1.0 INSTALLATION

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
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 NX utilizes the latest in high-frequency, double-conversion pulse width modulation (PWM) tech­nology and fully digital controls to enhance its reliability and increase the ease of use.

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.

WARNING

!

Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with this equipment.
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 10.2 - 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 10.2 - 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 26 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 26 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 26 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 6.0 - 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 6.0 - 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 30 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 27, 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 27, 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 27, with respect to the unit rating.

Electrical Connections

NOTE

Table 27 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 27.

Lug Size and Torque Requirements

Refer to Table 33 for lug size and torque requirements.

9

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).

Figure 2 Single module block diagram—dual input configuration

Electrical Connections

2.1.3 Cabling Guidelines

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. 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 10.4 - 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 27. For terminal connection sizing, see Table 27.

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.

10

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 10.4 - UPS Elec-

trical Characteristics and Table 29 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 27.

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 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.

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

3.0 BATTERY INSTALLATION

3.1 Introduction

Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets match the internal batteries in the NX in
manufacturer and type.

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 approve batteries.

NOTE

The NX, as shipped, has 24 12-volt batteries installed internally in each unit.

3.2 Safety

Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with the NX system equip­ment. When all batteries are connected together, the battery terminal voltage may exceed 324V and is
POTENTIALLY LETHAL.

Battery Installation

WARNING

!

The 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 internal batteries
before any maintenance is performed on the unit.

The center of the battery is connected to the neutral of the UPS and is grounded.
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.

3.3 UPS Batteries

The NX's internal batteries are fully charged before the unit is shipped. During storage and transpor­tation, some charge is lost. All batteries should be recharged before use. The battery charger works
only when the NX is connected to input power and turned On.

NOTE

Full safety instructions concerning the use and maintenance of UPS batteries are provided in
the appropriate battery manufacturer's manuals, available on the manufacturer's Web site.

The battery safety information contained in this section relates to key considerations that must
be taken into account during the installation design process and might affect the design
outcome, depending on your installation.

19

3.4 External Battery Cabinet Installation

3.4.1 Matching Battery Cabinets

Two sizes of optional battery cabinets are available. Refer to Figures 13 and 14. 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.

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.

The following notes, in conjunction with the diagrams (Figure 13 through 12), illustrate the broad
principles to be followed when fitting and connecting the majority of battery cabinet installations.

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 27 for sizing of protection devices.

Battery Installation

NOTE

When using an external battery supply that is not provided with the UPS, please make
reference to the battery manufacturer’s installation manual for battery installation and
maintenance instructions, available on the manufacturer’s Web site. When replacing batteries,
Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets be the same type used internally in
the NX. See Table 28 for a list of batteries that are approved for use with this product.

3.4.2 Connecting the Batteries

If the 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 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 may be used.

3.4.3 Installation Considerations

Position—Liebert battery cabinets come in versions specific to either the left or right side of the
UPS. Control wires and power cables are cut to different lengths for the different versions. If the sys­tem includes a matching maintenance bypass cabinet (MBC), the MBC should be mounted to the left
of the UPS (nearest the busbars) and the battery cabinet(s) should be installed to the right of the
UPS. Otherwise, left-side 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 39 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. Refer to Figure 15.

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 16 for details.

3.4.4 Connecting 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 36.)

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 left side panel to gain access to the equipment ground busbar.

3. Remove the external battery terminal block plate on the lower left side of the UPS behind the
front door.

4. Remove the battery cabinet front panel to gain access to the connection bars.

5. 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 and neutral bonding arrangement must be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.

6. Connect the system battery cables from the UPS battery terminals (+ N -) to battery cabinet BCB
(+ N -) as shown in Figure 36. 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.

7. Connect supplied auxiliary control cable to pins J10.2 and J10.3 on the U2 monitoring board (see

2.3 - Dry Contacts). Add a jumper wire between J10.3 and J10.4.

Battery Installation

3.5 Non-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.

Maintenance Bypass Cabinet

4.0 MAINTENANCE BYPASS CABINET

The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is designed to operate in UPS mode, bypass mode and maintenance
mode. The mode is selected using the Bypass Switch.

Figure 17 Single UPS with external Maintenance Bypass Cabinet—typical configuration

4.1 Bypass Switch

The Bypass Switch allows easy and rapid transfer of connected loads between the UPS and Bypass
source.

