DIY Manual
To reduce AF nuisance tripping:
1. Adjust AF time and sensitivity as per the Classic Owner’s Manual. Power cycle the Classic
off then on for these settings to take effect.
2. Consider re-wiring the Classic battery output closer to the batteries. In other words, if
the Classic B+ is connected to a battery positive busbar, remove that connection and run
the conductor directly to the battery via a circuit breaker. Reason - This is the point at
which any ripple from the AC loads can work back into the DC side of the Classic. And
heavy AC loads and/ or overly long inverter battery cables can make this situation worse.
Follow-Me
The Classic’s Follow-Me network shares charge mode coordination, ground fault
detection/shutdown, and battery temperature sensor (BTS) sharing. No settings are shared
amongst the Classics, such as Whiz Bang Jr info (SOC%) or AUX controls.
Wire the BTS and Whiz Bang Jr to the first Classic in the series. The first Classic shares battery
temperature data with all Classics. The Whiz Bang Jr, referencing the End Amps setting, informs
the first Classic that the batteries are full, in turn that Classic terminates the Absorb charge
cycle and transitions to Float. Via Follow-Me, the first Classic tells the other Classics to go to
Float.
Follow-Me Troubleshooting
1. Ensure all Classics have the same firmware versions.
2. Turn on Follow-Me in the Tweaks Menu.
3. The Follow-Me indicator is a blue LED located internally on the control circuit board,
toward the top half of the Classic, seen through the front cover vent.
a. Is the blue LED blinking slow (1 second) or fast (1/10 second)?
i. Slow = bad; fast = good.
4. Check the Follow-Me cables.
a. Ensure you have cross-over cables (Pin 1 goes to Pin 4 on the other end if using RJ-
11cables, or to Pin 6 if using RJ-12 cables).
b. Unplug all Follow-Me cables.
c. Go to Classic #1, observe the blue LED inside at the top, slow 1 second blink? Good.
d. Loop one of the cables from the middle jack to the bottom jack of that Classic.
e. Observe the blue LED going from 1 second to 1/10th of a second blink.
f. If so, cable is good, Classic is good.
g. If the blink is long in duration, that means the cable is bad.
h. Test all cables in the same manner.
5. Factory reset all the Classics and re-enter all the values.
