Installation Guide

Last Update - December, 2014

Installation Process: Quick Overview

Please review the full Installation Guide before proceeding; this Overview provides basic steps for

installing the SiteSage Gateway and Energy Monitor, but not the level of detail you will need to safely

install these and other SiteSage components. Installation should only be performed by a licensed

electrician.

Step 3: Plug in the SiteSage Gateway at a secure location within about 30 feet of the electric panels to

be monitored, and connect it to the broadband Internet network in the facility. SiteSage can be

connected either by Wi-Fi or via a wired Ethernet connection, as described in Section 2. Once

the Gateway is connected to the Internet, the LINK light on the Gateway will turn solid green.

When an Energy Monitor unit has been installed and registered and is seen by the Gateway, the

DATA light will turn solid green as well.

Step 2: Turn off power to the circuit panel where the SiteSage Energy Monitor components are being

installed and open the panel. Connect the black wire of the power cable to an empty (15A or

20A) breaker and the white wire to the neutral bar. Clamp the appropriate-size current

transformer/sensors, first

onto the incoming Main

power lines (if they are

being monitored), and then

onto all branch circuits

being monitored, recording

each circuit’s information on the Channel Setup Worksheet as you go.

Step 3: Connect the other end of the sensors to the Channels (ports) on the SiteSage

Energy Monitor “ePod” and “xPods”, if any, as described in Section 3. Place

the provided labels on the sensors and the wire near the Channel

connections to keep track of which circuits have been connected to which

SiteSage Monitor Channels. Connect the other end of the power cable to

the SiteSage Monitor ePod and find a convenient space to mount the unit

inside the panel. (Make sure the ePod is not powered up until all the xPods

have been connected). You can then organize the wires with the provided

wire ties. Close the circuit panel, turn power back on, and plug the SiteSage

Gateway into an electrical outlet.

Step 4: Register and configure SiteSage online. Please go to

http://SiteSage.net/setup and follow the on-screen instructions. This

process can, but need not, be completed by the person who installed the unit, and will require

completed Channel Setup Worksheets. A Software License Key, which should be provided by

the Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner, is also required for Registration. After the

Registration and Configuration process is completed it is possible to access the SiteSage Portal at

Sitesage.net. You are then able to configure the SiteSage Smart Thermostats. (See Section 4).

NOTE: In the case of 3-Phase power, it is best practice to install all sensors is the same direction, with

the arrows FACING the breaker panel (or, in the case of 150A sensors, with the label facing AWAY

from the panel). Please see Section 3.2 for further explanation.

Important Safety Information

NOTE: Installation should not be started until the qualified installer has read this entire

Installation Guide.

SiteSage can monitor all of the circuits in a facility independently, and therefore provide a

detailed view of electricity usage. In order to do this, sensors need to be installed on circuit

breakers inside the electrical panels. The installation is very straightforward and every effort

has been made to provide for the safe, secure installation of the SiteSage components.

However, the installation of SiteSage Energy Monitor units requires the cover of the electrical

circuit breaker panels to be removed.

When this is done, there is the potential hazard of shock, burn,

or even electrocution.

Even when the Main Circuit Breaker has been turned to the

“OFF” position, there may still be areas within the circuit

breaker panel that are electrified, or “hot”. Installation should

be performed by a licensed electrician only.

SiteSage is suitable for installation with 120/240V single-phase 60Hz service as well as 3-phase

208v or 480v service normally found in North America. It is not suitable for 230V 50Hz service

commonly found in other regions of the world. (This version of SiteSage also does not support

346/600V service still in use in parts of Canada).

All wiring in the United States must be installed in accordance with the

latest adopted edition of the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70,

NEC) and state or local requirements. All wiring in Canada must be

installed in accordance with the latest adopted edition of the Canadian

Electrical Code (CSA C22.2 CEC, Part I) and any provincial or local

requirements.

A typical installation of a SiteSage Energy Monitor with 25 channels

should take approximately one hour.

1. Introduction to SiteSage

SiteSageTM is an Enterprise Energy and Asset Management System that combines controls,

monitoring, diagnostics, and alerts designed to reduce energy costs and enhance operational

efficiencies across multiple small commercial facilities. Hardware components will vary from

location to location depending upon both the physical layout and the roles that the system is

intended to play. This Installation Guide addresses the hardware components most likely to be

included. Additional documentation may be required if other components are being added.

The SiteSage Energy Monitors and Smart Thermostats connect wirelessly to the SiteSage

Gateway, which in turn connects to the broadband infrastructure in the facility. This document

covers the tasks of connecting the Gateway, installing the Energy Monitors, and configuring the

system as a whole and the Energy Monitors and Smart Thermostats specifically. Instructions for

installing the Smart Thermostats are included with the specific thermostats purchased.

2. Setting up the SiteSage Gateway

The core of the system is the SiteSage Gateway. All other SiteSage hardware components

connect to the Gateway, either wired or wirelessly. The Gateway then connects to the

broadband infrastructure in the facility, either via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and provides the

connection to the SiteSage Portal. It uploads data on a minute by minute basis and brings back

new settings or commands. It is a small device (5.25” x 3.25” x 1.5”) that can be mounted on

the wall or placed on a table, ideally within about 30 feet of the electric panels it is connecting

to. Multiple Gateways may be required, either because of distance constraints or device

number constraints. (A single Gateway can connect to at most 10 electric panels).

Best practice is to install the Gateway first, although that is not a requirement.

2.1 Installing the SiteSage Gateway

Physically installing SiteSage Gateway is extremely simple. You can hang it on the wall with the

brackets provided, or place it on a table. Find a location within approximately 30 feet of the

electric panel(s) in which you will be installing SiteSage Energy Monitors, and near a 120 volt

power outlet. Attach the Power Supply to the Gateway and plug it in to the wall outlet. NOTE:

If there are multiple electric panels that are not close together, you may need additional

Gateways.

There are 3 LED status lights on

the Gateway. When the Gateway

powers on, the middle one,

marked PWR, should show solid

green, indicating that the

Gateway is drawing power. The

other LED’s will flash 3 times,

NOTE: The Gateway connects all of the SiteSage components to the Internet. If the Gateway

gets unplugged, the SiteSage Energy Monitors, Smart Thermostats, and other sensors will no

longer upload data (although they will collect and store the data – in the case of energy data for

up to 20 days - and the SiteSage controls will no longer accept settings changes. To ensure

uninterrupted operation please make sure to install the Gateway in a place where it is not likely

to be accidentally unplugged. Please note that the system cannot be registered until the

Gateway is connected to the Internet.

pause, and then go solid for about 2 seconds. If the Gateway has been configured with Wi-Fi,

the LEDs should flash green. If it was configured for Ethernet, they flash red. (If you do a

factory reset, as described later, the final flash will be orange). Subsequently, the LED on the

left, marked DATA, will turn red for 2 seconds when a SiteSage Energy Monitor or Controller

(described in a separate document) is trying to pair with the Gateway. SiteSage will not be able

to successfully communicate until the Gateway has been connected to the Internet1.

2.2 Connecting to the Internet

The SiteSage Gateway is designed to transmit data in near-real time over the Internet to the

SiteSage Servers, where data is analyzed and presented on the SiteSage Portal (described in the

SiteSage User Manual, which is accessible on-line via the Support link of the SiteSage Portal.

Please see Appendix C for system network requirements.

The Gateway connects to a network in one of 2 ways; hard-wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Currently

the Gateway needs to be pre-configured for one or the other, although it is possible to change

the configuration remotely as long as the Gateway is connected. (Future versions of the

Gateway will support Ethernet and Wi-Fi simultaneously). If you have multiple Gateways, it is

possible to use Ethernet with some and Wi-Fi on others. Please note that SiteSage needs

Internet access only, and should be installed outside the firewall.

If you are using Ethernet, simply connect the Gateway’s Ethernet port to an Ethernet

connection using a standard Ethernet cable. (If there are no Ethernet ports near the Gateway,

you can use a power line bridge). This is all you need to do unless a static IP address or proxy

server is required for the facility, as described below. In that case, follow the instructions under

Step 2.

