Classic 250 cp x2 follow-me help

[The Ugly One]

I bought 2 classic 250 cp and heard that I can make them do the follow me by connecting them to my sma si-6048-us-10. Has anyone done this successfully? And if so please enlighten me with the knowledge.

The Classic 250-CP does not do follow me or communicate with the SMA, The standard classics can do both, but do require the mnsicomm to talk to the SMA

Ok so I was confused on what someone else said.

So then how can I configure both classic 250 cp to charge 1 48v forklift battery without them interfering with eachother?

I think you can just program them and they will work individually and regulate more or less at the same .
Or you can set one of them a bit lower absorb voltage so it cuts off earlier.

Yes, this should work.  If the Sunny Island is also going to charge the batteries from grid or generator, you might want to adjust the charge voltages of the Classics slightly higher than the S.I. like maybe 0.2 or 0.3 volts higher.  This way, if there is sun but the S.I. is charging, then the Classics will be more apt to pull their weight rather than the S.I. doing all of the work.

Ok thanks. So the classic 250 cp models CAN NOT connect to the mnsicomm then to the sunny island si6048-us-10. I had a downer of a solar store tell me yesterday that all k would need is to buy the mnsicomm and plug them in. I want it all to work properly but I dont want to waste my time and money.

No the Carpoff or CP will not connect to the MNSICOMM

Thanks just wanted to double and triple check since I do like telling people they are ill-informed on the facts. I will be setting up these systems the next couple weeks so I will be back.

Have you seen the thread where these are posted for sale? There seems to be some talk in there about creative ways of communication. http://midniteftp.com/forum/index.php?topic=4606.0

Yes but according to some higher intellectual beings on this forum they state that it can not work the way mentioned. So I dont want to fry anything more than what I have and am taking their word for it.