4.2 Normal (UPS) Mode

While the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet rotary switch is in the NORMAL position, the UPS is supply­ing the connected load with continuous, high-quality AC power. In this mode of operation, the load is
protected by the UPS.

25

4.3 Bypass Mode

When the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is in the Bypass mode, it provides an alternate path for power
to the connected equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance
or repair, manual activation of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the
UPS inverter to the bypass source. In this mode, power will still be supplied to the UPS; however, the
load is NOT protected by the UPS.

4.4 Maintenance Mode

When the maintenance bypass cabinet is in the Maintenance mode, it provides an alternate path for
power to the connected equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited mainte­nance or repair. In this mode of operation, no power is supplied to the UPS and the load is NOT pro­tected by the UPS.

4.5 Locating the Cabinet

This Maintenance Bypass Cabinet may be mounted to the left of the UPS or installed as a stand-alone
unit. In either case, ensure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area and that there is clearance for
access to the switches and cable connections as required by national and local codes.

4.6 Cable Installation

4.6.1 Wiring Preparation

UPS side or from the MBS side, whichever is more convenient.

29

5.0 OPTION INSTALLATIONS

5.1 Load 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.

5.1.1 Performance Requirements

The DBS 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

5.1.2 DBS Cable and Settings

For NX-to-NX dual bus configuration, only one optional LBS cable is required, the built-in LBS will
operate normally without 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 NX, above and left of the power electronics; see
Figure 32.

Option Installations

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 Figure 21.

5.2 Configuring Parallel System Operation

5.2.1 General

The NX uses intelligent and reliable decentralized technology to achieve parallel operation of two or
more modules of the same rating.

The 1+N 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 reparations with­out affecting the ordinary operating conditions of the system (depending on the redundancy level).

Option Installations

31

5.2.2 Features of Parallel System

• The hardware and firmware for parallel UPS module operation is standard in the 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.

5.2.3 Operating Principles

Redundancy Paralleling

The 1+N 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.

5.2.4 Operation Modes Summary

The parallel system also has operation modes such as normal, battery, bypass and maintenance
bypass. All UPS modules in the 1+N 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.

Option Installations

5.3 Installing 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.

5.3.1 Conditions for Parallel System

• Each UPS module should have the same rating, the same firmware and hardware version.

• 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 23).

5.3.2 Cabinet Installation

Parallel system composed of two or more UPS modules using parallel cabinet

The UPS modules that will form the 1+N 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.

5.3.3 Preliminary Checks

Each UPS module should have the same rating, the same firmware and the same hardware version.
Refer to the instructions in 5.3.1 - Conditions for Parallel System.

5.3.4 Protective Devices

For each UPS, refer to Table 27. For each system, refer to Table 37.

33

5.3.5 Power Cables

Wiring of power cables is similar to that of 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 will be supplied by customer. Power cables to the UPS’s of the 1+N paralleling cabinet
must be routed through either the top or bottom entry access of the UPS.

For systems using a parallel cabinet, see Figures 38 and 40 through 42 for power cable terminations.

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.

5.3.6 Parallel Control Cables

Parallel System Control Cables

Make the connections listed below on the parallel logic board (M3) inside the NX. (See Figure 32 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 23).

See Figure 25 for dry contacts control cable wiring diagram.

5.4 Battery Circuit Breaker Box

The box contains the same battery isolating circuit breaker as mounted in the battery cabinet.

Two battery circuit breaker boxes are available for use in installations where the battery is not
installed in the battery cabinet, in which case the appropriate battery box is fitted as close as possible
to the battery and connected to the UPS equipment as illustrated in Figure 27.

The battery circuit breaker box, is required to protect the battery from overcurrents. It also provides
electrical isolation between the UPS and the battery, permitting technical service personnel to reduce
the risks involved in maintenance work to a minimum.

A separate safety earth must be connected between the UPS unit and circuit breaker box.

Two boxes are available depending on the UPS power rating.

5.5 Battery Start

With this option, the NX UPS can be started with power supplied only by the batteries (at charged
condition). This type of start, in the absence of utility power, allows independent utilization of battery
power and provides for higher availability in some circumstances.

CAUTION

!

Before attempting to start the UPS without utility power present, ensure that the batteries
are fully charged—over 2.1V per cell—and will supply adequate run time to the load.

5.6 Remote Alarm Monitor

Status and alarm conditions are available on an optional remote alarm monitor (RAM) panel which is
driven by voltfree alarm status contacts (from an optional relay alarm board).

