Monitoring Is Designed To Protect
Against The Threats You Can’t See
Without Proper Support
Vital Processes Just Cannot
Function
Critical systems are the lifeblood of
your operations. If something should
happen to them,you are simply out
of business. You need to monitor
and control your entire facility
protection infrastructure to ensure
maximum availability and
continuous productivity. Vital
computing, communications and
industrial process control facilities all
depend on power protection and
mission-critical air control systems
to maintain their operations.
If a problem develops in any one of
these support systems — the
performance of the entire facility is
at risk. These systems may be
located close by…or on the other
side of the world. No matter where
they are located, problems can and
will develop. The difference is
whether or not you will be able to
react to these problems before they
become disasters.
The Reasons For Monitoring Are Many
Expose Unknown Threats — Leaking water,
developing equipment problems and other
undetected conditions can shut down critical
systems without any warning.
Enable Proactive Management — A developing
problem that goes unreported could signal trouble
ahead for a vital piece of computer support
equipment. Knowing the up-to-the minute
condition of these systems allows preventive
measures to be taken in the most efficient and
effective manner.
Reduce Expenses — Electronic monitoring give you
the ability to detect and resolve problems for a
wide range of products from a central location and
notify support staff anywhere in the world. It also
requires less manpower, reduces downtime and
provides detailed information for easier
troubleshooting.
Keep Equipment Operating — The ability to
eliminate previously unseen problems by
graphically viewing the operation of support
systems in real-time helps prevent downtime and
promotes productivity.
Solve The Right Problem — Unrecorded data
involving an operational event might
cause you to miss the real trouble spot. Having
access to the right information provides
the ability to properly diagnose the source of the
problem in the first place and helps to prevent
repeat occurrences.

Undetected. Unrecorded. Unreported. Uncorrected.
Can You Really Afford Not To Know?
Monitoring is the key to knowing what is happening
within your facility, not knowing may cost more than
you can pay. Loss of productivity due to system
downtime and the associated costs are a direct result
of not reacting to problems within your operations.
Because of the major investment you’ve made in critical
facilities and the systems to support and protect their
operation—it just doesn’t make sense not to monitor
your investment.
If you don’t know what is happening inside your critical
facilities, the end result will be loss of availability.

Liebert Monitoring
Solutions Fall Into
These Seven Categories:
You Have To Know There Is A Problem
Before You Can Correct The Problem
Automated Shutdown Software
Protects your data from being lost
or corrupted during extended power
outages by initiating an orderly
shutdown of your computer systems.
Local And Remote Monitoring
Provides basic monitoring and control
for single or small groups of equipment
either at the equipment location or to
a remote site.
Battery Monitoring
Detects battery problems by continuously
monitoring all critical battery parameters
such as cell resistance, inter-cell and
inter-tier connections, cell voltage, overall
string voltage, current and temperature.
Leak Detection
Alerts facility personnel to the
presence of leaking fluids before
serious damage results.

There are any number of points within a critical facility where an unseen small
problem can develop—and lead to much larger and costlier disasters. These
examples show the types of occurrences that can develop—and what can happen if
they are not responded to in a timely manner.
Enclosure Systems
Racks and cabinets are a great way to
consolidate and protect equipment.
But by nature of a cabinet, problems
developed inside can be concealed.
1257
Critical Mechanical Systems
The good news is that you had a
redundant pump so that when
your primary pump failed your
cooling system stayed on-line.
The bad news is that you are
down to one pump and you
never know it.
2567
IT Monitoring
Provides cost-efficient, centralized
monitoring of various power and
environmental units utilizing an
existing network infrastructure.
Advanced Monitoring
Offers comprehensive, centralized
monitoring, control, data analysis
and reporting for a full range of
computer support systems.
Third Party Monitoring
Connectivity
The use of open protocols allows you to
interface Liebert units and monitoring
systems with other types and brands of
control equipment including BMS, NMS,
SCADA and fire alarm systems.

