SAGE.
The Sage Library

Resources for the people
who use Sage.

The catalog with every product document, then briefs, product deep-dives, guides, and comparisons, written for the audience that actually reads them. Every piece lives on the web and as a PDF, built from the same source so what you read online is what you hand to the AHJ, the architect, or the principal at the next meeting.

Catalog & Documents

Every product. Every document it ships with.

Spec sheets, suggested specifications, dimensional data, installation guides and IES files, listed product by product and linked straight to the file.

Catalog & Documents

The online catalog. Signature series first, then the extended catalog, every product with its image, spec sheet, document set (suggested specification, dimensional data, installation guide) and IES photometry, each one a direct link to read or download.

Specifiers · contractors · distributors

Submittal Builder

Pick the products on the job and Sage assembles the project-branded PDF submittal package from the same spec sheets and document sets the catalog lists.

Engineers · electrical contractors

Wiring Diagrams

The Sage central battery wiring, cabinet to branch circuit to fixture and exit, drawn the way the install guides describe it.

Briefs

One audience. One complete intro.

Each brief is the document we'd hand someone on day one if they were about to spec, sell, or service Sage. Read end-to-end.

Engineer & Distributor Brief

The central battery system, properly specified. Code-anchored design, architecture comparison, project economics, the specifier arsenal, and the basis-of-design language to put Sage on the next spec.

Rep agency principals · confidential

Agency Brief

This is what changes when your agency reps Sage. 100% Overage. Sage Live included. Wall-mount cabinet. The sales angles your reps walk into the design review with, every one earned by a specific Sage design choice, and the spec-locking line for Alyssa's Law states.

Product Deep-Dives

One product line. Everything you can ask about it.

When a specific Sage product carries enough technical and commercial nuance to warrant its own document (the install economics, the variants, the architectural edge, the workflow), it lives here.

Sage Relays

The relay that doesn't add labor, and doesn't need UL 924 / 1008 ALCR hardware. Six variants, RLY-1 through RLY-6, how Sage picks the right one per host fixture, field vs factory install, companion pairings, and the architectural edge on every dimmable emergency fixture.

Sage Central Battery

One system powers an entire building's emergency lighting from wall-mounted cabinets. Open battery system on standard lead-calcium batteries, no proprietary parts, no factory service contracts. Keystone and Mini compared spec by spec. Sage Live™ monitoring, NEC 700.3(F) maintenance handled.

Facility teams · building owners · property managers

Sage Live™

The monitoring platform that ships standard with every Sage central battery system. Monthly and annual NFPA self-tests run unattended and log themselves. Faults email the facility team the moment they raise, naming the circuit, the zone, and the cabinet. The compliance record is there when the AHJ asks for it.

Engineers · electrical contractors · AHJs

Circuit Monitoring, Included

Every Keystone includes a 9-circuit local circuit monitor that satisfies NFPA 7.9.2.3 single-circuit egress failure at the panel. Branch-level utility sensing, transfer to DC emergency within milliseconds, Class 2 wiring from the cabinet. Code conformance at the clause level, not just architecturally.

Guides

Specific workflows. Step by step.

When you know what you're doing and just need the Sage way of doing it.

Specifiers · architects · lighting designers

How to Design with Sage

Three steps. Tell Sage about your project. Sage produces the design package, fixture layout, relay selection, cabinet placement, wiring and code conformance. You review and submit.

Electrical contractors · installers

How to Install Sage

What a Sage install looks like in the field. Cabinet mount, LCM placement, MC daisy-chain, fixture relay swap, commissioning. The contractor walkthrough.

Comparisons

Decision-time framing. Honest comparisons.

Real BOM math. Real code conformance. The case for Sage made against the architectures it actually competes with.

Engineers comparing emergency-power architectures

Sage with Generators

Generators back the building. Sage backs egress. On many projects the answer is both. Take the lighting off the genset and the downsize often pays for Sage.

Engineers comparing emergency-lighting architectures

Sage vs Battery Packs

Centralized vs per-fixture. On the reference design, 111 battery locations become 2 cabinets. Compliance burden, service economics, and the architectural difference that makes Sage the answer on every spec-driven commercial project.

Engineers comparing centralized emergency-power architectures

Sage vs Inverters

Two centralized systems, one modern architecture. Sage typically lands 35% to 50% lower on day one, and the reference design runs the decade at 7× lower upkeep. Inside: the inverter's itemized ledger and the ALCR mechanism.

Knowledge

The deep library. Reference, positioning, territory.

Quick-reference deep dives

Knowledge Base

Eighteen articles covering UL 924, central battery vs unit equipment, what a Sage Relay actually is, NFPA test cycles, and the questions specifiers ask Sage most often.

Positioning context

Why Sage Wins

The case for a credible second central battery brand. The market gap, the architectural moves Sage made differently, the agencies and spec writers who land on Sage and why.

Territory + recruiting

Markets

Where Sage is active today, where agencies are being recruited, and the territorial picture across the United States.
