Charger
Battery
1. The UPS consists of mains input (main and bypass), rectifier/PFC, battery charger, inverter, bypass, battery, DSP
controller, and output.
2. When the mains supply is within normal limits, the rectifier will be switched on, and the battery charger will recharge
the battery string. Before the UPS is switched on, the load is supplied directly from the mains input, via the bypass. When
the UPS is switched on, the electronic transfer switch connects the inverter output to the load, and the mains supplies
DC power to the inverter via the rectifier/PFC circuit. The inverter then converts the DC power into pure sine wave AC
power, which is fed to the load via the electronic transfer switch.
3. When the mains supply is outside normal limits, the rectifier/PFC circuit boosts the battery voltage and supplies it to
the inverter. The inverter then converts it into pure sine wave AC power, which is fed to the load via the electronic
transfer switch.
4. When the mains supply returns within normal limits, the UPS will automatically transfer from Battery mode to Normal
mode, so that the mains supplies DC power to the inverter via the rectifier/PFC circuit, and the electronic transfer switch
supplies AC power to the load.
1.5 UPS States and Operating Modes
For information about the LED indicators mentioned in this section, refer to 4.1.1 LED Indicators.
The UPS states and operating modes include: Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode, ECO mode, Fault state and
Maintenance Bypass mode. The schematic diagrams illustrating Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode and
Maintenance Bypass mode are illustrated in Figure 1-5 to Figure 1-8.
Note
Maintenance Bypass mode is valid only when the UPS power output distribution unit (POD for short) is configured.
When the mains input is within normal limits, it is processed by the rectifier and inverter in order to supply the load with
voltage and frequency-stabilized power, while the battery charger recharges the battery. This condition is known as
Normal operating mode.
In Normal mode, the run indicator (green) is on, the alarm indicator is off, and the buzzer is silenced.

If the overload duration is exceeded, or in the event of an inverter or rectifier failure while the UPS is in normal operating
mode, the UPS switches to Bypass mode, so that the load is supply by the bypass source, which is derived directly from
the mains input. If the rectifier is still operative, the battery charger will continue to charge the battery.
In Bypass mode, the run indicator (green) is on, alarm indicator (yellow) is on, and the buzzer beeps at one second
intervals. The 'Current' page on the LCD will indicate 'On Bypass'.

Note
In the event of a mains failure or if the mains voltage is outside tolerance while the UPS is in Bypass mode, the UPS will shut down
and the power supply to the load will be interrupted.
In the event of a mains failure or if the mains voltage is outside tolerance, the rectifier and internal charger will stop
running, and the battery will supply power to the load through the inverter. In Battery mode, the run indicator (green) is
on, alarm indicator (yellow) is on, and the buzzer beeps at one second intervals. The 'Current' page on the LCD will
indicate 'On Battery'.

Note
1. The battery has been fully charged before delivery. However, some loss of capacity is inevitable during transportation and
storage. Therefore, it is important to charge the battery for eight hours before putting the UPS into operation for the first time, to
ensure it is capable of providing adequate backup time.
2. The battery cold start function may also be used to start the UPS from the Battery (providing it is fully charged) mode in the
event of a mains failure. This means that the battery power can be used independently to improve the system availability, to a
certain extent.
1.5.4 ECO Mode (For Single UPS With External Battery Only)
In ECO mode, the load is powered by bypass when the bypass voltage is normal, and the load is powered by inverter
when the bypass voltage is abnormal. ECO mode is an energy-saving operating mode. When using the UPS to supply
equipment that is no sensitive to mains power quality, ECO mode may be used to reduce power losses.
Note
1. In ECO mode, if the bypass fails or the bypass voltage goes outside normal limits, the UPS will transfer to Normal mode (providing
the output is not overloaded). However, if the bypass fails or the bypass voltage goes outside normal limits while the output is
overloaded, the UPS will not transfer to Normal mode, but will shut down the Bypass.