1 The Gateway also has 6 ports marked A1-A3 (analog ports) and D1-D3 (digital ports). These are for connecting

other sensors and devices, such as temperature sensors and water meters. Appendix D describes current support

for temperature sensors.

NOTE: You cannot pair a Gateway with a SiteSage Energy Monitor until it is connected to the

Internet. When a Gateway is activated and connected to the Internet, any unpaired but

configured SiteSage Monitors in range should find it and try to pair with it. If there are

multiple Gateways, a Monitor will try to connect to the one with the best signal. (If it ever

resets or loses communications it will again look for the best signal when it comes back on-

line). You can force an assignment to a different Gateway (on the Settings/Channels page on

the SiteSage Portal), but that is not recommended.

Many corporate networks will have security settings that do not easily allow systems to be

added to the network, so it may be necessary to have the system pre-provisioned, by providing

the Gateway’s MAC address to the corporate network support group in advance. (Please see

Appendix C for more information on network provisioning).

Alternatively, the SiteSage Gateway includes a Wi-Fi radio. If Wi-Fi is being used as the

connection method, follow the instructions below. (If you are not sure which connection

method was specified, check the Gateway; it should have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet label).

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. (When new connection

firmware is downloaded you will be disconnected from the Internet and need to re-connect

using the newly downloaded protocol).

Please note that using a public Wi-Fi network is not recommended. Often these systems will

have certain restrictions that may make it difficult to keep SiteSage connected at all times.

Also, SiteSage has no way to acknowledge acceptance of terms. Wi-Fi networks may also

require pre-provisioning, as described in Appendix C.

STEP 1 (Wi-Fi only)

When the Gateway turns on, it will create its own (ad hoc) Wi-Fi

network. When the ad hoc mode is established, the LINK light

will alternatively flash red/green for 5 seconds. Using a PC, Mac,

iPhone, or other device that connects to Wi-Fi networks2, follow

the standard process for identifying nearby networks. (Note:

there does not need to be a Wi-Fi network in the facility to see

the Gateway’s ad hoc network).

Find the network with a name like eMonGatwy-xxxxx (these are

the last 6 digits of the MAC address of the Gateway, which can be

found on the Gateway label), and connect to it. If your computer

displays an “unsecured network” message, click “Connect Anyway” and continue connecting to

the Gateway. If the connection was successful, Connected to eMonGatwy-xxxxxx will be

displayed.

2 Android no longer supports a native connection to ad hoc networks. You may be able to download a utility that

will let you connect. There may also be issues with Windows 8.1 and again utilities are available.

If you were unable to connect to the Gateway, try the process again. If you still cannot find the

network, do a (hard) factory reset of the Gateway (as described on Page 10) and try again.

STEP 2 (Wi-Fi; Ethernet for Proxy Server and Static Address)

Enter the address http://169.254.1.1/netcfg.htm in a browser

window. 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.

If you are using DHCP, where an IP address is automatically

selected, select Automatically as the configuration method. You will

see a list of available wireless networks displayed in the window.

Click on the facility’s Wi-Fi network to select it. If the network is

password protected, enter the Password. Click Apply Network

Settings and the Gateway will be connected to the network. It may

take 30 seconds or more for the LINK light to turn green to signify

that it is connected, so please be patient.

If you need to attach via a Proxy Server, enter the server

address and port on the Configuration page.

If you want to view or change the settings for any reason, or

simply get back to the Embedded Web Server, you must first

determine the Gateway’s IP address. If you have already

registered the system, log into the SiteSage Portal and go to

Settings/Channels. You will see a link called Gateway

Assignment. Follow that link and you will see the current IP

address of the Gateway. If you have not yet registered and

configured this location (but the account has already been

established), go to Sitesage.net/setup, log in, and enter the Gateway’s Serial # (found on the

back of the Gateway), which will return the then current IP address. (Registration and

Configuration is described in Section 5). At any time

you can also find the IP address by looking at the

router’s list of DHCP entries (using the MAC address of

the Gateway that is on the label).

If you want to use a static IP address, select Manual for

the configuration method. (It will default to

Automatic). You will be asked for the Static IP Address,

Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS1 and DNS2

(optional). Then hit Apply Network Settings.

If you have connected via Ethernet and want to set a

static IP address or connect to a proxy server, connect your laptop to the Gateway’s Ethernet

port and enter the address http://169.254.1.1 in your browser. (Make sure to disable any

cellular or Wi-Fi networks on your laptop). You will see the same screens you see here, with

Ethernet as the Connection type. Follow the instructions above to set a static IP address or

connect to a Proxy Server. If you set a static address, you can reconnect to the Gateway at a

later date by entering that address directly.

When the Gateway successfully connects to the facility network, the LINK light will turn and

remain solid green, other than a flash of orange once per minute as data is transmitted. (If you

see solid orange for about 10 seconds that means the Gateway is downloading new firmware;

both the LINK and DATA lights will flash red while the firmware is being loaded). Unpaired but

registered SiteSage Energy Monitors will immediately attempt to connect to the Gateway and

upload data; both the DATA and LINK lights on the Gateway will show solid orange for a couple

of seconds. (This will be repeated whenever data is uploaded or downloaded). When a

SiteSage 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.

If there is an error in the setup process, or the network connection fails for any reason, the LINK

light will not turn green. This may happen because you did not enter the security password

correctly, or if the connection was momentarily lost. If it becomes clear that the Gateway is not

connected to the internet, you will need to repeat the steps starting from STEP 1.

To do this, you will first need to do a hard (factory) reset of the Gateway. Press Reset. (Use a

paper clip and pull it out quickly). The DATA and LINK LEDs will flash 5 times, and then turn

solid for 2 seconds. Press Reset again (quickly) while the light is solid and the Gateway should

reset to its factory settings. The LEDs will display orange for about 2 seconds when the factory

reset is successful.

STEP 3

When the SiteSage Gateway Internet connection is completed successfully, make sure your

computer has re-connected to the facility network if you are going to be using it to register the

system. If it hasn’t, go back to your network connections screen to re-connect to the network.

Once the Gateway has successfully been connected to the Internet and Energy Monitor units

have been installed and configured, if the DATA light is not solid green, it has not successfully

paired with any SiteSage Energy Monitors. Try moving the Gateway closer to electric panel. If

that does not work, try power cycling the SiteSage Energy Monitor, by flipping the breaker for

the circuit that powers it. If that does not work, try power cycling the Gateway (which will then

need to be reconnected to the Internet). If neither of these works, please contact SiteSage

support.

3. Installing a SiteSage Energy Monitor

The SiteSage Energy Monitor is designed to capture data on electrical usage of potentially all

the circuits inside a facility. It consists of a set of sensors, known as Current Transformers (CTs)

and a set of small components, referred to as “Pods”, to which the sensors are attached. Each

installation of the SiteSage Energy Monitor will have 1 electricity Pod (ePod), which can

accommodate up to 15 CTs and communicates wirelessly with the Gateway. It may have 1 or

more expansion Pods (xPods), which are needed if more than 15 circuits are monitored in a

single panel. There is no physical limit to the number of electrical panels that can be monitored

The Energy Monitor is intended to be mounted inside a circuit

panel, which must be a UL or equivalent listed electrical

distribution box. The ePod is designed to monitor Mains

(power coming in from the utility grid) and up to 12 branch

circuits. It communicates via wireless RF radio (not Wi-Fi) to

the SiteSage Gateway.

xPods can each monitor 10 additional circuits. Up to 3 xPods

(which are daisy-chained together and are connected by cable

to the ePod) can be added, allowing the system to monitor up

to 45 circuits per panel, which is perhaps the most common

commercial electric panel size.

The (split core) Current Transformers clamp on to the breaker wires. A sensor needs to be

clamped around the wire coming out of the breaker for each circuit being monitored. NOTE:

Sensors are clamped around the insulated portion of the wire, NOT on bare wires. When the

sensor is clamped securely (you should hear a click), it will generally be loose around the wire.

On Main Electric Panels, two or three (in the case of 3-Phase power) sensors are used to

monitor power coming in through the Mains. The remaining sensors are used to monitor

individual (branch) circuits.

