The SAGEON VIGIL should be mounted at eye level for easy access and display viewing. The unit
requires only one rack space for mounting. No precautions are necessary for internal cooling. If the unit
is to be mounted over high heat producing equipment, such as a ferro-resonant rectifier, a heat shield
should be installed between the units.
2.3 CABLING REQUIREMENTS
All connections to the SAGEON VIGIL utilize screw terminal connections. Care should be exercised to
tighten the screws without breaking the wires. Make sure there is no bare wire showing that could
possibly short to other wires. Good electrical contact should be checked for each connection.
Stranded 20 - 24 AWG wire is recommended for screw terminal connections. This type of wire is readily
available in single twis ted p air s , or m ultiple-conductor jacketed cabling to facilitate the typical wiring
associated with this monitor & controller product.
Overall system performance and safety depends on the proper wiring and the installation of inline
protection devices where needed. Cable runs that will utilize overhead cable racks should be plenum

SAGEON VIGIL PRODUCT MANUAL
rated jacketed cables and carefully routed to protect the wiring to the SAGEON VIGIL.
2.4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OUTLINE
WARNING: The SAGEON VIGIL utilizes connections to battery for power and sensing connections that
must include inline protection (fuses or current-limiting resistors) to eliminate potential
hazards to personnel and equipment due to accidentally shorted battery connections.
GENERAL PROCEDURE OUTLINE
Verify the part number on the SAGEON VIGIL conforms to the voltage of the power plant before
installation. The SAGEON VIGIL functions with +/-24 Vdc or +/-48 Vdc input power without
adjustment. Maximum voltage input is 60 Vdc; minimum is 20 Vdc.
Locate the unit as directed in the “Selecting a Location” section and mount with four standard rackmount screws; two of the screws must have “Paint-Cutting” washers installed to assure proper
grounding for ESD protection.
Locate power source and sense points for battery power, battery voltage and load voltage connections.
These connections must be fused at the source with inline protection or utilize a sense and control panel
connection. Ideally, both the battery and ground leads should be protected. The minimum requirement is
a fuse in the battery leg. A separate ground lead should be run to one of the common Plant Ground
(PLANT GND, TB2 pins 2-12 and 21-24) screw terminals. This connection references the SAGEON
VIGIL internal ground to the power plant ground reducing noise levels and providing a convenient plant
ground connection point for ground closures on output relays.
Locate each sense point for measuring battery/plant voltage to determine what type of inline protection
and cable routing is required.
Locate rectifier connections for Equalize, Restart, HVSD inputs, and RFA outputs to determine
connection requirements. The connections for Equalize, Restart, and HVSD MUST all be battery OR
ground closures simultaneously e.g. Equalize CANNOT be a battery closure while HVSD and Restart
are ground closures. This information determ ines the connection to the common “control return” (CTRL
RTN) on the SAGEON VIGIL. The RFA inputs are ground closures.
Note: Determine best cable routing to the rectifier connections. The Equalize, Restart, and HVSD
connections can be “daisy chained” as necessary. The SAGEON VIGIL accepts up to 16 individual RFA
inputs.
Locate fuse alarm (FA IN) connection points. Five individual inputs are provided for Charge,
Discharge, Battery, Sense/Control, and one Spare. Multiple discharge fuse alarms can be “daisy
chained” if desired.
Fuse alarms are battery voltage inputs. Inline fuse protection is recommended if these connections must
utilize overhead cable runs. Determine best cable routing, connection requirements.
Note: Do not use inline resistors for protection on fuse alarms as SAGEON VIGIL internal sensing
circuits will be adversely affected and may fail to register fuse alarms; fuses must be used instead.
PM990-3002-00, Issue 3 2-2
SAGEON VIGIL PRODUCT MANUAL
Two ground closure true inputs are provided for CEMF Cell alarm inputs (CEMF1 & CEMF2). If a
CEMF Cell is included verify it provides the proper input. No inline protection is required for ground
closure type inputs. Determine the best cable routing, connection requirements.
A ground closure true input is provided for a Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) alarm. If a Low Voltage
Disconnect is included, verify it provides the proper input. No inline protection is required for ground
closure type inputs. Determine the best cable routing, connection requirements.
If Ambient (AMB) and battery temperature (TS1 & TS2) sensors are included, determine the mounting
locations. The ambient sensor should be bolted to a large thermal mass, such as the rack itself, to limit
response to short term changes.
Two battery temperature sensor inputs are provided for up to two battery strings. Sensors are
designed with tin (or tin/lead) plated ring lugs to be connected with battery strap hardware. Sensor
detection circuits are isolated from battery potential. Sensors come with 30 ft. leads, which can be
extended with butt splices if necessary.
