1.0 INSTALLATION
The Liebert NX™ UPS is designed primarily for telecommunications and data processing applications. Liebert Corporation neither recommends nor knowingly sells this product for use with life support and other designated “critical” devices.
This section describes the NX’s environmental requirements and mechanical considerations that
must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
Because every site is unique, this section presents a guide to general procedures and practices that
should be observed by the installing engineer, rather than step-by-step installation instructions.
WARNING
!
Do not apply electrical power to the UPS equipment before the arrival of the commissioning
engineer.
WARNING
!
The UPS equipment should be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the
information contained in this section.

When connected together, the nominal battery voltage is 288VDC and is potentially lethal.
• Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.
• Remove rings, watches and all metal objects.
• Only use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves.
If a battery leaks electrolyte or is otherwise physically damaged, it must be replaced, stored in
a container resistant to sulfuric acid and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
If electrolyte comes into contact with skin, the affected area should be washed immediately
with large amounts of water.
Installation
NOTE
The NX UPS can be used in TN utility system.
1.1 External Inspections
1. While the UPS system is still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container(s) for
any signs of damage or mishandling. Do not attempt to install the system if damage is apparent.
If any damage is noted, file a damage claim with the shipping agency within 24 hours and contact
Liebert Global Services at 1-800-LIEBERT to inform them of the damage claim and the condition
of the equipment.
2. Compare the contents of the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the
carrier and your local Liebert representative immediately.
1.2 Internal Inspections
1. Remove any packaging material, then visually examine the UPS and battery equipment for
transit damage, both internally and externally. Report any such damage to the shipper and to
Liebert immediately.
2. Check the nameplate inside the cabinet door to verify that the model number and rating
correspond to the ones specified. Record the model number and serial number in the front of this
installation manual. This information is necessary should service be required.
3. Check for loose connections or unsecured components in the cabinet.
4. Check for shipping damage to internal components.
4
1.2.1 Storing for Delayed Installation
If the equipment will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors where the humidity is no
higher than 90% and the temperature is no higher than 104°F (40°C). The storage area must protect
the NX from excessive moisture (see 6.2 - UPS Environmental).
CAUTION
!
If the UPS must remain disconnected from power for more than six (6) months, the battery
must be recharged before use. To charge the batteries, the unit must be connected to utility
power and started up—the charger operates only while the NX is operating.
CAUTION
!
When batteries are installed in the UPS or are cabinet-mounted adjacent to the UPS unit, the
battery—not the UPS—dictates the designed maximum ambient temperature.
1.3 Preliminary Checks
1.3.1 Identification
The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the back of the main door listing the type and
size of the UPS.
1.4 UPS Location
Installation
1.4.1 Positioning the UPS
Choose a location for the UPS that offers:
• Easy connection to inputs, outputs and auxiliary equipment
• Enough space to service the UPS
• Air circulation sufficient to expel heat produced by UPS
• Protection against moisture and excessive humidity
• Protection against dust and other particulate matter
• Compliance with fire prevention regulations and practices
• Operating environment temperature of 74-80°F (23-27°C) for maximum battery efficiency
1.4.2 Environmental Considerations
Before installing the NX, verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions stipulated
in 6.2 - UPS Environmental, paying particular attention to the ambient temperature and air
exchange system.
The UPS unit should be installed in a cool, dry, clean-air environment with adequate ventilation to
keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
For optimal UPS and battery system performance and service life, maintain the operating temperature within the range of 74-80°F, (23-27°C).
The NX UPS cooled by internal fans. Cooling air enters the unit through the front of the unit and is
exhausted out the top. To permit proper air flow and prevent overheating, do NOT block or cover the
ventilation openings or blow air down onto the unit. Ventilation clearance above the unit must be a
minimum of 24 in. (610mm).
See Table 9 for details on heat dissipation.
Battery Location
Temperature is a major factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery manufacturers recommend an operating temperature of 77°F (25°C). Ambient temperatures warmer than this reduce battery life; temperatures below this reduces battery capacity. In a typical installation, battery
temperature should be maintained between 74°F and 80°F (23-27°C). Batteries should be placed
where there are no main heat sources or air inlets to prevent portions of batteries from being either
much warmer or much cooler than other parts of the batteries.
5
1.4.3 Special Considerations for 1+N Systems
1. Consider the grounding configuration of your system before finalizing module placement. For
optimal ground performance, the NX modules should be close together.
2. For optimal load-sharing performance, the UPS output cables should be approximately the same
length, plus or minus 20 percent.
3. Position modules in such a way as to minimize the length of power cables and control wiring
between UPS modules and the paralleling cabinet.
1.5 Considerations in Moving the NX
Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft2 or kg/cm2) of any
handling equipment. See Table 9 for weights of various units.
To move the UPS and optional battery cabinets:
