Chapter 1 Overview
This chapter provides a brief introduction to the features, appearance and components, design concept, parallel
system, operating mode, battery management and battery protection of the Liebert NXC 60kVA UPS (UPS for
short).
1.1 Features
The UPS is connected between a mains power source and a critical load (e.g. a computer) in order to provide a high
quality power supply for the latter. The UPS offers the following advantages:
Increased power quality
The UPS protects its output against variations in the input power supply by means of the internal voltage and
frequency controller.
Mains failure protection
If the input power fails, the UPS will switch to battery mode so that the power supply to the loads is not interrupted.
1.2 Design Concept
1.2.1 System Design
This section introduces the working principle of the single UPS module. The UPS is based on an AC-DC-AC
converter (as shown in Figure 1-1The first conversion stage (AC-DC) uses a three-phase, high frequency rectifier to
convert the three-phase main input (or rectifier input) voltage into the stable DC bus voltage.
Input Output
Static switch
Bypass input
Bypass input switch
Rectifier Inverter
Mains input UPS output
The UPS has its own battery charger and adopts advanced temperature compensation technology to effectively
prolong the battery service life. The inverter mainly uses high power IGBTs, together with advanced SVPWM control
technology, to reconvert the DC bus voltage to AC voltage.
When the mains input is normal, the rectifier and inverter work together to supply the loads and charge the battery.
When the mains input is abnormal, the rectifier stops working, and the battery supplies power to the loads through
the inverter. If the battery voltage falls to the end of discharge (EOD) voltage and the mains has not yet been
restored, the UPS will shut down (if the system uses split bypass configuration and the bypass is normal, the system
will transfer to bypass). The battery EOD voltage is preset. When the mains is abnormal, the battery guaranteed
normal UPS operation until the battery reaches the EOD voltage, at which point the UPS shuts down: this time is
called 'Backup Time'. The length of backup time depends on the battery capacity and the loads.
When the load is supplied by the bypass or maintenance bypass, the quality of the power supply is not guaranteed.
Battery BCB
Figure 1-2 UPS power supply switch configuration
1.2.5 Battery Circuit Breaker (BCB)
The external battery must be connected to the UPS via the BCB. The BCB box, which is available as an option, must
be installed close to the battery. The BCB is closed manually or electrically. The box includes an under-voltage trip
coil and, in the event of a battery under-voltage, the UPS control circuit sends a signal to this coil, which trips the
BCB. It also features a magnetic overload protection trip function.
1.3 Parallel System
Up to four UPS modules can be parallel-connected to form a parallel system thus increasing the capacity and
reliability of the system. The load is shared equally between the paralleled UPS modules.
In addition, two UPS modules or parallel systems can be used to create a dual bus system (LBS). The independent
outputs of each UPS module or parallel system are synchronized via the LBS cable, thus guaranteeing seamless load
transfer between the two systems.
1.3.1 Parallel System Features
1. In parallel systems the UPS hardware and software are exactly the same as for individual modules, and the parallel
configuration is achieved by means of software settings or via the control panel.
2. Parallel cables are connected in a ring, in order to guarantee system reliability and redundancy. The LBS cables
are connected between any two UPS modules in each bus. The intelligent parallel logic provides maximum flexibility,
for example, it permits the user to shut down, or start-up, the UPS modules in any order. Transfers between normal
mode and bypass mode of operation are seamless and self-recoverable, i.e., as soon as the overload is cleared, the
system reverts automatically to its original operating mode.
3. The user can view the total load applied to the parallel system on each individual UPS module LCD.
1.3.2 Parallel System Requirements
A group of paralleled modules behaves as if it were one large UPS with the advantage that it provides higher
reliability. In order to ensure that the load is shared evenly by all the modules, and that the system complies with the
applicable wiring regulations, the following requirements must be satisfied:
1. All UPS modules must be of the same rating and must be connected to the same bypass source.
2. The bypass and rectifier input sources must be connected to the same neutral line input terminal.
3. If any RCDs are installed they must be set-up appropriately and located upstream of the common neutral line
input terminal. Alternatively, such devices must monitor the protective earth current of the system. Refer to Warning:
high earth leakage current before Contents.

