display), current readings with +/-0.2% accuracy and temperature readings within 1/2
o
F.
•The information displayed (in the default mode) on the front panel of the SAGEON
PSMC I is plant voltage, plant current, and the number of active alarms. When the
Load Voltage channel has been enabled, the front panel will change to show the plant
voltage, load voltage, current, and the number of active alarms. If an ambient
temperature sensor is attached, it can be set up to toggle display with the plant current
on the default screen (CONFIGURE MENU). Optionally, the sum of the feeder
currents can be shown in place of the plant current if the “SUM” feature is selected
from the idle display configuration menu.
•Four front panel push buttons provide access to all menus for general channel
polling, alarm status determination, system configuration, calibration, and testing.
•15 analog channels predefined for plant voltage, plant current, load voltage, 9 feeder
and/or rectifier shunts, and three temperature sens ors (ambient & 2 battery string).
•5 binary fuse alarm (FA) inputs for Charge, Discharge, Sense/Control, Battery, and

SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
CHAPTER TWO: SAGEON PSMC I INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 These instructions provide general information for installing the SAGEON PSMC I in custom
applications as a stand alone unit. Units ordered as part of custom power plants will be
installed, wired, and tested at the factory. These instructions are meant to be used with the
SAGEON PSMC I product drawings PN 103-2999-XX and a datashe et for detai lin g the
application specific wiring and programming. If the appropriate drawings are not included in
this manual, contact Customer Support at 954-346-2442.
2.1.2 If questions or problems arise during installation, please call one of our Field Service
technicians at 954-346-2442 for assistance. A name plate on the bottom of the cabinet gives
the part number for the SAGEON PSMC I. Reference this number when requesting service.
2.1.3 To install the SAGEON PSMC I you will need:
o Standard installation tools
o Standard small screwdriv er for screw term inals (i.e. Xcelite® USA R3322)
o PN drawing set
o Inline fuses and/or resistors
o Datasheet (for detailing wiring and setup)
2.2 SELECTING A LOCATION
Note: This procedure assumes a custom SAGEON PSMC I installation in an existing power plant.
2.2.1 The SAGEON PSMC I 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
2.3.1 All connections to the SAGEON PSMC I 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.
2.3.2 Solid 20 - 24 AWG wire is recom mended for screw terminal connections. This typ e of wire is
readily available in single twisted pairs, or multiple-condu ctor jack et ed cabl ing to facil itate
the typical wiring associated with this monitor & controller product. If solid conductors are
NOT used, then “tinning” the end of the conductor is suggested.
2.3.3 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 jacketed and carefully routed to protect the wiring to the SAGEON PSMC I.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 2-1
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
2.4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OUTLINE
WARNING: The SAGEON PSMC I utilizes connections to battery for power and sensing
GENERAL PROCEDURE OUTLINE
2.4.1 Verify the part number on the SAGEON PSMC I conforms to the voltage of the power
plant before installation. The SAGEON PSMC I functions with +/-24 Vdc or +/-48 Vdc
input power without adjustment. Maximum voltage input is 60 Vdc; minimum is 20 Vdc.
2.4.2 Locate the unit as directed in the “Selecting a Location” section and mount with four
standard rack-mount screws; two of the screws must have “Paint-Cutting” washers
installed to assure proper grounding for ESD protection.
2.4.3 Locate power source and sense points for battery power, plant 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 PSMC I internal ground to the
power plant ground reducing noise levels and providing a convenient plant ground
connection point for ground closures on output relays.
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.
2.4.4 A list of connections should be created for all the SAGEON PSMC I wiring before actual
wiring begins using the Datasheet in the back of this manual. The Datasheet will greatly
simplify the wiring process and provide a permanent record of the SAGEON PSMC I
wiring.
2.4.5 Locate each sense point for plant voltage and shunts to determine what type of inline
protection and cable routing is required. Note connection and protection requirements on
Datasheet.
2.4.6 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 determines
the connection to the common “control return” (CTRL RTN) on the SAGEON PSMC I. The
RFA inputs are ground closures.
Note: Add this information and any lug requirements on the Datasheet. Determine best cable routing to
the rectifier connections. The Equalize, Restart, and HVSD connections can be “daisy chained”
as necessary. The SAGEON PSMC I accepts up to 16 individual RFA inputs.
2.4.7 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.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 2-2
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
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 and add this information to the Datasheet.
Note: Do not use inline resistors for protection on fuse alarms as SAGEON PSMC I
internal sensing circuits will be adversely affected and may fail to register fuse
alarms; fuses must be used instead.
2.4.8 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 and add this information to the Datasheet.
2.4.9 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, and add this information to the Datasheet.
2.4.10 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 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. No
inline protection is required for temperature sensors. Determine best cable routing,
connection requirements and add this information to the Datasheet.
2.4.11 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 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 Plant Ground screw terminals for jumpers
to the common connection on the output relays. Determine best cable routing, connection
requirements, and add this information to the Datasheet.