On the side of the ePod and the xPods are ports, or “Channels”, for connecting the sensors.

The channels are numbered 0-14 on the ePod and 1-10 on each xPod. The sensors are provided

as paired sets which connect to double channels (with the exception of a single port that can be

used, along with a double port, to monitor 3-phase Mains). The sensors have red labels (for

right or even) and green labels (for odd circuits) to help you keep track of which circuit has been

attached to which Channel. Please note that these markings have nothing to do with the left

and right sides of the electric panels.

The number and types of sensors depends on the system configuration. As an example, a

SiteSage M-25 is delivered with:

ePod

xPod

Optional Bus-Bar CT

• Six 50-Amp (black) sensors (3 pairs) for 208-Volt, 240-Volt or

480-Volt double pole or triple pole breakers.

• Sixteen 20-Amp sensors (8 pairs) used for monitoring single,

120-Volt or 277-Volt circuits, as well as double and triple pole

breakers in some cases.

For double or triple pole breakers, you must use the same size sensor on each breaker.

Monitoring 3-Phase Mains requires two 150-Amp spring loaded

sensors (connected together), and one single 150-Amp sensor.

(NOTE: As described below, at times each leg of a 3-phase circuit

will have multiple wires that will each requires a sensor.

Generally, installers should be provided with extra 150A sensors

as part of a Just-in-Case kit to address situations that were not

identified in advance, in order to be able to avoid a return visit).

If you end up with more of one type of sensor than you need and not enough of another, you

may use the extra 50-Amp sensors on smaller circuits and vice versa, although they may not

measure as accurately. (20-Amp CTs should measure accurately for up to a 30-Amp breaker; 50-

Amp CTs should provide good results for breaker sizes between 30A and 90A). For certain

larger loads you may need 150-Amp rather than the smaller CTs. As described later, it is

particularly important in this case to identify the size of

the sensors that you use on each circuit on your Channel

Setup Worksheet. An Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner

can provide additional sensors in the sizes required.

In some cases, 150-Amp CTs may be too small for the

Mains, or may not be able to be installed given the way the

Mains are configured. To address these situations, 300-

Amp, 600-Amp or 1,000-Amp bus-bar CTs can be ordered.

In other cases, you may have multiple smaller wires feeding

into each phase. In this case you can install CTs on each of

2 wires feeding the circuit. You will need to make sure the worksheet reflects this configuration,

which will also need to be reflected in the channel configuration portion of the registration

process.

Some commercial facilities have complex electrical installations with an Electrical Distribution

Center and multiple Main Panels. There are too many possible permutations of installation

configurations to describe here, but the basic installation process will generally be the same.

3.1 Channel Setup Worksheet

It is extremely important to accurately record which circuits are connected to which SiteSage

Channels, using the Channel Setup Worksheet included with each SiteSage Monitor unit.

(Note: there are usually labels associated with most if not all of the breakers, either on the

inside door of the panel or on the breakers themselves, but in some cases, labels will be

incorrect or missing. Since it is extremely important to know what is on the circuits being

monitored, before physically installing the SiteSage components it is suggested that the labels

on each circuit breaker be verified if at all possible. (Once SiteSage is installed and configured it

is possible to use the system to help identify miss-labeled circuits)).

The Channel Setup Worksheet should be filled out by the installer as the sensors are being

attached.

The form is divided into two sections. The upper section asks for general information;

specifically the following:

• Location address

• Serial # of the Energy Monitor (ePod) being installed, along with the Serial # of the

Gateway you are connecting it to. (The first 5 digits will be pre-filled)

• A description of the Circuit Panel to which the Energy Monitor is attached (e.g. “Main

Panel”)

• Whether the electrical service is 3-Phase “Wye” configuration, 3-Phase “Delta”

configuration3, or single phase. For 3 Phase please indicate whether it is 480V, 208V or

240V service

• The number of the breaker used to power the Energy Monitor ePod

• An indication of whether SiteSage should “compute” the Main Power by adding all

branch circuits, which should only be checked when the Mains cannot be measured.

(This only needs to be checked once per location; not for every electric panel).

The next section has information on the breakers and circuits, as well as the Channels that they

are connected to. Page 1 allows you to enter information on up to 25 circuits. If you are

installing a SiteSage M-45 unit, you enter the remaining information on Page 2. In this section

of the Worksheet, please:

• Record the Breaker Number as it appears on the electrical panel4

• Enter the rated size of the circuit breaker, measured in amps

• Indicate if 2 wires are being monitored on this individual breaker, with 2 CTs

• Check if it is a single, double pole or triple pole breaker

• Enter the Circuit Label as it appears on the panel - or as most appropriate. (If there are

multiple labels that are the same, such as RTU or Walk-in Freezer, add some

3 3-Phase Delta configurations generally have no neutral wires and have a different voltage than the Wye (Y)

configuration, which is much more common in smaller facilities. Because the voltages can vary across the phases,

SiteSage may be slightly less accurate in a Delta configuration. It is not recommended to install SiteSage with

Delta High Leg B or Corner Grounded configurations.

4 Please make sure you correctly link the circuit with the Channel you connect the CT to. Generally, double and

triple pole breakers should connect to neighboring Channels, but if you need to connect them to Channels that are

not adjacent, make sure you reflect that on the Worksheet; you might want to draw a line that connects those

channels. Similarly, if you need to use 2 channels for a single phase of a 3-phase breaker (i.e. putting CTs on 2

wires for each pole), make sure the Worksheet shows that breaker number twice with the same label.

differentiation, even if it is as simple as RTU1, RTU2 etc. The system will automatically

append different numbers if you do not)

• Check the size of the sensor you used on the circuit. As described earlier, generally

place 20-Amp sensors on 120-Volt or 277-Volt single pole circuits and 50-Amp sensors

on 240-Volt or 480-Volt double pole circuits, but this may not always be the case given

the size of the breaker, or possible given your supply of sensors. In the case of any

circuit, if you used a CT larger than 20, 50, or 150-Amps, indicate the size of the CT you

installed.

There is also a “Notes” field on the second page to identify anything unusual.

Please note that the Worksheet is organized by SiteSage Energy Monitor Channel number,

starting with Channel 0. If you attach sensors to circuits in order, starting with the Mains

(which are best connected to Channels 0, 1, and 2) and continuing with circuits 1 then 3 etc., it

should be very straightforward to enter the information. (For panels with odd circuit numbers

on the left and even on the right, it makes sense to work down the left side of the panel first

and then go to the right side). If you cannot or do not follow this order, please be very careful

that you list the correct circuit that you connect to each Channel.

There are multiple copies of the Worksheet included, in case you make a mistake or want to

generate a neater copy. If you are not the person who will be entering this information online

during the registration and configuration process, please make sure the information is neat

and legible to someone else. Once the Worksheet is used for the Configuration part of

registration, a copy should be kept by the Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner for support

purposes.

We cannot overemphasize the importance of this Worksheet;

unless it is accurate,

SiteSage will be unable to deliver its full benefit.

3.2 Installing the SiteSage Energy Monitor Components

The following steps involve opening the circuit breaker panel and installing the sensors. It is

extremely dangerous for an untrained person to attempt this installation since high voltage is

always present in the panel. Injury or death could result from improper usage.

3.2.1 Preparing the Electrical Panel

WARNING – only a licensed electrician should

undertake this and all subsequent installation

steps, based on local codes.

1. Turn off power to the panel you are installing

2. Remove the cover from breaker panel.

3. Decide where you will mount the SiteSage ePod and xPods.

Typically there will be room at the bottom or sides of the

panel; make sure you can install with the Channels facing

out, so that you can connect the sensors.

3.2.2 Connecting the Power Cable

SiteSage is designed to be powered by a 15A or 20A breaker. It will probably be easier to install

the Power Cable before you connect all of the sensors. However, do not power up the Energy

Monitor ePod until all of the xPods have been fully installed and connected.

