Chapter 1 Overview
This section provides a short introduction to the Liebert EXS 10kVA ~ 20kVA UPS (hereafter referred to as “the UPS”),
covering features, design concept, parallel system, operating mode, battery management and battery protection.
1.1 Features
The UPS is connected between a critical load (e.g. a computer) and the mains power supply to provide high quality power
for the loads. The UPS provides the following advantages:
Increased power quality
The UPS protects its output against the variations in the input power supply by means of the intelligent controller.
Improved noise rejection
Due to the use of AC-DC-AC conversion, noise on the input power supply is effectively filtered, so that the load is
provided with a “clean” power supply.
Mains failure protection
If the input power fails, the UPS switches to battery operating mode so that the power supply to the loads is not
interrupted.
Compatible with two output modes
3-in 3-out (factory default) and 3-in 1-out (by installing an optional 3-in 1-out copper bar kit). Only authorized personnel
are permitted to change the wiring method and modify the corresponding parameters using the VERTIV setting software.
System Design
This section introduces the working principle of the single UPS module. The UPS adopts AC-DC-AC conversion (as
shown in Figure 1-1). The first stage conversion (AC-DC) uses a three-phase, high frequency rectifier to convert the
three-phase input voltage into a stable DC bus voltage.
Input Output
Static switch
Bypass input
Bypass input switch
Rectifier Inverter
Mains input UPS output
Note
When the load is supplied by the bypass or maintenance bypass, the power quality & availability will be unregulated.
Normal operation
Normal mode: In this condition, the UPS mains input supply is within normal limits, the rectifier and inverter operate
normally, the load is supplied by the inverter, the battery circuit breaker is closed, and the battery is in the stable floating
charge state.
(Parallel System) Note: As the individual UPS module outputs are connected in parallel, the system checks that the
inverter control circuits are perfectly synchronized with one another and with the bypass in terms of both frequency and
phase, and that the output voltages are the same. The current supplied to the load is automatically divided among the
UPS units. A warning message appears while synchronization is in progress.
Mains abnormal
When the mains fails or is abnormal, the rectifier will stop working automatically, and the system will transfer to battery
output (through the inverter). The length of the operation time in battery mode depends on the load and the battery
capacity. During this period, if the battery voltage falls to the EOD level before the mains supply has returned within
normal limits, the inverter will stop working automatically, and the UPS operator control and display panel will display the
corresponding alarm messages. If the system uses split bypass configuration and the bypass is normal, the system will
transfer to bypass.
Mains recovery
When the mains returns within normal limits within the permissible time, the rectifier will start automatically (at this point
its output power will increase gradually) and supply the load and charge the battery again. This means that the power
supply to the load will not be interrupted.
Disconnecting the battery
To disconnect the external battery from the UPS system during maintenance, use the external isolation device. In this
condition, the battery backup function will not be available in the event of a mains failure, but none of the other UPS
functions and performance will be affected.
UPS module failure
In the event of an inverter failure, automatic inverter switch failure, or if the output fuse blows, the load will automatically
transfer to the bypass, and the output power supply will not be interrupted. Should this condition occur, please contact
your local VERTIV customer service centre for technical support.

ITA2
(Parallel System) In the event of a fault on a UPS module, it will automatically exit the parallel system. If the system is
still capable of providing the power required by the load, the remaining modules will continue to supply the load without
interruptions. If the remaining modules are no longer capable of fulfilling the power requirements, the load will
automatically transfer to the bypass.
Overload
If the inverter is overloaded or the inverter current remains outside the specifications (refer to Table 10-6) longer than
the specified time, the load will automatically transfer to the bypass without any interruption in the power supply to the
load. If both the overload and the current are reduced to a level within the specified range, then the load will be re-
transferred to the inverter. In the event of an output short circuit, the load will be transferred to the bypass, and the
inverter will shut down. The transfer is determined primarily by the characteristics of the system protection device.
In both the situations listed above, the UPS operator control and display panel will display the corresponding alarm
messages.
(Parallel System) The control logic system constantly monitors load requirements and controls the power supplied by
each UPS module. If an overload condition persists for longer than a pre-set period and the number of active modules is
unable to satisfy load requirements, the load will transfer to the bypass. The load is re-transferred to the inverter if the
power is reduced to a value that can be sustained by the number of active modules in the system.
Maintenance bypass
The UPS is equipped with a second bypass circuit, known as the maintenance bypass, which provides a safe working
environment for the engineers to carry out regular maintenance or repair the UPS system, while providing unregulated
mains supply to the loads. The maintenance bypass can be activated manually selected by closing the maintenance
bypass switch, and disconnected by setting the switch to OFF.
Warning
If the UPS system consists of two or more UPS modules, and the load capacity exceeds the single module capacity, do not use the
internal maintenance bypass switch.
Battery mode
As shown in Figure 1-4, the operating mode where the battery provides the backup power supply to the loads through the
rectifier and inverter is called battery mode. In the event of a mains failure, the system will transfer automatically to
battery mode with no interruption in the power supply to the load. When the mains power supply is restored, the system
will re-transfer automatically to normal operating mode without any manual intervention, and with no interruption in the
power supply to the load.

Note: The battery cold start function may be used to switch the UPS on in Battery (charged) mode directly during
mains failure. This means that the battery power supply can be used independently to improve the availability of the UPS.
Bypass mode
As shown in Figure 1-5, in normal mode, in the event of an inverter failure, inverter overload or inverter manual shut down,
the static switch will transfer the load from the inverter side to bypass side, with no interruption in the power supply to
the load. In this case, if the inverter and bypass are not synchronized, there will be a transitory interruption in the power
supply to the load (not exceeding 20ms).
