present. For ancillary cabinets, refer to 2.6 - Auxiliary Cabinets.
1.1 Operator Control and Display Panel

Information about using the UPS control panel is detailed in SL-26200, available at Vertiv’s™ Web site,
www.vertiv.com

2.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the Liebert® EXM’s environmental requirements and mechanical considerations that must
be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
Because each site is unique, this section presents a guide to general procedures and practices that should be
observed by the installing engineer, rather than step-by-step installation instructions.
NOTICE
Risk of improper installation. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not apply electrical power to the UPS equipment before the commissioning engineer arrives at the installation site.
The UPS must be installed by a properly trained and qualified engineer in accordance with the information contained in
this chapter. All the equipment not referred to in this manual is shipped with details of its own mechanical and electrical
installation information.
NOTE
Three-phase, three-wire input power is required.
NOTE
Input power must be supplied to the Liebert® EXM from a properly grounded Wye source. The Liebert® EXM is
not for use with impedance grounded systems, corner-grounded systems or high-leg Delta systems. For these
applications, an isolation transformer must be installed between the input power and the Liebert® EXM.
2.1 Initial Inspections

1. While the Liebert® EXM and ancillary cabinets are still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container for any
signs of damage or mishandling. Do not attempt to install the system if damage is apparent. If any damage is noted, file a
damage claim with the shipping agency immediately and contact Vertiv™ Services at 800-543-2378 to inform them of the
damage claim and the condition of the equipment.
2. Compare the contents of the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the carrier and your local Vertiv™
representative immediately.
3. Check the product label on the back of front door and confirm the contents match the UPS model, capacity and main
parameters that were ordered.
2.1.1 Storing the UPS and Batteries for Delayed Installation
If the Liebert® EXM system will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors in a clean, dry and cool
location (see 7.2 - UPS Environmental Requirements). If the UPS includes batteries, either internally or in a
battery cabinet, the batteries’ requirements will dictate the storage conditions. Batteries should be unpacked,
installed and charged as soon as possible after delivery.
NOTICE
Risk of failure to properly charge batteries. Can cause permanent damage to batteries and void the warranty.
Batteries will self-discharge during storage. Batteries must be recharged as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
A notice of “Charge Before Date” is affixed to each unit that has batteries inside. The “Charge Before Date” is calculated
based on the batteries being stored at 77°F (25°C). Storage at a higher temperature will increase the rate of self-discharge,
requiring earlier recharge. Consult the battery manufacturer on how to determine when the batteries need to be
recharged.
2.2 Preliminary Checks

2.2.1 Identification
The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the back of the main door listing the type and size of the
UPS.

2.3 UPS Location
2.3.1 Positioning the UPS
Choose a location for the UPS that offers:
• Easy connection to inputs, outputs and auxiliary equipment
• Enough space to service the UPS
• Air circulation sufficient to expel heat produced by UPS
• Protection against moisture and excessive humidity
• Protection against dust and other particulate matter
• Compliance with fire prevention regulations and practices
• Operating environment temperature of 74-80°F (23-27°C) for maximum battery life
2.3.2 Environmental Considerations
Before installing the Liebert® EXM, verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions stipulated in
7.2 - UPS Environmental Requirements, paying particular attention to the ambient temperature and air
exchange system.
The UPS unit should be installed in a cool, dry, clean-air environment with adequate ventilation to keep the
ambient temperature within the specified operating range 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
For optimal UPS system performance and service life, maintain the operating temperature within the range of
74-80°F, (23-27°C).
The Liebert® EXM is cooled by internal fans. Cooling air enters the unit through the front of the unit and is
exhausted out the top. To permit proper air flow and prevent overheating, do NOT block or cover the ventilation
openings or blow air down onto the unit. The UPS requires 24 in. (610mm) ventilation clearance above the unit.
See Table 25 for details on heat dissipation.