2.5 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The following topics provide guidelines and suggestions to facilitate wiring the SAGEON PSMC I
in a fast and efficient manner, producing a quality installation that looks professional and limits
potential problems.
2.5.1 Sketch out the wire routing from the SAGEON PSMC I on paper to determine the best
routing that allows the maximum number of wires to be bundled together from the SAGEON
PSMC I to the furthermost possible connection point. Creating wiring bundles facilitates
routing and provides protection to individual wires.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 2-3
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
2.5.2 Always use multi-conductor twisted pair or jacketed cables whenever possible. Start cabling
from the SAGEON PSMC I, filling in the wire color codes on the Datasheet as connections to
the SAGEON PSMC I are made. 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.
2.5.3 Familiarize yourself with the screw terminal board layout before starting the wiring process.
Refer to Signal Identifier Label for screw terminal labeling locat ed on the top panel of the
SAGEON PSMC I. Develop a wiring progression such as power, analog, fuse alarms, etc.
This will help eliminate wiring errors or missed connections.
2.5.4 The SAGEON PSMC I power inputs are protected against reverse polarity. The analog
inputs are polarity sensitive. Reversed connections will not cause any damage but the
SAGEON PSMC I will be unable to read the input. This requirement can be confusing,
especially on shunt inputs. Using the power plant SD drawing to determine shunt polarities
will save time later when troubleshooting analog channels.
2.5.5 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 PSMC I 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 PSMC from the rack without disconnecting the terminal blocks.
2.6 WIRING THE SAGEON PSMC I
Note: Refer to 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 103-2999-XX drawing provides general wiring diagrams for the
typical SAGEON PSMC I connections, mechanical views, and fusing information.
At this point, the installer should have a Datasheet detailing the required connections and a wiring
plan that provides the most efficient cable routing. The installer should be familiar with the wiring
connections to the SAGEON PSMC I. The PN 103-2999-XX drawings should be availab le for
reference to the actual SAGEON PSMC I connections and typical wiring diagrams.
2.6.1 Plant 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 PSMC I running a fused Battery
connection to the BAT pin on the SAGEON PSMC I. 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 Fig.1 of PN drawing)
Note: See the PN 103-2999-XX drawing Table E for SAGEON PSMC I power fusing
requirements.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 2-4
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
2.6.3 Analog 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.
2.6.3.1 Connect the fused Plan t Voltag e sense le ads to the VB+ and VB- terminals on the
SAGEON PSMC I, verifying the proper polarity. (See Fig. 2 of PN drawing)
2.6.3.2 Connect the fused Plant Shunt sense leads to the PSH+ and PSH- terminals on the
SAGEON PSMC I, verifying the proper polarity. (See Fig. 3 of PN drawing)
2.6.3.3 Connect any required Feeder Shunt sense leads starting at SH1+ & SH1- up to SH9+
& SH9-, as per the Datasheet. These inputs must also be protected and connected
with the proper polarity. (See Fig. 4 & 5 of PN drawing)
2.6.3.4 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), temperature return (R), and temperature signal input (S).
These connections correspond to the red, black, and blue leads (respectively) of the
temperature sensors. If the temperature sensor wires have been extended refer to the
Datasheet for proper connections. (See Fig. 8 of 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 PSMC I. The temperature sensor return
lead (RTN) is isolated, and MUST NOT be connected to PLANT
GROUND.
2.6.3.5 Connect the fused load voltage sense leads to the VL+ & VL- terminals on the
SAGEON PSMC I, verifying the proper polarity. (See Fig. 2 of PN drawing)
This completes the analog input connections. Stop and verify these connections and update the
Datasheet if necessary. Go to the Analog Channel Calibration section next.
2.6.4 Binary Inputs
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 predefined inputs for proper operation. Refer to the Datasheet for required connections and the PN 1032999 drawings for typical wiring diagrams. (See Fig. 9 of PN drawing)
2.6.4.1 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.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 2-5
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
Note: UNIPOWER, LLC 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.
2.6.4.2 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). Refer to the
Datasheet for the required connections. Route and terminate these connections
carefully due to their battery potential when alarmed.
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.
2.6.4.3 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. Refer to the Datasheet for the
required connections.
2.6.4.4 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
PSMC I can monitor up to 16 individual Rectifier fail alarm leads that are connected
in sequence to the (RFA) input terminals. Refer to the Datasheet for the required
connections. Make sure the Datasheet c le ar ly shows which rec ti fier is connec ted to
each input.
2.6.4.5 The Control Inhibit (INH) input requires a ground closure input. The Control Inhibit
(INH) input relinquishes control functions from the SAGEON PSMC I. When
triggered the Control Inhibit will disable the Rectifier ReStart (RS), Equalize (EQ),
and High Voltage Shut Down (HVSD) control output relays. The SAGEON PSMC I
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 and update the
Datasheet if necessary. See Enabling Channels section after the installation wiring is complete.
2.6.5 Control Relays
The SAGEON PSMC I 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.
2.6.5.1 The Equalize (EQ) output provides an operator initiated manual tim er or a voltag e
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.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 2-6
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
2.6.5.2 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.