Static switch

Maintenance mode
As shown in Figure 1-6, if it is necessary to service the UPS or carry out maintenance work on it, you may use the manual
maintenance bypass switch to transfer the load to maintenance bypass, with no interruption in the power supply to the
load. This maintenance bypass switch is fitted in all UPS modules and rated for full load of one module.

Warning
The load is not protected against distortion on the mains voltage waveform in ECO mode.
Note
Never use batteries having different brands, type or capacities in the same system. Common battery string mode is suitable for
parallel systems only, and is not compatible with LBS mode.
Normal Function
The UPS system also features a battery charge temperature compensation function. When the ambient temperature is
increased, the DC bus voltage (which charges the battery) will be reduced correspondingly to provide optimal charging
voltage for the battery, thus prolonging the battery service life time.
This function must be used together with the VERTIV battery temperature detection device (standard option).
2.1 Precautions
This section describes the environmental and mechanical requirements and mechanical considerations that must be
taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
Because no two sites are the same, this section does not provide the detailed installation procedures, and is only
intended to act as a guide for the general procedures and practices that should be carried out by the installing engineer,
so that they can handle the specific situation at the site correctly.
1. Do not dismantle the packaging without the permission of an authorised service engineer.
2. The UPS should be installed by an authorised engineer in accordance with the information provided in this section.
Take special care when installing batteries. When connecting batteries, the battery terminal voltage will reach 320Vdc, which is
fatal to human beings.
1. Always wear safety glasses to protect the eyes from being damaged by arcing.
2. Remove all the metal items, including finger rings, watch, etc.
3. Use tools with insulated handles.
4. Wear rubber gloves.
5. If batteries are damaged or leak electrolyte they must be replaced. Place the battery into the container that can withstand
sulphuric acid and dispose of it according to the local regulations.
6. In the event of contact with electrolyte, wash the affected are with abundant clean water immediately.
2.2 Transportation
Rail and sea shipping are the recommended transportation methods. If road transportation is unavoidable, choose roads
that are less bumpy in order to protect the equipment.
The UPS cabinet is heavy (see Table 10-3 for the weight). We recommend using mechanical equipment such as an
electric forklift to unload and move the equipment to the place closest to the installation site.
2.3 Tools
Warning
1. For reasons of safety, all installation tools used on live components must be insulated.
2. The tools listed in Table 2-1 are for reference only; please adapt to the actual requirements for on-site installation and
connection.
Stepladder Forklift
2.4 Unpacking
Unpack the UPS and battery packages under the supervision of an authorized service engineer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the carton.
Remove the packing strap and lift the whole carton upwards, as shown in Figure 2-1.
2. Remove the fixing structural parts from the bottom pallet (see Figure 2-2), do not throw them away. Next, use the
forklift (inserting the forks at the points illustrated in Figure 2-2) to move the cabinet close the installation site.
3. After moving the cabinet to the installation site, you raise the adjustable feet and use the castors to move the cabinet
to its final installation position, finally, rotate the adjustable feet until they are in contact with the floor. See Figure 2-3 for
the finished installation.
Note: 1. It is not necessary to install the fastening structural parts of the bottom pallet in the case of UPS
with side cabinet.
2. In the case of standard UPS with internal batteries, simply secure the fastening structural parts removed in
step 2 to the cabinet bottom (See right drawing); in the case of standard UPS without internal batteries, install
the fastening structure parts to both the left and right hand sides (See left drawing) based on the right drawing
to avoid tipping.
The UPS should be located in a cool, dry, clean-air indoor environment with adequate ventilation, and should be located
on concrete or other non-flammable, flat surfaces. The surrounding environment should be free from conductive powders
(such as metallic powder, sulphide, sulphur dioxide, graphite, carbon fibre, conductive fibre, etc.), acid mist or other
conductive media (strongly ionized substances). The environmental specifications should comply with relevant
international standard & specifications and the operating range (see Table 10-2) specified in this manual.
The UPS uses forced cooling by internal fans. Cooling air enters the UPS through the ventilation grills at the front of the
cabinet and is expelled through the ventilation grills at the back of the cabinet. Do not obstruct the ventilation holes
(ventilation grills). The rear of the UPS should be kept a distance at least 200mm from the wall to avoid blocking the UPS
heat dissipation, thus reducing the UPS internal temperature and improving the UPS life.
If necessary, install indoor extractor fans to aid cooling-air flow and avoid temperature build-up in the installation area.
Note 1: When the battery cabinet is installed near the UPS, the maximum allowable ambient temperature
is dependent on the battery rather than the UPS.
Note 2: If the UPS is operating in ECO mode, the power consumption will be less than in Normal mode. A proper
air conditioning system shall be selected according to the normal operating mode.
Batteries generate a certain amount of hydrogen and oxygen at the end of the charging cycle, so the fresh air volume of
the battery installation environment must meet the EN50272-2001 requirements.
The ambient temperature is the main factor that affects the battery capacity and life. The normal operating temperature
of the battery is 20°C. If the ambient temperature is higher than 20°C, the battery life will be reduced. If it is lower than
20°C, the battery capacity will be reduced. Under normal operating conditions, the acceptable ambient temperature for
the battery is 15°C to 25°C. The ambient temperature of the battery must be maintained constant, and the battery must
be kept away from heat sources and air outlets.
The battery may be installed inside the dedicated battery cabinet, which shall be positioned close to the UPS. If the
battery is placed on the raised floor, brackets shall be installed under the floor, just as for the UPS. In the case of rack-
mounted batteries or batteries that are installed remotely from the UPS, the battery circuit breaker shall be installed
close to the battery, and the cable lengths shall be kept to a minimum.
