NSTALLATION The Liebert NX™ UPS is designed primarily for telecommunications and data processing applica- tions. Liebert Corporation neither recommends nor knowingly sells this product for use with life sup- port and other designated “critical” devices. This section describes the NX’s environmental requirements and mechanical considerations that must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
1.2.1 Storing for Delayed Installation If the equipment will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors where the humidity is no higher than 90% and the temperature is no higher than 104°F (40°C). The storage area must protect the NX from excessive moisture (see 6.2 - UPS Environmental).
1.4.3 Special Considerations for 1+N Systems 1. Consider the grounding configuration of your system before finalizing module placement. For optimal ground performance, the NX modules should be close together. 2. For optimal load-sharing performance, the UPS output cables should be approximately the same length, plus or minus 20 percent.
1.6.1 Clearances There are no ventilation grilles on the sides or rear of the UPS. The sides must be accessible during installation. After installation, the unit may be placed with the rear against a wall and optional cabi- nets on either side. To enable routine tightening of power terminations within the UPS, make sure there is sufficient clearance in front of the NX to permit free passage of personnel with the door fully opened.
1.6.4 Optional Cabinets If your NX installation includes a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, the NX must be positioned to allow the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet to be bolted to left side of the NX (see Figure 1). Cables from the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be brought through the bottom side of the NX for connection. The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be cabled and bolted to the NX before the UPS and bypass cabinet are moved into their final position.
LECTRICAL ONNECTIONS The UPS requires both power and control cabling once it has been mechanically installed. All control cables must run separate from power cables in metal conduits or metal ducts that are electrically bonded to the metalwork of the cabinets to which they are connected. WARNING Before connecting input power to the NX, ensure that you are aware of the location and operation of the overcurrent protection devices that connect the UPS input/bypass supply to...
2.1.2 UPS Input Configuration Figure 2 illustrates the NX in a split bypass (dual-input) configuration. In this configuration the Static Bypass and the Maintenance Bypass lines are supplied from a separate feed from the Main input. Both sources must be protected externally with properly sized protective devices. By default, the unit ships with internal links installed between the Bypass input and Main input (Single Input configuration).
2.1.4 Cable Connections The rectifier input, bypass and output are easily accessible from the left side of the unit for installa- tion. All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the left side of the NX and below the switch, as shown in Figure 3.
UPS Rectifier and Bypass Input Supply • Protection from excessive overcurrents and short circuits in power supply input External overcurrent protection for the AC output circuit is to be provided. See 6.4 - UPS Elec- trical Characteristics and Table 12 for overload capacity.
2.1.7 Cabling Procedure CAUTION The operations described in this section must be performed by authorized electricians or qualified technical personnel. If you have any difficulties, contact your local Liebert representative or Liebert Global Services. NOTE Hydraulic pressure pliers, combinative tools and piston ring pliers should be used to connect AC wiring.
Internal UPS Battery Connections The UPS internal batteries will be connected at the factory, EXCEPT the Anderson connections between the shelves and to the fuses. WARNING The DC bus is live when this internal battery connection is made. This connection is to be performed ONLY by Liebert Global Services at startup.

ATTERY NSTALLATION Introduction Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets match the internal batteries in the NX in manufacturer and type. If using multiple sets of batteries connected in parallel to provide the required battery backup run times, fit each set with an isolating device to permit working on one of the battery sets while leaving the others in service and providing backup protection.
External Battery Cabinet Installation 3.4.1 Matching Battery Cabinets Two sizes of optional battery cabinets are available. Refer to Figures 13 and 14. The same model bat- tery cabinet may be installed in parallel in multiple cabinet strings for additional capacity. Battery run time depends on the cabinet model, the number of cabinets and the load on the UPS.
Battery Installation 3.4.3 Installation Considerations Position—Liebert battery cabinets come in versions specific to either the left or right side of the UPS. Control wires and power cables are cut to different lengths for the different versions. If the sys- tem includes a matching maintenance bypass cabinet (MBC), the MBC should be mounted to the left of the UPS (nearest the busbars) and the battery cabinet(s) should be installed to the right of the UPS.

3.4.4 Connecting the Battery Cabinet to the UPS After the battery cabinet equipment has been positioned and secured for operation and the batteries have been connected, connect the power cables as described below. (See Figure 34.) 1. Verify that all incoming high and low voltage power circuits are de-energized and locked out or tagged out before installing cables or making any electrical connections.
AINTENANCE YPASS The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is designed to operate in UPS mode, bypass mode and maintenance mode. The mode is selected using the Bypass Switch. Figure 17 Single UPS with external Maintenance Bypass Cabinet—typical configuration Input Mains Supply A B C UPS 1 Fuse Battery 1...
Bypass Mode When the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is in the Bypass mode, it provides an alternate path for power to the connected equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance or repair, manual activation of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the UPS inverter to the bypass source.
4.6.2 Power Cable Installation Refer to Tables 29, 30 and 32 when selecting cables. NOTE Transient and steady state earth leakage currents may occur when starting the equipment. This should be taken into account when selecting ground current detection devices because these will carry the earth leakage currents of both the UPS equipment and the load.
7. Connect the system input cables between the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet 'UPS Input' Busbars (A-B-C N terminals) and UPS input busbars (A-B-C N terminals) and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in. (5 N-m) (M6 bolt). 8. Connect the system outnput cables between the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet 'UPS Output' Busbars (A-B-C N terminals) and UPS output busbars (A-B-C N terminals) and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in.
Bolting Cabinets Together NOTE UPS wiring must be completed before the cabinets are bolted together. 1. Line up cabinets so that mounting holes are aligned. 2. Using supplied hardware, bolt the cabinets together. The bolts may be inserted from either the UPS side or from the MBS side, whichever is more convenient.
PTIONS Load Bus Synchronization The Load Bus Synchronizer (LBS) keeps the output of two independent UPS systems or parallel UPS systems in synchronization even when the systems are operating in different modes and even when either or both systems are operating on batteries. When the LBS is used, one UPS system is desig- nated as master, the other as slave.
The 1+N system is used to: • Increase the reliability of the system to ensure adequate power supply to the critical load con- nected. • Increase serviceability and allow the execution of maintenance operations and reparations with- out affecting the ordinary operating conditions of the system (depending on the redundancy level).
The sequence to transfer to maintenance bypass mode is the same as for transferring a single- module system. The maintenance bypass switches should be switched on as synchronously as pos- sible. Thus the system can be repaired without interrupting the power supply to critical load. Installing Parallel System The basic installation procedure of parallel system is the same as that of single module system.
5.3.5 Power Cables Wiring of power cables is similar to that of single module system (See 2.1 - Power Cabling). The bypass sources of all modules should be the same, and the outputs should be connected altogether cor- rectly. Power cables will be supplied by customer. Power cables to the UPS’s of the 1+N paralleling cabinet must be routed through either the top or bottom entry access of the UPS.

NOTE For startup procedure, see the UPS operations and maintenance manual, SL-25210. Figure 25 Dry contacts, multiple UPS modules with distribution panel UPS 1 M3 Board Ext.
5.3.7 Emergency Power Off (EPO) The external emergency stop facility is identical to that described for the single unit installation— that an individual emergency stop button is provided for each unit. Figure 26 Connecting EPO push button Normally Open EPO Normally Closed EPO UPS2...
Battery Circuit Breaker Box The box contains the same battery isolating circuit breaker as mounted in the battery cabinet. Two battery circuit breaker boxes are available for use in installations where the battery is not installed in the battery cabinet, in which case the appropriate battery box is fitted as close as possible to the battery and connected to the UPS equipment as illustrated in Figure 27.
