Optional transformers are available to add 208V isolation or 480V or 600V input capability to
the Liebert® EXM™ in the optional Liebert BDC™ (Bypass Distribution Cabinet) and in the
optional Liebert® EXM™ Dual Transformer Cabinet.
The Liebert® EXM™ provides continuous, high-quality AC power to business-critical equipment,
such as telecommunications and data processing equipment. The Liebert® EXM™ supplies
power free of the disturbances and variations in voltage and frequency common to utility power,
which is subject to brownouts, blackouts, surges and sags.
The Liebert® EXM™ 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.
The 10-40kVA/kW Liebert® EXM™ includes internal batteries to support the load when utility
power is not present.
1.1 Operator Control and Display Panel

Information about using the UPS control panel is detailed in SL-26200, available at Vertiv’s Web
site, www.vertivco.com

2.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the Liebert® EXM™’s environmental requirements and mechanical
considerations that must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of
the UPS equipment.
Because each 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.
NOTICE
Risk of improper installation. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not apply electrical power to the UPS equipment before the commissioning engineer arrives at the
installation site.
The UPS must be installed by a properly trained and qualified engineer in accordance with the
information contained in this chapter. All the equipment not referred to in this manual is shipped with
details of its own mechanical and electrical installation information.
NOTE
Three-phase, four-wire input power is required.
NOTE
Input power must be supplied to the Liebert® EXM™ from a properly grounded Wye source. The
Liebert® EXM™ is not for use with impedance grounded systems, corner-grounded systems or
high-leg Delta systems. For these applications, an isolation transformer must be installed
between the input power and the Liebert® EXM™.
2.1 Initial Inspections

1. While the Liebert® EXM™ and ancillary cabinets are still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping
container 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 immediately and contact
Vertiv Services at 800-543-2378 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 Vertiv™ representative immediately.
3. Check the product label on the back of front door and confirm the contents match the UPS model,
capacity and main parameters that were ordered.
2.1.1 Storing the UPS and Batteries for Delayed Installation
If the Liebert® EXM™ system will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors in a
clean, dry and cool location (see 7.2 - UPS Environmental). If the UPS includes batteries, either
internally or in a battery cabinet, the batteries’ requirements will dictate the storage conditions.
Batteries should be unpacked, installed and charged as soon as possible after delivery.
NOTICE
Risk of failure to properly charge batteries. Can cause permanent damage to batteries and void the
warranty.
Batteries will self-discharge during storage. Batteries must be recharged as recommended by the battery
manufacturer.
A notice of “Charge Before Date” is affixed to each unit that has batteries inside. The “Charge Before
Date” is calculated based on the batteries being stored at 77°F (25°C). Storage at a higher temperature
will increase the rate of self-discharge, requiring earlier recharge. Consult the battery manufacturer on
how to determine when the batteries need to be recharged.

2.2 Preliminary Checks
2.2.1 Identification
The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the back of the main door listing the type
and size of the UPS.
2.3 UPS Location

2.3.1 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 life
2.3.2 Environmental Considerations
Before installing the Liebert® EXM™, verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental
conditions stipulated in 7.2 - 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 system performance and service life, maintain the operating temperature
within the range of 74-80°F, (23-27°C).
The Liebert® EXM™ is 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. The UPS requires 24 in.
(610mm) ventilation clearance above the unit.
See Table 20 for details on heat dissipation.
2.4 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.
2.5 Considerations in Moving the Liebert EXM

Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft2 or kg/cm2) of
any handling equipment. See Table 15 for weights of various units.

The Liebert® EXM™ may be rolled on its casters for short distances only. For longer distances,
move the UPS with a forklift or similar equipment to ease the relocation and to reduce vibration.
WARNING
Risk of moving heavy unit. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the Liebert® EXM™ has sufficient
lifting capacity. The Liebert EXM’s weight ranges from 809 to 956 lb. (367 to 434kg)
without batteries. Refer to Table 1 for the unit’s weight with batteries.
The UPS presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the Liebert® EXM™ more 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 Liebert® EXM™ off its shipping pallet.

AVERTISSEMENT
Le poids élevé de l'appareil peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et
même la mort.
Veillez à ce que les équipements utilisés pour déplacer le système EXM de Liebert
possèdent une capacité nominale suffisante. Le poids du système EXM de Liebert varie
entre 367 et 434 kg (809 et 956 lb) sans les batteries. Reportez-vous au Tableau 1 pour
connaître le poids de l'appareil avec les batteries.
Le système ASC présente un risque de renversement. N'inclinez pas le système EXM de