2. In ECO mode, the efficiency of the UPS is increased to 99%.
In Normal mode, the UPS will transfer to Bypass mode in the event of an inverter failure or UPS over-temperature. In
Battery mode (with no bypass mains), the UPS will shut down and interrupt the output supply to the load in the event of
an inverter failure or UPS over-temperature. In the UPS Fault state, the alarm indicator (red) will remain on in the fixed
state, the buzzer will continue to beep, and the corresponding fault information will be displayed on LCD.
If it is necessary to service or repair the UPS, you can switch the load to the Maintenance Bypass using the maintenance
bypass MCB, so that the power supply to the load is not interrupted. The maintenance bypass MCB is located on the
front panel of the POD, and is rated to handle the requirements of the total load capacity. Refer to Liebert ITA2 20kVA
UPS Power Output Distribution Unit User Manual for a more detailed description of the POD.

1. The UPS should be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the information provided in this section. In the event of
any problems, contact your local Vertiv service centre immediately.
2. The UPS must NOT be switched on without the approval of the commissioning engineer.
3. In the case of any equipment or items not covered by this section, refer to the specific mechanical and/or electrical installation
instructions provided with such items.
The UPS can be connected to 3-phase, 5-line (A, B, C, N, PE) TN, TT and IT AC power distribution systems (IEC60364-3).
2. Remove the cover plate from the cardboard box, and remove the UPS, as shown in Figure 2-2.
2. Check the accessories and models correspond to the shipping documents. If any problem is found, please notify the
dealer immediately.
2.2 Moving and Handling the UPS
Warning
The UPS may be moved manually, or by using a forklift truck or similar lifting equipment.
2.3 Installation Preparation
2.3.1 Location
UPS room
The UPS is designed for indoor operation, in a clean and well-ventilated environment designed to maintain the ambient
temperature within the specification limits.
The internal fans provide forced air cooling for the UPS. Cooling air enters the UPS through the ventilation holes on the
front panel, and the hot air is expelled via the ventilation holes on the rear panel. For this reason it is very important not
to obstruct the ventilation holes. Maintain at least 200mm clearances between the front, rear of the UPS and the wall or
adjacent equipment (see Figure 2-3), in order to avoid obstructing the UPS ventilation holes and preventing heat
dissipation. Otherwise, the UPS internal temperature will rise, which will shorten the UPS life.
If necessary, an indoor exhaust fan should be installed to prevent the indoor temperature from rising. An air filter should
be used when the UPS is to be operated in a dusty environment.

Note
Battery room
A small amount of hydrogen and oxygen will be generated at the end of the battery charging cycle, therefore it is
important to ensure that the battery installation environment fresh air ventilation capacity meets the EN50272-2001
requirements.
The battery ambient temperature should maintained constant, since ambient temperature is the main factor affecting
battery capacity and working life. The standard battery operating temperature is 20°C, operating it above this
temperature will shorten battery life, while operating it below this temperature will reduce battery capacity. If the average
battery operating temperature rises from 20°C to 30°C, the battery life will be reduced by 50%; if the battery operating
temperature exceeds 40°C, battery life will decrease exponentially. In general, the permitted ambient temperature of the
battery is 15°C ~ 25°C. The battery should be kept away from heat and ventilation holes.
When the UPS uses an external battery, you must install a protection device (such as fuse or circuit breaker) close to the
battery, and keep the wiring distance between the battery and the protection device to a minimum.
Storage environment
When the UPS is not to be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors in an environment where it is protected from
the excessive moisture and/or high temperatures. The battery should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment
for storage; the most suitable storage temperature is 20°C ~ 25°C.
During the storage period, the battery must be charged at regular intervals, in accordance with the battery instructions. When
charging the battery, you can connect the UPS to the mains temporarily to charge the battery and activate it.
Warning
1. For reasons of safety, all installation tools used on live components must be insulated.
2. The tools listed in Table 2-1 are for reference only; please adapt to the actual requirements for on-site installation and
connection.