Storage
Should the UPS not be installed immediately, it must be stored in its original packaging in a location where it is protected
against excessive humidity and heat sources (see Table 10-2). The battery must be stored in a dry and cool place with
good ventilation. The most suitable storage temperature is between 20°C and 25°C.
Warning
Recharge the battery at regular intervals during storage in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. During the charge
process, connect the UPS temporarily to the mains and activate the battery by recharging it.
Warning
1. Ensure that the load capacity of the lifting equipment used to move the UPS cabinet is sufficient.
2. The UPS is fitted with castors. When removing the UPS from the shipping pallet, take care to prevent it from sliding. Ensure that
sufficient personnel and lifting equipment are available when removing the shipping pallet.
3. Due to the weight of the UPS cabinet, the castors may only be suitable for use on flat surfaces.
4. The centre of gravity of the UPS cabinet is high, take care to prevent it tipping over when moving it
5. The cabinet must never be suspended vertically.
Caution
Take special care when moving the battery cabinet with the batteries installed, making sure that each battery string has been
secured and keeping movements to a minimum.
Ensure that the UPS weight does not exceed the load capacity of the lifting equipment. For information about the weight
of the UPS, refer to Table 10-3.
The UPS may be moved using a forklift truck or similar lifting equipment.
The castors may be used when it is necessary to move it over short distances.
Clearance
Because the UPS is not fitted with lateral grilles, there is no special clearance requirement on either side.
In addition to any local regulations, in order provide sufficient space for routine operations, such as tightening the power
terminals inside the UPS, it is recommended that clearance around the front of the UPS should be sufficient to enable
free passage of personnel with the door fully open. In addition, it is necessary to leave a clearance of at least 200 mm at
the rear of the cabinet in order to permit adequate circulation of the hot air expelled by the UPS.

Warning
1. Do not switch the UPS on before the authorised service engineer arrives.
2. The UPS should be routed by an authorised engineer in accordance with the information provided in this section.
System Configuration
The system power cable dimensions shall meet the following requirements:
UPS input cable
The UPS input cable dimension differs depending on the UPS power ratings and input AC voltages, provided that it
meets the requirement of maximum input current, including the maximum battery charge current, see Table 3-1.
UPS bypass and output cable
The UPS bypass and output cable size differs depending on the UPS power rating and output AC voltages, provided that
it meets the requirement of nominal output or bypass current, as shown in Table 3-1.
Battery cable
Each UPS is connected to the respective battery positive pole, negative pole and neutral line by three cables . The
battery cable dimension differs depending on the UPS power ratings, provided that it meets the battery discharge
current requirement when the battery voltage nears the EOD level, as shown in Table 3-1.
The power cable must be selected according to the current and voltage values indicated in Table 3-1, as well as the local
wiring regulations, as well as taking environmental conditions (temperature and physical media) into consideration; refer

Notes
The following points are provided for general guidance only. If there are corresponding local regulations, such regulations
shall prevail.
1. The protective earth cable dimension shall be selected according to the AC power failure level, cable length and
protection type. The grounding wire connection must use the shortest possible connection route.
The rectifier input, bypass input, output and battery power cables are connected to the corresponding terminals, as
shown in Figure 3-2.
Protective Earth
The protective earth cable must be connected securely to the PE input terminal (see Figure 3-2) using the fastening bolt.
All the cabinets and cable troughs shall be earthed according to the local regulations. The earthing wires shall be secured
in order to prevent them coming loose from the fastening screws if they are pulled.
Warning
Failure to earth the various elements as directed may result in EMI, electric shock or fire risk.
To ensure safety, it is necessary to install external circuit breakers on the UPS input and battery lines. Because no two
installations are the same, this section is only intended to provide general practical guidelines for installation engineers.
Qualified installation engineers should be aware of the local wiring regulations and any other related information
Rectifier and bypass input power supply
1. Input overcurrent and short circuit protection
Install suitable protective devices on the mains input supply distribution line. The protective devices should provide
functions such as overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, isolation protection and tripping upon backfeed. When
selecting the protective devices, consider the power cable current-carrying capacity, system overload capacity (see Table
10-6 and Table 10-7) and the short circuit capacity of the upstream power distribution.
2. Split bypass configuration
If the UPS adopts the split bypass configuration, independent protective device shall be installed on both the rectifier
input and bypass input distribution lines.
Note
1. The rectifier input and bypass input must use the same neutral line.
2. In the case of IT grid systems, a 4-pole protective device must be installed on the UPS external power distribution line.
The UPS is fitted with an internal EMC filter, therefore the protective earth cable leakage current is 0 ~ 1000mA. We
recommend confirming the RCD sensitivity of the upstream input power distribution and downstream power distribution
(to the load) lines.
External battery
The BCB must be installed in order to protect external battery. The UPS requires an optional BCB box to provide
overcurrent protection, short circuit protection and automatic tripping functions for the external battery. The rated
voltage of the BCB is 500Vdc.
This BCB is extremely important for the battery maintenance, and is generally installed close to the battery.
System output
The UPS output distribution line must be fitted with a protective device. The protective device must be different from the
input distribution protection switch and be able to provide overload protection (refer to Table 10-6 and Table 10-7).
For the UPS cable access mode, refer to 2.7.3 Cable Access Mode.
Connection terminals and cable routing method
Figure 3-2 shows the UPS power cable connection terminals. Figure 3-3 shows the power cable entry and routing
methods.
