1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Liebert® EXS™ uninterruptible power system (UPS) is an intelligent, online UPS with sine wave output. The UPS offers reliable, high-quality AC power to small-scale computer centers, networks, communication systems, automatic control systems, and similar sensitive electronic equipment. 1.1 Model Configurations Table 1.1 Model Configurations Model Rating...

See Table 7.3 on page 55, for approximate run times. Batteries NOTE: To maintain battery design life, operate the UPS in an ambient temperature of 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Maintenance Breaker electrically isolates the UPS and internal batteries for maintenance. Bypass Vertiv | Liebert® EXS™ Installer/User Guide...
1.5.3 Bypass Mode Bypass mode supplies power to the load from the bypass source if an overload or fault occurs during normal operation. On the front-panel display, the run indicator (green) is On, the alarm indicator (yellow) is On, and the buzzer beeps once each second. The LCD "Current" screen displays "On Bypass." Figure 1.6 Bypass-mode Operation Item Description...
When enabled, which is the default setting, Auto Restart mode automatically re-starts the UPS after a shut-down that resulted from depleted batteries after an extended power outage. A built-in 10-second delay after utility power is restored allows other equipment to start first and stabilize before the UPS restarts. Vertiv | Liebert® EXS™ Installer/User Guide...
1.5.5 Eco Mode—Single UPS The UPS ships in Eco mode as the factory-default setting. Eco mode reduces power consumption and provides UPS efficiency approaching 99% by powering the load via bypass if the bypass voltage is normal or by powering the load via the inverter when the bypass voltage is outside the specified range. NOTE: During Eco mode, if a bypass-failure or abnormal-bypass-voltage notification appears when the output is not overloaded, the UPS will transfer to Normal Mode.
UPS shuts down and stops output power. During a Fault state, the front- panel display alarm indicator (red) is On, the buzzer beeps continuously, and fault information displays on the LCD screen. Vertiv | Liebert® EXS™ Installer/User Guide...
UPS may shut down without notice and shut-off output power to the load. NOTE: The UPS has no user-serviceable parts. If the UPS malfunctions and requires service, visit http://www.VertivCo.com/en-us/support/ or contact your local Vertiv representative. Figure 1.8 Maintenance-bypass Operation...
2 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING NOTE: These are general installation procedures and methods. Because each site is different, consider the site conditions and requirements when planning and conducting the installation. 2.1 Pre-installation Preparation Before beginning the installation, consider the environmental requirements, service clearances, and external protective devices when planning the final location of the UPS system.
2.1.4 Storage If you do not install the UPS immediately, you must store it indoors and protect it from excessive moisture, heat, and other harsh conditions. Store the batteries in a dry, well-ventilated environment with a temperature range of 68°F ~ 77°F (20°C ~ 25°C). NOTICE Risk of failure to properly charge batteries can damage the batteries and void the warranty.

The UPS includes an overcurrent-protection device for the internal battery. UPS Output The UPS includes output overcurrent protection in all modes of operation. If the customer-provided output-distribution panel is not within sight of the UPS, the distribution panel must include a main breaker. Vertiv | Liebert® EXS™ Installer/User Guide...
Upon receipt, check the items received against the order and shipping manifest. If any parts are missing, contact your local Vertiv representative or visit http://www.VertivCo.com/en-us/support/. The UPS ships on a pallet and is equipped with casters that permit two or more people to roll it off the pallet for installation.
6. Place the ramp onto the pallet at the front of the UPS, and gently roll the UPS down the ramp to the floor then into the installation position, see Figure 2.3 above. 7. Lower the leveling feet to fix the UPS in the location. Vertiv | Liebert® EXS™ Installer/User Guide...
2.3 Connecting Power Cables WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death. Before beginning installation, verify that all external overcurrent protection devices are open (Off), and that they are locked-out and tagged appropriately to prevent activation during the installation. After the power cables are connected, the terminal block’s protective cover must be reinstalled to remove the electric shock hazard.

2.3.2 Connecting I/O Cables—Dual-input Configuration Dual input configuration for the UPS requires that both input feeds be from the same solid N-G bonded source. Prepare to connect the UPS power cables to the I/O terminal block on the UPS rear panel, see Figure 2.4 on the previous page: •...
Provides dry-contact alarm information, including signals for: On Battery, On Bypass, Low Battery, Summary Liebert® IS-Relay Alarm, UPS Fault and On UPS for communication to a remote-monitoring system or network-connected Vertiv Card or third-party shut-down software. The card also accepts input signals to shut-down the UPS during any operating mode.
2.4.2 REPO Connection Table 2.5 below, describes the pin-out of the REPO port, J14, used for N.O. or N.C. connection. Table 2.5 REPO port (J14) Pin Descriptions J14 Pin # Pin Name Description +5VDC REPO Power Supply, 5 VDC, 100mA REPO Coil N.C.
To connect the serial port communication cable, connect one end of the DB-9 serial-port communication cable to the DB-9 serial port on the rear panel of the UPS. Connect the other end to the computer’s DB-9 port. The port uses the RS-232 protocol. Vertiv | Liebert® EXS™ Installer/User Guide...
