1.0INSTALLATION
Liebert’s NX Uninterruptible Power Supply system provides continuous, high-quality AC power to
your business-critical equipment, such as telecommunications and data processing equipment. The
Liebert NX UPS supplies power that is free of the disturbances and variations in voltage and frequency common to utility power, which is subject to brownouts, blackouts, surges and sags.
The Liebert NX utilizes the latest in high-frequency, double-conversion pulse width modulation technology and fully digital controls to enhance its reliability and increase the ease of use. This section
describes the Liebert 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.
Installation
WARNING
!
Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with this equipment.
When connected together, the nominal battery voltage is 480VDC and is potentially lethal.
• Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.
• Remove rings, watches and all other metal objects.
• Use only 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.
NOTE
The Liebert NX UPS can be used in TN utility system.
1.1External 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.
4
1.2Internal 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.
1.2.1Storing 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 Liebert NX from excessive moisture (see 5.2 - UPS Environmental).
CAUTION
!
If the battery cabinet must remain disconnected from power for more than six (6) months, the
battery must be recharged before use. To charge the batteries, the battery cabinet must be
connected to the Liebert NX UPS and the UPS must be connected to utility power and started
up because the charger operates only while the Liebert NX UPS is operating.
CAUTION
!
When batteries are installed in a cabinet adjacent to the UPS unit, the battery—not the
UPS—dictates the designed maximum ambient operating temperature.
Installation
1.3Preliminary Checks
1.3.1Identification
The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the back of the main door listing the type and
size of the UPS.
1.4UPS Location
1.4.1Positioning 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
1.4.2Environmental Considerations
Before installing the Liebert NX, verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions
stipulated in 5.2 - 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 Liebert 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 8 in. (203mm).
See Table 7 for details on heat dissipation.
5
Battery Location
Batteries must be installed in Liebert NX 480V battery cabinets or battery room. Temperature is a
major factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery manufacturers recommend an operating temperature of 77°F (25°C). Ambient temperatures higher than this reduce battery life; temperatures lower than this reduce 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.
1.4.3Special Considerations for Parallel Systems
1. Consider the grounding configuration of your system before finalizing module placement. For
optimal ground performance, the Liebert 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.
1.5Considerations in Moving the Liebert NX
Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft2 or kg/cm2) of any
handling equipment. See Table 7 for weights of various units.
To move the UPS and optional battery cabinets:
• The Liebert 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.
Installation
WARNING
!
Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the Liebert NX has sufficient lifting
capacity. The Liebert NX weight ranges from 1180 to 1290 lb. (535 to 585kg). See Table 7 for
details. The UPS presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the Liebert 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 Liebert NX off its shipping pallet. Do not tilt the unit more than 15
degrees from center.
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 cabinets 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 6.0 - Installation Drawings).
1.6Mechanical Considerations
The Liebert 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 terminal blocks and power switches.
The UPS comes with an operator control panel, which provides basic operational status and alarm
information. 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
1.6.1Clearances
There are no ventilation grilles on the sides or rear of the UPS. 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 Liebert NX to permit free passage of personnel with the door fully opened.
Leave a minimum of 8 in. (203mm) 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.
1.6.2Floor Installation
The diagrams in 6.0 - Installation Drawings show the location of holes in the base plate for bolting
the equipment to the floor.
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 21 to design this pedestal.
1.6.3Cable Entry
Cables can enter the Liebert 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
CAUTION
!
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with correct amperes maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection (see Table 8) in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE
When installing the UPS, the customer must provide a disconnect with overcurrent protection
at the output of the UPS.
System Composition
A UPS system can comprise a number of equipment cabinets, depending on the individual system
design requirements—e.g., UPS cabinet with External Bypass cabinet and Maintenance Bypass cabinet. In general, all cabinets used will be the same height and are designed to be positioned side-byside to form an aesthetically appealing equipment suite.
1.6.4Optional Cabinets
The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be cabled and bolted to the Liebert 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 Liebert NX; see Figure 1.