involontaires lorsque vous déboulonnez l'équipement de sa palette d'expédition. Veillez à
ce qu'un personnel approprié et un dispositif de levage soient disponibles lorsque vous
retirez le système EXM de Liebert de la palette d'expédition.
WARNING
Risk of heavy unit tipping over while being moved. Can cause property damage, injury and
death.
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.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le centre de gravité élevé de l'appareil présente un risque de renversement lors des
déplacements, peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort.
Les roulettes sont suffisamment résistantes pour le déplacement sur des surfaces planes
uniquement. Les roulettes peuvent être endommagées si vous les soumettez à des
impacts, notamment en cas de chute ou de passage sur des obstacles ou trous dans le
plancher. Une telle défaillance peut causer le renversement de l'appareil, qui risque de
blesser le personnel et d'endommager l'équipement.
Final Positioning
When the equipment has been finally positioned, ensure that the adjustable stops are set so
that the UPS will remain stationary and stable (see 4.0 - Installation Drawings).
The Liebert® EXM™ and its auxiliary cabinets must be installed on a concrete or equivalent, non-
resilient floor.
2.6 Mechanical Considerations
The Liebert® EXM™ 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
connection bars, auxiliary terminal blocks and power switches.
The UPS comes with an Operator Control Panel that provides basic operational status and
alarm information. The cabinet houses the power components. 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.
WARNING
Risk of heavy units tipping over while being moved. Can cause property damage, injury
and death.
Vertiv™ recommends lifting the units by installing four eyebolts in the factory-fabricated
holes, one at each corner of the unit, attaching cables or similar strapping to the eyebolts
and lifting with a suitable mechanism.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le centre de gravité élevé des appareils présente un risque de renversement lors des
déplacements, peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort.
Vertiv™ recommande de soulever les appareils en installant quatre anneaux de levage
dans les ouvertures fabriquées en usine, avec un anneau dans chaque coin de l'appareil,
pour ensuite fixer les câbles ou sangles aux anneaux afin d'effectuer le levage à l'aide d'un
mécanisme approprié.

3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS—UPS
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
Risk of electric shock. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Before connecting input power to the Liebert EXM, 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.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de décharge électrique pouvant entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures
et même la mort.
Avant de procéder au branchement de l'alimentation d'entrée du système EXM de Liebert,
veillez à prendre connaissance de l'emplacement et du fonctionnement des dispositifs de
protection de surintensité qui raccordent l'alimentation d'entrée ou de dérivation du
système ASC au panneau de distribution électrique.

3.1 Power Cabling
3.1.1 Lug Size and 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. Refer to
ANSI/NFPA 70.
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 16, 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 16, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.
• Battery cables—See the Liebert® EXM™ External Battery Cabinet manual, SL-25651, for battery installation
guidelines and instructions. The manual ships with the battery cabinet and is available at Vertiv’s Web site:
www.vertivco.com
NOTE
Table 16 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 16.
Torque Requirements
Refer to Tables 3 and 4 for lug size and torque requirements.

3.2 External Protective Devices

For safety concerns, it is necessary to install external circuit breakers or other protective
devices for the input AC supply of the UPS system. This section provides generic practical
information for qualified installation engineers. The installation engineers should be
knowledgeable about regulatory wiring standards and the equipment to be installed.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent
protection in accordance with NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.
3.2.1 Rectifier and Bypass Input Supply of the UPS
Overcurrents
Install suitable protective devices in the distribution unit of the incoming mains supply,
considering the power cable current-carrying capacity and overload capacity of the system.
Generally, the magnetic circuit breaker with IEC60947-2 tripping curve C (normal) at the 125%
of the nominal current listed in Table 16 is recommended.
Split bypass: In case a split bypass is used, separate protective devices should be installed for
the rectifier input and bypass input in the incoming mains distribution panel. A shunt trip coil of
120V must be installed in the bypass and rectifier input breakers if the system does not include
a Liebert Bypass Cabinet.
NOTE
The rectifier input and bypass input must use the same neutral line.
Earth Leakage, RCD Devices

Any residual current detector (RCD) installed upstream of the UPS input supply:
• Must be sensitive to DC unidirectional pulses (Class A)
• Must be insensitive to transient current pulses, and
• Must have an average sensitivity, adjustable between 0.3 and 1A.
To avoid false alarms, earth leakage monitoring devices when used in systems with split bypass
input or when used in paralleled UPS configurations, must be located upstream of the common
neutral sinking point. Alternatively, the device must monitor the combined four-wire rectifier and
split bypass input currents.
3.2.2 UPS Output
If an external distribution panel is used for load distribution, the selection of protective devices
must provide discrimination with those that are used at the input to the UPS (see Table 21).
3.2.3 UPS Input Configuration
By default, the Liebert® EXM™ ships with internal links installed between the bypass input and
main (rectifier) input (single input configuration).
Figures 7 and 8 show the Liebert® EXM™ in a split bypass (single source dual-input)
configuration. In this configuration, the static bypass and the maintenance bypass lines are

supplied by the same source using separate feeds. Both feeds must be protected externally with
properly sized protective devices.
To wire the Liebert® EXM™ as a single source dual-input UPS, remove the links and wire the
bypass feed to the bypass busbars, then wire the main feed to the main busbars (see Figure 10).

conductors.
3.2.5 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 7.3 - 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. Refer to SL-25651 for guidelines and instructions when sizing battery cables for optional external battery
cabinets.
5. In most installations, 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.
3.2.6 Cable Connections
The rectifier input, bypass, output and battery are easily accessible from the front of the unit for
installation. All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the front of the
Liebert® EXM™, as shown in Figure 10. These busbars are accessible when the I/O panel is
removed.
NOTICE
Risk of improper installation. Can cause equipment damage.
When wiring a single-input only system, connect only the power wiring to the input busbars.

