  • Page 7: Product Overview

    Liebert SiteLink interface. ® The Liebert LDMF consists of a monitor board, interface board, optional local display and Branch Sensor Modules (BSM). The Liebert LDMF is capable of receiving input from current branch sensor modules. The sensor module (BSM) contains 100A current transformers (CTs) encapsulated in an epoxy-filled plastic enclosure designed to be mounted next to the panelboard.
  • Page 8: Major Components

    • A DB9 serial port on the outside panel is available for local configuration. PM4 Interface Board (PIB) The Liebert LDMF PM4 Interface Board (PIB) provides connections for the voltage and currents of the panelboard main circuit breaker as well as the CT current for any installed large branches or subfeed breakers (maximum of 18 CTs).
