2.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the Liebert® NX™ environmental requirements and mechanical considerations
that must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
Because every 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.
2.1 External Inspections
1. While the UPS system is still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container(s) 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 within 24 hours and contact
Emerson Network Power® Liebert Services at 1-800-LIEBERT 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 Liebert representative immediately.
2.2 Internal Inspections
1. Remove any packaging material, then visually examine the UPS and battery equipment for
transit damage, both internally and externally. Report any such damage to the shipper and to
Liebert immediately.
2. Check the nameplate inside the cabinet door to verify that the model number and rating
correspond to the ones specified. Record the model number and serial number in the front of this
installation manual. This information is necessary should service be required.
3. Check for loose connections or unsecured components in the cabinet.
4. Check for shipping damage to internal components.
!
WARNING
Do not apply electrical power to the UPS equipment before the arrival of the commissioning
engineer.
!
WARNING
The UPS equipment should be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the
information contained in this section.
!
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury and death.
Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with this equipment.
When connected together, the nominal battery voltage is 480VDC and is potentially lethal.
• Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.
• Remove rings, watches and all other metal objects.
• Use only tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves.
If a battery leaks electrolyte or is otherwise physically damaged, it must be replaced, stored in
a container resistant to sulfuric acid and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
If electrolyte comes into contact with skin, the affected area should be washed immediately
with large amounts of water.
NOTE
The Liebert NX UPS can be used in TN utility system.
Installation
8
2.2.1 Storing for Delayed Installation
If the equipment will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors where the humidity is no
higher than 90% and the temperature is no higher than 104°F (40°C). The storage area must protect
the Liebert® NX™ from excessive moisture (see 6.2 - UPS Environmental).
2.3 Preliminary Checks
2.3.1 Identification
The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the back of the main door listing the type and
size of the UPS.
2.4 UPS Location
2.4.1 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 efficiency
2.4.2 Environmental Considerations
Before installing the Liebert NX, verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions
stipulated in 6.2 - 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 and battery system performance and service life, maintain the operating
temperature within the range of 74-80°F, (23-27°C).
The Liebert NX UPS 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. Ventilation clearance above the unit
must be a minimum of 8 in. (203mm).
See Table 7 for details on heat dissipation.
NOTE
If the battery cabinet must remain disconnected from power for more than six (6) months, the
battery must be recharged before use. To charge the batteries, the battery cabinet must be
connected to the Liebert NX UPS and the UPS must be connected to utility power and started
up because the charger operates only while the Liebert NX UPS is operating
NOTE
When batteries are installed in a cabinet adjacent to the UPS unit, the battery—not the
UPS—dictates the designed maximum ambient operating temperature.
Installation
9
Battery Location
Batteries must be installed in Liebert® NX™ 480V battery cabinets or battery room. Temperature is a
major factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery manufacturers recommend an
operating temperature of 77°F (25°C). Ambient temperatures higher than this reduce battery life;
temperatures lower than this reduce 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.
2.4.3 Special Considerations for Parallel Systems
1. Consider the grounding configuration of your system before finalizing module placement. For
optimal ground performance, the Liebert NX modules should be close together.
2. For optimal load-sharing performance, the UPS output cables should be approximately the same
length, plus or minus 20 percent.
3. Position modules in such a way as to minimize the length of power cables and control wiring
between UPS modules and the paralleling cabinet.
2.5 Considerations in Moving the Liebert NX
Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft2 or kg/cm2) of any
handling equipment. See Table 7 for weights of various units.
To move the UPS and optional battery cabinets:
• The Liebert NX may be rolled on its casters when moving the unit a short distance. For longer dis-
tances, move the UPS with a forklift or similar equipment to ease the relocation and to reduce
vibration.
The optional battery cabinets should be moved with a forklift or similar equipment.
Final Position
When the equipment has been finally positioned, ensure that the adjustable stops are set so that the
UPS will remain stationary and stable (see 8.0 - Installation Drawings).
!
WARNING
Risk of heavy unit falling. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the Liebert NX has sufficient lifting
capacity. The Liebert NX weight ranges from 1180 to 2201 lb. (535 to 1000kg). See Table 7 for
details. The UPS presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the Liebert NX further 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 NX off its shipping pallet. Do not tilt the unit more than 15
degrees from center.
!
WARNING
Risk of heavy unit falling. 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.
Care must be taken when maneuvering cabinets fitted with batteries. Keep such moves to a
minimum. For further information, see Battery Cabinet Precautions on page 3.
Installation
10
2.6 Mechanical Considerations
The Liebert NX 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 connections bars,
auxiliary terminal blocks and power switches.
The UPS comes with an operator control panel, which provides basic operational status and alarm
information. 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.
2.6.1 Clearances
There are no ventilation grilles on the sides or rear of the UPS. The unit may be placed with the rear
against a wall and optional cabinets on either side.
To enable routine tightening of power terminations within the UPS, make sure there is sufficient
clearance in front of the Liebert® NX™ to permit free passage of personnel with the door fully opened.
Leave a minimum of 8 in. (203mm) between the top of the UPS and the ceiling to permit adequate air
circulation above the unit. Liebert recommends against using air conditioning or other systems that
blow air onto the top of the unit.
2.6.2 Floor Installation
The diagrams in 8.0 - Installation Drawings show the location of holes in the base plate for bolting
the equipment to the floor.
If the equipment is to be placed on a raised floor, it should be mounted on a pedestal that will support
the equipment point loading. Refer to the cabinet-bottom views in 8.0 - Installation Drawings to
design this pedestal.
2.6.3 Cable Entry
Cables can enter the Liebert NX from the top or bottom. Cable entry is made possible by removing a
metal plate attached to the UPS.
These plates are designed to allow the personnel to punch holes for fitting and securing the conduit.
Once the conduit holes are punched, these plates should be reattached to the UPS.
System Composition
A UPS system can comprise a number of equipment cabinets, depending on the individual system
design requirements—e.g., UPS cabinet with External Bypass cabinet and Maintenance Bypass
cabinet. In general, all cabinets used will be the same height and are designed to be positioned side-
by-side to form an aesthetically appealing equipment suite.
!
WARNING
Risk of explosion and fire. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with correct amperes maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection (see Table 8) in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE
When installing the UPS, the customer must provide a disconnect with overcurrent protection
at the output of the UPS.
Installation
11
2.6.4 Optional Cabinets
The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be cabled and bolted to the Liebert NX before the UPS and
bypass cabinet are moved into their final position. Connect the input wiring to the Maintenance
Bypass Cabinet ONLY after the units are connected and positioned.
Battery cabinets may be bolted to either side of the Liebert NX; see Figure 1.