Note
1. Open the appropriate holes on the rear protective cover before routing the power cables. Install cable guards around the rims of
the hole to protect power cables against cutting.
2. Feed the power cables through the holes, then connect them to the corresponding terminals.
Warning
1. Before connecting the cables, make sure that all the external and internal UPS power switches are set to OFF, and post the
appropriate warning signs to prevent inadvertent operation of the switches.
2. Measure the voltages between the UPS terminals, and the voltages between the terminals and earth.
Warning
1. The earth cables and neutral line must be connected in accordance with local and national codes of practice.
2. Failure to observe this condition may result in electric shock or fire risk.
Note that the common input copper shorting bars are fitted before delivery.
Figure 3-4 3-in 3-out, common input configuration cable connection (factory default)
Warning
Prior to the service engineer's visit, if the load is not ready to be connected to the power supply, it is important to ensure the
terminals of the output cables are insulated safely
Note
After connection, take appropriate measures to seal the cable entry holes.
Overview
Depending on the specific on-site needs, the UPS requires auxiliary connections to manage the battery system (including
the external battery circuit breaker), communicate with a PC, provide alarm signals for external devices, enable a remote
EPO and/or the bypass back feed circuit breaker signal, and for parallel communication functions. These functions are
performed by the communication box in the UPS cabinet. As shown in Figure 3-6, the communication box provides the
following ports:
The UPS provides five dry contact ports. The silkprints of the five dry contact ports are 1 ~ 12. The pin layout of each dry
contact port is shown in Figure 3-7, and the port description is shown in Table 3-5.
Note
Activating the UPS EPO will deactivate the rectifier, inverter and static bypass, but does not disconnect the UPS from the mains
input. If you wish to disconnect the UPS completely, it is also necessary to open the input MCB installed upstream of the UPS when
activating the EPO.
In the event of an emergency, close the REPO switch (supplied and installed by the user) in order to shut down the
rectifier and inverter, and switch the UPS off. Under normal conditions, the REPO switch cannot be used to isolate the
UPS from the mains input power. If an electronically controlled circuit breaker function is installed at the UPS input, the
REPO switch can be used to trip this breaker, thus cutting off the UPS mains input power. The position of the REPO
switch is shown in Figure 3-6, and the REPO cable connection is shown in Figure 3-8.
Note
1. We recommend using 0.82mm2 ~ 0.33mm2 copper core cable ( 18AWG ~ 33AWG signal cable).
2. If the REPO has been configured to trip an electronically controlled circuit breaker switch, after the REPO has been activated it
will be necessary to re-arm the switch before restarting the UPS.
Intellislot Port
The position of this port is shown in Figure 3-6. The Intellislot port is used for installing optional cards, including the SIC
card, UNITY card, etc. The Intellislot port can be used together with other ports.
Multifunction port
The multifunction port uses the standard RJ45 port, which supports the Modbus/Jbus protocol and can be used to
connect the VERTIV temperature/temperature & humidity sensor. The user can enable Modbus/Jbus protocol function or
sensor function via the 'Settings' on the LCD.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port supports the HTTP protocol. The user can connect one end of the net cable to the Ethernet port on
the UPS, and the other to the built-in Ethernet port on the computer. The user can remotely access the UPS via the IE,
Chrome and Firefox so as to monitor the UPS in real time.
Connecting the net cables: Connect one end of the net cable to the Ethernet port on the UPS, and the other to the built-
in Ethernet port (or switch port, or router port) on the computer.
Setting the network parameters: The user should change the parameters (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) of
the computer or the UPS, in order to guarantee communication between the computer and the UPS.
Browser support
For the best user experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer (IE9 or later), Chrome, or FireFox (latest version
required).
Screen resolution
We recommend a display resolution of 1024*768 or greater.
Note
Route the power and signal cables respectively. The signal cable shielding sheath must be earthed securely.
Rear cable access mode is available. See Figure 3-10 for a detailed description of the wiring method.

Chapter 6 Battery
This section introduces the battery, providing information about safety, installation and maintenance, and the battery
protection function.
6.1 Introduction
The UPS battery string consists of a number of batteries connected in series, and provides rated DC input voltage for the
UPS inverter. The required battery backup time (i.e. The length of time the battery is able to supply the load for following
a mains failure) depends on the ampere-hour value of the battery. Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to
connect several battery strings in parallel.
For ease of installation, the battery is generally placed in the specially designed battery rack or a dedicated battery room.
During the maintenance or repair, the battery must be disconnected from the UPS. This may be achieved by using a
suitably rated battery circuit breaker. This circuit breaker must be located as close as possible to the battery connection
terminals, while the length of the power and signal cables connected to the UPS must be kept to a minimum.
When several battery strings are connected in parallel in order to increase the battery backup time, each string must be
fitted with its own disconnecting device, so that, when it is necessary to carry out maintenance work on an individual
battery string, the normal operation of the other strings is not affected.
6.2 Safety
Take special care when working with the batteries associated with this UPS. When all the blocks are connected, the
battery string voltage can reach 540Vdc. This is potentially lethal. Please follow the precautions for working with high
voltages.
Only qualified personnel may install and service the battery. To ensure safety, the external batteries must be installed
inside a lockable cabinet or in a purpose-designed, dedicated battery room, so that they are only accessible to qualified
service personnel.
Confirm that the battery switch has been set to off before carrying out battery maintenance operations.
1. No user-serviceable parts are located behind the protective covers that can only be removed by using tools. Only qualified
service personnel are authorized to remove such covers.
2. Before working on the copper bars connected to the external battery, please ensure they are disconnected from all power
supplies.
