Figure 1-4 UPS operating principle

  1. The UPS is composed of mains input (main and bypass), rectifier/PFC, charger, inverter, bypass, battery, DSP controller, and output.
  2. When the mains is normal, the rectifier will start, and the charger will charge the battery string. Before turning on the UPS, the output voltage is bypass voltage, and the mains supplies power to the load through the bypass. After turning on the UPS, the electronic transfer switch connects the inverter output to the load, and the mains supplies DC power to the inverter through the rectifier/PFC circuit. The inverter then converts DC power into pure sine wave AC power, and supplies the AC power to the load through the electronic transfer switch.
  3. When the mains is outside the UPS input supply tolerance levels, the battery supplies the required power to the load through the rectifier/PFC circuit where the battery voltage is boosted, and then supplies to the Inverter where it converts DC into pure sinewave AC power.
  4. After the input mains returns within tolerance levels, the UPS will automatically transfer from Battery mode to Normal mode, the mains supplies DC power to the inverter through the rectifier/PFC circuit, and then the electronic transfer switch supplies AC power to the load.

1.5 UPS State And Operation Mode

For the LED indicators introduced in this section, refer to 4.1.1 LED Indicators.

The UPS state and operation mode include: Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode, ECO mode, Fault state and Maintenance Bypass mode. The operation schematic diagrams of Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode and Maintenance Bypass mode are shown in Figure 1-5 to Figure 1-8.

Liebert ITA2 - UPS State And Operation Mode - 1

Maintenance bypass mode is activated only when the UPS output power distribution unit (POD in short) is selected.

1.5.1 Normal Mode

When the mains input is normal, the load is supplied with voltage-stabilizing and frequency-stabilizing power by the mains after processing of the rectifier and the inverter, and meanwhile, the charger is charging the battery. This operation mode is Normal mode.

In Normal mode, the run indicator (green) is ON, the alarm indicator is OFF, and the buzzer is silenced.

    E --> H["UPS output"]

Figure 1-5 Normal mode

1.5.2 Bypass Mode

If the overload overtime, inverter or rectifier failure occurs during the UPS operation in Normal mode, the UPS will be transferred to Bypass mode, i.e. the load is powered by the bypass source, which comes directly from the mains input. If the rectifier is normal, the internal charger will charge the battery.

In Bypass mode, the run indicator (green) is ON, alarm indicator (yellow) is ON, and the buzzer beeps every second. The 'Current' page in LCD will display 'On Bypass'.

Figure 1-6 Bypass mode

Liebert ITA2 - Bypass Mode - 2

In case of mains failure or mains voltage is out of range in Bypass mode, the UPS will shut down and stop the output.

1.5.3 Battery Mode

Upon mains failure or voltage out of range, the rectifier and internal charger will stop running, and the battery will supply power to the load through the inverter. In Battery mode, the run indicator (green) is ON, alarm indicator (yellow) is ON, and the buzzer beeps every second. The 'Current' page in LCD will display 'On Battery'.

Liebert ITA2 - Battery Mode - 2

  1. The battery has been fully charged before delivery. However, some loss of capacity is inevitable during transportation and storage. Therefore, it is important to charge the battery for eight hours before the UPS is first put into operation to ensure it can provide adequate backup time.

  2. The Liebert ITA2 UPS supports cold start function, while this function is activated, UPS can be powered using battery mode without availability of input power supply. Therefore, the battery power can also be utilized independently for improving the system availability.

1.5.4 ECO Mode (For Single UPS With External Battery Only)

In ECO mode, the load is powered by bypass when the bypass voltage is normal, and the load is powered by inverter when the bypass voltage is abnormal. ECO mode is an energy-saving operation mode. For power equipment that is insensitive to power grid quality, use the ECO mode for power supply through bypass to reduce the power loss.

Liebert ITA2 - ECO Mode (For Single UPS With External Battery Only) - 1

  1. In ECO mode, if the bypass fails or abnormal bypass voltage appears when the output is not overloaded, the UPS is transferred to Normal mode. However, if the bypass fails or abnormal bypass voltage appears when the output is overloaded, the UPS will not be transferred to Normal mode, but will shut down the bypass.
  2. In ECO mode, the efficiency of the UPS is up to 99%.