3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
3.1 Power Cabling
3.1.1 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.
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, includ-
ing the maximum battery recharge current, given in Table 8, 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 8, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.
•Battery cables - When connecting an external battery cabinet, the battery cables must be sized
for the battery discharge current at the end-of-discharge voltage, as given in Table 8, with
respect to the unit rating.
The power cables can be sized to suit the UPS unit rating according to Table 8.
Lug Size and Torque Requirements
Refer to Table 34 for lug size and torque requirements.
!
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury and death.
Before connecting input power to the Liebert® NX™, 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.
NOTE
Table 8 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.
NOTE
When installing a Liebert NX with Softscale™ capability Liebert recommends sizing the input,
bypass and output cabling for the UPS’s maximum rating. Properly sizing the cable will
reduce the work required to upgrade the UPS.
Electrical Connections
14
3.1.2 UPS Input Configuration
Figure 3 illustrates the Liebert® NX™ in a split bypass (dual-input) configuration. In this
configuration, the Static Bypass and the Maintenance Bypass lines are supplied from a separate feed
from the Main input. Both sources must be protected externally with properly sized protective
devices. By default, the unit ships with internal links installed between the bypass input and main
input (Single Input configuration). To wire the unit as a dual input UPS, remove the links and wire
the bypass to the input bus bars, then wire the main input directly to CB1 (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 Single module block diagram—dual input configuration
3.1.3 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. The ground conductor should be sized in accordance with the input overcurrent protection device
data in Table 8. 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.
2. Consider using paralleled smaller cables for heavy currents—this can ease installation.
3. When sizing battery cables, a maximum voltage drop of 4VDC is permissible at the current
ratings in UPS terminal. For terminal connection sizing, see Table 8.
4. In most installations, especially parallel multi-module systems, 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.
5. When laying power cables, do not form coils; this will help avoid increasing formation of
electromagnetic interference.
NOTE
If more load is added to the distribution panel, the unit’s cabling must be resized.

