1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Description
The role of the parallel-redundant multi-module UPS system is to supply uninterruptible, clean power to the crit-
ical load. It maintains a full-voltage, low-distortion output, even if the utility source power sags or becomes dis-
torted.
If there is an outage of the source power, the UPS maintains power to the load until an alternate source of power
is activated, or until the original power source is restored. If input AC power is not restored, the UPS maintains
the load (with the battery plant) long enough that the critical equipment can be shut down in an orderly manner.
The Series 600T UPS module displays the rate of battery discharge and calculates the amount of battery time
remaining based on the actual connected load. The time that the battery will maintain the load depends on the
capacity of the battery backup plant and the size of the load.
The system control logic automatically manages critical bus operation. System logic is resident in Application
Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for precise control and improved reliability.
If the critical load current exceeds the rated load of the Series 600T UPS system, the control logic determines the
magnitude of the overload and reacts appropriately. Overloads are usually the result of inrush current require-
ments. The UPS system supports loads that are 150% of the rated load for up to 30 seconds and 125% of the
rated load for up to ten minutes. If the system is operating in the non-redundant mode (e.g., a UPS module is off
line), the overload limits are automatically adjusted.
Figure 1 Multi-Module UPS, 65-80 kVA (left) and 100-500 kVA (right)
If the load surpasses the overload capacity of the UPS, the load is automatically transferred to bypass without
interruption. When the load returns to within the UPS rating, it is either automatically or manually returned
DISCONTINUED

4 Introduction
(retransferred) to the UPS. How and when the load is returned to the UPS depends on several factors: how long
the overload lasted, how many overload conditions occurred before transfer, whether there is an imminent failure
of any part of the UPS, etc. Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations.
In the unlikely event of a fault within the UPS, the SCC control logic, which continuously monitors all critical
circuits within the UPS system, transfers the load to bypass without interruption and simultaneously sets off local
and remote alarms. If a fault is detected in an individual UPS module, that module is automatically disconnected
from the critical bus and shut down. A Module Off Line status message will appear at the SCC display. The
module can be manually returned to service when the fault has been corrected.
If the multi-module UPS system is operating in the redundant mode (at least one extra module is available for the
connected critical load), the load will remain on the UPS system if one individual module is disconnected from
the critical bus (off line). If the UPS system is operating in the non-redundant mode, the load will be automati-
cally transferred to bypass if a module goes off line.
The Series 600T UPS display system provides precise monitoring of the UPS, fast alarm response, and quick
troubleshooting. For easy manual operations, menu-driven software provides access to several step-by-step help
screens. All operator functions are performed using menu-prompted displays and a minimum number of operator
controls. The System Control Cabinet includes external communication capability with both automatic dial-out
and dial-in features for early warning and diagnosis of abnormal conditions.
The system software allows the operator, or Liebert Global Services, to enter application specific information.
Overload, overvoltage, battery discharge, and shutdown limits can be set by the operator. In effect, the software
is tailored for each site.
The UPS system protects critical equipment from source power disturbances and outages, load faults, and UPS
malfunctions. This triple protection virtually eliminates computer and computing equipment downtime as a
result of utility source power problems.

1.2 Reliability
Reliability is the most important design goal for Uninterruptible Power Systems. Liebert Series 600 UPS systems
have demonstrated reliability by achieving a field-proven critical bus MTBF in excess of one million hours. In
addition, our Quality Assurance program is certified to the requirements of ISO 9001 standards.
Liebert Large UPS systems are ETL listed to the requirements of UL 1778. All equipment and components are
manufactured to applicable UL, NEC, NEMA, ANSI, IEEE, and CSA standards and guidelines.
Designed for Success
The keys to reliability in the design of the UPS system are using conservatively rated components, minimizing
transfers to bypass, making operator controls understandable, and providing easy access for maintenance and
repair. Liebert UPS systems lead the industry in all these areas.
For example, the Series 600T can clear substantial overloads through the solid state static bypass switch without
transferring to the bypass source. By minimizing transfers to bypass, the Series 600T minimizes operation of cir-
cuit breakers and enhances system reliability.
As another example, the system control logic has been packaged into Application-Specific Integrated Circuits
(ASICs) to eliminate the failure-prone discrete logic boards used in other brands of UPS products. Furthermore,
these ASICs are isolated from heat-generating components to ensure optimal operating temperatures.
Other Factors to Consider
Reliability depends on more than just UPS module design. Improper installation can cause any system to fail. To
prevent this, Customer Engineers from Liebert Global Services thoroughly inspect the installation of all our sys-
tems to ensure they are installed properly and operating within performance specifications.
Once a UPS is properly installed, you—the on-site equipment operator—are the most important factor in pre-
venting critical bus failures or unplanned transfers to bypass. To make your task easier, the Series 600T UPS pro-
vides easy-to-follow, prompted instructions on the industry’s largest operator display screen.
If you ever need help, call Liebert Global Services (24 hours a day at 1-800-543-2378). Your attention to proper
installation, operation, and periodic maintenance will ensure that your mission-critical operations receive the
best possible protection from electrical disturbances and outages.

8 Introduction
1.3 Safety Precautions
Read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the sections that apply to you, before working with the
UPS. Also read the battery manufacturer’s manual before working on or near the battery.
Under typical operation and with all UPS doors closed, only normal safety precautions are necessary. The area
around the UPS system and Battery should be kept free from puddles of water, excess moisture, or debris.
Special safety precautions are required for procedures involving handling, installation, and maintenance of the
UPS system or the battery. Observe precautions in the separate Installation Manual before handling or installing
the UPS system. Observe precautions in 4.0 - Maintenance, before as well as during performance of all mainte-
nance procedures. Observe all battery safety precautions in 4.0 - Maintenance before working on or near the
battery.
This equipment contains several circuits that are energized with high voltage. Only test equipment desig-
nated for troubleshooting should be used. This is particularly true for oscilloscopes. Always check with an AC
and DC voltmeter to ensure safety before making contact or using tools. Even when the power is turned Off, dan-
gerously high potentials may exist at the capacitor banks. Observe all battery precautions when near the battery
for any reason.
ONLY qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the UPS system. When performing
maintenance with any part of the equipment under power, service personnel and test equipment should be stand-
ing on rubber mats. The service personnel should wear insulating shoes for isolation from direct contact with the
floor (earth ground).
Unless all power is removed from the equipment, one person should never work alone. A second person should
be standing by to assist and summon help in case an accident should occur. This is particularly true when work is
performed on the battery.
Three types of messages are used throughout the manual to stress important text. Carefully read the text below
each Warning, Caution, and Note and use professional skills and prudent care when performing the actions
described by that text.
AWarning signals the presence of a possible serious, life-threatening condition. For example:
ACaution indicates a condition that could seriously damage equipment and possibly injure personnel. For
example:
ANote emphasizes important text. If the note is not followed, equipment could be damaged or may not operate
properly. For example:
WARNING
LETHAL VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT EVEN
WHEN IT IS APPARENTLY NOT OPERATING. OBSERVE ALL
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT WORK ON
OR OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY QUALIFIED
TO DO SO!! NEVER WORK ALONE.
CAUTION
Make sure you understand the proper sequence before operating any circuit
breaker. Operating a Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker out of sequence could
cut off power to the critical load.
NOTE
If the UPS system has a blown fuse, the cause should be determined before you
replace the fuse. Contact Liebert Global Services.

Introduction 9
1.4 Modes of Operation
Refer to 2.0 - Theory of Operation and 3.0 - Operation for more details.
1.4.1 Normal (Load on UPS)
The utility AC source provides power to the rectifier/charger in each UPS module. Each rectifier/charger con-
verts the utility AC power to DC and supplies DC power to the UPS module inverter while simultaneously float
charging the battery plant. Each UPS module inverter converts DC to AC and furnishes AC power to the critical
bus. The System Control Cabinet (SCC) is the tie point for the paralleled modules and monitors and controls the
critical bus performance.
1.4.2 Input Power Failure
If the utility source power fails or is outside the acceptable range, the battery plant becomes the primary supplier
of DC power to the inverter.
1.4.3 Recharge
After the utility source power is restored, or an alternate power source becomes available, each rectifier/charger
slowly walks-in to once again power the inverters and recharge the battery plant.
1.4.4 Overload
Overloads in critical systems may be caused by inrush currents during connected equipment start-up or by faults
in the critical load. The Liebert Series 600T UPS system can maintain full output voltage regulation while sus-
taining the following overloads:
• Up to 150% for 30 seconds
• Up to 125% for 10 minutes
• Up to 104% for an indefinite period of time
Also, for clearing momentary faults above 155% of rated SCC current, the static switch turns on for 40 millisec-
onds to supply power from the bypass source. Up to 1000% of the rated current can be supplied for less than one
cycle, while up to 500% of rated load can be sustained for the full 40 milliseconds of pulsed-parallel operation.
The critical load remains on the UPS modules for the above conditions. If the UPS system overload capacity is
exceeded, an automatic transfer to bypass is initiated, which closes the system bypass circuit breaker (SBB) and
opens the UPS output circuit breaker.
Whenever you have an overload condition, you should determine the cause of the overload.
1.4.5 Redundant
If the multi-module UPS system includes one more module than the number required to supply the critical load,
the UPS system can operate in the redundant mode. This means that the load will remain on the UPS system if
one of the modules is disconnected because of an overload, an internal fault, or for maintenance. If the additional
module is not included in the system design, or if the additional module is disconnected from the critical bus, the
UPS system operates in the non-redundant mode.
1.4.6 Bypass (Internal)
The SCC control logic initiates an automatic transfer to the bypass source if the overload-current-versus-time
curve is exceeded or if specified UPS system faults occur. You can also manually transfer the load to the bypass
(without interruption) if you must take the UPS module out of service for maintenance.
The SCC internal maintenance bypass will allow most key components and operating modes to be checked with-
out disturbing the critical bus. However, certain key power-carrying components, such as the output and bypass
circuit breakers, will require complete system shutdown or isolation through an external maintenance bypass
cabinet for 100% service.
1.4.7 Maintenance Bypass
The installation of a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, Panelboard or Switchboard is recommended to allow you to
totally isolate the UPS from all power sources. Use of the Maintenance Bypass is described in 3.0 - Operation.
1.4.8 Off-Battery
The battery plant can be disconnected from the rectifier/charger by using an external Module Battery Disconnect
(MBD circuit breaker). The UPS module continues to function normally, though it does not have power outage
back-up capability until the battery plant is reconnected.

10 Introduction
1.5 Operator Controls
The Liebert Series 600T UPS System Control Cabinet (SCC) and each individual module are equipped with a
microprocessor-based Operator Display Screen and Control Panel designed for convenient and reliable opera-
tion.
The front panel location of the monitoring and control system enables the user to quickly identify the current sta-
tus of the UPS and to perform most of the manual operations. The operator display screen is driven by an easy-
to-follow menu-prompted software program that controls and monitors the UPS system.
Figure 4 SCC Controls and Display Screen with Example of the Monitor/Mimic Screen
The operator controls and Monitor/Mimic screen for the System Control Cabinet (SCC) are shown in Figure 4.
The controls and display screen for each UPS module are shown in Figure 5. Each cabinet (SCC or module) has
the displays and controls required to monitor and perform its functions.
Figure 4 shows a three-module system designed for redundant operation. A multi-module UPS system may
include up to six (6) modules for each SCC.
Detailed instructions on how to interpret the displays and use the controls are in 3.0 - Operation.

12 Introduction
1.6 Options
A number of standard pre-designed options are available from Liebert for your UPS system. Described below are
the most frequently provided options. Note that the battery items (1-3) are required to complete the UPS system.
The remaining options provide improved system performance or convenience.
1. Battery
The batteries provide power in the event of a power outage. The Liebert UPS can use a variety of battery
types, provided the battery plant is designed for the UPS DC voltage range and the load requirements of
your application.
2. Battery Racks or Cabinets
The battery racks are specifically designed for stationary service batteries. They are painted with electrolyte-
resistant paint for corrosion resistance. Battery cabinets are available for 150 through 600 kVA modules.
3. Module Battery Disconnect
The UPS system utilizes a separate Module Battery Disconnect for remotely located batteries. A sensing cir-
cuit in the UPS module, set at the battery low voltage limit, trips the Module Battery Disconnect to safe-
guard the battery from excessive discharge. The Module Battery Disconnect has an undervoltage release
mechanism designed to ensure that during any shutdown or failure mode all battery potential is removed
from the UPS system
4. Input Distortion Filter
This filter reduces rectifier input current reflected harmonic distortion to less than 7% THD, and less than
4% THD for modules with the optional 12-pulse rectifier. The filter is factory installed within the UPS. This
filter also improves the input power factor to better than 0.92 lagging.
5. 12-Pulse Rectifier
Certain models may be ordered with the optional 12-pulse rectifier section. This provides input isolation and
reduces reflected input current THD to less than 9%, or less than 4% with optional input filter.
6. Isolation Transformers
An optional rectifier input isolation transformer is available in a matching transformer cabinet. A bypass iso-
lation transformer is also available.
7. Three Breaker Maintenance Bypass
This switchboard provides make-before-break maintenance bypass. It includes: UPS Bypass Input Breaker
(BIB), Maintenance Bypass Breaker (MBB), and Maintenance Isolation Breaker (MIB).
8. Two Breaker Maintenance Bypass
This switchboard provides make-before-break maintenance bypass. It includes: Maintenance Bypass
Breaker (MBB) and Maintenance Isolation Breaker (MIB).
9. Load Bus Synchronization (LBS)
The Load Bus Sync (LBS) option keeps two independent UPS systems (and therefore their critical load
buses) in sync, even when the modules are operating on batteries or asynchronous AC sources. This means
that critical loads connected to both load buses through a Static Bus Transfer Switch can be switched seam-
lessly between the two.
10. SiteScan Central Monitoring System
Liebert manufactures a central monitoring system that automatically displays key UPS measurements and
alarms, as well as data from a variety of sensors. This monitoring system signals alarms so corrective action
can be taken. Events and data can be printed in hard copy. Data can be logged for analysis.
11. Remote Monitor Panel
The UPS system may also be provided with an optional Remote Monitor Panel. This Panel provides eight
LED indicators and may be placed at a convenient location near the critical load. A functional description of
the Remote Monitor Panel is provided in 3.0 - Operation of this manual.
12. Customer Alarm Interface
This optional interface board allows the input and display of 8 alarms from customer-supplied contacts, each
with a customer-selected name of up to 16 characters. The following attributes can be user programmed for
each alarm: latching, summary, freeze history, sound horn, auto-dial, and time delay (0 to 999.9 seconds).

