The Liebert® STS2 monitors the input sources, to ensure each source is operating within set parameters, as well as ensure that each source is within acceptable tolerances for a transfer between sources to be completed.

  • Page 36: Reliability And Agency Requirements

    8.1.3 Factory Backup and Service Assistance Because improper installation can cause a system to fail, a Vertiv technician should inspect the unit to ensure that it is properly installed and that its operating parameters are properly configured. Once the Liebert® STS2 is properly installed, you, as the on-site operator, can easily monitor the unit’s operation utilizing the touchscreen.

  • Page 37: Mode Of Operation

    8.2.1 Normal (Preferred Source) Under normal operating conditions, the Vertiv™ Liebert® STS2 routes power from the preferred input source to the output load. The unit monitors the voltage current and phase of each source to ensure that both are operating within set tolerances, and that the alternate source is available, should a transfer be required.