3.1.4 Cable Connections
The rectifier input, bypass and output are easily accessible from the front of the unit for installation.
All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the front side of the Liebert® NX™
and below the circuit breaker, as shown in Figure 3. These busbars are accessible when the front
side panel is removed. Busbars to connect external batteries are accessible from the front of the UPS.
3.1.5 Safety Ground
The safety ground busbar is located below the Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker or to the right of
the UPS Output breaker for 160-200KVA models as shown in Figure 3. The safety ground cable must
be connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each cabinet in the system.
All cabinets and cable conduit should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
3.1.6 Protective Devices
For safety, it is necessary to install circuit breakers in the input AC supply and external battery
battery cabinets, 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 6.4 - UPS
Electrical Characteristics and Table 9 for overload capacity.
When an external battery supply not made by Liebert is used, the customer must provide
overcurrent protection for the battery circuit.
• Dual Input
When wiring the UPS with dual inputs, the Rectifier input and the Bypass input must be
protected separately. Size the breakers according to the input currents shown in Table 8.
NOTE
External connection access requires removal of a protective panel on the lower front of the UPS.
NOTE
There is no battery fuse in the UPS; the battery cabinet must include a circuit breaker
to cut off the current in case of short circuit. Refer to Table 8 for current ratings.
!
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock from ground fault. Can cause injury and death.
Failure to follow proper grounding procedures can result in electric shock hazard to personnel
or the risk of fire, should a ground fault occur.
NOTE
Proper grounding significantly reduces electromagnetic interference problems in systems.
NOTE
The ground busbar is easily accessible when the lower protective cover plate is removed.

4.0 BATTERY INSTALLATION
4.1 Introduction
If using multiple sets of batteries connected in parallel to provide the required battery backup run
times, fit each set with an isolating device to permit working on one of the battery sets while leaving
the others in service and providing backup protection.
When replacing batteries, replace with the same manufacturer and type, or equivalent. See your
Liebert® representative for a list of approved batteries.
4.2 Safety
Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with the Liebert NX™
system equipment. When all batteries are connected together, the battery terminal voltage may
exceed 480V and is POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury, property damage and death.
Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with this equipment.
Batteries are always live. Battery terminal voltage will exceed 480VDC and is potentially
lethal.
In addition to the hazard of electric shock, gas produced by batteries can be explosive and
sulfuric acid can cause severe burns.
Batteries should be installed, serviced and replaced only by properly trained and qualified
service personnel trained in safe battery handling methods and who have the correct PPE
(Personal Protection Equipment) and tools.
The following precautions should be observed when working with the batteries:
• Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from electrical arcs.
• Remove rings, watches and all other metal objects.
• Use only tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• When replacing batteries, replace them with the same type and number of batteries or bat-
tery packs.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is
toxic.
• Never lay metal objects of any type on top of the batteries.
• Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• Determine whether the battery is grounded. If the battery is grounded, remove source of
the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The
likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
!
CAUTION
Risk of explosion and fire. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with correct amperes maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection (see Table 12) in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE
The maximum available fault current from the battery supply is 8500A and the DC voltage
rating of the battery supply overcurrent protective device that is to be installed near the battery
supply must be at least 600VDC.

4.3 External Battery Cabinet Installation
4.3.1 Battery Cabinets
Figure 9 Battery cabinets for Liebert® NX™
The same model battery cabinet may be installed in parallel in multiple cabinet striSngs for additional
capacity. Battery run time depends on the cabinet model, the number of cabinets and the load on the UPS.
Handling—The battery cabinet has casters to facilitate movement over short distances. The bottoms
of the battery cabinets are reinforced to permit movement by forklift over longer distances.
Inspection—Remove all panels and visually inspect the batteries, bus connections and cabinet for
any damage. Exercise caution: voltage is present within the battery cabinet even before installation.
If there are signs of damage, do not proceed. Call Liebert Services at 1-800-542-2378.
Storage—The batteries can be stored for up to six months without appreciable deterioration. If
planning to store a battery cabinet for longer than six months or at temperatures higher than 77°F
(25°C), contact Liebert Services for recommended precautions.
When installing an external battery cabinet that is NOT a Liebert NX battery cabinet, the customer
must provide overcurrent protection. See Table 8 for sizing of protection devices.
!
CAUTION
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury and death.
Any battery system should be installed by properly trained and qualified personnel.
NOTE
When using an external battery supply that is not provided by Liebert, refer to the battery
manufacturer’s installation manual for battery installation and maintenance instructions,
available on the manufacturer’s Web site.
NOTE
When replacing batteries, Liebert recommends that the all batteries in external cabinets be the
same type. See Table 11 for a list of batteries that are approved for use with this product.