1.5.5 Fault State

In Normal mode, the load on the UPS is transferred to Bypass mode if the inverter fails or UPS over-temperature appears. In Battery mode (with no bypass mains), the UPS will shut down and stop the output if the inverter fails or UPS over-temperature appears. In UPS Fault state, the alarm indicator (red) will be solid ON, the buzzer will keep beeping, and the corresponding fault information will be displayed on LCD.

1.5.6 Maintenance Bypass Mode (With an optional POD)

In case when UPS needs to be maintained/reapired online, Load can be transferred to the maintenance bypass using maintenance bypass MCB located on the front panel of the POD. The POD capacity must meets the requirements of total load demand.

Refer to Liebert ITA2 ^TM 5 & 6kVA UPS POD Unit User Manual, Liebert ITA2 ^TM 10kVA UPS POD Unit User Manual, and Liebert ITA2 ^TM 16 & 20kVA UPS POD Unit User Manual for detailed instructions.

  2. Check the accessories and models against the delivery list. If any problem is found, please notify the dealer immediately.

2.2 UPS Moving

Liebert ITA2 - UPS Moving - 1

It is prohibited to move the UPS through the brackets.

The UPS cabinet can be moved by human, or forklift or other similar lifting equipment.

2.3 Installation Preparation

2.3.1 Location

In order to extend the UPS life, the selected place must offer:

  • Convenient wiring
    Adequate operator access area
    Good ventilation to meet the heat dissipation requirements
    No corrosive gas, such as sulfur dioxide and so on
    No excessive moisture or heat source
    No excessive dust
    Compliance with fire-fighting requirements
    Operating temperature compliant with the specifications, see Table 1-2 for details

2.3.2 Environmental Requirement

UPS room

The UPS is designed for indoor installation, which should be installed in a clean and well-ventilated environment, to keep the ambient temperature within the specifications.

The internal fans provide forced air cooling for the UPS. Cooling air enters the UPS through the ventilation holes on the front panel, and exhausts the hot air through the back ventilation holes. Therefore, do not obstruct the ventilation holes. Maintain at least 200mm clearances between the front, rear of the UPS and the wall or adjacent equipment (see Figure 2-5), to avoid obstructing the UPS ventilation and heat dissipation. Otherwise, the UPS internal temperature will rise, which will shorten the UPS life.

If necessary, an indoor exhaust fan should be installed to keep the indoor temperature from rising. An air filter should be used in a dusty environment where the UPS is to be operated.

Space reserved

Liebert ITA2 - Space reserved - 1

text_image Wall 500mm Cabinet

Figure 2-5 Installation clearances (top view of rack installation)

Liebert ITA2 - Space reserved - 2

  1. The UPS should only be installed on concrete or other non-flammable surfaces.

  2. As shown in Figure 2-5, the demonstration of the clearance between the rear panel of the cabinet and the wall is 500mm. The clearance should not be less than 200mm, it needs to be considered according to the actual situation for the sake of maintenance convenience.

Battery room

A small amount of hydrogen and oxygen will be generated at the end of battery charging, therefore, you must ensure that the fresh air ventilation of battery installation environment meets the EN50272-2001 requirements.

The battery ambient temperature should keep constant, for the ambient temperature is the main factor to affect the battery capacity and life. The battery standard operating temperature is 20^ C, operation above this temperature will shorten the battery life, and operation below this temperature will reduce the battery capacity. If the battery average temperature in operation rises from 20^ C to 30^ C, the battery life will be reduced by 50%; if the battery temperature in operation exceeds 40^ C, the battery life will be decreased exponentially. In normal situation, the allowable ambient temperature for the battery is between 15^ C to 25^ C. The battery should be kept away from heat source and air outlet.

When the UPS uses an external battery, you must install a battery protective device (such as fuse or circuit breaker) close to the battery, and use the shortest wiring distance for the connection between the protective device and the battery.