2.4 Considerations in Moving the Liebert® EXM
Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft2 or kg/cm2) of any handling
equipment. See Table 14 for the weights of various units.
The Liebert® EXM may be rolled on its casters for short distances only. For longer distances, move the UPS with
a forklift or similar equipment to ease the relocation and to reduce vibration.
WARNING
Risk of moving heavy unit. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the Liebert® EXM has sufficient lifting capacity. The
Liebert® EXM’s weight ranges from 748 to 1244lb. (339 to 564kg). See Table 14 for the weight of each
unit.
The UPS presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the Liebert® EXM more than 15 degrees from vertical.
The UPS is fitted with casters—Take care to prevent movement when unbolting the equipment from its
shipping pallet. Ensure adequate personnel and lifting equipment are available when taking the Liebert®
EXM off its shipping pallet.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le poids élevé de l’appareil peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort.
Veillez à ce que les équipements utilisés pour déplacer le système EXM de Liebert® possèdent une
capacité nominale suffisante. Le poids du système EXM de Liebert® varie entre 339 et 564 kg (748 to
1422 lb) sans les batteries. Reportez-vous au Tableau 14 pour connaître le poids de l’appareil avec les
batteries.
Le système ASC présente un risque de renversement. N’inclinez pas le système EXM de Liebert® à plus
de 15 degrés de la verticale.
Comme le système ASC est équipé de roulettes, veillez à éviter les mouvements involontaires lorsque
vous déboulonnez l’équipement de sa palette d’expédition. Veillez à ce qu’un personnel approprié et un
dispositif de levage soient disponibles lorsque vous retirez le système EXM de Liebert® de la palette
d’expédition.
WARNING
Risk of heavy unit tipping over while being moved. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
The casters are strong enough for movement across even surfaces only. Casters may fail if they are
subjected to shock loading, such as being dropped or rolled over holes in the floor or obstructions. Such
failure may cause the unit to tip over, injuring personnel and damaging the equipment.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le centre de gravité élevé de l’appareil présente un risque de renversement lors des déplacements, peut
entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort.
Les roulettes sont suffisamment résistantes pour le déplacement sur des surfaces planes uniquement.
Les roulettes peuvent être endommagées si vous les soumettez à des impacts, notamment en cas de
chute ou de passage sur des obstacles ou trous dans le plancher. Une telle défaillance peut causer le
renversement de l’appareil, qui risque de blesser le personnel et d’endommager l’équipement.
Final Positioning
When the equipment has been finally positioned, ensure that the adjustable stops are set so that the UPS will
remain stationary and stable (see 4.0 - Installation Drawings).
The Liebert® EXM and its auxiliary cabinets must be installed on a concrete or equivalent, non-resilient floor.

2.5 Mechanical Considerations
The Liebert® EXM is constructed with a steel frame and removable panels. Top and side panels are secured to
the chassis by screws. The doors may be opened for access to power connections bars, auxiliary terminals
blocks and power switches.
The UPS comes with an Operator Control Panel that provides basic operational status and alarm information.
The cabinet houses the power components. Cooling is provided by internal fans. The unit sits on four casters.
Adjustable stops are provided to prevent the UPS from moving once it has been moved to its final position.
The Input/Output Section (see Figure 1) provides the additional space to support wiring and conduit landing for
the 250kVA model of the Liebert® EXM.
WARNING
Risk of heavy units tipping over while being moved. Can cause property damage, injury and death.

There are no ventilation grilles on the sides or back of the UPS.
Leave a minimum of 24 in. (610mm) between the top of the UPS frame and the ceiling to permit adequate air
circulation above the unit. Vertiv™ recommends against using air conditioning or other systems that blow air onto
the top of the unit.
2.5.3 Floor Installation
If the Liebert® EXM is to be placed on a raised floor, the UPS should be mounted on a pedestal that will support
the equipment point loading. Refer to the bottom view in Figure 1 to design this pedestal.
2.5.4 Cable Entry
Cables can enter the Liebert® EXM from the top or bottom for the 250kVA; cable entry is bottom only for the
50-200kVA through removable metal plates.
Some plates have factory-punched holes and others are designed to allow the personnel to punch holes for
fitting and securing the conduit. Once the conduit holes are punched, these plates should be reattached to the
UPS. The conduit size and wiring method must be in accordance with all local, regional and national codes and
regulations, including NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.
The UPS must be accessible from the front to allow personnel to complete the cable connections and make
necessary adjustments.
NOTE
When installing the UPS, the customer must provide a disconnect with overcurrent protection at the output of
the UPS.

3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS—UPS
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. All control cabling must be shielded.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Before connecting input power to the Liebert® EXM, ensure that you are aware of the location and
operation of the overcurrent protection devices that connect the UPS input/bypass supply to the power
distribution panel.
De-energize and lockout or tagout all incoming high- and low-voltage power circuits before installing
cables or making any electrical connections.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de décharge électrique pouvant entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures et même la
mort.
Avant de procéder au branchement de l’alimentation d’entrée du système EXM de Liebert, veillez à
prendre connaissance de l’emplacement et du fonctionnement des dispositifs de protection de
surintensité qui raccordent l’alimentation d’entrée ou de dérivation du système ASC au panneau de
distribution électrique.
Coupez l’alimentation et appliquez le verrouillage ou l’étiquetage à tous les circuits d’alimentation haute
tension et basse tension avant d’installer les câbles ou d’effectuer tout autre branchement électrique.
3.1 Power Cabling

3.1.1 Lug Size and Cable Rating
The main factors affecting the choice and size of cable are voltage, current (also taking into account
overcurrent), room temperature and conditions of installation of the cable. Refer to ANSI/NFPA 70.
The power cables of the system must be sized with respect to the following description:
• UPS input cables - The UPS input cables must be sized for the maximum input current, including the maximum battery
recharge current, given in Tables 15, and 16 with respect to the unit rating and the input AC voltage.
• UPS bypass and output cables - The bypass and output cables must be sized for the nominal output current, given in
Tables 17 and 18, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.
• Battery cables - See the Liebert® EXM External Battery Cabinet manual, SL-25656, for battery installation guidelines and
instructions. The manual ships with the battery cabinet and is available at Liebert’s Web site: www.vertiv.com
NOTE
Table 15 gives nominal currents for determining the size of UPS power cables. Other important factors to
consider include cable route length and coordination with protective devices.
The power cables can be sized to suit the UPS unit rating according to Table 15.
Torque Requirements
Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for lug size and torque requirements.