4.3.2 Connecting the Batteries
If the Liebert® NX™ battery cabinets are installed on a raised floor, the battery power cables and
circuit breaker control cables may be routed to the UPS cabinet via the floor of the cabinet (bottom
entry).
If the Liebert NX battery cabinets are installed adjacent to one another on a solid floor, these cables
may be passed between the cabinets through lifting slots in the lower sides of the cabinets.
Intertray connections must be made before the battery cabinet can be used.
Figure 10 Battery cabinet—details
4.3.3 Installation Considerations
Position— If the system includes a matching maintenance bypass cabinet (MBC), the MBC should
be installed first and the battery cabinet installed on the opposite side of the UPS. Otherwise, left-
side placement of the battery cabinet is preferable.
The battery cabinet(s) are designed to be located conveniently next to each UPS module, and are also
available in stand-alone configurations with painted side panels. The front access design eliminates
side and rear service clearance requirements. Refer to Table 38 for battery cabinet dimensions and
weights.
Bolt-On Cabinets—Matching battery cabinets are designed to bolt onto the side of the UPS module
cabinet. Use bolts that ship with each unit to connect cabinet frames at posts, two places in the front
and two places in the rear.
Service Clearance—Allow front access to the battery cabinet at all times for maintenance and
servicing. Electrical codes require that the battery cabinet be installed with no less than 3 feet (1m) of
clearance at the front of the cabinet when operating. Side and rear panels do not require service
clearance.
Cables—Cables may be run between the cabinets through cutouts in the top of the cabinet,
eliminating the need for external conduit runs. Route cables before moving cabinets into final position
for bolting together. No top or bottom entry cables are required, except for remotely located cabinets
which require conduits.
Software—To allow the UPS to accurately display the battery run time, the number of battery
cabinets must be noted when performing initial startup and setup using the configuration software.
This is to be performed by the Liebert Services customer engineer when commissioning the unit.
Casters and Adjustable Stops—The adjustable stops are not designed to bear the full weight of the
cabinet. Lower the stops until they are finger-tight in contact with the floor. Then tighten a small
amount with a wrench (less than two turns) to give a good friction fit. When mounting the battery
cabinet on seismic stands, ensure that the casters are bearing the weight of the cabinet.
Battery Support Tray—Be sure to connect the battery tray support to the front of the cabinet
before sliding a battery tray out for connection or service. Without the support, the battery tray may
fall out of the cabinet. See Figure 11 for details.

4.3.4 Connecting the Battery Cabinet to the UPS
After the battery cabinet equipment has been positioned and secured for operation and the batteries
have been connected, connect the power cables as described below.
1. Verify that all incoming high and low voltage power circuits are de-energized and locked out or
tagged out before installing cables or making any electrical connections.
2. Remove the UPS front protective cover to gain access to the equipment ground busbar.
3. Connect the safety ground and any necessary bonding ground cables to the copper ground busbar.
(example: UPS located on the bottom of the equipment below the power connections).
All cabinets in the UPS system must be connected to the user's ground connection.
4. Connect the system battery cables. Be sure that the battery connections are made with the right
polarity, and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in. (5 N-m) (M6 Bolt). Do not close the battery circuit
breaker before the equipment has been commissioned.
5. Connect supplied auxiliary control cable to pins J10.2 and J10.3 on the U2 monitoring board (see
3.3 - Dry Contacts).
4.4 Non-Standard Batteries
When batteries other than a matching battery cabinet are used, a remote battery disconnect switch
with overcurrent protection is required per the National Electrical Code. Contact your local Liebert®
sales representative about this option.
Install battery racks, cabinets and batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Verify that the battery area has adequate ventilation and battery operating temperature complies
with the manufacturer's specifications and with all applicable national and local codes.
If you have any questions concerning batteries, battery racks or accessories, contact Liebert Services
at 1-800-543-2378.
NOTE
The grounding bonding arrangement must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and all applicable local codes.