Cable runs in excess of 100 ft. may degrade temperature readings due to voltage drops and noise. No
inline protection is required for temperature sensors. Determine best cable routing, connection
requirements.
The alarm output relays are the last consideration. The user must determine the local requirements such
as the presence of a central alarm monitor or separate audible or visual alarm panels. All the output relays
are normally de-energized except the Major and Watchdog alarm, which is energized for fail safe
operation. All relays are rated at 60W, 62.5VA.
All alarm output relays are Form C, and can provide either normally open or normally closed connections.
Ground closure alarms can utilize the Plan t Groun d scr ew term inals for jumpers to the common
connection on the output relays. Determine best cable routing connection requirements.
2.5 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The following topics provide guidelines and suggestions to facilitate wiring the SAGEON VIGIL in a fast
and efficient manner, producing a quality installation that looks professional and li mits potential
problems.
Sketch out the wire routing from the SAGEON VIGIL on paper to determine the best routing that allows
the maximum number of wires to be bundled together from the SAGEON VIGIL to the furthermost
possible connection point. Creating wiring bundles facilitates routing and provides protection to
individual wires.
Always use multi-conductor twisted pair or jacketed cables whenever possible. Start cabling from the
SAGEON VIGIL. If same color coded wires must be used repeatedly, use sticky wire labels to uniquely
label each wire. This will greatly speed up the wiring process at the destination end and make
troubleshooting easier.
Familiarize yourself with the screw terminal board layout before starting the wiring process. Refer to
Signal Identifier Label fo r s c rew terminal labelin g located on the top panel of the SAGEON VIGIL.
Develop a wiring progression such as power, analog, fuse alarms, etc. This will help eliminate wiring
errors or missed connections.
PM990-3002-00, Issue 3 2-3
SAGEON VIGIL PRODUCT MANUAL
The SAGEON VIGIL power inputs are protected against reverse polarity. The analog inputs are polarity
sensitive. Reversed connections will not cause any damage but the SAGEON VIGIL w ill be un ab le to
read the input. This requirement can be confusing.
Before starting the general plant wiring, lay any ground jumpers between output relay commons, CTRL
RET, and Plant Grounds that are required. These connections can limit wiring access when added over
the other plant wiring. The SAGEON VIGIL provides pluggable screw terminal blocks for ease of wiring.
Take care to properly insert and seat the terminal blocks after wiring. If front access is required be sure to
leave enough cable length (~3-4 ft) to remove the VIGIL from the rack without disconnecting the
terminal blocks.
2.6 WIRING THE SAGEON VIGIL
The installer should be familiar with the wiring connections to the SAGEON VIGIL. The PN 103-3002LXX and SD 103-3002-LXX drawings should be available for reference to the actual SAGEON VIGIL
connections and typical wiring diagrams.
2.6.1 2Plant Ground
Determine plant ground jumper requirements for output relays from the data information sheet.
“Daisy chain” jumpers with black wire, if possible, from the Plant GRD screw terminals to the
common (C) connection on each relay requiring a ground closure.
2.6.2 Battery
Begin with the power connections to the SAGEON VIGIL running a fused Battery connection to the
BAT pin on the SAGEON VIGIL. Several Ground leads should be run for power and plant ground
connections. The power GRD return and the PLANT GROUND should be jumped together, but use
separate wiring to a central ground point on the power plant to minimize noise pick-up. (See the PN
drawing)
Note: See the PN 103-3002-LXX drawing Table E for SAGEON VIGIL power fusing requirements.
2.6.3 Battery voltage and FCCP inputs
Note: Analog inputs for Plant voltage, Load voltage and temperature sensors should be left open at
the measurement (sense) point on the power plant at installation to facilitate calibration
zeroing, which requires shorting the leads.
Connect the fused Plant Voltage sense leads to the VB+ and VB- terminals on the SAGEON VIGIL,
verifying the proper polarity. (See the PN drawing)
Connect the FCCP sense leads to the FCCP1+ and FCCP- terminals on the SAGEON VIGIL, verifying
the proper polarity. (See the PN drawing)
PM990-3002-00, Issue 3 2-4
SAGEON VIGIL PRODUCT MANUAL
WARNING: Accidental shorting of the sense leads from the FCCP current probes controller may cause
permanent damage to the probe controller. Extreme care must be used when wiring the FCCP probes to
the VIGIL. It is suggested that the connection to the FCCP controller not be made until the twisted pair
cable has been securely seated in the connector housings at both ends.
Connect any additional FCCP sense lead s start ing at FCCP2+ & FCCP2- up to FCCP10+ & FCCP10-.