OVERVIEW
4. For parallel system consisting of two or more UPS modules, the bypass load sharing inductors (optional) should
be selected.
1.4 Operating Modes
The UPS operating modes are as follows:
Normal mode
Battery mode
Automatic restart mode
Bypass mode
Maintenance mode
ECO mode
Parallel redundancy mode (system expansion)
LBS system mode
Common battery string mode
Frequency converter mode
Normal mode
As can be seen in Figure 1-3, the mains is rectified by the UPS rectifier and then inverted by the inverter to supply
uninterrupted AC power to the loads. At the same time, the charger will charge the battery.
Rectifier Inverter Automatic inverter switch
Mains input UPS output
Rectifier input switch Output switch
Battery
Figure 1-4 Schematic diagram of battery mode
Note: The battery cold start function can be used to switch the UPS on directly in Battery mode (provided the battery is
charged) during a mains failure. Thus, the battery power supply can be used independently to improve the availability of
the UPS.
Automatic restart mode
The UPS is equipped with an automatic restart function. When the inverter shuts down due to a mains failure, and
the battery reaches the EOD voltage, when the mains is restored, the UPS will restart automatically after a certain
delay. This function, and the automatic restart type, can be set-up by Vertiv authorized service engineers.
During the automatic restart delay period, the UPS will charge the battery to protect the load against the risk of
power interruptions in the event of a new mains failure.
If the automatic restart function has not been set, the user can restart the UPS manually by pressing the FAULT
CLEAR key followed by the ON key.
Bypass mode
As can be seen in Figure 1-5, in the event of an inverter failure, an inverter overload or a manual inverter shutdown,
when the UPS is in normal operating mode the static switch will transfer the load from the inverter to the bypass
line, without interrupting the power supply to the loads. At this point, if the inverter and bypass are not
synchronized, the load power supply will be interrupted momentarily (< 20 ms).

Note
Do not mix batteries of different brands, types or ages in the same system. Common battery string mode is suitable for
parallel systems only, and is not compatible with LBS mode.
1. Do not remove the packaging without permission from an authorized service engineer.
2. The UPS should be installed by an authorized engineer in accordance with the information contained in this chapter.
Take special care when installing batteries. When connecting batteries, the voltage at the battery terminal reaches 320Vdc,
which is fatal to human beings.
1. Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect the eyes from being damaged by arcs.
2. Remove all the metal items, including rings, watches, etc.
3. Use tools with insulated handle.
4. Wear rubber gloves.
5. If the battery is damaged and/or electrolyte is leaking from it, it must be replaced. Place the battery into the container that
can withstand sulfuric acid and dispose of it in accordance with the local regulations.
6. If the electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, flush immediately with water.
2.2 Shipping
Ideally the UPS system should be shipped by rail or sea. If road transportation is unavoidable, choose roads that are
less bumpy in order to protect the equipment.
The UPS is heavy (see Table 11-3 for weight information), we recommended using mechanical equipment such as an
electric forklift when unloading and moving the equipment to the place closest to the installation site. If an electric
forklift is used, insert the forks below the bottom pallet (as shown in Figure 2-1) in order to prevent the equipment
from tipping over.
Stepladder Forklift
2.4 Unpacking
Unpack the UPS and battery packages under the guidance of an authorized service engineer. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the side panels and top cover.
Use a hammer or flat blade screwdriver to straighten the connection hooks used secure the side panels to the top
cover, as shown in Figure 2-2.

3. After moving the cabinet to the place where it is to be installed, raise the four adjustable feet, and use the casters
to move the cabinet to its final position.
To raise the adjustable feet, proceed as follows: as shown in Figure 2-5, first loosen the nut (factory installed ) by
unscrewing it downwards, then remove the foot fixing piece (do not throw this part away), and rotate the foot,
raising it so that the machine may be moved freely on its casters; repeat the same procedure for the other feet.
Nut
During battery storage, charge the battery periodically in accordance with the battery manufacturer's instructions. During the
charging process, connect the UPS to the mains temporarily and activate the battery by recharging it.
Caution
When the batteries are already mounted in the cabinet, ensure that each battery string has been secured before attempting
to move it and make every effort to keep movement distances to a minimum.
Ensure that the UPS weight does not exceed the capacity of the lifting equipment. For UPS weight information, refer
to Table 11-3.
The UPS can be moved using a forklift or other similar lifting equipment.
The casters may be used when moving the UPS over short distances.
2.7.2 Clearance
The UPS has no lateral grills; therefore there are no special clearance requirements on the two sides.
In addition to the provisions of the local regulations, in order to enable routine tightening of the power terminals
within the UPS, we recommended that the clearance at the rear of the UPS be sufficient to enable the free passage
of personnel. In any event, as stated above, in order to allow heat to dissipate properly, there must be a space of at
least 200 mm between the rear of the UPS and the wall.
2.7.3 Cable Access Mode
The UPS is suitable for both top and bottom cable access configurations.
For more information, refer to 3.1.10 Power Cable Connection Steps and 3.2.11 Signal Cable Connection Steps.
2.7.4 Final Positioning And Fixing
Once the UPS has been moved to its final position, use the four adjustable feet to secure it to the floor, as shown in
Figure 2-6. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the nuts by unscrewing them upwards.
2. Rotate the feet until they touch the floor.
3. Fit the foot fixing pieces that were put aside when removing the UPS from its pallet.
4. Align the foot fixing pieces with the pre-prepared installation holes, in with the dimensions indicated in Figure 2-7.
5. Rotate the nuts from top to bottom till they press firmly against the foot fixing pieces, and then use the M10
fixing bolts to secure the UPS to the floor.

