ITA2
Hazard
High voltages are present on some parts of the UPS when it is operating, direct or indirect contact with such parts may result
in serious injury of death.
Warning
1. Disconnect mains input power and the battery and make sure that the UPS is completely shut down before moving or
rewiring it. Failure to observe the above may result in hazardous voltages being present on the UPS output terminals
2. Liquids and other foreign objects must not be introduced into the UPS.
3. In the event of a fire, use a dry, chemical fire extinguisher only. Using a foam fire extinguisher will result in electric shock.
4. The UPS output neutral line is derived directly from the input, therefore, if the neutral line is interrupted by the upstream
protection devices, the output neutral line is disconnected.
5. To prevent radio frequency interference generated by the output cables from disturbing other electrical equipment, we
recommended a maximum length of 10 m for the UPS output cables.
Warning: high leakage current
1. The unit must be connected to earth before it is connected to its AC mains input and battery power supplies
2. The earth leakage current ranges from 3.5mA to 100mA.
3. Transient and steady state earth leakage currents, which may occur when the equipment is started, should be taken into
consideration while selecting instantaneous RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) and RCD (residual current detector)
devices.
4. It is also necessary to take into account that the load earth leakage current of the load will be borne by the RCCB or RCD.
5. The equipment must be earthed in compliance and accordance with the local electrical code of practice.
Warning
1. When selecting the UPS system upstream distribution protection device, ensure that it complies with the local electric
regulations.
2. The specified upstream breakers are required to obtain the conditional short-circuit current rating of 10kA Icc symmetrical
rms current. The specified upstream breakers should comply with an IEC 60947 series standard.
User serviceable components
1. The UPS does not contain any user-serviceable parts or components. Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover may
result in electric shock and will invalidate any warranty.
2. The parts of the UPS that can be accessed by the user are fully compliant with the safety requirements. Only service
personnel may be exposed to contact with the hazardous voltages present inside the UPS. However, this risk is minimized since
all parts and components where hazardous voltages may be present are protected by covers that may only be removed by
using tools. All risks may be avoided by following the general norms and operating in accordance with the procedures
described in this manual.
Warning: High battery voltage
1. All battery service and maintenance operations shall be performed by trained technicians.
2. Batteries can cause electric shock and high short-circuit currents, therefore, ensure the following conditions are observed

 Use tools with insulated handles.
 Wear rubber glove and shoes.
 Avoid placing tools and metal objects on the surfaces of the battery.
 Disconnect the battery charger power supply before connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals.
 Check whether the battery is earthed accidentally, if so, disconnect the earth connection. Contacting any part of the
battery to earth will result in electric shock. Therefore, make sure that the battery is not earthed during installation and
maintenance.
3. Battery manufacturers provide the details of the precautions to be observed when working on, or in the vicinity of,
batteries. These precautions should be followed scrupulously at all times. Attention should be paid to the recommendations

Charger
Battery
Figure 1-4 UPS operating principle
1. The UPS consists of mains input (main and bypass), rectifier/PFC, battery charger, inverter, bypass, battery, DSP
controller, and output.
2. When the mains supply is within normal limits, the rectifier will be switched on, and the battery charger will recharge
the battery string. Before the UPS is switched on, the load is supplied directly from the mains input, via the bypass. When
the UPS is switched on, the electronic transfer switch connects the inverter output to the load, and the mains supplies
DC power to the inverter via the rectifier/PFC circuit. The inverter then converts the DC power into pure sine wave AC
power, which is fed to the load via the electronic transfer switch.
3. When the mains supply is outside normal limits, the rectifier/PFC circuit boosts the battery voltage and supplies it to
the inverter. The inverter then converts it into pure sine wave AC power, which is fed to the load via the electronic
transfer switch.

ITA2
4. When the mains supply returns within normal limits, the UPS will automatically transfer from Battery mode to Normal
mode, so that the mains supplies DC power to the inverter via the rectifier/PFC circuit, and the electronic transfer switch
supplies AC power to the load.
1.5 UPS States and Operating Modes
For information about the LED indicators mentioned in this section, refer to 4.1.1 LED Indicators.
The UPS states and operating modes include: Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode, ECO mode, Fault state and
Maintenance Bypass mode. The schematic diagrams illustrating Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode and
Maintenance Bypass mode are illustrated in Figure 1-5 to Figure 1-8.
Note
Maintenance Bypass mode is valid only when the UPS power output distribution unit (POD for short) is configured.
1.5.1 Normal Mode
When the mains input is within normal limits, it is processed by the rectifier and inverter in order to supply the load with
voltage and frequency-stabilized power, while the battery charger recharges the battery. This condition is known as
Normal operating mode.
In Normal mode, the run indicator (green) is on, the alarm indicator is off, and the buzzer is silenced.

Figure 1-5 Normal mode
1.5.2 Bypass Mode
If the overload duration is exceeded, or in the event of an inverter or rectifier failure while the UPS is in normal operating
mode, the UPS switches to Bypass mode, so that the load is supply by the bypass source, which is derived directly from
the mains input. If the rectifier is still operative, the battery charger will continue to charge the battery.
In Bypass mode, the run indicator (green) is on, alarm indicator (yellow) is on, and the buzzer beeps at one second
intervals. The 'Current' page on the LCD will indicate 'On Bypass'.