Storage environment

When the UPS does not need to be installed immediately, the UPS must be stored indoors to be protected from the excessive moisture or over-temperature environment. The battery requires dry and low temperature, well-ventilated environment for storage, and the most suitable storage temperature is 20^ C \~ 25^ C.

Liebert ITA2 - Storage environment - 1

Battery hazards

During the battery storage, the battery must be periodically charged according to the battery instructions. When charging the battery, you can connect the UPS to the mains temporarily to charge and activate the battery.

2.3.3 Installation Tools

Liebert ITA2 - Installation Tools - 1

  1. For the sake of safety, the installation tools under live operation must be insulated.

2.4 External Protective Devices

The circuit breaker or other protective devices must be installed at the external AC input end of the UPS. This section provides the general guidance for qualified installation engineer. The qualified installation engineer should learn about the local wiring regulations and other related information.

2.4.1 Rectifier And Bypass Input

Overcurrent

The appropriate over-current protective device should be installed on the mains input power distribution, and the current capacity of power cable and the system overload requirements should be taken into account during installation (see Table 2-2). For the thermomagnetic circuit breaker, see Table 2-4.

Split-bypass

When the system uses split-bypass, separate protective devices should be installed for the mains and bypass at the mains input power distribution.

Main/Bypass backfeed protection

The UPS has main/bypass backfeed protection function.

Liebert ITA2 - Main/Bypass backfeed protection - 1

  1. The same neutral line must be used for the rectifier and bypass input power.
  2. For IT power grid system, the 4-pole protective device for 3-phase UPS must be installed at the UPS external I/O power distribution while the 2-pole protective device for 1-phase UPS must be installed at the UPS external I/O power distribution.

Earth leakage current

Liebert ITA2 - Earth leakage current - 1

The earth leakage current fed by the RFI filter in the UPS, ranges from 0-20mA. Since earth leakage current is high which can cause false tripping of the Circuit breaker. Therefore, we do not recommend to use the MCB with leakage current protection at upstream.

2.4.2 Battery Input

If the battery module option is provided by Vertiv, the battery module has a built-in overcurrent protective device. Otherwise, the external battery cabinet should provide DC compatible circuit breaker to provide the over-current protection for the UPS and its batteries.

2.4.3 UPS Output

The protective device must be installed for the UPS output power distribution. The protective device specification is shown in Table 2-4.

2.5 Mechanical Installation

Two installation modes are available: tower installation and rack installation. You can select an appropriate installation mode according to the actual conditions.

2.5.1 Tower Installation

3 Parallel UPS Installation And Commissioning

This chapter introduces the features, requirements, installation and commissioning of the parallel system.

The UPS parallel system provides the user with N + X ( 2 ≤ N + X ≤ 4 , X = 0 or 1) parallel configuration, N stands for the basic parallel sets, X stands for the redundant sets.

1 + 1 parallel POD (optional) can provide safe and reliable power distribution function for the parallel system. The 1 + 1 parallel system only needs one 1 + 1 parallel POD; if N is not less than two, the external isolation will be required for the parallel system.

3.1 Features

  1. The software and the hardware of each UPS in parallel system are same as those of the single UPS. The basic parameters of the parallel system can be set through the LCD (Refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting for details), and the detailed parameters can be set through the background software (For service engineers only). For all UPSs of the parallel system, the requirements of the parameter settings are same.

  2. The parallel cables form a ring connection (Refer to 3.4.2 Connecting Parallel Cables for details) to provide reliability and redundancy for the system. The intelligent parallel logic provides the user with maximum flexibility. For example, each UPS in the parallel system can be switched off or on in random order; seamless transfer can be achieved between Normal mode and Bypass mode, and the transfer is automatically recoverable: that is, after the overload is removed, the system will automatically return to the original operation mode.

