internet capability for example would be a hardship.
Aux – Auxiliary relays. The Classic has 2 relays: Aux 1 can be configured as a 12 volt signal or a dry relay, Aux 2 can be used
as a PWM signal output. Refer to page 36 for more Aux info.
BLK – Bulk MPPT Mode. By using the up arrow in Tweaks under BLK you can force the Classic into Bulk mode.
Bulk MPPT - Maximum current charge stage, the Classic is trying to bring the batteries to the Absorb voltage set point. We are
basically putting all available power into the batteries.
Comm – This menu allows adjustment of things like Mod Bus port, USB Mode and MNGP address.
DvrtCnt – When enabled, allows the charge stage timers to continue to run when the diversion modes are holding the battery
voltage just below the actual set point.
Equalize - Constant voltage charge stage to equalize the batteries. The controller is regulating so maximum power will not be
seen at this time. The Equalize timer is also counting down to the switch to Float.
EQ MPPT - Maximum current charge stage. The Classic is trying to bring the batteries to the Equalize voltage set point. We
are basically putting all available power into the batteries.
Float – Constant voltage charge stage with a lower voltage than the Absorb charge point. The controller is regulating so
maximum power will not be seen at this time.
Float MPPT – Maximum current charge stage. The Classic is trying to bring the batteries to the Float voltage set point. We are
basically putting all available power into the batteries.
FLT – Float mode. By using the up arrow in Tweaks under FLT you can force the Classic into Float mode.
GF – Ground Fault, See page 23 for more info on ground fault protection.
Got Comm – Indicates a lack of communication between the display and the Classic. Consult Troubleshooting for information
page 59.
Insomnia – This, when enabled, will keep the Classic from going to Resting. This is intended for hydro mode only where you
may need time to open water valves and do not want to wait for the Classic to wake up.
LED-MODE – This selection lets you pick the function of the 6 visible LEDs on a standard Classic.
LMX – LoMax. This enables the Classic to track the input voltage all the way down to Battery voltage. When disabled the
Classic will stop tracking the input around 5 volts above the battery voltage. When the input voltage is within a couple volts of
the battery voltage the inductors can ―Sing‖ this is usually not very loud and will do no harm.