2.6.5.3 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.
This completes the Control Output connections. Stop and verify these connections and update the
Datasheet if necessary. See Setting Thresholds section after the installation wiring is complete.
2.6.6 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 relay is 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 based on the Datasheet requirements. Refer to the Datasheet and PN
drawing figures for assistance in wiring the output relays.
The SAGEON PSMC I 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
manual for programming instructions.
2.6.6.1 Verify ground closure jumpers to common (C) terminals on designated output relays
against Datasheet and modify connections if necessary. Ground closure relays
should be jumpered to PLANT GND and can be daisy chained as necessary.
2.6.6.2 The two Major output relays are normally energized. These outputs are triggered by
an FA, VLVA, LVD, HVSD, WD, OC (over-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 required 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. Refer to the Datasheet
for required connections.
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 (noalarm/relay energized); likewise, the NC labeled contact of the Major alarm relay will
be open.
2.6.6.3 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

as required. Refer to the Datasheet for required connections.
2.6.6.4 The other output relays HVA, LVA, VLA, FA, LVD, RFA, TEMP, CEMF, and
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 required connection to the normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)
terminals as required. Refer to the Datasheet for required connections.
2.6.6.5 The Control Inhibit (CTRL INH) relay is triggered by the Inhibit input, which
causes to PMSC to relinquish control of the power plant. This relay would only be
used in a large power plant where the SAGEON PSMC I was designated as a back up
monitor/controller. This relay would confirm the status of the SAGEON PSMC I.
Contact the Factory for information on implementing master/slave control scheme.
2.6.6.6 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

SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
CHAPTER THREE: SAGEON PSMC I OPERATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 General Description
The SAGEON PSMC I was designed to provide all the basic meter/alarm functions in an extremely
compact, single rack space unit. The unit utilizes a microprocessor and alphanumeric display to provide
enhanced functionality. The simple four key front panel allows:
• Polling for status on each input
• Detailed alarm identification
• Enabling/disabling of inputs and outputs
• Zero and Gain calibration for analog channels
• System configuration including alarm thresholds
• Equalize timer set-up and initiation
• Control of output relays
• Test and verification of all functions
The SAGEON PSMC I utilizes simple intuitive menu structures to access any function. Four keys,
“Select”, “Next”, “Previous”, and “Escape” allow the user to move up or down through the menus or
change values with ease. The “Escape” key always allows the user to easily return to the last menu or all
the way back to the default idle screen. References to key presses and/or menus will be highlighted in
bold print.
On the +24/-48v unit, the user selects the operation voltage in software after which the SAGEON PSMC I
automatically defaults to the proper alarm thresholds. No jumpers or switch settings are required to
accommodate voltage changes. The SAGEON PSMC I is by default 48V. The lower right hand corner of
the LCD the start up screen will display the current voltage configuration of the unit.
The SAGEON PSMC I will automatically time-out and default to the idle screen from any sub-menu
within 5 minutes. The default idle screen always displays plant voltage (V
) and number of alarms. A
b
configuration option allows the screen to also display plant current only, ambient temperature only, the
sum of all enabled shunts currents only, or toggle between plant current and ambient temperature. When
the Load Voltage channel is enabled, the Load Voltage (V
) is also displayed.
L
LED indicators provide visual indications of alarms, HVSD, Equalize status, and power. Test jacks
allow for manual verification of analog input voltages. These test jacks are for reference only and should
not be used for gain calibration; measurements for calibration should be taken at the screw terminals of
the analog input channel. The LCD display screen can be configured to turn off the LCD backlight after a
given period of inactivity. Pressing any key will cause the display to illuminate. A Configuration option
can be changed to keep the backlight constantly ON. A front panel potentiom eter VI EW ADJ. allows the
user to adjust the display contrast.
The SAGEON PSMC I’s functionality is menu driven. Menu flowcharts are provided in the back of this
manual to help the user find a particular function. There are four main menus below the default idle
display screen: Status, Alarms, Configure, and Test. If the Equalize function has been enabled, a fifth
main menu will appear for initiating the Equalize mode. The Operations section of the manual will first
explain the menu structure of the SAGEON PSMC I and methods for moving about within them to reach
a desired function. Then each function block will be discussed in a logical order such as, enabling
channels, calibration, setting thresholds, etc.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-1
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
3.1.2 SAGEON PSMC I Menu Structure
Note: Referring to the menu flowcharts in the back of the manual provides a visual
representation of the material in this section.
As described in the introduction, the SAGEON PSMC I breaks the functional modes of the
unit into four main menus:
1. Status: Polling analog channels
2. Alarms: Detailed alarm information
3. Configure: System custom set-up and calibration
* A fifth menu is added when the manual Equalize timer is selected for use.
Status:The Status menu only displays the current status of the analog channels.
There are no sub-menus for other tasks under this main menu.