Stepladder Forklift
Overcurrent
The appropriate over-current protection device should be installed on the mains input power distribution line, and the
current capacity of the power cable and the system overload requirements should be taken into account during the
installation procedure (see Table 2-2).For information about the thermo-magnetic circuit breaker, see Table 2-4.
Split-bypass
In the case of split-bypass configurations, separate protection devices should be installed on the mains and bypass
lines at the mains input power distribution.
protection cable, the coil is energised (12 V - COM), and the relay contact is closed. The relay A contact controls the UPS
main input shunt trip coil (L - N), so that it, in turn, is energised when the contact is closed. When the shunt trip coil is
energised, it triggers the UPS mains input CB, thus interrupting the back-feed path and guaranteeing the protection. In
this way, the bypass can continue to supply power to the load even in the presence of mains back-feed.
(2) Bypass back-feed
The bypass relay and dry contact are highlighted in GREEN in the Figure. The internal UPS sensor detects back-feed at
the bypass input terminals, UPS Dry Output Contact 2 is closed. Since the dry output contact is connected to the POD
internal relay B coil terminals via the back-feed protection cable, the coil is energised (12 V - COM), and the relay contact
is closed. The relay B contact controls the UPS bypass input shunt trip coil (L - N), so that it, in turn, is energised when
the contact is closed. When the shunt trip coil is energised, it triggers the UPS bypass input CB, thus interrupting the
back-feed path and guaranteeing the protection. In this way, the mains can continue to supply power to the load even in
the presence of bypass back-feed. Figure 2 shows the wiring diagram between 1 + 1 parallel POD and two UPS. The
back-feed protection principle in this configuration is the same as that for the single POD, the only difference being the
number of CB and the back-feed protection cable, which is not shown in detail in this case.
Note that the POD internal relays A, B, and the 12V voltage generator circuit are included on the same internal control
board; the position shown in Figure is purely indicative. The attachment is the specification of the internal shunt trip and
the internal control board.
Warning
1. The same neutral line must be used for the rectifier and bypass input power.
2. In the case of IT power grid systems, the 4-pole protection device for 3-phase UPS must be installed at the UPS external I/O
power distribution point, while the 2-pole protection device for 1-phase UPS must be installed at the UPS external I/O power
distribution point.
When using the earth RCD in split-bypass or parallel systems, the RCD should be located at the upstream input power
distribution point to avoid spurious operation.
The earth leakage current fed by the RFI filter in the UPS ranges from 3.5mA to 100mA. We recommend confirming the
sensitivity of each differential device in stalled on the upstream input power distribution and downstream power
distribution (load) lines.
Vertiv battery module options are provided with built-in over-current protective devices. Otherwise, the external battery
cabinet should fitted with a DC compatible circuit breaker in order to provide over-current protection for the UPS and its
batteries.
The protection device must be installed on the UPS output power distribution line. The protective device specification is
shown in Table 2-4.
2.5 Mechanical Installation
Two installation versions are available: tower installation and rack installation. Select the suitable installation version,
depending on the actual conditions.

Warning
Prior to the commissioning engineer's visit, if the load is not ready to be connected to the power supply, it is important to ensure
the terminals of the output cables are insulated safely.
After the connecting the output cables, locate the label (using the 20kVA model as an example) shown in Figure 2-24 on
the top cover of the UPS and tick the 'AC OUTPUT' and 'BYPASS INPUT' boxes corresponding to the installation
configuration, in order to simplify maintenance operations.
Notes
1. Before connecting the battery cables, confirm that the actual number of battery cells and the battery capacity are
consistent with the parameter settings on the LCD menus.
2. NEVER reverse the polarity of the battery cables.
3. Before replacing the battery module and connecting the battery cables, disconnect the DC battery MCB, switch the
UPS off completely, and insulate the terminals.
4. We recommend a maximum battery cable length of three metres. If the cables are longer than this, the UPS may not
operate correctly.
