System Monitor software enables configuring and monitoring of a Sageon III Power System from a local or remote
personal computer (PC). Figure 5-1 shows the various access options.
Local monitoring involves a PC connected to the USB connector on a System’s operator panel.
Remote monitoring also connects a Sageon III Power System to a PC, however, they can be separated by a few feet or by hundreds of
miles. Your company’s Ethernet network or intranet, the Internet, or a pair of telephone modems can provide the interconnection.
Refer to TG990.4262.10 for more details on SageView.

5.1 CONFIGURATION
Use SageView to develop a completely new configuration and then upload this configuration to a connected Sageon III Power System.
If an operating configuration requires minor parameter value changes, download the configuration from the System to the PC, edit as
needed, and then uploaded to the same System or to another connected System.
SageView benefits:
•
Saves time since configuration development and Sageon III Power System installation can proceed simultaneously
•
Reduces configuration errors since the configuration can be developed and checked for accuracy at a PC before being uploaded to
the System
•
Includes on-line security with access code and password protection
•
Provides a permanent configuration record for comparison with operating cost data and service records
5.2 MONITORING
SageView screens provide for efficient, effective monitoring of System operation. System output voltage and current, alarms, battery
status, and many other performance parameters are read on a single PC display.