Automatic Transfer Switches
You have a utility power outage. Your
UPS is supplying battery power to your
computer equipment and your back-up
generator just came on-line. Life is good,
right? Wrong! If the ATS does not transfer
the load to generator power, then your
network is still going to go down when
you run out of battery power. Too little
knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
267
UPS Systems
Your UPS has an internal
fault and has been on
bypass since Sunday. No
one knows about it now—
but they will if you lose
utility power.
56721
Battery System
You have a weak cell in your
battery string. Too bad you
won’t find out about it until it
fails five minutes into the next
power outage.

Power Conditioning Units
A grounding problem in your power conditioning
system causes small voltage disturbances. You
may not even realize there is corrupt data or
damage to other systems until bigger problems
occur months later.
Breaker and Power Distribution
Several circuits are on the verge of
overload. If one of these breakers
trips, servers will crash. Too bad you
are not aware of the situation.

UPS Systems
Yesterday the UPS failed its automatic battery
self test. Today the UPS failed to carry the load
during a momentary power interruption,
halting a critical process. The problem isn’t the
5

UPS or the weak battery. The real problem is
that you didn’t know that the UPS failed a
self-diagnostic test.
3567
21
Environmental HVAC Systems
High head pressure, compressor
short cycling, dirty filters, pump
or fan failure—these are just a few
of the problems that can cause
mission-critical air conditioning
systems and other HVAC equipment
to go down and temperatures to
go up. One more problem? Not
knowing that these troubles are
developing in the first place.

Water Leaks
Your data cabling is lying in a growing
puddle of water under the raised floor
because of a plumbing leak. It is just a
matter of time before that affects your
operation. Who knows how long it
will take to track down the cause
of the problem.

467
Static Transfer Switches
A transfer switch fails to
transfer when your primary
power feed goes down in
the middle of the night.
You won’t know about it,
though, until tomorrow
morning when there are
no sales reports, no e-mails
and certainly no one
conducting normal business.
2567
Generator Operation
The good news is your
emergency generator came
on-line during a power failure
last night and kept things
running for several hours.
The bad news is that the
fuel tank is now almost
empty—and no one realizes
it, leaving you unprotected
for the next outage.
267
DC Power Systems
An overvoltage condition in an
essential DC power system
causes an alarm to sound.
Problem is, no one is there
to hear it.
2567
Surge Protection
Thank goodness you installed that surge
protector. It has protected your site
through many thunderstorms. Too bad
it self-destructed protecting you from
that last surge and you don’t know that
it needs to be replaced.
267
Intrusion Alarm
The entrance of unauthorized
personnel into a remote shelter
is a big problem. The real
problem is that the person who
needs to know this is happening
is unaware and possibly isn’t in
the same building—or even the
same state.

Liebert Monitoring Solutions Provide The
Right Information To The Right People.

How Deep Does Your Monitoring Need To Be?
Important facility operational and status information needs
to be communicated by different means with varying levels
of importance. This is why Liebert gives you so many ways
to supervise your enterprise.
Critical Information Takes Many Forms
Monitoring can range from a simple remote panel
that provides basic operating information from an air
conditioning unit—all the way to full-scale monitoring
and control of a critical facility including trending and
data analysis.
Your requirements will vary according to the
specificity of the information you need. You may
require no more than a local readout of a unit’s
operating status. Or you may need the ability to
control its operation and receive alarms.
These information requirements may also go beyond
basic monitoring and control. You may need the
ability to analyze performance data in order to
pinpoint trouble spots so that the same problems
don’t happen again and again.
It may also be necessary to share information with an
existing building management system (BMS) or other
supervisory controls.
What Exactly Do You Need To Know?
You need enough information to guard against
anything that can keep your critical support systems
from being able to protect the operation of your
computing and communications systems. Knowing
where and what the problem is—that’s the first step to
keeping it from becoming a disaster. No matter what
you need to know about the operation of your facility
and the essential systems inside, Liebert has a product
that will enable you to do it.