5.7 Analog Input Interface

At the X6 slot, there are two analog signal channels. Input range is from 0 to +5V, and the precision is
2 percent. “ENV-T” is used for environment temperature detecting.

5.8 Power Output

The X5 slot can provide power for a modem or an external SNMP card. Available voltage is from 9V to
12V. The maximum current is 500mA.

Option Installations

5.9 Intellislot™ Communication

The NX has three Intellislot ports to allow field-installation of optional communication cards. Intellis­lot cards communicate via Liebert’s proprietary ESP2 protocol to cards that translate the information
into such protocols as SNMP, IGMnet, Modbus or Jbus. Other cards provide dry contact signals for
external signaling of operating status.

The Intellislot communication ports may be installed or removed while the NX is operating..

38

5.10 OC Web Card—SNMP/HTTP Network Interface Card

This network interface card provides all real-time data and status information as SNMPv1 traps for
connection to a 10/100-baseT Ethernet connection. The same card also will transmit the same status
information and all measured parameters for display via a Web browser.

7.0 OPERATION

7.1 General Description

The standard NX consists of the UPS and internal batteries in a compact, single cabinet.

As shown in Figure 45, 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 45 Single module block diagram (dual input configuration)

Operation

7.2 Bypass Supplies

The circuit block labeled “Static Switch” and “Contactor” in Figure 45 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
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
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.

7.3 Operating Modes

The UPS is designed to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer system in the fol­lowing modes:

58

Operation

Normal Mode

Operating in normal mode, the 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 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 NX automatically shifts back to Normal mode, with
the rectifier powering the critical load.

Bypass Mode

When the NX is in bypass mode, the load is directly supported by utility power and is without battery
backup protection.

The NX’s static transfer 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 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 15ms (in 50Hz), or less than 13.33ms (in 60Hz). This interruption time may be
altered by modifying the Output transfer interrupt time setting.

Maintenance Mode

For maintenance or repair, the NX may be operated in maintenance mode. To place the NX in mainte­nance mode, the load must be transferred to bypass and the inverter must be turned off. When those
conditions are met, the rotary switch may be turned to MAINT 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 1+N parallel.

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 40Hz to 70Hz. 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).

9.2 UPS Start Up

The NX must be fully installed and commissioned before start up, and external power isolators must
be closed. Once those general conditions are met, the UPS may be started.

9.2.1 Start-Up Procedure

To start the UPS from a fully powered-down condition:

1. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main power switches.

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.

CAUTION

!

Do not operate the rotary switch too fast. Always wait at least three seconds when rotating
the switch from one position to another.

2. Turn the rotary switch to TEST.

3. Close CB1.
The bypass contactor (M2) 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 static switch closes.

Because output switch SW1-A is still open, the UPS
channels power through Maintenance Bypass Supply
line (SW1-D). 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:

• In bypass mode, press the INVERTER ON button. When the inverter is ready, the UPS will
switch to normal mode.

76

9.3 Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance Bypass

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 UPS is operating normally.

1. Press the INVERTER OFF button on the right side of the operator control panel for longer than
2 seconds.

The Inverter indicator will turn off and the status indicator (6) 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 appropriate condition is rectified.

2. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main power switches, SW1 and CB1.

3. Turn the rotary switch to BYPASS position. The UPS Bypass Static Switch still supply power to
load.

4. Turn the rotary switch to TEST. The load is now on maintenance bypass.

5. Turn the rotary switch to MAINT.

6. Open rectifier switch CB1. 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 the
maintenance bypass mode.

9.4 Powering Down the UPS

To power down the UPS completely, follow the procedures in 9.3 - Switching the UPS from Nor­mal to Maintenance Bypass.

To completely isolate the UPS from the AC supplies, the main external power input isolator (both iso­lators, where separate supplies are provided for rectifier and bypass) should be opened (see

Figure 59).

WARNING

!

To prevent injury to personnel, lockout or tagout the service supplies.

77

9.5 Powering Down the UPS and Maintaining Power to Load

NOTE

An external Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be installed before attempting to perform the
following procedure.

If the UPS needs to be shut down completely while maintaining power to the load, follow these steps:

1. Perform Steps 1 through 5 in 9.3 - Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance
Bypass.

2. Close the external maintenance bypass rotary switch to Maint postion.
On the primary input distribution panel, which is often located distant from the UPS area, a label

should be posted advising service personnel that the UPS circuit is under maintenance.