The Power Cable has black and white wires. Find an unused breaker, loosen the screw slightly,

slip the black wire under the washer that sits under the screw, and then tighten the screw so

NOTE: Best practice is to plan out the circuit-to-channel mapping before installing the

SiteSage Monitor components, and fill out all or portions of the Worksheets in advance. In

some cases this may have been be done by Powerhouse Dynamics or a SiteSage Authorized

Channel Partner. It is also best practice to put the supplied labels on the sensors, identifying

what channel they have been attached to, as well as on the wires near the channel

connectors on SiteSage ePods and xPods. This will make it much easier if there is ever a

need to change connections or replace a component.

the wire is held firmly. The white wire needs to be attached to the Neutral Bar. Find an empty

screw, loosen it, slide the white wire underneath, and tighten the screw.

NOTE: In many locations, the Electrical Code does not allow doubling up on a breaker or the

Neutral Bar.

Dealing with 480-Volt Power

The SiteSage Energy Monitor runs off 120-Volt power. If the electric panel in which you are

installing SiteSage has 480-Volt power, you need a small transformer (available from an

Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner), which converts 277V to 120V.

The transformer is mounted outside the circuit

panel. Use a knockout hole or drill a hole in the

panel to bring the 4 wires into the Panel. Attach

the (orange) wire labelled 120V to the black wire

of the ePod Power cable, and use a wire nut to

cover and tighten the connection.

Insert the wire labelled 277V (yellow and orange)

into a selected breaker.

Finally, attach the two yellow wires labelled Common and the white wire of SiteSage power

cable to the Neutral Bar.

3.2.3 Sensor (CT) Installation

Unpack and unwind all of the sensor wires.

Installing Sensors on the Mains

If the electrical service is single phase, you will be

installing 2 sensors on the Mains; if it is 3-Phase, use 3

sensors.

If you are able to use the 150-Amp sensors, open the first

of the twin spring-loaded sensors by firmly pressing the

lever on the side, and place the open jaws around the

insulated area of one of the incoming power lines, above

where it connects to the panel. NOTE: In the case of 3-

Phase power, best practice is to install all sensors facing

the same direction. Most of the CTs have arrows; the

150-Amp sensors, however, do not. In this case, the label plays the role of an arrow, and

should face away from the breaker panel. Thus, for example, if the 150A CTs are installed on

breakers coming into the panel from above, as in the example to the left, the label should be

visible at the top. If the sensors are attached to the left of the panel, the labels should be on

the right; if installed to the right of the panel, they should be to the right.

WARNING – even with the main breaker “off” these lines will still have power to them and

electrocution could result from touching the electrified areas. Make sure to avoid the

mounting screws as shown on the picture below.

Once the jaws are around the power wire, simply let go of

the lever and the sensor “ring” will close around the wire.

It’s normal for the sensor to slide down the wire and rest

close to the mounting screws.

Repeat this step for installing the second 150-Amp sensor

around the second incoming power line. For 3-Phase

power, take the individual 150-Amp CT and attach it to the

3rd incoming power line, as shown above.

It is best to connect these sensors to the SiteSage ePod now (as

described below), but you can wait until you have installed all of the

branch circuits as long as you have set up a way to identify which

circuit is connected to which Channel. It is best to use the supplied

labels. Place the one showing the Channel it is attached to on the

sensor itself, and the one showing the 2 Channel pairs on the wire

near the double Channels.

If you need the larger CTs, they attach a bit differently. There are

large screws you can easily remove by hand; pull the CT apart, place

around the circuit or on the bus-bar, and then close and reattach the

screws. The illustration to the right shows the installation on a bus

bar. These CTs have arrows.

NOTE: You can monitor more than one set of Mains on a single panel, or Mains coming out of a

distribution panel going to multiple panels. You can obtain additional CTs of any supported size

to accommodate additional Mains. To ensure that these CTs face the right direction in the case

of 3-Phase power, connect the provided Black Wire to the terminal of the CT marked S1

terminal. Connect the White Wire to the S2 terminal. With these CTs, the side marked P1

should face the breaker panel.

Installing Branch Circuit Sensors

With the main breaker still “off”, start installing the smaller sensors on each of the branch

circuits to be monitored. Please pay close attention to when to use a 50-Amp or 20-Amp

sensor, as described below. Start with the 12 circuits that will be attached to the SiteSage ePod.

When you have attached the sensors to the circuits and associated Channels, you can begin

installing the sensors that will be attached to the xPod(s).

For 3-Phase panels, install these sensors with the arrows facing the breakers. For simplicity,

for sensors installed on the left side of a panel, the closing clasp should be on top. For sensors

installed on the right hand side of a panel, the closing clasp should be in back.

120V Circuits

Many of the circuit breakers in the panel will be single pole 120-Volt breakers – or 277-Volt

breakers in the case of 480-Volt panels. Use one 20A sensor for each of these.

208V/480v circuits

Generally, use 50A sensors on double pole 208V or 480V breakers – but make sure to use the

same size for both poles.

On the Worksheet, please enter both circuit (breaker) numbers for a 208 or 480-Volt circuit, on

sequential rows.

For 3-Phase circuits, use 3 sensors (or 6 if you need to put sensors on 2 wires for each phase);

you can use 20A, 50A or 150A on each pole, depending upon the size of the breaker. You must

use the same size CT on each pole.

To install these sensors:

1. Open the sensor, squeezing the top (round part) and bottom of the sensor together to

relieve pressure on the latch, and then use your fingernail to disengage the latch. Do

not use a screwdriver or try to pry the latch open, since that could break the latch. Once

the pressure is relieved on the sensor it should be easy to open.

2. Place the open clamp around the insulated wire coming into the circuit breaker.

3. Close the sensor by pressing on the locking tab; you should hear a distinctive click; this

will confirm that the sensor is properly closed.

Try to orient the sensors so that their cables are out of the way as much as possible, and so that

the sensor wires are pointing to the sides of the panel.

The sensors may need to be staggered – alternating one closer to the breaker and one farther

away – in order to fit neatly in the breaker panel. This will often be the case when installing

sensors in narrow breaker panels.

Fill out the Channel Setup Worksheet as you install each sensor.

Double pole circuit (208V, 480V)

• Use two 50-Amp sensors

Single pole circuit (120V, 277V)

• Use one 20-Amp sensor

3.2.4 Optional PV Solar/Wind Turbine (or Other Generating Device) Monitoring

If the associated Software License includes renewables monitoring, SiteSage can also be used to

measure the power produced from an electricity-generating unit, such as a solar PV system or a

wind turbine. Any type of power generation brought into the electrical panel can be

monitored. (For non-renewable energy sources, such as a back-up generator, you do not need

to purchase the renewables license).

These power-generating units are generally installed on double

or triple breakers.

3.2.5 Installing a SiteSage Monitor in a Sub-Panel

If you are installing SiteSage Units at a Main Panel and one or

more sub-panels, the installation process is identical for each,

except that sub-panels will have no power inputs from the

electrical grid, but only from a Main Panel.

There is no need to attach sensors to the feed from the Main

Panel to a sub-panel if the Main Panel is being monitored. If

sub-panels are being monitored, do not put sensors on the Main

Panel circuits that feed the sub-panels. This would result in

double counting.

If you are not separately monitoring a sub-panel, then it does make sense to monitor the

circuits on the Main Panel feeding the sub-panel (see Figure to right), with 2 sensors.

NOTE: The best practice to follow to avoid later configuration problems is to install

sensors in an ordered and sequential manner. For example, with downward facing Mains,

attach the left most wire to Channel 0, the middle wire to Channel 1, and the right hand

wire to Channel 2. Then, for the most common panel type, start working your way down

the left breaker column, attaching breaker 1 to Channel 3, breaker 3 to Channel 4, breaker

5 to channel 5, etc. (skipping any breakers not being monitored). When you are finished

with the left column continue with the top of the right column (which generally starts with

breaker 2), and work your way down.

3.2.6 Connecting the Sensors to the ePod

As each set of 2 linked sensors (or single

150A or larger sensor) is installed, connect

the pair to the appropriately numbered

Channel port on the SiteSage ePod. The

sensor wire plug will lock in to a double

Channel port that is marked as a pair of

Channels. Check that the Channel port

connections match what is written on the

Channel Setup Worksheet. You can only

install the sensors such that the one with a

green label goes into an odd (left) numbered

Channel and the one with the red label (red for right) goes into an even (right) Channel in a pair.

