The user configurable auxiliary relays contacts are shown above. The contacts are rated for 1A 250VAC or 1A
32VDC and have >1kV isolation to the coils. The pin configuration is pin 1 at the right as seen in Figure 7.

The relays, being user configurable, can be arranged to
activate for multiple alarm conditions or a single alarm
only. The logic can be inverted for individual relays so
that one becomes a controller failure indicator (use the
normally closed contact as this will also indicate if the
relay power has failed).

CONTROLLER POWER CONNECTIONS
Power for the Controller and its peripherals is derived from the DC bus or the charged battery. The Battery
connection module has reverse polarity protection circuit; however, a reversed connection will fail to power the
controller. There is one connection to the (+) terminal and one connection to the (-) battery terminal.
Remove the top cover of the Sageon shield to view the power connections to the Battery Distribution Module
(BDM). The red wire should be connected to the BATTERY POS(+) terminal, X16. The black wire should be
connected to the BUS (-) and LVDS COMMON terminals, X2 and X9, respectively. Connect the black wire to
the battery (-) terminal and the red wire to the battery (+) terminal to complete the power connections to the
Sageon Shield.
The system voltage is sensed solely on the connections to the battery. No additional user connections are required
to power the Controller.

FRONT PANEL USB COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTION
The front USB port on the Controller is configured as USB-slave and has a B-type connector. A standard USB A-
to-B cable is required. The Controller can only communicate via the USB port to a PC running the SageView
software.
The USB connection requires that a USB driver be installed on the PC. The first time the Controller is plugged
into the PC via the USB port, a Microsoft® Windows dialogue box will appear asking the user to install the
Controller USB Interface drivers. The Microsoft® Windows operating system should be able to find the drivers
automatically on the Sageview CD-ROM, assuming it is in the CD-ROM drive of the PC.
If SageView is running when the unit is plugged in, a Windows dialogue box will appear asking the user if they
wish to connect to the unit immediately. Otherwise, the user will need to select the Controller from the available
controller USB devices in USB section in the Connection Setup.

REMOTE COMMUNICATION CONNECTION
The SageNET/SNMP remote communications module is located to the left of the alarm relay header when viewed
from the rear. The SageNET module is capable of delivering plant information via an ethernet connection to
