Liebert®STS2 Static Transfer Switch2
The Cornerstone of High-Availability Power Systems

The Power to Protect Your Critical Operations
For maximum availability applications, the Liebert Static
Transfer Switch2 (STS2) provides an automatic, seamless
transfer between your critical load and the outputs of two
independent UPS systems in a dual-bus power configuration.
If the primary UPS should fail, the switch will automatically
transfer the loads to the alternate UPS.
Liebert is the market leader in dual-bus power systems,
building the world’s most reliable UPS and Static Transfer
Switch products. Liebert STS2 further extends our
market leadership with design benefits unmatched by
competitive products.

True Front-Access Design
All mechanical and electronic components of the Liebert
STS2 are accessible from the front of the unit for
installation and service—no side or rear access required.
This gives you several immediate benefits:
Greater freedom in system design. The Liebert STS2
can be placed adjacent to or in back of other
equipment. It can also be placed against a wall or
partition.
Simplified installation, with ample space for cable
connections through top and bottom access plates.
Less floor space required for maintenance access.
Designed for maintainability, with all key components
visible and accessible from the front of the unit,
without shutting down the connected load.
True Internal Redundancy
The Liebert STS2 has tripleredundant logic. Each DSP
controller is capable of working
independently, and each helps
monitor the other two. If one
malfunctions, the other two lock it
out. Each controller has power
feeds from both power supplies.
A separate compartment
for option modules
provides safe and
c
onvenient field access.