Applying too little or too much torque may result in poor connections. Under
Tighten the terminal bolt of the battery,
certain conditions, the terminal may be subject to arcing or heat accumulation,
applying the specified torque
which can result in fire
Battery damaged during handling or shipping After a week of normal charge/discharge cycle testing
c) Batteries are very heavy. Please use the proper procedures when moving and lifting batteries in order to prevent injury and avoid
damaging battery terminals. Severe damage to the battery may cause fire.
d) The battery connecting terminal must not be subject to any force, such as pulling twisting forces exerted by the cables,
otherwise, the internal battery connections may be damaged. Severe damage to the battery may cause fire.
e) The battery must be installed and stored in a clean, cool and dry environment. Do not install the battery in a sealed battery
chamber or a sealed room. The battery room ventilation shall at least meet the requirement of EN50272-2001. Otherwise, battery
bulging, fire or even human injury may be caused.
f) Batteries must be installed away from heat sources (e.g. Transformers) and kept away from sources of fire, in addition, they must
not be burnt or heated in a fire. Otherwise, battery leakage, bulging, fire or explosion may be caused.
g) Do not connect conductors directly between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Remove the rings, watches,
necklaces, bracelets and other metal items before working on batteries, and always used insulated tools (e.g. wrenches). Otherwise,
battery burning, human death/injury or explosion may be caused.
h) Do not attempt to disassemble, modify or demolish batteries. Otherwise, battery short circuit, liquid leakage or even human
injury may be caused.
i) Clean the battery enclosure with a damp cloth. To avoid any static or arcing, do not use dry cloths or dusters to clean the
batteries. Do not use the organic solvents (such as thinners, gasoline, volatile oil) to clean the batteries. Otherwise, the battery
enclosure may be cracked. In the worst case this may even result in fires.
j) The batteries contain diluted sulphuric acid. In normal use, the diluted sulphuric acid will be absorbed by the battery baffle and
polar plate. However, if the battery is damaged, it may leak acid. Therefore, personal protective equipment (e.g., protective glasses,
rubber gloves and apron) must be used when working with batteries. Failure to observe the above may result in blindness, if the
sulphuric acid comes into contact with the eyes, or burns, if it comes into contact with the skin.
k) batteries may be a affected by short circuits, electrolyte dry-up or positive pole erosion failure at the end of their service life.
Continued use it this state may result in thermal runaway, bulging or liquid leakage. Please replace the batteries before they reach
this state.
l) Before connecting or disconnecting the battery connection cables, please isolate them from the battery charger terminals.
m) Check whether the battery has been unexpectedly earthed. If so, remove the earth connection. Contact with any part of the
earthed battery may result in an electric shock.
Note
Installation Environment
The higher the temperature, the shorter the battery service life. At low temperatures, the charge/discharge performance
of the battery will be significantly reduced.
The battery must be installed in a cool and dry environment where the relative humidity is less than 90%, and must be
protected from heat sources and direct sunlight.
The ambient temperature, ventilation, space, float/boost charge voltage and ripple current will all affect the battery
temperature. Uneven temperature among the battery strings will cause uneven voltage distribution and thus compromise
performance. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a balanced temperature along the entire length of the battery
string, and to ensure that the temperature difference between batteries on different layers does not exceed 3°C. Valve-
regulated batteries are very sensitive to the temperature, therefore the working temperature should be maintained
between 15°C and 25°C. If the battery cabinet is installed near the UPS, the maximum design ambient temperature shall
be determined according to the battery rather than the UPS. This means that, if valve-regulated batteries are used, the
indoor ambient temperature shall be 15°C ~ 25°C rather than the operating temperature range of the UPS modules.
Provided the average temperature remains below 25°C, brief excursions in excess of this value are permitted.
Number Of Batteries
The number of batteries, EOD voltage, and float charging voltage must be consistent with the voltage selection
(380V/400V/415V), as shown in Table 6-2.
Table 6-2 Number of batteries
Important
To avoid risks, we recommend using a VERTIV BCB for your external battery.
The external battery must be connected to the UPS via the BCB. The BCB can be closed manually and is equipped with
an electronic tripping device controlled by the UPS control circuit. In the case of rack-mounted batteries (or batteries
that are installed at a distance from the UPS cabinet), the BCB must be installed as close to the battery as possible, and
the length of the power and signal cables connected to the UPS must be kept to minimum.
The UPS provides the following advantages:
Safe, reliable battery isolation
Short circuit protection
If the inverter is locked because of battery under-voltage, the circuit breaker will be opened
automatically in order to avoid over-discharging the battery.
If the remote EPO button is installed, the EPO button can be used to open the circuit breaker
Protection against misuse
To obtain the required backup time, the batteries may be connected in parallel. In this case, the BCB must be installed
downstream of the battery parallel connection point.
Note
Only trained personnel may operate and service the battery circuit breaker.
Battery Installation
1. Before installation, check the batteries for damage, inspect and count the accessories, and carefully read this manual
and the user manual or installation instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
2. There must be a vertical gap of at least 10 mm between the batteries in order to ensure the free circulation of the
ambient air between the batteries.
3. A certain amount of clearance shall be maintained between the top of the batteries and the next layer in order to
facilitate battery monitoring and service operations.
4. Install the batteries starting from the bottom layer and working upwards, in order to avoid creating a high centre of
gravity. The battery shall be properly installed and protected against vibration and/or impacts.