Bolt Shaft Size Lb-in (Nm)
1/2" (M12) 428 (48)
Table 3 Terminal block with compression lugs (for control wiring)

AWG Wire Size or Range Lb-in (Nm)
#22 - #14 3.5 to 5.3 (0.4 to 0.6)

3.2 External Protective Devices
For safety concerns, it is necessary to install external circuit breakers or other protective devices for the input AC
supply of the UPS system. This section provides generic practical information for qualified installation engineers.
The installation engineers should be knowledgeable about regulatory wiring standards and the equipment to be
installed.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection in
accordance with NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.
3.2.1 Rectifier and Bypass Input Supply of the UPS
Overcurrents
Install suitable protective devices in the distribution unit of the incoming mains supply, considering the power
cable current-carrying capacity and overload capacity of the system. Generally, the magnetic circuit breaker with
IEC60947-2 tripping curve C (normal) at the 125% of the nominal current listed in Table 15 is recommended.
Split bypass: In case a split bypass is used, separate protective devices should be installed for the rectifier input
and bypass input in the incoming mains distribution panel. A shunt trip coil of 480V must be installed in the
bypass input breaker if the system does not include a Liebert® Bypass Cabinet. Refer to Figure 7 for more details.
Earth Leakage, RCD Devices
Any residual current detector (RCD) installed upstream of the UPS input supply:
• Must be sensitive to DC unidirectional pulses (Class A)
• Must be insensitive to transient current pulses, and
• Must have an average sensitivity, adjustable between 0.3 and 1A.
To avoid false alarms, earth leakage monitoring devices when used in systems with split bypass input or when
used in paralleled UPS configurations, must be located upstream of the UPS. Alternatively, the device must
monitor the combined three-wire rectifier and split bypass input currents.
3.2.2 UPS Output
If an external distribution panel is used for load distribution, the selection of protective devices must provide
discrimination with those that are used at the input to the UPS (see Table 20).

3.2.3 UPS Input Configuration
By default, the Liebert® EXM ships with internal links installed between the bypass input and main (rectifier)
input (single input configuration).
Figures 7 and 8 show the Liebert® EXM in a split bypass (single source dual-input) configuration. In this
configuration, the static bypass and the maintenance bypass lines are supplied by the same source using
separate feeds. Both feeds must be protected externally with properly sized protective devices.
Wire Liebert EXM Input as Single Source Dual-Input
To wire the Liebert EXM as a single source dual-input UPS, remove factory-installed links between rectifier and
bypass input busbar (see Figure 9).

3.2.4 Cabling Guidelines
The following are guidelines only and are superseded by local regulations and codes of practice where
applicable. Use wiring rated at 75°C or greater.
1. The ground conductor should be sized according to such factors as the fault rating, cable lengths and type of protection.
The ground cable connecting the UPS to the main ground system must follow the most direct route possible. Control
wiring and power wiring must be run in separate conduit. Output and input cables must be run in separate conduit.
2. Consider using paralleled smaller cables for heavy currents—this can ease installation.
3. Refer to SL-25656, the battery cabinet user manual, which shipped with the battery cabinet and is available at Vertiv’s™
Web site (www.vertiv.com), for guidelines and instructions when sizing battery cables.
4. In most installations, the load equipment is connected to a distribution network of individually protected busbars fed by
the UPS output, rather than connected directly to the UPS itself. When this is the case, the UPS output cables can be rated
to suit the individual distribution network demands rather than being fully load-rated.
NOTE
If more load is added to the distribution panel, the unit’s cabling must be resized.
5. Do not form coils when laying power cables; this will help avoid increasing formation of electromagnetic interference.
3.2.5 Cable Connections
The rectifier input, bypass, output and battery are easily accessible from the front of the unit for installation. All
require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the front of the Liebert® EXM, as shown in
Figure 9. These busbars are accessible when the I/O panel is removed.
NOTICE
Risk of improper installation. Can cause equipment damage.
When wiring a single-input only system, connect only the power wiring to the input busbars.

Two fuse blocks provide power for the back-feed breakers (standard) and the Alber BDSUi (optional). The
accessory fuse holders are shown in Figure 25 and 27.
The back-feed breaker fuse block provides 480V nominal provided from the UPS output (L-L) and the fuse is
rated for 1 amps. Figure 13 shows the back-feed breaker wiring, located on the bypass static switch assembly.
The Liebert® EXM does not include internal back-feed protection. A shunt trip coil of 480V must be installed in
the bypass input breaker and rectifier input breaker if the system does not include a Liebert® Bypass Cabinet.
This is a safety feature and will prevent the UPS inverter from back-feeding the input sources.
The Alber BDSUi fuse block provides 480V nominal from the UPS output (L-L) and the fuse is rated at 8A. The
Alber BDSUi power wiring is shown in SL-25656, the Liebert® EXM Battery Cabinet manual.
The recommended wire for the connection from the EXM UPS to TB2 is as follows:
• MTW/TEW UL1015/UL1230
• 16 AWG, 600V, 105C, White/Black Twisted

3.2.7 Safety Ground
The safety ground busbar is below the output busbars as shown in Figure 14. The safety ground cable must be
connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each cabinet in the system. This ground busbar is then
connected to the ground electrode conductor (GEC).
All cabinets and cable conduit should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock and arc flash. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Failure to follow proper grounding procedures can result in electric shock hazard to personnel or the risk
of fire, should a ground fault occur.