  3. The total load of the parallel system can be queried through the LCD of each UPS.

3.2 Requirements

A UPS system composed of multiple parallel-connected UPSs is equivalent to a large UPS system. Nevertheless, it provides increased system reliability. To ensure equal utilization of all UPSs and compliance with relevant wiring regulations, the following requirements must be met:

  1. All single UPSs must have the same capacity. The 10kVA/16kVA/20kVA UPS must be connected to the same bypass source.

  2. The bypass input power (10kVA/16kVA/20kVA only) and the rectifier input power must be connected to the same neutral line input terminal.

  3. If a residual current detector (RCD) is required, it must be set correctly and installed before the same neutral line input terminal, or it must monitor the protective earth current of the system. Refer to 'Warning: high leakage current' of Safety Precautions before Contents.

  4. The outputs of all single UPSs must be connected to the same output bus.

  5. Since the UPS parallel system is not fitted with any auxiliary contact detection devices for the output MCB or the maintenance bypass MCB of the UPS, removing the single UPS from the parallel system before maintenance and adding the single UPS into the parallel system after maintenance must be conducted strictly following the procedures mentioned in 5.2 Transfer Procedures Between Operation Modes. Failure to observe this may affect the reliability of the load power supply.

3.3 Mechanical Installation

Considering the 16kVA/20kVA rack installation of the 1 + 1 parallel system without battery module for example, the mechanical installation method of the parallel system is as follows:

  1. The installation method of 1 + 1 parallel UPS is the same as that of the single UPS. Refer to 2.5. Mechanical Installation for details.

  2. As shown in Figure 3-1, the UPS should be installed at the bottom; and the 1 + 1 parallel POD should be installed on the top to facilitate the cable connection and operation. The installation method of 1 + 1 parallel POD is the same as that of the UPS.

3.4 Connecting Power Cables

Each single UPS of the parallel system needs to configure the MCB and cables respectively, refer to 2.6 Connecting Power Cables for the specification. The recommended configurations of the total power cables are listed in Table 3-1 to Table 3-4 for the parallel system.

3.4.1 Connecting I/O Cables

The power cables of the UPS are connected to the I/O terminal block of the rear panel of the UPS, the layout of the I/O terminal block is shown in 2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables.

Power distribution mode

There are two modes for UPS parallel power distribution: using the 1 + 1 parallel POD (optional) provided by Vertiv, external isolation.

The power distribution mode of the parallel system is the same as that of the single unit, refer to 2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables.

1. Using parallel POD power distribution

It is recommended to use 1 + 1 parallel POD power distribution mode if you need 1 + 1 parallel system, for the installation and commissioning of different models, refer to Liebert® ITA2™ 5kVA And 6kVA UPS Power Output Distribution Unit User Manual,

Liebert® ITA2™ 10kVA UPS Power Output Distribution Unit User Manual, and Liebert® ITA2™ 16kVA And 20kVA UPS Power Output Distribution Unit User Manual.

2. External isolation for the parallel system

When the UPS number of the parallel system is more than two, use external isolation mode.

The block diagram of three UPSs parallel system is shown in Figure 3-2. Refer to Power distribution mode in

2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables for the cable connection of each UPS. Refer to 2.6

Connecting Power Cables for the input and output MCB, the battery MCB and the cables when using the external isolation mode.

Configure each UPS with external input MCB and external output MCB when carrying out the power distribution for the parallel system, as shown in Figure 3-2.

Liebert ITA2 - External isolation for the parallel system - 3

After connecting power cables, the protective cover of the I/O terminal block must be reinstalled to avoid electric shock.

Changing power distribution mode (16kVA/20kVA only)

The 16kVA/20kVA model is compatible with 3-in 3-out/3-in 1-out, factory default: 3-in 3-out.

If you need to change the mode from 3-in 3-out to 3-in 1-out or from 3-in 1-out to 3-in 3-out, carry out the parallel connection after changing the single system to the needed system (Refer to 2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables for the changing method).

3.4.2 Connecting Parallel Cables

The parallel system provides parallel cable option. The parallel cables form a ring connection through the parallel ports on the rear panel of the UPS. Taking 16kVA/20kVA model for example, the cable connection schematic diagram of 3 + 1 parallel system is shown in Figure 3-3.