Installing the battery insulating plates
The battery terminals must be fitted with insulating plates in order to guarantee sufficient insulation distance between
the external battery cable connections and prevent faults such as arcing, and short circuits
To install the battery insulating plates, proceed as follows:
1. First crimp the user external cable to the battery terminals, Figure 2-30 shows the OT terminals.
2. Crimp the battery insulating plates, and use the screws to fasten the OT terminals and insulating plates together onto
the terminal block.
Note: The OT terminals and insulating plates installation sequence must be observed scrupulously, otherwise the
user external cable connections will be separated.
Warning
1. As shown in Figure 2-24, one DC battery MCB must be installed between the battery strings and the UPS.
2. The battery string delivers a high DC voltage, the capacity of the MCB and output cables is listed in Table 2-4.

The user can change these settings according to actual needs, refer to Appendix 1 LCD Parameters Setting for details.
After modifying parameters, press “Sync parallel parameters” to confirm the settings.
1. Set-up the parallel parameters for each UPS in the parallel system, then commission the inverter.
The specific commissioning procedures are as follows:
a) Make sure that the output MCB devices on each UPS unit in the parallel system are open, and then close the external
input MCB on each UPS, at this point, all the UPS are switched on. If 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, close the
corresponding input MCB and bypass MCB. At the same time, close the corresponding output MCB on the other UPS
under test, and make sure that the corresponding output MCB on the other UPS is open.
Warning
After closing the UPS external output MCB or the POD output MCB, the UPS output terminal block, POD output terminal block and
load will all be live, pay attention to personnel safety to avoid electric shocks. Verify whether it is safe to supply power to the load.
b) The LCD displays the self check screen, and the alarm indicator (red) and run indicator (green) are on simultaneously
for about five seconds.
c) The rectifier runs in normal state for about 30 seconds, after which the rectifier start-up phase is complete.
d) Refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting for the parallel parameters setting for each UPS. Check whether
the 'Parallel comm. Fail’ alarm is active, if yes, clear the fault as indicated in Table 4-5. Carry out the following procedures
if the UPS is running normally.
e) Press the power button on one the UPS units for 2 seconds, if 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, press the power button
on the UPS under test in the parallel system, then press Enter key to start the UPS. The run indicator (green) will blink,
after 20 seconds, the inverter will start, and the run indicator will switch on, if 1 + 1 parallel POD is configured, the other
UPS will display no redundancy in parallel, ignore the prompt for the moment.
f) If the battery is not connected, the alarm indicator on in fixed mode, and the buzzer will beep once a second. If the
battery is connected, the alarm indicator will be extinguished.
g) If the UPS is working normally, press the power button for two seconds to switch the inverter off.
h) Repeat the preceding steps a) ~ step g) to switch on and commission the other UPS inverters.
Note
Carry out the parallel commissioning procedures once each UPS is running normally.
2. After confirming that the inverter of each UPS functions normally, commission the parallel system; the specific
procedures are as follows:
a) Close the external output MCB and input MCB on each UPS, so that all the UPS units are switched on at the same time.
Once the rectifier start phase is complete, press the power button on one UPS for two seconds, the run indicator (green)
will switch on. Measure the inverter output voltage and verify whether it is within normal limits. If 1 + 1 parallel POD is
configured, close the corresponding input MCB and bypass MCB and output MCB on the POD.
b) Start the second UPS inverter, check whether the LCD for alarms, and confirm that the UPS parallel works normally.
c) Repeat the inverter start-up procedures for the third or fourth UPS in order to connect the UPS into the parallel
system.
Warning
1. During the parallel start-up phase, confirm that the external output MCB on each UPS has been closed, and that the outputs of all
the UPS inverters are connected in parallel.
2. During the parallel start-up phase, confirm that the system is working normally, then supply power to the load in order to avoid
load power failure.
3. If it is necessary to add a UPS to the parallel system, carry out the commissioning procedures described below:
a) Check and confirm the power distribution mode, and that all the power and signal cables are connected correctly to
the additional UPS, and that there are no short circuits. Check that the batteries have been installed and connected
correctly, that there are no short circuits and that the battery positive and negative poles are correct.
b) Repeat Part 1, steps a) to h) to complete commissioning the additional UPS. Switch off the UPS completely.