Note
In the event of a mains failure or if the mains voltage is outside tolerance while the UPS is in Bypass mode, the UPS will shut down
and the power supply to the load will be interrupted.
1.5.3 Battery Mode
In the event of a mains failure or if the mains voltage is outside tolerance, 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 at one second intervals. The 'Current' page on the LCD will
indicate 'On Battery'.

Note
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 putting the UPS into operation for the first time, to
ensure it is capable of providing adequate backup time.
2. The battery cold start function may also be used to start the UPS from the Battery (providing it is fully charged) mode in the
event of a mains failure. This means that the battery power can be used independently to improve the system availability, to a

ITA2
certain extent.
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 operating mode. When using the UPS to supply
equipment that is no sensitive to mains power quality, ECO mode may be used to reduce power losses.
Note
1. In ECO mode, if the bypass fails or the bypass voltage goes outside normal limits, the UPS will transfer to Normal mode (providing
the output is not overloaded). However, if the bypass fails or the bypass voltage goes outside normal limits while the output is
overloaded, the UPS will not transfer to Normal mode, but will shut down the Bypass.
2. In ECO mode, the efficiency of the UPS is increased to 99%.
1.5.5 Fault State
In Normal mode, the UPS will transfer to Bypass mode in the event of an inverter failure or UPS over-temperature. In
Battery mode (with no bypass mains), the UPS will shut down and interrupt the output supply to the load in the event of
an inverter failure or UPS over-temperature. In the UPS Fault state, the alarm indicator (red) will remain on in the fixed
state, the buzzer will continue to beep, and the corresponding fault information will be displayed on LCD.
1.5.6 Maintenance Bypass Mode
If it is necessary to service or repair the UPS, you can switch the load to the Maintenance Bypass using the maintenance
bypass MCB, so that the power supply to the load is not interrupted. The maintenance bypass MCB is located on the
front panel of the POD, and is rated to handle the requirements of the total load capacity. Refer to Liebert ITA2 20kVA
UPS Power Output Distribution Unit User Manual for a more detailed description of the POD.

Chapter 2 Installation and Commissioning - Single UPS

This section covers the installation, cable connection and commissioning procedures for a single UPS.
No two sites are the same, therefore this section provides general guidelines, procedures and methods for installation
engineers, who shall adapt the installation to meet the actual conditions.
Warning: Professional installation
1. The UPS should be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the information provided in this section. In the event of
any problems, contact your local Vertiv service centre immediately.
2. The UPS must NOT be switched on without the approval of the commissioning engineer.
3. In the case of any equipment or items not covered by this section, refer to the specific mechanical and/or electrical installation
instructions provided with such items.
Note: 3-phase 5-line for power input
The UPS can be connected to 3-phase, 5-line (A, B, C, N, PE) TN, TT and IT AC power distribution systems (IEC60364-3).
2.1 Unpacking Inspection

The 20kVA UPS is shipped in a wooden crate. To unpack the it, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the side panels and top cover.
Use a hammer or straight screwdriver to straighten the connection hook that connects the side panels to the top cover,
as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Straightening the hook
2. Remove the cover plate from the cardboard box, and remove the UPS, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Unpacking the cardboard box
At this point, check the following items:

1. Visually inspect the UPS for signs of shipping damage. If any problem is found, please notify the carrier immediately.

ITA2
2. Check the accessories and models correspond to the shipping documents. If any problem is found, please notify the
dealer immediately.
2.2 Moving and Handling the UPS
Warning
DO NOT attempt to move the UPS by the brackets.
The UPS may be moved manually, or by using a forklift truck or similar lifting equipment.
2.3 Installation Preparation
2.3.1 Location
To guarantee long working life, the select location must provide:

 Convenient wiring
 Adequate operator access area
 Good ventilation to meet the heat dissipation requirements
 No corrosive gases, such as sulphur dioxide etc.
 No excessive moisture or heat sources
 No excessive dust
 Compliance with fire-fighting requirements
 Operating temperature compliant with the specifications, see Table 1-2 for details
2.3.2 Environmental Requirements
UPS room
The UPS is designed for indoor operation, in a clean and well-ventilated environment designed to maintain the ambient
temperature within the specification limits.
The internal fans provide forced air cooling for the UPS. Cooling air enters the UPS through the ventilation holes on the
front panel, and the hot air is expelled via the ventilation holes on the rear panel. For this reason it is very important not
to obstruct the ventilation holes. Maintain at least 200mm clearances between the front, rear of the UPS and the wall or
adjacent equipment (see Figure 2-3), in order to avoid obstructing the UPS ventilation holes and preventing 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 prevent the indoor temperature from rising. An air filter should
be used when the UPS is to be operated in a dusty environment.
Reserved space
Wall
500mm
Cabinet

Figure 2-3 Installation clearances (top view of rack installation)

ITA2
Note
1. The UPS should only be installed on concrete or other non-inflammable surfaces.