2.0 THEORY OF OPERATION
2.1 General Component Descriptions
The UPS system includes all of the equipment necessary to continuously provide computer-grade AC power to a
critical load, even when there is an interruption of the utility line power. It consists of a System Control Cabinet
(SCC), UPS modules, and a back-up battery plant. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7. Except where otherwise
noted, the configuration is presumed to be parallel-redundant (with at least one more UPS module than required
to support the rated load).
System Control Cabinet
The System Control Cabinet (SCC) includes system controls, static bypass switch, load transfer control, protec-
tive devices, and other accessories. The system controls simultaneously monitor two or more parallel UPS mod-
ules sharing a critical load for increased capacity and/or redundancy. The two (2) motor-operated system circuit
breakers (system bypass breaker—SBB and UPS output breaker) may be contained within the SCC, depending
on the configuration designed for your installation.
System Controls: The system control logic automatically manages critical bus operation and monitors perfor-
mance of the UPS modules. Microprocessor technology and dedicated firmware provide advanced logic control
and a comprehensive display of information. The system control logic synchronizes the output of the UPS sys-
tem to the bypass source. The SCC includes ports for communicating with external devices. Liebert Multi-Mod-
ule Units do not require an SCC for load sharing. Automatic, parallel module load sharing is a function built into
the modules themselves; however interconnection through the SCC enables the modules to share data for more
precise control. Modules do not require master clocks or controls in order to load share or free-run at 60.0 Hz.
Static Bypass Switch: The static (solid-state) bypass switch immediately transfers the load from the inverter to
the bypass AC power source in the event of a severe overload on the system or a failure within the UPS. This
transfer takes place without any interruption of the power supplied to the load. The system includes redundant
circuits to detect and isolate shorted SCRs in the static switch.
Fuses are installed in series with the static bypass circuit to ensure reliable overload protection in the unlikely
event of a catastrophic output condition (e.g., a dropped wrench) electrically close to the output of your UPS sys-
tem. The static switch SCRs themselves are rated to easily handle the fuse-blowing current.
Bypass Circuit: The bypass circuit consists of electrically operated circuit breakers and associated synchroniz-
ing and control circuitry to transfer the load to/from the bypass source.

UPS Module
The UPS module consists of module controls, a rectifier/charger, an inverter, protective devices, and other acces-
sories.
Module Controls: The module control logic monitors performance of the UPS module. The UPS module status
is displayed locally and is also sent to the System Control Cabinet.
Rectifier/Charger: The rectifier/charger converts utility power from AC to DC to charge the battery and pro-
vide the DC input to the inverter. Its design limits reflected harmonic current distortion to source power and pro-
vides low-ripple DC power for charging batteries. Multiple rectifier/chargers can share a common battery plant,
if that configuration is preferred for your application.
Inverter: The inverter converts DC power into the precise AC power required to supply a sensitive critical load.
The inverter converts DC power into a pulse-width-modulated (PWM)/six-step waveform that is easily filtered
into a clean sine wave output. The PWM/stepwave also minimizes the harmonic voltage distortion caused by
typical switching power supplies and other non-linear load components used in computers and related electron-
ics.
Battery Plant
The battery is used as the alternate source of power to supply DC power to the inverter if the AC supply voltage
is outside the acceptable range. The battery supplies power to the inverter until the utility power is restored or
until an alternate power source is available. If AC source power is not restored or an alternate power source is not
available, the battery can be sized to provide power long enough for an orderly shutdown of the load.

2.2 Detailed Component Descriptions
2.2.1 Controls
Hardware
The Series 600T UPS Operator Interface Display System is designed to provide all of the information that is
required for the operation of each UPS cabinet (the System Control Cabinet and each module). The following is
a list of the hardware features:
1. The control logic performs automatic operations with minimal operator interface. The limited number of
manual controls are easy-to-use.
2. Each Series 600T UPS cabinet is equipped with an easy-to-read 640 x 200 pixel liquid crystal display (LCD)
screen. It presents information in a way that is easy to understand at an eye-level front panel location.
3. The display is controlled by a dedicated microprocessor with a non-volatile (EPROM) program and a
battery-backed event memory.
4. The Series 600T System Control Cabinet (SCC) has communication ports (terminal board connections) for:
a. Transmission of present status information to remote terminals via resident auto-dial communications
program and an external modem. This port also responds to inquiries of the UPS system status and
history from the remote terminal.
b. Reporting UPS system status and history information in response to inquiries from a local terminal (no
modem required).
c. Reporting to a local monitor the information requested from the local terminal.
d. Reporting information to a Liebert SiteScan central monitoring system.
e. Relaying selected alarm messages to a Liebert Remote Monitor Panel and to a separate terminal board
for customer use.
f. Relaying performance and status information to your network monitoring system via SNMP interface.
Firmware
The Operator Interface Display System software enables the operator to monitor the UPS system status, to con-
trol the power flow through the UPS, to monitor all of the meter readings, to execute the start-up, shutdown, and
the load transfer procedures, to access the event history files, and to make adjustments to the programmable
parameters. The following is a list of the firmware features:
1. The menu-driven software prompts the operator for input.
2. Step-by-step instructions assist the operator during start-up, shutdown, and load transfer procedures. This
helps to eliminate operator errors.
3. Graphics-based mimic diagrams illustrate circuit breaker status and the power flow through the UPS system.
4. The Present Status screen reports information about the system’s present status. The History Status screen
chronicles the events leading up to and immediately after a fault. The Event History screen lists all of the
alarm messages that have been logged over a period of time.
5. The Battery Cycle Monitor records information on up to 132 battery discharge events. Information includes
date, time, length of discharge, highest current demand, lowest battery voltage, and cumulative battery amp
hours discharged.
Refer to 3.0 - Operation for a description of the controls and indicators located on the Operator Control Panel.
2.2.2 Rectifier/Charger
The UPS module rectifier/charger consists of an input circuit breaker, optional input isolation transformer, AC
current limiting circuit, battery equalize charge circuit, DC filter, battery charge current limiting circuit, and
bridge rectifiers.
Operation
The rectifier/charger converts the AC input power to DC power. This conversion is accomplished by 3-phase
bridge rectifiers using SCRs. All phases are individually fused. Reflected input current THD is less than 7% at
NOTE
All external communication devices are optional equipment.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
16 Theory of Operation
full load with optional input filter. For modules 500 kVA and larger, the optional 12-pulse rectifier reduces
reflected THD to less than 4% with optional filter, or 9% without.
The filtered output of the rectifier/charger provides regulated DC power to drive the inverter and charge the bat-
tery.
Input Circuit Breaker
The input circuit breaker (CB1) is sized to allow enough current to recharge the battery and supply a full rated
load at the same time. The circuit breaker contains a thermal magnetic trip mechanism and an undervoltage
release that interrupts power, preventing damage to the system, if there is an internal AC over-current condition
or a short circuit. The circuit breaker also opens during certain alarmed faults. This circuit breaker must be closed
manually.
Isolation Transformer
The optional input isolation transformer has a dry type core, and copper windings with class H insulation. The
transformer on modules with standard 6-pulse rectifier has wye primary and delta secondary windings. For mod-
els with the optional 12-pulse rectifier, the transformer has a delta primary, with delta and wye secondary wind-
ings. The isolation transformer provides the initial step of critical bus isolation. This reduces the AC shock
hazard at the battery and at other DC components, and prevents a DC fault from disrupting upstream AC cir-
cuitry.
The transformer has a nominal tap and one tap 6% below the rated nominal input voltage (normally used for 460
VAC input).
Input Current Limit
AC input current-sensing transformers (CTs) are used to measure current levels. Control circuitry connected to
the CTs restricts the AC current to less than 125% of the full input current rating by reducing the battery charging
voltage. This current limit is adjustable from 100 to 125% and is factory set at 115%. A second (optional) level
of input current limit can be initiated by an external contact closure (field supplied for use with back-up genera-
tor), and is adjustable from 85 to 100% (factory set at 100%).
During a start-up procedure, the current slowly ramps up (walks-in) from 20% of the rated input current to 100%
over a 15 to 21 second period. The maximum rate of change of the AC input current is 15% per second. The
input current walk-in reduces the start-up surge distortion effects on all other equipment connected to the same
source and prolongs the service life of internal components.
Input Current Inrush
The maximum sub-cycle of inrush current due to the optional input isolation transformer is less than 500-800%
of the rated input current for the first 1/2 cycle. Without the optional transformer, inrush current is typically less
than 2-3 times normal.
Input Power Factor
The rated input power factor is no less than 0.85 lagging at the nominal input voltage and the full rated UPS load.
The optional input filter will improve the power factor to better than 0.92 lagging at full load. Refer to published
specifications for your UPS model.
2.2.3 Battery Charging Circuit
The UPS module charging circuit is capable of recharging the battery plant to 95% of full capacity within 10
times the discharge time. Recharging the last 5% takes longer because of characteristics inherent in the battery.
DC ripple voltage is limited to less than 0.5% RMS to preserve battery life during long-term float charging while
the UPS system is operating on utility source power.
Multiple UPS module rectifier/chargers can share a common battery plant, if that configuration is preferred for
your application.
Operation After Discharge
When commercial power is interrupted, the battery continues to supply DC power to the inverter without inter-
ruption to the critical load. If the AC source power is restored before the battery has fully discharged, the rectifier
automatically restarts and resumes carrying the inverter and battery recharge load requirements.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
Theory of Operation 17
Operation After End-of-Discharge
The battery time screen displayed on the control panel enables you to estimate when battery shutdown will occur.
You will have enough time to energize an alternate AC power source or to initiate an orderly shutdown of the
critical load. If the battery plant discharges to the shutdown point during an outage, the UPS automatically dis-
connects the load, the AC input, and the battery. After AC input power is restored, the rectifier can be manually
restarted by the user.
Battery Disconnect
The external module battery disconnect (MBD) circuit breaker is used to isolate the UPS module from the bat-
tery during maintenance and to automatically disconnect the battery from the inverter at the end of battery dis-
charge. The MBD circuit breaker can be opened or tripped automatically, from the control panel, or manually. It
must be closed manually.
Battery Charge Current Limiting
The battery recharge current, after a battery discharge, is limited to between 1 and 25% (adjustable) of the full
load discharge current. An additional (optional) charge-limiting circuit can be activated by external dry contact
closure (field supplied) for use when operating on a back-up generator. These two levels of control regulate the
amount of current that flows from the power source to the battery while the battery is recharging.
The battery charge current limit is factory set at 10% for normal operation and at 1% for alternate power source
recharge operation.
Battery Equalize Charge Circuit
The battery equalize charge feature can be manually initiated or it can be programmed to operate automatically.
Either can be selected from the battery equalize screen displayed on the control panel.
The battery equalizing charge circuit increases the rectifier/charger output voltage to charge the battery any time
there is a power outage of 30 seconds or longer. The equalizing voltage is slightly higher than the float voltage.
This decreases the time required to recharge the battery.
NOTE
Do not use equalize charging with valve-regulated lead-acid batteries
Consult the battery manufacturer's manual for specific information about equalize
charging.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
18 Theory of Operation
2.2.4 Inverter
The inverter is a solid state device that converts the DC output of the rectifier/charger or the battery to AC power.
Operation
The inverter converts DC power—from either the battery or the rectifier/charger—into three pulse-width-modu-
lated/six-step waveforms. These waveforms are filtered into low-distortion sine wave power. The inverter is con-
trolled by an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This integrated circuit controls the precise
synchronization, amplitude, and frequency of the output voltage.
In addition to the inverter efficiently supplying a regulated AC output from a DC source, the output isolation
transformer acts as a second stage of isolation between the critical load bus and the commercial source power.
The inverter is configured to handle most critical load inrush surges. It maintains output voltage Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD) within specifications even when handling non-linear computer loads. Refer to non-linear load
characteristics.
Output Regulation and Overload Performance
The inverter is capable of sustaining full output voltage ±2% of the nominal voltage) for up to 150% overload at
the output for as long as 30 seconds without reducing the output voltage. It can also handle at least 125% of the
rated current for up to 10 minutes and 104% of the rated current continuously. The System Control Cabinet
(SCC) will transfer the critical load to the bypass source if the overload exceeds the system capacity or the capac-
ity of the modules on-line. The multi-module overload capacity (in terms of percent of rated full load current of
modules on-line) is 140% for 20 seconds, 108% for 10 minutes, and 104% continuously.
Note that in normal operation the SCC will transfer the load to bypass before a UPS module exceeds its overload
capacity. If a module overload condition is sustained (beyond inverter capacity) the UPS module is automatically
taken off-line (disconnected from the critical bus) and is shut down. If the UPS system is operating in the redun-
dant mode, the load may remain on the UPS system. Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations.
Non-Linear Load Characteristics
Computers and computer equipment with switching power supplies generate non-linear currents rich in fifth and
seventh harmonics.
The inverter pulse-width-modulated/six-step waveform, coupled with the output filter, provides a natural path
for reducing the fifth and seventh harmonic currents produced by the load. The inverter/filter limits the output
voltage THD to less than 5% with up to 100% typical electronic data processing (EDP) loads. EDP equipment
characteristically includes both non-linear and linear load components.
Unbalanced Load Characteristics
Unbalanced loads are actively regulated. The phase-to-phase voltage balance is maintained to within 2%, even
with a 50% load imbalance.
The three-phase, root mean square (RMS—approximately 70% of the peak) average voltage is also regulated
through a separate control circuit (phase-to-phase sensing).