Alarm: The Alarm menu provides an ACO alarm cut-off control of the audible alarm
Configure: The Configuration menu provides sub-menus organized for functionality in
Test: The Test menu provides the means for testing and troubleshooting analog,
Note: If the SAGEON PSMC I has been already been commissioned, testing output relays
and binary input channels will initiate nuisance alarm conditions.
Note: Analog/digital input channels are not continuously polled in “analog test mode”.

be disabled in the Configure/System Options menu.)
custom configuring the SAGEON PSMC I for the user's application. It also
provides menus for calibrating analog input channels, setting alarm
thresholds, and system options.
binary, and output channels along with tests to verify LED and Display
operation.
The SAGEON PSMC I always defaults to the idle display screen if no key presses occur
within 5 minutes from any menu. This prevents the user from inadvertently leaving the unit
in a sub-menu where operation could be impaired, such as a test mode. The display backlight
can be configured to turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity unless there is an active alarm
present. This option is selected in the Configurations/Systems Options menu. The Display
will always remain in the lit state when an alarm is present.
The idle display screen always displays Plant Voltage, Plant Current, and the number of
active alarms, if any. A sub-menu selection allows the display to toggle between plant
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-2
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
current and ambient temperature or to display the sum of all enabled shunts, if desired. When
the Load Voltage channel is enabled the idle screen also displays the Load Voltage.
The user interface is limited to four push button keys:
Escape: This key is used to return to the last menu. Pressing “Escape” from anywhere
within the menu stru c tur e w ill abort the current activity and return the user to the
next higher level in the menu structure. Multiple presses of the escape key will
always bring the user back to the idle display screen.
Select: This key, as its name implies, is used to select, or access, a particular menu or sub-
menu. The select key is also used within many menus to toggle the status of some
parameter, such as, yes/ no, enable/disable. It is also used to select a variable
where the “Next” and “Previous” keys walk the user through a list of choices and
the user presses the “Select” key for the desired choice.
Next & Previous: These keys provide three functions:
1. The means to move between menu selections in either direction from the current
location.
2. Selecting parameter choices within a menu where a predefined set of choices
exist for a given parameter and the user must choose one.
3. Calibration, threshold and timer changes. The keys change the displayed value
From the idle display menu pressing “Select”, “Next”, or “Previous” brings the user to the
Status menu. From the Status menu the “Next” and “Previous” keys can be used to access
any of the main menus. Once the desired main menu is reached pressing “Select” drops the
user down one level allowing access to any of the sub-menus under that main menu using the
“Next” and “Previous” keys as before to access the desired sub-menu.
The “Escape” key can be used as an exit from any menu. Depending on where the user
currently is in the menu structure one, or more, presses of the “Escape” key may be required
to reach the top-level idle display screen. Pressing the “Escape” from the idle display screen
will refresh the display; this function is useful if an error has occurred in communications
between the microprocessor and the LCD.
3.1.4 Menu Functionality
The main menus group common functions together simplifying access. The following
descriptions highlight the basic functions of each main menu. Menus are presented in the
order that they are accessed in, by pressing the “Next” key, starting at the Status menu.
Note: If any channels have been disabled in the Configure/Enable Channels menu they will
not appear in any subsequent menus, nor will any alarm conditions be triggered from input to
that particular channel.
up (next) or down (prev.) to reach a desired value.
Status: The status menu provides a means of polling each analog input channel for its
current status. Pressing “Select” when the Status menu appears drops the user down
to the first analog channel. Pressing “Next” progresses the user through the
channels in the following order:
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-3

The last value read before entering the Status menu is displayed for each channel.
The user can update the displayed channel by pressing the “Select” key. Press
“Escape” once to return to the main Select Mode menu.
Alarms: The Alarm menu provides quick access to detailed alarm identification. The menu
is accessed with the “Next” or “Previous” keys and entered with the “Select” key.
The initial screen displays the current number of active alarms and the status of the
audible alarm cut-off (ACO control will not be displayed if the audible alarm has
been disabled in Configure/System options). Here, the “Select” key toggles the
audible alarm on or off when it is enabled.
The “Next” and “Previous” keys take the user through each active alarm, showing
the source of the alarm; i.e., Alarm 1 of 3: RFA 3; or Alarm 1 of 1: LOW
VOLTAGE.
The LED alarm indicators on the front panel provide general information that
corresponds to the detailed alarm information. The LED’s may indicate a fuse
alarm and a rectifier fail alarm currently exist. The Alarm menu tells the user
which specific fuse type and rectifier is in alarm. Pressing “Escape” when
completed, will return the user to the main Select Mode Menu.
Configure: The Configure menu provides all of the sub-menus necessary to custom
configure the SAGEON PSMC I for a particular application. Pressing “Select”
when the Configure menu appears allows access to the configuration menus.
“Next” and “Previous” keys are used to locate the desired sub-menu. Pressing
“Select” again accesses the displayed menu. The Configure menu consists of
eight standard and one optional sub-menu (Equalize):
Manual Equalize: Optional menu that appears when Timer mode is selected under
Systems Option s EQUALIZE MENU. In Timer mode the user can set the
desired Equalize time from 1 to 255 hours in the Configure Manual EQ Time
menu. The Equalize menu appears first when enabled so the user can quickly
access the time parameter for the manual equalize mode. Pressing “Next” or
“Previous” moves the user to the next/last Configure sub-menu, “Escape” moves
the user back to the main Configure menu.