3.2.7 Accessory Fuses and Back-Feed Breaker Wiring
Two fuse blocks provide power for the back-feed breakers (standard) and the Alber® BDSUi
(optional). The fuse blocks are at the lower right of the I/O panel on the front of the Liebert®
EXM™ UPS. See Figure 11 for fuse-holder locations.
The back-feed breaker fuse block provides 120V nominal provided from the UPS output (L-N)
and the fuse is rated for 8 amps. Figure 12 shows the back-feed breaker wiring, located on the
bypass static switch assembly.
The Liebert® EXM™ does not include internal back-feed protection. A shunt trip coil of 120V
must be installed in the bypass and rectifier input breakers if the system does not include a
Liebert Bypass Cabinet. This is a safety feature and will prevent the UPS inverter from back-
feeding the input source.

3.2.8 Safety Ground
The safety ground busbar is below the neutral input and output busbars as shown in Figure 13
below. The safety ground cable must be connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each
cabinet in the system. This ground busbar is then connected to the ground electrode conductor
(GEC).
All cabinets and cable conduit should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
Failure to follow adequate grounding procedures can result in electric shock hazard to
personnel, or the risk of fire, should a ground fault occur.

3.2.9 Protective Devices
For safety, it is necessary to install circuit breakers in the input AC supply 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 7.3 - UPS Electrical
Characteristics and Table 21 for recommended breaker ratings.
Overcurrent protection for the battery circuit must be provided by the customer when using an optional
External Battery Cabinet.
• Dual Input Single Source
When wiring the UPS with dual inputs but with a single input source, the Rectifier input and the Bypass input
must be protected separately. Size the breakers according to the input currents shown in Tables 16
through 19.
NOTE
For single or dual input, a 120V shunt trip coil(s) is required when a breaker is supplied by the
customer. See Figures 8 and 9 for details.
System Output
When using an external distribution panel for load distribution, the output neutral and input
neutral must be separated at the input to the UPS.

3.4.1 Input Dry Contacts
External input dry contacts are connected via the ATB. Dry contacts are available for
environment detection, battery ground fault detection, etc.
The UPS accepts external signal from zero-voltage (dry) contacts connected through external
dry contact terminals produced, and these terminals are on the static bypass assembly.
Through software programming, these signals become active when these contacts connect to
+12V to ground (in the most left side). The cables connected to the monitor board must be
separated from power cables. Moreover, these cables should be double-insulated with a typical
cross-section of 0.5 to 1mm2 for a maximum connection length between 82 and 165ft. (25-50m).
The ATB has several input dry contacts.

NOTICE
Risk of exceeding internal voltage limits. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not apply more than 12V to the Emergency Power Off (EPO) input. Exceeding 12V on this input can
damage the Liebert EXM’s internal circuitry and control boards. Exceeding 12V will also put the
Liebert EXM in an EPO state, and the unit will not reset, making it non-functional.
The UPS has an Emergency Power Off (EPO) function operated by a button on the control
panel or by a remote contact provided by the user. The EPO button is under a hinged, clear
plastic shield.
The J2 connector, in Figure 19, is the remote EPO input interface. The EPO has NO/NC
contacts that become active when shorting terminals J2: 3 and 4 or open terminal connection
J2:2 and 1.
If an external Emergency Stop capability is required, it is connected at terminals J2: 1 and 2 and
at J2: 3 and 4 on the monitor board. It also is connected to the Normally Open or Normally
Closed remote stop switch between these two terminals using shielded cable (see Figure 19
and Table 9). If this function is not used, terminals J2:3 and 4 must be opened and J2:1 and 2
must be closed.

The Liebert® EXM™ operates in the modes shown in 6.4 - Liebert® EXM™ Operating Modes.
This section describes various kinds of operating procedures under each operating mode,
including transfer between operating modes, UPS setting and procedures for turning on/off
inverter. As shown in SL-25656, the Liebert® EXM™ Battery Cabinet manual, the AC utility source
is supplied through the input breaker, and the rectifier converts the alternating current into DC
power. The inverter converts the AC power from the utility—or DC power from an optional
External Battery Cabinet—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 using the optional Liebert MBC.

