NSTALLATION The Liebert NX™ UPS is designed primarily for telecommunications and data processing applica- tions. Liebert Corporation neither recommends nor knowingly sells this product for use with life sup- port and other designated “critical” devices. This section describes the NX’s environmental requirements and mechanical considerations that must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
Installation 1.2.1 Storing for Delayed Installation If the equipment will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors where the humidity is no higher than 90% and the temperature is no higher than 104°F (40°C). The storage area must protect the NX from excessive moisture (see 5.1 - Dual Bus Synchronizer).
Installation 1.5.1 System Composition A UPS system can comprise a number of equipment cabinets, depending on the individual system design requirements—e.g., UPS cabinet and External Bypass cabinet. In general, all cabinets used will be the same height and are designed to be positioned side-by-side to form an aesthetically appeal- ing equipment suite.
Leave a minimum of 2 ft. (610mm) between the top of the UPS and the ceiling to permit adequate air circulation above the unit. Liebert recommends against using air conditioning or other systems that blow air onto the top of the unit.
Battery cabinets may be bolted to either side of the NX, unless used in configurations that include a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet; refer to 1.5.7 - Optional Cabinets. Figure 1 Cabinet arrangement ALL UNITS VIEWED FROM ABOVE Liebert Liebert Maintenance Maintenance Bypass...
Electrical Connections LECTRICAL ONNECTIONS The UPS requires both power and control cabling once it has been mechanically installed. All control cables must run separate from power cables in metal conduits or metal ducts that are electrically bonded to the metalwork of the cabinets to which they are connected. WARNING Before connecting input power to the NX, ensure that you are aware of the location and operation of the overcurrent protection devices that connect the UPS input/bypass supply to...
Electrical Connections 2.1.2 UPS Input Configuration Figure 2 illustrates the NX in a split bypass (dual-input) configuration. In this configuration the Static Bypass and the Maintenance Bypass lines are supplied from a separate feed from the Main input. Both sources must be protected externally with properly sized protective devices. By default, the unit ships with internal links installed between the Bypass input and Main input (Single Input configuration).
Electrical Connections 2.1.4 Cable Connections The rectifier input, bypass and output are accessible from the left side of the unit for installation. All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the left side of the NX and below the switch, as shown in Figure 3.
Electrical Connections 2.1.5 Safety Ground The safety ground busbar is located below the neutral input and output busbars as shown in Figure 5 below. The safety ground cable must be connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each cabinet in the system. All cabinets and cable conduit should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
Cabling Procedure CAUTION The operations described in this section must be performed by authorized electricians or qualified technical personnel. If you have any difficulties, contact your local Liebert representative or Liebert Global Services. NOTE Hydraulic pressure pliers, combinative tools and piston ring pliers should be used to connect AC wiring.
Electrical Connections Control Cables 2.2.1 Monitor Board Features Based on your site’s specific needs, the UPS may require auxiliary connections to manage the battery system (external battery circuit breaker, battery temperature sensor), communicate with a personal computer or provide alarm signaling to external devices or for Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO). The monitor board, arranged for this purpose, is located on the rear of the operator access door.
Electrical Connections Dry Contacts The UPS provides input dry contacts and output dry contacts. 2.3.1 Input Dry Contacts There are several input dry contacts at the X3 slot. Figure 8 Input dry contacts Table 1 Input dry contacts at X3 Position Name Description...
Electrical Connections 2.3.3 BCB Box Interface J10 is the BCB box interface. Table 3 BCB box interface Position Name Description J10.1 BCB Driver Signal - Output (N.O.) J10.2 BCB Contact State - Input (N.O.) J10.3 Power Ground BCB On-Line - Input - This pin will become active when J10.4 BCB interface is connected.
Electrical Connections 2.3.5 EPO Input—Optional The UPS has an Emergency Power Off (EPO) function that operates by a button on the control panel and a dry contact. The EPO button is under a hinged, clear plastic shield. The X2 slot, shown in Figure 9, is the EPO input interface. It is active when shorted from EPO-L to EPO-H.

Electrical Connections 3. Close CB1. The bypass contactor (M2) closes automatically and the LCD begins to show startup screens. The Rectifier indicator flashes green while the rectifier is starting up. It stops flashing and becomes solid green about 30 seconds after the rectifier enters the normal operation state. After initialization, the bypass static switch closes.
Electrical Connections Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance Bypass Follow the procedure below to transfer the load from the inverter output to the Maintenance Bypass line of the UPS. CAUTION Before performing this operation, read the messages on the LCD to be sure that bypass supply is regular and the inverter is synchronous with it.
ATTERY NSTALLATION Introduction Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets match the internal batteries be the same type used internally in the NX. If using multiple sets of batteries connected in parallel to provide the required battery backup run times, fit each set with an isolating device to permit working on one of the battery sets while leaving the others in service and providing backup protection.
Web site. When replacing batteries, Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets be the same type used internally in the NX. See Table 10 for a list of batteries that are approved for use with this product.
68 to 86°F (20-30°C). Position—Liebert battery cabinets come in versions specific to either the left or right side of the UPS. Control wires and power cables are cut to different lengths for the different versions. For sys- tems with multiple battery cabinets, the cabinets have different part numbers indicating placement of the cabinet relative to the UPS.

Non-Standard Batteries When batteries other than a matching battery cabinet are used, a remote battery disconnect switch with overcurrent protection is required per the National Electrical Code. Contact your local Liebert sales representative about this option. Install battery racks, cabinets and batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet AINTENANCE YPASS ABINET The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is designed to operate in UPS mode, bypass mode and maintenance mode. The mode is selected using the Bypass Switch. Figure 14 Single UPS with external Maintenance Bypass Cabinet—typical configuration Bypass Switch The Bypass Switch allows easy and rapid transfer of connected loads between the UPS and Bypass source.
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet Bypass Mode When the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is in the Bypass mode it provides an alternate path for power to the connected equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance or repair, manual activation of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the UPS inverter to the bypass source.
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet 4.6.2 Power Cable Installation Refer to Table 22 when selecting cables. NOTE Transient and steady state earth leakage currents may occur when starting the equipment. This should be taken into account when selecting ground current detection devices because these will carry the earth leakage currents of both the UPS equipment and the load.
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet Figure 17 Dry contact for X3 Dry contact for X3 Bolting Cabinets Together NOTE UPS wiring must be completed before the cabinets are bolted together. 1. Line up cabinets so that mounting holes are aligned. Place cabinets so mounting holes are aligned.
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet Operating Procedures 4.8.1 Startup and Initialization Follow these steps to startup the UPS while connected to the Maintenance Bypass. 1. Set Maintenance Bypass switch to the Normal position on Maintenance Bypass Cabinet. 2. Close the system input circuit breaker. 3.
Appendix Input and Output Transformer Voltages The UPS is able to display the primary voltage of the input transformer and the secondary voltage of the output transformer. 1. Using configuration software, enable the input transformer configuration. 2. Calculate the input-to-output voltage ratio and enter into software. Example: a step-down transformer from 480VAC to 208VAC is determined by dividing 480 by 208, which equals 2.31.
For two parallel systems, the DBS cable can be mounted between any two units belonging to different parallel systems. For information about the DBS kit or to order the optional equipment, see your local Liebert representative. The DBS cable is connected as illustrated in Figure 18.
5.2.3 Features of Parallel System • The hardware and firmware for parallel UPS module operation is standard in the Liebert NX, and the configuration can be set up by changing the settings in configuration software. • It is easy to install the parallel cables in a ring, providing high reliability and redundancy. And the intelligent paralleling logic provides the user with maximum flexibility.