2.0ELECTRICAL 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 Liebert 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.
2.1Power Cabling
2.1.1Cable 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 8, 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 8, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.
• Battery cables - When 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 8, with
respect to the unit rating.
Electrical Connections
NOTE
Table 8 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 8.
Lug Size and Torque Requirements
Refer to Table 24 for lug size and torque requirements.
NOTE
When installing a Liebert NX with Softscale
bypass and output cabling for the UPS’s maximum rating. Properly sizing the cable will
reduce the work required to upgrade the UPS.
™
capability Liebert recommends sizing the input,
10
2.1.2UPS Input Configuration
Figure 3 illustrates the Liebert 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 4).
The following are guidelines only and are superseded by local regulations and codes of practice where
applicable. Use wiring rated at 75°C or greater.
1. The ground conductor should be sized in accordance with the input overcurrent protection device
data in Table 8. 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.
2. Consider using paralleled smaller cables for heavy currents—this can ease installation.
3. When sizing battery cables, a maximum voltage drop of 4VDC is permissible at the current
ratings in UPS terminal. For terminal connection sizing, see Table 8.
4. 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.
5. When laying power cables, do not form coils; this will help avoid increasing formation of
electromagnetic interference.
11
2.1.4Cable Connections
The rectifier input, bypass and output are easily accessible from the front of the unit for installation.
All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the front side of the Liebert NX
and below the circuit breaker, as shown in Figure 4. These busbars are accessible when the front
side panel is removed. Busbars to connect external batteries are accessible from the front of the UPS.
NOTE
External connection access requires removal of a protective panel on the lower front of the UPS.

2.1.5Safety Ground
The safety ground busbar is located below the Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker as shown in
Figure 4. 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 electromagnetic interference problems in systems.
NOTE
The ground busbar is easily accessible when the lower protective cover plate is removed.
2.1.6Protective 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.
Electrical Connections
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 5.4 - UPS Elec-
trical Characteristics and Table 9 for overload capacity.
When an external battery supply not made by Liebert is used, the customer must provide overcur-
rent protection for the battery circuit.
• 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 8. In dual
input configuration, the neutral wire of each source should be connected together to guarantee
dual source has the same voltage potential to earth.
13
2.1.7Cabling 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 6.0 - 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 front protective cover 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 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 9.
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
88 lb-in. (10 N-m) using the M8 bolt provided.
Dual Input Connections
6. For the 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 88 lb-in. (10 N-m) using the

3.0BATTERY INSTALLATION
3.1Introduction
If using multiple sets of batteries connected in parallel to provide the required battery backup run
times, fit each set with an isolating device to permit working on one of the battery sets while leaving
the others in service and providing backup protection.
When replacing batteries, replace with the same manufacturer and type, or equivalent. See your Liebert representative for a list of approved batteries.
3.2Safety
Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with the Liebert NX system
equipment. When all batteries are connected together, the battery terminal voltage may exceed 480V
and is POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
WARNING
!
The Liebert NX's internal batteries are connected and energized even if the UPS is turned
Off. To minimize the risk of injury, a qualified service person should disconnect the batteries
before any maintenance is performed on the unit.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
Battery Installation
CAUTION
!
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with DC amperes (see Table 12)
maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE
The maximum available fault current from the battery supply is 8500A and the DC voltage
rating of the battery supply overcurrent protective device that is to be installed near the battery
supply must be at least 600VDC.