3.2.8 Protective Devices
For safety, it is necessary to install circuit breakers in the input AC supply external to the UPS system. Given that
every installation has its own characteristics, this section provides guidelines for qualified installation engineers
with knowledge of operating practices, regulatory standards and the equipment to be installed.
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 7.3 - UPS Electrical Characteristics and
Table 22 for overload capacity.
Overcurrent protection for the battery circuit must be provided by the customer when using an external battery cabinet not
manufactured by Vertiv™.
• Dual Input Single Source
When wiring the UPS with dual inputs but with a single input source, the Rectifier input and the Bypass input must be
protected separately. Size the breakers according to the input currents shown in Table 15.
NOTE
For single or dual input, a 480V shunt trip coil(s) is required when a breaker is supplied by the customer. See
Figures 8 for details.
Fuses
The Liebert® EXM’s main input and bypass input busbars are equipped with fuses (six locations; see Figure 25). The type is
Bussman, rated 450A for 50-200kVA units (170M4463 for main input and 170M4465 for bypass input) and rated 550A for
250kVA units.

3.4 Dry Contacts

The UPS provides input dry contacts and output dry contacts on the Auxiliary Terminal Block (Dry Contact
Terminal Block).
3.4.1 Input Dry Contacts
External input dry contacts are connected via the Dry Contact Terminal Block. Dry contacts are available for
environment detection, battery ground fault detection, etc.
The UPS accepts external signal from zero-voltage (dry) contacts connected through external dry contact
terminals produced, and these terminals are on the static bypass assembly. Through software programming,
these signals become active when these contacts connect to +12V to ground (in the most left side). The cables
connected to the monitor board must be separated from power cables. Moreover, these cables should be
double-insulated with a typical cross-section of 0.5 to 1mm2 for a maximum connection length between 82 and
165ft. (25-50m). The Dry Contact Terminal Block has several input dry contacts.

3.4.5 EPO Input—Optional
NOTICE
Risk of exceeding internal voltage limits. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not apply more than 12V to the Emergency Power Off (EPO) input. Exceeding 12V on this input can damage the
Liebert® EXM’s internal circuitry and control boards. Exceeding 12V will also put the Liebert® EXM in an EPO state, and the
unit will not reset, making it non-functional.
The UPS has an Emergency Power Off (EPO) function operated by a button on the control panel or by a remote
contact provided by the user. The EPO button is under a hinged, clear plastic shield.
The J2 connector, shown in Figure 21, is the remote EPO input interface. The EPO has NO/NC contacts that
become active when shorting terminals J2: 3 and 4 or open terminal connection J2:2 and 1.
If an external Emergency Stop capability is required, it is connected at terminals J2: 1 and 2 and at J2: 3 and 4 on
the monitor board. It also is connected to the Normally Open or Normally Closed remote stop switch between
these two terminals using shielded cable (see Figure 21 and Table 7). If this function is not used, terminals J2:3
and 4 must be opened and J2:1 and 2 must be closed.

The Liebert® EXM operates in the modes shown in 6.4 - Liebert® EXM Operating Modes. This section describes
various kinds of operating procedures under each operating mode, including transfer between operating modes,
UPS setting and procedures for turning on/off inverter. As shown in SL-25656, the Liebert® EXM Battery Cabinet
manual, the AC utility source is supplied through the input breaker, and the rectifier converts the alternating
current into DC power. The inverter converts the AC power from the utility—or DC power from an optional
External Battery Cabinet—into AC power for the load. The batteries power the load through the inverter in the
event of a power failure. The utility source can also power the load through the static bypass. If maintenance or
repair of the UPS is necessary, the load can be switched without interruption in service using the optional
Liebert® MBC.
6.1 Touchscreen Control Panel

The Liebert® EXM’s Touchscreen Control Panel is active whenever the UPS has input power. The touchscreen
LCD on the front of the UPS permits:
• Logging in to the system
• Customizing the user interface
• Checking the status of the UPS and its external batteries, including all measured parameters, events and alarms
• Determining when users logged in and out
• Silencing alarms
• Turning the UPS On and Off
• Resetting faults
• Enabling Energy Saving Mode
Scan the QR code at right to obtain a copy of the Touchscreen Control Panel manual.

