      <div dir="ltr">I powered a MidNite LSOB transmitter from a Classic
        AUX, though the receivers didn't work with the Classic. The
        Classic is limited to 200ma output and the Tigo and APS
        transmitters are rated at up to 800ma input, so it might
        overload the Classic AUX output if they really do draw that
        much. 
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I tested an APS RSD system recently with a Classic and it
          did not work well. I believe that the Tigo transmitter is very
          similar since the APS devices say "licensed by Tigo" on them,
          So, the Tigo RSD devices may not work well with a Classic
          either. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>What I recommended while at AEE was to use a 48VDC to 12VDC
          converter to power the Tigo and APS transmitters. This works
          well. Here's the one I recommended if it's still available:  <a

            moz-do-not-send="true">mean-well/ddr30l12</a>    I never had
          any negative feedback using this with a Sol-Ark and APS
          devices. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>With a Classic in the system I've had to use the FireRaptor
          RSD devices. If you can get approval or have older modules,
          you might be able to follow the FireRaptor instructions and
          use 2 modules in series for each FireRaptor. You do still have
          to have a way to disconnect the PV output circuit from the
          Classic in order to make that circuit dead from the Classic
          end of the circuit. I did that by putting an MNPV6-disco on
          the power shed which disconnects the PV output circuit as well
          as the 24VDC to the FireRaptors. And, I am powering my
          FireRaptors at 15VDC and it works fine. </div>
