2.0 Overview
2.1 General Description
Your NEWMAR Site Power Monitor, model SPM-200, web-enables and integrates intelligence to any site’s AC
and DC power system for 24/7 monitoring, alarm condition notification, and data logging of vital electrical
functions. All sensor inputs are programmable, accessible, and managed via the Internet: TCP/IP or SNMP.
View current conditions and log 30 day history of DC and AC power status at remote sites before dispatching
personnel.
The SPM-200 is designed specifically for monitoring power supplies, rectifiers, batteries, converters, inverters,
UPS, power distribution panels, and AC power at communication sites, base stations, outdoor enclosures and
command vehicles via Ethernet or Wireless connection. The unit can be rack, DIN-rail, or wall mounted and is
easily adapted to virtually any make of power system via nine sensor input ports which capture and stream
critical data via the internet for analysis and logging of site history. Web page based programs are easily
user configured for site parameters with up to 50 desired alarm conditions settings and multiple automatic
notification options by e-mail, PDA, and mobile phone via text messaging.
Sites without internet access can use the monitor solely as a data logging instrument that captures and retains
a 30 day history file, ready for download to a spread sheet on a lap top computer during maintenance visits
for recording site history and analysis of component performance and failure conditions.

3.0 Installation
3.1 Mechanical
There are 3 methods of mounting: Wall, DIN-rail, and Rack. Regardless of method, please observe the
following: free air flow (away from other equipments’ hot air exhaust so that the temperature sensor reads
accurately). Indoor installation only! No exposure to rain, spray, or moisture. Plan your wire routing when
considering location.
Option A: Wall, Panel, or Inside Enclosure Mounting
The SPM can be mounted on any flat secure surface (wall or tray) using screws through the four holes on the
mounting tabs (#8 screws recommended). Orientation should provide access to the front panel terminal block.
Option B: DIN-rail Mounting
The chassis supports DIN mounting via a 35mm rail at least 8 inches long. Installer needs to provide DIN-rail.
Two DIN-rail end clamps, P/N: 701-0040-0 provided.
Option C: Rack Mounting
The unit can be rack mounted with Newmar optional 19” or 23” rack mounting kit, 2 RU (3.5 inches) tall,
model RM-SPM, P/N: 020-5091-0.
3.2 Wiring
Connections for both power and sensor inputs are made to the pluggable terminal block which can be found
in the accessory bag (qty. 2, 10 positions). Each terminal block is color coded and labeled with the terminal
positions, and a matching colored label with terminal positions can be found on the mating connector on the
front panel of the SPM-200 to simplify wiring. The pluggable terminal block will accommodate 14-28 AWG
wire size:
ORANGE: Pos. # 1-10
BLUE: Pos. # 11-20
Make your wire connections to the pluggable terminal block first and then plug it into the mating connector
on the SPM-200 being careful to match the terminal numbers on the terminal block with the mating
connector. A small insulated screw driver has been provided to ease the connection process. Do no over-
tighten screws. Be sure to strip at least 1/4” of the insulation off the wires and fully insert them before
tightening screws. Tinning the wire strands before inserting into the terminal block is recommended for larger
wire.
WARNING: All un-grounded voltage inputs to the SPM must be fused with 1 amp in-line fuses, except for
the A1, A2, and A3 switch inputs (floating contact), and the Is1 and Is2 shunt input (terminals 5 & 6). All
returns and GROUNDS on the SPM are common with the –V DC input terminal.
CAUTION: Do not make connections to the SPM with the power on, or with any live AC or DC sources!
Refer to FIGURE 1 and 2 for details on the following steps. Each terminal block position has a reference number
9 abbreviated ID, and full description (see TABLE 1).
CAUTION: Chassis Ground Stud: Connect to earth ground first! Stud size: #6-32
CAUTION: If you intend to power -48 VDC AND monitor -48 VDC, input power must come from an
isolated DC converter. If you need one, we will provide it free of charge. Contact Newmar: 800-854-3906
or E-mail: [e-mail] and request model: 48-12-1i
3.2.1 DC Operating Power Input 9 - 60 VDC
Connect using 14-24 AWG wire. Connect your main DC power source to the –V and +V terminals being
careful to observe proper polarity. A 1 amp fast blow fuse on the +V input is recommended for protection. The
SPM draws approximately 100 mA max.