C) Ensure that the power and signal cables are connected securely.
d) Close the external input switch on the additional UPS, after starting up the UPS; access the interface shown in Figure
3-7 on any of the UPS units in the parallel system. Set the system parallel No. from 'N' to 'N+1', then click 'Sync parallel
parameters'.
e) Close the external output switches on the additional UPS, start the inverter in normal mode, after the rectifier start-up
phase is complete. Next, check that there are no alarms indicated on the LCD, and that the UPS parallel system is
working normally.
Note
1. In the case of 1+1 parallel systems, when one UPS is faulty and needs to be replaced on line, the procedure described above may be
used. The only difference in this case is that there is no need to change the parallel No., simply click 'Sync parallel parameters' for the
replacement UPS.
2. Clicking 'Sync parallel parameters' synchronises the items in the parallel settings interface, so that the parameters are applied to
the parallel system. The user should set-up up the other parameters manually, as required.
3. When parallel system output is active, the 'Sync parallel parameters' function can only be executed via a UPS with the output
switched on, otherwise this function is invalid.
4. When adding a single unit to a parallel system, first ensure that the parallel cables are connected correctly, then switch the
additional unit on.
The dual bus system consists of two independent UPS systems; each UPS system consists of one or two
parallel-connected single UPS units, or multiple parallel-connected single UPS units.
The dual bus system provides high reliability, which makes it suitable for use with loads having multiple input terminals.
In the case of single input UPS loads, it is possible to add and optional static trigger switch (STS) in order to start the
standard Load Bus Synchronization (LBS) system.
Place the UPS units side by side, and connect them as follows:
The dual bus system uses the LBS system to synchronise the outputs of two independent (or parallel) UPS systems. One
is the master system, while the other is the slave system. The dual bus system operating mode includes the master
system and/or slave system running in Normal mode or Bypass mode. Figure 3-8 illustrates the circuit diagram of the LBS
consisting of two UPS units.

Refer to 3.5 Commissioning Parallel System for the parallel system settings.
See 2.4 External Protective Devices for details of installation and type selection.
In the case of dual bus systems, refer to 2.6 Connecting Power Cables and 3.4 Connecting Power Cables when
selecting the power cables for single UPS and the parallel system, respectively. The bypass input power and main input
power must use the input terminal of the same neutral line. If the input terminal has leakage current, the leakage current
protective device should be installed upstream of the input terminal.
Note
1. The appearance of the LBS port is the same as the parallel port (see Figure 1-3).
2. In the case of dual bus systems consisting of parallel UPS units, we recommend preparing two LBS cables for connecting any two
parallel/LBS ports of the two parallel system, in order to guarantee a secure connection.
UPS1
UPS2
The LBS is the load synchronisation system, and is used to synchronise the output voltage phases of the two sections of
the UPS system. The two sections of the UPS system may consist of two single UPS units, or two UPS parallel systems.
'Master' and 'Slave' may be set-up manually via the LCD screen.
The UPS selected as the LBS master can send synchronization signals to LBS slave based on its inverter voltage phase.
After the slave receives the synchronization signal sent by the master, it will adjust its inverter voltage phase so that it is
synchronised with the master.
Thanks to this system, it is possible to synchronise the two sections of the UPS system, guaranteeing reliable transfer
between the respective output voltages and the STS, and hence a reliable, uninterrupted power supply to the load.
Note: The device includes a gravity sensor function, so that the LCD display direction will adapt to the device
layout mode.
The LED indicators consist of the run indicator and alarm indicator. Table 4-1 provides a description of these indicators.
UPS operation is accompanied with the following two different kinds of audible alarms, as described in Table 4-2.

2. Only qualified service personnel are authorized to remove such covers.
3. If it is necessary to carry out maintenance operations on the rack, it is important to bear in mind that the neutral line remains live.
