Title: New Classic CC Manual
Post by: Vic on August 21, 2012, 05:10:25 PM
This may be well known,  but just discovered a new manual for the Classic and Classic Lite:

http://midnitesolar.com/

Scroll down to the Classic links.

Covers the Lite,  and more detailed info on Aux functions ...  have not perused it much yet.

Nice job MN,  Thanks!   Vic

Do you have the link?  The one I found on the page goes to http://midnitesolar.com/pdfs/classicManual.pdf and says it is from 2010.

Hi David,

When I try your link,  I do get to the manual that I was referring to.

The previous manual was dated 2-??-12.  The  new one is obviously fairly recent,  as it includes the Classic Lite.   I did not find a date,  altho did not look very carefully.

Hi,

Yes, I agree, there is a new manual release, including the Classic Lite specifications.

I downloaded it a month ago on 07/22/2012.

As said in a previous post, I hoped to see a release date and release version included in the next versions (on the first page, in the bottom of each page, on the last page...) to be certain to read and refer to the latest.

It shows the Classic Lite but then the 2nd page says the document is Copyright 2010 with no other dates mentioned for the document.  It would be nice as Yann mentioned if the document stated on the very first page a revision and/or date of the document.

Hi Yann,  David,

I know that you guys are not beating up on MidNite.

Seems to me that all the MN people are very busy now.  I am quite happy with the FW revs for the Classic,  and the release of the Classic Lite.

Often we note that a document shows up,  and later gets improved etc.  Since there is only one Classic manual on the MN site now,  it must be the latest (obviously).

Believe that MN is still a surprisingly small company  ...  they get more formal doc control/release methods later.  Part of me might regret a high level of formal control,   as it might go a bit against the free-form way things are now.

Who am I to say,  but I sure love the creative spirit,  sense of humor,  and involvement of MN's Tech folks with their customers.   Would hate to see that diminished ...    Mileage May Vary,   Vic