2. As shown in Figure 2-5, the clearance between the rear panel of the cabinet and the wall is 500mm. The clearance should not be
less than 200mm, and should be sufficient to allow maintenance operations to be carried out.
Battery room
A small amount of hydrogen and oxygen will be generated at the end of the battery charging cycle, therefore it is
important to ensure that the battery installation environment fresh air ventilation capacity meets the EN50272-2001
requirements.
The battery ambient temperature should maintained constant, since ambient temperature is the main factor affecting
battery capacity and working life. The standard battery operating temperature is 20°C, operating it above this
temperature will shorten battery life, while operating it below this temperature will reduce battery capacity. If the average
battery operating temperature rises from 20°C to 30°C, the battery life will be reduced by 50%; if the battery operating
temperature exceeds 40°C, battery life will decrease exponentially. In general, the permitted ambient temperature of the
battery is 15°C ~ 25°C. The battery should be kept away from heat and ventilation holes.
When the UPS uses an external battery, you must install a protection device (such as fuse or circuit breaker) close to the
battery, and keep the wiring distance between the battery and the protection device to a minimum.
Storage environment
When the UPS is not to be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors in an environment where it is protected from
the excessive moisture and/or high temperatures. The battery should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment
for storage; the most suitable storage temperature is 20°C ~ 25°C.
Warning: battery hazards
During the storage period, the battery must be charged at regular intervals, in accordance with the battery instructions. When
charging the battery, you can connect the UPS to the mains temporarily to charge the battery and activate it.
2.3.3 Installation Tools
Warning
1. For reasons of safety, all installation tools used on live components must be insulated.
2. The tools listed in Table 2-1 are for reference only; please adapt to the actual requirements for on-site installation and
connection.

2.4 External Protection Devices

The circuit breaker or other protection devices must be installed at the external AC input end of the UPS. This section
provides general guidelines for qualified installation engineers. The installation engineers should be aware of the local
wiring regulations and any other related information.
2.4.1 Rectifier and Bypass Input
Overcurrent
The appropriate over-current protection device should be installed on the mains input power distribution line, and the
current capacity of the power cable and the system overload requirements should be taken into account during the
installation procedure (see Table 2-2).For information about the thermo-magnetic circuit breaker, see Table 2-4.
Split-bypass
In the case of split-bypass configurations, separate protection devices should be installed on the mains and bypass
lines at the mains input power distribution.
Main/Bypass feedback protection

The UPS is equipped with a main/bypass feedback protection function.
Feedback Protection
When the battery mode and the mains are not available, or affected by a malfunction, a portion of the UPS voltage or
energy may be fed back to one or more of the input terminals, either directly, or via the leakage path. In order to reduce
the risk of electric shock caused by feedback, the UPS is equipped with internal back-feed protection; it is important to
note that, when activated, this function will interrupt the power supply to the customer’s load. In order to guarantee a
continuous supply of power to the load, we have also introduced a back-feed function at the POD input; this function is
controlled by a UPS dry output contact, and operates according to the following principle.
Operating principle
(1) Mains back-feed
Figure 1 shows the wiring diagram between the single POD and the UPS; the main circuit relay and the dry contact are
highlighted in RED in this Figure. The internal UPS sensor detects back-feed at the mains input terminals, Dry Contact
1 is closed. Since the dry output contact is connected to the POD internal relay A coil terminals via the back-feed
ITA2
protection cable, the coil is energised (12 V - COM), and the relay contact is closed. The relay A contact controls the UPS
main input shunt trip coil (L - N), so that it, in turn, is energised when the contact is closed. When the shunt trip coil is
energised, it triggers the UPS mains input CB, thus interrupting the back-feed path and guaranteeing the protection. In
this way, the bypass can continue to supply power to the load even in the presence of mains back-feed.
(2) Bypass back-feed
The bypass relay and dry contact are highlighted in GREEN in the Figure. The internal UPS sensor detects back-feed at
the bypass input terminals, UPS Dry Output Contact 2 is closed. Since the dry output contact is connected to the POD
internal relay B coil terminals via the back-feed protection cable, the coil is energised (12 V - COM), and the relay contact
is closed. The relay B contact controls the UPS bypass input shunt trip coil (L - N), so that it, in turn, is energised when
the contact is closed. When the shunt trip coil is energised, it triggers the UPS bypass input CB, thus interrupting the
back-feed path and guaranteeing the protection. In this way, the mains can continue to supply power to the load even in
the presence of bypass back-feed. Figure 2 shows the wiring diagram between 1 + 1 parallel POD and two UPS. The
back-feed protection principle in this configuration is the same as that for the single POD, the only difference being the
number of CB and the back-feed protection cable, which is not shown in detail in this case.
Note that the POD internal relays A, B, and the 12V voltage generator circuit are included on the same internal control
board; the position shown in Figure is purely indicative. The attachment is the specification of the internal shunt trip and
the internal control board.
Figure 2-4 Connecting the single POD and one UPS

ITA2
Figure 2-5 Connecting 1 + 1 parallel POD and two UPS
Warning
1. The same neutral line must be used for the rectifier and bypass input power.
2. In the case of IT power grid systems, the 4-pole protection device for 3-phase UPS must be installed at the UPS external I/O
power distribution point, while the 2-pole protection device for 1-phase UPS must be installed at the UPS external I/O power
distribution point.
Earth leakage current

The residual current detector (RCD) for the UPS upstream input power distribution should be:
 Sensitive to DC unidirectional pulses (level A) in the power distribution network
 Immune to transient current pulses
 General sensitivity type, adjustable: 0.3A ~ 1A
The residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) must be sensitive to DC unidirectional pulses (level A) in the power
distribution network, but immune to transient current pulses, as shown in Figure 2-6 respectively.
Figure 2-6 RCCB symbols
When using the earth RCD in split-bypass or parallel systems, the RCD should be located at the upstream input power
distribution point to avoid spurious operation.

