    Note: This procedure assumes a custom SAGEON PSMC I installation in an existing power plant. 2.2.1 The SAGEON PSMC I should be mounted at eye level for easy access and display viewing. The unit requires only one rack space for mounting. No precautions are necessary for internal cooling.
  • Page 16: Installation Procedure Outline

    GENERAL PROCEDURE OUTLINE 2.4.1 Verify the part number on the SAGEON PSMC I conforms to the voltage of the power plant before installation. The SAGEON PSMC I functions with +/-24 Vdc or +/-48 Vdc input power without adjustment. Maximum voltage input is 60 Vdc; minimum is 20 Vdc.

    2.5.1 Sketch out the wire routing from the SAGEON PSMC I on paper to determine the best routing that allows the maximum number of wires to be bundled together from the SAGEON PSMC I to the furthermost possible connection point.
  • Page 18: Wiring The Sageon Psmc I

    2.5.2 Always use multi-conductor twisted pair or jacketed cables whenever possible. Start cabling from the SAGEON PSMC I, filling in the wire color codes on the Datasheet as connections to the SAGEON PSMC I are made. If same color coded wires must be used repeatedly, use sticky wire labels to uniquely label each wire.

    References to key presses and/or menus will be highlighted in bold print. On the +24/-48v unit, the user selects the operation voltage in software after which the SAGEON PSMC I automatically defaults to the proper alarm thresholds. No jumpers or switch settings are required to accommodate voltage changes.
  • Page 24: Sageon Psmc I Menu Structure

    Note: Analog/digital input channels are not continuously polled in “analog test mode”. 3.1.3 Accessing the Menus The SAGEON PSMC I always defaults to the idle display screen if no key presses occur within 5 minutes from any menu. This prevents the user from inadvertently leaving the unit in a sub-menu where operation could be impaired, such as a test mode.

The user should read through this material then experiment with their unit to become familiar and comfortable with programming the SAGEON PSMC I.
  • Page 29: Factory Default Settings

    The Configure menu descriptions detail the full implementation for each menu. Since the SAGEON PSMC I has been factory programmed many of the channels and alarm thresholds will not appear when the user first enters some menus. Use the following table of Factory settings to determine the initial status for these menus.

  • Page 35: Calibrate Gain

    The Calibrate Gain menu allows the user to quickly calibrate any analog channel to provide an accurate reading scaled for volts, amps, or degrees. Since the overall performance of the SAGEON PSMC I is tied directly to the accuracy of its measurements careful attention to detail is mandatory when calibrating the SAGEON PSMC I.
  • Page 36: Shunt Calibration Calculations

    Calibration the easiest method is to measure the sensor output on the temperature inputs at the rear of the SAGEON PSMC I. Reading between the SIG and RTN with a DVM on the milli- volt range provides a voltage that can be read directly as Degrees Fahrenheit. For example, a reading of 782 mV can be read as 78.2°F for entry as the calibration value.