(Again, the left and right Channel designations have nothing to do with the left and right

columns in the electric panel). A sensor wire plug is shown above. It is best practice to add a

label to each sensor wire that corresponds to the numbered Channel port on the SiteSage ePod

and xPods. This way if there is a need to replace a component, it is easy to figure out where the

sensors should plug in.

3.2.7 Connecting the Sensors to an xPod

Before connecting any Sensors to an xPod, make sure

the xPod switch is set correctly. The switch is needed to

be able to distinguish between xPods when there is

more than one. xPods should arrive with the switch set

to the A position. That is the correct position for the

first xPod you install. (There are no xPods required for a

SiteSage M-15). If a second xPod is installed, set the

switch to the B position; the third should be set to C.

Do not use the same switch position for multiple xPods.

The process for connecting the sensors to the Channels on the xPod is identical to the process

for connecting to the SiteSage ePod.

3.2.8 Connecting an xPod to the ePod and Mounting Them

The xPod has a cable coming out of one side. Connect the cable of the first xPod you install,

with the switch set to A, directly to the ePod. If you are installing 2 or more xPods, daisy-chain

them together, using the same cable.

Once you have connected all of the sensors, you can either leave the ePod and any xPods un-

tethered, or mount them inside the panel. You can use the tie wires provided and tie the Pods

to fixed spots in the panel, or use Velcro and attach to an inside surface of the panel.

Before mounting the ePod, connect the other end of the Power Cable to it, as shown below.

Make sure that the cable is tightly connected at both ends.

IMPORTANT: There is a serial number on the bottom of the SiteSage ePod. You should have

recorded this number on the Setup Worksheet, and it is needed to register and configure the

unit, so please make sure it has been recorded before you mount the ePod and close the panel.

3.2.9 Organizing the Sensor Wires

After all the sensors are installed at the

breakers and the wires are connected to the

Energy Monitor ePod and xPods, the set of

loose wires (up to 45) may look messy.

Organize the loose sensor wires on the left

and right side of the inside of the breaker

panel, using six or eight of the included wire

ties to prevent movement and allow the

cover to be affixed.

Power Cable attached to ePod

xPod attached to ePod

When you are finished, carefully cut the excess part of the wire ties with a wire cutter or strong

scissors.

You can now close the circuit panel and turn the Main power back on.

3.3 Installation of Other Sensors

The installation of other sensors is addressed in the Appendices of this Installation Guide.

4. Installing SiteSage Smart Thermostats

SiteSage currently supports two different smart thermostats, using 2 different communications

protocols: Z-Wave® and Wi-Fi®. These thermostats ship with installation instructions. In this

Section we cover the process of connecting the most commonly installed thermostat, which

uses Z-Wave; connecting the Wi-Fi thermostat is covered in Appendix B.

Getting a Z-Wave Thermostat on the local Z-Wave Network

Once the installer has finished installing a Z-Wave thermostat it can be turned on to control the

HVAC system locally. It is now ready to be connected to the Z-Wave network in order to have it

integrated with SiteSage. Please do not try to establish the temperature settings on the

thermostat itself; doing it through SiteSage is significantly simpler – and the SiteSage

temperature settings will override any settings established on the thermostat. (All mechanical

settings should be set on the thermostat).

STEP 1: get the SiteSage Gateway into “inclusion” mode:

a. Reset the Gateway. It will go through its normal reset cycle; the LINK and DATA lights will

flash 5 times (green if Wi-Fi, red if Ethernet) and then turn solid for 3 seconds. If there is a

Z-Wave radio, after 2 seconds these lights will blink orange very rapidly for 4 seconds. If

you hit Reset again while the lights are blinking orange, the Gateway will go through

another reset cycle, but this time the rapid blinking will be green. This indicates that the

Gateway has been placed into Inclusion mode for 3 minutes to enable you to enroll the

smart thermostats. The lights will continue to flash green throughout the inclusion period.

b. Alternatively, if SiteSage has already been registered at this location, you can accomplish

the same thing by going to https://sitesage.net, clicking on Settings/Smart Controls, and

pressing Add Z-Wave Control near the top of the page. Wait until the LINK and DATA lights

flash green which will indicate that the Gateway is in inclusion mode.

c. You can also put the Gateway into inclusion mode via the

embedded web server Z-Wave tab. (Press Configure,

then 4Add). If the Gateway is not yet on-line, open a

browser and enter http://169.254.1.1. (If you have a Wi-

Fi Gateway it creates an ad hoc Wi-Fi network; if you

have an Ethernet Gateway you can connect directly to

the network port on your computer). If your Gateway is

on-line, you can find the current IP address by going to sitesage.net/connect and entering

the middle 4 digits of the Gateway serial number.

STEP 2: enroll (or “include”) the thermostat in the Z-Wave network:

a. Press the MENU button on the smart thermostat

b. Press the NEXT button to advance to the Z-Wave menu

c. Press SELECT

d. Press YES to enroll in the network

STEP 3: verify that the thermostat has been enrolled in the network:

a. Press MENU on the main thermostat screen

b. Press the NEXT Button to advance to the About screen and press the Select Button

c. Press the NEXT Button to advance through the menu options to Node ID

• If the number listed there is anything other than “00”, the thermostat has been

successfully enrolled

• If the number listed there is “00”, the thermostat has NOT been successfully enrolled. In

this case, repeat Step 2 and verify again.

e. Press the DONE button twice when finished to go back to the Home screen

The thermostat needs to be in communications range with the Gateway in order to be included

in the network. If enrollment has failed, try moving the Gateway closer to the thermostat.

Once the thermostat has been enrolled you can move it back. After they are enrolled, the

thermostats can talk to each other, so as long as one of them is in range of the Gateway (and

the thermostats are in range of each other) they can reach the Gateway. Make sure to enroll

the thermostat closest to the Gateway first. If you are unable to include that thermostat, you

may need a Z-Wave range extender/repeater. This is a simple device that plugs into an outlet;

please consult with an Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner about getting a repeater. Locate it

between the Gateway and the closest thermostat. You will need to put the Gateway back into

Include range to include this device. In this case, just press the button on the range extender,

and a light will flash to show that the unit has been included. In some cases you may need to

install an additional Gateway to connect with a thermostat beyond the Z-Wave range extender

range.

Once a thermostat has been paired with a Gateway (or, more precisely, the snap-in Z-Wave

radio module), it will stay paired. If there is a need to change out the Gateway’s Z-Wave radio

module, you will first need to EXCLUDE the thermostat from the network. This is a similar

procedure to the one for Inclusion. (Note that you can use any Gateway to exclude a

thermostat; it does not need to be the one you included it with. Further, if you need to change

out a Gateway only but can use the same radio, there is no need for this process).

a. First you need to put the SiteSage Gateway into Exclusion mode. The easiest way to do

this is by going to the Facility View on the SiteSage Portal and then going to Settings/Smart

Controls and pressing Remove Z-Wave Control. Wait until the LINK and DATA lights flash

red to indicate Exclusion mode; the Gateway will stay in Exclusion mode for 3 minutes. You

can also do this in the embedded web server – pressing the Remove button on the

Thermostat tab.

b. If you do not have access to a computer, you can use the Reset function on the Gateway.

For this you need to put the Gateway back into Inclusion mode, exactly as outlined above.

When the DATA and LINK lights are blinking green rapidly for 4 seconds, press Reset again

(this will be 3 third time hitting Reset in this process). This time when the Gateway comes

out of the Reset process the lights will blink Red rapidly, indicating that the Gateway is in

Exclusion mode. It will stay in Exclusion mode for 3 minutes.

c. Next Exclude the thermostat from the network. Go to the thermostat menu as you did

before, and press NEXT to get to the Z-Wave menu, but this time you want to EXCLUDE the

thermostat. Once that is done you can include the thermostat with a new Gateway.

5. Registering and Configuring SiteSage

The next step in the process is Registration and Configuration, which is performed online. This

can be completed by the installer or by someone else, and is also described in the SiteSage User

Manual. Please note that until Registration and Configuration is complete, no data will be

stored and the SiteSage Portal cannot be accessed.

