The SiteSage Controller can be used either with previously installed contactors OR with a contactors in a SiteSage provided Contactor Box. -
Page 4: Introduction To The Sitesage Controller
The SiteSage Controller connects wirelessly to the SiteSage Gateway, which in turn connects to the broadband infrastructure in the facility. Installation of the Gateway is covered in the SiteSage Install Guide, and the Gateway will most likely have been installed prior to the installation of the SiteSage Controller. Nevertheless, Gateway installation procedures are repeated in Appendix C. -
Page 5: Installing The Sitesage Controller
Step 1: Mounting the Controller Enclosure on the Wall There are mounting tabs at each corner of the SiteSage Controller for mounting on the wall. Where there are existing contactors, mount the Controller as close to the existing contactor box as possible to minimize the connecting wire run. -

There is theoretically no limit on the number of contactors that can be connected to the same zone using this approach. Figure-3 shows a two Contactor box with the A1 and A2 terminals daisy chained together. © 2015 Powerhouse Dynamics, Inc. Page 7... -
Page 8: Step 4: Connecting New Contactors To The Circuits To Be Controlled
If more than 3 circuits are being controlled by a zone, feel free to name more than 1 circuit on a row, or cross out the pre-filled zone numbers to be able to use more rows for the same zone and use multiple Worksheets to fit in all circuits. © 2015 Powerhouse Dynamics, Inc. Page 8... - Page 9 The contactors are rated for 32A (80A in the case of the single contactor box), and the appropriate wire gauge must be used. A #2 Phillips screwdriver should be used and the wires should be torqued to 26.6 lb in. © 2015 Powerhouse Dynamics, Inc. Page 9...

Page 11: Appendix A: Controller Channel Configuration
Before the SiteSage Controller can be used to establish on/off schedules, it must be configured. This is very similar to the process for configuring SiteSage Energy Monitor channels. When you log into the SiteSage Portal Facility View for a location that has had a new Controller installed you will see a message... - Page 12 The dialog box defaults to 3 circuits or controllers per zone, but additional circuits can be added by clicking on Add Another Circuit. Once this information has been entered for each Zone and corresponding circuit or contactor, the Controller will be ready to for setting schedules. © 2015 Powerhouse Dynamics, Inc. Page 12...

Page 13: Appendix B: Sitesage Controller Maintenance
Appendix B: SiteSage Controller Maintenance It is recommended that the following be performed semi-annually to ensure proper operation. Be sure ALL electrical connections are tightened to the manufacturer’s suggested torque ratings (See chart below). Check components for any visual damage, replace if necessary. Be sure all/any finger safe covers are in place before unit is put back into operation. -

If you need to change a Gateway from Ethernet to Wi-Fi, or vice versa, contact SiteSage Support (support@sitesage.net). As long as the Gateway can be connected to the Internet, new firmware can be downloaded to change the connection method.

The page shown to the right which is part of the SiteSage Embedded Web Server, will load. Press Configure and the page will change to let you set your configuration parameters.
- Page 18 When a SiteSage Controller or Energy Monitor has successfully paired with the Gateway, the DATA light will turn solid green. If you installed the Gateway first, as described here, the DATA light will not do anything until a SiteSage Energy Monitor unit has been installed and configured.
- Page 19 DATA light is not solid green, it has not successfully paired with any SiteSage Controllers or Energy Monitors. Try moving the Gateway closer to electric panel. If that does not work, try power cycling the Controller or Energy Monitor, by flipping the breaker for the circuit that powers it.

Ethernet or Wi-Fi (B or G only). It only requires Port 80 to be open, and only makes outgoing HTTP requests to the SiteSage servers. There is no way to communicate with the Gateway from the Internet, other than through the responses to the HTTP request. - Page 21 NOTE: The optional Wi-Fi smart thermostat does not have an Ethernet option. Peer-to-peer access must be enabled for SiteSage to be able to connect to the Wi-Fi thermostat. If the Gateway is sharing a public Wi-Fi network, where peer-to-peer access is not advisable, please set up a separate SSID for SiteSage Gateway.