Enable Thresholds: Lets the user decide which alarm thresholds are active and which are
not. The user presses “Select” to enter the menu, then “Next” or “Previous” to
access each alarm threshold. The “Select” key can be used to toggle each alarm
threshold on or off. See Setting up the Analog Channels section of this manual for
more details. Pressing the “Escape” key when complete returns the user to the
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-4
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
Enable Thresholds menu.
Set Thresholds: Permits the user to make changes to each individual alarm threshold.
To change an alarm threshold the user presses “Select” when the desired alarm
threshold appears in sequence using the “Next” and/or “Previous” keys. The
alarm's current threshold will appear below the alarm threshold's name. The
words “Set at” will change to “modify” when select is pressed then the user
presses the “Next” (up) or the “Previous” (down) keys to adjust the value of the
alarm threshold. Once the desired value is displayed the user presses “Select”
again to save the new threshold value which changes the wording back from
“Modify” to “Set at”. If an error is made while in “Modify” pressing “ESC”
will abort the operation and restore the original value. See Setting up the Analog
Channels section of this manual for more details. Pressing “Escape” returns the
user to the Set Thresholds menu under the Configure menu.
Enable Channels: Lets the user to turn off unused channels to simplify access and possible
confusion. Channels that are disabled will not appear in other menus, such as, Set Thresholds, eliminating possible confusion and confining activity to only
pertinent parameters. If a hardware connection is not made to the rear panel of the
SAGEON PSMC I it is suggested that the channel be disabled in this menu. As
before the user enters with the “Select” key using the “Next” and “Previous” keys
to move from channel to channel. Pressing “Select” toggles the channel on or off.
When completed, pressing “Escape” returns the user to the Enable Channels
menu.
Calibrate Zero: Part of analog channel calibration; eliminates measurement errors due to
sense lead length and noise. This menu requires the user to short the measurement
leads at the actual sense point to null out line losses. See Setting up the Analog
Channels section of this manual to use this menu.
Calibrate Gain: Part of analog channel calibration scales the particular channel to
accurately read the input value. The user must measure and verify the input
manually first; this measurement should be performed at the sense point of the
wire leads. Then the displayed value is adjusted up or down with the “Next” or
“Previous” keys to match the manual reading. Once set the SAGEON PSMC I
automatically scales the input linearly to accurately read any input value for that
channel. See Setting up the Analog Channels section of this manual to use this
menu.
Set Shunt Scales: Before the SAGEON PSMC I can accurately read the various shunt inputs
the individual shunts full scale rating must be entered. The PSMC defaults to a
600A full scale setting for all feeder shunt inputs. Plant shunt is default 2500A. To
change the full scale setting the user presses “Select” to enter the menu, then using
the “Next” and “Previous” keys to display the desired shunt input. Pressing
“Select” again allows the user to change the full scale rating in 5A inc rem ents
from 5 to 10,000 amps using the “Next” and “Previous” keys to change the value
up and down. When the desired value is reached press “Select” again to enter the
value. The “Next” and “Previous” keys can then be used to select another shunt
input. Pressing the “Escape” key returns the user to the “SetShunt Scales” menu.
The SAGEON PSMC I is configured to use 50mV shunts only.
System Options: Contains several sub-menus for setting system level parameters:

selected channel is read continuously. The user can also turn output and alarm relays
on or off and perform LED, LCD and audible alert test verifications. (See appropriate
testing section of manual for detailed operating instructions).
Note: Plant monitoring ceases during Analog, Binary, and Output Relay tests.
3.2 PROGRAMMING THE SAGEON PSMC I
This section will deal with the Configure menus only. The Configure menu provides all of the menus
necessary to customize the SAGEON PSMC I for the user’s specific requirements. Each sub-menu
will be covered in detail which will enable the user to completely configure the SAGEON PSMC I
for their specific application. The user should read through this material then experiment with their
unit to become familiar and comfortable with programming the SAGEON PSMC I. None of the
functions under Configure are capable of damaging the equipment. The only function that could

cause a power interruption would result from setting the HVSD alarm threshold lower than the
present plant voltage or setting the system voltage to +24vdc on a –48vdc plant, this would generate
a HVSD alarm; if the HVSD control relay is connected to an LVD or rectifier control input power
interruption could be possible.
3.2.1 Factory Default Settings
The PSMC as shipped from the Factory is initially programmed for use in a very basic power
plant. Many channels and functions are programmed to be initially disabled. This allows the
user to install the PSMC ready to use with the most basic monitoring and control functions
already programmed into the unit. The user can then add whatever additional channels and
functions required to customize the SAGEON PSMC I for their specific application.
