Any word about the "OCP off" message!!!!!

reddog,

That's OCP = Over Current Protection and is only on some Classics.  Any Classic can show that message but it
shouldn't really be showing up.  I mean, doing that VMM should have stopped it.
Could you please go into the version/date information screen (press status a few times) and report
back the version and dates ?   We are also testing some new software/firmware this week and would
like to make sure this does not happen.

Thanks,
boB

BTW: you guys are doing a great job, bugs are normal, (being a senior engineer for a large cable company I run across like issues all the time) and you interaction and response is fantastic! keep up the good work!

[boB]

Thank you reddog !   I'll check out your versions and dates tomorrow.

Did you do a second VMM ??  Just in case

Just installed 1070 beta last night. Also have the OCP IS OFF!, it continually flashes this message when in BULK MPPT but does not seem to
affect the 150's normal operation.
I have also noticed when using the local app that the BASIC CONFIG sets the default Equalise voltage to the same as the Asorb voltage, on my 150 its set to 28.8  When I change the Eq voltage up to 31v and save it then while in CONFIG and can go from BASIC to ADVANCED to TECH and back and the new Eq voltage is there. However if I leave CONFIG and go to STATUS or DATA or anywhere else then go back into CONFIG the Eq voltage has went back to the same as Absorb at 28.8
This works fine on my other 150 with 1043 firmware
Have I missed something or is this a gremlin ?

tried 3 times with new VMM no luck still have error.

On the EQ from Local App reverting to Absorb voltage, that was a bug in the Local App.
I thought that was fixed now ??  I guess not ?   I will bug them to get the newest one up
that fixes this.  I thought it was already up on the site.

On the OCP is OFF, it won't stop anything from working but is definitely a nuisance.

I will be posting the link to a new beta version that I would like you two to try.

Check back tomorrow morning or afternoon PDT.

It is fixed but not released. Andrew has not officially released the version of the app with these fixes in it. I will chat with him today and see when he anticipates doing so.

I don't suppose you are using the Local App to communicate with the Classic ??

I found an anomaly today where the present Local App can cause OCP IS OFF when
one goes to the TECH config menu and changes a check-box such as Ground Fault
and clicking the ENTER icon.

May not be an issue with your Classic but I wanted to mention it at least.