6.1 Touchscreen Control Panel
The Liebert® EXM’s™ Touchscreen Control Panel is active whenever the UPS has input power.
The touchscreen LCD on the front of the UPS permits:
• Logging in to the system
• Customizing the user interface
• Checking the status of the UPS and its external batteries, including all measured parameters, events and
alarms
• Determining when users logged in and out
• Silencing alarms

26200, available at Vertiv’s Web site, www.vertivco.com for details.
6.4 Liebert® EXM™ Operating Modes

The UPS is designed to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer system in the
following modes:
• Load on Inverter Mode • Maintenance Mode (Manual
Bypass)
• Load on Battery Mode • Sleep Mode
• Auto-Restart Mode • Paralleling Mode

• ECO Mode • Output Voltage Adjustment
Mode
• Load on Bypass Mode • Generator Mode
• Module Redundancy
Mode
NOTE
1. The user controls and indicators referred to in these procedures are detailed in the UPS control panel
manual, SL-26200, available at Vertiv’s Web site, www.vertivco.com
2. The audible alarm may sound at various points during these procedures. It can be canceled at any time
by pressing the menu button (under any login), pressing Alarms and then pressing Alarms.
NOTE
This unit refers to some modes and conditions that are set or adjusted using proprietary service
software. To take advantage of all the available features for the Liebert EXM, the unit must be
commissioned by a Vertiv-authorized engineer.
Load on Inverter Mode

Operating in Mode, the Liebert EXM’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.

Module Redundancy Mode
When the Liebert® EXM™ is in module redundancy mode, the load percentage is calculated
using the available power module capacity or nameplate rating capacity, whichever capacity is
lower.
Module redundancy mode can be set at the factory or by the user. A maximum of one module
can be set for redundancy. Availability of this feature depends on module capacity of the frame.
Refer to the UPS control manual, SL-26200, for instructions on setting this feature. The manual
is available at Vertiv’s Web site, www.vertivco.com
Example 1
• Two 20 kVA power modules installed
• Nameplate rating capacity = 20 kVA
• One power module in redundant mode
• Configured capacity = 20kVA
• Load = 20kVA
Load percentage will be calculated based on nameplate rating capacity = 20kVA capacity. In the event of
a single power module fault, the system will signal a Loss of Redundancy Alarm and a Power Hardware
Mismatch and continue in double-conversion mode and provide up to 20kVA capacity.
Example 2
• Two 20kVA power modules installed
• Nameplate rating capacity = 40kVA
• Load = 20kVA
Load percentage will be calculated based on available power module capacity = 40kVA capacity. In the
event of a single power module fault, the system will signal a Loss of Redundancy Alarm and a Power
Hardware Mismatch Alarm. The system will continue in double-conversion mode and provide up to
20kVa capacity.
Example 3
• Two 20kVA power modules installed
• Nameplate rating capacity = 40kVA
• Load = 30kVA
Load percentage will be calculated based on available power module capacity = Loss of Redundancy Alarm.
The system will continue in double-conversion mode and provide up to 40kVA capacity.
Load on Battery Mode—Requires Optional External Battery Cabinet
When utility AC power fails, the Liebert® EXM™ protects the critical load by instantaneously
channeling battery power from optional External Battery Cabinets to the inverter, which
continues supporting the critical load without interruption. When utility power returns and is
within acceptable limits, the Liebert® EXM™ automatically shifts back to Load on Inverter Mode,
with the rectifier powering the critical load.
Auto-Restart Mode
The battery may become exhausted following an extended AC utility failure. The inverter shuts
down when the battery reaches the End of Discharge voltage (EOD). The UPS may be
programmed to “Auto Recovery after EOD” after a delay time if the AC utility recovers. This
mode and any delay time may be programmed by the commissioning engineer.

Load on Bypass Mode
When the Liebert® EXM™ load is supplied by the bypass, the load is directly supported by utility
power and is without battery backup protection.
The Liebert EXM’s static transfer switch will shift the load from the inverter to the bypass
without 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.
ECO Mode (Single-Module UPS System Only)

When ECO mode is selected, the Liebert® EXM™ switches inverter power from the UPS input to
the bypass input to save energy by improving UPS efficiency. In this mode, the bypass is the
preferred source. If the bypass voltage or frequency becomes outside preset limits, the UPS load
is transferred back to the inverter.
Maintenance Mode
For maintenance or repair, the Liebert® EXM™ may be operated in maintenance mode. To place
the Liebert® EXM™ in maintenance mode, follow the instructions in 6.6 - Switching the UPS
from Normal Operation to Maintenance Bypass.
WARNING
Risk of arc flash and electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death
The UPS input and output must be protected with external overcurrent protection
devices. In maintenance mode, the input and output busbars remain energized and
present an electric shock hazard.
AVERTISSEMENT

Output Voltage Adjustment

This feature allows a Liebert Customer Engineer to adjust the Liebert EXM’s output voltage over
a range of -5% to +5% of nominal. The output voltage adjustment can be used to compensate
for any drop in line voltage that may occur when the UPS is a significant distance from the
protected load. In addition, it can be used to optimize the UPS output voltage for loads that
operate more efficiently at a voltage different from the nominal Liebert® EXM™ output voltage.

