Can the Midnite Classic 200, be used "Plug and Play"

I admit, I have no idea how I get myself into these things...

So helping one lady with a RV problem has lead to another lady who purchased a "Renogy 1800 watt cabin kit" I think she is uncomfortable even framing the question. I know I'm being lazy. But bed time is about an hour or 2 away, and I'm brain dead since the Air conditioning has failed at work and my brain is par-boiled...

It comes with a Classic 200 Charge controller, and she is baffled by it. I've just got a few classic lites, which would be simple to setup as Plug and play. Can a Classic be set up default, Plug and Play? She is running a 24 volt system, Can she just hook it all up close the battery breaker, then close the solar breaker? Will it default to a reasonable Charging for flooded Lead Acid Battery bank?

She has a reasonable, if undesirable, battery bank of 4 strings of 114 amp hour 12 volt "marine" deep cycle (Walley World Special) batteries. So she is in the correct charging range.

Sorry for cheating and asking the forum here, I could look it up my self, Someone on another forum even linked her the the Midnite video's, but she has some cognitive learning problems... Please I've warned her about the multiple strings of batteries, but she owns them... it is, what it is...

Hi Photowhit,

From the latest manual for FW version 2056  on page 86;

For 12, 24, 48 V batteries ...  Too low for FLA Abs,  too high for Float,  and essentially NO EQ,  as defaults,  but if you set it up with better Vs,  and it is "Entered",  it should be remembered upon power-up.

 12V      24V        48V - Battery V
______________________
Absorb (renamed from the "BulkMPPT" in manual)
14.3v    28.6v     57.2v

Float
13.6v    27.2v     54.4v

Equalize
14.3      28.6v     57.2v

The Classic series has had many firmware updates, and you might want to configure a laptop PC to update the firmware, and run the Local App (remote control from a computer) and update the system firmware and fine tune the settings for her batteries,
And when the batteries fail, replace the bank with 4, 6V 200ah golf cart batteries, better current sharing between parallel banks.

I'm 1000 miles away from her, It came frome me helping some one here, who ran of. I traked down where she had gotten some bad info at a Solar RV Facebook site. She was rudely cut off there, since her's is a fixed system. I sent her here butI don't think she felt confident enough to define her needs. I've been helping her in a discussion on Face book...

I told her about the poor choice in batteries... It is what it is...
