RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
&
GENERAL EQUIPMENT INFORMATION
Please Note: For your protection, the following information and the product manual should be read and
thoroughly understood before unpacking, installing, or using the equipment.
UNIPOWER, LLC presents all equipment to the delivering carrier securely packed and in perfect
condition. Upon acceptance of the package from us, the delivering carrier assumed responsibility for its
safe arrival to you. Once you receive the equipment, it is your responsibility to document any damage the
carrier may have inflicted, and to file your claim promptly and accurately.
1. PACKAGE INSPECTION
1.1 Examine the shipping crate or carton for any visible damage: punctures, dents, and any other signs of
possible internal damage.
1.2 Describe any damage or shortage on the receiving documents, and have the carrier sign their full name.
1.3 If your receiving freight bill notes that a Tip-N-Tell is attached to your freight, locate it. If the Tip-N-Tell
arrow has turned even partially blue, this means the freight has been tipped in transport. Make sure the
carrier notes this on your receipt before you sign for the freight.
2. EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
2.1 Within fifteen days, open the crate and inspect the contents for damages. While unpacking, be careful not
to discard any equipment, parts, or manuals. If any damage is detected, call the delivering carrier to
determine appropriate action. They may require an inspection.
*SAVE ALL SHIPPING MATERIAL FOR THE INSPECTOR TO SEE!
2.2 After the inspection has been made, call UNIPOWER. We will determine if the equipment should be
returned to our plant for repair, or if some other method would be more expeditious. If it is determined
that the equipment should be returned to UNIPOWER, ask the delivering carrier to send the packages
back to UNIPOWER at the delivering carrier's expense.
2.3 If repair is necessary, we will invoice you for the repair so that you may submit the bill to the delivering
carrier with your claim form.
2.4 It is your responsibility to file a claim with the delivering carrier. Failure to properly file a claim for
shipping damages may void warranty service for any physical damages later reported for repair.
3. HANDLING
Equipment can be universally heavy or top-heavy. Use adequate humanpower or equipment for handling.
Until the equipment is securely mounted, be careful to prevent the equipment from being accidentally
tipped over.

4. NAMEPLATE
Each piece of UNIPOWER equipment is identified by a part number on the nameplate. Please refer to
this number in all correspondence with UNIPOWER.
5. INITIAL SETTINGS
All equipment is shipped from our production area fully checked and adjusted. Do not make any
adjustments until you have referred to the technical reference or product manual.
6. SPARE PARTS
To minimize downtime during installation or operation, we suggest you purchase spare fuses, circuit
boards and other recommended components as listed on the Recommended Spare Parts List in the back of
the product manual. If nothing else, we strongly recommend stocking spare fuses for all systems.

Sageon Shield Standalone Battery Monitor
PM990-4023-01, Issue 4 1
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 Sageview software 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.

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 the
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 connections (right) and remote communications module location (left)
Figure 8. Alarm relay board connections
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.
