Dynamic
This is typically used for PV (solar) input sources and tries to follow, on a slow dynamic basis, the
changing conditions of the input source. This mode has one user adjustment which is a forced sweep
perturb trigger interval for times when the input condition changes do not trigger a dynamic sweep. The
interval is in units of minutes.
U-Set VOC%
This is a fully manual mode based on a percentage of VOC. The Classic will sweep based on the user set
time in minutes and then park at a user set percentage of the VOC the Classic found on that sweep. This
mode is useful for testing or constant voltage sources.
Note: Mode must be manually turned ON after changing the mode. To turn the mode ON highlight the
OFF under ON/OFF and switch it to ON. Press enter to save this change.