4.5 BCB Shunt Trip
The Liebert NX battery cabinet has the shunt trip installed in the circuit breaker. When a DC ground
fault (using the optional DC Ground Fault kit), a battery overtemperature or EPO is activated, the
shunt trip will open the circuit breaker.
4.6 Alber Monitoring System—Optional
The Liebert® matching battery cabinet allows installing an optional Alber® battery monitoring system
in the cabinet. The Alber Battery Monitoring by Liebert continuously checks all critical battery
parameters, such as cell voltage, overall string voltage, current and temperature. Automatic periodic
tests of internal resistance of each battery will verify the battery’s operating integrity. Additional
capabilities include automatic internal DC resistance tests and trend analysis providing the ability to
analyze performance and aid in troubleshooting.
The Alber monitoring system is installed inside the battery cabinet (see Figure 9). The monitoring
system requires approximately 0.5A, single-phase 480V.
This power can come from the output terminals of the UPS, a distribution panel, or another
UPS-protected source. This power is to be field supplied. See Figure 37 for wiring location.
For details about operating the Alber system, see the Alber Monitoring System manual.
NOTE
The Liebert NX battery Cabinet circuit breaker will not open at the end of a battery discharge.
The UPS will isolate the batteries internally in this situation.
NOTE
This power must be UPS protected.

5.0 OPTIONS
5.1 Load Bus Synchronization
The Load Bus Synchronizer (LBS) keeps the output of two independent UPS systems or parallel UPS
systems in synchronization even when the systems are operating in different modes and even when
either or both systems are operating on batteries. When the LBS is used, one UPS system is
designated as master, the other as slave.
The LBS option is typically used with dual-corded equipment or with either the Liebert®
SmartSwitch™ or Liebert Static Transfer Switch™ (STS) for single-corded equipment.
5.1.1 Performance Requirements
The LBS operates under the following conditions:
• Both master and slave are on inverter
(either system may be on inverter through the rectifier or on inverter through the batteries)
• Master on inverter and slave on bypass
• Master on bypass and slave on inverter
• Master and slave on bypass IF the bypass source is the same for both systems
5.1.2 LBS Cable and Settings
For Liebert NX™-to-Liebert NX dual bus configuration, only one optional LBS cable is required, the
built-in LBS will operate normally without an extra LBS control box or interface box. The LBS port is
X4 on the Parallel Board (M3). The Parallel Board is on the interior of the Liebert NX, above and left
of the power electronics; see Figures 30 and 33.
An optional, 9-pin LBS cable is used to connect two UPS systems through each system’s DB9 port on
its Parallel Board. For two parallel systems, the LBS cable can be mounted between any two units
belonging to different parallel systems. For information about the LBS kit or to order the optional
equipment, see your local Liebert representative.
The LBS cable is connected as illustrated in Figures 12 and 13.

5.2 Configuring Parallel Sbasystem Operation
5.2.1 General
The Liebert® NX™ uses intelligent and reliable decentralized technology to achieve parallel operation
of two or more modules.
The parallel system is used to:
• Increase the reliability of the system to ensure adequate power supply to the critical load con-
nected.
• Increase serviceability and allow the execution of maintenance operations and repairs without
affecting the ordinary operating conditions of the system (depending on the redundancy level).
5.2.2 Features of Parallel System
• The controls for parallel UPS module operation are standard in the Liebert NX, and the configu-
ration can be set up by changing the settings in configuration software.
• It is easy to install the parallel cables in a ring, providing high reliability and redundancy. And
the intelligent paralleling logic provides the user with maximum flexibility. For example, shut-
ting down or starting up the UPS modules in the parallel system can be done in any sequence. If
an overload transfer occurs, the whole system can recover automatically from bypass mode after
the overload is cleared.
• The total load of the parallel system can be queried from each module’s liquid crystal display
screen.