Collector Module
Battery Installation
Optional Alber
Controller Module
Battery Trays
The same model battery cabinet may be installed in parallel in multiple cabinet strings for additional
capacity. Battery run time depends on the cabinet model, the number of cabinets and the load on the
UPS.
Handling—The battery cabinet has casters to facilitate movement over short distances. The bottoms
of the battery cabinets are reinforced to permit movement by forklift over longer distances.
Inspection—Remove all panels and visually inspect the batteries, bus connections and cabinet for
any damage. Exercise caution: voltage is present within the battery cabinet even before installation.
If there are signs of damage, do not proceed. Call Liebert Global Services at 1-800-542-2378.
BCB Plate and BCB
Storage—The batteries can be stored for up to six months without appreciable deterioration. If planning to store a battery cabinet for longer than six months or at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C),
contact Liebert Global Services for recommended precautions.
CAUTION
!
Any battery system should be installed by qualified personnel.
When installing an external battery cabinet that is NOT a Liebert NX battery cabinet, the customer
must provide overcurrent protection. See Table 8 for sizing of protection devices.
NOTE
When using an external battery supply that is not provided by Liebert, refer to the battery
manufacturer’s installation manual for battery installation and maintenance instructions,
available on the manufacturer’s Web site.
NOTE
When replacing batteries, Liebert recommends that the all batteries in external cabinets be the
same type. See Table 11 for a list of batteries that are approved for use with this product.
22
3.3.2Connecting the Batteries
If the Liebert NX battery cabinets are installed on a raised floor, the battery power cables and circuit
breaker control cables may be routed to the UPS cabinet via the floor of the cabinet (bottom entry).
If the Liebert NX battery cabinets are installed adjacent to one another on a solid floor, these cables
may be passed between the cabinets through lifting slots in the lower sides of the cabinets.
Intertray connections must be made before the battery cabinet can be used.
Figure 12 Battery cabinet—details
Battery Installation
Insulated Post
for Cabling
3.3.3Installation Considerations
Position— If the system includes a matching maintenance bypass cabinet (MBC), the MBC should
be installed first and the battery cabinet installed on the opposite side of the UPS. Otherwise, leftside placement of the battery cabinet is preferable.
The battery cabinet(s) are designed to be located conveniently next to each UPS module, and are also
available in stand-alone configurations with painted side panels. The front access design eliminates
side and rear service clearance requirements. Refer to Table 28 for battery cabinet dimensions and
weights.
Bolt-On Cabinets—Matching battery cabinets are designed to bolt onto the side of the UPS module
cabinet. Use bolts that ship with each unit to connect cabinet frames at posts, two places in the front
and two places in the rear.
Service Clearance—Allow front access to the battery cabinet at all times for maintenance and servicing. Electrical codes require that the battery cabinet be installed with no less than 3 feet (1m) of
clearance at the front of the cabinet when operating. Side and rear panels do not require service clearance.
Cables—Cables may be run between the cabinets through cutouts in the top of the cabinet, eliminating the need for external conduit runs. Route cables before moving cabinets into final position for bolting together. No top or bottom entry cables are required, except for remotely located cabinets which
require conduits.
Software—To allow the UPS to accurately display the battery run time, the number of battery cabinets must be noted when performing initial startup and setup using the configuration software. This
is to be performed by the Liebert Global Services customer engineer when commissioning the unit.
Casters and Adjustable Stops—The adjustable stops are not designed to bear the full weight of the
cabinet. Lower the stops until they are finger-tight in contact with the floor. Then tighten a small
amount with a wrench (less than two turns) to give a good friction fit. When mounting the battery
cabinet on seismic stands, ensure that the casters are bearing the weight of the cabinet.
Battery Support Tray—Be sure to connect the battery tray support to the front of the cabinet
before sliding a battery tray out for connection or service. Without the support, the battery tray may
fall out of the cabinet. See Figure 13 for details.

3.3.4Connecting the Battery Cabinet to the UPS
After the battery cabinet equipment has been positioned and secured for operation and the batteries
have been connected, connect the power cables as described below. (See Figure 28.)
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 UPS front protective cover to gain access to the equipment ground busbar.
3. Connect the safety ground and any necessary bonding ground cables to the copper ground busbar.
(example: UPS 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 bonding arrangement must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and all applicable local codes.
4. Connect the system battery cables. Be sure that the battery connections are made with the right
polarity, and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in. (5 N-m) (M6 Bolt). Do not close the battery circuit
breaker before the equipment has been commissioned.
5. Connect supplied auxiliary control cable to pins J10.2 and J10.3 on the U2 monitoring board (see
2.3 - Dry Contacts).
3.4Non-Standard Batteries
When batteries other than a matching battery cabinet are used, a remote battery disconnect switch
with overcurrent protection is required per the National Electrical Code. Contact your local Liebert
sales representative about this option.
Install battery racks, cabinets and batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Verify that the battery area has adequate ventilation and battery operating temperature complies
with the manufacturer's specifications and with all applicable national and local codes.
If you have any questions concerning batteries, battery racks or accessories, contact Liebert Global
Services at 1-800-543-2378.

3.5BCB Shunt Trip
The Liebert NX battery cabinet has the shunt trip installed in the circuit breaker. When a DC ground
fault (using the optional DC Ground Fault kit), a battery overtemperature or EPO is activated, the
shunt trip will open the circuit breaker.
NOTE
The Liebert NX battery Cabinet circuit breaker will not open at the end of a battery
discharge. The UPS will isolate the batteries internally in this situation.
24
3.6Alber Monitoring System—Optional
The Liebert matching battery cabinet allows installing an optional Alber Battery monitoring system
in the cabinet. The Alber Battery Monitoring by Liebert continuously checks all critical battery
parameters, such as cell voltage, overall string voltage, current and temperature. Automatic periodic
tests of internal resistance of each battery will verify the battery’s operating integrity. Additional
capabilities include automatic internal DC resistance tests and trend analysis providing the ability to
analyze performance and aid in troubleshooting.
The Alber monitoring system is installed inside the battery cabinet (see Figure 11). The monitoring
system requires approximately 0.5A, single-phase 480V.
NOTE
This power must be UPS protected.
This power can come from the output terminals of the UPS, a distribution panel, or another
UPS-protected source. This power is to be field supplied. See Figure 26 for wiring location.
For details about operating the Alber system, see the Alber Monitoring System manual.