ITA2
The earth leakage current fed by the RFI filter in the UPS ranges from 3.5mA to 100mA. We recommend confirming the
sensitivity of each differential device in stalled on the upstream input power distribution and downstream power
distribution (load) lines.
2.4.2 Battery Input
Vertiv battery module options are provided with built-in over-current protective devices. Otherwise, the external battery
cabinet should fitted with a DC compatible circuit breaker in order to provide over-current protection for the UPS and its
batteries.
2.4.3 UPS Output
The protection device must be installed on the UPS output power distribution line. The protective device specification is
shown in Table 2-4.
2.5 Mechanical Installation
Two installation versions are available: tower installation and rack installation. Select the suitable installation version,
depending on the actual conditions.
2.5.1 Tower Installation
1. Select the support bases from the accessories, assemble a pair of support bases and a support base extension using

Chapter 3 Installation and Commissioning - Parallel UPS

This chapter covers the features, requirements of the parallel system, as well as the installation and commissioning
procedures.
The UPS parallel system provides the user with a N + X (2 ≤ N + X ≤ 4, X=0 or 1) parallel configuration, where N indicates
the basic parallel units, and X indicates for the redundant units.
1 + 1 parallel POD (optional) can provide safe and reliable power distribution function for the parallel system. The 1 + 1
parallel system requires only 1 + 1 parallel POD; if N is not less than two, external self-distribution will be required for the
parallel system.
3.1 Features
1. The software and the hardware of each UPS in parallel system are the same as those of the single UPS. The basic
parameters of the parallel system can be set-up via the LCD screen (Refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting
for details), while the advanced parameters can be set-up by using the background software (by service engineers only).
The parameter setting requirements are the same for all the UPS units in a parallel system.
2. The parallel cables form a ring connection (Refer to 3.4.2 Connecting Parallel Cables for details) in order to provide
system reliability and redundancy. 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, meaning that, after the overload is
removed, the system will revert to the original operating mode automatically.
3. The total load of the parallel system can be queried via the LCD on each UPS.
3.2 Requirements
A UPS system consisting of multiple, parallel-connected UPS units is equivalent to a large UPS system. However, it also
provides increased system reliability. To ensure equal utilization of all UPS units and compliance with relevant wiring
regulations, the following requirements must be met:
1. Each individual UPS unit must have the same rating.
2. The bypass input power and the rectifier input power lines must be connected to the same neutral line input terminal.
3. If it is necessary to install a residual current detector (RCD), it must be set-up correctly and installed upstream of the
neutral line input terminal, or it must monitor the protective earth current of the system. Refer to 'Warning: high leakage
current' in Safety Precautions before the Contents section.
4. The outputs of all individual UPS units must be connected to the same output bus.
5. Because the UPS parallel system is not fitted with auxiliary contact detection devices for the UPS output MCB or
maintenance bypass MCB, it is important to adhere strictly to the procedures described in para. 5.2 Transfer
Procedures Between Operation Modeswhen disconnecting a single UPS unit from the system before maintenance,
and when reinserting a UPS unit into the system following maintenance. Failure to observe this may affect the
reliability of the load power supply.
3.3 Mechanical Installation
Taking a 1 + 1 parallel system, without battery module, as an example, the mechanical installation procedure for the
parallel system is as follows:
1. The installation method for the 1 + 1 parallel UPS is the same as that for the single UPS. Refer to 2.5 Mechanical
Installation for details.
2. As shown in Figure 3-1, the UPS unit should be installed at the bottom, and the 1 + 1 parallel POD should be installed at
the top in order to facilitate cable connection and operation. The installation method for the 1 + 1 parallel POD is the same
as that for the UPS.

3.4.1 Connecting the I/O Cables
The UPS power cables are connected to the I/O terminal block on 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 UPS parallel power distribution modes: using the 1 + 1 parallel POD (optional) provided by Vertiv, and
self-distribution.
The parallel system power distribution mode is the same as that of the single unit, refer to 2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables.
1. Using parallel POD power distribution
We recommend using 1 + 1 parallel POD power distribution mode if you require a 1 + 1 parallel system, for the information
on installing and commissioning different models, refer to the Liebert ITA2 20kVA UPS Power Output Distribution Unit
User Manual.
2. Self-distribution for the parallel system
When the parallel system consists of more than two UPS units, select self-distribution mode.
See Figure 3-2 for a block diagram of a three UPS parallel system. Refer to Power distribution mode in
2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables for the cable connection to each UPS. Refer to 2.6 Connecting Power Cables for the input
and output MCB, the battery MCB and the cables when using the self-distribution mode.

Note
After connecting the power cables, replace the protective cover on the I/O terminal block in order to prevent electric shocks.
Changing power distribution mode

The 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
connections only after converting the single system as required (Refer to 2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables for the relevant
procedure).
3.4.2 Connecting the Parallel Cables
The parallel system provides a parallel cable option. The parallel cables form a ring connection via the parallel ports on
the rear panel of the UPS. See Figure 3-3 for a cable connection diagram of a 3 + 1 parallel system.

Note
1. The Vertiv parallel cables must be used for the parallel system.
2. If a parallel communication fault occurs during parallel commissioning or operation, switch the system off and check whether the
parallel cables are connected correctly.
3. Do not attempt to disconnect the parallel cables while the parallel system is operating as this could damage the system.
3.4.3 Connecting the Battery Cables
In the parallel system, the UPS units use common or separate battery strings.
Note
Each UPS should be equipped with an independent battery MCB. Refer to Table 2-4 when selecting the battery MCB.

