I assume that each of the Aux Outputs remain operating above the Max Vin,  all the way to the Hyper VOC Max ... Is this correct ?

Just got my Classic 150 !    Now I cannot wait to get it on-line.   Thanks Midnite!

The manual is coming along nicely as well,  thanks again !!     Vic

I think that your 150 will work up to around  225 volts or so on the input.
I tried to make them go "high" but not like, 600 Volts.   It takes a while to
go hundreds of volts.  However, if using modbus, one could just enter a voltage
and have it go right there in a flash.

I will have newer software for that as well in, like, a day or two.  I don't know if the unit
you received has all the fancy working diversion modes or not.  That was a week or week and
1/2 or so, so you may want to do the update soon.

To see  how to do this, check out this video that shows the method from USB.
Sorry, it is fuzzy on the screen and I was using test-clip leads for power on and off
rather than an actual E-Panel but it should show how to install drivers and do the deed.

No voiceover...   It's a silent movie.

Hi boB,

Thanks for the info.  I will not need the either of the Aux outputs for a while,  but just wanted to check.  On very COLD days,  may need a bit of diversion to allow the CC to awaken,  as it could be in Hyper Voc.  Was hoping that an Aux outupt could be my Voltage detector/controller in such a case.

EDIT: As my off grid sites have NO INTERNET,  I hope to drag any updating files via Thumb Drive,  and use a local computer as the update "host".  Not a real computer jock,  but hope I can figure out a way to make that work.  Have been too cheap to go to satellite internet,  but will probably need to within a few months.

73,  Thanks again.  The Classic is really a fine peice of engineering,  and getting better every day !