5.2.3 Operating Principles
Redundancy Paralleling
The parallel redundant system can noticeably improve system reliability. In normal condition, none of
the UPS modules work at full load. That means that even if the load is increased, the system will not
transfer to bypass. And when a UPS module shuts down due to any failure, the remaining UPS
modules can still power and protect the load. When redundancy is lost due to module failure or load
increase, the parallel system will trigger an alarm.
5.2.4 Operation Modes Summary
The parallel system also has operation modes such as normal, battery, bypass and maintenance
bypass. All UPS modules in the parallel system operate in coordination.
•Normal Mode Operation
The load is powered by the inverters of all the UPS modules in the system. If the frequency of
bypass is within the synchronous range, the inverter will be synchronized with the bypass.
Otherwise, the system will operate at nominal frequency.
•Battery Mode Operation
The batteries of all UPS modules power the load through their inverters. The system operates at
nominal frequency.
•Bypass Mode Operation
The condition to transfer to bypass mode is essentially the same as that of single module system.
The bypass of all the UPS modules powers the load.
•Maintenance Bypass Mode Operation
The sequence to transfer to maintenance bypass mode is the same as for transferring a single-
module system. The maintenance bypass switches should be switched on as synchronously as
possible. Thus the system can be repaired without interrupting the power supply to critical load.
If ECO mode is selected, the double-conversion UPS operation is inhibited at most times for the
purpose of saving energy. In this mode of operation, not unlike UPS of line-interactive or standby
technology, the bypass is the preferred source. Only when the voltage and/or frequency of the
bypass supply is beyond pre-defined and adjustable limits is the critical AC load transferred to
the inverter.
5.3 Installing Parallel System
The basic installation procedure of parallel system is the same as that of single module system. The
following sections introduce only the installation procedures specific to the parallel system.
5.3.1 Conditions for Parallel System
• Each UPS module must have the same bypass source.
• The outputs of all UPS modules are connected altogether.
• The main inputs can be from different sources, but the phase rotation sequence of main inputs,
bypass inputs and outputs must be correct and the same.
• The parallel logic cable and load sharing cable must be connected in a ring correctly (see
Figure 17).
NOTICE
Risk of creating parallel systems with incorrect power ratings. Can cause equipment damage.
When paralleling UPS’s with different power ratings, the power rating of the larger UPS can
be no more than four times the power rating of the smaller UPS.
• 40-80kVA Liebert® NX™ units can be installed in parallel with 80-120kVA Liebert NX
units.
• 80-120kVA Liebert NX units can be installed in parallel with 160-200kVA.
• 40-80kVA Liebert NX units must not be installed in parallel with 160-200kVA Liebert NX
units.

5.3.2 Cabinet Installation
Parallel system composed of two or more UPS modules using parallel cabinet
The UPS modules that will form the parallel system should be placed side-by-side. Each battery
cabinet is placed next to its corresponding UPS module.
The parallel cabinet should be placed in the middle of the system.
5.3.3 Preliminary Checks
Each UPS module should have the same firmware and the same hardware version. Refer to the
instructions in 5.3.1 - Conditions for Parallel System.
5.3.4 Power Cables
Wiring of power cables is similar to that of a single module system (See 3.1 - Power Cabling). The
bypass sources of all modules should be the same, and the outputs should be connected altogether
correctly.
Power cables are field-supplied. Power cables to the UPS’s of the paralleling cabinet must be routed
through either the top or bottom entry access of the UPS.
5.3.5 Parallel Control Cables
Parallel System Control Cables
Make the connections listed below on the parallel logic board (M3) inside the Liebert NX. (See
Figure 30 for the location of the parallel logic board):
Shielded and double-insulated control cables, available in lengths of up to 100 feet (30m), must be
interconnected in a ring configuration between UPS modules as shown below. The ring configuration
ensures high reliability of the control (refer to Figure 17).
Figure 17 Connecting system parallel control cables
NOTE
The system input and/or output circuit breaker is to be field-supplied. See Table 8 for current
rating.
NOTE
The length and specifications of power cables including the bypass input cables and UPS
output cables should be the same, thus the load can be shared evenly in bypass mode.

7.1.1 Bypass Mode
When the Liebert BDC is in Bypass mode, it provides an alternate path for power to the connected
equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance or repair, manual
activation of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the UPS inverter to
the bypass source. In this mode, power will still be supplied to the UPS; however, the load is NOT
protected by the UPS.
7.2 Maintenance Mode
When the Liebert BDC is in Maintenance mode (MBB closed; BIB/MIB open), it provides an alternate
path for power to the connected equipment should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited
maintenance or repair. In this mode of operation, no power is supplied to the UPS and the load is
NOT protected by the UPS.
7.3 Locating the Cabinet
This Liebert BDC may be mounted to the left of the UPS or installed as a stand-alone unit. In either
case, ensure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area and that there is clearance for access to the
switches and cable connections as required by national and local codes.

9.1 General Description
Liebert’s NX provides continuous, high-quality AC power to your business-critical equipment, such as
telecommunications and data processing equipment. The Liebert® NX™ UPS supplies power that is
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 NX utilizes the latest in high-frequency, double-conversion pulse width modulation
technology and fully digital controls to enhance its reliability and increase the ease of use.
Specifically, the Liebert NX 480V utilizes soft-switching technology to greatly enhance efficiency.
As shown in Figure 51, the AC utility source is input at CB1 and the rectifier converts the AC utility
into DC power. The inverter converts that DC power from the utility—or DC power from the
batteries—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 to the maintenance bypass.