6.2 Access Level Log-In
The Touchscreen Control Panel provides security by limiting the authority to change how the UPS operates.
Each of the four access levels offers different authority:
• Observer—Viewing permission only, can choose graphic or text display, view logs and silence alarms; no PIN required

site, www.vertiv.com for details.
6.4 Liebert® EXM Operating Modes
The UPS is designed to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer system in the following
modes:
• Normal Mode
• Battery Mode
• Auto-Restart Mode
• ECO Mode
• Bypass Mode
• Module Redundancy Mode
• Frequency Converter Mode
• Power Conditioner Mode
• Maintenance Mode (Manual Bypass)
• Sleep Mode
• Paralleling Mode
• Output Voltage Adjustment
• Generator Mode
NOTE
1. The user controls and indicators referred to in these procedures are detailed in the UPS control panel manual,
SL-26200, available at Vertiv’s™ Web site, www.vertiv.com
2. The audible alarm may sound at various points during these procedures. It can be canceled at any time by pressing the
menu button (under any login), pressing Alarms and then pressing Alarms.
NOTE
This unit refers to some modes and conditions that are set or adjusted using proprietary service software. To
take advantage of all the available features for the Liebert® EXM, the unit must be commissioned by a
Vertiv™-authorized engineer.

Normal Mode
Operating in normal mode, the Liebert® EXM’s rectifier derives power from a utility AC source and supplies
regulated DC power to the inverter, which regenerates precise AC power to supply the connected equipment.
The rectifier also uses the utility source power to charge the batteries.
Module Redundancy Mode
When the Liebert® EXM is in module redundancy mode, the load percentage is calculated using the available
power module capacity or nameplate rating capacity, whichever capacity is lower.
Module redundancy mode can be set at the factory or by the user. A maximum of one module can be set for
redundancy. Availability of this feature depends on module capacity of the frame. Refer to the UPS control
manual, SL-26200, for instructions on setting this feature. The manual is available at Vertiv’s™ Web site,
www.vertiv.com
Example 1
• Four 50kVA power modules installed
• Nameplate rating capacity = 150 kVA
• One power module in redundant mode
• Configured capacity = 150kVA
• Load = 150kVA
Load percentage will be calculated based on nameplate rating capacity = 150kVA capacity. In the event of a single power
module fault, the system will signal a Loss of Redundancy Alarm and a Power Hardware Mismatch and continue in double-
conversion mode and provide up to 150kVA capacity.
Example 2
• Nameplate rating capacity = 200kVA
• Load = 150kVA
Load percentage will be calculated based on available power module capacity = 200kVA capacity. In the event of a single
power module fault, the system will signal a Loss of Redundancy Alarm and a Power Hardware Mismatch Alarm. The system
will continue in double-conversion mode and provide up to 150kVa capacity.
Example 3
• Nameplate rating capacity = 200kVA
• Load = 175kVA
Load percentage will be calculated based on available power module capacity = 200 kVA capacity. The system will signal a
Loss of Redundancy Alarm. The system will continue in double-conversion mode and provide up to 200kVA capacity.
Frequency Converter Mode
When the the Liebert EXM to is set to Frequency Converter Mode permits configuring the unit for 50Hz output,
bypass is disabled and battery is optional to support load. This mode can only be enabled at the factory or by
Vertiv Services.
Power Conditioner Mode
When EXM is set to Power Conditioner Mode, the battery is disabled in this mode. This mode can only be
enabled at the factory or by Vertiv Services.

Battery Mode—Requires Optional External Battery Cabinet
When utility AC power fails, the Liebert® EXM protects the critical load by instantaneously channeling battery
power from optional External Battery Cabinets to the inverter, which continues supporting the critical load
without interruption. When utility power returns and is within acceptable limits, the Liebert® EXM automatically
shifts back to Normal mode, with the rectifier powering the critical load.
Auto-Restart Mode
The battery may become exhausted following an extended AC utility failure. The inverter shuts down when the
battery reaches the End of Discharge voltage (EOD). The UPS may be programmed to “Auto Recovery after
EOD” after a delay time if the AC utility recovers. This mode and any delay time may be programmed by the
commissioning engineer.
Bypass Mode
When the Liebert® EXM is in bypass mode, the load is directly supported by utility power and is without battery
backup protection.
The Liebert® EXM’s static transfer switch will shift the load from the inverter to bypass mode without interruption in
AC power if the inverter is synchronous with the bypass and any of the following occurs:
• inverter fails
• inverter overload capacity is exceeded
• inverter is manually turned off by user
NOTE
If the inverter is asynchronous with the bypass, the static switch will transfer the load from the inverter to the
bypass WITH interruption in AC power to the critical load. This interruption will be less than 13.33ms in 60Hz.
This interruption time may be altered by modifying the Output transfer interrupt time setting.
ECO Mode (Single-Module UPS System Only)
When ECO mode is selected, the Liebert® EXM switches inverter power from the UPS input to the bypass input
to save energy by improving UPS efficiency. In this mode, the bypass is the preferred source. If the bypass
voltage or frequency becomes outside preset limits, the UPS load is transferred back to the inverter.
Maintenance Mode
For maintenance or repair, the Liebert® EXM may be operated in maintenance mode. To place the Liebert® EXM in
maintenance mode, follow the instructions in 6.6 - Switching the UPS from Normal Operation to Maintenance
Bypass.
WARNING
Risk of arc flash and electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death
The UPS input and output must be protected with external overcurrent protection devices. In
maintenance mode, the input and output busbars remain energized and present an electric shock hazard.
AVERTISSEMENT

Output Voltage Adjustment
This feature allows a Liebert® Customer Engineer to adjust the Liebert® EXM’s output voltage over a range of -5%
to +5% of nominal. The output voltage adjustment can be used to compensate for any drop in line voltage that
may occur when the UPS is a significant distance from the protected load. In addition, it can be used to optimize
the UPS output voltage for loads that operate more efficiently at a voltage different from the nominal Liebert®
EXM output voltage.
Generator Mode
The Liebert® EXM UPS can be set up for operation in Generator Mode by a Vertiv™ Services engineer. The setup
requires connecting J26 Pin 2 to Pin 4. The battery charger is disabled in Generator Mode.

