4.0 CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
The Sageon III Power System is locally configured and operated from the operator panel. See the SageView chapter for remote
configuration and operation. The operator panel is mounted below the distribution doors.
The operator panel consists of a 2-line alphanumeric display, six push buttons with tactile feedback, three status LEDs, and a USB
communications connector. Menus, data, status/alarm messages, and parameter values appear on the display. Display contents are
selected using the six buttons. System status is also shown by the three LEDs below the display. A USB-B port is provided on the left
side of the operator panel for connecting a personal computer (PC). Operator panel operation, displayed data, and communications are
all controlled by the SCU (Sageon III Control Unit). The operator panel is the Sageon III Power System’s HMI (human machine
interface).
Complete Sageon III Power System configurations can be created at the operator panel. Alternatively, the System can be configured
from a personal computer (PC) running SageView System Monitor software. When the System is initially powered, the configuration
stored in the SCU provides the System operating parameters. This configuration can be the default, factory-installed configuration or a
configuration you created on a PC and uploaded to the SCU. Table 4-1 lists the default values; note that some default values will vary
with customer specified equipment, such as the number of Rectifiers installed. Many values are user configurable and a column is
provided in the table for recording of user-selected values.
To configure the System from the operator panel, review the screen sequences described in the following sections and enter the
requested data. To download a configuration to a PC or to upload a configuration from a PC, refer to Chapter 5 SageView. The SCU
must be powered during any configuration efforts.
In this chapter, Sections 4.1 and 4.2 describe the “Home” screen and use of the operator panel push buttons. Sections 4.3 and 4.4
address the status LEDs and alarm messages. Sections 4.5 through 4.9 explore the menu options available for configuration and
operation of the System.