Generator Mode
The Liebert® EXM™ UPS can be set up for operation in Generator Mode by a Vertiv Services
engineer. The setup requires connecting J26 Pin 2 to Pin 4.
6.5 UPS Startup

The Liebert® EXM™ must be fully installed and commissioned before startup, and external
power isolators must be closed. Once those general conditions are met, the UPS may be started.

g. Insert the key into the K0 and turn to lock the key in place. The critical load is now powered by the UPS
static switch.
5. Log in as Operator, Administrator or Service on UPS 1.
8. Repeat Steps 5, 6 and 7 on UPS 2.
9. Repeat Steps 5, 6 and 7 on UPS 3 and any other UPS in the system, if applicable.
10. Close all battery circuit breakers, if applicable.
13. Check the LCD’s on each UPS to verify that there are no alarms on any UPS.
The system is now online and supporting the load.
6.13 Emergency Shutdown With EPO

This circuit has been designed to switch Off the UPS in emergency conditions (e.g., 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.
6.14 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 in the UPS configuration (set by factory or by Vertiv
Services)
• after the “Auto Recovery after EOD Delay Time” expires (the default delay is 10 minutes)
During the auto recovery delay, the Liebert® EXM™ 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 system must be restarted
manually.

6.15 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, 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:
3. Touch the yellow Reset button to clear the Emergency Power Off state.
4. Press the Inverter On radio button on the right side of the Operator Control Panel for longer than
2 seconds (after the rectifier has qualified).
NOTE
The rectifier will start automatically 5 minutes after the of overtemperature fault is cleared.
After the EPO button is pressed, if the input utility is removed, the UPS will shut down
completely. When input utility is restored, the EPO condition will clear, and the UPS will enable
the static bypass and restore the output.
6.16 Battery Protection

6.16.1 Battery Undervoltage Warning
Before the end of discharge, the Liebert® EXM™ displays a low battery warning. After this
warning, the battery has the capacity for 5 minutes discharging with full load (default time). The
Liebert® EXM™ can be user-configured to display this warning from 3 to 60 minutes before end-
of-discharge.
6.16.2 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. Refer to Table 24.

6.17 Operation
WARNING
The Liebert® EXM™ contains high voltages internally. Components that can only be
accessed by opening the protective cover with tools cannot be serviced or replaced by
the user.
Only properly trained and qualified service personnel are authorized to remove the
protective covers.
AVERTISSEMENT
L’armoire Liebert® EXM™ contient des tensions élevées à l’interne. L’utilisateur ne peut ni
entretenir ni remplacer des composants accessibles uniquement en ouvrant le couvercle
de protection avec des outils.
Seul du personnel de service qualifié et dûment formé est autorisé à retirer les couvercles
de protection.
The Liebert® EXM™ operates in the modes shown in Table 13. This section describes various
kinds of operating procedures under each operating mode, including transfer between
operating modes, UPS setting and procedures for turning on/off inverter.
Table 13 UPS operating modes
Operating Mode Descriptions
Load on NORMA
UPS powers the load
Inverter L
The load power supply is provided by the static bypass. This mode can be regarded as a
Load on BYPAS
temporary transition mode between the Load on Inverter Mode and Load on Bypass Mode, or a
Bypass S
temporary abnormal operating status.
Maintenance UPS shuts down, the load is connects to the mains through the Liebert MBC. In this mode, the
MAINT
Mode load is not protected against input utility power fluctuations such as spikes, sags and failure.
As shown in SL-25656, the Liebert® EXM™ Battery Cabinet manual, the AC utility source is
supplied through the input breaker, and the rectifier converts the alternating current into DC
power. The inverter converts the AC power from the utility—or DC power from an optional
External Battery Cabinet—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 using the optional Liebert MBC.
6.18 Static Bypass Switch
The circuit block labeled “Static Bypass” 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.

WARNING
Risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Can cause equipment damage,
personal injury and death.
Extreme caution is required when performing maintenance.
Be constantly aware that the UPS contains high DC as well as AC voltages. With input
power Off and the DC source disconnected, high voltage at filter capacitors and power
circuits should be discharged within 5 minutes. However, if a power circuit failure has
occurred, assume that high voltage may still exist after shutdown. Check with a voltmeter
before making contact.
AC voltage will remain on the bypass and output circuit breakers and the static bypass
switch, unless associated external circuit breakers are opened.
Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters before making contact.
When the UPS is under power, both the operator and any test equipment must be isolated
from direct contact with earth ground and the UPS chassis frame by using rubber mats.
Some components within the cabinets are not connected to chassis ground.
Any contact between floating circuits and the chassis is a lethal shock hazard. Use
differential oscilloscopes when measuring a floating circuit.
Exercise caution that the test instrument exterior does not make contact, either physically
or electrically, with earth ground.
In case of fire involving electrical equipment, use only carbon dioxide fire extinguishers or
others approved for use in fighting electrical fires.

AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de décharge électrique et de présence de courant de court-circuit élevé pouvant
entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort.
Les opérations d'entretien requièrent une extrême prudence.
Soyez toujours conscient du fait que le système ASC contient des tensions c.c. et c.a.
élevées. Une fois l'alimentation d'entrée coupée et la source d'alimentation c.c.
débranchée, la haute tension aux condensateurs de filtrage et aux circuits d'alimentation
devrait se dissiper en moins de 5 minutes. En cas de défaillance d'un circuit d'alimentation,
toutefois, il importe de présumer qu'une tension élevée est présente même après l'arrêt.
Vérifiez toujours les tensions avec un voltmètre avant d'établir des contacts.
Les disjoncteurs de dérivation et de sortie, de même que le commutateur statique de
dérivation, continueront d'afficher une tension c.a. à moins que les disjoncteurs externs
associés ne soient ouverts.
Vérifiez les tensions avec des voltmètres c.a. et c.c. avant d'établir tout contact.
Lorsque le système ASC est sous tension, les responsables de l'entretien et l'équipement
d'essai doivent reposer sur des tapis de caoutchouc pour prévenir tout contact direct
avec le sol et avec le châssis du système lors des interventions.
Certains composants à l'intérieur des armoires ne sont pas connectés à la masse du
châssis.
Tout contact entre les circuits flottants et le châssis présente un risque de décharge
mortelle. Utilisez des oscilloscopes différentiels lors des mesures d'un circuit flottant.
Il importe de veiller à ce que l'extérieur des équipements d'essai n'entre pas en contact
physique ou électrique avec le sol.
En cas d'incendie associé à du matériel électrique, n'utilisez que des extincteurs à dioxyde
de carbone ou homologués pour la lutte contre les incendies d'origine électrique.

properly trained and qualified personnel.
AVERTISSEMENT
Les procédures d’entretien ci-dessous exposent des composants sous tension
dangereuse. Les interventions d’entretien doivent être confiées à du personnel qualifié et
dûment formé.
8.3 Battery Safety Precautions

Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel experienced with
batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

When replacing batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause personal injury and death.
Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters before working within the UPS. Check
for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters before making contact.
gloves, shoes and glasses should be involved in installing the UPS or preparing the UPS
for installation. When performing maintenance with any part of the equipment under
power, service personnel and test equipment should be standing on rubber mats.
Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous materials. Batteries must be handled, transported
and recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Because
lead is a toxic substance, lead-acid batteries must be recycled rather than discarded.
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes. It is toxic.
The following precautions must 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.
• Determine whether the battery is grounded. If it is grounded, remove source of
ground.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.

AVERTISSEMENT
Vérifiez les tensions au moyen de voltmètres c.a. et c.c. avant d'utiliser le système ASC.
Vérifiez les tensions avec des voltmètres c.a. et c.c. avant d'établir tout contact.
chaussures et des lunettes de écurité adéquats doivent se charger d’installer le système
ASC ou de le préparer pour l'installation. Les responsables de l'entretien et l’équipement
d’essai doivent reposer sur des tapis de caoutchouc lors de toute intervention sur une
pièce d’équipement sous tension.
Les batteries au plomb-acide renferment des matières dangereuses. Les batteries doivent
être manipulées, transportées, recyclées ou jetées conformément aux règlements
fédéraux, provinciaux et municipaux. Étant donné que le plomb est une substance
toxique, les batteries au plomb-acide doivent être recyclées plutôt que mises au rebut.
Ne jetez jamais de batteries au feu car elles risquent d’exploser.
Vous ne devez ni ouvrir ni percer les batteries, car l'électrolyte qui s'en écoulerait est nocif
pour la peau et les yeux. Cet électrolyte est toxique.
Lorsque vous travaillez avec des batteries, prenez les précautions suivantes :
• Retirez montre, bagues et tout autre objet métallique.
• Utilisez des outils dont le manche est isolé.
• Portez des gants et des bottes de caoutchouc.
• Ne posez aucun outil ni pièce métallique sur le dessus d’une batterie.
• Déconnectez la source de chargement avant de brancher ou de débrancher les
bornes d’une batterie.
• Vérifiez si la batterie est mise à la terre. Le cas échéant, éliminez la cause de la mise
à la terre.
Le contact avec toute partie d'une batterie mise à la terre peut provoquer une décharge
électrique. Pour réduire de tels risques d'accident, débranchez les prises de terre avant de
procéder à l’installation ou à l'entretien.
Regular maintenance of the battery module is an absolute necessity. Periodic inspections of
battery and terminal voltages, specific gravity, and connection resistance should be made.
Strictly follow the procedures outlined in the battery manufacturer's manual. (See battery
manufacturer’s web site.)
Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries do require periodic maintenance. Although they do not
require maintenance of electrolyte levels, visual inspections and checks of battery voltage and
connection resistance should be made.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to battery cases. Do not use cleaners on the batteries. Solvents can make the battery
cases brittle. Use only a dry cloth or a cloth moistened in water
Since individual battery characteristics are not identical and may change over time, the UPS
module is equipped with circuitry to equalize battery cell voltages. This circuit temporarily
increases charging voltage to maintain flooded type battery cells at full capacity.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock, explosive reaction, hazardous chemicals and fire. Can cause
equipment damage, personal injury and death.
Do not use equalize charging with valve-regulated, lead-acid batteries, such as those used
in Liebert battery cabinets. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s manual, available on the
manufacturer’s Web site, for specific information about equalize charging.

AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de décharge électrique, de réaction explosive, d’incendie et d’exposition à des
produits chimiques dangereux pouvant entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures

8.4 Limited-Life Components

The Liebert EXM UPS has a design life well in excess of 10 years. Well-maintained units can
continue to provide economic benefits for 20 years or more. Long-life components are used in
the UPS wherever practical and cost effective. However, due to the currently available
component material, manufacturing technology limitations and the general function and use of
the component, a few components in your Liebert UPS will have a shorter life cycle and require
replacement in less than 10 years.
The following components utilized in your UPS system have a limited life cycle and are
specifically exempt from warranty. To prevent a wear-out failure of one of these components
affecting your critical load operations, Vertiv recommends these components be periodically
inspected and replaced before the expected expiration of their life cycle. The expected life of
each component listed below is simply an estimate and is not a guarantee. Individual users may
have site-specific requirements, maintenance and other environmental conditions that affect
the length of the component’s useful life cycle. .
Table 27 Component service life
Component Expected Life Replace in:
Air filters 5 years Check four times per year
Power Modules & Static Bypass
20 years 18 years
Assembly
Frame Fans 10 years 8 years
NOTE
Component Expected Life requires ambient temperature conditions <25° C. If temperature
conditions are higher, expected life will be shorter.
In most cases, replacement components must exactly match the original component
specifications. These replacement components are not readily available from third-party
component distributors. For assistance with your specific component specifications,
replacement component selection and sourcing, call 1-800-LIEBERT. For customers using
Vertiv Services’ preventive maintenance services, periodic inspection of these components is
part of this service, as well as recommending component replacement intervals to customers to
avoid unanticipated interruptions in critical load operations.
8.5 Routine Maintenance

Become thoroughly familiar with the equipment, but at no time go beyond the specific
procedures in this manual while performing maintenance or correcting a malfunction. If you
have any doubt as to what must be done, call Vertiv Services at 800-543-2378 for further

instructions. The UPS is designed for unattended operation, but does require some common
sense maintenance.
• Keep good records—Troubleshooting is easier if you maintain historical service records.
• Keep the UPS free of dust and any moisture.
• Keep the UPS cool:
• Battery systems must be kept in the range of 72-77°F (22-25°C) in order to meet design specifications
for capacity and longevity.
• The UPS will reliably meet all performance specifications at temperatures up to 104°F (40°C), and can
be slightly derated for operation at even higher temperatures. However, performance and longevity will
be optimized when the UPS is operated at the same temperature as the batteries.
• Keep connections tight.
• Tighten all connections at installation and at least annually thereafter. (See 8.5.3 - Torque Requirements).

8.5.1 Record Log
Set up a maintenance log to record scheduled checks and any abnormal conditions.
The log should have space for all metered data including phase readings, alarm messages, UPS
mode of operation, air filter replacement date and observation notes. A second log should be
maintained for the battery module as directed by the battery manufacturer.
Vertiv recommends a periodic walk-through inspection of the UPS and battery rooms to check
for visible and audible indications of problems. Log the inspection, metered parameter
indications and any discrepancies.
8.5.2 Air Filters
The air filters must be inspected and serviced on a regular schedule. The period between
inspections will depend upon environmental conditions. Under normal conditions, the air filters
will require cleaning or replacement approximately every two months.
All Liebert® EXM™ models have replaceable filter elements behind the grille in the front of the
unit. This element can be changed with the UPS operating by opening the outer door. The
Liebert EXM’s air filters are washable and reusable. One set of air filters is shipped with each
Liebert® EXM™.
Abnormal or dusty conditions will require more frequent cleaning and replacement of air filters.
Inspect installations in new buildings more often, then extend the inspection period as
experience dictates.
Replacing Air Filters
Installing the two air filter sizes in a Liebert® EXM™ requires only a Phillips screwdriver. Each
filter is held in place by a bracket on either side of each filter. Refer to 8.5.2 - Air Filters for
details about filter maintenance.
To replace a filter:
1. Open the UPS front door and locate the filters on the back side of the front door (see Figure 30).
2. Remove one bracket and loosen the screw on the second bracket. The second bracket need not be
removed.
3. Remove the dust filter to be replaced.
4. Insert the clean filter.
5. Reinstall the bracket, tightening the screw securely.
6. Tighten the screw on the second bracket.

