Locate the bag containing the keys for the front access door. The bag is attached to the cabinet. Compare the contents of the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the carrier and to Vertiv Services immediately.
Verify that all items have been received. If spare parts were ordered, verify their arrival. After the Liebert STS2/PDU has been removed from the pallet, open the door and remove cabinet panels to check for shipping damage to internal components.
2.0 LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS The Liebert STS2/PDU should be placed in a clean, cool and dry location. The 250A unit without an output cabinet requires only front access for installation and maintenance. Both front and side access are required for installation and maintenance of 400-800A units and 250A units with output cabinet. The output cabinet comes factory-installed or either the right or left side, depending on how it was ordered.
This section provides instructions for leveling the Liebert STS2/PDU and anchoring the unit to the floor, should that be required. Anchoring the Unit to the Floor The Liebert STS2/PDU can be anchored to the concrete floor to ensure stability for the unit in the event of seismic activity. Positioning the 250A Only Liebert STS2/PDU Without Anchoring The 250A Liebert STS2/PDU is furnished with casters and stabilizing feet.
Verify that all input power and control circuits are de-energized and locked out before making connections inside unit. The two input power feeds (sources) to the Liebert STS2/PDU should be from two independent sources to avoid a common source failure.
The Liebert STS2/PDU output power, ground and neutral busbars accommodate a wide range of wire sizes. The Liebert STS2/PDU busbars accommodate standard two-hole lugs. Table 3 Input/output conduit plate specifications Maximum Number Rating of Conduits Size, in. 2" 250A 2-1/2"...
Remote Source Selection Wiring An optional Remote Source Selection board may be installed in your Liebert STS2/PDU. This board is installed in the same bay as the communications options. See Figures 47 and 48 for the location of these options. See Figure 55 for information on the control wiring for the Remote Source Selection option.
5.0 OUTPUT POWER WIRING The Liebert STS2/PDU standard model is provided with a circuit breaker for connecting to the load or a remote distribution cabinet. Other distribution configurations are available. The three main types of distributions available for the Liebert STS2/PDU are: •...
The programmable relay board (PRB) provides a means to trigger an external device when an event occurs in the Liebert STS2/PDU. Each PRB has 8 channels. Each channel has two sets of Form-C dry contacts, rated 1A @ 30VDC or 250mA @ 125VAC.
Input Contact Isolator Board The Input Contact Isolator Board (ICI) provides a Liebert STS2/PDU module interface for up to eight external user alarm or message inputs to be routed through the Liebert STS2/PDU’s alarm network. The eight contacts are normally open dry contacts. When a contact closes, an event is triggered.
If both the input contacts are closed, the current selected preferred source shall be retained. If the unit’s preferred source selection and Remote Source Selection are active at the same time, the Liebert STS2/PDU follows the last request for a preferred source change, regardless of whether it was from the local or Remote Source Selection controls.

Redundant circuits and components are used to eliminate single points of failure. Since the Liebert STS2/PDU has two input sources, no single component failure can cause a loss of power to the load. Redundant power supplies are provided which feed a DC dual-bus used throughout the unit to prevent any single-point power supply failure modes.
8.1.2 Reliability and Agency Requirements The Liebert STS2/PDU is designed for high reliability and high availability with a critical bus Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) exceeding 1,000,000 hours. The Liebert STS2/PDU and all its options are designed, tested and certified, where applicable, to meet agency requirements as follows: •...
8.2.4 Bypass The Liebert STS2/PDU can be manually bypassed to allow the power from a source to directly flow to the output load. This bypass allows the unit’s electronics to be serviced without dangerous voltages being present. The Liebert STS2/PDU includes key-interlocked maintenance bypass breakers that allow either input source’s electronics to be bypassed for maintenance without interruption of power to the load.
9.0 THEORY OF OPERATION General Description The Liebert STS2/PDU contains all the equipment necessary to prevent an interruption in power flow to the AC load, should your primary source fail. 9.1.1 Liebert Static Transfer Switch 2/Power Distribution Unit The Liebert STS2/PDU is a combination automatic static transfer switch and power distribution unit. The Liebert...
Load Current Transfer Inhibit The Liebert STS2/PDU senses the load current. If the load current exceeds the preset level deemed to represent a load inrush or fault condition, the unit’s logic disables manual and automatic transfers, even if the selected source’s input voltage is outside the acceptable limits.
Hardware • The Liebert STS2/PDU operator interface in the Color Graphical Display unit is designed to provide all of the information required to configure and monitor the unit’s operation. • The control logic performs automatic operations with minimal operator interface.
RS-232 Port An RS-232 serial port is provided to allow an external terminal to be connected as another user interface. See 12.1 - Using the RS-232 Port for more information. Vertiv | Liebert® STS2/PDU ™ User Manual | Rev. 6 | 10/2017...
Before unit is placed into service for the first time, after equipment relocation or after the equipment has been de-energized for an extended period, a thorough equipment inspection and supervised startup by qualified personnel are strongly recommended. Contact your local Liebert representative or Vertiv Services at 800-543-2378 to arrange for equipment inspection and startup.
Verify that Source 2 voltages are nominal and that CB2 breaker status is correctly indicated on the Mimic screen. Verify that boxes for the preferred source and corresponding Liebert STS2/PDU are highlighted on the Mimic screen, indicating which side of the Liebert STS2/PDU is on.
Source Setpoints. See User Settings on page 101. NOTE If one source will be de-energized for an extended period (hours or days), set the Liebert STS2/PDU to bypass mode for the remaining source. Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch components for the remaining source, the Liebert STS2/PDU does not have a second source to switch to and the load would not receive power.
Select YES for the REMOTE SOURCE SELECT choice. 10.4 Maintenance Bypass The Liebert STS2/PDU is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow manual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for maintenance of the switch.
10. Rotate the CB1 interlock key and remove it to lockout the breaker. 11. Secure the key, per your site’s lockout/tagout procedure. 12. Open output breakers CB3 and CB3A (if supplied) to remove power and isolate the static switch from the load. Vertiv | Liebert® STS2/PDU ™...

See Figure 60. 10.5 Normal System Shutdown The Liebert STS2/PDU can be shut down from either the static switch mode or the bypass mode. 10.5.1 Shutdown in Static Transfer Switch Mode When the Liebert STS2/PDU is operating on static transfer switch mode (not maintenance bypass mode): Turn off the load equipment per manufacturer’s recommendations.
Event actions can be triggered by the settings configured from the Event Masks. See 11.1 - Event Mask for more information. Faults — A fault indicates that a component of the Liebert STS2/PDU has failed or has been damaged. In the Event Display, faults are indicated in red.
The History Log should not be reset until the fault condition that caused the buffer to freeze is reviewed and investigated by a qualified service technician. After the alarm condition has been corrected, the History Log can be cleared. Vertiv | Liebert® STS2/PDU ™...
Replay Rate — indicates how long it takes for the replay to play. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the time. • Status — the status of the Liebert STS2/PDU at the point of the current frame in the replay. The History log has three statuses: Frozen, Not Frozen and Retrieving Data, please stand by.