These inputs must also be connected with the proper polarity. (See the PN and SD drawings for help with
these connections)
Connect the ambient and battery temperature sensors to their respective inputs: AMB (ambient) and TS1
& TS2 for battery temperature sensors. Each sensor requires a connection to power (P), tem peratu re
return (R), and temperature signal input (S). These connections correspond to the red, black, and blue
leads (respectively) of the temperature sensors. (See the PN drawing)
WARNING: Improper temperature sensor connection may damage the sensors. Always verify proper
connections, and avoid shorting leads, especially when connecting to a powered SAGEON VIGIL. The
temperature sensor return lead (RT N) is isolated, and MUST NOT be connected to PLANT
GROUND.
Connect the fused load vo lt ag e sense leads to the VL+ & VL- terminals on the SAGEON VIGIL,
verifying the proper polarity. (See the PN drawing)
This completes the analog input connections. Stop and verify these connections. Go to the Analog
Channel Calibration section next.
2.6.4 Binary Inputs
1
Binary inputs consist of 2 CEMF Cell alarm inputs, 5 Fuse Alarm (FA) inputs, 1 Low Voltage Disconnect
(LVD) Alarm, and 16 Rectifier Fail (RFA) alarms. The Binary inputs require pre-defined inputs for proper
operation. Refer to PN 103-3002-LXX and SD 103-3002-LXX drawings for typical wiring diagrams. (See
the PN drawing)
CEMF Cell alarm inputs require a ground closure input. Verify the CEMF Cell to be monitored can
provide this type of alarm output before proceeding. Alarm leads are connected to the +CEMF1 or
+CEMF2 input terminals. The -CEMF1 and -CEMF2 connections are not required, but can be jumpered
to PLANT GROUND and used with twisted pair cable runs for noise suppression if desired.
Note: UNIPOWER CEMF Cells do not typically provide an alarm output. They do provide a fuse alarm
that can be connected to the spare fuse (SP) alarm input to provide some measure of direct monitoring if
desired.
Fuse Alarm inputs require a battery input. Five Fuse alarm inputs are provided to divide these alarms into
charge (CH), discharge (DIS), battery (BAT), sense/control (S/C), and a spare input (SP) that can be used
as desired (see 2.6.4.1). Route and terminate these connections carefully due to their battery potential
when alarmed.

PM990-3002-00, Issue 3 2-5
SAGEON VIGIL PRODUCT MANUAL
Note: Plant Ground (PGND) and (GRD) must be connected to the grounded terminal of the batteries for
the fuse alarms to function properly. See PN drawing for typical connections.
The Low Voltage Disconnect alarm input requires a ground closure input. Verify the LVD to be
monitored can provide this type of output before proceeding. The alarm lead is connected to the (LVD)
input terminal.
The Rectifier Fail alarm inputs require a ground closure input. Verify the Rectifiers to be monitored can
provide this type of output before proceeding. The SAGEON VIGIL can monitor up to 16 individual
Rectifier fail alarm leads that are connecte d in sequenc e to the (RFA) input terminals.
The Control Inhibit (INH) input requires a ground closure input. The Control Inhibit (INH) input
relinquishes control functions from the SAGEON VIGIL. When triggered the Control Inhibit will disable
the Rectifier ReStart (RS), Equalize (EQ), and High Voltage ShutDown (HVSD) control output relays.
The SAGEON VIGIL will continue to monitor all input channels and provide alarm condition relay
outputs when Control Inhibit is active. See section 2.6.5 for information about the control relays.
This completes the Binary input connections. Stop and verify these connections. See Enabling Channels
section after the installation wiring is complete.
2.6.5 Control Relays
The SAGEON VIGIL provides three rectifier control outputs: Equalize (EQ), High Voltage Shutdown
(HVSD), and Restart (RS). These Form A, normally open, relay outputs share a common control
connection to CTRL RET. This connection must be tied to the appropriate potential, either plant ground
or battery. Most applications will require a ground closure. In either case, all three outputs MUST utilize
the same common output potential or the user must decide which outputs he can use appropriately.
The Equalize (EQ) output provides an operator initiated manual timer or a voltage initiated automatic
timer. If this control feature is desired, determine if the rectifiers support this function and what type of
input is required. The CTRL RET terminals are common to one another and must be jumpered to the
proper potential. Multiple rectifiers can be daisy chained with a lead from the EQ output. See Fig. 6 of
PN drawing and Setting Up Equalize section in this manual.
The High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD) output provides a triggered output from the user settable HVSD
threshold. If this control feature is desired, determine if the rectifiers support this function and what type
of input is required. The CTRL RET terminals are common to one another and must be jumpered to the
proper potential. Multiple rectifiers can be daisy chained with a lead from the HV output. See Fig. 6 of
PN drawing and Setting Up HVSD & Restart section in this manual.
