Non NX series : Non NX product series comprises of Ul33, NXL, 80-net, and any other brand UPS

1.0 GENERAL
Load Bus Sync (LBS) Extender/Adapter for Dual Bus UPS is designed to extend the LBS function,
up to 150m (492 ft.) between NX series or APM series uninterruptible power system (UPS) modules of a
dual bus system (DBS). The adapter also enables an NX Series or APM UPS to synchronize with other
UPS models.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 NX Series or APM UPS to NX Series or APM UPS
WARNING
!
Installation by qualified electrical personnel only - hazardous voltage may be present at the
UPS output connectors.
1. Connect the power cables of the adapter to the Phase A, Neutral and Ground output of each UPS.
2. For NX Series UPS except for NXr, connect the LBS cable (with two DB9 ports) to COM1 of the LBS
Signal Adapter; for NXr UPS and APM UPS, connect the end of the LBS cable (with a DB9 port
and an RJ45 port) with DB9 port to COM1 of the LBS Signal Adapter.
3. For NX Series UPS except for NXr, connect the other end of the LBS cable (with two DB9 ports) to X4 on
the parallel board (UHW241M3) in the UPS; for NXr UPS and APM UPS, connect the end of the
LBS cable (with a DB9 port and an RJ45 port) with RJ45 port to the J4 port of the bypass module
of the UPS.
4. Connect the communication cable (up to 492 ft. [150m]) to the COM2 interface of each LBS Signal
Adapter.
5. The switch of both LBS signal adapters should be in the right position (see Figure 4).