Operation

9.1.1 Bypass Supplies
The Liebert® NX™ 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 an 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
bypass 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.
A manually controlled, maintenance bypass supply is incorporated into the UPS design. It enables the
critical load to be powered from the utility (bypass) supply while the UPS is shut down for routine
maintenance.
9.1.2 Operating Modes
The UPS is designed to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer system in the
following modes:
Normal Mode
Operating in normal mode, the Liebert NX’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.
Battery Mode
When utility AC power fails, the Liebert NX protects the critical load by instantaneously channeling
battery power to the inverter, which continues supporting the critical load without interruption.
When utility power returns and is within acceptable limits, the Liebert NX automatically shifts back
to Normal mode, with the rectifier powering the critical load.
Bypass Mode
When the Liebert NX is in bypass mode, the load is directly supported by utility power and is without
battery backup protection.
The Liebert NX’s inverter static switch and bypass static switch will shift the load from the inverter
to bypass mode without an 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 the user
NOTE
When the UPS is operating in bypass mode or on maintenance bypass, the connected
equipment is not protected from power failures or surges and sags.
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 10ms. This interruption time may be altered by modifying the Output transfer
interrupt time setting.
Operation
79
Maintenance Mode
For maintenance or repair, the Liebert® NX™ may be operated in maintenance mode. To place the
Liebert NX in maintenance mode, the load must be transferred to bypass and the inverter must be
turned off. When those conditions are met, the CB3 may be turned on and the UPS may be shut down,
permitting disconnecting the batteries for maintenance.
NOTICE
Risk of improper operation. Can cause loss of power to the load and damage to the UPS.
The internal maintenance bypass must not be used when the UPS system is in a parallel
system. Doing so can cause a backfeed that can damage the UPS and interrupt power to the
load.
Parallel Redundancy Mode (System Expansion)
For higher capacity, higher reliability or both, the outputs of up to four UPS modules can be
programmed for directly paralleling while a built-in parallel controller in each UPS ensures
automatic load-sharing.
Frequency Converter Mode
The Liebert NX can be programmed into frequency converter mode for either 50Hz or 60Hz stable
output frequency. The input frequency may vary from 57Hz to 66Hz. In this mode, the static bypass
operation is disabled and the battery becomes optional, depending on any requirement to operate in
battery mode (stored energy mode).
Eco Mode
If ECO mode is selected, the double-conversion UPS operation is inhibited at most times for the
purpose of saving energy. In this mode of operation, not unlike UPS of line-interactive or stand-by
technology, the bypass is the preferred source, and only when the voltage and/or frequency of the
bypass supply is beyond pre-defined and adjustable limits is the critical AC load transferred to the
inverter. This transfer takes place with an interruption of less than 3/4 of an electrical cycle, e.g., less
than 15ms (50Hz) or less than 12.5ms (60Hz).
!
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause 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.

10.13 Pop-Up Windows
Pop-up prompt windows appear when the user must confirm a choice or perform an operation. This
section describes the pop-up windows.
10.13.1From Bypass to Inverter Mode With Power Interruption
If the bypass voltage or frequency exceeds the synchronized range and
utility voltage or frequency is normal, the inverter cannot be in
synchronization with the bypass, and the output can transfer to
inverter only after an interruption of about 15ms when the user
presses the INVERTER ON button. Before transferring, the system
will let the user confirm whether the interruption can be accepted, as shown at right. If the bypass
voltage returns to normal before the user makes confirmation, the UPS will transfer to inverter mode
automatically. At the same time, the prompt window will close.
10.13.2From Inverter to Bypass Mode With Interruption
If the bypass voltage or frequency exceeds the synchronized range and
the UPS is in inverter mode, the user must confirm and accept the
power interruption danger before pressing the INVERTER OFF
button to shut down the output of the inverter. The user can also
cancel the shutdown operation, as shown at right. If the bypass voltage
returns to normal before the user makes the confirmation, the UPS
will transfer to bypass operation mode automatically, and at the same time the prompt window will
close disappear soon.
10.13.3System Self-Test
When a system self-test is completed, a pop-up window reports the
results of the test, as shown at right.
• Press the F4 (Enter) key and the pop-up window closes.
10.13.4Battery Capacity Test Confirmation
When a battery capacity test is started from the Command menu, the
battery will be discharged to low-battery warning level. The Liebert®
NX™ asks for confirmation before the test is started, as shown at right.
• To confirm the choice and begin the battery capacity test, press the
F4 (Enter) key and the pop-up window disappears.
• To cancel the test, press the F1 (ESC) key. The pop-up window closes.
10.13.5Battery Self-Test Aborted, Condition Not Met
When a battery capacity test is started from the Command menu and
the battery self-test criteria are not met, the Liebert NX will not
perform a battery test. User should check whether the battery state is
boost charging and whether the load level is greater than 20 percent.
• Press the F4 (Enter) key and the pop-up window closes.
10.13.6Battery Refresh Charge Aborted, Condition Not Met
When a battery refreshening charge is started from the Command
menu and battery refreshening condition fails to meet requirements,
the Liebert NX will not perform a battery refreshening charge. User
should check if boost charging condition has not met the test criteria,
such as (No battery, charger failed, etc.).
• Press the F4 (Enter) key and the pop-up window closes.
NOTE
For a battery capacity test to function properly, the load must be between 20% and 100%.

