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)

4.3.2Connecting the Analog Ground
The Universal Monitor features an analog ground
connection for four-wire sensors that have an
external power source. Such a four-wire sensor
requires a reference to ground because they get
power from an external power source.
A two-wire transducer, which does not have an
external power source, does not need to be connected to the analog ground.
The analog ground connector has two terminals,
each of which can accommodate two wires. This is
adequate to connect four sensors that require a
reference to ground because they get power from
an external power source.
Connect the analog ground to an external fourwire sensor as shown in the illustration at right.

5.2Connecting Inputs and Outputs
The Universal Monitor’s optional Expansion Board permits the addition of 16 input and eight output
devices. This section describes how to connect devices to the Expansion Board’s inputs and outputs.
To determine the proper wire size, see Table 9.
NOTE
Each terminal block is a removable assembly to permit easier connection of more than one
input at a time. If making multiple connections, grasp the upper portion of a block and pull
firmly until the assembly pulls apart.
After making the connections, push the removed piece back into the portion attached to the
printed wiring assembly until the terminal block pieces lock together.
5.2.1Connecting Digital Inputs
The 16 digital inputs are found on the lower portion of the Expansion Board, as shown below. These
inputs are numbered 9 through 24 (the Universal Monitor’s digital inputs are numbered 1 through 8).

CAUTION
!
The Expansion Board is designed for use on properly grounded (earthed) 24VAC Class 2
power, 50Hz or 60Hz. The ground wire for the power lead must be wired to the earth ground
terminal (stud located next to the 24VAC terminal block). This equipment is intended to be
installed by a qualified and certified electrician who must review and approve customersupplied wiring and circuit breakers, verify correct input and grounded (earthed) connections
to ensure compliance with technical standards and national and local electrical codes.
Segregate and install separate electrical conduits for non-class 2 circuits in accordance with
local building codes.
Each output may be wired according to whether you want the output to be Normally Open or Normally Closed. The Expansion Board outputs are Form C relay contacts, each with three terminals.
There are two ways to wire the outputs, as shown in Figure 11.
• One wire of the two-wire connection should always be connected to the middle terminal.
• The second wire may be connected to either the N.C. terminal or the N.O. terminal, depending on
how whether you want the contact to be closed or open during a power failure:
• Connect to the N.C. terminal if you want the path to be CLOSED during a power failure, or
• Connect to the N.O. terminal if you want the path to be OPEN during a power failure.
Your choice for wiring the output contacts also determines how to set the fail-safe DIP switches for
proper operation (see 5.2.3 - Setting the Digital Output DIP Switches).

5.2.3Setting the Digital Output DIP Switches
Each digital output on the optional Expansion Board has an associated DIP switch that can determine its operation in the event of loss of communication with the Universal Monitor or loss of power.
When the Universal Monitor calls for an Expansion Board output to be ON, it sends a command to the
Expansion Board to turn the output to the ON state; this is signified by the output LED being ON.
The behavior of the output when it is ON is determined by the position of the DIP switch.
The DIP switches for the outputs are on a switch bank on the right side of the Expansion Board, as
shown below. Each switch corresponds to an output on the board in order from left to right—for example, DIP switch 1 corresponds to Output 9; DIP switch 2 corresponds to Output 10.

Tables 10 and 11 show how to set the DIP switch for each output based on how the output is wired
(see 5.2.2 - Connecting Digital Outputs) and how you want it to perform during normal operation,
when communication with the Universal Monitor is lost or when power fails.
NOTE
After a loss of communications with the Universal Monitor, there is a time delay—about five
minutes—before the Expansion Board changes the state of an output.

The Expansion Board comes from the factory with all digital output DIP switches in the OFF position
(normally open). The DIP switch setting for each digital output can be changed to ON (normally closed).
To change the state of any output to the factory default of NO (Normally Open) or to NC (Normally
Closed), move each switch to the appropriate position:
• Move the switch down to the OFF position for NO (Normally Open)—the default setting.
• Move the switch up to the ON position for NC (Normally Closed).

9.3.4Set Up Alarmable Inputs in Latched or Unlatched Mode
Alarmable input points may be set up in Latched mode (Y), which
requires the user to clear the Universal Monitor alarms after an alarm
has occurred, or Unlatched mode (N), in which alarms will automatically clear after a return-to-normal state. The default setting for
alarmable inputs is N (Unlatched). Any input defined as an event is
automatically Unlatched.
A digital input defined as Latched does not reset automatically after
an alarm. It will remain in the triggered position even after the moni-
tored device returns to normal. After an alarm, the user must manually reset Latched inputs, as described in 9.12.1 - Clear Active Alarms. This also means that any digital outputs linked to a Latched
digital input will remain triggered until the input is manually reset.
A digital input defined as Unlatched will automatically track the status of the monitored device. No action by the user is required.
• From the Setup Input Menu, choose Latched, as shown above
right, and press Enter ↵ .
• To change this feature, use the arrows
Latched) or N (No - Unlatched), then press Enter ↵ .