4.0OPTIONS
4.1Load Bus Synchronization
The Load Bus Synchronizer (LBS) keeps the output of two independent UPS systems or parallel UPS
systems in synchronization even when the systems are operating in different modes and even when
either or both systems are operating on batteries. When the LBS is used, one UPS system is designated as master, the other as slave.
The LBS option is typically used with dual-corded equipment or with either the Liebert SmartSwitch
or Static Transfer Switch (STS) for single-corded equipment.
4.1.1Performance Requirements
The LBS operates under the following conditions:
• Both master and slave are on inverter
(either system may be on inverter through the rectifier or on inverter through the batteries)
• Master on inverter and slave on bypass
• Master on bypass and slave on inverter
• Master and slave on bypass IF the bypass source is the same for both systems
4.1.2LBS Cable and Settings
For Liebert NX-to-Liebert NX dual bus configuration, only one optional LBS cable is required, the
built-in LBS will operate normally without an extra LBS control box or interface box. The LBS port is
X4 on the parallel board (M3). The parallel board is on the interior of the Liebert NX, above and left of
the power electronics; see Figure 23.
Options
An optional, 9-pin LBS cable is used to connect two UPS systems through each system’s DB9 port on
its parallel board. For two parallel systems, the LBS cable can be mounted between any two units
belonging to different parallel systems. For information about the LBS kit or to order the optional
equipment, see your local Liebert representative.
The LBS cable is connected as illustrated in Figures 14 and 15.

4.2Configuring Parallel System Operation
4.2.1General
The Liebert NX uses intelligent and reliable decentralized technology to achieve parallel operation of
two or more modules.
The parallel system is used to:
• Increase the reliability of the system to ensure adequate power supply to the critical load connected.
• Increase serviceability and allow the execution of maintenance operations and repairs without
affecting the ordinary operating conditions of the system (depending on the redundancy level).
4.2.2Features of Parallel System
• The controls for parallel UPS module operation are standard in the Liebert NX, and the configuration can be set up by changing the settings in configuration software.
• It is easy to install the parallel cables in a ring, providing high reliability and redundancy. And
the intelligent paralleling logic provides the user with maximum flexibility. For example, shutting down or starting up the UPS modules in the parallel system can be done in any sequence. If
an overload transfer occurs, the whole system can recover automatically from bypass mode after
the overload is cleared.
• The total load of the parallel system can be queried from each module’s liquid crystal display
screen.

The parallel redundant system can noticeably improve system reliability. In normal condition, none of
the UPS modules work at full load. That means that even if the load is increased, the system will not
transfer to bypass. And when a UPS module shuts down due to any failure, the remaining UPS modules can still power and protect the load. When redundancy is lost due to module failure or load
increase, the parallel system will trigger an alarm.
4.2.4Operation Modes Summary
The parallel system also has operation modes such as normal, battery, bypass and maintenance
bypass. All UPS modules in the parallel system operate in coordination.
• Normal Mode Operation
The load is powered by the inverters of all the UPS modules in the system. If the frequency of
bypass is within the synchronous range, the inverter will be synchronized with the bypass. Otherwise, the system will operate at nominal frequency.
• Battery Mode Operation
The batteries of all UPS modules power the load through their inverters. The system operates at
nominal frequency.
• Bypass Mode Operation
The condition to transfer to bypass mode is essentially the same as that of single module system.
The bypass of all the UPS modules powers the load.
• Maintenance Bypass Mode Operation
The sequence to transfer to maintenance bypass mode is the same as for transferring a single-
module system. The maintenance bypass switches should be switched on as synchronously as possible. Thus the system can be repaired without interrupting the power supply to critical load.
4.3Installing Parallel System
The basic installation procedure of parallel system is the same as that of single module system. The
following sections introduce only the installation procedures specific to the parallel system.
28
4.3.1Conditions for Parallel System
• Each UPS module must have the same bypass source.
• The outputs of all UPS modules are connected altogether.
• The main inputs can be from different sources, but the phase rotation sequence of main inputs,
bypass inputs and outputs must be correct and the same.
• The parallel logic cable and load sharing cable must be connected in a ring correctly (see
Figure 17).
NOTE
When paralleling UPS's with different power ratings, the power rating of the largest UPS can
be no more than four times the power rating of the smallest UPS
4.3.2Cabinet Installation
Parallel system composed of two or more UPS modules using parallel cabinet
The UPS modules that will form the parallel system should be placed side-by-side. Each battery cabinet is placed next to its corresponding UPS module.
The parallel cabinet should be placed in the middle of the system.
4.3.3Preliminary Checks
Each UPS module should have the same firmware and the same hardware version. Refer to the
instructions in 4.3.1 - Conditions for Parallel System.
Options
4.3.4Power Cables
Wiring of power cables is similar to that of a single module system (See 2.1 - Power Cabling). The
bypass sources of all modules should be the same, and the outputs should be connected altogether correctly.
Power cables are field-supplied. Power cables to the UPS’s of the paralleling cabinet must be routed
through either the top or bottom entry access of the UPS.
NOTE
The system input and/or output circuit breaker is to be field-supplied. See Table 8 for current
rating.
NOTE
The length and specifications of power cables including the bypass input cables and UPS
output cables should be the same, thus the load can be shared evenly in bypass mode.
4.3.5Parallel Control Cables
Parallel System Control Cables
Make the connections listed below on the parallel logic board (M3) inside the Liebert NX. (See
Figure 23 for the location of the parallel logic board):
Shielded and double-insulated control cables, available in lengths of up to 100 feet (30m), must be
interconnected in a ring configuration between UPS modules as shown below. The ring configuration
ensures high reliability of the control (refer to Figure 17).