WARNING

!

Wait 5 minutes for the internal DC busbar capacitors to discharge.

The UPS is now completely powered down.

NOTE

The Maintenance Bypass Power switch may be operated at any time while the UPS is powered
down to connect the load to the maintenance bypass supply if required.

Operating Instructions

The procedure can be performed only after the installation has been completed (which includes the
maintenance bypass cabinet), after the system has been placed in operation by authorized personnel.
See the reference drawing of Figure 59 for more information.

Figure 59 Typical configuration for single UPS with external maintenance bypass cabinet

78

9.6 Emergency 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, inverter and stop powering the load immediately (including the
inverter and bypass), and the battery stops charging or discharging.

If the input utility is present, the UPS’s controls will remain active; however, the output will be
turned off. To remove all power from the UPS, the external feeder breaker should be opened.

9.7 Auto 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 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.

Operating Instructions

9.8 Reset 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:

A UPS manufactured before March 2006 may first require a full power down, i.e., manual
opening of the input breakers, for the "Fault Clear" to take effect.

NOTE

The rectifier will start again, the battery contactor will close and the bypass will begin to power
the load. The Rectifier indicator (1) 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 (10) on the right side of the operator control panel for longer
than 2 seconds.

NOTE

The rectifier will be turned on automatically when the overtemperature fault disappears at
5 minutes after the disappearance of overtemperature signals.

After the EPO button is pressed, if the input utility is removed, theUPS will shut down completely.
When input utility is returned, if the rotary switch (SW1) is in either Bypass or in Normal position,
the UPS will start up on Bypass. There will be power at the output terminals of the UPS.

WARNING

!

If the rotary switch is in the Maint. position and input utility is present, there will be power at
the output terminals of the UPS.

79

9.9 Battery Protection

9.9.1 Battery Undervoltage Pre-Warning

Before the end of discharge, the NX displays a battery undervoltage pre-warning. After this pre-warn­ing, the battery has the capacity for 5 minutes discharging with full load (default time). The NX can
be user-configured to display this warning from 3 to 60 minutes before end-of-discharge.

9.9.2 Battery End-of-Discharge (EOD) Protection

If the battery voltage is lower than the end-of-discharge voltage, the battery converter will be shut
down.

9.9.3 Battery Fuse-Blow Warning

Battery current protection is provided by the battery fuses FU7 and FU8. If a battery fuse blows, the
NX displays the battery fuse-blow warning and the battery converter will be shut down.

will switch to bypass mode.

The connected equipment is now powered from the bypass source and is NOT protected.

2. To isolate the UPS from the system, rotate the bypass switch to the maintenance position.

9.15.4 Transfer the System from Maintenance Bypass to UPS Operation

1. Turn the bypass switch (SW) to the Normal position on the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet. The
UPS will go to bypass mode.

2. Press the “Inverter On” button on the UPS and allow the UPS to go to normal mode.

3. The connected equipment is now powered and protected by the UPS.

9.15.5 Transfer the System from UPS Operation to Maintenance Bypass

If the UPS needs to be shut down completely while maintaining power to the load, follow these steps:

1. Perform Steps 1 through 5 in 9.3 - Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance
Bypass.

2. Rotate Maintenance Bypass Switch to Maintenance position.

3. Post a label on the primary input distribution panel, which often is installed outside the UPS
area, advising personnel that the UPS circuit is under maintenance.

The UPS is now completely powered down.

WARNING

!

Wait 5 minutes for the internal DC busbar capacitors to discharge.

NOTE

The Maintenance Bypass power switch may be operated at any time while the UPS is powered
down to connect the load to the maintenance bypass supply.

Operating Instructions

The procedure can be performed only after the installation has been completed (which includes the
maintenance bypass cabinet), after the system has been placed in operation by authorized personnel
and after the external power switches have been closed. See Figure 60 for more information.

9.16 Parallel System Start Up

1. Start each UPS normally as described in 9.2 - UPS Start Up

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.

9.17 Replacing Dust Filters

1. Open the UPS door.

2. The dust filters are behind the door. For each filter, there is a bracket on either side holding the
dust filter in place, as shown in Figure 61.

3. Remove one bracket and loosen the other. The second bracket need not be removed.

4. Remove the old filter and replace with the new filter

5. Reinstall the bracket that was removed and tighten the other bracket.