The only way to reset latched alarms is by clearing active alarms. This
step is required to return latched points to their normal state. For
details, see 9.12.1 - Clear Active Alarms.
9.3.5Set Up Delay Time
Each input may be set up with a specified time delay between the
occurrence of an alarm or event—a monitored device changes state—
and any response by the Universal Monitor. This feature can prevent
needless responses to transient conditions.
This delay is the amount of time that must elapse before the Universal
Monitor acknowledges the change of state in the monitored device and
takes any further action, such as dialing configured pagers. The
default time delay is 1 second (displayed as 00 MIN : 01 SEC).
The time delay applies only when a monitored device changes from its
normal state—for example, the Universal Monitor detects a closed
contact that is defined as Normally Open.
When the monitored device returns to its normal state, the Universal
Monitor acknowledges the change of state immediately.
• From the Setup Input Menu, choose Delay, as shown at right, and
press Enter ↵ .
• To change the time delay in minutes and seconds (in the range of 00:00 to 99:59):

9.4Setup System - Setup Common Alarm
The audible alarm sounds after the Universal Monitor detects an alarm condition in any input that
has been defined as alarmable, including digital and analog sensor inputs. Once the alarm is silenced,
there are two options:
• By default, the common alarm remains energized until the input alarm is cleared.
• You may change this setting to de-energize the common alarm automatically once the alarm is
silenced.
You might want to reset the common alarm with silence if an external alarm—for example, a horn—is

9.5.7Define Sensor as Alarmable or Event
Each sensor may be defined as Alarmable (AL) or as an Event (EV).
• For a sensor defined as alarmable, the following alarm reactions
occur when the high-setpoint threshold is crossed: the LCD flashes,
the audible horn sounds, configured pager numbers will be notified
and a record is entered in the Alarm Log.
• For a sensor defined as an event, the high-setpoint occurrence is
recorded in the Event Log.
By default, all sensors are set up as AL (Alarmable).
• From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Alarm/Event, as shown at
right, and press Enter ↵ .
• To change the type of sensor, use the arrows
↑↓ to choose
AL (Alarmable) or EV (Event), then press Enter ↵ .
9.5.8Set Up Alarmable Sensors in Latched or Unlatched Mode
Alarmable sensor points may be set up in Latched mode (Y), requiring
the user to clear the Universal Monitor alarms after an alarm has
occurred, or Unlatched mode (N), meaning that alarms will automatically clear after a return-to-normal state. The default setting for
alarmable sensors is N (Unlatched). Any sensor defined as an event is
automatically Unlatched.
A sensor defined as Latched does not reset automatically after an
alarm. It will remain in the triggered position even after the monitored
sensor returns to normal. After an alarm, the user must manually
reset Latched sensors, as described in 9.12.1 - Clear Active Alarms.
This also means that any digital outputs linked to a Latched sensor
will remain triggered until the sensor is manually reset.
A sensor defined as Unlatched will automatically track the status of
the monitored sensor. No action by the user is required.
• From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Latched, as shown at right,
and press Enter ↵ .
• To change this feature, use the arrows
Latched) or N (No - Unlatched), then press Enter ↵ .

9.5.9Change Low Setpoint
The Low Setpoint value is typically above the 4 mA value for the sensor. For example, if the 4 mA value is 50°F, the Low Setpoint might be
60°F. When the sensor crosses below this value, an alarm or event will
occur, depending on the sensor configuration.
The default Low Setpoint for each sensor is -950.0. Values that can be
entered range from:
• the 4 mA value + the Offset value (in the example, 50+5=55)
to
• the 20 mA value + the Offset value (in the example, 90+ 5 =95)
To determine these values, see 9.5.4 - Change 4 mA Value, 9.5.5 - Change 20 mA Value and 9.5.6 - Change Offset Value.

9.5.11 Set Up Delay Time
Each sensor may be set up with a specified time delay between the
triggering of a high or low setpoint—a monitored sensor crosses the
high or low setpoint threshold—and any response by the Universal
Monitor. This feature can prevent transient conditions from prompting
unnecessary responses.
This delay is the amount of time that must elapse before the Universal
Monitor acknowledges the change in the monitored sensor and takes
any further action, such as dialing configured pagers. The default time
delay is 1 second (displayed as 00 MIN : 01 SEC).
The time delay applies to the triggering of a high or low setpoint and
also after the monitored sensor returns to its normal state. When the
monitored device returns to its normal state, the specified time delay
must elapse before the Universal Monitor acknowledges the return-tonormal condition.
• From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Sensor Delay, as shown at
right, and press Enter ↵ .

9.8.3Pager Setup - Pager Number and PIN
The Universal Monitor may be configured to dial numeric or alphanumeric pagers when an alarm is
detected. You may enter up to four pager numbers—all configured pagers will be dialed each time an
alarm occurs. For each configured pager, you must enter the pager number to be dialed and the
pager’s Personal Identification Number (PIN).
See 10.1 - Universal Monitor Specifications for supported pager settings.
The Universal Monitor can send numeric or alphanumeric messages to supported pagers, as shown in
the following example:

The battery will continue to power and provide full operation of the Universal Monitor with the
exception of powering the analog inputs (sensors). The battery will provide backup for a
minimum of 10 minutes.
Using the following procedure to disconnect the battery will disable battery alarm features only. The
battery itself will continue to provide backup. If battery backup is not desired, the battery must be
unplugged from the circuit board. This can be done by removing the battery leads from the jumpers
(see 2.4.3 - Connecting the Battery Pack).

9.9.10 Initiate Remote Alarm Test (Service Terminal Interface only)
The service phone number is used for remote monitoring by Liebert Global Services. The Service Terminal Interface may be used to test communications between the Universal Monitor and the service
modem. This test will send a “DIAL OUT TEST PASSED” message to the service phone number.
The test is used to simulate an alarm to verify the proper configuration and functioning of the modem
and other communications required for receiving alarms. This simulated alarm bypasses the normal
alarm sequence—the LCD will not flash, the horn will not sound and there will be no record in the
Alarm Log. A message is sent to the service phone number only if the alarm system is set up correctly.