ITA2
Using separate battery strings

When each UPS in a parallel system uses a separate battery string, the battery cable connection to each UPS in the
parallel system is the same as that for the single UPS units, refer to 2.6.2 Connecting Battery Cables for the installation
method. See Figure 3-4 for the circuit diagram of a 1 + 1 parallel system with separate battery strings. Refer to 2.6
Connecting Power Cables when configuring an MCB.
Note
Make sure that the LCD settings are correct when using separate battery strings for a parallel system, refer to
3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Settings for details.

3.5.1 Check Before Start-Up
1. Check and confirm that the UPS and 1 + 1 POD (if configured) power distribution mode is correct, that the power and
signal cables are connected correctly, and there are no short circuits.
2. Check that the batteries have been installed and connected correctly, that there are no short circuits and that the
battery positive and negative poles are correct. It is especially important to check the above items when the parallel
system UPS units share a common battery string.
3. Check the complete working status of the parallel system, ensure that the phase sequence of the main, bypass and
output of each UPS is correct and consistent, that the parallel cable is connected securely, and that the user load is not
connected during switch-on
4. Measure the mains voltage and frequency, and verify that they are correct.
5. The UPS and 1 + 1 parallel POD (if configured) output terminals are energised when the UPS is switched on. If the load
is already connected to the output terminals, make sure that it is safe to apply power to it.
Warning
The UPS and POD (if configured) output terminals are energised when the UPS is switched on. When bypass of the individual UPS
units in the parallel system is not consistent,a system fault may occur, check and confirm the bypass before switching on.
3.5.2 Setting up the Parallel System Parameters

3.5.3 Power-On Commissioning for Parallel Systems
1. Set-up the parallel parameters for each UPS in the parallel system, then commission the inverter.
The specific commissioning procedures are as follows:
a) Make sure that the output MCB devices on each UPS unit in the parallel system are open, and then close the external
input MCB on each UPS, at this point, all the UPS are switched on. If 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, close the
corresponding input MCB and bypass MCB. At the same time, close the corresponding output MCB on the other UPS
under test, and make sure that the corresponding output MCB on the other UPS is open.
Warning
After closing the UPS external output MCB or the POD output MCB, the UPS output terminal block, POD output terminal block and

ITA2
load will all be live, pay attention to personnel safety to avoid electric shocks. Verify whether it is safe to supply power to the load.
b) The LCD displays the self check screen, and the alarm indicator (red) and run indicator (green) are on simultaneously
for about five seconds.
c) The rectifier runs in normal state for about 30 seconds, after which the rectifier start-up phase is complete.
d) Refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting for the parallel parameters setting for each UPS. Check whether
the 'Parallel comm. Fail’ alarm is active, if yes, clear the fault as indicated in Table 4-5. Carry out the following procedures
if the UPS is running normally.
e) Press the power button on one the UPS units for 2 seconds, if 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, press the power button
on the UPS under test in the parallel system, then press Enter key to start the UPS. The run indicator (green) will blink,
after 20 seconds, the inverter will start, and the run indicator will switch on, if 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, the other
UPS will display no redundancy in parallel, ignore the prompt for the moment.
f) If the battery is not connected, the alarm indicator on in fixed mode, and the buzzer will beep once a second. If the
battery is connected, the alarm indicator will be extinguished.
g) If the UPS is working normally, press the power button for two seconds to switch the inverter off.
h) Repeat the preceding steps a) ~ step g) to switch on and commission the other UPS inverters.
Note
Carry out the parallel commissioning procedures once each UPS is running normally.
2. After confirming that the inverter of each UPS functions normally, commission the parallel system; the specific
procedures are as follows:
a) Close the external output MCB and input MCB on each UPS, so that all the UPS units are switched on at the same time.
Once the rectifier start phase is complete, press the power button on one UPS for two seconds, the run indicator (green)
will switch on. Measure the inverter output voltage and verify whether it is within normal limits. If 1 + 1 parallel POD is
configured, close the corresponding input MCB and bypass MCB and output MCB on the POD.
b) Start the second UPS inverter, check whether the LCD for alarms, and confirm that the UPS parallel works normally.
c) Repeat the inverter start-up procedures for the third or fourth UPS in order to connect the UPS into the parallel
system.
Warning
1. During the parallel start-up phase, confirm that the external output MCB on each UPS has been closed, and that the outputs of all
the UPS inverters are connected in parallel.
2. During the parallel start-up phase, confirm that the system is working normally, then supply power to the load in order to avoid
load power failure.
3. If it is necessary to add a UPS to the parallel system, carry out the commissioning procedures described below:
a) Check and confirm the power distribution mode, and that all the power and signal cables are connected correctly to
the additional UPS, and that there are no short circuits. Check that the batteries have been installed and connected
correctly, that there are no short circuits and that the battery positive and negative poles are correct.
b) Repeat Part 1, steps a) to h) to complete commissioning the additional UPS. Switch off the UPS completely.
C) Ensure that the power and signal cables are connected securely.
d) Close the external input switch on the additional UPS, after starting up the UPS; access the interface shown in Figure
3-7 on any of the UPS units in the parallel system. Set the system parallel No. from 'N' to 'N+1', then click 'Sync parallel
parameters'.
e) Close the external output switches on the additional UPS, start the inverter in normal mode, after the rectifier start-up
phase is complete. Next, check that there are no alarms indicated on the LCD, and that the UPS parallel system is
working normally.