To begin the Registration and Configuration process, go to: http://Sitesage.net/setup

For the purpose of this manual, we are going

to assume a Commercial customer, since

most 3-phase electrical systems are in

commercial facilities. The process is very

similar for Residential customers, although

the pages are slightly different. If you are a

Residential customer and have trouble

following the instructions here, please check

out the SiteSage for Homes User Manual OR

the SiteSage for Homes Installation Guide at

http://docs.sitesage.net.

If this is the first SiteSage installation for this account, click Register, under Commercial. If

SiteSage is registered in at least one location and you are adding a system at another location,

user name and password already established for

the account. If you are adding SiteSage

components to a location that already has

SiteSage installed and registered, there is no

need to go to Setup. Just log in to the SiteSage

Portal; the new components will be found and

you will be directed to a Wizard for

configuration.

Account and Location Registration

The process begins with setting up the Account.

Step 1: Account and Contact Information

Enter basic information about the company as well as your contact information. (All fields are

required). If this is an existing account registering SiteSage at a new location, the account

information will already be filled out.

As part of setting up the Account, you

can also setup an organizational

structure here; for example if the

company is organized into regions

and sub-regions (using whatever

terminology the company uses for

these groupings). You can also group

locations on a non-geographic basis; for example, if you have multiple brands or very different

operating hours. Then, as you set up a new location, you can allocate the location to these

groupings. If you do not want to set the structure up now, this can also be done later in the

Enterprise View of the SiteSage Portal.

Step 2: Location-Related Information

The first part of this step involves provisioning the Gateways installed at the location, and

confirming the software license.

Enter the number of Gateways that you will be provisioning at this location. Then, enter the

middle 6 (you can skip leading

0’s) and last 4 digits of the

Serial # for each Gateway. You

can find these numbers on a

label on the Gateways. (Once

you enter the Serial #, the

Gateway’s IP address will be

returned; you can use this to

return to the Embedded Web

Server used for network

configuration if necessary).

Finally, enter the 25 digit

License Key provided by the

Authorized SiteSage Channel

Partner. The License Key

identifies what services have

been licensed, including whether this is a Residential or Commercial customer, the maximum

number of circuits to be monitored and controlled, and whether this location will be monitoring

renewable generation sources or gas or water. If you have not been provided a License Key,

please contact the Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner. You will not be able to register

SiteSage without a valid License Key.

NOTE: If you see a “Not Valid” notice after you press Continue, it means you have entered a

non-valid Device ID. Please re-check the numbers you entered and try again. In the unlikely

event the number is still not valid, and you’re sure you have entered it correctly, please contact

Powerhouse Dynamics or the Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner.

Once you have entered the License Key, click Continue and you will be taken to a page that

confirms the services that have been licensed. If this is not consistent with your expectations,

double check the number you entered and, if it is correct but does not show what you

expected, please contact your Authorized

SiteSage Channel Partner.

Press Continue and you will be asked fill out

some information about the facility in which

SiteSage is being installed. This includes

providing a name that can be used to refer to the

location (e.g. Center St. Store). Enter the address

(if it is the same as the corporate address you

can copy that over), as well as some information

about the function and size of the building, which

is helpful for analysis purposes. Please also enter

the hours of operation of the location for each

day. (If you created an organizational structure,

you will be asked to which grouping(s) this

facility belongs).

Step 3: Utility Rates

Next, confirm the electric utility company for the facility. SiteSage has a database that identifies

the utility based on zip code, but some zip codes are served by more than one utility, so you

may need to choose one from the list. If SiteSage cannot locate your utility, use the state list to

select it.

A Note on Utility Rates: The SiteSage database reports average commercial rates for each

utility. This works extremely well in getting a sense of the costs of different pieces of

equipment in the facility. However, the cost estimates generated by SiteSage do not reflect

actual utility rate calculations, which can be complex for some commercial facilities. In

addition, SiteSage’s measuring period will not be the same as the billing period reflected on

utility bills, so trying to compare them is not recommended.

The SiteSage database also maintains average

commercial rates for every utility. You can

accept that rate or, if you feel it does not

accurately reflect the charges at this facility

either calculate it from a recent bill or enter a

rate directly.

There is also a section where you can enter a

Demand Rate. Demand Rates, which are

based on the peak energy usage during a

month, are very common for commercial

utility customers.

SiteSage can help better manage Demand

Rates, so please make sure to enter the

requested information if this facility is on a

Demand Rate. Also, indicate if you know

whether this location is assessed a Power Factor penalty charge for low Power Factor.

At this point you are given the option to finish the registration session or continue with system

configuration. If you end the session now, you will be able to come back and complete

configuration at a later point.

Step 4: Energy Monitor Channel Configuration

SiteSage needs to be configured so that the system knows what is being monitored on each

SiteSage Energy Monitor Channel. This is a critical step in ensuring that SiteSage delivers true

value. Enter information from the

completed Channel Setup

Worksheet(s), described earlier.

To start this process, you will see

a list of SiteSage Energy Monitors

that the Gateways have

identified. To make sure that only

panels expected are being monitored, please enter the missing 6 digits of the SiteSage Monitor

serial numbers. This number appears on the back of the SiteSage Energy Monitor ePod, and

should have been entered onto the Channel Setup Worksheet. Enter a descriptive name for the

electric panel, such as Main Panel, Kitchen Panel, etc. (This should also appear on the Setup

Worksheet, and you can change it at any time).

If a SiteSage Energy Monitor you expected to see has not been listed, it is possible that the

Gateway has been located too far from that unit. Try moving the Gateway and see if that helps.

If you have multiple SiteSage Monitor units located far apart (say on different floors), you might

need to add another Gateway. You can complete Configuration for any Site Sage Energy

Monitors that have been found now. (If you add a Gateway later you do not need to come back

to Registration. You will then be able to go to the Channels Configuration tab in Settings on the

SiteSage Portal and click on Gateway Assignment, and then Add a Gateway. You can then enter

the Gateway serial number, much as you did earlier. If it finds a new SiteSage Monitor you will

then be able to configure it).

If the Computed Mains box has been checked on one of the Worksheets because the installer

was unable to install sensors on the Mains, please check the box on this page. This will tell

SiteSage to sum the branch circuits to estimate the facility totals.

When you hit Continue you will be taken to a page where you can capture the information

from the Channel Setup Worksheet the installer filled out. Make sure you enter the number of

the Breaker that is powering the SiteSage ePod, since that will be needed if there is ever a need

to power cycle the unit.

The electric service will default to 3-Phase 208V, since that is the most common configuration

in small commercial facilities. If that is not what you have, you can re-set to either3-Phase Wye

480V, 3-Phase Delta 240V or 480V, or Single

Phase 120V. The page will change slightly if you

switch to Single Phase. (NOTE: This is a critically

important setting for the purpose of

calculations, so please make sure to select the

correct electricity service before continuing).

For a 3-Phase Main panel, the Mains should have been connected to Channels 0-2. Make sure

that the correct CT size has been selected. (You can connect Mains to other channels as well).

Then, click on the row for Channel 3 and it

will bring up a data entry form where you can

quickly enter the necessary information for

that Channel. Set the Channel to In Use to

begin to enter data on the form.

For other than Mains, please enter the

Breaker Number, which will appear on the

Worksheet, and select the Breaker Size in

amps, from a pull down list. Next indicate

the Breaker Configuration: e.g. whether it is

a single, double or triple pole breaker.5 Enter

the Circuit Label that appears on the

Worksheet, or feel free to modify it.

You need to enter some additional

information that is not on the Worksheet

about equipment on each circuit. Most

importantly, you will be asked to enter the

major Equipment Type on each circuit. In

many cases the equipment type is obvious

from the circuit label. In other cases, for

example, if the label says “Kitchen

Appliances”, you might need to make a

judgement call about the primary equipment. (You can type in the Equipment Type box, but it

will only recognize items included in the pull down list. The same is true for other fields). This

field is extremely important to complete accurately, since most analyses are driven by

Equipment Type.