6.5 UPS Startup
The Liebert® EXM must be fully installed and commissioned before startup, and external power isolators must be
closed. Once those general conditions are met, the UPS may be started.

6.12 Emergency Shutdown With EPO

This circuit has been designed to switch Off the UPS in emergency conditions (e.g., fire, flood, etc.). The system
will turn Off the rectifier, inverter and stop powering the load immediately (including the inverter and bypass),
and the battery stops charging or discharging.
If the input utility is present, the UPS’s controls will remain active; however, the output will be turned Off. To
remove all power from the UPS, the external feeder breaker should be opened.
6.13 Auto Restart
When the main and bypass sources fail, the UPS draws power from the battery system to supply the load until
the batteries are depleted. The UPS will shut down when the battery system reaches its end of discharge (EOD)
threshold.
The UPS will automatically restart and enable output power:
• after utility power is restored
• if Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling is enabled in the UPS configuration (set at the factory or by Vertiv™ Services)
• after the Auto Recovery after EOD Delay Time expires (the default delay is 10 minutes)
During the auto recovery delay, the Liebert® EXM will be charging its batteries to provide a safety margin for equipment
shutdown if input power fails again.
If the Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling feature is disabled, the system must be restarted manually.

6.14 Reset After Shutdown for Emergency Stop or Other Conditions
Once all appropriate measures have been taken to correct the problem indicated by the alarm message
appearing on the Operator Control Panel, carry out this procedure to restore the UPS to regular operation
following an EPO action or for the following reasons: Inverter Overtemperature, Cut-Off Overload, Battery
Overvoltage, excessive switching (BYP: XFER COUNT BLOCK), etc.
When the user confirms that the fault is cleared:
3. Touch the yellow Reset button to clear the emergency power Off state.
4. Press the Inverter On button on the right side of the Operator Control Panel for longer than 2 seconds (after the rectifier

Table 21 for battery circuit details.
6.16 Operation
WARNING
The Liebert® EXM contains high voltages internally. Components that can only be accessed by opening
the protective cover with tools cannot be serviced or replaced by the user.
Only properly trained and qualified service personnel are authorized to remove the protective covers.

The Liebert® EXM operates in the modes shown in Table 11. This section describes various kinds of operating
procedures under each operating mode, including transfer between operating modes, UPS setting and
procedures for turning on/off inverter.

protected against abnormal input utility power.
As shown in SL-25656, the Liebert® EXM Battery Cabinet manual, the AC utility source is supplied through the
input breaker, and the rectifier converts the alternating current into DC power. The inverter converts the AC
power from the utility—or DC power from an optional External Battery Cabinet—into AC power for the load. The
batteries power the load through the inverter in the event of a power failure. The utility source can also power
the load through the static bypass.
If maintenance or repair of the UPS is necessary, the load can be switched without interruption in service using
the optional Liebert® MBC.
6.17 Static Bypass Switch

The circuit block labeled “Static Bypass” contains an electronically controlled switching circuit that enables the
critical load to be connected to either the inverter output or to a bypass power source via the static bypass line.
During normal system operation, the load is connected to the inverter and the inverter contactor is closed; but in
the event of a UPS overload or inverter failure, the load is automatically transferred to the static bypass line.
To provide a clean (no-break) load transfer between the inverter output and static bypass line, the static switch
activates, connecting the load to bypass. To achieve this, the inverter output and bypass supply must be fully
synchronized during normal operating conditions. This is achieved through the inverter control electronics,
which make the inverter frequency track that of the static bypass supply, provided that the bypass remains
within an acceptable frequency window.
NOTE
When the UPS is operating in static bypass mode or on maintenance bypass, the connected equipment is not
protected from power failures or surges and sags.