Liebert ITA2 - Connecting Parallel Cables - 1

text_image UPS1 UPS2 UPS3 UPS4

Figure 3-3 Cable connection schematic diagram of 3 + 1 parallel system (16kVA/20kVA)

Liebert ITA2 - Connecting Parallel Cables - 2

  1. The Vertiv parallel cables must be used for the parallel system.
  2. If the parallel communication fault occurs during the parallel commissioning or operation, just shut off the system and check whether the connection of the parallel cables is correct.
  3. During parallel system operation, do not unplug the parallel cables to avoid system damage risk.

3.4.3 Connecting Battery Cables

In the parallel system, the 16kVA/20kVA UPS can support either Distributed battery System (Independent battery systems on each UPS unit) or Centralized battery system (Shared battery system by UPS units). The 5kVA/6kVA/10kVA UPS can only support distributed battery arrangement.

Liebert ITA2 - Connecting Battery Cables - 1

Each UPS should be equipped with an independent battery MCB. Refer to Table 2-4 for selection of the battery MCB.

In Distributed Battery System

When each UPS of the parallel system uses the independent battery string, the battery cables connection of each UPS in the parallel system is the same as that of the single UPS, refer to 2.6.2 section for Battery cable connections. The schematic diagram of battery strings in 1 + 1 parallel system with independent battery strings is shown in Figure 3-4. Refer to 2.6 section for connecting power cables to configure an MCB.

Liebert ITA2 - In Distributed Battery System - 1

Ensure that the LCD settings are correct when using the battery strings independently for the parallel system, refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Settings for details.

Centralized Battery System (16kVA/20kVA only)

Using the centralized battery arrangement in the parallel system can save user's investment in equipment.

Liebert ITA2 - Centralized Battery System (16kVA/20kVA only) - 1

  1. If the battery strings (four standard battery modules, option) are shared in parallel system, the backup time of the battery module ranges from two minutes to three minutes at full load.

  2. To ensure the abundant backup time of the battery, it is recommended to use the external battery cabinet with larger capacity.

Wiring

Power off the parallel system completely, disconnect the battery MCBs of all single UPSs, and then use battery cables (refer to 2.6 Connecting Power Cables for the cables and the MCBs) to connect '+', 'N', '-' and 'PE' terminals of the battery strings respectively to 'BAT+', 'BAT-', 'BAT N' and 'PE' terminals of the corresponding I/O terminal block of the UPS in the parallel system through each battery MCB, as shown in Figure 3-5.

3.5 Commissioning Parallel System

3.5.1 Check Before Start-Up

  1. Check and confirm that power distribution mode of the UPS and the 1 + 1 parallel POD (if configured) is correct; that connections of the power cables and the signal cables are correct and there is no short circuit.
  2. Check that the battery installation and cable connection is correct and there is no short circuit, and that the positive pole and negative pole of the battery are correct. Especially when each UPS of the 16kVA/20kVA parallel system shares the battery strings, check these items carefully.
  3. Check all the working status of the parallel system, ensure that the phase sequence of the main, bypass (10kVA/16kVA/20kVA) and output of each UPS is correct and consistent, that the connection of the parallel cable is reliable, and that the user load is not connected during power-on.
  4. Measure and confirm that the mains voltage and frequency are normal.
  5. The output terminals of the UPS and the 1 + 1 parallel POD (if configured) are energized upon the start-up. If the load is connected with the output terminals, ensure that the power to the load is safe.

Liebert ITA2 - Check Before Start-Up - 1

The output terminals of the UPS and the POD (if configured) will be live upon start-up. When bypass of the single UPS in the parallel system is not consistent, the system fault may occur, check and confirm the bypass before power-on.

3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting

The parallel parameters for all the UPSs in the parallel system should be set. As shown in Figure 3-7.