3.2.2 DC Voltage Monitor Ports
There are three ports total that monitor DC voltage. Two are rated for 0-40 VDC input, (terminals 15-16 and
17-18) and a third, (terminals 7-8) with inverse ground reference rated for 30-60 VDC input, intended primarily
for neg. 48 volt telecom system use. Note all DC sense voltage ties to the SPM must share a common ground
with the DC power source. CAUTION: If you intend to power -48 VDC AND monitor -48 VDC, input power must
come from an isolated DC converter. If you need one, we will provide it free of charge. Contact Newmar 800-
854-3906 or E-mail: [e-mail] and request model: 48-12-1i
3.2.3 DC Current
Terminals 5 & 6 (Is1 and Is2) A 0-100mV DC shunt input and shunt are provided for measuring DC current
(not provided) Shunt can measure load current, rectifier current, battery current (charge and discharge),
depending on where the shunt is installed in the power distribution system. Use twisted pair wires for best
results and steady noise free readings. Install shunt in positive or negative lead. Polarity of the shunt output
can be swapped to achieve desired positive or negative current flow indication.
3.2.4 Dry Contact Switch Sensors
Terminals 9-10, 11-12, 13-14. Connect up to three devices with switched alarm contacts (N/C or N/O) between
A1 and A1 RTN. Assign user-friendly names on Display Tab on monitor that describe the specific functions of
each circuit. Some examples include: Magnetic Door Switch, Rectifier Alarms, Smoke Alarms, Battery Temp
Alarms, loss of voltage, contact relay closure, etc. Multiple switches can be installed in series, or paralleled in
a string to a single input to the SPM.
3.2.5 AC Voltage Monitoring
Two ports are available for monitoring AC voltage sources: One for Utility line power, and a second for an
auxiliary/back up source such as generator or inverter with floating output.
Utility power: Connect AC voltage Line and Neutral to these input terminals 1 & 2. To measure and log AC
voltages from 90-264 VAC, 47-63Hz. Fuse the Line side (hot) with a 1 amp fast blow fuse (provided).
Auxiliary power: Connect to inverter output to measure a secondary AC source of 90-135 VAC, terminals 3 &
4. Fuse the line side (Hot) with a 1 amp fast blow fuse. Note: This input can be used to monitor a second utility
or generator source providing it’s a Line to Neutral source with grounded Neutral which must be connected to
“INV IN (GND)”, Terminal #4
CAUTION: Never connect the line side (Hot) of an AC source to INV IN (GND) or any RTN terminal on the SPM.
3.2.6 Ethernet Connection
Remote monitoring requires Ethernet connection via RJ 45 jack. If using SPM-200 as a data logger only, this is
also where the CSV file is extracted. Plug into the port on left side of unit. The right hand side LED on jack will
illuminate GREEN and then start flashing to indicate good connection and activity. The left hand side LED will
only illuminate (AMBER/YELLOW) to indicate the RJ45 reset button has been held in long enough to cause a
‘reset IP to Factory’ settings. The SPM-200 requires a 100BaseT connection.

4.0 SET-UP MONITORING & DATA LOGGING
The SPM-200 Power Monitor does the following:
• Displays the current values of the temperature, 3 DC voltages and 2 AC voltages, 1 DC current value
and 3 contact closures. The temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• Allows the user to set multiple alarms on each of the measurements above. The alarms can be set to
go off if the voltage or current exceeds some value or falls below some other values. Alarms can be set
to go off if one of the contact closures goes from closed to open or vice versa. Multiple alarm
thresholds can be set on each measurement
• Sends email(s) to one or more address(es) if an alarm is tripped. Text messages can also be generated.
Emails can be sent to different addresses depending on which threshold has been crossed. For
example, an email can be sent to the first responder’s address when the voltage falls below
100V. If the voltage drops below 90V an email can be sent to the second level responder. Additionally
SNMP traps can be generated when an alarm is triggered.
• Logs data from all the inputs. The log holds data from all the inputs for the last thirty days. The user
can request that one or more inputs be graphed over a certain time period. The user can request the
entire log be downloaded in CSV format, which can be read by Microsoft Excel or similar analysis
software.
4.1 Basic Software Setup
4.1.1 Initial Setup
This section will show how to do an initial setup of a new SPM-200. The easiest way to do this is to connect a
laptop or some other PC directly to the unit to set the basic parameters.
As shipped from the Factory the SPM’s network interface is configured as follows:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.123
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
To do the initial setup you must connect a laptop or a PC to the SPM using the Ethernet crossover cable
supplied with the SPM, and configure the PC’s network card to match the SPM’s settings. The following steps
will guide you through the process. (Note: you must use the supplied crossover cable, a regular Ethernet cable
will not work).
1) Power the SPM with a DC 12, 24 or -48V source “wall wart” or other power supply. CAUTION: if you intend
to power the SPM from -48VDC power AND monitor a -48VDC supply the input power MUST come from an
isolated DC-DC converter. Newmar will supply a suitable converter free of charge – contact Newmar
at 800-854-3906 or e-mail [e-mail] and request model: 48-12-li.
2) The green power indicator should illuminate. Soon after powering the green status indicator will began
blinking periodically.
3) Connect the SPM to a PC or laptop using the Ethernet crossover cable provided with the unit
(P/N 873-0048-0.)
4) The unit has now been connected to the PC – the next step is to configure the PC’s network interface card
(NIC) to talk to the SPM.