Warning
This procedure results in mains voltage being applied to the UPS output terminals. Confirm that it is safe to apply power to the
load, if there is a load to be connected to the UPS output terminals. If the load is not ready to accept power, isolate it from the UPS
output terminals.
The single UPS start-up modes include normal start-up mode and battery start-up mode; refer to 2.7.3 Normal Start-Up
Mode and 2.7.4 Battery Start-Up Mode for details.
5.2 Procedures for Transferring between Operating Modes
Note
The Inverter operating modes include Normal mode (inverter supplied by mains) and Battery module (inverter supplied by battery).
In the event of a mains failure, the UPS will transfer to Battery mode. If you wish to transfer the UPS from Battery mode
to Normal mode, wait few seconds for the mains input to recover. After about ten seconds, the rectifier will restart
automatically, and the inverter will restore the power.
In standby mode, press and hold the power button. If the rectifier and inverter are normal, the interface shown in Figure
5-1 will appear, select 'YES' to switch the UPS on.
In Inverter mode, press and hold the power button. If the bypass is normal, the interface shown in Figure 5-2 will appear.
Select 'To Bypass' and click OK to transfer the UPS to Bypass mode; select 'Turn off UPS' and click OK to turn switch the
UPS off.
In Inverter mode, press and hold the power button. If the bypass is abnormal, then the interface shown in Figure 5-3 will
appear, select 'YES' to shut down the UPS output.
Note
In Bypass mode, the load is supplied with power derived directly from the mains input, rather than the conditioned power from the
inverter output.
For detailed information about Normal mode, Bypass mode, and Battery and Maintenance Bypass mode, please refer to
1.5 UPS State And Operating Mode.
Select 'Turn on UPS' and click OK to transfer to Inverter mode, see Figure 5-5.
Select 'Turn off UPS' and click OK to shut down the UPS output.
If ECO mode is enabled, the interface shown in Figure 5-6 will appear. Select 'YES' to shut down the UPS output.
When the UPS is running in Normal mode, you can use this procedure to transfer the load from inverter output to
maintenance bypass.

ITA2
Caution
1. Before performing this procedure, you should check the LED information first, and make sure the bypass is normal and
synchronized with the inverter. Failure to do so may result in a brief interruption in the power supply to the load.
2. You should select the single POD, or prepare the maintenance bypass MCB, in order to execute this function.
1. Access the LCD settings page and change Dry contact 3 to 'Maintain mode'. See Figure 5-7.
2. Remove the maintenance bypass switch baffle retaining screws, rotate the baffle upwards until it is locked in position,
and then fasten the retaining screws.
At this point, the system Interlock function has been activated and the UPS will transfer to internal bypass mode; you
should confirm that the UPS has been transferred to internal bypass mode.
3. After confirming, close the maintenance bypass switch.
Following UPS maintenance operations, this procedure may be used to transfer the load from the maintenance bypass to
the inverter.
Warning
If the maintenance bypass switch has been configured by the user, following UPS maintenance operations the user must transfer
the UPS to bypass mode manually, and then close the output switch. Failure to observe this may cause damage to the equipment.
1. Confirm that the maintenance bypass switch baffle has been rotated upwards and secured in position.
2. Close the mains input MCB and bypass input MCB on the front panel of the POD. At this point, the UPS will switch on
again and operate in bypass mode.
3. Confirm that the UPS is operating in Bypass mode, then close the output MCB on the front panel of the POD.
4. Open the maintenance bypass MCB on the front panel of the POD. Return the maintenance bypass switch baffle to its
original position, then fasten the retaining screws.
5. Press the power button on the operator and display panel of the UP so that the UPS transfers to Inverter mode.
5.3 Complete UPS Shut-down
In the case of UPS systems with POD, if you need to shut down the UPS completely, transfer the UPS from Inverter mode
to Maintenance Bypass mode, as described in para. 5.2.4 Transferring From Inverter Mode To Maintenance Bypass
Mode, so as to avoid affecting the power supply to the load during the UPS shut-down procedure. Then, if it is not
necessary to maintain the power supply to the load, open the maintenance bypass MCB directly, as shown in Figure 5-8.