Theory of Operation 19
2.2.5 Static Bypass
A static bypass is an integral part of the UPS System Control Cabinet (SCC). Refer to Figure 7. The static
bypass consists of solid-state switching devices working in conjunction with the motor-operated System Bypass
Breaker (SBB). An automatic transfer control circuit senses the status of the operator controls, UPS logic signals
and alarm messages, and critical bus operating conditions. If the UPS modules can no longer supply the critical
load, the static bypass switch (in conjunction with the SBB and UPS Output Breaker) automatically transfers the
critical load to the bypass source without interruption.
Figure 7 System Control Cabinet (SCC) Block Diagram
Fuse Protection
The static bypass switch path uses two back-to-back SCRs per phase. Each phase is individually protected by a
fuse sized to clear only in the event of a catastrophic fault. This is a more reliable method than depending on
external protection devices. The fuses are in the circuit to protect the critical bus distribution equipment against
catastrophic faults. The static switch SCRs are oversized to easily handle any current surges that may blow the
fuses.
Shorted SCR Monitoring
The static bypass system has redundant shorted SCR sensing circuits and disconnects. This will prevent UPS out-
put power backfeed to the distribution system even if two component failures exist simultaneously. If a shorted
SCR is detected, the static bypass switch is isolated and annunciated at the SCC control panel, and the critical
load remains on UPS output power.
Static Switch Isolation
The motor-operated system bypass circuit breaker (SBB), wired in parallel with the static switch, automatically
closes in approximately 200 milliseconds after the load is transferred to the bypass power source, removing the
static switch from the power flow.

20 Theory of Operation
Also, if required for maintenance, the static switch can be isolated from the bypass line by opening (to the OFF
position) the Static Switch Disconnects.
Pulsed Parallel Operation
When an overload condition such as magnetic inrush current or a branch load circuit fault exceeds the overload
capacity of the connected modules, the static bypass switch pulses on for 40 milliseconds. This allows up to
1000% of the rated full load current from the bypass line to clear the overload without closing the bypass circuit
breaker. The bypass source is briefly in parallel with the UPS system, permitting the bypass source to carry the
initial overload current. If the overload clears before 40 milliseconds, a load transfer to bypass is not made. If the
overload condition continues, the automatic transfer is made (maintaining the load voltage within the specified
limits).
This pulsed static switch operation reduces nuisance operation of motor-operated circuit breakers for such short-
term conditions.
Load Transfers
Transfers to (transfer) or from (retransfer) the bypass may be performed automatically or manually in a make-
before-break sequence. This is accomplished through the overlapping operation of the UPS output and the sys-
tem bypass power switching devices.
Manual load transfers and retransfers are initiated by the operator from the System Control Cabinet (SCC).
In a manual operation, or an automatic retransfer, the two motorized circuit breakers—UPS output and system
bypass—are both closed simultaneously for a short period of time (overlap).
Automatic transfers are initiated by the SCC system control logic when an overload is beyond the specified capa-
bilities of the UPS system or when a fault occurs within a non-redundant UPS module. An automatic retransfer is
initiated if this function is enabled and if system conditions for a retransfer are present.
In an automatic transfer, the circuit breakers do not overlap, but during the short time gap bypass power is sup-
plied to the critical load through the solid state static switch.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
Theory of Operation 21
Transfer and Retransfer Conditions
1. Automatic Transfers to Bypass
Critical bus conditions that will initiate an automatic transfer of the critical load from the UPS system to the
bypass source are:
a. System Overload: overcurrent condition in excess of the overload rating of the System Control Cabinet
(SCC).
b. Output Overload: overcurrent condition in excess of the current-versus-time overload capacity of UPS
modules ON LINE.
c. Over/Under Voltage (OV/UV): critical bus voltage is outside the allowable tolerance.
d. Non-redundant UPS Module Inoperative: an essential UPS module is taken OFF LINE for one of the
reasons below.
1. Battery discharged to the shutdown voltage.
2. Inverter overload capacity exceeded.
3. Inverter or rectifier fault condition (power, logic, or over-temperature) present or imminent.
4. Failure of UPS module logic or logic power.
e. SCC Logic:
1. Emergency Module Off (EMO) circuit activated.
2. Failure of UPS system logic or logic power.
2. Manual Transfers
Manual transfers may be initiated at any time provided no transfer inhibition conditions are present.
3. Transfer Inhibited
A manual transfer to the bypass source shall be inhibited if any of the following conditions exist:
a. Bypass frequency deviates ±0.5 Hz from the nominal.
b. UPS system to bypass voltage difference ( V) exceeds a predetermined percentage (normally 5%).
c. Static switch disconnects (manual switches) open.
d. OK to Transfer signal from the control logic is not present.
4. Automatic Retransfers to UPS
Critical bus conditions that must be present to initiate an automatic retransfer (Auto-Rexfer) of the critical
load from the bypass source to the UPS system are:
a. The number of Auto-Rexfer Attempts selected must be greater than zero (0). If zero (0) is selected, no
automatic retransfer will occur.
b. Critical load was initially transferred to the bypass source due to a system overload only.
c. Overload has since dropped below 100% of the rated SCC current.
d. Enough UPS modules are ON LINE to supply the critical load.
e. OK to Transfer signal received from the control logic for at least 10 seconds, within 5 minutes of the
overload transfer. (A manually initiated retransfer from bypass is required for overloads lasting 5
minutes or more.)
f. Cyclic-type system overloads, which occur up to five (select range is 0 to 5) times in 60 minutes, are
automatically returned to the UPS system for each event including the Nth overload. A manually
initiated retransfer from bypass is required for the N+1 overload.
NOTE
A load transfer to the bypass line will be completed whenever an automatic transfer
to bypass is initiated If the Static Switch Unable alarm message is present for any
reason (including a ±20° phase lock synchronization error), the automatic transfer
will be interrupted for 40 to 120 milliseconds. Because of the reliability of the UPS
components, an interrupted load transfer is a very unlikely occurrence.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
22 Theory of Operation
5. Manual Retransfers
Manual retransfers may be initiated at any time provided no retransfer inhibition conditions are present.
6. Retransfer Inhibited
A retransfer from the bypass source to the UPS system shall be inhibited if any of the following conditions
exist:
a. Manual (and Automatic) Retransfer Inhibitions:
1. Bypass frequency exceeds ±0.5 Hz of the nominal.
2. UPS system-to-bypass voltage difference ( V) exceeds a predetermined percentage (normally
5%).
3. System circuit breaker (UPS output or SBB) is inoperative.
4. OK to Transfer signal from the control logic is not present.
5. Not enough UPS modules are ON LINE to supply the connected critical load.
b. Automatic Retransfer Inhibitions (in addition to those above):
1. The load transfer to bypass was not caused by a system overload.
2. Excessive cyclical overloads within a one-hour period.
3. Retransfer conditions are not satisfied within 5 minutes of the initial transfer.
2.2.6 Redundant Mode
The typical multi-module UPS system is configured with a back-up (redundant) UPS module, connected in par-
allel to share the critical load with the other module(s). This parallel redundant system includes one more module
than is required to supply the full critical load.
A parallel redundant system will always be in the Redundant Mode if all modules are ON LINE. In addition, if
the critical load is reduced so that not all ON LINE modules are required, the UPS system can also operate in the
Redundant Mode with one or more modules OFF LINE. The critical load will remain on the UPS system—even
if one or more of the modules is taken OFF LINE for maintenance or because of an internal fault—as long as the
remaining ON LINE modules can carry the full connected system load.
The system control logic monitors the connected critical load and the number of UPS modules ON LINE. If the
UPS system is operating in the Redundant Mode, the REDUNDANT status message will be displayed at the
System Control Cabinet (SCC). If the UPS system is operating in the Non-Redundant Mode (redundant module
is OFF LINE or was not included in the system configuration), the NON-REDUNDANT status message is dis-
played at the SCC. In the Non-Redundant Mode, the critical load will be transferred to bypass if any UPS module
goes OFF LINE and the remaining ON LINE module(s) cannot carry the connected load without being over-
loaded.
The system control logic, located in the SCC, automatically adjusts the allowable overload limits based on the
connected load and the number of modules ON LINE.

Figure 12 Menu Tree
Figure 12 illustrates the primary screens that you can access through the Operator Interface Display System. The
liquid crystal display (LCD) screen provides a full 80 characters by 25 lines of information for easy readability.
The following subsections describe what these screens display and how and when to use them.
Module status information is available on the display screen, provided Control Power is ON, even when the
UPS module is not operating. System status information is available on the SCC display screen and at local and
remote terminals when at least one module is on-line or when the bypass source is available.
The screen will automatically display the Monitor/Mimic during normal operation. The System configuration
screen will be displayed during start-up and whenever a system reset is required.
If a module display screen is blank, either power is not available, the Rectifier Input (RIB) circuit breaker (exter-
nal to the UPS module) is open, or the Control Power switch is OFF. If power is available and a display is blank,
contact Liebert Global Services. Note that status information may be available at local and remote terminals. Use
control touch pads at the SCC to manually transfer the critical load to the bypass line if the SCC display goes
blank while load is on UPS (a very unlikely event).

3. STATUS REPORTS.
This display consists of three sub-menu selections: present status, history status, and event history. These
screens display data on the system’s present and past performance. They also display information about any
faults that have occurred in the system and total operating hours for the controls.
4. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
This screen displays the current configuration of the UPS system. It also enables the operator to reset the
date, time, and dial-out phone numbers. The SCC current rating can also be adjusted lower than design max-
imum. The operator can view, but cannot change, any of the settings unless the Interlock (Security Access)
button is pressed.
5. LIMIT SETTINGS.
This security access display shows the present UPS system alarm limit settings. The operator can view the
settings, but they should not be changed without consulting Liebert Global Services.
6. LOAD TRANSFER PROCEDURES (SCC only).
This screen specifies all of the steps required to manually transfer the critical load between the UPS system
and the bypass source. Comparisons of the voltage frequency, and phase synchronization of the UPS system
output and the bypass line are also illustrated to aid in the transfer or retransfer procedure.
7. START-UP PROCEDURES.
This two-page screen lists step-by-step procedures to start the UPS system and the modules.
8. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES.
This two-page screen lists the proper sequence of steps to shutdown the UPS system and the modules for
maintenance or repairs. The steps instruct the operator to transfer the critical load to bypass, open the battery
circuit breakers, and open the UPS module output and input circuit breakers to shut down and isolate the
modules. The critical load will remain on bypass power unless circuit breakers outside the UPS system are
also opened.
9. BATTERY TIME (modules only).
This graph displays the projected battery voltage drop caused by a battery discharge over time. During a
period of battery discharge, the Series 600T calculates the battery time remaining based on battery rating,
initial battery condition, and actual connected load. The UPS continues to update and display both rated
(theoretical) and calculated time every 6 seconds. This enables the operator to immediately see the effects of
load shedding on time remaining and to accurately assess his power resources.
10. METER CALIBRATION.
This security access screen enables an authorized Liebert field-service engineer to adjust and calibrate the
UPS metered functions. The operator can view, but should not change, any of the settings
11. BATTERY EQUALIZE.
The battery equalize screen lets the operator change the battery equalize recharging mode from manual to
automatic and to observe or change the equalize time. Battery equalize charge voltage is higher than battery
float (constant) charge voltage.
12. CUSTOMER ALARM DEFINITIONS (SCC only).
This optional screen allows the operator to define alarms for conditions external to the UPS, battery, or
switchgear.
NOTE
Do not use battery equalize charging with sealed-cell batteries. Refer to the battery
manufacturer’s manual for specific information about equalize charging.

