Anyone mounted a Classic to a PS2DC enclosure

[LostInTheBog]

Replacing my old MX60. Would like to hang the Classic in the same place, right side of PS2DC load centre. This required an optional bracket set for the MX60. Can't imagine I'll be lucky enough to reuse that... or even to find somebody who knows!

do you have a photo ?
I am not familiar with how the Outback was mounted .

Thanks, as soon as I can find a minute I'll scan a few shots from the installation manual. I'll have to fiddle with the contrast a bit cuz they're not super clear, but would be more informative than a shot of my system. (I don't think I ever had a pdf... time to dredge up some old backup disks perhaps.)

In the meantime...

The MX mounts to two brackets that position it right up against the PS2DC such that the front and bottom edges of the two enclosures are aligned, as are the 1" knockouts in the bottom right side of the load center / bottom left side of the MX so they can be close-nippled together.

The MX attaches to the top bracket by its centered keyhole-style hanger hole in the rear plate that protrudes above the enclosure, and to the bottom bracket by 4 screws through the rear of the wiring compartment.

OK I'm all set to post photos but it looks like I have to stick them online somewhere and link. Unsurprising I guess. I'll figure it out...

There is probably a limit of the size of the image that can be Attached,  perhaps around 5 Megs.

If that is not your issue,  have you found this text,  just below the box where you enter the text of your post,   it reads, 
"Click or drag files here to attach them"?

OR,  are you having different issues ??

Thankd, Vic

Derp, no I missed that. That's what I get for doing stuff in a hurry on my tiny phone screen, thanks Vic. So here we go, first one is exactly what my system currently looks like except I have only one inverter and I have the Mate mounted elsewhere. Second photo is from the section on mounting the MX.

Seems like you should be able to mount the Classic on there . Of course you may need to drill some new mounting holes. And if the side holes don't line up you may need to either drill new holes in your breaker box for wires to go through , or use some conduit offsets.
It will just take a bit of fiddling to get it to work and some of that will depend on if you want it to be perfect looking in addition to being electric safe.

Kinda what I was thinking but I thought I might get lucky and run across someone who'd actually "been dere dun dat."

Sorry about the late response. I got busy and forgot the thread for a bit.

no problem - you will figure out a way to get it on there !

Well I finally got around to swapping controllers and after all this gnashing of teeth -- the Classic is absolutely a bolt-in replacement for the MX60 mounted to the PS2DC. I needed one more locknut for the 1" close nipple that connects the enclosures (for a spacer between) but everything lines up.

It's almost as if the same people were involved in the two products. 

Amusing sidenote - the password for advanced programming on the Outback products (at least of this vintage) is 141. The password for the Classic is 142. Again - remarkable coincidence... not.

Not sure I have ever seen any passwords for Classics unless you put one in somehow.

Classic password in the MNGP is 142  if it is enabled.

If my memory serves, we copied the mounting holes from the Outback 60A controller for simplicity in upgrading
