1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Sageon Site Monitor (SSM) is an auxiliary module for the Sageon DC Power Plant. The SSM provides
additional I/O for the power plant enabling users to monitor the status of additional equipment through the
Sageon system. The SSM includes twelve digital inputs and eight analog inputs for monitoring devices such as
site security (door and window magnetic switches), AC Inverter status and alarms, Generator status (fuel level,
oil pressure), and HVAC status and alarms. Also included are four voltage free (dry), Form C control output
relays. The control relays can be automatically activated in response to an event on any of the SSM digital or
analog input (configurable by the user), or operated manually fro m a PC running SageView.
2.0 APPLICATIONS
The SSM provides a simple, integrated solution to many common application challenges elimina ti n g the nee d t o
purchase separate monitoring equipment. Using the remote communication capabilities and SageView software,
the Sageon system can be remotely monitored, allowing the appropriate response to site events.
Typical applications include:
• Integration of site alarms
• Integration of Inverter status
• Individual load monitoring
• Integration of auxiliary equipmen t status
3.0 EXAMPLE INSTALLATION
In this example the auxiliary site e quipment is integrated into the site monito r. The I/O for this application
include:
Analog Inputs
• Generator fuel level
• Generator output voltage, current, and frequency
• Inverter out put volta ge, current , and frequency
Digital Inputs
• Window and door opening sensors
• HVAC alarms
Digital Outputs
• NOC alarm generation
• Local alarms
• Strobe lights

4.0 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The SSM is e as ily c on fig ured usin g the Sa geV ie w pro gra m inc lud ed wit h eac h Sa geo n DC Power Plant. The
Site Monitor configuration screen is pictured below and provides a simple, intuitive user interface.
Each input has a user-de fined label field (up to 8 characters) to describe its function. If a label field is left blank,
the corresponding input is treated as not used. Analog input fields al so include a two-character field for the
description of the units of measure as well as high and low alarm thresholds. Scaling factor for analog inputs
are set-up for 0 volts (0% F.S.) to 4 volts (100% F.S.). The type of digital input source (normally open or
normally closed) is user definable by selecting the appropriate check box. Each discrete output can be
automatically generated based on any combination of discrete and analog inputs.
