Product Deep-Dive
Sage Live™
Sage Live runs the NFPA 101 monthly and annual self-tests unattended, logs every result, and pushes faults by email in real time. Service goes to the central battery locations, not the whole building.

Guide
How to Design with Sage
Three steps. Tell Sage about the project, review the package Sage produces, submit. Fixture layout, photometric study, and wiring through code compliance, 100% handled by Sage.

Guide
How to Install Sage
Cabinet mount, LCM placement, and the MC daisy-chain, with relays at the identified emergency fixtures. Power up is a walkthrough with the contractor, not a commissioning process.

Comparison
Sage with Generators
Generators back the building. Sage backs egress. On many projects the answer is both, and taking the lighting off the genset often downsizes it enough to pay for Sage.

Comparison
Sage vs Battery Packs
Centralized vs per-fixture. On the 42,000 sq ft reference design, 111 battery pack locations became two central battery cabinets. The comparison covers compliance, service, and cost over the decade.

Comparison
Sage vs Inverters
Two centralized systems, one modern architecture. Sage typically lands 35% to 50% below an inverter system on day-one cost, and runs the decade at 7× lower upkeep.