ITA2
Note
1. In the case of 1+1 parallel systems, when one UPS is faulty and needs to be replaced on line, the procedure described above may be
used. The only difference in this case is that there is no need to change the parallel No., simply click 'Sync parallel parameters' for the
replacement UPS.
2. Clicking 'Sync parallel parameters' synchronises the items in the parallel settings interface, so that the parameters are applied to
the parallel system. The user should set-up up the other parameters manually, as required.
3. When parallel system output is active, the 'Sync parallel parameters' function can only be executed via a UPS with the output
switched on, otherwise this function is invalid.
4. When adding a single unit to a parallel system, first ensure that the parallel cables are connected correctly, then switch the
additional unit on.
3.6 Installation And Commissioning For Dual Bus Systems

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 UPS units, or multiple parallel-connected single UPS units.
The dual bus system provides high reliability, which makes it suitable for use with loads having multiple input terminals.
In the case of single input UPS loads, it is possible to add and optional static trigger switch (STS) in order to start the
standard Load Bus Synchronization (LBS) system.
Place the UPS units side by side, and connect them as follows:
The dual bus system uses the LBS system to synchronise the outputs of two independent (or parallel) UPS systems. One
is the master system, while the other is the slave system. The dual bus system operating mode includes the master
system and/or slave system running in Normal mode or Bypass mode. Figure 3-8 illustrates the circuit diagram of the LBS
consisting of two UPS units.

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

ITA2
3.6.3 Connecting Power Cables
In the case of dual bus systems, refer to 2.6 Connecting Power Cables and 3.4 Connecting Power Cables when
selecting the power cables for single UPS and the 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 upstream of the input terminal.
3.6.4 Connecting LBS Cables
Note
1. The appearance of the LBS port is the same as the parallel port (see Figure 1-3).
2. In the case of dual bus systems consisting of parallel UPS units, we recommend preparing two LBS cables for connecting any two
parallel/LBS ports of the two parallel system, in order to guarantee a secure connection.

The LBS is the load synchronisation system, and is used to synchronise the output voltage phases of the two sections of
the UPS system. The two sections of the UPS system may consist of two single UPS units, or two UPS parallel systems.
'Master' and 'Slave' may be set-up manually via the LCD screen.
The UPS selected as the LBS master can send synchronization signals to LBS slave based on its inverter voltage phase.
After the slave receives the synchronization signal sent by the master, it will adjust its inverter voltage phase so that it is
synchronised with the master.
Thanks to this system, it is possible to synchronise the two sections of the UPS system, guaranteeing reliable transfer
between the respective output voltages and the STS, and hence a reliable, uninterrupted power supply to the load.

audible alarm.
Warning: hazardous mains and/or battery voltage exists behind the protective covers
1. No user serviceable parts are located behind the protective covers that can only be removed by using tools.
2. Only qualified service personnel are authorized to remove such covers.
3. If it is necessary to carry out maintenance operations on the rack, it is important to bear in mind that the neutral line remains live.
5.1 UPS Start-Up

The start-up procedures may be performed only after installation is complete, the system has been commissioned by an
authorized engineer, and the external input MCB devices have been closed.
Warning
This procedure results in mains voltage being applied to the UPS output terminals. Confirm that it is safe to apply power to the
load, if there is a load to be connected to the UPS output terminals. If the load is not ready to accept power, isolate it from the UPS
output terminals.
The single UPS start-up modes include normal start-up mode and battery start-up mode; refer to 2.7.3 Normal Start-Up
Mode and 2.7.4 Battery Start-Up Mode for details.
5.2 Procedures for Transferring between Operating Modes
Note
The Inverter operating modes include Normal mode (inverter supplied by mains) and Battery module (inverter supplied by battery).
5.2.1 Transfer From Normal Mode To Battery Mode
In the event of a mains failure, the UPS will transfer to Battery mode. If you wish to transfer the UPS from Battery mode
to Normal mode, wait few seconds for the mains input to recover. After about ten seconds, the rectifier will restart
automatically, and the inverter will restore the power.
5.2.2 Transfer From Inverter Mode To Bypass Mode
In standby mode, press and hold the power button. If the rectifier and inverter are normal, the interface shown in Figure
5-1 will appear, select 'YES' to switch the UPS on.

appear, select 'YES' to shut down the UPS output.
Figure 5-3 Bypass abnormal interface
Note
In Bypass mode, the load is supplied with power derived directly from the mains input, rather than the conditioned power from the
inverter output.
For detailed information about Normal mode, Bypass mode, and Battery and Maintenance Bypass mode, please refer to
1.5 UPS State And Operating Mode.
5.2.3 Transfer From Bypass Mode To Inverter Mode
In Bypass mode, press and hold the power button.

If ECO mode is not enabled, the interface shown in Figure 5-4 will appear.

