Always identify connecting wiring prior to disconnecting any wiring. Do not substitute parts except as authorized by Vertiv. Maintain the UPS cabinets free of foreign materials such as solder, wire cuttings, etc. Contact Liebert Services if you are not sure of the procedures to follow or if you are not familiar with the circuitry.
Other sites can benefit from a variety of money-saving options. Vertiv recommends two preventive maintenance visits per year for the UPS. The first can be conducted with the UPS operational and includes an infrared scan of key UPS components.
The following components utilized in the UPS have a limited life cycle and are specifically exempt from warranty. To prevent a wear-out failure of one of these components affecting the critical load operations, Vertiv recommends these components be periodically inspected and replaced before the expected expiration of their life cycle.
DC fuses operate at the rated battery voltage at all times. A blown DC bus fuse indicates a serious problem. Serious injury or damage to the equipment can result if the fuse is replaced without knowing why it failed. Contact Liebert Services for assistance. Vertiv | Liebert ®...