3.1.3 Walk-In Display Screen
From the module Master Menu, highlight WALK-IN DISPLAY and then press the Select pad. Note that this
screen is displayed at the UPS modules but is not required at the System Control Cabinet (SCC).
Figure 21 Walk-In Display Screen During Start-Up
The Walk-In Display screen enables the operator to monitor the UPS module DC bus voltage, the input currents,
and the output voltage. This is important during the start-up procedures.
During start-up, the UPS module input circuit breaker is closed and power is applied to the UPS module. The
Walk-In Display screen graphically shows the voltage increasing on the DC bus as the UPS module rectifier
begins to walk-in.
The DC Volts bar gradually moves to the right. After the DC Vo lts bar reaches the 90% level, the UPS module
inverter starts-up and the Output Volts bar also moves to the right. Both the DC Volts and the Output Volts
bars should settle near the 100% line as the UPS module becomes fully energized.
The three Input Amps bars (one for each phase of input current) move to the right during the initial transformer
inrush. They should return to the left after the momentary inrush has subsided, then increase to about 10% as the
DC Volts increase.
Modules equipped with the optional input filter will indicate more than 10% with no connected load.
NOTE
After the critical load is transferred from the bypass line to the UPS modules, the
Input Amps bars continue to indicate the percent of the design input current to the
UPS module rectifier.
If any Input Amps bar differs from the average bar length by more than 10%, call
Liebert Global Services.

Present Status
The Present Status screen shows the current status of the UPS system (SCC) or module. This screen displays any
alarm messages that are present and the values of the metered parameters for each cabinet. Battery values are dis-
played only at the UPS modules.
Each update sequence (every 4 milliseconds) is called a frame. The frame number is displayed in the upper right
corner. The Present Status screen display is updated every two seconds.
Battery Time Remaining (in minutes) is displayed on the module screens during a battery discharge. The value is
on the Battery Volts line in the TIME column (far right side of the screen). For the first two minutes of discharge,
the Rated Time Remaining is displayed. After that, the Calculated Time Remaining is displayed, and updated
every six seconds.
All the information on this screen, including Battery Time Remaining, is available to a local terminal or modem
through the communications ports provided in the Series 600T UPS. Refer to Table 3 in this manual for key-
board commands to use with the communication ports.

History Status
The History Status screen displays 64 frames, of 4 milliseconds each, from the Present Status screen. Note that
the values for output volts and amps are updated once each millisecond. Alarms are listed in the sequence they
occurred, within 1 millisecond resolution. The frames are stored in a buffer (a computer information storage
technique). The buffer stores the frames in a first-in first-out sequence. As a new frame enters the buffer the old-
est one is released.
When a designated fault occurs (see list below), the buffer stores information for the next 24 frames and then
freezes (stops gathering information). At that time, the History Status screen contains 40 frames before the fault,
the frame when the fault occurred, and 23 frames after the fault. This 64-page report is a very useful diagnostic
tool for the operator or Liebert Global Services. Use the Up and Down pads to view the screens.

System Status
The System Status screen displays the module Total Operating Hours and the Battery Cycle Monitor.
Battery Cycle Monitor (Module Only)
Selecting the Battery Cycle Monitor gives you access to detailed information about the module’s most recent
battery discharge events. Periodic review of this data can give a good indication of battery performance and
expected life.
Each battery discharge cycle is put into one of four categories, depending on the length of the event:
• 0-30 Seconds Discharge
• 31-90 Seconds Discharge
• 91-240 Seconds Discharge
• Over 240 Seconds Discharge
Each discharge cycle is sorted by time duration and tagged with the following system parameters:
• System time and date
• Event Number
• Duration of cycle (seconds)
• Lowest DC Bus Voltage
• Highest DC Bus Current
• kW carried by the batteries at the start of cycle
• Battery Environment Ambient Temperature (when equipped with optional temperature sensor)
Up to 132 discharge cycle events can be stored at any given time. When the buffer approaches its capacity, a
warning message is broadcast via terminal and modem communication channels and a complete listing of all
records (in order of occurrence) is sent to the terminal port. If a serial printer is attached to the terminal port, the
operator can print a hard copy of the report. If a printer is not available, a terminal emulation program can cap-
ture the report to disk for later review or printing. Once the buffer is filled, new data will replace the old on a
First In, First Out basis as new cycles occur.
To view this data, select the BATTERY CYCLE MONITOR option on the System Status screen. At the next
screen (see Figure 26), you can select either the Battery Cycle Monitoring Summary screen or a screen showing
detailed information on any one of the four categories of discharge (0-30 seconds, 31-90 seconds, 91-240 sec-
onds and Over 240 seconds).

dial number, and modem baud rate.
The System Configuration screen is one of the displays that has controlled access to limit who is able to change
site parameters. This type of screen is called a Security Access screen. This controlled access feature allows any-
one to review the present parameters, but limits access for making changes. When you see Security Access dis-
played on the screen (upper left corner), to make authorized changes you must open the control cabinet door (key
required) and push the Interlock button on the back of the control panel (Figure 11). Close and lock the control
cabinet door after making authorized changes.

Maximum Auto-Retransfer Attempts
When a UPS output overload condition exceeds a pre-programmed current-versus-time window (based on the
SCC current rating), the UPS automatically transfers the critical load to the bypass line. After the overload condi-
tion has been corrected, the UPS attempts to automatically retransfer the critical load to the UPS output (unless
zero attempts is selected). The Maximum Auto-Retransfer Attempts limits the number of times (0 to 5) that
the UPS attempts to retransfer the load back to the UPS within a one-hour time period.
If more than the selected number of overloads occurs during one hour, the critical load remains on the bypass line
and must be manually retransferred to the UPS system. Note that you should determine the cause of any overload
condition.
Note that automatic retransfers are initiated only if the critical load was transferred to the bypass line because of
a system overload. If an automatic transfer to bypass occurred for any other reason, an automatic retransfer will
not be initiated. Refer to 3.4.3 - Automatic Retransfers to UPS.

Figure 35 Module Alarm Limit Settings Screen
Overload Alarm (SCC and modules). This alarm setting initiates an alarm message on the display screen warn-
ing the operator that the UPS system output current has exceeded the specified limit. This condition only acti-
vates an alarm. The UPS does not shut down, but a separate control circuit will transfer the critical load to bypass
if the current and time of the overload condition exceeds system capability.
DC Over-Voltage (modules only). This setting limits the maximum permitted level of the DC bus voltage.
When this setting is exceeded, an alarm indication appears on the module display screen. The UPS module is
taken off-line (the module output circuit breaker is tripped open), and the input and battery circuit breakers trip
open.
Battery Discharging (modules only). When the battery voltage on the DC bus falls below this limit for 5 sec-
onds, a Battery Discharging alarm message is displayed on the module screen. This means that the battery is dis-
charging due to an input voltage sag or interruption, or a module output overload.
Low Battery (modules only). While the battery is discharging, this alarm warns the operator that the Battery
Shutdown level is approaching. This is typically set for a reserve time of approximately five minutes (10 volts
above the 60-Minute Battery Shutdown Voltage), based on full load operation.
Battery Shutdown (15 Minutes) (modules only). When the battery voltage decreases to this limit for five sec-
onds during the first 15 minutes of the discharge, the battery circuit breaker opens to prevent over-discharge.
Note that the rated battery reserve time at your site may be other than 15 minutes.
Battery Shutdown (60 Minutes) (modules only). During extended outages or deep sags of more than 15 min-
utes, the shutdown voltage limit will ramp up gradually to this 60-minute limit to prevent lengthy discharge and
possible battery damage. The battery circuit breaker opens when the battery voltage and the shutdown limit are
equal for five seconds. See the Battery Time screen for more information. Also refer to the battery manufac-
turer’s manual.
Battery Rating (100%) (modules only). This setting is the full load discharge rating of the battery in kilowatts
for the rated backup period. A typical rating might be 500 kW for 15 minutes.
CAUTION
All alarm limit settings are application matched and factory set. They should not
be changed casually. Contact Liebert Global Services for changing the alarm
limit settings.

Battery Rating (modules only). This setting is a battery discharge rating in kilowatts under partial load for an
extended period, typically 60 minutes. The UPS uses the two battery shutdown voltage settings and the two bat-
tery discharge ratings in computing rated and calculated time remaining during a discharge event.
NOTE
The Low Battery alarm setting is designed to be useful at full load battery discharge
rates. It is typically set for 10 volts above the 60-Minute Battery Shutdown voltage, to
provide some measure of warning under all circumstances. If the discharge period
extends past 15 minutes (i. e., the load on the UPS is less than full capacity), the
Battery Shutdown voltage setting is gradually and automatically increased to protect
the batteries from deep discharge. The Low Battery alarm setting is not automatically
increased and should not be relied upon as an accurate indicator of battery time
remaining. Instead, the operator should consult the Battery Time screen or Present
Status screen to see the calculated time remaining based on actual usage during the
discharge period.

Go to the SCC Master Menu and move the highlighted cursor to LOAD TRANSFER PROCEDURES. Note
that this screen is displayed at the System Control Cabinet but is not required at the UPS modules. Press the
Select pad and the Load Transfer Procedures screen is displayed.
The Load Transfer Procedures screen contains instructions to transfer the critical load between the UPS system
and the bypass line. Comparisons of the UPS and bypass voltage, frequency, and phase synchronization are dis-
played along with transfer status messages and an indication of circuit breaker overlap time. The metered param-
eter values on the Load Transfer Procedures screen are updated at half-second intervals.
Refer to 3.3.2 - Load Transfer Procedures for more details.
Figure 36 Load Transfer Procedures Screen
Item 1 - Voltage Comparisons. This chart shows the UPS and bypass voltage and frequency comparisons
between each of the three phases. If the UPS and bypass voltages are not within specified tolerances, a manual
transfer is not permitted and TRANSFER PROHIBIT is highlighted.
The Voltage Adjust knob (push-to-turn), located on the SCC Operator Control Panel (Figure 10), is used to
match the UPS output voltage to the bypass voltage. When the UPS and bypass voltages match within the spe-
cific tolerance, a manual transfer is possible and OK TO TRANSFER is highlighted.
Item 2 - Synchronization. This display shows the phase synchronization between the UPS output and bypass
power. If the phase displacement is outside of the tolerance, a manual transfer is not permitted and TRANSFER
PROHIBIT is highlighted.
During normal operation, the synchronization display should read UPS LEAD from zero to 4 degrees.
Item 3 - Status Messages. Three messages are constantly displayed here. Only the active message is high-
lighted. If TRANSFER PROHIBIT is highlighted, manual transfers/retransfers cannot be performed, and auto-
matic retransfers will not be initiated.
Item 4 - Manual Transfer Instructions. These instructions assist the operator in transferring the critical load
between the UPS system and the bypass line.
If the load is on the bypass line, step 2 on the screen will instruct you to press the UPS and Control Enable but-
tons to retransfer the load from the bypass line to the UPS system.
CAUTION
The UPS output voltage responds very slowly to inputs from the Voltage Adjust
knob. Make small adjustments and wait several seconds each time for voltage to
stabilize before continuing.

3.1.10 Battery Time Screen (Module Only)
At the Master Menu, move the highlighted cursor to BATTERY TIME. Press the Select pad and the Battery
Time screen is displayed.
When AC power is not available to the UPS module, the UPS inverter uses DC power from the battery to supply
the critical load. This screen helps the operator assess his power resources to determine if and when the critical
load shutdown procedures need to be started.
The Battery Time screen is a line graph that tracks the present battery voltage versus the elapsed time that the
battery has been discharging (Figure 41). As the battery voltage decreases, the line representing it moves closer
to intersecting the line that represents the battery shutdown voltage. When the battery starts to discharge, the
screen displays a 15-minute graph. If the battery has been providing power for more than 15 minutes, the screen
displays a 30-minute graph. If battery power is still available after 30 minutes, a 60-minute graph is displayed
(Figure 42).
Figure 41 Battery Time Screen Example - 15 Minute Discharge
The screen also displays alarm messages (Battery Discharging, Low Battery Warning, and Battery Shutdown)
and a set of five parameters that inform the operator of battery condition and time remaining. The five parameters
describing battery resources are:
• Rated Total Time, in hours and minutes, is the amount of battery backup time that should be available under
full rated load, based on system design.
• Rated Time Remaining is the Rated Total Time less the duration of the present discharge event.
• Calculated Total Time is an estimate of the total battery backup time available, based on the initial battery
condition and actual performance while powering the connected load during the discharge event.
• Calculated Time Remaining is a real-time estimation of battery time remaining— with the actual connected
load—before battery voltage drops to the Battery Shutdown setpoint.
• Battery Charge is the approximate percentage of total designed ampere hours of battery capacity presently
available based on recharge/discharge activity.
Values for Calculated Total Time and Calculated Time Remaining will appear on the screen approximately two
minutes after the beginning of the discharge event. Calculated Time Remaining also appears on the Present Sta-
tus Report screen. Both Calculated Total Time and Calculated Time Remaining will be updated every six sec-
onds, reflecting actual load changes and battery condition. When the Calculated Times become available, they
will be displayed in place of the Battery Discharging message on this screen.
NOTE
If the UPS modules connect to independent battery plants, consult all the individual
module screens to get the complete picture. If the modules share a common battery,
select one module to do the monitoring and disregard the others.