2. The protective earth cable size shall be selected according to the AC power failure level, cable length and
protection type. The grounding wire connection must use the shortest possible connection path.
3. In the case of cables carrying large currents, it is possible to connect multiple cables with smaller current carrying
capacities in order to facilitate installation.
4. When selecting the battery cable size, refer to the current value indicated in Table 3-1, allowing a maximum
voltage drop of 4Vdc.
3.1.7 Power Cable Connection Terminals
The rectifier input, bypass input, output and battery power cables are connected to the corresponding terminals
shown in Figure 3-2.
3.1.8 Protective Earth
The protective earth cable must be connected securely to the PE input terminal (see Figure 3-2) using the fixing
bolt.
All the cabinets and cable troughs shall be grounded according to the local regulations. The grounding cables shall
be secured so as to prevent the tightening screws from being loosened when the grounding cables are pulled.
Warning
Failure to ground units correctly can cause EMI, electric shock or fire risk.
The rectifier input and bypass input must use the same neutral line.
1. The power cables should be routed through conduits or cable troughs to prevent damage due to mechanical stress and
reduce EMI into the surrounding environment.
2. When routing the cables inside the cabinets, they must be secured and fixed as illustrated in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4, in
order to prevent cable damage due to mechanical stress.

be power present at the UPS output
Chapter 6 Battery
This chapter provides introductory information about the battery, including battery safety, installation and
maintenance information, the battery protection function, as well as the optional BCB box installation procedure.
6.1 Introduction
The UPS battery string consists of a number of batteries connected in series and provides rated DC input voltage
for the UPS inverter. The required battery backup time (i.e. the length of time the battery can supply power to the
load in the event of a mains failure) depends on the ampere-hour capacity of the battery. Under certain conditions it
is necessary to connect several battery strings in parallel.
To facilitate the UPS installation, the battery is generally installed in a specially designed battery rack or in the
battery room.
When carrying out maintenance or repair work, the battery must be disconnected from the UPS. This may be done
using the battery circuit breaker of proper capacity, which must be located as close as possible to the battery
connecting terminal. Similarly, the length of the power and signal cables connected to the UPS must be kept as
short as possible.
When several strings of battery are connected in parallel in order to increase the battery backup time, each string
must be fitted with a dedicated disconnecting device, so that it is possible to carry out maintenance work on
individual strings without affecting the normal operation of the others.
6.2 Safety
Take special care when working with the batteries associated with the UPS. When all the blocks are connected
together, the battery string voltage can be up to 540Vdc; this is potentially lethal. Please follow the precautions for
working with high voltages.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to install and maintain the battery. To ensure safety, the external batteries must
be installed inside a lockable cabinet or in a purpose-designed, dedicated battery room, so that they are only
accessible to qualified service personnel.
Confirm that the battery switch has been disconnected before carrying out maintenance work on the batteries.
c) Batteries are very heavy. Please use the correct procedures when lifting and moving batteries, in order to prevent injuries and
avoid damaging the batteries. Severe damage to batteries may cause fire.
d) Do not subject the battery connecting terminal to any force, such as the pulling or twisting forces exerted by the cable,
otherwise, the internal connection of the battery may be damaged. Severe damage to the battery may cause fire.
e) The battery must be installed and stored in a clean, cool and dry environment. Do not install the battery in a sealed battery
chamber or a sealed room. The battery room ventilation shall at least meet the requirements of EN50272-2001. Otherwise, battery
bulging, fire or even injuries to personnel may result.
f) Do not install or use the battery close to equipment that generates heat when operating (e.g. transformers) or fire sources, and
NEVER place them into fire or attempt to dispose of them by burning. Failure to observe these precautions can result in battery
leakage, bulging, fire or explosions.
g) Never connect a conductor directly between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Remove rings, watches,
necklaces, bracelets and any other metal items before operating the battery, and ensure that tools (e.g., wrench) are protected
with insulating material. Failure to observe these precautions may cause the battery to catch fire and/or explode, and result in
injury to, or even death of personnel.