You can enter some optional Details about a piece of equipment, which may include make,

model, and year installed, or just text. This information will appear on the Circuits page view,

and may help SiteSage analyze equipment usage.

5 The system will default to assume that you have connected 3 CTs to a triple pole breaker (and 2 to a double pole

breaker), and that the channels you used are sequential. If 6 CTs were used because of wire size, select Double

Wire. If you needed to install on channels that were not sequential, please select Non Sequential Channels and

identify the 2 (or 5) additional channels you used. Once you move to the next channel, the form will re-order the

rows (keeping the channel numbers the same) so that the 3 channels for a single triple pole circuit are on

successive rows.

Based on Breaker Size and Equipment

Type, the system will automatically

make an assumption about the

CT/Sensor configuration. Change this if

it does not match the Worksheet.

You can find a description of each field

by holding your mouse over the heading

on any column on the page.

Once you have entered all of the

information about a Channel, press

Next Channel to go to the next one, and so on until you have entered all of the information on

the Worksheet. (If you hit Save, the data will be saved and the data entry box will close; you

will need to click on another row to begin entering data again). Note that you can edit any

Channel data already entered by clicking on the associated row.

NOTE: If there were empty circuit breakers slots in the circuit panel and a Channel was skipped

during the installation, please make sure you do not enter any information for the skipped

Channel, and make sure the In Use box is not checked.

If you are configuring Channels for more than one SiteSage Energy Monitor, when you

complete this page for the first unit and hit Continue you will get a new empty form to

complete for the next unit. If for some reason you cannot finish channel configuration in one

session, you will be able to complete registration as soon as you have configured one SiteSage

Monitor, and then later log onto SiteSage Portal (Settings/Channels) to configure additional

SiteSage Energy Monitor units.

Once you have filled out the configuration for each unit that has been installed,

click Finish, and you’re ready to use the Energy Monitor! Unless.....

If the Software License provides support for renewable energy and have configured a power

source, such as PV or Wind, you will be prompted to do one last step, which involves verifying

the direction of all power inputs, including the Mains. (If your production is greater than your

usage, you can actually be shipping power back into the utility grid - or net metering).

There is a 2-step process to Power Direction Calibration. First, turn off the breaker the Power

Inputs are coming into (typically one or more inverters). In that way, SiteSage can be confident

that Main power is incoming.

Once the system verifies the direction of the Mains you will be prompted to turn the Power

Input breakers back on so that their direction can be calibrated.

The system will then confirm when calibration has been completed. If for any reason the

system has not determined the correct power direction – for example if you are calibrating PV

at night when it is not generating any power, press the “Flip” button and it will adjust.

And, now you have fully completed configuration of the Energy Monitor and can move on to

other components like thermostats.

Step 5: Configuring a Smart Thermostat

Please note that the configuration process is the same for both Z-Wave and Wi-Fi thermostats.

Once you have gotten one or more Smart Thermostat connected, log into SiteSage Portal, you

should see a pop-up indicating new Smart Thermostats have been found; if not go to

Settings/Smart Controls and click Add Z-Wave Control (Find New Controls for Wi-Fi). A dialog

will pop-up telling you the system is scanning for smart controls. If it finds a Smart Thermostat

it will identify it. You can then hit Configure Controls, which

will pop-up a page like the one below, which is the start of a

Wizard that will let you quickly configure the Thermostat.

(SiteSage will keep scanning for thermostats even if you

close the dialog and go to another page. If it finds one, the

Wizard will pop-up as soon as you go to the Home page).

NOTE: if Enterprise level controls

have been set up for this account

you will be able to pull down pre-

established settings, or Templates

(including possibly a Default

Template specifically set for this

facility) and not need to go through

the Wizard. In addition, there is a

generic default template that can be

applied at this point as well; it is

always possible to come back and update thermostat settings at a later point.

Select the thermostat(s) you want to configure, give them a name (e.g. Kitchen), indicate

whether they are used for Heating, Cooling, or Both, select the number of time periods that you

want to be able to program (4, 6, or 8) and press Continue. If you have selected more than one

thermostat, the Wizard will take you through each one sequentially.

You will first establish the daily temperature settings for each Smart Thermostat.

• The SiteSage Smart Thermostat lets you create different settings for different days of

the week and also create a setting for days you are closed.

• SiteSage uses a unique, graphical interface to make it simple to adjust temperature

settings. Just grab the edge of a colored bar by clicking on it and drag it horizontally to

change the Time Period - or vertically to change the temperature. It’s that simple!

• To name the periods, place the mouse over the name on the right hand side of the page;

this creates a box you can use to edit the text. Whatever you select will be used from

now on.

• The Wizard will walk you through each day. You can copy the settings from any

previous day.

• The Wizard addresses both Heating and Cooling Settings, if you have both, which work

exactly the same way, EXCEPT that the default settings are vastly different.

If you have more than 1 thermostat and want them set exactly the same, SiteSage will let you

“clone” the previous settings so that you do not have to enter them again.

Once you have created the Heating and Cooling

settings for Work Days, you are next asked to

establish settings for days the facility is closed, which

would include holidays. For these days, a single

temperature setting for Heat and one for Cool is all

you need.

Finally, you can either tell SiteSage that you want to

manually change from Heating to Cooling Season, or

schedule it to happen on specific date or

automatically switch.

You can copy the settings

from one day to another &

not have to re-enter them

Click on any of the period

names and you will see a

field where you can enter

your own names

Setting up Additional Thermostats

Once you have already set up a Thermostat, if you install another one at a later time, please go

to the Settings/Smart Control tab and click (Find Z-Wave (or New) Controls in the top right

hand corner to find the new Thermostat.

Enterprise Level Controls

Control Templates can be created in the Enterprise View to be pulled down to when a

thermostat is added (or pushed down at other times). This is described in the SiteSage User

Manual which can be found at http://docs.sitesage.net or via the Support link on the SiteSage

Portal.

Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions

What if there are not enough sensors to monitor all circuits in a panel?

Unless you want to upgrade the SiteSage Monitor to a larger configuration with more sensors

or add another SiteSage monitoring unit in another electric panel, your best choice is to select

the circuits to monitor, based on what you expect to be the major power users, or circuits with

the most important equipment. You can upgrade or add additional units at any time.

Does it matter which way I orient the CT sensors?

For single phase power it does not, but for 3-phase it is best practice to orient them the same.

In that case, all of the sensors should be installed with the arrows pointing towards the

breakers. (In the case of 150-amp CTS, there is no arrow, but there is a label; assume the arrow

faces left to right on the label). This is actually fairly straightforward, since it implies that all of

the sensors on 1 side of the panel should line up the same way. In the case of 20 and 50-A CTs,

this would mean the clasp should be on top and showing on the left side of the panel, and

underneath and not showing on the right side.

What if I cannot fit all the sensor wires in a circuit panel?

If most of the wires fit, we suggest you prioritize circuits and only monitor the number of

circuits that fit. (You may decide you need a SiteSage monitoring unit that supports fewer

circuits).

What if the Main wires are too big for, have much higher amperage, or cannot accommodate

the 150A sensors? Check with your Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner about getting 300A,

600A or 1,000A sensors. (NOTE: the 300A and 600A sensors are the same size; the 1,000A

sensors are slightly larger). If there is no way to monitor the Mains but you can monitor all

branch circuits, selecting the Computed Main option during registration will tell the system to

add up all branch circuits to compute total power.

What if there are too many 50-Amp sensors and not enough 20-Amp sensors?

You may use the 50-Amp sensors on circuits with smaller amp ratings – and vice versa – as long

as you indicate the actual sensor size used on the circuit. There will be some loss of accuracy,

but generally 20A CTs will work fine on breakers up to 30A, and 50A sensors will work well on

breakers from 30A-90A. Speak to your Authorized SiteSage Channel Partner about getting

additional sensors of the size you are missing.

Does SiteSage support 1,000-Amp electrical service?

Yes. SiteSage can support 1,000-amp, as well as larger, electrical services.

