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
that a Controller has been
discovered and needs to be
configured. The link will take
you to the Controller
Configuration page shown here
(filled out), which otherwise can
be found under Settings/Smart
Controls. This form needs to be
completed using the information
on the Controller Set-up
Worksheet.
As with the Energy Monitor
Channel Configuration page,
there is some basic information to enter at the top of the page. Clicking on any row will bring
up a dialog box to be used to enter the information about the circuits (or existing contactors)
connected to each Control Zone, labeled Z1, Z2, etc. The information requested includes: the
name and breaker # of the Breaker Panel
powering the Zone (which will generally be the
same for all Zones); an indication of whether the
Controller is being used with a new or existing
contactor panel; if the former an indication of
whether the Breaker panel being controlled is
being monitored for energy use and the name of
the monitor (or a name for the Panel if not); the
breaker # and label (name) of the circuits being
controlled (or contactors if the Controller is being
used with an existing contactor panel); if a circuit
is being monitored, the SiteSage Energy Monitor
Channel number; and a name for the Zone.