h) Do not attempt to dismantle, modify or demolish the battery as this may result in battery short circuits, leakages and injuries.
i) Clean the battery enclosure using a well-wrung wet cloth. To avoid any static or arcing, do not use dry cloths or dusters to clean
the battery. Do not use organic solvents (such as thinners, gasoline, volatile oil) to clean the battery as this may cause the battery
enclosure to crack, resulting in fire in the worst case.
j) The battery contains diluted sulfuric acid, which can cause blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes, and burns in contact
with the skin. In normal use, the diluted sulfuric acid is absorbed by the battery baffles and pole plates. However, if the battery is
damaged, the acid may leak from the enclosure. Therefore, personal protective equipment (e.g., protective glasses, rubber gloves
and apron) must be used when working with the battery.
k) The battery may be affected by short circuiting, electrolyte dry-up or positive pole erosion failure at the end of its life.
Continuing to use it under these conditions may result in thermal runaway, bulging or liquid leakage. Replace the battery before it
reaches this state.
l) Before connecting or disconnecting the battery connection cables, isolate the charging power.
m) Check if the battery has been earthed inadvertently. If so, remove the earth connection. Contact with any part of an earthed
battery may result in an electric shock.
1. The precautions that must be taken when installing, using and servicing the battery are described in the relevant battery
manual provided by the battery manufacturer. 2. The safety precautions described in this section include important factors
that must be taken into consideration when designing the installation.
3. The design results may vary depending on local conditions.
The higher the temperature, the shorter the battery service life. At low temperatures, the charge/discharge
performance of the battery will be significantly reduced.
The battery must be installed in a cool and dry environment with the humidity less than 90%, and be protected from
the heat source and direct sunshine.
The ambient temperature, ventilation, space, float/boost charge voltage and ripple current will affect the battery
temperature. Uneven temperature among the battery strings will cause uneven voltage distribution and compromise
battery performance. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a balanced temperature in the battery string, and
ensure that the temperature difference between batteries in different layers shall remains within 3°C.
Valve-regulated batteries are highly temperature-sensitive; therefore they should be used in the temperature range
15°C ~ 25°C. If the battery cabinet is installed near the UPS, the maximum design ambient temperature shall depend
on the batteries rather than the UPS. In other words, if valve-regulated batteries are used, the indoor ambient
temperature shall be 15°C ~ 25°C, and not the operating temperature range of the UPS units. Although the average
ambient temperature must remain below 25°C, the temperature may exceed this value for short periods.
6.5.2 Number Of Batteries
The number of batteries, EOD voltage, and float charging voltage under the 380V/400V/415V voltage system are
consistent, as shown in Table 6-2.

Note: The cable connected to BCB port X102 must be routed separately from the power cable. It uses dual-insulated
shielded cable (the CSA is generally 0.5mm2 ~ 1mm2 when the wiring distance is 25m ~ 50m length), and the two
ends of the shield must be connected to the enclosure securely. The separate safety earth must be connected
between the UPS and BCB box.
Caution
If the corresponding functions are not required, simply leave the corresponding ternimals unconnected.
Refer to Figure 6-5 for the connections between the battery, BCB and UPS.

1. Periodically check the battery terminal connection screws and ensure that they are firmly tightened. Tighten any loose
screws immediately.
2. Ensure that all safety devices are in place and function correctly, and that the battery management parameters have been
set-up correctly.
3. Measure and record the air temperature inside the battery room.
4. Check the battery terminals for signs damage or overheating, and that the battery enclosures and terminal shields are
intact.
7.1 General
The parallel system may consist of up to four UPS modules of the same power rating, connected in parallel without
the need for a centralized mains static bypass. The bypass static switches of each UPS share the load when the
system transfers to the mains bypass supply.
From a 'power' viewpoint, each module is internally identical to the 'single module' configuration. A parallel system
requires inter-module control signals to manage load sharing, synchronization and bypass switching. The control
signals are connected via the multi-way, ribbon parallel cables connected between the units in the system to form a
ring.
When two or more modules are connected in parallel, we recommend installing the inductor on the static bypass line.
This can be installed inside the UPS as an option.

