Fuses The Vertiv™ Liebert® EXM’s main input and bypass input busbars are equipped with fuses (six locations; see Figure 5.2 on page 46 ). The type is Bussman, rated 450 A for 50-200 kVA units (170M4463 for main input and 170M4465 for bypass input) and rated 550 A for 250 kVA units.
NOTE: All auxiliary cables must be double insulated and shielded. Wire should be 20-16 AWG stranded for maximum runs between 80 and 200 ft (25-60 m), respectively. NOTE: Refer to SL-26103, the Vertiv™ Liebert® EXM Maintenance Bypass Cabinet manual for the Liebert® MBC wiring. 4.4.4 Battery Cabinet Interface Connectors The battery cabinet interface is on the Dry Contact Terminal Block at J22.
Do not apply more than 12 V to the Emergency Power Off (EPO) input. Exceeding 12 V on this input can damage the Vertiv™ Liebert® EXM’s internal circuitry and control boards. Exceeding 12 V will also put the Liebert® EXM in an EPO state, and the unit will not reset, making it non-functional.

X - Means the content of the hazardous substances in at least one of the average quality materials of the part is outside the limits specified in SJ/T11363- 2006. Vertiv has been committed to the design and manufacturing of environment-friendly products. It will reduce and eventually eliminate the hazardous substances in the products through unremitting efforts in research. However, limited by the current technical level, the following parts still contain hazardous substances due to the lack of reliable substitute or mature solution: All solders in the products contain lead.
Input phase sequence is reversed. Contact Vertiv Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance. Soft Start Fail Rectifier could not start due to low DC bus voltage. Contact Vertiv Services at 800-543-2378 for assistance. This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the amplitude or frequency of bypass voltage is beyond the normal range.
