Operation of this unit in a residential area may cause harmful interference that the user must correct at his own expense. Vertiv | Liebert NXL 250-400 Installation Manual...
NOTICE Three-phase input supply required. The standard Liebert NXL UPS is suitable for connection to three-phase, four-wire (+ Earth) TN-C, TN-S, IT-G, IT-IG or, three-phase, three-wire plus ground, IT-UG. If using with IT Power system, a 4-pole disconnect device must be included as part of building installation.
(see Environmental Parameters in Table 10). The Liebert NXL UPS is cooled with the aid of internal fans. To permit air to enter and exit and prevent overheating or malfunctioning, do not cover the ventilation openings.
1.4.2 Clearances The Liebert NXL has no ventilation grilles at either side or at the rear of the UPS. Clearance around the front of the equipment should be sufficient to enable free passage of personnel with the doors fully opened.
When bringing the 1+N system online for the first time or after removing one unit, Vertiv recommends checking the bypass current mismatch. To check the bypass current mismatch: Place a load on the bypass of each UPS module.

Given that every installation has its own characteristics, this section provides guidelines for qualified installation personnel with knowledge of operating practices, regulatory standards and the equipment to be installed. External overcurrent protection must be provided. See Table 10 - Liebert NXL UPS specifications for overload capacity. Dual Input When wiring the UPS with a separate rectifier and bypass input, each input must be protected separately.
• AC and DC cables must be run in conduits according to local codes, national codes and standard best practices. This will prevent creation of excess EMI fields. 2.2.1 Sizing the Input Breaker Feeding a Liebert NXL UPS The rectifier nominal input current value (Table 11) is based on providing enough power to operate the inverter at full rated load when the input voltage is nominal.

For 1+N systems with a maintenance Bypass, these Aux contacts must be run to each module from an isolated source. 2. For 1+N systems, these breaker Aux contact go to the UPS that it is associated with. Key Status Input can be either Form-C, N.O. or N.C. contact. Vertiv | Liebert NXL 250-400 Installation Manual...
Care must be taken to prevent the drain wire from touching any other component in the module. 8. Attach control wires to the side of the control door where the Inter-Module Board (IMC) is attached. Do not run wires across the IMC board. Vertiv | Liebert NXL 250-400 Installation Manual...

Failure to set the ground fault interrupters properly could cause loss of power to the critical load. 2.5.3 Preferred Grounding Configuration, Battery Systems Open-rack battery systems, depending on local code requirements and customer preference, are normally: • Floating (ungrounded) • Center-tapped and floating Vertiv | Liebert NXL 250-400 Installation Manual...
For Multi-Module systems using a 3-wire bypass, the Neutral-Ground bond must be made at the common neutral connection point in the switchgear or parallel cabinet. 2.5.5 High Resistance Ground Systems The Liebert NXL is compatible with High Resistance Ground Systems. See your local Vertiv representative for details. ROUNDING...
3.1.3 Load Bus Synch An optional Load Bus Synch (LBS) system can be used to synchronize two Liebert NXL UPSs or an Liebert NXL UPS to a Liebert Series 610 UPS. 3.1.4 Remote Alarm Panel The remote alarm panel has LED alarm lights.
4. Press up to four (4) events. Selected events will show up under Relay 1 Assignment. NOTE To deselect an event, click on the event. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each relay. 6. Press SAVE to keep the settings. Vertiv | Liebert NXL 250-400 Installation Manual...
• Delay, sec—0 to 99.9 (default: 0) 3.2.3 Input Contact Isolator Board The Input Contact Isolator Board (ICI) provides a Liebert NXL module interface for up to eight external user alarm or message inputs to be routed through the NXL’s alarm network. The eight contacts are normally open dry contacts.
All control wiring (by others) must be run separate from power wiring. Control wiring runs should not be combined in the same conduit. Signal voltage: 100mA @ 12VDC. Maximum cable length 500 ft. (152m) with #16AWG and flexible stranded cable. Vertiv | Liebert NXL 250-400 Installation Manual...