Figure 42 Battery Time Screen Example - 45 Minute Discharge
The Battery Time Remaining graph and the Calculated times are extremely helpful to the operator who has the
discretionary authority to order load-shedding activities. The Series 600T automatically samples battery voltage
and load current and recomputes every six seconds. This gives the operator fast and accurate feedback on efforts
to extend battery time remaining by shutting down non-critical loads.
The Series 600T dynamically adjusts the Battery Shutdown voltage based on battery characteristics and the
length of the current discharge event. If a discharge event extends past 15 minutes (i.e., the load is less than the
full design rating), the Battery Shutdown voltage setting is gradually and automatically increased, to protect the
batteries from deep discharge.
When the battery voltage decreases to a preset limit (see 3.1.6 - Alarm Limit Settings Screen), the Low Battery
Warning alarm message appears on the display screen. This warns the operator that the battery voltage is
approaching the Battery Shutdown level—about five minutes of time remaining at full rated load.
If the battery discharges to the Battery Shutdown level, represented by the lower line on the Battery Time screen,
the battery and input circuit breakers trip open and the UPS module is shut down. This protects the battery from
being damaged by an extended deep discharge.
NOTE
While every effort has been made to make the Rated and Calculated Time Remaining
values as accurate as practical, these values must be regarded as approximations. At
the beginning of the discharge cycle, the Calculated times could be off by as much as
±20% due to such variables as battery initial charge, age of battery, and the
subsequent load-shedding activities of the operator. Within a few minutes, however,
these calculations should settle into their design accuracy of ±10%, with the end-of-
discharge tolerance being +0, -10% of actual observed time. In addition, the
operator can adjust the settings affecting Rated Total Time after gaining experience
with the actual battery and connected load.
NOTE
The Low Battery alarm setting is designed to be useful at full load battery discharge
rates. Unlike the Battery Shutdown voltage, the Low Battery alarm setting is not
automatically increased and should not be relied upon as an indicator of battery time
remaining. Instead, the operator should consult the Battery Time screen or Present
Status screen to see the Calculated Time Remaining based on actual usage during the
discharge period.

Monitor screen, as described in 3.1.4 - Status Reports Screens.
CAUTION
When battery shutdown occurs, no power will be supplied to the critical load
unless power is available through the bypass line from the utility source (or from
an engine generator set). If you anticipate a battery shutdown (and an engine
generator set is not available), either transfer the load to bypass (if available) or
perform a controlled shutdown of the critical load.
NOTE
1. During initial UPS start-up, the Battery Charge will display 100%, even though
actual state of charge may be slightly less. It will normally take three to four days
of operation to completely charge the battery. After the battery is fully charged
the first time, Battery Charge will be an accurate indication of battery status.
2. If Calculated Time Remaining is less than Rated Time Remaining, a battery
problem may be indicated. Battery maintenance personnel should thoroughly
examine the battery plant for factors that may reduce battery performance, such
as:
• Age of battery
• Excessive battery discharge/recharge cycles
• Bad or weak cells
• Low acid levels in flooded cells
• Loose electrical connections
• Ambient temperature extremes
• Dirty battery jar covers.
3. If the battery plant has been thoroughly examined for proper maintenance and
condition, and the Calculated value is still less than 80% of Rated value, contact
Liebert Global Services.

The Battery Equalize screen enables the operator to adjust the battery equalize time. It is also used to choose
between auto and manual battery equalize recharging modes. Note that AUTO MODE can be selected only from
the System Control Cabinet (SCC). Selections made at the SCC override previous selections made at the UPS
modules.
When the input utility power is interrupted, the battery supplies DC power to the UPS module inverters so there
is no interruption of power to the critical load. When the AC input power is restored, the battery equalize
recharging circuit can be activated automatically or manually to increase the module rectifier/charger output
voltage to recharge the battery. The battery equalize circuit may also be manually activated at any time during
normal float (constant) voltage operation. The equalizing time can be adjusted from 0 to 72 hours.
Figure 45 Battery Equalize Screen
EQUALIZE TIME PERIOD. This selection permits the operator to adjust the battery equalize time in one hour
increments from 0 to 72. The battery equalize time must be greater than zero for the battery to begin recharging
in both the AUTO and the MANUAL modes. This period is set by use of the Up/Down pads and Select pad.
When the battery is at full voltage (not being recharged), this selection reads EQUALIZE TIME PERIOD
(hrs). When the battery is recharging, this selection reads EQUALIZE TIME REMAINING (hrs). After the
equalize recharge time has expired, the indication returns to the preset equalize time.
STOP EQUALIZE CHARGE. This selection lets the operator halt the equalizing charge to the battery at any
time, whether the circuit was activated automatically or manually.
MANUAL MODE. This mode enables the operator to manually initiate a battery equalize charge to raise the DC
bus voltage to correct a non-uniformity in the individual cell voltages or specific gravity readings.
AUTO MODE (SCC only). When the battery recharge control logic is in the AUTO MODE, the UPS module
battery chargers attempt the equalization process only if the EQUALIZE TIME PERIOD is greater than zero,
the battery voltage has been at or below the Battery Discharging alarm limit for longer than 30 seconds, and the
battery breakers (MBD) are closed.

System Status Messages
The system status messages indicate whether the static bypass switch is connected or disconnected, through the
manually operated Static Switch Disconnects (see Figure 9). The status messages also advise the operator when
a transfer or retransfer between the UPS system and bypass line is permitted, based on matching voltage, fre-
quency, and phase.
The following status messages may appear in the system status area.
1. Static Switch Connected. The static switch is connected (the disconnect switches are closed—ON) and is
ready provide a current path from the bypass input to the load.
2. Static Switch Disconnected. The static switch is disconnected (the disconnect switches are open—OFF) for
maintenance procedures.
3. OK to Transfer. The UPS system voltage, frequency, and phase match the bypass line. This means that a
transfer between the bypass line and the UPS system is permitted.
4. Not OK to Transfer. Either the UPS or bypass voltage, frequency, or phase is not within the specified
limits or the static bypass switch is not available. Therefore, manually initiated transfer between the bypass
line and the UPS system is not permitted. Emergency or overload transfer to bypass may still be available
provided the “static switch unable” alarm is not indicating.
Load Block Messages
Status messages in the Load block indicate how many modules are in the system, how many modules are ON
LINE, and whether the system is operating in the redundant mode.
The following status messages may appear in the load block.
1. N OF X MODULES CONNECTED. The number N is the number of UPS modules ON LINE. This means
the module output circuit breaker is closed. X is the number of UPS modules in the system (connected to this
SCC). This number is set from the System Configuration screen.
2. REDUNDANT. The capacity of the UPS modules ON LINE is sufficient to supply the critical load even if
one module is taken OFF LINE. The critical load will remain on the UPS system if one module goes OFF
LINE.
3. NON-REDUNDANT. The critical load will be transferred to bypass if one module goes OFF LINE, and
you must transfer the load to bypass in order to perform maintenance on any UPS module.
4. TIME TO OVERLOAD TRANSFER. During an overload condition, the time remaining before transfer
(in seconds) is displayed at the bottom of the load block. At each Module (MMU), the message is Time to
Overload Shutdown.

Alarm Messages
The alarm message area displays the alarm conditions that are present within the UPS system. Alarm messages
are displayed in flashing reverse video. During normal operation no alarm messages should be present. Up to
four messages are displayed. To see if any additional alarm conditions are present in the UPS system, display the
Present Status screen on the control panel.
Table 1 is a complete list of all alarm messages and corrective actions, if any.
The first column lists the alarm message, with related alarms grouped together.
The third column indicates which special functions (if any) are initiated by the alarm.
D- the alarm initiates an auto-dial call through a user-provided modem to a remote terminal.
E- message displayed only on Status Report screens including Event History.
F- the alarm freezes the History Status Report memory buffer in the cabinet where the alarm is displayed.
Pressing the Alarm Reset pad for 15 seconds will unfreeze the memory buffer.
L- the alarm latches the displayed alarm message. Some alarm conditions are temporary (transient) and
may not last long enough to be noticed. Latching the display (keeping it on) lets you know that an alarm con-
dition has occurred. A latching display alarm remains on the display screen until the alarm condition is
removed and the Alarm Reset pad is pressed.
R- the alarm is displayed on an (optional) Remote Monitor Panel. This information is also available for
customer use through a set of contacts on a separate terminal board.
S- the alarm initiates a summary alarm at the Remote Monitor Panel and at the SCC.
The fourth column provides an explanation of the alarm condition, the critical bus status, and the corrective
actions, if any, to remedy the alarm.

Corrective Action in Brackets [ ]
AC INPUT
Input Fail MMU — The rectifier input line voltage is outside of specified limits or the
input circuit breaker is opened while the battery circuit breaker
remains closed. The battery supplies power to the critical load
through the UPS inverter.
DC BUS
DC Ground Fault MMU L, S Either the positive (+) or negative (-) DC bus is grounded. No transfer
or shutdown occurs.
[Contact Liebert Global Services at once. Do not attempt to locate or
repair the fault.]
DC Capacitor
Fuse Blown
MMU D, F, S At least one DC capacitor fuse has opened. The UPS module is
taken off-line and the input and battery circuit breakers trip open.
[Contact Liebert Global Services at once. Do not attempt to reset the
circuit breakers.]
Battery CB Open MMU R, S The module battery circuit breaker (MBD) is open. This circuit
breaker can be opened either manually or automatically in a UPS
shutdown procedure. If the UPS is operating with this breaker open,
the critical load is not protected from loss of the utility source
power.
[After AC power is restored and the DC bus is at 100% operating
voltage, manually close the battery circuit breaker so the rectifier can
charge the battery.]
Battery
Discharging
MMU R, S The battery is discharging. This occurs whenever the battery
supplies power to the load for more than 5 seconds because of input
power failure, a rectifier problem, or an overload condition. If the
input power or a source of auxiliary power is restored to the UPS
module, the UPS automatically returns to normal operation.
[Watch the battery voltage carefully. Reduce the load (begin
controlled shutdown) to extend the battery back-up time. Reset the
UPS alarms after the input power is restored. The message clears
after 30 seconds.]
Low Battery
Warning
MMU R, S The battery voltage is approaching the minimum discharge voltage
(approximately 5 minutes remaining).
[Complete the controlled shutdown of the critical load. Reset the
alarms if the input power is restored before shutdown.]
Low Battery
Shutdown
MMU D, F, L, S The battery voltage has decreased to the minimum discharge value.
The UPS module is taken off-line (no power to the critical load)
and the battery and input circuit breakers trip open.
[Perform a UPS system start-up procedure when AC power
becomes available.]
DC Over-Voltage
Shutdown
MMU D, F, L, S The maximum preset value of the DC Bus voltage has been
exceeded. The UPS module is taken off-line and the input and
battery circuit breakers trip open.
[Contact Liebert Global Services at once. A fault may have occurred
within the UPS. Do not attempt to reset the circuit breaker.]
BYPASS
Load On Bypass SCC D, E, F The critical load is being supplied power from the bypass line, and is
therefore exposed to utility power disturbances.

condition has been present for 10 seconds, if the overload has
dropped below 100% of the rated SCC current and if enough UPS
modules are on-line.
Manual Reset/
Retransfer
SCC — A manual retransfer is required. Either a system overload condition
has lasted more than 5 minutes, or no more auto-retransfer attempts
are available. Note that this alarm is only used if auto-retransfer
attempts are enabled.
[Perform a manual retransfer if all necessary conditions are present.]
Static Switch
Unable
SCC S The UPS output is not synchronized to the bypass power source.
The static bypass switch is disconnected, or it has failed internally.
[Emergency and overload transfer to the bypass source is not
available. Manually set the Static Switch Disconnects to ON (closed)
if the static switch is disconnected. If the alarm conditions are
automatically corrected, reset the alarm to clear it. Contact Liebert
Global Services if the alarm stays on.]
Bypass Not
Available
SCC — The bypass power source voltage is not within specifications.
[Check the bypass power source.]
Bypass Phase
Sequence Wrong
SCC — The power conductors on the bypass line are not wired to the UPS in
the required sequence. This alarm should appear only during initial
start-up or after a repair to the source power system.
[Disconnect power from the bypass line and correct the wiring. A
Liebert Global Services representative must be present during initial
start-up of your UPS System.]
UPS SYSTEM
Input Current