7.0OPERATION
7.1General Description
Liebert’s NX provides continuous, high-quality AC power to your business-critical equipment, such as
telecommunications and data processing equipment. The Liebert NX UPS supplies power that is free
of the disturbances and variations in voltage and frequency common to utility power, which is subject
to brownouts, blackouts, surges and sags.
The Liebert NX utilizes the latest in high-frequency, double-conversion pulse width modulation technology and fully digital controls to enhance its reliability and increase the ease of use. Specifically, the
Liebert NX 480V utilizes soft-switching technology to greatly enhance efficiency.
As shown in Figure 38, the AC utility source is input at CB1 and the rectifier converts the AC utility
into DC power. The inverter converts that DC power from the utility—or DC power from the batteries—into AC power for the load. The batteries power the load through the inverter in the event of a
power failure. The utility source can also power the load through the static bypass.
If maintenance or repair of the UPS is necessary, the load can be switched without interruption in
service to the maintenance bypass.
Figure 38 Single module block diagram (dual input configuration)
Operation
53
7.1.1Bypass Supplies
The Liebert NX contains an electronically controlled switching circuit that enables the critical load to
be connected to either the inverter output or to a bypass power source via the static bypass line. During normal system operation the load is connected to the inverter and the inverter contactor is closed;
but in the event of a UPS overload or an inverter failure, the load is automatically transferred to the
static bypass line.
To provide a clean (no-break) load transfer between the inverter output and static bypass line, the
bypass static switch activates, connecting the load to bypass. To achieve this, the inverter output and
bypass supply must be fully synchronized during normal operating conditions. This is achieved
through the inverter control electronics, which make the inverter frequency track that of the static
bypass supply, provided that the bypass remains within an acceptable frequency window.
A manually controlled, maintenance bypass supply is incorporated into the UPS design. It enables the
critical load to be powered from the utility (bypass) supply while the UPS is shut down for routine
maintenance.
NOTE
When the UPS is operating in bypass mode or on maintenance bypass, the connected
equipment is not protected from power failures or surges and sags.
In dual input configuration, the neutrals of each source must be connected to each other, to
guarantee that the dual source has the same voltage potential to earth.
7.1.2Operating Modes
The UPS is designed to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer system in the following modes:
Operation
Normal Mode
Operating in normal mode, the Liebert NX’s rectifier derives power from a utility AC source and supplies regulated DC power to the inverter, which regenerates precise AC power to supply the connected
equipment. The rectifier also uses the utility source power to charge the batteries.
Battery Mode
When utility AC power fails, the Liebert NX protects the critical load by instantaneously channeling
battery power to the inverter, which continues supporting the critical load without interruption.
When utility power returns and is within acceptable limits, the Liebert NX automatically shifts back
to Normal mode, with the rectifier powering the critical load.
Bypass Mode
When the Liebert NX is in bypass mode, the load is directly supported by utility power and is without
battery backup protection.
The Liebert NX’s inverter static switch and bypass static switch will shift the load from the inverter
to bypass mode without an interruption in AC power if the inverter is synchronous with the bypass
and any of the following occurs:
• inverter fails
• inverter overload capacity is exceeded
• inverter is manually turned off by the user
NOTE
If the inverter is asynchronous with the bypass, the static switch will transfer the load from the
inverter to the bypass WITH interruption in AC power to the critical load. This interruption
will be less than 10ms. This interruption time may be altered by modifying the Output transfer
interrupt time setting.
54
Operation
Maintenance Mode
For maintenance or repair, the Liebert NX may be operated in maintenance mode. To place the Liebert NX in maintenance mode, the load must be transferred to bypass and the inverter must be
turned off. When those conditions are met, the CB3 may be turned on and the UPS may be shut down,
permitting disconnecting the batteries for maintenance.
CAUTION
!
The internal maintenance bypass must not be used when the UPS system is in a parallel
system.
WARNING
!
The UPS input and output must be protected with external overcurrent protection devices. In
maintenance mode, the input and output busbars remain energized.
Parallel Redundancy Mode (System Expansion)
For higher capacity, higher reliability or both, the outputs of up to four UPS modules can be programmed for directly paralleling while a built-in parallel controller in each UPS ensures automatic
load-sharing.
Frequency Converter Mode
The Liebert NX can be programmed into frequency converter mode for either 50Hz or 60Hz stable
output frequency. The input frequency may vary from 57Hz to 66Hz. In this mode, the static bypass
operation is disabled and the battery becomes optional, depending on any requirement to operate in
battery mode (stored energy mode).