The Configure menu descriptions detail the full implementation for each menu. Since the
SAGEON PSMC I has been factory programmed many of the channels and alarm thresholds
will not appear when the user first enters some menus. Use the following table of Factory
settings to determine the initial status for these menus.

3.6 ANALOG CALIBRATION
The next two menus are used to calibrate the analog channel inputs. The first menu, “Calibrate Zero” nulls out any offset due to amplifier zero-offset and/or analog to digit al con v erter zero-error.
The second menu “Calibrate Gain” sets up each channel to accurately read that channels input.
When completed the SAGEON PSMC I has a zeroed measurement point to reference all others from
and a scaling factor to allow it to read out in amps or degrees as required. Proper calibration is
critical to the SAGEON PSMC I’s performance and customer satisfaction. Properly completed the
SAGEON PSMC I should only require a yearly verification of the measurement accuracy.
3.6.1 Calibrate Zero
The “Calibrate Zero” menu provides a fast and simple means to null out the analog
measurement sense leads. This process requires the user to short the measurement leads
together as close to the actual measurement point as possible. For this reason sense leads
should be left open at the measurement end to facilitate this procedure on start-up.
WARNING: Zeroing an analog channel without shorting the measurement leads can
dramatically offset the display measurement. While no physical damage
will result the user may require a service call, to open, then short and zero
the input, in order to restore proper operation.
DANGER: NEVER short analog measurement leads that are connected to their sense
points on the power plant. Arcing and damage to inline protection devices
and/or equipment may result.
The menu structure provides a prompt: INPUTS SHORTED? CONFIRM? NO that the
user must toggle to YES with the “Next” or “Prev” key before the SAGEON PSMC I will
allow the user to press “Select” and zero the channel as a safety measure.
This procedure assumes a new installation where each analog channel would require a full
calibration before use:
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-11
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
Note: At installation time perform steps 1 to 6 with the input leads shorted. Each channel
should display a value close to zero. Whether it does or not, calibrate the value for
zero with its inputs shorted. Doing so fixes the proper offset values into memory.
Once these steps are complete connect the inpu ts to their re spec tiv e sourc es, repe at
steps 1 to 6 and adjust for the proper level s.
Calibrate Zero Procedure
1. Enter the “Calibrate Zero” menu from the Configure menu by Pressing “Select”, then
press “Next” until the Calibrate Zero menu appears, then press “Select” again to access
the first channel:
2. Short the Plant Voltage sense leads together at the measurement point; the reading will
show the zero offset value.
3. Press “Select” again, and the SAGEON PSMC I will prompt:
PLANT VOLTAGE
READING: (present value)
INPUT SHORTED?
CONFIRM? NO
4. Verify proper shorting of the input leads then press “Next” or “Previous” to toggle the
input to “YES”
5. Press “Select” again and the SAGEON PSMC I will zero the channel and return to the
initial display showing the offset as zero:
PLANT VOLTAGE
READING: 0.00
6. Only those analog channels that were enabled in the Enable Channels menu will appear in
sequence. Press “Next” to reach the next analog channel; repeat this procedure to zero all
the analog channels. Shunt channels are displayed in millivolts (mV) and temps are
displayed in degrees F.
Note: The temperature sensors by construction do not support shorting at the measurement
point. These channels can only be zeroed at the SAGEON PSMC I input when the
standard sensor and cable assembly are disconnected. In cases where an extension
cable was necessary the user can zero out the extension cable before connection to the
actual sensor wiring. BE SURE to short only the SIG and RTN leads.
When all the analog channels have been zeroed, leave the sense leads open to prepare for the
Calibrate Gain procedure. Press “Escape” to return to the initi a l “Calibrate Zero” menu.
Use “Next” or “Previous” to reach other Configure sub-menus, or “Escape” again to return
to the Save Configurations menu.

SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
3.6.2 Calibrate Gain
The Calibrate Gain menu allows the user to quickly calibrate any analog channel to provide
an accurate reading scaled for volts, amps, or degrees. Since the overall performance of the
SAGEON PSMC I is tied directly to the accuracy of its measurements careful attention to
detail is manda tory when calibrating the SAGEON PSMC I.
The front test jacks provide a convenient means for checking the actual input with a DVM for
comparison with the SAGEON PSMC I. By performing the zero calibration first any losses
due to lead length should be removed and the test jack accuracy should be quite good.
However, during the initial installation calibration, users should confirm the test jack
accuracy by measuring the inputs at their source and comparing the results.
A suitable DVM with at least 4-digit accuracy should be used for all analog input
measurements.
Shunt and temperature readings will require calculations to acquire the actual amps or
temperature value from the shunt or temperature sensor test jack voltage outputs for
calibration.
See sections 3.6.3 and 3.6.4 before calibrating the gain of shunt and temperature inputs. To
maximize the accuracy of the shunt input calibrations certain precau tions shou ld be followed.
Temperature inputs require a simple calculation before the gain is adjusted.