Appendix B: Provisioning a Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat

Getting a Wi-Fi Thermostat on the Network

Once the installer has finished installing a Wi-Fi thermostat it will turn on and control the HVAC system

locally. It is now ready to be connected it to the Wi-Fi network. The Yellow LED will be blinking

indicating that the thermostat is ready to be configured. Please do not try to establish settings the

thermostat itself; doing it through SiteSage is significantly simpler – and SiteSage settings will override

any settings done on the thermostat.

STEP 1

On a PC, Mac, smart phone, or other device6 find the

list of available networks. When the thermostat first

turns on it will temporarily create its own network. Its

network name will start with the word thermostat,

followed by six letters or numbers. Find the

Thermostat’s Wi-Fi network and connect to it. (If you

do not see the network information, hit Menu on the

thermostat itself, then Network Select and then Mate.

You will see a solid yellow light to the left of the display

when the network is broadcasting).

If your computer displays an unsecured network

message, click “Connect Anyway” and continue

connecting to the thermostat. If the connection was

successful, Successfully connected to thermostat xx-yy-zz will be displayed.

If you are unable to connect to the thermostat, try clicking

on “Connect To” again.

STEP 2

Open a web browser and enter the address

http://192.168.10.1. The page to the right will load. For

the most common setups (particularly those with dynamic

IP addresses) click “Scan Wireless Networks”. This will tell

the thermostat to look for your wireless network.

6 As noted earlier in the document Android and Windows 8.1 do not directly support ad hoc networks and you will

need to find a utility that allows you to use these operating systems for this purpose.

After a few moments you will see a list of available wireless networks displayed in the window. Click on

the intended network to join.

STEP 3

If the wireless network is password protected, use this screen to

enter the Password and press Next.

For security purposes all data transmitted over Wi-Fi is encrypted

with industry proven security methods. This ensures that nobody

else can gain access to the thermostat during this configuration

process.

Next, find the thermostat’s PIN at the top left hand corner of the

thermostat. Enter this PIN into the Pin: text box. [In this example the PIN is

44911). Then, click Set Network to proceed.

STEP 4

The Wi-Fi thermostat will now attempt to join the network. If this is

successful, the green light on the thermostat will start to blink, and

the word “link” will appear on the thermostat screen. In addition, the

last three digits of the thermostat’s IP address will be displayed in the

top left hand corner of the screen. In this case the IP address of the

thermostat is 192.168.1.14. You can see the “14” on the screen.

The PROVISIONING DONE screen will display in the browser.

It also shows details about the configuration of the Wi-Fi

module; something like:

SSID: Wednesday’s

BSSID: 00-18-01-F7-03-82

Security: wpa2

IP: Dynamic

If there is an error in the setup process the red light will flash. This many happen because you did not

enter the security password correctly, or the connection was momentarily lost. After a few minutes the

thermostat will return to its Ready to Connect state with the yellow light showing solid. Please try again

and repeat from STEP 1.

STEP 5

When the Provisioning

process is completed

successfully, connect your

computer back to the

network so you can proceed

with the Thermostat

configuration process.

Using the Advanced tab

If you want to set the

parameters of your network manually – for example to set a static

IP address - use the Wi-Fi setup ADVANCED tab. To use this tab,

click it and input the parameters. Click Submit to return to the previous page.

Appendix C: SiteSage Networking Requirements

SiteSage Energy Monitor units that are installed inside electrical panels in a facility

communicate via a wireless radio to the SiteSage Gateway. The radios have a range of at least

30 feet and do not require line of sight. The Gateway needs to be connected to a facility

network in order to access the Internet to upload data to the SiteSage cloud-based servers.

Depending upon the location of the electrical panels, it is conceivable that there will need to be

more than one Gateway installed.

The SiteSage Gateway is a “headless” device which can be connected through hardwired

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.

Ethernet Connection (the clear preference is to use Ethernet wherever possible in order to

maximize reliability).

Normally, the SiteSage Gateway requires DHCP in order to connect to the network. If DHCP is

not used in the facility, a static IP address can be provisioned, but the Gateway must first be

attached to the network using DHCP. If a DHCP server is not available in the facility, it is

possible to provision the system on another network that has DHCP and then move it to the

destination network. The system can connect to an HTTP proxy server; to configure for a proxy

server we will need to know the IP address or URL and port number.

If a static IP address is required, we will need to know, in advance, the following information:

• IP Address

• Network Mask

• Gateway IP Address

• DNS Server IP Address

• DNS Server2 IP Address (Optional)

If MAC level filtering is enabled on the network we can provide the Ethernet MAC address in

advance, if required. If there is a restriction to a specific port, we will need to know which port

on the switch to attach to. (In the event that the Gateway is not connecting directly to the

switch, we will need to coordinate on the installation).

Wi-Fi Connection

If Wi-Fi is required, the preference is a secured connection. The Gateway needs to be

connected to a network that is up 24 X 7 and does not limit users’ connection time. Because

the system is headless, there is no way to accept terms or respond to a prompt. If the standard

public network in the facility has any such restrictions that can be overridden, the Wi-Fi MAC

address can be provided in advance to allow the system to be pre-provisioned.

The system supports both WEP and WPA security. In a Wi-Fi configuration, the following

information is required:

• SSID (Name and whether or not it is broadcast)

• Encryption Type (WEP/WPA/WPA2/etc.)

• Encryption Key/Pass Phrase (NOTE: if these are regularly changed, please provide

notification in advance of the new key, along with the planned date and time of

change, on an ongoing basis).

The system can also support a static IP address on a Wi-Fi network; in this case the system can

be provisioned locally even where no DHCP server is available. The same information as

requested above for an Ethernet connection is required. If a proxy service is used, the IP

address or URL and port number must be provided.

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. The SiteSage Z-Wave thermostat connects

directly to the Gateway and requires no access to the facility network.

For each facility in which SiteSage will be installed, please answer the questions on the

following page in order to facilitate the network installation process.

Appendix D: Installing Temperature Sensors

SiteSage supports temperature monitoring. It currently utilizes the 1-Wire protocol for bringing

wired sensor data into the system. (Wireless sensors will be supported in a future release).

These sensors can be installed inside refrigeration units, in various parts of an HVAC or Make-

up-Air unit, and at other locations where temperature readings are important, or be used to

monitor air temperature. Each Gateway can support up to 50 sensors.

Specifications

Waterproof

.5 degree resolution

Temperature range: -55 *C ~ +125 *C

No external components: single-bus interface

Labels with sensor IDs provided to simplify provisioning

Output leads: red (PWR), blue (DATA), black (GND)

For non-powered operations with SiteSage, only 2 wires are needed to connect to the

Gateway - combine red (PWR) and black (GND) wires

Installation

The sensors can be installed by

anyone licensed to do low voltage

wiring. Wires from different sensors

can be spliced together, so it is not

necessary to have a full wire run for

each sensor. This sensor does not

require any external power (other

than the Gateway). The wire should

be connected to Port D3 on the

Gateway; the DATA wire goes into

D3+ (on the left) and the combined

PWR/GND goes into D3-.

Connecting wires should be provided by the installer. Use thermostat cable or other 24-gauge

hook up wire (#20-26 AWG). It should be possible to install very thin wire through the gasket of

a refrigerator or freezer to avoid having to drill a hole.

Stringing together Temp Sensors in a 1-Wire Network

Provisioning and Configuration

The temperature sensor comes with a label, a matching label on the bag, and a spare label you

can paste onto the Sensor Installation Worksheet.

As you install the sensors, please fill out the Sensor Installation Worksheet to identify what

sensors you have installed and where you have installed them. Follow the instructions on the

bottom of the Worksheet. NOTE: since SiteSage will be supporting multiple sensor types, there

is a field for Type. At this point only Temperature sensors are being supported. Sensors can be

tied to specific pieces of equipment (circuits) but can also be placed in other locations.

Multiple sensors can be tied to a single circuit, and a single sensor can be tied to multiple

circuits if necessary. (Sensor data will be associated with each associated circuit).

Once a sensor or set of sensors have been attached to the Gateway, the sensors will self-

identify. The next time a user logs into SiteSage, the system will prompt them to complete a

Wizard where the sensors can be configured by entering in the information filled out on the

Worksheet.
