 2.0 Overview
2.1 General Description
Your NEWMAR Site Power Monitor, model SPM-200, web-enables and integrates intelligence to any site’s AC
and DC power system for 24/7 monitoring, alarm condition notification, and data logging of vital electrical
functions. All sensor inputs are programmable, accessible, and managed via the Internet: TCP/IP or SNMP.
View current conditions and log 30 day history of DC and AC power status at remote sites before dispatching
personnel.

The SPM-200 is designed specifically for monitoring power supplies, rectifiers, batteries, converters, inverters,
UPS, power distribution panels, and AC power at communication sites, base stations, outdoor enclosures and
command vehicles via Ethernet or Wireless connection. The unit can be rack, DIN-rail, or wall mounted and is
easily adapted to virtually any make of power system via nine sensor input ports which capture and stream
critical data via the internet for analysis and logging of site history. Web page based programs are easily
user configured for site parameters with up to 50 desired alarm conditions settings and multiple automatic
notification options by e-mail, PDA, and mobile phone via text messaging.

Sites without internet access can use the monitor solely as a data logging instrument that captures and retains
a 30 day history file, ready for download to a spread sheet on a lap top computer during maintenance visits
for recording site history and analysis of component performance and failure conditions.

2.15 Front Panel LED Indicators

Status: Flashes on when polling sensor inputs. Approximated once every 5 seconds.
Power: Illuminates when DC input power is present

2.2 Sensor Inputs

In addition to a built-in temperature sensor, the SPM offers the following 9 sensor ports:

2.2.1 Voltage
DC: 3 Ports:
• 2 each 0 to +40 VDC (Negative Ground), typically +6, +12, +24V systems
• 1 each 30-60 VDC (Positive Ground), typically -48V systems
CAUTION: If you intend to power -48 VDC AND monitor -48 VDC, input power must come from an isolated
DC converter. If you need one, we will provide it free of charge. Contact NEWMAR: 800-854-3906 or E-Mail:
Techservice@newmarpower.com and request model: 48-12-1i Kit

 2.2.3 Ambient Temperature Sensor
This sensor is located on the top right hand side corner of the SPM-200 when vertically mounted and senses
ambient temperature. A protective guard prevents damage to the exposed sensor.

Sensor Range: -20° C to +60° C/-4° F to +140° F

Accuracy: +/- 0.5° C

 3.0 Installation
3.1 Mechanical
There are 3 methods of mounting: Wall, DIN-rail, and Rack. Regardless of method, please observe the
following: free air flow (away from other equipments’ hot air exhaust so that the temperature sensor reads
accurately). Indoor installation only! No exposure to rain, spray, or moisture. Plan your wire routing when
considering location.

Option A: Wall, Panel, or Inside Enclosure Mounting

The SPM can be mounted on any flat secure surface (wall or tray) using screws through the four holes on the
mounting tabs (#8 screws recommended). Orientation should provide access to the front panel terminal block.

Option B: DIN-rail Mounting

The chassis supports DIN mounting via a 35mm rail at least 8 inches long. Installer needs to provide DIN-rail.
Two DIN-rail end clamps, P/N: 701-0040-0 provided.

Option C: Rack Mounting

The unit can be rack mounted with Newmar optional 19” or 23” rack mounting kit, 2 RU (3.5 inches) tall,
model RM-SPM, P/N: 020-5091-0.

3.2 Wiring
Connections for both power and sensor inputs are made to the pluggable terminal block which can be found
in the accessory bag (qty. 2, 10 positions). Each terminal block is color coded and labeled with the terminal
positions, and a matching colored label with terminal positions can be found on the mating connector on the
front panel of the SPM-200 to simplify wiring. The pluggable terminal block will accommodate 14-28 AWG
wire size:

ORANGE: Pos. # 1-10

BLUE: Pos. # 11-20

Make your wire connections to the pluggable terminal block first and then plug it into the mating connector
on the SPM-200 being careful to match the terminal numbers on the terminal block with the mating
connector. A small insulated screw driver has been provided to ease the connection process. Do no over-
tighten screws. Be sure to strip at least 1/4” of the insulation off the wires and fully insert them before
tightening screws. Tinning the wire strands before inserting into the terminal block is recommended for larger
wire.

