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. The Classic has mounting locations and conduit locations that are similar
to other brands of charge controllers to facilitate ease of upgrading older technologies.
Mounting the Classic directly to the E Panel:
*Remove the front cover of the Classic.
*Install the mounting bracket on the E Panel and start the upper mounting screw into the bracket, leaving
it about half way out so you can hang the Classic on this screw.
*Install the 1 inch close nipple into the E Panel as shown in the E-Panel directions. The 1” close nipple, 3
locknuts and 2 plastic bushings are included with each E-Panel. One locknut acts as a spacer.
*Carefully hang the Classic on the screw in the bracket and slide it over the close nipple (see figure 4).
*Install the lock nut and bushing on the close nipple and tighten the screw in the mounting bracket.
*Don't install the front cover until you complete the wiring of the Classic.

IMPORTANT!
Do not mount in a zero clearance compartment.
Overheating may result. The Classic produces
heat in normal operation. Airflow around the
Classic is required to prevent overheating and
shutdown. This is especially true in hot
environments.