Battery Connections
1. All the battery cabinets or battery racks must be connected and properly grounded.
2. When multiple battery strings are used, they shall be connected first in series and then in parallel. Before switching the
UPS on and connecting it to the load, check that the total voltage of the batteries is as specified. The negative and
User Manual 10H52260UM60 - Rev. 1 - 10/2017 71
ITA2
positive poles of the batteries must be connected to the negative and positive battery terminals of the UPS, in
accordance with the labels on the battery and UPS. If the battery connections are inverted it can cause fires or
explosions, and may result in battery and UPS damage or even human injury.
3. When the battery cable connection procedure is complete, install insulating shields on the terminals.
4. When connecting the cable between battery terminal and BCB, the BCB terminal must be connected first.
5. The bending radius of the cable shall be larger than 10D, wherein D is the outer diameter of the cable.
6. When the battery cable is connected, it is prohibited to pull on the battery cable or the cable terminal.
7. Do not cross the battery cables when connecting them, and do not tie the battery cables together.
8. See 8.2.1 Internal Battery Kit for details about the battery connections.
Note
1. Check the battery connection screws at regular intervals. If any loose screws are found, re-tighten them immediately.
2. Make sure that all the safety devices are present, in good condition and that they function correctly, and make sure that the
battery management parameter settings are correct
3. Measure and log the air temperature in the battery room.
4. Check to the battery terminals for damage or signs of heating, and that the battery enclosure and terminal shields are intact.
Warning
1. If you need to service the UPS, please be sure to disconnect cable connections between the UPS and batteries. Failure to observe
this condition may result in electric shock or battery arc risk.
2. Batteries may only be service by qualified personnel and the appropriate protective equipment and clothing must be used at all
times.
When the UPS has been fully shut down, if it is equipped with internal batteries the internal battery terminals will remain
live because there is no switch between the UPS and its internal batteries.
Use the appropriate tools to open the front cover of the battery compartment, and then disconnect the connection
between the UPS and its internal batteries. Refer to Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-3 for details. Wear arc protective gloves and
arc protective clothing when disconnecting the cabinet battery terminals and internal battery terminals. To disconnect
the internal batteries in the standard UPS, simply open the connection terminals between W101 and W107, W102 and
W106, W103 and W108; to disconnect the internal batteries in the UPS with side cabinet, simply open the connection
terminals between W101 and W107, W102 and W106, W103 and W108 first, and then open the connection terminals
between W201 and W207, W202 and W206, W203 and W208. Refer to Figure 6-2 for instructions on disconnecting the
terminals.
Once the above operations are complete, the UPS is no longer connected to its internal batteries. At this
point it is safe to carry out maintenance work on the UPS since the battery terminals are completely de-
energized.
Once the maintenance work is complete, please wear arc protective gloves and arc protective clothing when
reconnecting the cabinet battery terminals and internal battery terminals. To reconnect the internal batteries in the
standard UPS, simply restore the connection terminals between W101 and W107, W102 and W106, W103 and W108; to
reconnect the internal batteries in the UPS with side cabinet, simply restore the connection terminals between W101 and
W107, W102 and W106, W103 and W108 first, and then the connection terminals between W201 and W207, W202 and
W206, W203 and W208.
Use a multimeter to check and ensure that the cabinet internal battery terminal poles are correct. Finally, replace the
front cover of battery compartment.
Warning
1. If maintenance is required, wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge.
2. Hazardous voltages may be present on some parts of the UPS, even when the rectifier input switch, bypass input switch and
battery switch are disconnected. Therefore, UPS maintenance should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
7.1 General
The parallel system may include up to four UPS modules of the same power rating and connected in parallel, without the
need for a centralized mains static bypass device. The bypass static switches of the individual UPS modules share the
load when the system transfers to the mains bypass supply.
From a 'power' viewpoint, each module is internally identical to the 'single module' configuration. A parallel system
requires inter-module control signals to manage load sharing, synchronizing and bypass switching. The control signals
are connected by means of the parallel cables, which are multi-way ribbon cables connected between the units of the
system to form a ring.
Preliminary Checks
Make sure that correct parallel cable option has been selected, and that the module ratings, model, and software and
hardware releases are consistent.
Warning
To achieve coordinated operation of the modules in the parallel system, each module must be configured separately using the
VERTIV setting software. This must be done by VERTIV service personnel.
Cabinet Installation
Place the UPS modules side by side and interconnect them as shown in Figure 7-1. The output distribution mode (Q1EXT,
Q2EXT must be configured) shown in Figure 7-1 is recommended to facilitate maintenance and system testing.
Figure 7-1 Circuit diagram of typical parallel system (with common input, separate batteries and output)
Power Cables
The power cable wiring is similar to that of the UPS module. Refer to 3.1 Wiring Power Cables.
The bypass and rectifier input supplies must be use the same neutral line input terminal. If the input is fitted with a
current leakage protection device, the device must be fitted upstream of the neutral line input terminal.
Note
The power cables (including the bypass input cables and UPS output cables) of each UPS module should be of the same length and
specifications to facilitate load sharing.
Parallel cables
Shielded and double-insulated parallel cables must be interconnected in a ring configuration between the UPS modules,
as shown in Figure 7-2. Method: connect a parallel cable between the PARA1 port on one module and the PARA2 port on
the next module. Repeat this step for all the other parallel cables.
The ring connection ensures the reliability of the control of the parallel system. Be sure to verify that the cables are
connected securely before starting up the system!
Note
Warning
If UPS the input uses RCD devices, the differential switch should only used on the system bypass mains supply. At the moment of
electrical connection, current may not be immediately separated, which may cause the respective RCCB devices to trip.
Proceed one step at a time, and only move on to the next time when the current operation has been completed for all the
UPS modules in the system.