• The NX may be rolled on its casters when moving the unit a short distance. For longer distances,
move the UPS with a forklift or similar equipment to ease the relocation and to reduce vibration.
The optional battery cabinets should be moved with a forklift or similar equipment.
WARNING
!
Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the NX has sufficient lifting capacity.
The NX weight ranges from 850 to 1400 lb. (386 to 635kg). See Table 9 for details. The UPS
presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the NX further than 15 degrees from vertical.
The UPS is fitted with casters—take care to prevent movement when unbolting the
equipment from its shipping pallet. Ensure adequate personnel and lifting equipment are
available when taking the NX off its shipping pallet. Do not tilt the unit more than 15 degrees
from center.
Installation
WARNING
!
The casters are strong enough for movement across even surfaces only. Casters may fail if
they are subjected to shock loading, such as being dropped or rolled over holes in the floor or
obstructions. Such failure may cause the unit to tip over, injuring personnel and damaging
the equipment.
Care must be taken when maneuvering units fitted with batteries. Keep such moves to a
minimum. For further information, see Battery Cabinet Precautions on page 2.
Final Position
When the equipment has been finally positioned, ensure that the adjustable stops are set so that the
UPS will remain stationary and stable (see 7.0 - Installation Drawings).
1.6 Mechanical Considerations
The NX is constructed with a steel frame and removable panels. Top and side panels are secured to
the chassis by screws. The doors may be opened for access to power connections bars, auxiliary terminals blocks and power switches.
The UPS comes with an operator control panel, which provides basic operational status and alarm
information. The cabinet houses both the power components and the internal batteries. Cooling is
provided by internal fans. The unit sits on four casters. Adjustable stops are provided to prevent the
UPS from moving once it has been moved to its final position.
6
1.6.1 Clearances
There are no ventilation grilles on the sides or rear of the UPS. The sides must be accessible during
installation. After installation, the unit may be placed with the rear against a wall and optional cabinets on either side.
To enable routine tightening of power terminations within the UPS, make sure there is sufficient
clearance in front of the NX to permit free passage of personnel with the door fully opened.
Leave a minimum of 2 ft. (610mm) between the top of the UPS and the ceiling to permit adequate air
circulation above the unit. Liebert recommends against using air conditioning or other systems that
blow air onto the top of the unit.
1.6.2 Floor Installation
The diagrams in 7.0 - Installation Drawings show the location of holes in the base plate for bolting
the equipment to the floor. An optional anchoring kit is available. For information, see your local Liebert representative.
If the equipment is to be placed on a raised floor, it should be mounted on a pedestal that will support
the equipment point loading. Refer to the bottom view in Figure 28 to design this pedestal.
1.6.3 Cable Entry
Cables can enter the NX from the top or bottom. Cable entry is made possible by removing a metal
plate attached to the UPS.
These plates are designed to allow the personnel to punch holes for fitting and securing the conduit.
Once the conduit holes are punched, these plates should be reattached to the UPS.
Installation
Connecting cables to the NX may require that the UPS be accessible from the left side to allow personnel to complete the connections and make necessary adjustments. After installation is complete,
the NX may be serviced from the front.
NOTE
When installing the UPS, the customer must provide a disconnect with overcurrent protection
at the output of the UPS.
10-30kVA UPS
The 10-30kVA NX consists of a single cabinet housing the UPS components and the internal battery
string.
Optional battery cabinets are available to provide extended run time. Each cabinet houses additional
strings of batteries that operate in parallel with the NX’s internal batteries. The cabinets are
designed to be bolted to the right side of the UPS (see Figure 1). Refer to 3.4 - External Battery
Cabinet Installation for details.
Optional maintenance bypass/transformer cabinets (MBC-T) are available. These cabinets house the
components necessary to:
• Provide an external wrap-around maintenance bypass switch for servicing the UPS
• Provide voltage transformation for site or application requirements
• Provide a means for neutral isolation and allow installations for site without a neutral conductor
MBC-T cabinets are designed to be bolted to the left side of the UPS (see Figure 1). Refer to 4.5 -
Locating the Cabinet, for further details.
System Composition
A UPS system can comprise a number of equipment cabinets, depending on the individual system
design requirements—e.g., UPS cabinet and External Bypass cabinet. In general, all cabinets used
will be the same height and are designed to be positioned side-by-side to form an aesthetically appealing equipment suite.
7
1.6.4 Optional Cabinets
If your NX installation includes a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, the NX must be positioned to allow
the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet to be bolted to left side of the NX (see Figure 1). Cables from the
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be brought through the bottom side of the NX for connection.
The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be cabled and bolted to the NX before the UPS and bypass
cabinet are moved into their final position. Connect the input wiring to the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet ONLY after the units are connected and positioned.
Battery cabinets may be bolted to either side of the NX, unless used in configurations that include a
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet. If used with a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, battery cabinets must be
installed on the right side of the UPS; see Figure 1 below.