3.1.14 Communication Interfaces
Your Liebert Series 600T UPS includes the following communication ports:
• Worldwide reporting to a remote terminal through a modem
• Reporting to a local terminal (no modem required)
• Reporting to a local monitor only
• Site reporting to Liebert SiteScan Central Monitoring System
• Reporting via SNMP interface to a building management or network management system
• Selected alarm messages to a Liebert Remote Monitor Panel and to contact closures for customer use
All external communication devices, including the modem, are optional equipment. Connections to communica-
tion ports are made by wiring cables to terminal boards at the SCC. Connection points are shown on the Control
Wiring Interconnect Diagram. Contact Liebert Global Services for assistance when attaching an external device
to your UPS system.
Any terminal that accepts the standard 7-bit ASCII codes and conforms to the data link requirements can be used
to interface with the Series 600T UPS. If a printer is used, the terminal must support it. The UPS does not send or
receive any printer control commands.
Data link requirements are:
• Asynchronous RS-232 communication
• Terminals may be configured as DTE or DCE
• Baud Rate:
Modem: 1200 or 2400
Terminal: 2400 only
• Data Bits: 7
• Stop Bits: 1
• Parity: Odd
• Handshaking: Not required
• Full Duplex
Worldwide Reporting
This port transmits UPS system status and history information to a remote terminal in RS-232 format through a
PC-compatible modem.
Auto-Dial
The Series 600T UPS communication program will automatically dial a pre-programmed (customer selected)
phone number when specified alarm conditions occur. The auto-dial phone number, an alternate number, and the
modem baud rate are programmed by using the SCC System Configuration screen. The alarm messages that ini-
tiate an auto-dial call are identified in Table 1.
When the auto-dial function is initiated, automatic dial attempts to the first phone number are made at periodic
intervals for 30 minutes. If unanswered, the system rolls over to the second number and repeats calling until con-
nection is made or returns to first phone number after 30 minutes.
Once a connection is made to a terminal, the system transmits the information on the Present Status Report
screen, then hangs up. The Present Status Report includes the UPS system identification number, date, time,
alarm messages and metered parameter indications.
Requesting Information
If your Series 600T is equipped with a modem and telephone line, you can call the UPS and receive system status
and historical information on discharge events. You can place the call from either a remote terminal or a personal
computer with a communications program.
Follow the instructions for your terminal or your communications program to call the UPS. When you make con-
nection, the UPS will send you the greeting: “Hello, you are connected to a Series 600.” At this point, the UPS
will respond to your specific requests for information, according to Table 3.
For example, to see a copy of information on the Present Status Report screen from the SCC (see Present Status
in this manual), press the A key (either upper or lower case can be used for all except the date and time com-
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
76 Operation
mands) and then the Enter key. The Series 600T will send the data, which will be displayed on your screen. To
see the Present Status Report screen from, say, Module 1, type A1 and press the Enter key. Please note that the
data on the screen is like a snapshot—the status of the UPS at the moment you requested the information. The
information sent remotely is not updated, although you can repeat the process at intervals to request the present
information.
Some screens, like the Battery Cycle Monitor information, contain data that you may wish to import into a
spreadsheet for further calculations. To put this data into a usable format, use the screen-capture feature of your
communications software (or a separate screen-capture program) to save all or part of the data to disk. Hint: If
you save the file with an extension of “.txt,” it can then be imported into a spreadsheet program and converted to
worksheet format.
To terminate your connection to the Series 600T, press the H key and then the Enter key. The UPS will hang up
its modem and await your next call.
Local Reporting to a Terminal
This port sends UPS system status and history information to a local terminal in RS-232 format. No modem is
required. The Present Status Report screen is sent to the local terminal whenever a new alarm occurs. Commands
for requesting information, and for changing the date and time, are in Table 2.
Local Reporting to a Monitor
A monitor connected to this port will display the same alarm information being sent to the local terminal. This
monitor does not display information going out through the modem port.
Site Reporting: SiteScan or SNMP
The SiteScan port sends UPS system information to a Liebert SiteScan Central Monitoring System. UPS opera-
tion, environmental control systems, and facility security can all be monitored from a single location. This infor-
mation can also be sent via SNMP interface to a local network or building management system.
If your site has SNMP communications, the optional Liebert SiteNet Integrator allows you to monitor the status
of all the dry-contact outputs of the Series 600T. The Integrator module monitors up to ten digital inputs and two
temperature/humidity sensors, and can control two external devices with contact closure outputs. It can be pro-
grammed to activate local audible and visual alarms in addition to network “traps.”
Remote Monitor Panel
The Liebert Remote Monitor Panel provides an LED indication of the following conditions:
Load On UPS
Load On Bypass
Battery Discharge
Low Battery Warning
Overload
Ambient Overtemp
System Summary Alarm
New Alarm
This information is also available for customer use through a set of contacts on a separate terminal board.
Alarm messages that activate the System Summary Alarm are listed in two tables—SCC and Module Remote
Monitor Indications and Other Alarms That Activate Summary Alarms—in 3.1.5 - System Configuration
Screens.
The Remote Monitor Panel housing is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, available for either surface-mount or flush-
mount installations.

3.2 Modes of Operation
This section illustrates the flow of power through circuit breakers, switches, and UPS components during various
modes of operation. An SCCB with three modules is shown. The same modes of operation apply to all configu-
rations of the Liebert Series 600T UPS multi-module system. Highlighted (thick) lines in the diagrams indicate
power flow and power availability.
These illustrations show a three-breaker maintenance bypass because it is most commonly used. Your installa-
tion may have a two-breaker, three-breaker, or four-breaker maintenance bypass, or none at all.
These illustrations do not show an alternate power source (generator) and automatic transfer switch (external to
the UPS) that might be present at your installation.
The following circuit breaker abbreviations are used:
3.2.1 Load On Bypass
Load on Bypass, with the UPS not available, is shown in Figure 47. The UPS system could be in this mode of
operation during either initial start-up or UPS system shutdown and isolation for maintenance.

3.2.2 OK To Transfer
The OK to Transfer status message will be displayed when the bypass line and UPS system output power are
both available, their voltage, frequency, and phase synchronization are matched within specifications, and the
Static Switch Disconnects are closed (ON). An alarm message may be displayed to indicate Load On Bypass. If
no alarm is displayed, the operating status is Load On UPS.
When the OK to Transfer message is displayed, you can perform a manual transfer of the load from the UPS sys-
tem to bypass, or a manual retransfer of the load from bypass to the UPS system.
Use the Load Transfer Procedures screen at the SCC when performing a manual transfer. Refer to 3.3.2 - Load
Transfer Procedures.
The UPS system control logic at the SCC will initiate an automatic transfer to bypass if an overload condition
exceeds the system current versus time window, or if a UPS module is taken off line while the system is operat-
ing in the non-redundant mode. An automatic retransfer to the UPS system may be initiated when recovering
from system overloads lasting less than five minutes. Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations.

3.2.3 Momentary Overloads
An overload in the critical load will continue to be supplied by the UPS system if the overload condition does not
exceed the current versus time curve of overload capacity for either the SCC rating or for the number of modules
on-line.
For momentary overloads exceeding 155% of rated system (SCC) current, the static switch turns on for 40 milli-
seconds to provide current from the bypass line in parallel with current from the UPS system output. Up to
1000% of rated current can be supplied for less than one cycle, while up to 500% of rated load can be sustained
for the full 40 milliseconds of pulsed-parallel operation. By providing two power sources simultaneously, high
current can be supplied to the critical load with full output voltage regulation. The critical load can be supported
through inrush currents and momentary faults without operating the motorized circuit breakers.
If an overload situation exceeds 40 milliseconds, the UPS system continues to supply power to the critical load if
it remains within the current versus time curve of overload capacity. If the system overload capacity is exceeded,
the UPS control logic at the SCC initiates an automatic transfer to the bypass line by operating the static bypass
switch and the motorized system circuit breakers (SBB and UPS Output).
Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations.

3.2.4 Input Power Failure (Load On Battery)
If the utility AC power source fails, or is outside the acceptable range, the battery plant becomes the power
source for the UPS module inverters. The UPS system continues to supply power to the critical load, and also to
the controls of the UPS modules and the SCC.
You can use the Battery Time screen at the UPS modules to monitor the present battery voltage compared to the
shutdown value. The length of time the battery can sustain the load depends on the size of the load and the size
and condition of the battery plant. The battery plant is usually large enough to supply a 100% rated load for 15
minutes.
Alarm messages that indicate battery status are Battery Discharge, Low Battery, and Battery Shutdown. The
voltage limits for these alarms are displayed on the UPS module Alarm Limit Settings screen. These limits were
selected for your installation by Liebert Global Services during initial start-up.
The battery block in the UPS module Monitor/Mimic Display indicates Charge or Discharge and the current in
Amperes. Maximum battery discharge current ranges from 324 amps (for 150 kVA) to 1620 amps (for 750
kVA). Refer to the separate Installation Manual or drawings for specific data on your system.

3.2.5 One Module Off-Line
A multi-module UPS system can be supplied with a back-up (redundant) UPS module, which is the typical con-
figuration. A redundant system includes one more module than the number required to supply the critical load. A
redundant system operates in the redundant mode if all modules are ON LINE. Note that the UPS system can
also operate in the redundant mode with one module OFF LINE if the critical load is reduced so that not all ON
LINE modules are required. The UPS modules share the load, and the critical load will remain on the UPS sys-
tem if any one of the modules is disconnected (goes OFF LINE) for maintenance or because of an internal fault.
The system control logic monitors the connected critical load and the number of UPS modules ON LINE. If the
UPS system is operating in the redundant mode, the REDUNDANT status message will be displayed at the Sys-
tem Control Cabinet (SCC). If the UPS system is operating in the non-redundant mode (redundant module is
OFF LINE or was not included in the system configuration), the NON-REDUNDANT status message is dis-
played at the SCC. In the Non-Redundant mode, the critical load will be transferred to bypass if any UPS module
goes OFF LINE, and you must transfer the load to bypass in order to perform maintenance on any UPS module.

3.2.8 Emergency Power Off
The Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) mode is used to remove all power from the critical load.
The Remote Emergency Power Off control is a switch located remotely from the UPS system. It will normally be
in the same room as the critical load equipment. This mode can also be initiated by an automatic contact closure
in the same external circuit as the manually operated switch.
When you operate the Emergency Power Off switch, all UPS circuit breakers are opened including the bypass
circuit breaker. All power through the UPS is removed from the load. Typically, the REPO circuit also opens the
circuit breakers that provide power to the bypass lines and the UPS controls.

3.2.10 Maintenance Bypass
Maintenance Bypass switchgear (cabinet, panelboard, switchboard or custom switchgear) allows you to totally
isolate the UPS system from all power sources, while you maintain power to the critical load.
Your installation may have a two-breaker, three-breaker, or four-breaker Maintenance Bypass, or none at all.
The main differences are the locations of the Rectifier Input Breaker and the Bypass Input Breaker (BIB).
Another option that may be present at your site is an alternate power source (generator) and an automatic transfer
switch (ATS).
Note that to totally isolate the UPS system from all power sources, the Main Input switchgear and battery circuit
breakers must also be opened.

3.3 Manual Procedures
The Liebert Series 600T UPS system is designed to function while unattended by an operator. The system con-
trol logic at the System Control Cabinet (SCC) monitors the performance of the UPS system, the availability of
power sources, and the current required by the critical load.
The system control logic at the SCC:
1. Determines what overload conditions can be sustained without a transfer to bypass.
2. Initiates an automatic transfer to bypass to sustain an overload.
3. Can initiate an automatic retransfer to the UPS after a system overload has been cleared.
4. Initiates an automatic transfer to bypass and emergency module shutdown when a specified UPS fault
occurs.
The control logic at each UPS module:
1. Determines what overload conditions can be sustained by the module while it is on-line.
2. Automatically takes the UPS module off line and initiates an emergency module shutdown when selected
UPS faults occur.
Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations for more details.
Manual procedures available to the operator include Start-Up, Load Transfers, and Shutdowns. These procedures
are performed by using the operator control panel and some manually operated circuit breakers and switches.
The LCD display at each UPS cabinet includes a screen to help you with each manual procedure by listing each
step you must perform.
This section lists step-by-step controls to operate and conditions to observe in the following manual procedures:
1. Start-Up: including initial start-up, recovering from input power failure, recovering from battery shutdown,
and recovering from shutdowns for emergencies or maintenance procedures
2. Load Transfers: including transfers from UPS system to bypass, and retransfers from bypass to the UPS
system.
3. Shutdowns: including module shutdowns for maintenance procedures and emergency shutdowns.

