Installation Sageon II Bulk Product Manual
PM990-5201-00, Rev 7 3-1
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 MOUNTING THE POWER MODULE
The Power module is mounted into a standard 19” rack using 12-24 screws. A minimum of eight screws are required to
secure the Power Module into the rack. It is recommended to initially install the Power Module into the rack without either
the Controller or the rectifiers in place.
Figure 3-1 Mount points for securing Power Module in a rack
Wiring for the standard Power Module is rear access only.
3.1.1 Tools Required for Installation
•No. 2 screwdriver (for tightening rack bolts)
•No. 1 screwdriver
•Insulated socket set wrench
•Small flat-blade screwdriver (for tightening DIN rail terminal screws)
3.1.2 Gaining Access to Rear Wiring
NOTE: Access to the rear wiring should be limited to qualified service personnel. It is recommended to remove the AC
power before gaining access to the rear wiring due to the safety hazard present inside the electrical enclosure. Similarly, the
energy hazard associated with the batteries connected to the DC bus must be addressed with appropriately insulated tools
and other measures to prevent accidental short circuits to the DC bus.
To open the top rear cover, remove the rear M3 screws securing the Lexan cover to the top.
To gain further access to the wiring, remove the rear cover grill by removing the ten screws holding the Lexan grill. (See
Figure 2.5)
3.2 OVERVIEW OF EXTERNAL WIRING CONNECTIONS
SD-SAGEON2.LXX drawings, located in the back of the manual, show the internal and interface schematic for the Sageon II
Bulk. For indicating how a system is connected, the same schematic applies to other Power Module products. The system
shown is for a –48V system where the positive side of the DC bus is tied to ground, usually on the common return bar. It is
also possible to float the output, but under these conditions, there is no guarantee that all voltages on the DC bus will stay
below the Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) limits with respect to ground during fault conditions.
The bulk DC output connections are shown in Figure 2.5. The positive terminal bus is located on the left side, looking from
the back.

Installation Sageon II Bulk Product Manual
PM990-5201-00, Rev 7 3-2
The AC input connections are located on the left side of the module. There are three (3) 400A & five (5) 600A 1” conduit
knockouts located along the left side, looking from the back, for the electrician. The AC feed should be wired as individually
protected feeds for each rectifier (recommended and preferred) to provide discrimination of fault protection devices. Where
the AC breaker option is integrated into the Power Module, each rectifier feed is individually protected and the installer is
only required to connect a single AC supply (1 phase) to the AC DIN rail terminations.

3.3.3 Surge protection requirements
The rectifiers are internally protected for surges up to 6kV/3kA. For higher levels of protection, particularly for sites with
high incidence of lightning or switching surges, additional surge protection is required on the AC feed to the Power Module.
Typically, surge arrestors with a 10kA-40kA rating are required with the highest level of protection being provided when
arrestors are connected between phase-neutral (x3 phases) and between phase/neutral-earth (x 3 phases).
Other arrangements (for 3-phase “Y”) with similar levels of protection are also possible as shown below. The voltage rating
of the arrestor should be selected based on the maximum AC voltage likely to appear on the line. The arrestor should limit
the voltage to <1200V – 1400V at the rated maximum pulse current.
Figure 3-11 Surge Protection
3.4 BULK LOAD CONNECTIONS
Figure 3-12 Bulk Load Connections
A bulk load can be either a single large load, or a cable connection to an additional, external DC distribution unit. There are
four 3/8” holes located on 1” centers available for securing four cables, with double-hole lugs.
3.5 BATTERY CONNECTIONS
The cables can be either brought out through the cut out adjacent to the return bar, or through the breakout slot in the top
cover.

Installation Sageon II Bulk Product Manual
PM990-5201-00, Rev 7 3-8
This cable must be sized accordingly to carry the battery short circuit current for the time required to clear the battery
protection devices.
Note: Ensure the battery circuit breakers are open before connecting the batteries. Connect the switched cable connections
first, followed by the common return cable connections.
3.6 TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The optional sensors for measuring ambient and battery temperature are the same device (Part No. 385-5941-03, -06, -15, -
30). The system auto-detects if the sensor is plugged into one of the positions (4) or (5) shown in Figure 26. If no sensor is
installed, the Controller will show “Not Available” in the menu items for the temperature measurements. Locate the ambient
sensor close to the intake air zone of the Power Module. Locate the battery sensor on a battery block in the middle Module
of the battery bank (likely hot zone).
3.7 AUXILIARY RELAY CONNECTIONS
Figure 3-13 Communication Interface Board (opt) & Multiple Alarm Board
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.

3.8 CONTROLLER POWER CONNECTIONS
Power for the Controller and its peripherals is derived from the DC bus. No additional user connections are required to
power the Controller or provide system voltage regulation.
3.9 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 Sageview 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.
3.10 REMOTE COMMUNICATION CONNECTION
The optional remote communications modules can be one of the following:
P/N Description
103.4014.00 TCP/IP Interface Card
103.4015.00 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Card w/SNMP {Superseded by 103.4036.00
103.4036.00 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Card w/SNMP v3
The following sections describe the interfaces in more detail and cover some of the set up requirements for the more
advanced interfaces.
Due to the slow data rate (9600bps), termination of the line with resistors generally is not required. However, if high rate of
data corruption is experienced (slow data update in monitoring program), line termination resistors should be installed at both
ends of the network. The value of the resistors depends on the gauge of the twisted pair and should be equal (or closest) to
line characteristic impedance. I.e. for a twisted pair of 24AWG wires characteristic impedance of 100ohm – use a 100-ohm
resistor.
3.10.1 TCP/IP and Sageview Interfaces
The interface is a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet adaptor. The TCP/IP port sends Controller data over a network to a PC running
Sageview control and monitoring software. The Sageview interface provides this function for up to 2 PCs on the network
simultaneously as well as providing SNMP traps on alarms, system time synchronization to a global clock if access to the
internet is available, and a simplified system status Webpage (HTTP). Both units have the same footprint and connections.
If direct connection to a PC network port is required, a crossover network cable should be used. To set up Sageview, follow
the instructions on the installation CD.
To enable network access on the TCP/IP port, an IP address must be assigned to the port. If access over the Internet is
considered, the gateway address must be programmed as well. There are several methods to do that, two are recommended
and are described in Appendix A. Other operating parameters of the interface are pre-programmed and should not be
changed.
To be able to assign a network address, the Ethernet address (referred to also as hardware address or MAC ID) of the
interface must be known. A small label indicating the MAC ID similar to one shown below. The factory default IP address is
192.168.10.251.
Note: The interface IP address cannot be changed until the Power Module has been commissioned and the Controller is
operational.
