Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Scope This Manual provides safety guidelines and installation information for the Classic charge controller. It does not provide brand specific information about photovoltaic panels, batteries etc. Contact the manufacturer of other components in the system for relevant technical data. Introduction The MidNite Classic charge controller is unique in its ability to be used for a great variety of DC input sources.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 •To use the Classic’s built in DC GFP the System's DC Negative conductor must not be bonded to earth ground. The Classic does this with its internal Ground Fault Protection circuitry. The battery negative and ground are not bonded together directly but are connected together by the Classic’s internal GFP device. All negative conductor connections must be kept separate from the grounding conductor connections.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. Wear complete eye protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands with soap and warm water when done. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye, flood the eye with running cool water at once for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately following.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 *Trusting a State Of Charge meter, They can all get off over time and give you false readings, You need to verify specific gravity and or verify the charge voltage is being met.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Table 2 Table 3 The graphs above represent the max power output for a given input for each Classic. Using and understanding these power graphs will help maximize Classic’s output power and aid in selecting wire and breaker/disconnects. Notice that lower battery voltages and lower PV input voltages result in higher continuous output power. The PV voltages listed are for reference and are not intended to be the only PV voltages supported.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 For example: if you are using a Classic 250 and 48v battery bank, the maximum continuous output power based on 25 degree C ambient is 55 amps when using a PV array that yields a Maximum Power Voltage of 180 volts. The same set up using a bit higher voltage modules that result in a 200V Maximum Power voltage will result in only 53 amps.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Removing and installing the front cover on the Classic Removing the front art deco cover is required to gain access to the wiring compartment. Be aware if this is not the first removal of this cover there is a cable connecting the cover to the electronics. Do not pull hard or fast as damage could occur. To remove the front cover of the Classic in preparation for installation, remove the 4 Phillips head screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Mounting the Classic The following section covers typical mounting arrangements. If you require additional details that are not covered here please contact our technical support team. The Classic is designed to be directly mounted onto the MidNite Solar E-Panel. The Classic can accommodate other installation methods as well. Mount in an upright position out of direct sunlight when possible. For your convenience the Classic has four one inch knock outs that are pre cast.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Figure 6 Install locknut here to act as a spacer. Alternative Mounting To mount the Classic to a plywood surface, use 1 1/2” wood screws in the top key hole slot hole and the holes in the wiring compartment. Taking care to make sure the Classic is Plumb and Level. Dimensions See page67for more details.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Sealed or Vented The Classic has the ability to be sealed for protection from salt air or dust. It comes from the factory Vented. If you live in a dusty or salt air environment you may wish to seal the Classic. Sealing the Classic does not make the unit water resistant. To seal the Classic install the solid plastic knock out covers into any unused knock outs and snap the upper vent cover onto the Classic as seen in the photo below.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 WARNING: ALL FIRMWARE SHOULD MATCH ACROSS ALL CLASSICS WARNING: REVERSED FOLLOW ME CABLES CAN DAMAGE THE CLASSIC IF LEFT IN PLACE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE VERIFY THE PROPER OPERATION OF FOLLOW ME ON THE INITIAL SET UP. The Follow Me function basically is just what it is called. The Classic will simply ask the Classic to its right “What do I do now” and this propagates around the loop continually.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Addressing the Classics You can assign unique addresses to each networked Classic. This is not necessary for Follow Me to work but it is necessary if you want to view multiple Classics from a single MNGP. To address a Classic simply use the MNGP that is plugged into that Classic, or plug the MNGP into that classic and hold the Left arrow button down and tap the up or down button. The normal default address is 10 so going up will take you to 11 and down to 9.

Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Micro Hydro This mode is intended for use with hydro systems, but can be used with other sources as well. When the Classic first turns on after the input voltage goes above battery voltage, it will sweep from that open circuit voltage down to battery voltage, finding the maximum power point voltage (MPP Voltage). Then it will return to that newly found voltage. After the original turn-on sweep, the Classic will do mini sweeps at user adjustable time intervals.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 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.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Note: If you plan to use the Local App to set the time and not the Classics Display “Time Sync” in the “Tweaks” menu must be disabled to prevent the MNGP (display) from over writing what the Local App does. Configuring Auxiliary Input/Output The Classic includes two auxiliary ports which can be configured to become inputs or outputs.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 SOC % High This mode will set AUX1 to +12V according to the LOW % and HIGH % settings. HOLD (LOW) and DELAY (HIGH) activation TIMES can be set in seconds. SOC %=HIGH=12V SOC %=LOW=0.0V If the classic is set to do an auto-restart at 23:59 (midnight), the state of the AUX1 will be remembered so it will return to the last state (+12V or OFF) after it resets and comes alive again. GFP Trip High This mode sets AUX1 HIGH (+12V) for 0.1 second when a ground fault is detected.
Classic owner’s manual Rev H 2056 Pv V on Low This Mode will turn Aux 1 off above a user set voltage based on the input voltage to the Classic ( V High) and turn Aux 1 on when it hits a low voltage set point (V Low).