8.6 Detecting Trouble
It is important that the operator check the instrument readings if abnormal equipment
performance is suspected. Any metered value that differs appreciably from normal could mean
an impending malfunction, and should be investigated.
Items to check on the various UPS display screens include:
1. Output voltage of all phases should be within 2% of normal voltage. Output currents on each phase should
not normally differ by more than 20%. If a greater difference is noted, the load is unbalanced and
corrective action should be taken to redistribute the load, if possible.
2. If the UPS has not operated on battery power during the last 10 hours, the batteries should require little
charging current. Battery mimic should indicate normal DC voltage with relatively little battery charge
current.
3. Input current on each phase should be within 10% of the average input current. Alarm messages indicate
malfunction or impending malfunction. A daily check of the Operator Control Panel will help to provide an
early detection of problems. Refer to Appendix B - UPS Status Messages to interpret alarm messages.
4. Tracing a problem to a particular section is facilitated by alarm messages and the metered parameter
indications. These are stored in the Status Reports and can be displayed at the Operator Control Panel or
at an optional terminal.
NOTE
If the UPS system has a blown fuse, the cause should be determined before you replace the fuse.
Contact Vertiv Services.
8.7 Reporting a Problem

If a problem occurs within the UPS, review all alarm messages along with other pertinent data.
This information should be given to the Vertiv Services dispatcher. Call 800-543-2378 to report
a problem or to request assistance.
8.8 Corrective Actions

Recommended corrective actions for each alarm message on the Operator Control Panel and
the Remote Alarm Status Panel may be found in Appendix B - UPS Status Messages.
8.9 Recommended Test Equipment

Table 30 lists recommended test equipment and tools required to maintain, troubleshoot and
repair the UPS module. Instruments of equivalent range and accuracy may be substituted. All
instruments should be calibrated and be within the current calibration cycle. Calibration data for
the instruments should be maintained in equipment-history files and the instruments labeled for
audit and verification.

Table 32 UPS status messages (continued)
This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the amplitude or frequency of
bypass voltage exceeds the limit.
This alarm automatically resets once the bypass voltage goes normal.
First check if there are some relevant alarms such as “Bypass disconnect open”, “Bypass phase
reverse” and “Mains neutral lost”. If they appear, solve them first.
1. Then verify that the bypass voltage and frequency displayed on the panel is within the
Bypass Abnormal bypass limit. Note here the rated voltage and frequency are specified by “Output voltage
level” and “Output frequency level” respectively.
2. If the displayed voltage is believed to be abnormal, then verify the bypass voltage and
frequency presented to the UPS. Check the external bypass supply if it is found to be faulty.
If the utility is likely to trigger this alarm frequently, the bypass limit can be changed a little
larger through the configuration software according to the customer’s agreement.
This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the inverter and bypass
waveforms are misaligned by more than 6 degrees in phase. This alarm resets automatically
once the condition is no longer true.
1. First check if the alarm “Bypass unable to trace” or “Bypass abnormal” occurs. If so, solve it

panel to determine which phase is being overloaded.
2. If the alarm is true, measure the actual output current to verify that the indications are valid.
Disconnect unnecessary load and ensure the safety. In a parallel system, a severe load
sharing error can also leads to the alarm.

The UPS is confirmed to overload and the overload times out.
Note 1: The highest loaded phase will indicate overload timing-out first.
Note 2: When the timer is active, then alarm “unit overload” should also be active as the load is
above nominal.
Note 3: When the timer has expired, the inverter Static Switch is opened and the load
Unit Overload Timeout transferred to bypass. The inverter shutdown and will restart after 10 seconds.
Note 4: If the load decreases lower than 95% after 5 minutes, the system will transfer back to
inverter mode.
Confirm that the alarm is genuine by checking the load percent indicated on the LCD. If an
overload is indicated then check the load, and investigate any additional load connected prior
to the alarm (if applicable).
The phase sequence direction of bypass voltage is reversed.
Normally, the phase of Phase B lags 120 degrees behind Phase A, and the phase of Phase C lags
Bypass Phase Reversed 120 degrees behind Phase B.
Verify that the phase rotation of the bypass supply presented to the UPS is correct, and rectify
it if it is wrong. Contact Vertiv Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance.
A transfer to bypass occurred due to a large step load. The UPS should recover automatically.
