Sageon Shield Standalone Battery Monitor
1. INTRODUCTION
The Sageon Shield Standalone Battery Monitor is a complete solution for monitoring the status of a 48V battery
string. The Sageon Shield Battery Monitor will monitor individual cell voltage, ambient and pilot cell
temperature, and battery string charge/discharge current (optional). Using UNIPOWER’s Sagev iew softwa re the
user can obtain a snapshot view of the present state of the batteries remotely via the integral Web/SNMP interface
card, or locally at the unit via the front panel USB connection. Alarming is provided via five user configurable
relays that can be triggered on a variety of battery conditions; by default, these relays will “trip” on high battery
cell voltage, low battery cell voltage, high cell voltage deviation, low cell voltage deviation, and high ambient or
battery temperature.
Figure 1. Sageon Shield Standalone Battery Monitor
2. INSTALLATION
2.1. MOUNTING THE POWER SHELF The battery monitor is mounted into a standard 19” rack using 12-24 screws. A minimum of four screws are
required to secure the Power shelf into the rack. It is recommended to initially install the Power shelf into the rack
without the Controller in place. 23” mounting brackets are available; consult factory for part numbers.
Figure 2. Mount points for securing battery monitor in a rack
Wiring for the standard Power shelf is rear access only.
2.1.1. Tools Required for Installation
• No. 2 Phillips-screwdriver (for tightening rack bolts)
• No. 1 Phillips-screwdriver (for removing back panel screws)
• 3/32” Slotted-screwdriver (for tightening terminal block connections)

2.1.2. Gaining Access to Wiring
WARNING: Access to the rear wiring should be limited to qualified service personnel. It is recommended to
remove the power before gaining access to the rear wiring due to the safety hazard present inside the electrical
enclosure. Similarly, the energy hazard associated with wiring connected to the batteries bus must be addressed
through the use of appropriately insulated tools and other measures to prevent accidental short circuits to the DC
bus.
Figure 3. Opening top rear cover to access wiring
All connections to the Sageon Shield Standalone Battery Monitor are made at the rear of the unit and within the
battery connection module. To open the top rear cover, remove the two rear M3 screws securing the cover to the
back. The top cover will then hinge up to provide access to the wiring. To gain access to the boards in the battery
connection module remove the (2) 4-40 screws from the front panel and slide the cover forward.

2.2. TEMPERATURE SENSORS The optional sensors for measuring ambient and battery temperature are the same device (Part No. 385-5941-03).
The system auto-detects if the sensor is plugged into one of the positions (4) or (5) shown in Figure 6. If no
sensor is installed, the Controller will show “Not Available” in the menu items for the temperature measurements.
Locate the ambient sensor on a large thermal mass, such as the equipment rack; this will prevent large swings in
temperature readings. Locate the battery sensor on a battery block in the middle shelf of the battery bank (likely
hot zone). The battery temperature sensors are connected directly to the battery posts using the integral lug of th e
temperature sensor. The temperature sensors are galvanically isolated from the lug.
NOTE: Up to four battery temperature sensors can be connected to the Sageon Shield Standalone Battery
Monitor; however, only the highest battery temperature will be displayed at the front panel or via SageView.
2.3. ALARM RELAY CONNECTIONS
Figure 7. Alarm relay connect ions (r ight ) and remot e commun ica ti ons modu le loca tion (l ef t)
The alarm relay board is inverted when installed in the rear cover lid such that Relay 5 is on the left when viewed
from the rear of the metalwork. The connections are labeled again on the rear cover. Each alarm is user
programmable through the Controller using the SageView PC software.