3.3.1 Start-Up Procedure
SCC Start-Up
When the UPS system has been shut down, for any reason, use this procedure to start-up the UPS system to pro-
vide filtered, reliable
power to the critical load. This procedure gives step-by-step instructions for controls to operate and conditions to
observe. Your present situation could be initial start-up or recovering from input power failure, battery shut-
down, maintenance shutdown, or an emergency shutdown.
If your installation includes a Maintenance Bypass, you may already be supplying power to the critical load
equipment through the Maintenance Bypass. If there is no power to the critical load, apply power through the
UPS bypass line per the following procedure.
During a start-up procedure, power is supplied to the critical load through the UPS (internal) bypass line while
the UPS system is being energized. Depending on the reason for your UPS system shutdown, you may already
have power through the bypass line. You can determine this by observing the Monitor/Mimic Display screen at
the System Control Cabinet (SCC) after Control Power is available.
Step 1. Before you apply power to the UPS modules, determine the position of the following circuit breakers and
switches:
a. Bypass Input Breaker (BIB) - If this circuit breaker is closed, you may already have power to the
critical load through the bypass line. If this breaker is closed, leave it closed. If it is open, leave it open
until you are ready to energize the bypass line.
b. System Bypass Circuit Breaker (SBB) - This motorized circuit breaker (Figure 9) should be closed
unless you are recovering from a Remote Emergency Power Off. You may already be supplying power
to the critical load through this breaker. If this breaker is open, you will be instructed to reset it later in
this procedure.
c. UPS Output Circuit Breaker - This motorized circuit breaker (see Figure 9) should be open.
d. Static Switch Disconnects - These manually operated switches (see Figure 9) will be in the ON
(closed) position unless you are recovering from a shutdown. If these switches are OFF (open), you will
be instructed to reset them and turn them on later in this procedure.
NOTE
The following procedure assumes that the UPS installation inspection and initial
start-up have been performed by Liebert Customer Service. A Liebert authorized
representative must perform the initial system start-up to ensure proper system
operation.
CAUTION
The following procedure provides power to the critical load distribution system.
Verify that the critical load distribution is ready to accept power. Make sure that
personnel and equipment are ready for the critical load distribution system to be
energized.
NOTE
Depending on SCC model, the static switch disconnects can be two circuit breakers,
contactors, or plug-in connections on a drawout carriage assembly. The location
could be at the front, right, or rear of the cabinet. Refer to the drawing of the SCC
cabinet selected for your UPS system.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
92 Operation
Power must be provided to the UPS controls so the operator can use the LCD display and so the system logic can
perform its control functions. Note that you can use the LCD display to monitor UPS system status, even when
the UPS modules are not operating.
During a start-up procedure, power is supplied to the critical load through the UPS (internal) bypass line while
the UPS modules are being energized. Depending on the reason for your UPS system shutdown, you may already
have power through the bypass line. You can determine this by observing the Monitor/Mimic Display screen at
the System Control Cabinet (SCC).
Step 2. If the bypass line is not supplying the load, the LCD screen will be blank. Energize the bypass line by
operating the following controls:
a. Close the Bypass Input Breaker (BIB). This breaker may be in your Maintenance Bypass cabinet.
b. Observe the Monitor/Mimic Display screen to determine if your System Bypass circuit breaker (SBB)
is closed and whether the UPS Bypass line is supplying power to the critical load.
If your System Bypass circuit breaker is open (as in recovering from an Emergency Power Off or Low
Battery Shutdown), close this circuit breaker as follows:
b1. Open the SCC control panel door and find the Transfer Relay Board (Figure 11). If the red LED
(CR18) labeled TOT S/D (Total Shutdown) is on, press the Bypass Reset switch (SW1) on this
board. The red LED should turn off.
b2. Set the Static Switch Disconnects (Figure 9) OFF (open).
NOTE
If the system was shut down in response to an “Emergency Off, there may be alarm
messages on the LCD screen that describe system conditions before (or at the time of)
the shutdown. Some or all of the alarm conditions may have already been resolved.
To clear these alarm messages, turn off the control power (see Figure 8 and
Figure 9). Wait at least ten minutes for the control power circuitry to completely de-
energize. After ten minutes, turn control power back on and wait two minutes before
continuing.
CAUTION
If you are recovering from a UPS system shutdown for maintenance procedures,
verify that all of the SCC doors are closed and latched. All test equipment must
be removed from the system. All electrical connections must be secure.
NOTE
Wait two minutes after applying bypass power before you operate any other UPS
controls.
CAUTION
DO NOT assume that the UPS System Bypass Breaker (SBB) is closed.
Instructions for operating the Maintenance Bypass circuit breakers are on the
Maintenance Bypass cabinet.
Make sure you understand the proper sequence before operating any circuit
breaker. Operating a Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker out of sequence could
cut off power to the critical load.
NOTE
Depending on SCC model, the static switch disconnects can be two circuit breakers,
contactors or plug-in connections on a drawout carriage assembly. The location
could be at the front, right, or rear of the cabinet. Refer to the drawing of the SCC
cabinet selected for your UPS system.

UPS Module Start-Up
When a UPS module has been shut down for any reason, use this procedure to start-up the UPS module to pro-
vide filtered, reliable power to the critical bus. This procedure gives step-by-step instructions for controls to
operate and conditions to observe. Your present situation could be initial start-up or recovering from input power
failure, battery shutdown, maintenance shutdown, or an emergency shutdown.
Perform this module start-up procedure at each module in your UPS system until all required modules are on-
line.
Step 1. Before you apply power to the UPS module, determine the position of the following circuit breakers and
switches:
a. Rectifier Input Breaker (RIB) - If this external circuit breaker is closed, you already have power to the
UPS cabinet and possibly power to the controls. If this breaker is closed, leave it closed. If it is open,
leave it open until you are ready to apply power to the UPS cabinet.
b. Input Circuit Breaker (CB1) - Verify that this breaker on the front of the UPS module cabinet
(Figure 8) is in the OFF position.
c. Module Battery Disconnect (MBD) - Verify that this external breaker is open or tripped.
d. Module Output Circuit Breaker (CB2) - Verify that this breaker on the front of the UPS module
cabinet (Figure 8) is in the OFF position.
e. Control Power - This manually operated switch (Figure 8) will be in the ON position unless you are
recovering from a maintenance shutdown. If this switch is OFF, leave it OFF until you are ready to
apply power to the UPS controls.
Power must be provided to the UPS module controls so you can use the LCD display and so the system logic can
perform its control functions. Note that you can use the LCD display to monitor UPS status, even when the UPS
module is not on-line. If the LCD display is operating, you already have Control Power. This will be the usual
condition, unless you are recovering from a maintenance shutdown.
Step 2. If the LCD screen is not operating, energize Control Power by operating the following two controls:
a. Close the Rectifier Input Breaker (RIB), which is outside the UPS cabinet. This will provide power to
the UPS cabinet but not to any UPS components.
b. Open the UPS cabinet door and close the Control Disconnect fuseholders to turn the Control Power ON.
See Figure 8. Close the UPS cabinet door.
Press the Select pad on the UPS module to put the Master Menu on the LCD display. Move the highlighted cur-
sor to Start-Up Procedures (use the Up and Down pads). Press the Select pad to display the Start-Up Procedures
screen. Return to this screen whenever you need to see the start-up instructions.
On the LCD display, select System Configuration from the Master Menu. Verify that all of the information con-
tained in the System Configuration screen is correct. When the data is correct, press the Select pad until the dis-
play returns to the Master Menu.
CAUTION
If you are recovering from a module shutdown for maintenance procedures,
verify that all of the UPS system doors are closed and latched, AU test
equipment must be removed from the system. AU electrical connections must be
secure.
NOTE
Wait two minutes after applying Control Power before you operate any other UPS
module controls.

input circuit breakers trip open to isolate and shut down all the UPS modules. Control Power for indicators and
alarms remains on.
Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO)
The Remote Emergency Power Off control (REPO) is a switch located remotely from the UPS system. It will
normally be in the same room as the critical load equipment.
The Remote Emergency Power Off switch removes all power to the critical load.
When you trip the Remote Emergency Power Off switch, all UPS circuit breakers are opened, including the
System Bypass circuit breaker (SBB). All power through the UPS is removed from the load. You will still have
power to the UPS controls, and you may have power to the static switch.

Operation 103
3.4 Automatic Operations
The Liebert Series 600T UPS system is designed to function while unattended by an operator. The system con-
trol logic monitors the performance of the UPS, the availability of power sources, and the current required by the
critical load.
The system control logic at the SCC
1. Determines what overload conditions can be sustained without a transfer to bypass.
2. Initiates an automatic transfer to bypass to sustain an overload.
3. Can initiate an automatic retransfer to the UPS after a system overload has been cleared.
4. Initiates an automatic transfer to bypass and emergency module shutdown when a specified UPS fault
occurs.
The control logic at each UPS module
1. Determines what overload conditions can be sustained by the module while it is on-line.
2. Automatically takes the UPS module off line and initiates an emergency module shutdown when selected
UPS faults occur.
3.4.1 Overloads (Without Transfer)
The UPS system is capable of sustaining full output voltage (±2% of the nominal voltage) for overload condi-
tions that remain within (under) the current versus time curve of system overload capacity and the capacity of
modules on-line (Figure 64). Note that the time scale is not linear. Load On UPS is illustrated in Figure 49.
For high current demands of short duration (momentary overloads) the critical load is supplied simultaneously
by both the UPS system and the bypass line. Whenever the critical load requires more than 155% of the capacity
of the modules on-line, the bypass line will supply up to 1000% rated system current through the solid state static
switch for 40 milliseconds. Refer to 3.2.3 - Momentary Overloads.
Whenever an overload condition occurs, you should determine the cause of the overload.
If an overload condition exceeds the UPS system overload capacity or the capacity of the modules on-line, the
UPS system initiates an automatic load transfer to the bypass line.
Figure 64 Current-Versus-Time Curves of Module Overload Capacity
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
104 Operation
3.4.2 Automatic Transfers to Bypass
The UPS system will initiate an automatic load transfer to the bypass line if an overload condition exceeds the
current versus time curve of system overload capacity, or capacity of the modules on-line, or if specified UPS
system faults occur. Note that when the UPS system is operating in the non-redundant mode, an automatic trans-
fer to bypass will be initiated when any UPS module is taken off line, either automatically or manually. Load On
Bypass is illustrated in Figure 48.
The Overload Transfer and Output Undervoltage alarm messages will initiate an automatic transfer to bypass and
the Load On Bypass message will be displayed. The status report screens will include the Automatic Transfer to
Bypass message. Other UPS system faults will initiate an automatic transfer to bypass followed immediately by
the shutdown and isolation of the UPS modules. Refer to 3.4.5 - Automatic Emergency Modules Off.
In an automatic transfer to bypass the UPS Output and System Bypass circuit breakers do not overlap as they do
in a manual transfer. The static bypass switch is fired (closed), the UPS Output circuit breaker is opened, and the
System Bypass circuit breaker is closed.
Bypass power is supplied to the critical load through the static bypass switch during the short time while both cir-
cuit breakers are open.
3.4.3 Automatic Retransfers to UPS
Automatic Retransfer to UPS is an option that you can select from the SCC System Configuration screen. If you
do not want the UPS system to initiate any automatic retransfers, set Max Auto-Rexfer Attempts to zero (0).
In an automatic retransfer, the two motorized circuit breakers (System Bypass and UPS Output) are both closed
simultaneously for a short period of time (overlap).
The following critical bus conditions must be present to initiate an automatic retransfer of the critical load from
the bypass source to the UPS system:
1. The number of Auto-Rexfer Attempts selected must be greater than zero (0). If zero (0) is selected, no
automatic retransfers will occur.
2. Critical load was initially transferred to the bypass source due to a system overload only. (A manually
initiated retransfer from bypass is required if the critical load exceeded the capacity of the modules on-line,
or if a UPS fault occurred.).
3. Overload has since dropped below 100% of the rated SCC current.
4. Enough UPS modules are on-line to supply the critical load.
5. OK to Transfer signal received from the control logic for at least 10 seconds, within 5 minutes of the system
overload transfer. (A manually initiated retransfer from bypass is required for overloads lasting 5 minutes or
more.)
6. Cyclic-type overloads, which occur up to five (select range is 0 to 5) times in 60 minutes, are automatically
returned to the UPS system for each event including the Nth overload. A manually initiated retransfer from
bypass is required for the N + 1 overload.
NOTE
A load transfer to the bypass line will be completed whenever an automatic transfer
to bypass is initiated If the OK to Transfer condition is present, the load transfer will
be uninterrupted. If the Static Switch Unable alarm message is present for any
reason, the automatic transfer will be interrupted for 40 to 120 milliseconds. Because
of the reliability of the UPS components, an interrupted load transfer is a very
unlikely occurrence.
DISCONTINUED
PROD UC T
Operation 105
3.4.4 Automatic Module Off-Line
For specified UPS module faults, the control logic will initiate an automatic isolation and shutdown of the UPS
module. In the Module Off-Line mode the output, battery (MBD), and input circuit breakers are open. If the UPS
system was operating in the redundant mode when the module was taken off-line, the critical load will remain on
the UPS system. If the UPS system was operating in the non-redundant mode, an automatic transfer to bypass
will be initiated. Note that the bypass line is usually not available during Low Battery Shutdown. One Module
Off-Line is illustrated in Figure 52.
The following UPS module faults will initiate an automatic Module Off-Line:
DC Over-Voltage Shutdown
Hardware Shutdown
Inverter Fault
Low-Battery Shutdown
Overload Shutdown
Over-Temperature Timeout
Rectifier Fuse Blown
Reverse Power
Refer to Table 1 for more information regarding these alarm messages.
3.4.5 Automatic Emergency Modules Off
For the specified UPS system fault, the control logic will initiate an automatic transfer to bypass followed imme-
diately by a shutdown and isolation of the UPS system. In the Emergency Modules Off mode the output, battery
(MBD), and input circuit breakers at each UPS module are open. The System Bypass Breaker (SBB) will be
closed if the bypass line is available. Emergency Modules Off is illustrated in Figure 54.
The following UPS system fault will initiate an automatic Emergency Modules Off:
Output Over Voltage
Refer to Table 1 for more information regarding alarm messages.
Your installation may include a Remote Emergency Power Off mode that can be initiated automatically by a
contact closure in the critical load equipment. Refer to 3.2.8 - Emergency Power Off.
NOTE
A load transfer to the bypass line will be completed whenever an automatic transfer
to bypass is initiated and the bypass line is available. If the OK to Transfer condition
is present, the load transfer will be uninterrupted. If the Static Switch Unable alarm
message is present for any reason, the automatic transfer will be interrupted for 40 to
120 milliseconds. Because of the reliability of the UPS components, an interrupted
load transfer is a very unlikely occurrence.