FIGURE 4: SPM-200 Homepage (Un-Configured Unit) Using Chrome Browser
If you don’t see the above webpage, check to make sure
• the green power light is lit
• the Link indicator on the Ethernet jack is lit
• the PC and the SPM are connected with the crossover cable
• You have correctly set the NIC in the PC
The unit name in the upper right hand side: “Newmar SPM” is also a default and can be replaced with
whatever you choose.
You have now successfully connected a local PC to the SPM and displayed the initial home web page.
You have proved that your SPM-200 is functional and that you can connect to it with a web browser. The
next parts of the manual will cover how to set up the SPM so it can be accessed over the Internet, and how
to further configure the SPM. Multiple unit tip: if configuring multiple SPM-200s with the same settings, we
recommend downloading a macro application that auto fills the web browser fields automatically like
iMacros from Chrome. To download application, here is the Google shortened URL goo.gl/Vfq3lv (type URL
exactly as shown).

4.1.3 Setting the Clock
This section covers setting the clock and configuring your SPM to connect over a network. NOTE: If you don’t
have a network to connect to, the SPM-200 can be used as a simple data logger with a Web interface. The
only item that you must set is the clock, as described below. To set the clock, place cursor over ‘config’ and
select “System Clocks’ from the drop down menu.
FIGURE 6: Setting the Clock
Select “Manual –GMT” in the “Set Clock Method” pulldown. Enter the date and time in the appropriate boxes.
The box asks for the time in GMT, and the offset from GMT for your local area. That is not necessary if you are
setting the clock manually. Just set the local date and time and put “0:00” as the GMT to local offset. Be sure to
click “Save” when you are done. The date and time should then be displayed at the top of each page, and the
SPM will begin logging data.
Note: The SPM will not adjust for Daylight Savings Time; you have to do that manually.
It is also possible for the SPM to determine the correct time from an NTP server if one is available. Since the
SPM is not connected to a real network that won’t work now.

5.0 SPM-200 Web Page Overview
The Sensors Page shows the current value of all the inputs to the SPM. A Sensors Page from an SPM that has
been running a while is shown on the following page, see FIGURE 8:
FIGURE 7: SPM-200 Sensors (Unconfigured Unit)
This page allows the user to select data inputs and graph them over a chosen time period. The graph
can show data over ranges in time from the last 10 minutes to the last 30 days. The user can select any
combination of the inputs to be graphed. At the bottom of the page is shown the maximum length of the
log, in this case 30.3 days. That means if the SPM-200 has enough room in its memory to store data over that
time. The memory is set up as a circular buffer - if the SPM-200 has run for more than that time, new data will
replace the old on a first in – first out (FIFO) basis.
When you change the graphing periods, it will automatically update the graph.
If for some reason you want to delete all the data that is in memory, check the “Reset Logs” box. Caution –
there is no way to recover the data after the reset button is checked.
The check boxes only control what data is being graphed, not what is being logged. The SPM-200 always logs
the data from all the inputs. The data can be downloaded to a PC or a similar machine in Comma Separated
Value (CSV) format. CSV is a very simple and general way to store data in a file. Most analysis programs,
such as Microsoft Excel®, can read CSV data. So you can download all the data in memory and analyze it
with Excel®.
Again, don’t forget to click the “Save” button.

FIGURE 8: SPM-200 Sensors (Configured Unit)
Note that the default names on the previous illustration have been replaced by names that are more
meaningful in this installation. Some other configuration variables have been changed, such as the
temperature units. Temperature can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius, whichever you choose. The clock
has been set.
This unit has been running for a while, so it displays a graph of all the data. This graph is configurable; it
always shows all the data.
Note that ‘2 Alarms Tripped’ appears at the top of the page. The values for “System VDC 12345656” and ‘Temp
(F)’ are red instead of black, indicating that these are the values that tripped the alarms.
This page is automatically scanned and refreshed once every 5 seconds. You can force the page to show the
newest data immediately by clicking the “refresh” button on your browser.