CB1 SW CB2
In the case of UPS systems where the power distribution system has been set-up by the user, if it is necessary to isolate
the UPS from AC power, open the external input MCB. (If the main and bypass inputs are connected to separate mains
supplies, open both input MCB devices).

The REPO port, located at rear of the UPS, is designed to switch off the UPS in the event of an emergency (such as fire,
flood). The system will switch off the rectifier and inverter, and interrupt the power supply to the load immediately
(inverter and bypass output included), while the battery will stop charging or discharging. In the event of an emergency,
simply unplug the terminal connected to the REPO port.
If the mains input is present, the UPS control circuit will remain active; however, the output is interrupted. In order
disconnect all mains power from the UPS, the open the external main input MCB.
5.5 Auto Restart
In the event of a mains power failure, the UPS draws power from the battery in order to supply the load until the batteries
are discharged, at which point the UPS will shut down.
The UPS will restart automatically and resume supplying power to the load:
Once the mains power supply is restored.
If the UPS Auto Restart function is enabled.
After the Auto Restart delay has expired (default: 10s). During the Auto Restart delay, the UPS will charge the
battery in order to provide a safety margin for equipment shut-down if input power fails again.
If the Auto Restart function is disabled, you can restart the UPS manually by pressing the power button.

Chapter 6 Communication
The following section provides a brief overview of the UPS communication functions.
The communication ports include: intelligent card port, dry contact port, built-in port, RS 232 port, control port and USB
port.
Note
We recommend limiting signal cable lengths to no more than 3 metres, and keeping them away from power cables.
The UPS includes an intelligent card port (see Figure 6-1), which may be used to install communication device options,
such SIC and RDU-SIC cards. The intelligent card port and USB port can be used at the same time.
Relay card
Provides dry contact alarm information, including: On Battery, On Bypass, Low Battery, Summary Alarm, UPS Fault and
On UPS signals for communication to a remote monitoring system or for use with Liebert MultiLink® software. This card
also can accept the input signals used to shut down the UPS, irrespective of the current operating mode.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation information.
Unity card
• IS-UNITY-LIFE: This card is installed as standard on every Liebert ITA2 unit. It is used for communication between the
Liebert ITA2 UPS and Vertiv Trellis® NMS and LIFE Services.
• IS-UNITY-S: This optional card can be used instead of the standard card if communication to a third party platform is
required. Third-party platforms include SNMP or RS 485 (Modbus/Bacnet) protocols. This card may also be used for
communication between the Liebert ITA2 and Vertiv Trellis NMS and LIFE Services. All communication protocols are
active
simultaneously.
• IS-UNITY-DP: This optional card can be used instead of the standard card if communication to two third party platforms
is required. Third-party platforms include SNMP and RS 485 (Modbus/Bacnet) protocols. This card may also be used for
communication between the Liebert ITA2 UPS and Vertiv Trellis NMS and LIFE Services. All communication protocols are
active
simultaneously.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation information.
6.2 Connection Cables for Dry Contact Ports
The UPS provides five dry contact ports. The silkprints of the five dry contact ports are 1 ~ 12. The pin layout of each dry
contact port is shown in Figure 6-2, and the port description is shown in Table 6-1.

Note
Activating the UPS EPO will deactivate the rectifier, inverter and static bypass, but does not disconnect the UPS from the mains
input. If you wish to disconnect the UPS completely, it is also necessary to open the input MCB installed upstream of the UPS when
activating the EPO.
In the event of an emergency, close the REPO switch (supplied and installed by the user) in order to shut down the
rectifier and inverter, and switch the UPS off. Under normal conditions, the REPO switch cannot be used to isolate the
UPS from the mains input power. If an electronically controlled circuit breaker function is installed at the UPS input, the
REPO switch can be used to trip this breaker, thus cutting off the UPS mains input power. The position of the REPO
switch is shown in Figure 1-3, and the REPO cable connection is shown in Figure 6-3.