2.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The UPS requires both power and control cabling once it has been mechanically installed. All control
cables must run separate from power cables in metal conduits or metal ducts that are electrically
bonded to the metalwork of the cabinets to which they are connected.
WARNING
!
Before connecting input power to the NX, ensure that you are aware of the location and
operation of the overcurrent protection devices that connect the UPS input/bypass supply to
the power distribution panel.
De-energize and lockout or tagout all incoming high- and low-voltage power circuits before
installing cables or making any electrical connections.
2.1 Power Cabling
2.1.1 Cable Rating
The main factors affecting the choice and size of cable are voltage, current (also taking into account
overcurrent), room temperature and conditions of installation of the cable.
The power cables of the system must be sized with respect to the following description:
• UPS input cables - The UPS input cables must be sized for the maximum input current, including the maximum battery recharge current, given in Table 10, with respect to the unit rating and
the input AC voltage.
• UPS bypass and output cables - The bypass and output cables must be sized for the nominal
output current, given in Table 10, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.
• Battery cables - Each UPS unit has its own internal batteries factory-wired. If connecting an
external battery cabinet, the battery cables must be sized for the battery discharge current at the
end-of-discharge voltage, as given in Table 10, with respect to the unit rating.
Electrical Connections
NOTE
Table 10 gives nominal currents for determining the size of UPS power cables. Other
important factors to consider include cable route length and coordination with protective
devices.
The power cables can be sized to suit the UPS unit rating according to Table 10.
Lug Size and Torque Requirements
Refer to Table 27 for lug size and torque requirements.

2.1.2 UPS Input Configuration
Figure 2 illustrates the NX in a split bypass (dual-input) configuration. In this configuration the
Static Bypass and the Maintenance Bypass lines are supplied from a separate feed from the Main
input. Both sources must be protected externally with properly sized protective devices. By default,
the unit ships with internal links installed between the Bypass input and Main input (Single Input
configuration). To wire the unit as a dual input UPS, remove the links and wire the bypass to the
input bus bars, then wire the Main input directly to CB1 (see Figure 3).

1. Take special care when determining the size of the neutral cable, as current circulating on the
neutral cable may be greater than nominal current in the case of non-linear loads. Refer to the
values in 6.4 - UPS Electrical Characteristics.
2. The ground conductor should be sized according to such factors as the fault rating, cable lengths
and type of protection. The ground cable connecting the UPS to the main ground system must
follow the most direct route possible. Control wiring and power wiring must be run in separate
conduit. Output and input cables must be run in separate conduit.
3. Consider using paralleled smaller cables for heavy currents—this can ease installation.
4. When sizing battery cables, a maximum voltage drop of 4VDC is permissible at the current
ratings in Table 10. For terminal connection sizing, see Table 10.
5. In most installations, especially parallel multi-module systems, the load equipment is connected
to a distribution network of individually protected busbars fed by the UPS output, rather than
connected directly to the UPS itself. When this is the case, the UPS output cables can be rated to
suit the individual distribution network demands rather than being fully load-rated.

NOTE
If more load is added to the distribution panel, the unit’s cabling must be resized.
6. When laying power cables, do not form coils; this will help avoid increasing formation of
electromagnetic interference.
NOTE
Left-side access may be required when making power connections. Cable connections should be
made before a cabinet is attached to the left side of the NX or before the UPS is placed where
another obstruction, such as a wall, is against the NX’s the left side.

2.1.4 Cable Connections
The rectifier input, bypass and output are easily accessible from the left side of the unit for installation. All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the left side of the NX and
below the switch, as shown in Figure 3. These busbars are accessible when the left side panel is
removed. Busbars to connect external batteries are accessible from the front of the UPS.
NOTE
External battery connection access requires removal of a protective panel on the lower front of
the UPS to the left of the bottom two battery shelves.