Liebert ITA2 - Parallel System Parameters Setting - 1

text_image Output Battery Parallel Voltage selection 230V Frequency selection Auto,Bypa... Run mode Normal Redundant YES System parallel num 1 Output phase No. 3phase Sync parallel parameters

Figure 3-7 Settings for parallel parameters

The user can change these settings according to actual needs, refer to Appendix 1 LCD Parameters Setting for details. After the change, press the last item 'Sync parallel parameters' to validate the setting.

3.5.3 Power-On Commissioning For Parallel System

  1. Set the parallel parameters of each UPS in the parallel system, then commission the inverter.

The specific commissioning procedures are as follows:

a) Make sure that the output MCBs of all UPSs in the parallel system are open, and then close the external input MCB of each UPS in the parallel system, the UPS is powered on at the same time. If 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, close the corresponding input MCB and bypass MCB. At the same time, close the corresponding output MCB of the other UPS which is being tested, and make sure that the corresponding output MCB of the other UPS is open.

Liebert ITA2 - Power-On Commissioning For Parallel System - 1

After the UPS external output MCB or POD output MCB is closed, the UPS output terminal block, POD output terminal block and load will be live, pay attention to personnel safety to avoid electric shock. Note whether it is safe to feed power to load.

b) The LCD displays the self check screen, and the alarm indicator (red) and run indicator (green) are ON at the same time for about five seconds.

3.6 Installation And Commissioning For Dual Bus System (16kVA/20kVA Only)

3.6.1 Introduction

The dual bus system consists of two independent UPS systems; each UPS system consists of one or two parallel-connected single UPSs, or more parallel-connected single UPSs.

The dual bus system has high reliability, which is suitable for the load with many input terminals. For single UPS input load, you can add a Static Transfer Switch (STS, optional) to start the standard Load Bus Synchronization (LBS) system.

Place the UPSs side by side, and connect the UPSs as follows:

The dual bus system adopts the LBS system to realize the output synchronization of the two independent (or parallel) UPS systems. One is the master system, and the other is the slave system. The operation mode of the dual bus system contains master system and/or slave system running in Normal mode or Bypass mode. The schematic diagram of the LBS system built by two UPSs is shown in Figure 3-8.

Refer to 3.5 Commissioning Parallel System respectively for the settings of the parallel system.

3.6.2 Installing External Protective Device

See 2.4 External Protective Device for details of installation and type selection.

3.6.3 Connecting Power Cables

In dual bus system, refer to 2.6 Connecting Power Cables and 3.4 Connecting Power Cables to select the power cables for single UPS and parallel system respectively. The bypass input power and main input power must use the input terminal of the same neutral line. If the input terminal has leakage current, the leakage current protective device should be installed before the input terminal.

3.6.4 Connecting LBS Cables

Liebert ITA2 - Connecting LBS Cables - 1

  1. The appearance of the LBS port is the same as the parallel port (see Figure 1-3).
  2. For the dual bus system formed by the parallel UPS, it is recommended to prepare two LBS cables used to connect any two parallel/LBS ports of the two parallel system, which is used for reliable connection.

3.6.5 Setting Parameters Of LBS

The LBS parameters setting interface is shown in Figure 3-10.

Procedures for setting LBS parameters:

Through the 'Settings' -> 'System' -> 'LBS', you can set the LBS according to actual needs.

There are three items of LBS for selection: Disable, Slave, Master.

Figure 3-10 LBS parameters setting interface

The LBS is the load synchronous system, which is used to implement the output voltage phase synchronization of the two sets of UPS system. Two sets of UPS system can be two single UPS or two sets of UPS parallel system.

You can manually set the 'Master' and 'Slave' through the LCD.

The UPS which is set to LBS master can send synchronization signal to LBS salve according to the own inverter voltage phase. After the slave receives the synchronization signal sent by the master, the slave will adjust its inverter voltage phase so as to realize the inverter voltage phase is synchronized with the master.

Through the above to realize the inverter voltage phase synchronization of two sets of UPS system, and realize the reliable transfer between the two sets of UPS output voltage and STS, then provide the reliable uninterrupted power supply to the load.

The I/O dry contact port capacity: 125Vdc, 0.5A; 30Vdc, 1A.