Calibrate Gain Procedure
1. Enter the “Calibrate Gain” menu from the main Configure menu by Pressing “Select”,
then press “Next” until the Calibrate Gain menu appears, then press “Select” again to
access the first channel:
2. Measure the actual input between the voltage and Com test jacks on the front panel, or at
the measurement source. See below for required shunt and temperature calibration
calculations.
3. Press “Select” again, and the SAGEON PSMC I will prompt:
4. Use “Next” (up) / “Previous” (down) to make the display value match the measured value.
5. Press “Select” again to load the new cali bra ted valu e. The display will change to confirm
the new calibrated value that was entered:
PLANT VOLTAGE
READS: (current value)
PLANT VOLTAGE
GAIN: (current value)
PLANT VOLTAGE
READS: (calibrated value)
6. The user can press “Select” again to re-adjust the current cal ib ration valu e, or pres s
“Next” to access the next enabled channel. Repeat the procedure for each active analog
channel.

3.6.3 Shunt Calibration Calculations
In order to calibrate shunts, a suitable load current must be passing through it to use it for
calibration. The load current should be at least 70% or 80% of the full scale rating to get an
accurate calibration. A load box connected to the shunts output may be required to generate
the required current levels during calibration. Shunts are displayed in millivolts (mV) so they
can be compared to the DVM readings connected to the inputs.
Note: The SAGEON PSMC I is hardware limited to reading only 50mv full-scale rated
shunts. In addition, only load currents from the main plant voltage can be monitored.
Battery discharge current and/or opposite polarity DC/DC converter output currents
can not be monitored with the SAGEON PSMC I. For additional shunt monitoring
capability, including 100mV shunts, see the PSMC I Analog Expansion unit (PN 1033000-XX).
The resulting displayed calibrated current reading can be verified against the actual shunt
input performing the following calculation. Measure the actual milli-Volt input on at the
screw terminal inputs on the back of the SAGEON PSMC I for the particular shunt being
calibrated. Determine the shunts full scale rating; such as, 600A @ 50mV full-scale. Then
multiply the measured value by the full scale rating and divide the result by 50 to get the
actual current value. This calculated value should agree with the number of amps passing
through the load; within 2% of the shunts full scale rating.
Measured value = 30 mV,
3.6.4 Temperature Calibration Calculations
The SAGEON PSMC I utilizes UNIPOWER, LLC’ standard temperature sensor assemblies
that provide a calibrated output of 10 mV per degree Fahrenheit. For SAGEON PSMC I
Calibration the easiest method is to measure the sensor output on the temperature inputs at the
rear of the SAGEON PSMC I. Reading between the SIG and RTN with a DVM on the millivolt range provides a voltage that can be read directly as Degrees Fahrenheit. For example, a
reading of 782 mV can be read as 78.2°F for entry as the calibration value.
This value may also be read on the tip jacks located on the front panel, while the unit is set to
calibration or test mode and the corresponding sensor channel is selected. The PSMC
measures temperatures from 0°F to 200°F, i.e. voltage ranges from 0 to 2.00 Volts.
3.7 SET SHUNT SCALES
The PSMC can monitor plant current and nine “feeder” shunts. The calibrate zero and gain menus set-up
the hardware analog input channels to accurately read a 50mv shunt. In order to display the correct
ampere reading for each particular shunt the full-scale rating must be entered. The factory default setting
is 2500A for the PLANT SHUNT and 600A for all FEEDER SHUNTS, with a possible range of 5 to
10,000 Amps.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-14

the ACO time. Once the selections are made pressing “Escape” returns the user to the
Audible Alarm menu.
Note: The audible alarm transducer is rated at 85 DBA @ 10cm which is loud enough for a
small office or CEV. Offices where the operator may be more the 25 ft. away or there
is a high level of back ground noise should use a separate audible alarm panel operated
by an output relay. (See Aux. Relay 3.7.10)
3.8.7 System Voltage Sub-Menu
This menu selects the operating voltage for the SAGEON PSMC I. The user selects 24v or
48v with any 103-2999-XX model (The default is for a 48V plant). The “Select” key toggles
between the choices and resets alarm thresholds to the default thresholds for the new voltage
setting.
Note: Changing the plant voltage will load factory defaults for all thresholds and enabled
channels.
Use the “Next” key to access the next menu
3.8.8 Equalize Sub-Menu
This menu allows the user to choose an Equalize mode. Use the “Next” (up) / “Prev” (down)

enable the desired mode (s). Both of these modes can be enabled simultaneously.
The Timer and Auto Eq. modes will terminate prematurely should a High Temp erature “ TA”
alarm occur for Ambient, and if enabled Temp String 1 or Temp String 2. Timer and Auto
Eq. equalize modes will terminate in the presence of a Controller Inhibit signal.
Selecting TIMER enables the manual equalize mode. This causes the “Manual Eq Time”
menu to appear at the top of the Configure menu. Here the user can configure the duration of
a manual equalize cycle from 1-255 hours. Also a top-level “Manual Equalize” menu is
added where the user can press the “Select” key to initiate an equaliz e cycle. The PSMC will
display the number of equalize hours elapsed out of the total number of Eq hours.