The UPS is shut down but the load is connected to utility power via the
Maintenance Bypass Supply line.
NOTE: The load is not protected against disturbances in AC input power in
this mode.
No load power is supplied by the UPS. The load is connected to utility power
via the Maintenance Bypass Supply line.
NOTE: The load is not protected against disturbances in AC input power in
this mode.
The load power is supplied through the static bypass line. This may be
considered as a temporary mode during load transfers between inverter and
maintenance bypass or supply under abnormal operating conditions.

9.1.1Circuit Breakers
The UPS can be isolated by means of circuit breakers, mounted inside the cabinet and accessible after
opening the front door.
The location of the UPS power switches is shown in Figure 53.
Figure 53 Circuit breakers
Operating Instructions
The UPS unit circuit breakers are CB1, CB2, CB3 and CB5.
• CB1—Main Input circuit breaker; connects the utility supply to the UPS main input.
• CB2—Bypass circuit breaker; connects the utility supply to the UPS bypass.
• CB3—Maintenance Bypass breaker; connects the utility supply to the UPS maintenance bypass.
• CB5—Output breaker; connects inverter or bypass to the external output transformer or power
distribution panel.
71
9.2UPS Startup
The Liebert NX must be fully installed and commissioned before startup, and external power isolators
must be closed. Once those general conditions are met, the UPS may be started.
9.2.1Startup Procedure
To start the UPS from a fully powered-down condition:
1. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main input circuit breakers.
WARNING
!
During this procedure the output terminals will become live.
If any load equipment is connected to the UPS output terminals, please check with the load
user and ascertain whether it is safe to apply power to the load. If the load is not ready to
receive power, then ensure that it is safely isolated from the UPS output terminals.
2. Close CB1, CB2 and CB3 (CB5 is open).
The main input contactor closes automatically and the LCD begins to show start-up
screens. The Rectifier indicator flashes green while the rectifier is starting up. It stops flashing
and becomes solid green about 30 seconds after the rectifier enters the normal operation state.
After initialization, the bypass SCR closes. Because the
output circuit breaker is still open, the UPS channels
power through the Maintenance Bypass Supply line
(CB3). The bypass indicator extinguishes, provided that
the bypass is normal.
The opening display is shown in the figure at right.
The UPS Mimic display indicators will be:

3. Close CB5 (CB1, CB2, CB3 and CB5 are closed).
The Maintenance Bypass supply is now in parallel with the UPS Static Switch supply.
4. Verify that the Bypass indicator is Green, then open CB3.
The UPS powers from static bypass instead of from maintenance bypass. The bypass and load
indicators turn on. The design of the hardware and software ensures uninterrupted output.
5. Close external battery circuit breaker.
After the UPS detects that the battery is connected, the red battery indicator extinguishes
moments after the battery charger starts operation.
The UPS Mimic display indicators will be

