1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Liebert® ITA2™ 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 Front-panel Components The front panel of the UPS provides ventilation holes and an operation/display panel with LED indicators and function keys.
Figure 1.3 UPS Rear Panel with Plug-n-Play Battery Connectors Item Description Liebert® IntelliSlot™ port Dry-contact port REPO port RS-232 port Multi-function port Parallel/LBS ports Ventilation holes AC-output terminals AC-input terminals Ventilation holes Battery-connector ports USB port 1.3 UPS States and Operating Modes NOTE: See Table 3.2 on page 42, for description of the run-indicator and alarm-indicator LEDs mentioned in this section.
Normal operation supplies clean, conditioned, sine-wave power to connected equipment from normal utility input. The battery charger charges the batteries. On the front-panel display, the run-indicator (green) is On, the alarm indicator is OFF, and the buzzer is silent. Figure 1.4 Normal-mode Operation Vertiv | Liebert® ITA2™ Installer/User Guide...
1.3.2 Battery Mode Battery mode supplies battery power to the load if utility power fails or if the utility voltage goes outside of the permissible range. 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 Battery." Figure 1.5 Battery-mode Operation Item Description...
If utility power fails or if its quality is out of range while the UPS is in Maintenance Bypass Mode, the 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.Vertiv.com/en-us/support/ or contact your local Vertiv representative. 1 Product Description...

If a REPO connection is not required for the UPS, the factory-installed jumper between Pin 9 and Pin 10 must remain installed for the UPS to operate. NOTE: The terminal-block wire range is 18 AWG ~ 22 AWG (0.82 mm ~ 0.33 mm ), and we recommend using 18-AWG copper, shielded, signal cable. Vertiv | Liebert® ITA2™ Installer/User Guide...
Figure 2.13 REPO-connections Detail Item Description No REPO connection—factory-supplied jumper must remain installed. Normally-closed (N.C.) connection—remove factory-supplied jumper and wire pins 2 and 4 to a remote switch. Normally-open (N.O.) connection—factory-supplied jumper must remain installed. Port 5/REPO input. See Table 2.6 on the previous page, for the pinout details. 2.8.3 Dry-contact Connections The UPS includes 5 dry-contact ports described in Table 2.7 on the next page.
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® ITA2™ Installer/User Guide...
The multi-function port is a standard RJ-45 connection that supports Modbus/Jbus protocol, and on units with terminal-block battery connector, it connects Vertiv temperature and temperature/humidity sensors. In addition, when connecting 2U battery cabinets, you must use this port to automatically detect the number of battery strings and for temperature-compensated charging.