The Restart (RS) output provides a triggered output from the user settable low voltage LV threshold. If
this control feature is desired, determine if the rectifiers support this function and what type of input is
required. The CTRL RET terminals are common to one another and must be jumpered to the proper
potential. Multiple rectifiers can be daisy chained with a lead from the RS output. See Fig. 6 of PN
drawing and Setting Up HVSD & Restart section in this manual.

Thresholds section after the installation wiring is complete.
2.6.6 Alarm Output Relays
The output relays all provide Form C relay contacts supporting normally open or normally closed
connections. Two sets of Major and Minor contacts are provided for separate remote monitoring and local
annunciation panels. The Major alarm and CUR/WD relays are normally energized for fail safe operation.
All other relays are normally de-energized. An Auxiliary relay is user programmable. See Programming
the Auxiliary Relay section of this manual. The relays requiring ground closures should have been
jumpered to PLANT GRD at the beginning of the wiring process. Refer to the PN drawing figures for
assistance in wiring the output relays.
The SAGEON VIGIL also supports an internal audible alarm that can be user programmed to trigger from
various alarm outputs. Refer to Setting Up The Audible Alarm section of this m anual for programm ing
instructions.
Verify ground closure jumpers to common (C) terminals on designated output relays and modify
connections if necessary. Ground closure relays should be jumpered to PLANT GND and can be daisy
chained as necessary.
The two Major output relays are normally energized. These outputs are triggered by an FA, VLVA,
LVD, HVSD, WD, CUR (over/under-current), or any two RFA’s, TA, CEMF, LVA or HV alarms.
Connections to powered annunciation panels should be kept separate from remote alarm connections.
Make the connection to the normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) terminals as required. If
necessary the Aux relay can be configured as another Major output relay.
Note: The labels for ALL output relays are provided in the de-energized state. e.g. The NO labeled
contact of the Major alarm relay will be closed during regular operation (no-alarm/relay energized);
likewise, the NC labeled contact of the Major alarm relay will be open.
The two Minor output relays are normally de-energized. These outputs are triggered by a single RFA,
CEMF, LV, HV, or TA alarm. Connections to powered annunciation panels should be kept separate from
remote alarm connections. If necessary, the Aux relay can be configured as another Minor output relay.
Make the connection to the normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) terminals as required.
The other output relays HVA, LVA, VLA, FA, LVD, RFA, TEMP, CEMF, and CUR/WD
(WATCHDOG) are generally only used when a remote alarm call-out device is part of the power plant or
with an alarm monitor panel in a large central office. Make the connection to the normally open (NO) or
normally closed (NC) terminals as required.
The Control Inhibit (CTRL INH) relay is triggered by the Inhibit input, which causes to VIGIL to
relinquish control of the power plant. This relay would only be used in a large power plant where the
SAGEON VIGIL was designated as a back up monitor/controller. This relay would confirm the status of
the SAGEON VIGIL. Contact the Factory for information on implementing master/slave control scheme.
The Auxiliary (AUX) relay is a user definable relay and can be configured to trigger of any ONE of any
number of alarms. The Auxiliary relay can be triggered from any (1) of the following: a MAJOR,
MINOR, SINGLE RFA, ANY RFA, PLANT OVER-CURRENT, SINGLE FEED OVER-CURRENT,
ANY OVER-CURRENT, HVSD, CTRL INH, SINGLE FA, STR 2 TEMP DIFF, STR1 TEMP DIFF,

2.7 WIRING THE CELL MONITORING EXPANSION
Note: Refer to the datasheet for specific wiring information. Be sure to add wire color
references as connections are completed. Should actual wiring require any changes update the
datasheet immediately. The PN 103-3002-LXX drawing provides general wiring diagrams for the
typical CELL MONITORING EXPANSION connections, mechanical views, and fusing information.
SD 103-3002-LXX will also be helpful in determining typical wiring connections.
At this point, the installer should have a wiring plan that provides the most efficient cable routing.
The installer should be familiar with the wiring connections to the SAGEON VIGIL. T he PN 1033002-LXX and SD 103-3002-LXX drawings should be available for reference to the actual CELL
MONITORING EXPANSION connections in addition to this manual.
2.7.1 Power
Power should be connected to the BAT+ and BAT- terminals of the 3 position screw terminal block
header located on the rear of the unit. Be careful to observe polarity of the connections. The
SAGEON VIGIL and CELL MONITORING EXPANSION can utilize +/-24Vdc or +/-48Vdc
plant/battery voltage without jumpering or modification. A separate connection to chassis ground
must also be provided at this terminal if paint cutting washers are not used to mount the CELL
MONITORING EXPANSION in the rack at the time of installation. See the following table and Fig.