9.2.2Verify Switching Between Operation Modes
Switch from Normal Mode to Battery Mode
• Open CB1 to enter battery mode. This breaks the utility connection to the Liebert NX.
To return to normal mode, close CB1 after a few seconds. The rectifier will restart automatically
after 10 seconds and resume feeding power to the inverter.
Switch from Normal Mode to Bypass Mode
• Press the INVERTER OFF button to switch to bypass mode.
Operating Instructions
NOTE
In bypass mode, the load is being powered by the utility and is not receiving conditioned power
through the inverter.
Switch from Bypass Mode to Normal Mode
• In bypass mode, press the INVERTER ON button. When the inverter is ready, the UPS will
switch to normal mode.
73
9.3Maintenance Bypass Procedure and Powering Down the UPS
Follow the procedure below to transfer the load from the inverter output to the Maintenance Bypass
line of the UPS.
CAUTION
!
Before performing this operation, read the messages on the LCD to be sure that bypass supply
is regular and the inverter is synchronous with it. If those conditions are not present, there is
a risk of a short interruption in powering the load.
This procedure assumes that the UPS is operating normally.
1. Press the INVERTER OFF button on the operator control panel for longer than 2 seconds.
The Inverter indicator will turn off and the status indicator will turn amber and an audible alarm
will sound. The load will transfer to static bypass and the inverter will shut off.
NOTE
Pressing the Alarm Silence Switch cancels the audible alarm, but leaves the warning message
displayed until the relevant condition is rectified.
2. Close maintenance breaker CB3.
The Maintenance Bypass supply is now in parallel with the UPS Static Switch supply.
3. Open output breaker CB5. This ends the bypass procedure. The load is now powered directly from
the Maintenance Bypass supply.
4. Press the EPO (Emergency Power Off) button at the UPS front panel of this UPS module only.
This will disable further Rectifier, Inverter, Static Switch and Battery operation. This will not
affect the manual maintenance bypass power switch. If a Liebert NX battery cabinet is connected,
the battery circuit breaker will shunt trip open.
5. Open the rectifier switch CB1 and bypass breaker CB2.
All operator indicators and messages will turn off as the utility-driven internal power supplies
decay. The unit will power down, but the load will continue to be supplied by the manual Maintenance bypass.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
!
Wait 5 minutes for the internal DC busbar capacitors to discharge before attempting
to remove the internal protective barriers.
WARNING
!
Even with the UPS in maintenance bypass and “Off,” portions of the unit are still energized.
Service is to be performed by qualified personnel only.
CAUTION
!
The load equipment is not protected from normal supply aberrations when operating in
maintenance bypass mode.
6. To return unit to normal operation, follow the steps in 9.2.1 - Startup Procedure.
74
9.4Auto Restart
When the main and bypass sources fail, the UPS draws power from the battery system to supply the
load until the batteries are depleted. When the UPS reaches its end of discharge (EOD) threshold, it
will shut down.
The UPS will automatically restart and enable output power:
• after utility power is restored
• if “Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling” is enabled
• after the “Auto Recovery after EOD Delay Time” expires (the default delay is 10 minutes)
During the auto recovery delay, the Liebert NX will be charging its batteries to provide a safety
margin for equipment shutdown if input power fails again.
If the “Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling” feature is disabled, the user must restart the system manually.
9.5Emergency Shutdown With EPO
This circuit has been designed to switch off the UPS in emergency conditions (i.e., fire, flood, etc.). The
system will turn off the rectifier and inverter and will stop powering the load immediately (including
the inverter and bypass), and the battery stops charging or discharging. If a Liebert NX battery cabinet is connected, the circuit breaker in the battery cabinet will shunt trip open.
If input utility power is present, the UPS’s controls will remain active; however, the output will be
turned off. To remove all power from the UPS, open the external feeder breaker.
Operating Instructions
9.6Reset After Shutdown for Emergency Stop (EPO Action) or Other Conditions
Once all appropriate measures have been taken to correct the problem indicated by the alarm message appearing on the operator control panel display, carry out this procedure to restore the UPS to
regular operation following an EPO action or for the following reasons: Inverter Overtemperature,
Cut-off Overload, Battery Overvoltage, excessive switching (BYP: XFER COUNT BLOCK), etc.
When the user confirms that the fault is cleared:
1. Press the FAULT CLEAR button to let the system exit the emergency-off state.
NOTE
The rectifier will start again, and the bypass will begin to power the load. The Rectifier
indicator flashes while the rectifier is starting up. When the rectifier enters the normal
operation state (about 30 seconds), the rectifier indicator turns green.
2. Press the INVERTER ON button on the right side of the operator control panel for longer than
2 seconds.
NOTE
The rectifier will automatically turn on 5 minutes after the Inverter Overtemp alarm has
cleared.
After the EPO button is pressed, if the input utility is removed, the UPS will shut down completely.
When input utility is returned, if the Bypass input circuit breaker (CB2) and UPS output circuit
breaker (CB5) are closed, the UPS will start up on Bypass. There will be power at the output terminals of the UPS.
WARNING
!
If the internal maintenance bypass circuit breaker (CB3) is closed and input utility is present,
there will be power at the output terminals of the UPS.