8.0 MAINTENANCE
8.1 Safety Precautions
Observe the safety precautions in Important Safety Instructions on page 1.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should perform maintenance on the UPS system.
Observe all of the warnings and cautions below before performing any maintenance on the UPS system and
associated equipment. Also observe the manufacturer’s safety precautions pertaining to the battery, along with
the battery safety precautions in this document.
WARNING
Only Vertiv™ or Vertiv™-trained service personnel should work on this equipment. Both AC and DC high
voltages are present in lethal amounts within this equipment. Extreme care should be taken when
working around UPS equipment.
Always identify the source of connecting wiring prior to disconnecting. Mark any disconnected wires, so
they can be properly reconnected.
Do not substitute parts except as authorized by Vertiv™.
Maintain the UPS cabinets free of foreign materials such as solder, wire cuttings, etc.
Call Vertiv™ Services if you are not sure of the procedures to follow or if you are not familiar with the
design or operation of the equipment.
AVERTISSEMENT
même la mort.
L’entretien et la réparation de cet équipement doivent être confiés exclusivement à un personnel qualifié
de Vertiv™ ou formé par Vertiv™. Des hautes tensions c.a. et c.c. mortelles sont présentes dans cet
équipement. Faites preuve d’une grande prudence lorsque vous travaillez à proximité d’un système ASC.
Identifiez toujours la source d’un câble de raccordement avant de le débrancher. Identifiez les câbles
déconnectés afin de pouvoir les reconnecter correctement.
Ne remplacez aucun composant sans l’autorisation expresse de Vertiv™.
Assurez-vous que les armoires d’ASC sont exemptes de matériaux étrangers tels que des résidus de
soudure, des bouts de câble, etc.
Communiquez avec Vertiv™ Services si vous doutez de la procédure à suivre ou si la conception ou le
fonctionnement de l’équipement ne vous sont pas familiers.

WARNING
Extreme caution is required when performing maintenance.
Be constantly aware that the UPS system contains high DC as well as AC voltages. With input power Off
and the optional battery cabinet disconnected, high voltage at filter capacitors and power circuits should
be discharged within 30 seconds. However, if a power circuit failure has occurred, you should assume that
high voltage still exists after shutdown. Check with a voltmeter before making contact.
AC voltage will remain on the bypass and output contactors and the static bypass switch, unless the
associated external circuit breakers are opened.
Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters before making contact.
When the UPS system is under power, both the operator and any test equipment must be isolated from
direct contact with earth ground and the UPS chassis frame by using rubber mats.
Some components within the cabinets are not connected to chassis ground.
Any contact between floating circuits and the chassis is a lethal shock hazard. Use differential
oscilloscopes when measuring a floating circuit. The differential input should have at least 800vrms
common mode input rating and a common mode rejection ratio of at least 80 dB.
Exercise caution that the test instrument exterior does not make contact either physically or electrically
with earth ground.
In case of fire involving electrical equipment, use only carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, or others
approved for use in electrical fire fighting.
AVERTISSEMENT
même la mort.
Les opérations d’entretien requièrent une extrême prudence.
Soyez toujours conscient du fait que le système ASC contient des tensions c.c. et c.a. élevées. Une fois
l’alimentation d’entrée et du boîtier facultatif de batteries coupées, la haute tension aux condensateurs de
filtrage et aux circuits d’alimentation devrait se dissiper en moins de 30 secondes. En cas de défaillance
d’un circuit d’alimentation, toutefois, il importe de présumer qu’une tension élevée est présente même
après l’arrêt. Vérifiez toujours les tensions avec un voltmètre avant d’établir des contacts.
Les contacteurs de dérivation et de sortie, de même que le commutateur statique de dérivation,
continueront d’afficher une tension c.a. à moins que les disjoncteurs externes associés ne soient ouverts.
Vérifiez les tensions avec des voltmètres c.a. et c.c. avant d’établir tout contact.
Lorsque le système ASC est sous tension, les responsables de l’entretien et l’équipement d’essai doivent
reposer sur des tapis de caoutchouc pour prévenir tout contact direct avec le sol et avec le châssis du
système lors des interventions.
Certains composants à l’intérieur des armoires ne sont pas connectés à la masse du châssis.
Tout contact entre les circuits flottants et le châssis présente un risque de décharge mortelle. Utilisez des
oscilloscopes différentiels lors des mesures d’un circuit flottant. L’entrée différentielle devrait être d’au
moins 800 Vrms en mode commun et avoir un taux de réjection de mode commun d’au moins 80 dB.
Il importe de veiller à ce que l’extérieur des équipements d’essai n’entre pas en contact physique ou
électrique avec le sol.
En cas d’incendie associé à du matériel électrique, n’utilisez que des extincteurs à dioxyde de carbone ou
homologués pour la lutte contre les incendies d’origine électrique.

8.2 Limited Life Components
The Liebert EXM UPS has a design life well in excess of 10 years. Well-maintained units can continue to provide
economic benefits for 20 years or more. Long-life components are used in the UPS wherever practical and cost
effective. However, due to the currently available component material, manufacturing technology limitations and
the general function and use of the component, a few components in your Liebert UPS will have a shorter life
cycle and require replacement in less than 10 years.
The following components utilized in your UPS system have a limited life cycle and are specifically exempt from
warranty. To prevent a wear-out failure of one of these components affecting your critical load operations, Vertiv
recommends these components be periodically inspected and replaced before the expected expiration of their
life cycle. The expected life of each component listed below is simply an estimate and is not a guarantee.
Individual users may have site-specific requirements, maintenance and other environmental conditions that
affect the length of the component’s useful life cycle. .
Table 28 Component service life
Component Expected Life Replace in:
Air filters 5 years Check four times per year
Power Modules & Static Bypass Assembly 20 years 18 years
Frame Fans 10 years 8 years
NOTE
Component Expected Life requires ambient temperature conditions <25° C. If temperature conditions are
higher, expected life will be shorter.
In most cases, replacement components must exactly match the original component specifications. These
replacement components are not readily available from third-party component distributors. For assistance with
your specific component specifications, replacement component selection and sourcing, call 1-800-LIEBERT. For
customers using Vertiv Services’ preventive maintenance services, periodic inspection of these components is
part of this service, as well as recommending component replacement intervals to customers to avoid
unanticipated interruptions in critical load operations.
8.3 Routine Maintenance