The user configurable auxiliary relays contacts are shown above. The contacts are rated for 1A 250VAC or 1A
32VDC and have >1kV isolation to the coils. The pin configuration is pin 1 at the right as seen in Figure 7.
The relays, being user configurable, can be arranged to
only. The logic can be inverted for individual relays so
normally closed contact as this will also indicate if the
relay power has failed).
2.4. CONTROLLER POWER CONNECTIONS Power for the Controller and its peripherals is derived from the DC bus or the charged battery. The Battery
connection module has reverse polarity protection circuit; however, a reversed connection will fail to power the
controller. There is one connection to the (+) terminal and one connection to the (-) battery terminal.
Remove the top cover of the Sageon shield to view the power connections to the Battery Distribution Module
(BDM). The red wire should be connected to the BATTERY POS(+) terminal, X16. The black wire should be
connected to the BUS (-) and LVDS COMMON terminals, X2 and X9, respectively. Connect the black wire to
the battery (-) terminal and the red wire to the battery (+) terminal to complete the power connections to the
Sageon Shield.
The system voltage is sensed solely on the connections to the battery. No additional user connections are required
to power the Controller.
2.5. FRONT PANEL USB COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTION The front USB port on the Controller is configured as USB-slave and has a B-type connector. A standard USB A-
to-B cable is required. The Controller can only communicate via the USB port to a PC running the SageView
software.
The USB connection requires that a USB driver be installed on the PC. The first time the Controller is plugged
into the PC via the USB port, a Microsoft® Windows dialogue box will appear asking the user to install the
Controller USB Interface drivers. The Microsoft® Windows operating system should be able to find the drivers
automatically on the Sageview CD-ROM, assuming it is in the CD-ROM drive of the PC.
If Sa geView is running when the unit is plugged in, a Windows dialogue box will appear asking the user if they
wish to connect to the unit immediately. Otherwise, the user will need to select the Controller from the available
controller USB devices in USB section in the Connection Setup.
2.6. REMOTE COMMUNICATION CONNECTION The SageNET/SNMP remote communications module is located to the left of the alarm relay header when viewed
from the rear. The SageNET module is capable of delivering plant information via an ethernet connection to
PM990-4023-01, Issue 4 5

remote workstation running the SageView software. For more information on SageView operation, refer to
TG990-4262-00 on the documentation CD. Additionally, remote monitoring of the Sageon Shield Standalone
Battery Monitor can be accomplished via SNMP. Refer to the SageNET setup and configuration guide on the
documentation CD for more information.
3. CELL MONITORING BOARD
The Sageon Battery Monitor (SBM) PCB is located under the sheet metal cover of the Battery Distribution
Module (BDM). It is used to monitor individual cells of a battery during float or equalization operation, or during
a discharge. Each SBM unit is capable of monitoring up to 24 cells or monoblocks. An additional three external
SBM units (up to four SBM units total) can be used to monitor up to four battery strings of 24 cells or
monoblocks each.
The cell voltages can be viewed in real time when the SCU is connected to a PC. The SageView software that is
running on the PC can display the cell voltage data in various convenient formats to ascertain the state of health of
batteries. In addition to the real time representation of the data on the SageView, the cell voltages can also be
observed in real time on the SCU display locally.
A number of pre-programmed parameter levels are used to generate alarms that are annunciated on the SCU front
panel by a LED and screen message and remotely via voltage free contacts, or via the USB port, which can
connect directly to a PC locally, or remotely via SNMP and an Ethernet connection.
3.1. MAIN FEATURES OF THE SBM BOARD
• Up to 24 cells can be monitored by a single SBM module. Cell voltage setting can be 2V, 4V, 6V,
and 12V.
• Up to four SBM boards can be connected to a single SCU.
• Individual cell voltages of a battery can be viewed on the SCU display in real time. The cell voltage
rounded to the nearest 5mV (applies only to 2V range) is displayed together with the cell number and
its percentage deviation from the average cell voltage of the battery.
• All the cell voltages can be displayed in a “Histogram” format locally or remotely on a PC using
Sageview software for a very convenient and rapid visual indication of normal and deviant cells.
• As the SBM is permanently connected to the batteries, daily or weekly viewing of the steady state cell
voltages for the different batteries in a system to a remote monitoring PC can be very useful for
anticipating the state of health of the batteries.