9.7Battery Protection
9.7.1Battery Undervoltage Pre-Warning
Before the end of discharge, the Liebert NX displays a Low Battery pre-warning. After this pre-warning, the battery has the capacity for 5 minutes discharging with full load (default time). The Liebert
NX can be user-configured to display this warning from 3 to 60 minutes before end-of-discharge.
9.7.2Battery End-of-Discharge (EOD) Protection
If the battery voltage is lower than the end-of-discharge voltage, the battery converter will be shut
down.

No operator serviceable parts are located behind covers that require a tool for their removal.
Only qualified service personnel are authorized to remove such covers.
1. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main circuit breakers.
2. Open (or confirm disabled) maintenance bypass circuit breaker CB3.
3. Close Input breaker CB1.
The Rectifier indicator flashes on the UPS mimic panel during the startup of the rectifier and
becomes steady green once the rectifier reaches normal operation state after about 30 seconds.
4. Close external battery circuit breaker. This breaker is inside the battery cabinet or is otherwise
adjacent to the battery racks.
5. After the UPS detects the batteries, the red battery indicator extinguishes when the battery
charger starts operation.
6. Close bypass circuit breaker CB2.
7. Press the INVERTER ON control button for 2 seconds.
The inverter will start up and the inverter indicator flashes while it synchronizes to the load volt-
age and frequency. After the inverter is ready, the UPS connects to the load, the inverter indicator
becomes steady green and the output indicator turns green.
8. Check that no “Warning” message is displayed in the top right corner of the LCD and that the
indicators have the status shown below.

9.8.3Shutdown Procedure—Complete UPS and Load Shutdown
This procedure must be followed to completely power down the UPS and the load. All power switches,
isolators and circuit breakers will be opened and power will be removed from the load.
In multi-module systems, perform each step of the procedure in every UPS module before proceeding
to the next step.
CAUTION
!
This procedure will shut off power to the load.
NOTE
Before beginning this procedure, shut down the connected load to prevent the possibility of
damage.
1. Press the EPO (Emergency Power Off) button at the UPS front panel only. This will disable
Rectifier, Inverter, Static Switch and Battery operation. The load will be de-energized.
CAUTION
!
Except in an emergency situation, do not press any remote EPO button
2. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main circuit breakers.
3. Open the Rectifier input circuit breaker CB1.
4. Open external battery circuit breaker. This breaker is inside the battery cabinet or is otherwise
adjacent to the battery racks.
5. Open Output circuit breaker CB5.
6. Open bypass input circuit breaker CB2.
7. Ensure maintenance bypass circuit breaker CB3 is open.
8. All mimic panel LED indications and messages will extinguish as the mains-driven, internal
power supplies decay.
9. To completely isolate the UPS from the AC supplies, the main external power input isolator (both
isolators, where dual supplies are provided for rectifier and bypass) and external output isolator
must be opened and tagged with warning labels accordingly.
Operating Instructions
9.9Commissioning a Parallel System
CAUTION
!
The operations described in this section must be performed by authorized electricians or
qualified technical personnel. If you have any difficulty, call 1-800-LIEBERT for assistance.
Check the input and output wiring of each UPS module. Ensure that the phase rotation sequence of
the main inputs and the bypass inputs and outputs of each UPS module are the same. Ensure that
the parallel cables are connected firmly.
It is assumed that the installation is complete, the system has been commissioned by authorized personnel and the external power isolators are closed. Disconnect the load before startup.
79
9.10Parallel System Start Up
1. Start each UPS normally as described in 9.2 - UPS Startup
2. Turn on the inverter of each UPS module one at a time.
3. Apply the load after the last UPS module transfers to inverter. The total load can be determined
through the LCD of either UPS.
4. Verify the load rate of each UPS module. If the load rates are roughly the same, then the parallel
system may be assumed to be operating normally.
NOTE
If one module cannot transfer to inverter mode long after its inverter is on, its output
connection may not be good or its output phase rotation may not be coincident with other
modules. At this time, the LCD for the UPS module will display “inverter asynchronous” and
the inverter indicator will flash continuously. If either UPS module makes abnormal noise
after it transfers to inverter, its parallel cables may be incorrectly connected.