2.1.5 Safety Ground
The safety ground busbar is located below the neutral input and output busbars as shown in
Figure 5 below. The safety ground cable must be connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each
cabinet in the system.
All cabinets and cable conduit should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
!
Failure to follow proper grounding procedures can result in electric shock hazard to personnel
or the risk of fire, should a ground fault occur.
NOTE
Proper grounding significantly reduces problems in systems caused by electromagnetic
interference.
NOTE
The ground and neutral busbars are easily accessible when the left protective cover plate is
removed. Cable connections should be made before a cabinet is attached to the left side of the
NX or before the UPS is placed where another obstruction, such as a wall, is against the NX’s
the left side.

2.1.6 Protective Devices
For safety, it is necessary to install circuit breakers in the input AC supply and external battery battery cabinets, external to the UPS system. Given that every installation has its own characteristics,
this section provides guidelines for qualified installation engineers with knowledge of operating practices, regulatory standards and the equipment to be installed.
UPS Rectifier and Bypass Input Supply
• Protection from excessive overcurrents and short circuits in power supply input
External overcurrent protection for the AC output circuit is to be provided. See 6.4 - UPS Elec-
trical Characteristics and Table 12 for overload capacity.
High-speed fuses and SCRs are used for internal battery circuit overcurrent protection. When an
external battery supply is used, overcurrent protection for the battery circuit is to be provided by
the customer.
• Dual Input
When wiring the UPS with dual inputs, the Rectifier input and the Bypass input must be protected separately. Size the breakers according to the input currents shown in Table 10.

2.1.7 Cabling Procedure
CAUTION
!
The operations described in this section must be performed by authorized electricians or
qualified technical personnel. If you have any difficulties, contact your local Liebert
representative or Liebert Global Services.
NOTE
Hydraulic pressure pliers, combinative tools and piston ring pliers should be used to connect
AC wiring.
Once the equipment has been positioned and secured for operation, and the battery and ground collars have been connected (see 2.1.4 - Cable Connections), connect the power cables as described
below. (Study the reference drawing in 7.0 - Installation Drawings.)
1. Verify that all incoming high and low voltage power circuits are de-energized and locked out or
tagged out before installing cables or making any electrical connections.
2. Remove the left side panel to gain easier access to the connections busbars.
3. Connect the safety ground and any easier bonding ground bus cables to the copper ground busbar
located on the bottom of the equipment below the power connections. All cabinets in the UPS
system must be connected to the user’s ground connection.
NOTE
The grounding and neutral bonding arrangement must comply with the National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes.
Electrical Connections
4. Identify and make power connections with incoming cables according to Steps 5 through 11.
Common Input Connections
5. For common bypass and rectifier inputs, connect the AC input supply cables between the power
distribution panel and the UPS input busbars (A-B-C terminals) and tighten the connections to
44 lb-in. (5 N-m) using the M6 bolt provided.
6. The input neutral cable must be connected to the input neutral busbar (N). See Figure 5.
Dual Input Connections
7. For bypass connect the AC input supply cables between the power distribution panel and the UPS
input busbars (A-B-C terminals) and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in. (5 N-m) using the M6
bolt provided.
8. For Rectifier Input connect AC input supply cables between the power distribution panel and the
UPS input circuit breaker (A-B-C terminals)
9. The bypass and rectifier input neutral cables must be connected to the input neutral busbar (N).
See Figure 5.
NOTE
Both the rectifier and bypass feeds MUST come from the same utility source, except if the UPS
system includes either a configuration F or P external maintenance bypass cabinet.
Output System Connections—Ensure Correct Phase Rotation
10. Connect the system output cables between the UPS output busbars (A-B-C N terminals) and the
critical load and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in. (5 N-m) (M6 bolt).
WARNING
!
If the load equipment will not be ready to accept power on the arrival of the commissioning
engineer, then ensure that the system output cables are safely isolated.
13
Internal UPS Battery Connections
The UPS internal batteries will be connected at the factory, EXCEPT the Anderson connections
between the shelves and to the fuses.
WARNING
!
The DC bus is live when this internal battery connection is made. This connection is to be
performed ONLY by Liebert Global Services at startup.
Observe the battery cable polarity. Be sure that the battery connector is made with the correct polarity.
11. Refit all protective covers removed for cable installation
