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.

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.

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.