Pin11 and Pin12 reserves the corresponding terminals for configuring the REPO function. The REPO device also needs the shielded cable to connect to the Normally Open remote REPO switch between the two terminals. If not necessary, you should disconnect Pin9 and Pin10. Pin9 and Pin10 have been shorted before delivery.

Liebert ITA2 - Connection Cables For Dry Contact Port - 3

The EPO action of the UPS will close the rectifier, inverter and static bypass, but it cannot disconnect the UPS from mains input. If you want to disconnect the UPS completely, just disconnect the upstream input MCB when generating the EPO.

In emergency conditions, close the REPO switch (prepared by users) to shut down the rectifier and inverter, and the UPS is powered off. In normal condition, the REPO switch cannot cut off the UPS input power. If a switch of electronic control tripping function is adopted at the UPS input, the REPO switch helps the switch to trip and thus cuts off the UPS input power. The position of the REPO switch is shown in Figure 1-3, and the REPO cable connection is shown in Figure 6-3.

Liebert ITA2 - Connection Cables For Dry Contact Port - 4

text_image REPO switch REPO REPO plug 9 10 11 12

Figure 6-3 REPO cable connection

The cable connection procedures are as follows:

  1. Loosen the '11' and '12' connection terminals of the REPO port.
  2. Insert the two ends of the copper core cables with the insulation leather peeled into the '11' and '12' connection terminals of the REPO port, and press down the terminals. The REPO cable connection is complete. Ensure that the REPO cable is firmly connected to avoid no action or wrong action of the REPO caused by accidental dropping or infirm contact.
  3. For parallel UPSs, when connecting the REPO cable, users should parallelly connect '11' of the REPO port with one end of the electronic switch, and parallel connect '12' with the other end of the electronic switch.

When the REPO switch at the user end closes, the UPS generates an alarm and cut off the output immediately, and the UPS will not return to the normal operation state automatically. At this point, you must change the REPO switch state, and power on the UPS manually.

Liebert ITA2 - Maintenance - 1

Never attempt to carry out maintenance on the UPS while it is on line. Ensure that the UPS has been switched off completely when performing any internal maintenance operations on it..

7.1 Fan Maintenance

Liebert ITA2 - Fan Maintenance - 1

In order to avoid injury or damaging the device, wait until the fan is completely stationary before in-serting fingers or any tools into it.

The UPS fans are expected to run for 20000 hours \~ 40000 hours continuously. The higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the fan life is.

During the UPS operation, please verify the fan status once every half year by confirming that air blows out from the ventilation holes on the rear panel.

7.2 Battery Maintenance

Liebert ITA2 - Battery Maintenance - 1

  1. Never reverse-connect the battery connections, otherwise the fire will occur.

  2. Never attempt to open batteries since they contain electrolyte which is potentially harmful to person-nel. In the event of accidental with electrolyte, wash the affected area with abundant, clean water, and seek medical assistance immediately.

The internal battery module of the UPS is sealed, lead-acid, maintenance-free battery. The battery life depends on the ambient temperature, charge and discharge times. High ambient temperature and deep discharge shortens the battery life.

To ensure the battery life, it is required to:

Keep the ambient temperature ranging from 15^ C to 25^ C
Prevent small current discharge. Continuous battery operation time exceeding 24 hours is strictly prohibited
Charge the battery for at least 12 hours, if the battery hasn't been charged for three months at specified ambient temperature, or two months at high ambient temperature

Liebert ITA2 - Battery Maintenance - 2

  1. Check regularly the screws at the battery connection parts, fasten it immediately if not tight.
  2. Make sure that the safety equipment are complete and that the function is normal, especially that the settings of the battery management parameters are normal.
  3. Measure and record the internal temperature of the battery room.
  4. Check whether the battery ports are damaged or hot, and whether the chassises and the covers are damaged.

If liquid leakage and damage to the battery are found, place the battery in the anti-vitriol tank, and deal with it according to the local regulations.

The waste lead-acid battery is dangerous waste material. It is one of the national emphases to control the waste battery pollution.