These procedures are used to start the UPS starting from the fully switched off condition, which means that neither the
UPS or the maintenance bypass switch have supplied power to the load before. Make sure UPS has been completely
installed and commissioned by the engineer, and the external power supply switch is in the off position
Warning
Use the following procedures to switch the UPS on when it is in the fully switched off state.
1. Confirm that all the external maintenance bypass switches are in the off position. Ensure that the internal maintenance
bypass switch Q3 is in the off position, and that the input cables and copper bars and the parallel cables are connected
securely.
Warning
To avoid generating spurious fault messages, whenever it is necessary to switch the maintenance bypass switch to the on or off
position, the operation must be completed within three seconds.
Warning
If the UPS system consists of more then 2 UPS modules in parallel, and the load capacity exceeds the single module capacity, do
not use the internal maintenance bypass switch.
This operation will transfer the load from the UPS power supply protection state to direct connection with AC input
bypass state.
Before performing this procedure, you should check the LED information first, and make sure the bypass is normal and
synchronized with the inverter. Failure to do so may result in a brief interruption in the power supply to the load.
1. Remove the maintenance bypass switch baffle retaining screws, rotate the baffle upwards until it is locked in position,
and then fasten the retaining screws. Refer to Figure 5-13.
At this point, the system Interlock function has been activated and the UPS will transfer to internal bypass mode; you
should confirm that the UPS has been transferred to internal bypass mode.
2. After confirming, close the maintenance bypass switch Q3.
3. Disconnect the output switch Q5. At this point the load is powered by the maintenance bypass.
Caution
When the UPS is in maintenance bypass mode, the load is not protected against abnormalities in the mains power supply.
4. Unplugging the REPO terminal deactivates the rectifier, inverter, static switch and battery, but does not affect the
maintenance bypass power supply to the load.
Note
In maintenance mode, the load is fed directly by the mains power instead, of the pure AC power from the inverter.
5. If the UPS is equipped with an external battery, set the corresponding external battery switch to the off position until
all the UPS modules have been disconnected from the batteries.
Warning
1. If maintenance is required, wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge.
2. Hazardous voltages may be present on some parts of the UPS, even when the rectifier input switch, bypass input switch and
battery switch are disconnected. Therefore, UPS maintenance should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
Important
These procedures may only be carried out by VERTIV service personnel, or under their supervision.
Warning
Before operation, confirm that the system capacity has sufficient redundancy to avoid system shut down due to overload.
The following procedures apply when it is necessary to isolate one UPS module from the parallel system for repair due to
serious malfunction:
1. Unplugging the REPO terminal deactivates the rectifier, inverter, static switch and battery, while the other UPS modules
in the parallel system continue to supply the load as normal.
2. If the UPS is equipped with an external battery, simply set the corresponding external battery switch to off.
3. Set the rectifier input switch Q1, bypass input switch Q2 and output switch Q5 to off.
At this point, all the internal power supplies are deactivated and the LCD screen is switched off.
4. If the UPS is equipped with internal batteries, make sure that that they have been isolated from the UPS before
carrying out maintenance work on it. Refer to 6.10 Disconnecting or Connecting Internal Battery Terminals for details.
Warning
1. Post a label on the AC input distribution line (generally at a distance from the UPS) to alert personnel that UPS maintenance is in
progress.
2. Wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge. Then the UPS is completely shut down.
Important
These procedures may only be carried out by VERTIV service personnel, or under their supervision.
The following procedures are used to reintegrate a UPS module that has been previously isolated from the parallel
system:
1. If the UPS his equipped with internal batteries, be sure to restore the connection between the UPS and internal
batteries after completing maintenance work on the UPS. Refer to 6.10 Disconnecting or Connecting Internal Battery
Terminals for details. Next, close the rectifier input switch Q1.
At this point, the system is switched on.
2. Close the bypass input switch Q2.
3. Close the output switch Q5, and press the power button for two seconds.
In order to shut the UPS down completely and disconnect the power supply to the load, proceed as follows: All power
switches, isolating switches and breakers are switched to off, and the UPS no longer supplies power to the load.
Caution
The following procedures will interrupt the power supply to the load, switching it off.
1. Unplug the REPO terminal on each UPS to deactivate the rectifier, inverter, static switch and battery.
2. If the UPS is equipped with an external battery, set the corresponding external battery switch to the off position until
all the UPS modules have been disconnected from the batteries.
3. Set the rectifier input switch Q1 and bypass input switch Q2 on each UPS to off. At this point, all the internal power
supplies are deactivated and the LCD screen is switched off.
4. Set the output switch Q5 on each UPS to off.
5. If the UPS his equipped with internal batteries, be sure to open the connection between the UPS and internal batteries.
Warning
1. Post a label on the AC input distribution line (generally at a distance from the UPS) to alert personnel that UPS maintenance is in
progress.
2. Wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge. Then the UPS is completely shut down.
Hazardous voltages are still present on the battery terminals, even after the UPS has been shut down.
Procedures for Shutting Down the UPS Completely While Maintaining Power to the Load
The following procedures may be used to shut the UPS down completely are applicable for completely, while maintaining
the power supply to the load. Refer to the procedures in 7.3.2 Operating Procedures in Maintenance Bypass Mode.
Cabinet Installation
An LBS system consists of two independent UPS systems, each consisting of two parallel UPS modules, as shown in
Figure 7-3. The LBS system provides high reliability, which makes it suitable for use with loads having multiple input
terminals. In the case of single-input loads, an STS may be installed to power the load.
The system uses the LBS cables to synchronise the outputs of two independent (or parallel) UPS systems.