Become thoroughly familiar with the equipment, but at no time go beyond the specific procedures in this manual
while performing maintenance or correcting a malfunction. If you have any doubt as to what must be done, call
Vertiv™ Services at 800-543-2378 for further instructions. The UPS is designed for unattended operation, but
does require some common sense maintenance.
• Keep good records—Troubleshooting is easier if you maintain historical service records.
• Keep the UPS free of dust and any moisture.
• Keep the UPS cool:
• Battery systems must be kept in the range of 72-77°F (22-25°C) in order to meet design specifications for capacity and
longevity.
• The UPS will reliably meet all performance specifications at temperatures up to 104°F (40°C), and can be slightly
derated for operation at even higher temperatures. However, performance and longevity will be optimized when the
UPS is operated at the same temperature as the batteries.
• Keep connections tight.
• Tighten all connections at installation and at least annually thereafter. (See 8.3.3 - Torque Requirements).

8.3.1 Record Log
Set up a maintenance log to record scheduled checks and any abnormal conditions.
The log should have space for all metered data including phase readings, alarm messages, UPS mode of
operation, air filter replacement date and observation notes. A second log should be maintained for the battery
module as directed by the battery manufacturer.
Vertiv™ recommends a periodic walk-through inspection of the UPS and battery rooms to check for visible and
audible indications of problems. Log the inspection, metered parameter indications and any discrepancies.
8.3.2 Air Filters
The air filters must be inspected and serviced on a regular schedule. The period between inspections will
depend upon environmental conditions. Under normal conditions, the air filters will require cleaning or
replacement approximately every two months.
All Liebert® EXM models have replaceable filter elements behind the grille in the front of the unit. This element
can be changed with the UPS operating by opening the outer door. The Liebert® EXM’s air filters are washable
and reusable. One set of air filters is shipped with each Liebert® EXM.
Abnormal or dusty conditions will require more frequent cleaning and replacement of air filters. Inspect
installations in new buildings more often, then extend the inspection period as experience dictates.
Replacing Air Filters
Installing the two air filter sizes in a Liebert® EXM requires only a Phillips screwdriver. Each filter is held in place
by a bracket on either side of each filter. Refer to 8.3.2 - Air Filters for details about filter maintenance.
To replace a filter:
1. Open the UPS front door and locate the filters on the back side of the front door (see Figure 36).
2. Remove one bracket and loosen the screw on the second bracket. The second bracket need not be removed.
3. Remove the dust filter to be replaced.
4. Insert the clean filter.
5. Reinstall the bracket, tightening the screw securely.
6. Tighten the screw on the second bracket.

8.4 Detecting Trouble

It is important that the operator check the instrument readings if abnormal equipment performance is
suspected. Any metered value that differs appreciably from normal could mean an impending malfunction, and
should be investigated.

Items to check on the various UPS display screens include:
1. Output voltage of all phases should be within 2% of normal voltage. Output currents on each phase should not normally
differ by more than 20%. If a greater difference is noted, the load is unbalanced and corrective action should be taken to
redistribute the load, if possible.
2. If the UPS has not operated on battery power during the last 10 hours, the batteries should require little charging current.
Battery mimic should indicate normal DC voltage with relatively little battery charge current.
3. Input current on each phase should be within 10% of the average input current. Alarm messages indicate malfunction or
impending malfunction. A daily check of the Operator Control Panel will help to provide an early detection of problems.
Refer to Appendix B - UPS Status Messages to interpret alarm messages.
4. Tracing a problem to a particular section is facilitated by alarm messages and the metered parameter indications. These
are stored in the Status Reports and can be displayed at the Operator Control Panel or at an optional terminal.
NOTE
If the UPS system has a blown fuse, the cause should be determined before you replace the fuse. Contact Vertiv™
Services.
8.5 Reporting a Problem

If a problem occurs within the UPS, review all alarm messages along with other pertinent data. This information
should be given to the Vertiv™ Services dispatcher. Call 800-543-2378 to report a problem or to request
assistance.
8.6 Corrective Actions

Recommended corrective actions for each alarm message on the Operator Control Panel and the Remote Alarm
Status Panel may be found in Appendix B - UPS Status Messages.
8.7 Recommended Test Equipment

Table 31 lists recommended test equipment and tools required to maintain, troubleshoot and repair the UPS
module. Instruments of equivalent range and accuracy may be substituted. All instruments should be calibrated
and be within the current calibration cycle. Calibration data for the instruments should be maintained in
equipment-history files and the instruments labeled for audit and verification.