Pressing select under the AUTO EQ menu when disabled will enable it, and when enabled
will disable it. When enabled the PSMC displays the Auto Eq. sub-menu. Here the user
chooses the Auto-Eq ON threshold; which is the voltage level that the plant must fall below
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 3-17
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
and then raise above to trigger an Auto Eq. cycle. Its default is the Low Voltage Alarm
Threshold. You can also set the Auto Eq. OFF threshold; which is the voltage level that the
plant must raise above to terminate an Auto Eq. cycle. Its default is the High Voltage Alarm
Threshold. The last setting in this s ub -menu is the Auto Eq. Time, which is a timer from 0 –
10 hours that will terminate the Auto Eq. once the cycle has started. Its default is one hour.
A setting of 0 hours configures the Auto-Eq cycle to only terminate when the plant voltage
exceeds the Auto Eq. OFF threshold or premature termination point (above) occurs i.e. Auto
Eq. shut-off by HVA. Any high temp alarm will abort an Auto-Eq cycle while in progress.
Use the “ESC” and “Next” key to access the next menu.
3.8.9 Auxiliary Relay Sub-Menu
The Auxiliary Relay menu allows the user to define the Auxiliary relay as one of the

Press “Select” when the Output Relays menu appears to enter the output relay test mode. The first
output relay will appear with its current status “Open” or “Closed” displayed and updated
continuously. The output relays are accessed in the following order using the “Next/Up” key:
Pressing the “Select” key when a specific output relay is displayed will toggle that relay Open (off)
or Closed (on). In the special case of “ALL” relays, all output relays will either be closed or open
concurrently. The user can press “Next” or “Previous” keys to move through the list of output relays
channels. The output relay status will automatically return to its controlled state when the user
leaves the output relay test mode.
Note: The front panel alarm LED’s will not indicate relay status in the output relay test mode.
CAUTION: Alarms that are connected to a remote alarm monitor will send false ‘nuisance’ alarm
status if toggled while in the output relay test mode.
Warning: Turning the control relays for Equalize or HVSD on in the test mode will result in the
power plant entering that mode. The power plant rectifiers will be shutdown if the
HVSD output relay is turned on; the rec ti fi e r s wil l als o be shu t dow n if th e te s t “A LL ”
relays option is used. If the power plant has been commissioned use extreme caution
when testing these relays to make sure that power plant operation will not be adversely
affected.
The output relay test mode can be very useful during the power plant test and acceptance to verify
operation. Rectifier response to Equalize, HVSD, and Restart can be checked. External audible or
visual monitors can be tested. Alarm call outs can be verified, etc.
When completed, press “Escape” to return to the Select Test display. Press “Next” or “Previous”
to access other test modes. Press “Escape” to return to the main menus or the idle display screen.
4.5 LED TEST MODE
Press “Select” when the display reads LAMP OFF to activate all front panel LED’s at once. All
LED’s should be illuminated. Press “Select” to perform the test again, or press “Escape” at anytime
to exit the tes t.
Note: The LED’s test will automatically end after approx. 10 seconds. Press “Select” again, if
desired, to start the test again.
PM990-2999-00, Rev 5 4-2
SAGEON PSMC I PRODUCT MANUAL
Note: Any LED that is not illuminated indicates a SAGEON PSMC I internal circuitry failure
requiring a service call to repair.
When completed, press “Next” or “Previous” to access other test modes. Press “Escape” to return
to the main menus or the idle display screen.
4.6 LCD TEST MODE
Press “Select” when the display reads “LCDOFF” to activate all of the front panel alphanumeric
LCD segments at once. All of the LCD segments in the 2 by 16 matrix should be on during the test.
Each segment consists of a square of pixels on the screen. Be sure each segment's pixels are on.
Note: The LCD’s test will automatically end after approx. 10 seconds. Press “Select” again, if
desired, to start the test again.
Note: Any LCD segment or pixel that is not illuminated indicates a SAGEON PSMC I internal
circuitry failure requiring a service call to repa ir.
When completed, press “Next” or “Previous” to access other test modes. Press “Escape” to return
to the main menus or the idle display screen.
4.7 ALERT TEST MODE
Press “Select” when the display reads “ALERT OFF” to activate the internal audible alert buzzer.
The display changes to “ALERT ON”. The Alert should be heard now although it may not be heard
in noisy environments like Central Offices.
Note: The Alert test will automatically end after approx. 10 seconds. Press “Select” again, if
desired, to start the test again. No sound coming from the Alert in a quiet environment
indicates a SAGEON PSMC I internal circuitry failure requiring a service call to repair.
When completed, press “Next” or “Previous” to access other test modes. Press “Escape” to return
to the main menus or the idle display screen.

CHAPTER FIVE:MAINTENANCE
The SAGEON PSMC I should not require any regular maintenance. Once a year, the analog channel
calibration should be verified against actual measurements. On a 2 to 5 year basis, a complete system test
should take place that checks all alarm and output functions to make sure alarm detection, control
functions, and output relays work properly.