5.1 Setting Low & High Alarm Trips
The Alarms web page is where you configure the alarms for the unit.
FIGURE 9: Alarms Page
The user selects which data item each alarm covers. In the example above, Alarm #01 is set to trip if the
(“Volts DC 1” input goes above 30.0V). We know it will trip if the value goes above the set point because “High
Trip” has been selected. Note Alarm #02 is set to trip if the (same input goes below 22.0V {“Low Trip”)}. Any
number of alarms can be set on each input value, as long as the total number of alarms is less than 20.
Note how Input Select is pulled down for Alarm #03. This illustrates how the user can select any input for any
given alarm.
When Alarm #01 is tripped it will send emails to the first two email addresses, and both SNMP traps will be
triggered. (We’ll see how to set the email addresses and SNMP traps on the Configuration Page later). Each
alarm can send emails to any combination of the 5 email addresses and 2 SNMP traps. It is common to set
one alarm to send an email to one or more email addresses if an input value exceeds a first threshold, and
set a second alarm to send emails to different address(es) if the same input value exceeds a second threshold.
This allows an escalation procedure to be set up.
If you make changes to this (and any other web page on the SPM-200) don’t forget to click “Save” when you’re
finished. If you don’t, your changes will be lost.
The Logging page graphs selected data over a selected time range, and controls data logging in general.
- VOLTS DC 3 Note: Alarm Low & High Trip are opposite of conventional thinking. For example, when setting a
‘Low Trip’ on a 48 volt battery, select ‘High Trip’ for -42.0 trip point.
5.2 Cameras Page
This is the web page that displays the camera images which can be set up by going to the ‘Config’ >
‘Cameras’. Click on ‘Update Cameras’ button to refresh images.

FIGURE 10: Logging Page
If for some reason you want to delete all the data that is in memory, click on the “Reset Logs”. Caution, there is
no way to recover the data after the reset button is checked.
The check boxes sensors (Sensors page) only control what data is being graphed, not what is being logged.
The SPM-200 always logs the data from all the inputs. The data can be downloaded to a PC or a similar
machine in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format. CSV is a very simple and general way to store data in a
file. Most analysis programs, such as Microsoft Excel®, can read CSV data. So you can download all the data
in memory and analyze it with Excel®.
FIGURE 11: Display Page
The Display page is where you set the “friendly names” of the device and all the inputs, and set the units that
you want temperature displayed in. The friendly name must be no more than 19 characters.
At the top of the page select whether you want the temperature displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees.
You also have the option of entering an offset for the temperature display. As is explained on the page, you
should not change the factory setting unless your SPM-200 is mounted somewhere with very little airflow. In
that case the heat generated by the SPM-200 itself might cause the display to read a bit high.

The most important thing to do on this page is to set the name of this SPM-200, and more meaningful names
for all of the inputs.
As always, remember to select “Save” or your changes will not take effect.
5.3 Configuration Page
FIGURE 12: Top of Configuration Page
5.3.1 Reset All to Default Values
The first entry allows you to reset the configuration settings to the defaults. It will restore all the friendly names
to the defaults, as well as other configuration settings including account names and passwords you may have
made. However, it will not change the IP address.
Caution: When using the “Reset All to Default Values” button, remember to re-enter your account names and
passwords.
5.3.1.1 AC Voltage Offset
The Line Voltage input allows you add on offest voltage to compensate for inaccuracy. For example, if line
voltage measurement is low by 10 volts, add ‘10’ to this box and click SAVE. A positive 10 votls will be added
and displayed to what this input is sensing.
5.3.2 Zero Current Channel (Shunt)
“Zero Current Channel” allows you to zero out any offset in the Shunt Current Channel. This channel measures
a DC current by reading the (very small) voltage across the (very small value) shunt resistor that the current
to be measured is flowing through. It is possible that there might be a constant offset on the reading that
causes the displayed value of the current to be wrong. Clicking the “Zero Current Channel” button zeros out
this error. CAUTION: be sure that there is no current flowing through the shunt before clicking this button. If
there is some current flowing then clicking the button will introduce a constant error into the current reading.

The SPM-200 can be configured to send emails when alarms are raised. Emails can be sent to any
combination of five addresses. Clicking a checkbox next to the right of an email address will send a
notification to this receipent in the event of a power interruption. Refer back to FIGURE 9 – there we
determined which alarms will cause emails to go to which of the five addresses. Here is where we set those
addresses.
The SPM-200 uses the standard SMTP email services. Contact Newmar support for information on using other
email systems such as Gmail or AOL. Contact your system administrator or ISP for the SMTP addresses for your
system. The emails that are sent will have the return address that is entered in the “From” Email Address field,
and they will contain information about which alarm has been tripped and why.
Again, the figure above is for illustration purposes only. It doesn’t make much sense to have the “From” and
“To” addresses be the same, but there’s no reason you can’t set it that way.
Again, don’t forget to click the “Save” button.
To verify email has been set-up properly, click on ‘Save and Test’ to receive a test email.
5.3.4 Sending Text Messages
The SPM can send text messages by sending emails to a special address at the cell phone provider. Below is a
list of addresses for some popular providers. For example, if you have cell service with AT& T, you can send a
test message by sending an email to [email protected], where xxxxxxxxxx is your cell phone number.
Simply enter this data in “To Email address 1-5”, and save. Note: you will need to select under the ALARMS tab
which alarms are to be routed to this email to receive a text message.