Place the UPS modules side by side and interconnect the UPS modules according to the following instructions.

In a dual-bus system, the two UPS systems must have the same power rating, voltage and frequency, and the load must not exceed
the power rating of a single UPS module system.
The power cable of dual-bus power system is similar to that of single system. Refer to 3.1 Connecting the Power Cables.
LBS Cable
Note
1. The appearance of the LBS port is the same as the parallel port (see Figure 3-6).
2. In the case of dual bus systems consisting of parallel UPS units, we recommend preparing two LBS cables for connecting any two
parallel/LBS ports of the two parallel system, in order to guarantee a secure connection.
UPS2 UPS1
The LBS is the load synchronisation system, and is used to synchronise the output voltage phases of the two sections of
the UPS system. The two sections of the UPS system may consist of two single UPS units, or two UPS parallel systems.
'Master' and 'Slave' may be set-up manually via the LCD screen.
The UPS selected as the LBS master can send synchronization signals to LBS slave based on its inverter voltage phase.
After the slave receives the synchronization signal sent by the master, it will adjust its inverter voltage phase so that it is
synchronised with the master.
Thanks to this system, it is possible to synchronise the two sections of the UPS system, guaranteeing reliable transfer
between the respective output voltages and the STS, and hence a reliable, uninterrupted power supply to the load.

Note
The UPS is set to 3-in 3-out mode by default. If you need to convert it to 3-in 1-out mode, contact VERTIV authorized personnel for
the corresponding settings.
b) Install the copper shorting bars on the input terminals (mA, bA, bB, bC), and use the output shorting copper bars to
connect the output terminals (oA, oB, oC) together. See Figure 8-17.
c) Connect the phase A input cables to the input copper shorting bars, and connect the input N line to the neutral
terminal 'N' in the cabinet. Connect the phase B and phase C cables respectively to terminals mB and mC, and then
connect the I/O earth cables to the PE terminal in the cabinet.
d) Connect the output cable to the output copper shorting bar, and the output N line to the output N copper shorting bar.
e) Connect the battery positive, battery N and battery negative respectively to the Bat+, N, Bat- terminals.
2. 3-in 1-out, split bypass configuration
a) Remove the three copper shorting bars from the rectifier input terminals mA, mB and mC, see Figure 8-18.
b) Install the bypass input copper shorting bars to terminals (bA, bB, bC), and use the output shorting copper bars to
connect the output terminals (oA, oB, oC) together. See Figure 8-19.
Warning
To avoid generating spurious fault messages, whenever it is necessary to switch the maintenance bypass switch to the on or off
position, the operation must be completed within three seconds.
2. Before switching the system on, use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the rectifier terminals (mA-mB-mC), and
make sure that there are no circuits; if so, check that the connections are correct.
3. Unplug the REPO terminal at rear of the cabinet, and then close the rectifier input switch Q1, at this point the system is
switched on.
4. Press , and access -> Settings (default password is ‘111111’) -> Output -> Output phase No., then set the system to ‘1
phase’. After the system is switched off, switch it on again, access this menu once more and confirm that this setting has
been applied.
5. Set the rectifier input switch Q1 to the off position to shut the UPS down completely.
6. Plug-in the REPO terminal, close the UPS bypass input switch Q2 and the rectifier input switch Q1 in that order.
At this point, the system is switched on.
7. After the rectifier starts, close the output switch Q5 and all the external output isolation switches (if any).
8. Press the power button for two seconds to start the inverter.
This kit contains three bypass fuses (one fuse for each phase) designed to guarantee the UPS withstand short circuit at
30kVA. If this kit is installed, please refer to Figure 8-21 for the fuse blow-out curve when choosing the UPS downstream
switch and transformer load.
Note
Never attempt to carry out maintenance on the UPS while it is on line. Ensure that the UPS has been switched off completely when
performing any internal maintenance operations on it.
Note
In order to avoid injury or damaging the device, wait until the fan is completely stationary before inserting fingers or any tools into
it.
The UPS fans are expected to run for 20,000 hours ~ 40,000 hours in continuous operation. The higher the ambient
temperature, the shorter the fan life.
During the UPS operation, it is important to check the condition of the fans at least once a year by confirming that they
blow air out of the ventilation holes on the rear panel.
Warning
The internal UPS battery module houses a sealed, lead-acid, maintenance-free battery. The battery life depends on the
ambient temperature, and charge and discharge times. High ambient temperatures and heavy discharge cycles will
shorten the battery life.
To preserve the battery life, it is necessary to:
Maintain the ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C
Prevent small current discharge. DO NOT operate the UPS in battery mode for periods in excess of 24 hours.
Charge the battery for at least 12 hours if it hasn't been charged for three months while the ambient temperature remains
within the specified limits, or two months in the event of high ambient temperatures
Note
1. Check the battery connection screws at regular intervals, and re-tighten them if necessary.
2. Make sure that all the safety devices are present, in good condition and that they function correctly, and make sure that the
battery management parameter settings are correct.
3. Measure and log the ambient temperature in the battery room.
4. Check whether the battery terminals are damaged or hot, and check the condition of the cases and the covers.
If any of the batteries are found to be leaking, place them in a suitable container and dispose of them in accordance with
local regulations.
Lead-acid batteries are classified as hazardous waste material. The control of waste battery pollution is a nationally
important issue. Batteries must be stored, transported, used and disposed of in accordance with national and local legal
requirements and all other criteria applicable to the treatment of hazardous waste material and waste battery pollution
prevention.
Note
Checking the UPS functions may interrupt the power supply to the load!