Note
1. We recommend using 0.82mm2 ~ 0.33mm2 copper core cable ( 18AWG ~ 33AWG signal cable).
2. If the REPO has been configured to trip an electronically controlled circuit breaker switch, after the REPO has been activated it will
be necessary to re-arm the switch before restarting the UPS.
Chapter 7 Maintenance
This section focuses on UPS maintenance, including fan maintenance, battery maintenance, UPS cleaning, UPS state
checks, and UPS function checks.
Note
Never attempt to carry out maintenance on the UPS while it is on line. Ensure that the UPS has been switched off completely when
performing any internal maintenance operations on it.
In order to avoid injury or damaging the device, wait until the fan is completely stationary before inserting fingers or any tools into
it.
The UPS fans are expected to run for 20,000 hours ~ 40,000 hours in continuous operation. The higher the ambient
temperature, the shorter the fan life.
During the UPS operation, it is important to check the condition of the fans at least once a year by confirming that they
blow air out of the ventilation holes on the rear panel.
7.2 Battery Maintenance
Note
The internal UPS battery module houses a sealed, lead-acid, maintenance-free battery. The battery life depends on the
ambient temperature, and charge and discharge times. High ambient temperatures and heavy discharge cycles will
shorten the battery life.
To preserve the battery life, it is necessary to:
Maintain the ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C
Prevent small current discharge. DO NOT operate the UPS in battery mode for periods in excess of 24 hours.
Charge the battery for at least 12 hours if it hasn't been charged for three months while the ambient temperature
remains within the specified limits, or two months in the event of high ambient temperatures
Note
1. Check the battery connection screws are regular intervals, and re-tighten them if necessary.
2. Make sure that all the safety devices present, in good condition and that they function correctly, and make sure that the battery
management parameter settings are correct.
3. Measure and log the ambient temperature in the battery room.
4. Check whether the battery ports are damaged or hot, and check the condition of the chassis and the covers.
If any of the batteries are found to be leaking, place them in a suitable container and dispose of them in accordance with
local regulations.
Lead-acid batteries are classified as hazardous waste material. The control of waste battery pollution is a nationally
important issue. Batteries must be stored, transported, used and disposed of in accordance with national and local legal
requirements and all other criteria applicable to the treatment of hazardous waste material and waste battery pollution
prevention.
According to the applicable regulations, waste lead-aid batteries must be recycled, while all other disposal methods are
prohibited. Uncontrolled or random disposal of waste lead-acid batteries, or other improper disposal methods can result
in serious environmental pollution, which will be investigated by the relevant authorities.
82 User Manual 10H52261UM60 - Rev. 1 - 10/2017
ITA2
As the provider of lead-acid batteries, Vertiv has developed a dedicated service network and waste battery recycling
system to assist users to dispose of waste batteries legally. Contact Vertiv or your nearest service centre for detailed
information about the waste battery the recycling system.
Vertiv may not be held liable for the environmental impact resulting from the failure to comply with the guidelines set out
in this section, or to use the waste battery recycling system offered by Vertiv.
7.3 Cleaning the UPS
Clean the UPS periodically, especially the ventilation holes, to ensure free airflow inside the UPS. If necessary, clean the
UPS with a vacuum cleaner. Confirm that the ventilation holes are unobstructed.
7.4 Checking the state of the UPS
We recommend checking the operational state of the UPS at least twice a year.
Check the following items:
1. Check for any UPS fault conditions: Is the alarm indicator on? Are there any UPS alarms active?
2. Check if the UPS is operating in Bypass mode. Under normal conditions, the UPS operates in Normal mode; if you find
that it is operating in Bypass mode, determine the reason (operator intervention, overload, internal fault, etc.)
3. Check if the battery is discharging: When the AC mains supply is within normal limits, the battery should not be
discharging; if you find that it is operating in Bypass mode, determine the reason (mains failure, battery test, operator
intervention, etc.)
7.5 Checking the UPS Functions
Note
Checking the UPS functions may interrupt the power supply to the load!