ITA2

Select 'Turn on UPS' and click OK to transfer to Inverter mode, see Figure 5-5.
Select 'Turn off UPS' and click OK to shut down the UPS output.
Figure 5-5 Bypass to inverter mode
If ECO mode is enabled, the interface shown in Figure 5-6 will appear. Select 'YES' to shut down the UPS output.
Figure 5-6 ECO enabled interface
5.2.4 Transfer From Inverter Mode To Maintenance Bypass Mode
When the UPS is running in Normal mode, you can use this procedure to transfer the load from inverter output to
maintenance bypass.
ITA2
Caution
1. Before performing this procedure, you should check the LED information first, and make sure the bypass is normal and
synchronized with the inverter. Failure to do so may result in a brief interruption in the power supply to the load.
2. You should select the single POD, or prepare the maintenance bypass MCB, in order to execute this function.
1. Access the LCD settings page and change Dry contact 3 to 'Maintain mode'. See Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7 Changing dry contact 3 to 'Maintain mode'
2. Remove the maintenance bypass switch baffle retaining screws, rotate the baffle upwards until it is locked in position,
and then fasten the retaining screws.
At this point, the system Interlock function has been activated and the UPS will transfer to internal bypass mode; you
should confirm that the UPS has been transferred to internal bypass mode.
3. After confirming, close the maintenance bypass switch.
5.2.5 Transfer From Maintenance Bypass Mode To Inverter Mode
Following UPS maintenance operations, this procedure may be used to transfer the load from the maintenance bypass to
the inverter.
Warning
If the maintenance bypass switch has been configured by the user, following UPS maintenance operations the user must transfer
the UPS to bypass mode manually, and then close the output switch. Failure to observe this may cause damage to the equipment.
1. Confirm that the maintenance bypass switch baffle has been rotated upwards and secured in position.
2. Close the mains input MCB and bypass input MCB on the front panel of the POD. At this point, the UPS will switch on
again and operate in bypass mode.
3. Confirm that the UPS is operating in Bypass mode, then close the output MCB on the front panel of the POD.
4. Open the maintenance bypass MCB on the front panel of the POD. Return the maintenance bypass switch baffle to its
original position, then fasten the retaining screws.
5. Press the power button on the operator and display panel of the UP so that the UPS transfers to Inverter mode.
5.3 Complete UPS Shut-down
In the case of UPS systems with POD, if you need to shut down the UPS completely, transfer the UPS from Inverter mode
to Maintenance Bypass mode, as described in para. 5.2.4 Transferring From Inverter Mode To Maintenance Bypass
Mode, so as to avoid affecting the power supply to the load during the UPS shut-down procedure. Then, if it is not
necessary to maintain the power supply to the load, open the maintenance bypass MCB directly, as shown in Figure 5-8.

ITA2
CB1 SW CB2
Figure 5-8 Configuration of the UPS with external maintenance bypass
In the case of UPS systems where the power distribution system has been set-up by the user, if it is necessary to isolate
the UPS from AC power, open the external input MCB. (If the main and bypass inputs are connected to separate mains
supplies, open both input MCB devices).
Warning
Disconnect the maintenance power supply in order to prevent injuries.
5.4 REPO
The REPO port, located at rear of the UPS, is designed to switch off the UPS in the event of an emergency (such as fire,
flood). The system will switch off the rectifier and inverter, and interrupt the power supply to the load immediately
(inverter and bypass output included), while the battery will stop charging or discharging. In the event of an emergency,
simply unplug the terminal connected to the REPO port.
If the mains input is present, the UPS control circuit will remain active; however, the output is interrupted. In order
disconnect all mains power from the UPS, the open the external main input MCB.
5.5 Auto Restart
In the event of a mains power failure, the UPS draws power from the battery in order to supply the load until the batteries
are discharged, at which point the UPS will shut down.
The UPS will restart automatically and resume supplying power to the load:
 Once the mains power supply is restored.
 If the UPS Auto Restart function is enabled.
 After the Auto Restart delay has expired (default: 10s). During the Auto Restart delay, the UPS will charge the
battery in order to provide a safety margin for equipment shut-down if input power fails again.
If the Auto Restart function is disabled, you can restart the UPS manually by pressing the power button.

The terminals corresponding to Pin 11 and Pin 12 are reserved for configuring the REPO function. The REPO device also
requires a shielded cable for connecting the Normally Open remote REPO switch between the two terminals. If not
required, you should disconnect Pin 9 and Pin 10. Pin 9 and Pin 10 have been shorted together before delivery.
Note
Activating the UPS EPO will deactivate the rectifier, inverter and static bypass, but does not disconnect the UPS from the mains
input. If you wish to disconnect the UPS completely, it is also necessary to open the input MCB installed upstream of the UPS when
activating the EPO.
In the event of an emergency, close the REPO switch (supplied and installed by the user) in order to shut down the
rectifier and inverter, and switch the UPS off. Under normal conditions, the REPO switch cannot be used to isolate the
UPS from the mains input power. If an electronically controlled circuit breaker function is installed at the UPS input, the
REPO switch can be used to trip this breaker, thus cutting off the UPS mains input power. The position of the REPO
switch is shown in Figure 1-3, and the REPO cable connection is shown in Figure 6-3.

ITA2
Figure 6-3 REPO cable connections
The cable connection procedures are as follows:

1. Release the REPO port connection terminals '11' and '12'.
2. Strip the insulation from the ends of the two copper core cables and insert them in the REPO port connection terminals
'11' and '12', and press the terminals down in order to secure the cables. The REPO cable connection procedure is
complete. Ensure that the REPO cable is connected securely in order to ensure that the REPO is not activated
inadvertently as the result of poor contacts.
3. In the case of parallel UPS systems, when connecting the REPO cable, users should connect terminal '11' of the REPO
port in parallel to one terminal of each electronic switch, and terminal '12' of the REPO port in parallel to the other
terminal of each electronic switch.
When the REPO switch at the user end is closed, the UPS will generate an alarm and cut off the output immediately, and
the UPS will not return to the normal operating state automatically. At this point, it is necessary to change the REPO
switch state, and switch the UPS on manually.
Note
1. We recommend using 0.82mm2 ~ 0.33mm2 copper core cable ( 18AWG ~ 33AWG signal cable).
2. If the REPO has been configured to trip an electronically controlled circuit breaker switch, after the REPO has been activated it will
be necessary to re-arm the switch before restarting the UPS.
6.3 Connecting USB Communication Cables

