1.2 Modes of Operation

Normal Mode

The Power Module rectifiers derive power from a utility AC source and supply regulated DC power to
the inverter. The module’s inverter regenerates precise AC power to supply the connected equipment.
The battery charger is in the Power Module and maintains a float-charge on the batteries.

Backup Mode

When AC utility fails, the connected equipment is supplied power by the inverter, which obtains
energy from the Battery Modules. The output power equipment will not be interrupted during the
failure or restoration of the AC utility source.

Auto Restart Mode

After a power outage and complete battery discharge, and once AC utility is restored, the UPS will
automatically restart and resume supplying power to connected equipment. This feature is enabled at
the factory, but can be disabled by the user. The user can also program two auto restart delay settings:
1. Battery capacity level (%)
2. Countdown timer

Bypass Mode

The bypass provides an alternate path for power to the connected equipment and operates in the fol-
lowing manner:
•Automatic
In the event of an internal fault or should the inverter overload capacity be exceeded, the UPS
performs an automatic transfer of the connected equipment from the inverter to the bypass
source.
Manual
Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance or repair, manual activa-
tion of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the inverter to the
bypass source.

1.3 Major Components

The following is a general description of each compo-
nent and its functions. Please review this section
carefully, as it will give you a better understanding as
to how the Nfinity operates.

1.3.1 Unit Frame

The front of the Nfinity consists of a series of plastic
bezels. By grasping these bezels from the left and
right sides and pulling straight out, you can remove
the bezel to reveal the Battery / Power Module bays.
The bottom bezel covers the internal cooling fans and
the manual bypass switch.
The User Interface Module is located above the
Power / Battery Module bays for easy access. By mov-
ing the User Interface and setting it on top of the
frame, you will see the system control module bays.

1.3.2 User Interface Module

The User Interface Module is the primary source of
communication between the UPS and the user. From
the interface, the user can:
View the status of the UPS
Custom configure the system
Review the event log to assist with
troubleshooting
Enable/disable the output power
Silence the audible alarm
Manually transfer the unit to bypass
For a more detailed explanation on how to operate the
User Interface Module, see 3.1 - Controls and Indi-
cators.

1.3.3 System Control Module

The System Control Module is the communications
backbone of the UPS. It gathers input from all mod-
ules and processes the data to control the operation of
the system — including monitoring the condition of
each module. An optional redundant System Control
Module can be installed to provide full system func-
tionality (operation and communication).
Under normal operation, the Status LED (green) will
blink and the Fault LED (yellow) will be off. For any
condition other than this, check 4.0 - Troubleshoot-
ing.
NOTE
In the figure at right, the Power Module and
Battery Module are extended for illustration
purposes only. Extending more than one
module at a time could cause the unit to be
top-heavy and/or tip.

1.3.4 Power Module

Each power module is an independent 4 kVA, 2.8kW unit, consisting of a power factor corrected recti-
fier, battery charger and inverter, with associated monitoring and control circuitry. The modules are
paralleled to provide greater capacity and/or redundancy. Modules may be added or replaced on-line
with no interruption or danger to the connected equipment.

1.3.5 Battery Module

Each battery module contains 10 individual 12-volt, 9 amp hour, valve-regulated (VRLA) battery
blocks with associated monitoring and controls to isolate the Battery Module in the event of a battery
failure. The modules are paralleled to provide greater capacity, backup time and/or redundancy. Mod-
ules may be added or replaced on-line with no interruption or danger to the connected equipment,
provided that the UPS is not operating on battery.
Under normal operation, the Green Status LED will blink continuously and the Yellow Fault LED
will be off. For any condition other than this, check 4.0 - Troubleshooting.
NOTE
Nfinity is shipped with each battery module secured to the frame by two shipping screws. These
screws should be removed prior to start-up.

2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 Inspection

Upon receiving the UPS, examine the packaging for any signs of mishandling or damage. If any dam-
age is noted, call your local dealer or Liebert representative and/or notify your carrier.

2.1.1 Environment

2.1.2 Required Setup Equipment

The tools below are required to properly set up your UPS:
Pallet jack
1/2" (13mm) ratchet or wrench
Torque wrench (in-lb)
Flathead screwdriver
#2 Phillips screwdriver

2.1.3 Site Preparation

When deciding where to locate your UPS,
consider the weight and size of the unit. Make
sure that the structural integrity of the floor
can withstand the weight of a fully loaded unit.
Check to make sure that your UPS will be
located in a well-ventilated area with at least
12 inches (305mm) behind it. The UPS is
air-cooled utilizing internal fans. Air is drawn
into the front of the UPS and is exhausted
through ventilation grilles in the back. It should
also have at least 36 inches (915mm) in front in
order to change modules when necessary.
The unit frame is bolted to the shipping pallet to ensure safety. It is recommended that a pallet jack
be used to transport the unit to its operating location (prior to unbolting the unit).
NOTE
Operating in temperatures above 77°F (25°C) will reduce battery life. The UPS environment
must be free of conductive contaminants and excessive moisture (water and condensation),
flammable vapors, chemical fumes, corrosive gases and liquids.
