The Liebert Universal Monitor’s extensive capabilities can put it at the heart of your protective network. The Universal Monitor employs local alarming and remote paging services to keep personnel
on-site and at remote locations apprised of the status of equipment.
The panel can interface with any device that closes an electrical contact or has a 4-20 mA signal. To
improve process efficiency and troubleshooting, the panel tracks data in three types of logs: alarm,
event and trend. The Universal Monitor has a local LCD interface and a remote dial-up interface.
Further, the Universal Monitor can report ambient conditions that might adversely affect the facility
or equipment and also can report alarms and other events, as well as initiate responses to reduce or
prevent damage.
When an alarm condition arises, the Universal Monitor displays alarm information and sounds an
audible alarm; if configured, the panel also sends pager notifications and turns connected devices on
or off. See 1.11 - Typical Sequence for a more detailed example.
1.1Methods of Viewing and Configuring the Universal Monitor
The Universal Monitor features remote access through two interfaces that allow users to configure
the panel, silence alarms, back up logs, and perform many other functions to keep a large or small
operation running smoothly and safely.
• LCD—liquid crystal display on the front of the panel
• Service Terminal Interface—accessible via computer connected directly through an RS232
port or remotely through the Universal Monitor’s onboard modem
These interfaces permit easy access and configuration of the Universal Monitor, allowing users to
view data, silence alarms and have full access to information stored in the panel, including logs of
alarms and events.
One more interface—Liebert’s SiteScan Web enterprise monitoring system—is primarily for monitoring, though SiteScan also provides some configuration functions.
Introduction
1.2Data Logs
The three types of data logs—alarm history, event history and trend data of analog sensor readings—
can be viewed on the LCD on the front of the Universal Monitor and downloaded through onboard
communications ports.
1.3Optional Features
An optional Expansion Board, which can be purchased separately, allows you to connect an additional
16 digital inputs and eight digital outputs to the Universal Monitor.
An optional Transformer Module, available only in the large enclosure, converts 115VAC or 230VAC
to 24VAC.

2.0INSTALLATION - MAIN BOARD
This section provides instructions for installing, mounting and connecting power to the Universal
Monitor. For information on the optional Expansion Board, see 3.0 - Installation - Optional Expan-sion Board.
2.1Installation Considerations
The Universal Monitor must be installed indoors and may be mounted on the surface of a wall or
flush-mounted, depending on the user’s application, the location of equipment and sensors to be monitored and the type of wall the unit will be mounted on.
The Universal Monitor should be mounted where it can be easily accessed. On-site personnel would
access the unit through the LCD on its front cover, service terminal connected to the RS232 port or
through SiteScan. For off-site monitoring, the Universal Monitor should be placed near communications means such as a telephone line connection that would permit remote access.
In addition to the communications connections, the site also must have electrical service and must
permit connecting the unit’s eight digital inputs, eight digital outputs and four analog inputs.
The wall material must be capable of supporting the weight of the Universal Monitor: see 10.0 -
Specifications.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Installation - Main Board
2.1.1Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
• Before unpacking the Universal Monitor, inspect the shipping carton for damage or signs of
mishandling, such as gashes or holes in the carton or severely flattened corners.
• Open the shipping crates carefully. Use care to avoid puncturing the container with sharp objects
that might damage the contents.
• Inspect the Universal Monitor and all included components for damage.
• If any damage from shipping or mishandling is observed, immediately file a damage claim with
the shipping agency and forward a copy to:

2.2Surface-Mounting the Universal Monitor
NOTE
Removing the conduit knockouts before mounting the Universal Monitor on the wall will ease
installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove
the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted.
After determining where to place the unit, check to ensure that you have all the hardware required to
install the panel on the surface of a wall. Obtain the needed tools and material.
Required tools
• Electric drill (if surface is too hard to drive screws without pilot holes)