To connect the UPS communication cables, proceed as follows:
Insert one end of the USB communication cable into the USB port (see Figure 1-3) on the rear panel of the UPS, and
connect the other end to the USB port on the computer.
After connecting the cable it is necessary to install the USB drive program on the installation disk.
6.4 Connecting Serial Port Communication Cables
To connect the serial port communication cables, proceed as follows:
Insert one end of the DB) serial port communication cable into the DB9 serial port (see Figure 1-3) on the rear panel of
the UPS, and connect the other end to the DB9 port on the computer.
The pin functions of the DB9 port are listed below:
Pin No. Function
2 Send data
3 Receive data
5 Common terminal
6.5 Connecting the Control Port

The control port uses the standard RJ45 protocol, which supports the Modbus/Jbus port and can be used to connect the
Vertiv temperature/temperature & humidity sensor.
The user can select Modbus/Jbus protocol function or sensor function via the 'Settings' on the LCD.

ITA2
Chapter 7 Maintenance
This section focuses on UPS maintenance, including fan maintenance, battery maintenance, UPS cleaning, UPS state
checks, and UPS function checks.
Note
Never attempt to carry out maintenance on the UPS while it is on line. Ensure that the UPS has been switched off completely when
performing any internal maintenance operations on it.
7.1 Fan Maintenance

Note
In order to avoid injury or damaging the device, wait until the fan is completely stationary before inserting fingers or any tools into
it.
The UPS fans are expected to run for 20,000 hours ~ 40,000 hours in continuous operation. The higher the ambient
temperature, the shorter the fan life.
During the UPS operation, it is important to check the condition of the fans at least once a year by confirming that they
blow air out of the ventilation holes on the rear panel.
7.2 Battery Maintenance
Note
1. Never invert the battery connections as this could result in fires.

2. Never attempt to open batteries since they contain electrolyte which is potentially harmful to personnel. In the event of
accidental with electrolyte, wash the affected area with abundant, clean water, and seek medical assistance immediately.
The internal UPS battery module houses a sealed, lead-acid, maintenance-free battery. The battery life depends on the
ambient temperature, and charge and discharge times. High ambient temperatures and heavy discharge cycles will
shorten the battery life.
To preserve the battery life, it is necessary to:
 Maintain the ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C
 Prevent small current discharge. DO NOT operate the UPS in battery mode for periods in excess of 24 hours.
 Charge the battery for at least 12 hours if it hasn't been charged for three months while the ambient temperature
remains within the specified limits, or two months in the event of high ambient temperatures
Note
1. Check the battery connection screws are regular intervals, and re-tighten them if necessary.
2. Make sure that all the safety devices present, in good condition and that they function correctly, and make sure that the battery
management parameter settings are correct.
3. Measure and log the ambient temperature in the battery room.
4. Check whether the battery ports are damaged or hot, and check the condition of the chassis and the covers.
If any of the batteries are found to be leaking, place them in a suitable container and dispose of them in accordance with
local regulations.
Lead-acid batteries are classified as hazardous waste material. The control of waste battery pollution is a nationally
important issue. Batteries must be stored, transported, used and disposed of in accordance with national and local legal
requirements and all other criteria applicable to the treatment of hazardous waste material and waste battery pollution
prevention.
According to the applicable regulations, waste lead-aid batteries must be recycled, while all other disposal methods are
prohibited. Uncontrolled or random disposal of waste lead-acid batteries, or other improper disposal methods can result
in serious environmental pollution, which will be investigated by the relevant authorities.
ITA2
As the provider of lead-acid batteries, Vertiv has developed a dedicated service network and waste battery recycling
system to assist users to dispose of waste batteries legally. Contact Vertiv or your nearest service centre for detailed
information about the waste battery the recycling system.
Vertiv may not be held liable for the environmental impact resulting from the failure to comply with the guidelines set out
in this section, or to use the waste battery recycling system offered by Vertiv.
7.3 Cleaning the UPS
Clean the UPS periodically, especially the ventilation holes, to ensure free airflow inside the UPS. If necessary, clean the
UPS with a vacuum cleaner. Confirm that the ventilation holes are unobstructed.
7.4 Checking the state of the UPS
We recommend checking the operational state of the UPS at least twice a year.
Check the following items:
1. Check for any UPS fault conditions: Is the alarm indicator on? Are there any UPS alarms active?
2. Check if the UPS is operating in Bypass mode. Under normal conditions, the UPS operates in Normal mode; if you find
that it is operating in Bypass mode, determine the reason (operator intervention, overload, internal fault, etc.)
3. Check if the battery is discharging: When the AC mains supply is within normal limits, the battery should not be
discharging; if you find that it is operating in Bypass mode, determine the reason (mains failure, battery test, operator
intervention, etc.)
7.5 Checking the UPS Functions
Note
Checking the UPS functions may interrupt the power supply to the load!
We recommend checking the UPS functions at least twice a year.

Backup the load data before conducting the UPS functional check. The procedures are as follows:
1. Press the power button to check if the buzzer beeps, the indicators are on and the LCD display is normal.
2. Press the ESC key and check again that the indicators are on, the LCD display is normal, and that the UPS has been
transferred to inverter mode.