WARNING: All un-grounded voltage inputs to the SPM must be fused with 1 amp in-line fuses, except for
the A1, A2, and A3 switch inputs (floating contact), and the Is1 and Is2 shunt input (terminals 5 & 6). All
returns and GROUNDS on the SPM are common with the –V DC input terminal.

CAUTION: Do not make connections to the SPM with the power on, or with any live AC or DC sources!

Refer to FIGURE 1 and 2 for details on the following steps. Each terminal block position has a reference number
9 abbreviated ID, and full description (see TABLE 1).

CAUTION: Chassis Ground Stud: Connect to earth ground first! Stud size: #6-32

CAUTION: If you intend to power -48 VDC AND monitor -48 VDC, input power must come from an
isolated DC converter. If you need one, we will provide it free of charge. Contact Newmar: 800-854-3906
or E-mail: techservice@newmarpower.com and request model: 48-12-1i

3.2.1 DC Operating Power Input 9 - 60 VDC

Connect using 14-24 AWG wire. Connect your main DC power source to the –V and +V terminals being
careful to observe proper polarity. A 1 amp fast blow fuse on the +V input is recommended for protection. The
SPM draws approximately 100 mA max.

 3.2.2 DC Voltage Monitor Ports
There are three ports total that monitor DC voltage. Two are rated for 0-40 VDC input, (terminals 15-16 and
17-18) and a third, (terminals 7-8) with inverse ground reference rated for 30-60 VDC input, intended primarily
for neg. 48 volt telecom system use. Note all DC sense voltage ties to the SPM must share a common ground
with the DC power source. CAUTION: If you intend to power -48 VDC AND monitor -48 VDC, input power must
come from an isolated DC converter. If you need one, we will provide it free of charge. Contact Newmar 800-
854-3906 or E-mail: techservice@newmarpower.com and request model: 48-12-1i

3.2.3 DC Current
Terminals 5 & 6 (Is1 and Is2) A 0-100mV DC shunt input and shunt are provided for measuring DC current
(not provided) Shunt can measure load current, rectifier current, battery current (charge and discharge),
depending on where the shunt is installed in the power distribution system. Use twisted pair wires for best
results and steady noise free readings. Install shunt in positive or negative lead. Polarity of the shunt output
can be swapped to achieve desired positive or negative current flow indication.

3.2.4 Dry Contact Switch Sensors

Terminals 9-10, 11-12, 13-14. Connect up to three devices with switched alarm contacts (N/C or N/O) between
A1 and A1 RTN. Assign user-friendly names on Display Tab on monitor that describe the specific functions of
each circuit. Some examples include: Magnetic Door Switch, Rectifier Alarms, Smoke Alarms, Battery Temp
Alarms, loss of voltage, contact relay closure, etc. Multiple switches can be installed in series, or paralleled in
a string to a single input to the SPM.
3.2.5 AC Voltage Monitoring
Two ports are available for monitoring AC voltage sources: One for Utility line power, and a second for an
auxiliary/back up source such as generator or inverter with floating output.

Utility power: Connect AC voltage Line and Neutral to these input terminals 1&2. To measure and log AC
voltages from 90-264 VAC, 47-63Hz. Fuse the Line side (hot) with a 1 amp fast blow fuse (provided). An AC
offset is available on the Utility AC voltage input.

Auxiliary power: Connect to inverter output to measure a secondary AC source of 90-135 VAC, terminals 3 &4.
Fuse the line side (Hot) with a 1 amp fast blow fuse. Note: This input can be used to monitor a second utility or
generator source providing it’s a Line to Neutral source with grounded Neutral which must be connected to
“INV IN (GND)”, Terminal #4

CAUTION: Never connect the line side (Hot) of an AC source to INV IN (GND) or any RTN terminal on the SPM.

3.2.6 Ethernet Connection

Remote monitoring requires Ethernet connection via RJ 45 jack. If using SPM-200 as a data logger only, this is
also where the CSV file is extracted. Plug into the port on left side of unit. The right hand side LED on jack will
illuminate GREEN and then start flashing to indicate good connection and activity. The left hand side LED will
only illuminate (AMBER/YELLOW) to indicate the RJ45 reset button has been held in long enough to cause a
‘reset IP to Factory’ settings. The SPM-200 requires a 100BaseT connection.