4. Open external battery circuit breaker. This breaker is inside the battery cabinet or is otherwise
adjacent to the battery racks.
5. Open Output circuit breaker CB5.
6. Open bypass input circuit breaker CB2.
7. Ensure maintenance bypass circuit breaker CB3 is open.
8. All mimic panel LED indications and messages will extinguish as the mains-driven, internal
power supplies decay.
9. To completely isolate the UPS from the AC supplies, the main external power input isolator (both
isolators, where dual supplies are provided for rectifier and bypass) and external output isolator
must be opened and tagged with warning labels accordingly.
11.12 Commissioning a Parallel System
Check the input and output wiring of each UPS module. Ensure that the phase rotation sequence of
the main inputs and the bypass inputs and outputs of each UPS module are the same. Ensure that
the parallel cables are connected firmly.
It is assumed that the installation is complete, the system has been commissioned by authorized
personnel and the external power isolators are closed. Disconnect the load before startup.
11.13 Parallel System Startup
1. Start each UPS normally as described in 11.2 - UPS Startup.
2. Turn on the inverter of each UPS module one at a time.
3. Apply the load after the last UPS module transfers to inverter. The total load can be determined
through the LCD of either UPS.
4. Verify the load rate of each UPS module. If the load rates are roughly the same, then the parallel
system may be assumed to be operating normally.

Then verify that the bypass voltage and frequency displayed on the panel is within the bypass
limit. Note here the rated voltage and frequency are specified by “Output voltage level” and
“Output frequency level” respectively.
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 increased through the configuration
software according to the customer’s agreement.
Contact Liebert Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance.
Inverter Asynchronous
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

Unit Overload
The UPS is overloaded when the load arises above 105% nominal rating.
The alarm automatically resets once the overload condition is removed.
Confirm that the alarm is true by checking the load percent indicated on the LCD panel to
determine which phase is being overloaded.
If the alarm is true, measure the actual output current to verify that the indications are valid.
Disconnect unnecessary load. In a parallel system, a severe load sharing error can also lead to
the alarm.
Contact Liebert Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance.
System Overload
The UPS parallel system is overloaded when the total load arises above 105% nominal rating
for the set basic number of UPS units. The alarm resets automatically once the overload
condition is removed.
Confirm that the alarm is true by checking the system load percent indicated on the LCD panel
to determine which phase is being overloaded.
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.
Unit Overload Timeout
The UPS is overloaded 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
transferred to bypass. The inverter shutdown and will restart after 1 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).
Inverter Overcurrent The current of inverter IGBT is over limit. If the fault will not reset, contact Liebert Services at
800-543-2378 for assistance.
Bypass Phase Reversed
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 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 found to be in error. Contact Liebert Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance.
Load Impact Transfer A transfer to bypass occurred due to a large step load. The UPS should recover automatically.
Turn on connected equipment in sequential order to reduce the step loading of the inverter.
Transfer Timeout
The load is on bypass power due to excessive number of transfers that occurred within the last
hour.
The UPS will recover automatically and will transfer the load back to inverter power within an
hour.
Load Sharing Fault UPS units working within a parallel system are not sharing load current correctly. Contact
Liebert Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance.
DC Bus Abnormal Shut off inverter due to abnormal DC bus voltage.
Contact Liebert Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance.