4.2 Liebert Global Services
Start-up, UPS maintenance, battery maintenance, and training programs are available for the Series 600T UPS
through your Liebert sales representative.
Professional Start-Up
UPS Start-Up - Liebert’s Customer Engineers perform a thorough non-powered inspection of the units, and will
then conduct a complete electrical checkout which includes calibrating all components to published specifica-
tions. The battery installation is also inspected and placed on an initialization charge to ensure cell equalization.
Customer Operation training will be conducted during battery charge time.
Load Bank Testing and Full Site Acceptance Testing are additional services that can be performed during a UPS
Start-Up. One Preventive Maintenance Service Call can be added to the initial UPS Start-Up Agreement.
Battery Installation/Start-Up - When purchased with a UPS Start-Up, this Agreement provides consistent, pro-
fessional service for your entire UPS system. This one-source approach avoids conflicts that may occur during a
multisource installation. Note that Liebert requires a mandatory installation inspection for all batteries not
installed by Liebert Customer Engineers.
Battery IEEE Certification Inspection - The Battery Specialist will perform a detailed inspection of the entire
battery system to ensure it meets current IEEE standards.
Maintenance Agreements: The Signature Program
UPS Service Agreements - Liebert Global Services (LGS) has a variety of available maintenance agreements,
depending on specific site needs. Choose the level of support appropriate for each installation. Mission-critical
sites can have the standard parts-and-labor, around-the-clock coverage for their UPS, with or without scheduled
preventive maintenance visits. Other sites can benefit from a variety of money-saving options.
As a rule of thumb, Liebert recommends two preventive maintenance visits per year for the UPS. The first can be
conducted with the UPS operational, and includes an infra-red scan of key UPS components. The annual visit
will require taking the UPS off-line for a thorough nonpowered inspection. These visits are in addition to the
general housekeeping tasks (changing air filters, etc.) that can be performed by customer personnel.
Battery Service Agreements - The same flexible Signature Program can also be applied to contracts for battery
maintenance. Again, the coverage needed will depend on the type of battery purchased and the degree of support
required from Liebert Global Services.
Training
Customer training courses include the proper operation of the system, emergency procedures, preventive mainte-
nance, and some corrective maintenance.
Warranties
Contact Liebert Global Services if you have any questions regarding the warranty on your Series 600T UPS or
the batteries.

Maintenance 109
4.3 Routine Maintenance
You are encouraged to become thoroughly familiar with the equipment, but at no time should you go beyond the
specific procedures in this manual while performing maintenance or correcting a malfunction. If you have any
doubt as to what must be done, call Liebert Global Services at 1-800-543-2378 for further instructions.
The UPS is designed for unattended operation, but does require some common sense maintenance.
• Keep good records.
Troubleshooting is easier if you have historical background.
• Keep it clean.
Maintain the UPS free of dust and any moisture.
• Keep it cool.
Battery systems must be kept in the range of 72-77°F (22-26°C) in order to meet design specifications for
capacity and longevity.
The UPS will reliably meet all performance specifications at temperatures up to 104°F (40°C), and can be
slightly aerated for operation at even higher temperatures. However, performance and longevity will be opti-
mized when the UPS is operated at the same temperature as the batteries.
• Keep connections tight.
Tighten all connections at installation and at least annually thereafter. (See torque requirements, Ta ble 4.)
4.3.1 Record Log
Set up a maintenance log to record scheduled checks and any abnormal conditions.
The log should have space for all metered parameter indications including phase readings, alarm messages, UPS
mode of operation, air filter replacement date, and observation notes. A second log should be maintained for the
battery module as directed by the battery manufacturer.
A periodic walk-through inspection of the UPS and battery rooms is advised to check for visible and audible
indications of problems. Log the inspection, metered parameter indications, and any discrepancies.
4.3.2 Air Filters
A schedule for inspection of the air filters is required. The period between inspections will depend upon environ-
mental conditions. Under normal conditions, the air filters will require service or replacement approximately
every two months.
All T-UPS models have replaceable filter elements built into the full-width grille across the front of the unit. This
element can be changed from the front, with the UPS operating.
Series 600T models rated 300 kVA and higher also have recyclable filters built into the front of their base assem-
blies. These metal filter elements can be removed, washed in water, dried and returned to service.
Abnormal or dusty conditions will require more frequent cleaning and replacement of air filters. Inspect installa-
tions in new buildings more often, then extend the inspection period as experience dictates.
CAUTION
Be certain recyclable filter elements are dry before reinstalling them in the UPS.

DANGER
Les accumulateurs plomb-acide contiennent de la matière comportant un
certain risque. Les accumulateurs doivent être manipulés, transportés et
recyclés ou éliminés en accord avec les lois fédérales, provinciales et locales.
Parce que le plomb est une substance toxique, les accumulateurs plomb-acide
devraient etre recyclés plutôt qu’éliminés.
Il ne faut pas brûlé le ou les accumulateurs. L’accumulateur pourrait alors
explosé.
Il ne faut pas ouvrir ou endommager le ou les accumulateurs. L’électrolyte qui
pourrait s’en échapper est dommageable pour la peau et les yeux.
Un accumulateur représente un risque de choc électrique et de haut courant de
court-circuit. Lorsque des accumulateurs sont manipules, les mesures
préventives suivantes devraient être observées:
1. Retirer toutes montre, bagues ou autres objets métalliques.
2. Utiliser des outils avec manchon isolé.
3. Porter des gants et des bottes de caoutchouc.
4. Ne pas déposer les outils ou les pièces métalliques sur le dessus des
accumulateurs.
5. Interrompre la source de charge avant de raccorder ou de débrancher les
bornes de la batterie d’accumulateurs.
6. Déterminer si l’accumulateur est mis à la terre par erreur. Si oui, défaire
cette mise à la terre. Tout contact avec un accumulateur mis à la terre peut
se traduire en un choc électrique. La possibilitié de tels chocs sera réduité si
de telles mises à la terre sont débranchées pour la durée de l’installation ou
de l’entretien.
Les accumulateurs plomb-acide présentent un risque d’incendie parce qu’ils
génèrent des gaz à l’hydrogène. Les procédures suivantes devront être
respectées.
1. NE PAS FUMER lorsque près des accumulateurs.
2. NE PAS produire de flammes ou d’étincelles près des accumulateurs.
3. Décharger toute électricité statique présente sur votre corps avant de
toucher un accumulateur en touchant d’abord une surface métallique mise à

DANGER
L’électrolyte est un acide sulfurique dilué qui est dangereux au contact de la
peau et des yeux. Ce produit est corrosif et aussi conducteur electrique. Les
procédures suivantes devront être observées:
1. Porter toujours des vêtements protecteurs ainsi que des lunettes de
protection pour les yeux.
2. Si l’électrolyte entre en contact avec la peau, nettoyer immédiatement en
rincant avec de l’eau.
3. Si l’électrolyte entre en contact avec les yeux, arroser immédiatement et
généreusement avec de l’eau. Demander pour de l’aide medicale.
4. Lorsque l’electrolyte est renversée, la surface affectée devrait être nettoyée
en utilisant un agent neutralisant adéquat. Une pratique courante est
d’utiliser un mélange d’approximativement une livre (500 grammes) de
bicarbonate de soude dans approximativement un gallon (4 litres) d’eau. Le
mélange de bicarbonate de soude devra être ajouté jusqu’à cc qu’il n’y ait

Maintenance 113
Regular maintenance of the battery module is an absolute necessity. Periodic inspections of battery and terminal
voltages, specific gravity, and connection resistance should be made. Strictly follow the procedures outlined in
the battery manufacturer’s manual.
Valve-regulated lead-acid (sealed-top) batteries do require periodic maintenance. Though they do not require
maintenance of electrolyte levels, battery voltage and connection resistance checks should be made.
Since individual battery characteristics are not identical, and may change over time, the UPS module is equipped
with circuitry to equalize battery cell voltages. This circuit increases charging voltage to maintain flooded type
battery cells at full capacity.
The equalizing charge time period is adjustable from zero to 72 hours and can be initiated automatically or man-

114 Maintenance
Matching Battery Cabinets (Optional)
Although the individual battery cells are sealed (valve-regulated) and require only minimal maintenance, the
Battery Cabinets should be given a periodic inspection and electrical check. Checks should be performed at least
annually to ensure years of trouble-free service.
Voltage Records. With the Battery Cabinet DC circuit breaker closed and the connected UPS operating, mea-
sure and record battery float voltage. With the DC circuit breaker open, measure and record the nominal (open
circuit) voltage. Both these measurements should be made across the final positive and negative terminal lugs.
Compare these values with those shown below. The recorded nominal voltage should be no less than the value
shown, while the recorded float voltage should be within the range shown. If a discrepancy is found, contact Lie-
bert Global Services.
Power Connections. Check for corrosion and connection integrity. Visually inspect wiring for discolored or
cracked insulation. Clean and/or retighten as required. Refer to torque specifications in Table 4.
Battery Cell Terminals. Check for discoloration, corrosion, and connection integrity. Clean and tighten if nec-
essary. Note that when installing a new battery, the initial torque value is 5 lb.-in. more than the retorque value.
Retorque values are:
If you have a different model battery, contact Liebert Global Services for the required torque value.
To access battery cell terminals, disconnect the inter-tier cable and two shelf retaining screws. Once discon-
nected, insulate (with protective boot or electrical tape) the cables to prevent accidental shorts. The battery shelf
can now be pulled out. Tighten each terminal connection to the retorque value. When replacing a battery, the ter-
minal connections must be cleaned and tightened. Disconnect and insulate the cables connected to the battery.
Secure each battery shelf with retaining screws when maintenance is complete.
Rack-Mounted Batteries
If the UPS system uses a battery other than a factory-supplied Matching Battery Cabinet, perform maintenance
on the battery as recommended in the battery manufacturer’s maintenance manual.
4.3.4 Torque Requirements
All electrical connections must be tight. Table 4 provides the torque values for the connections in the UPS.

4.4 Detection of Trouble
There is no practical way to anticipate an impending malfunction. It is important that the operator check the
instrument readings if abnormal equipment performance is suspected.
Items to check include:
1. Output voltage of all phases should be within 2% of normal voltage. Output currents on each phase should
not normally differ by more than 20%. If a greater difference is noted, the load is unbalanced and corrective
action should be taken to redistribute the load, if possible.
2. If the UPS has not operated on battery power during the last 10 hours, the batteries should require little
charging current. Battery mimic should indicate normal DC voltage with the battery charge current no more
than 31 Amperes.
3. Input current on each phase should be within 10% of the average input current.
4. Alarm messages indicate malfunction or impending malfunction. A daily check of the Operator Control
Panel will help to provide an early detection of problems. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 in 3.0 - Operation
to interpret alarm messages.
5. Tracing a problem to a particular section is facilitated by alarm messages and the metered parameter
indications. These are stored in the Status Reports and can be displayed at the Operator Control Panel or at
an optional terminal. The Liebert Customer Service Engineer will also be familiar with test points inside the
unit.

5.0 SPECIFICATIONS AND RATINGS
5.1 Rating
The kVA and kW ratings and the nominal voltages and currents for continuous operation are listed on the unit
nameplates (inside Operator Control Panel door) and on the System One-Line Diagram. The UPS is rated to
deliver rated kVA and rated kW at 0.8 lagging power factor (pf), or 0.9 lagging pf for some models. However,
the UPS will operate connected loads with power factors ranging from 0.7 lagging through 1.0 (unity).
Connected load kW and kVA are both displayed on the LCD screen when the UPS is powering the load. Power
factor may be easily calculated by kW ÷ kVA = pf.
For load power factors between 0.7 lagging and the rated power factor (usually 0.8 or 0.9), the full kVA rating of
the unit is available. However, above the rated pf the kW rating will become the limiting factor. Note that some
models are specifically rated for a 0.9 lagging output power factor.
For loads with power factors below 0.7 lagging or with leading power factors, the UPS output is kVA limited and
the UPS System may not meet all of its output performance specifications. Consult your Liebert sales representa-
tive for performance specifications for these applications.

5.4 Battery Operation
The separate battery manufacturer’s manual provides the necessary information for the installation, operation,
and maintenance of the battery. Use the battery manual in conjunction with this manual.
The float charge voltage for a battery is equal to the number of cells in series making up the battery multiplied by
the charge voltage for each cell.
Since the charging voltage level is critical to proper battery operation, refer to your battery manual for informa-
tion regarding your system.
For 150-750 kVA models with nominal 240 cell battery, the DC bus nominal voltage range is 527 to 576 VDC.
For 65-125 kVA models (with 240 cell battery only), the DC bus nominal voltage range is 534-574 VDC. Maxi-
mum equalize voltage is 585 VDC. Battery voltage at end of discharge is 386 VDC at the UPS terminals (389
VDC at the battery). The number of battery cells required will range from 236 to 244, depending on the UPS
model and your application.