7.2.3 Power Cable
The power cable wiring is similar to that of the UPS module. Refer to 3.1 Power Cable Wiring.
The power cables (including the bypass input cables and UPS output cables) of each UPS module should be of the same
length and specifications to facilitate load sharing.
1. The remote EPO switch must provide a dry contact signal, with normally open or normally closed contacts.
2. The open circuit voltage is 12Vdc, < 20mA.
3. The external EPO device should consist of an additional control system capable of disconnecting the UPS mains supply and
bypass input.

The following procedures must be performed one step at a time, and each step must be completed before moving
on to the next one.
7.3.1 Startup Procedures In Normal Mode
These procedures are used to switch the UPS on starting from the fully powered-down state, which means that
neither the UPS nor the maintenance bypass switch have supplied power to the load before. Make sure the UPS has
been completely installed and commissioned by the engineer, and that external power supply switch is open.
Warning
1. These procedures result in mains voltage being applied to the UPS output terminals.
2. If any load equipment is connected to the UPS output terminals, check with the user that it is safe to apply power. If the load
is not ready to receive power, disconnect the downstream load switch, and position a warning label on the load connection
point.
Use the following procedures to switch on the UPS from a fully powered down condition.
1. Confirm that all the external maintenance bypass switches are open. Open the front door of each UPS in turn and
ensure that the internal maintenance bypass switch Q3 is open and switch Q6 is closed on each unit, and that the
input cables and copper bars, and the parallel cables are connected securely.
Warning
To avoid being misinterpreted as fault conditions, all operations where it is necessary to open or close the maintenance bypass
switch must be concluded within three seconds.
Warning
If the UPS system consists of more than 2 parallel UPS modules, and the load capacity exceeds the single module capacity, do
not use the internal maintenance bypass switch.
This operation will transfer the load transfer from the protected UPS power supply output so that it is connected
directly to the AC bypass input line.
Caution: power supply interruption risk to load
Before carrying out this procedure, read the information on the LCD to make sure that the bypass supply is normal and that
the inverter is synchronized with the bypass supply, in order to avoid risking a short interruption in the power supply to the
load.
1. Press and hold the OFF key on each UPS module in turn for two seconds. The inverter indicators are extinguished
and the buzzer alarms are activated. The load transfers to the static bypass, and the inverters shut down so that the
UPS system is operating bypass mode.
Note
2. Close all the UPS external maintenance bypass switches, but do not close the UPS internal maintenance bypass
switches Q3.
3. At this point, the external maintenance bypass should be connected in parallel with the static switch on each
individual UPS.
4. At this point, the message 'Maint. sw. closed' appears on the LCD on each UPS.
5. Open the output switch Q5 and neutral line switch Q6 on each UPS in turn, so that the load power is supplied by
the maintenance bypass line.
Caution
When the system is in maintenance bypass, the load is not protected against abnormal mains supply conditions.
6. Pressing the EPO button on each UPS module de-energizes the corresponding rectifier, inverter, static switch and
battery, but does not affect the maintenance bypass, which continues to power the load normally.
Note
When the system is in maintenance bypass, the load is fed directly by the mains power instead of the pure AC power from the
inverter.
7. If the UPS has internal battery, use the special tool to open the battery compartment door, then disconnect the
three terminals 'BAT+', 'BAT-' and 'BAT N' (see Figure 5-3 for details). If the UPS has external battery, open the
corresponding external battery switch. All UPS modules should be disconnected from the batteries.
8. Open the rectifier input switch Q1 and bypass input switch Q2 on each UPS in turn.
At this point, all the internal UPS power supplies are disconnected and the LCD does not display any more.
Warning
1. If UPS maintenance is required, wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge completely.
2. Hazardous voltages are present at some points on the UPS circuits, even when the rectifier input switch, bypass input
switch and battery switch are open. Therefore, UPS maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel only .
Important
These procedures may only be carried out Vertiv service personnel or under their guidance.
Warning
Before carrying out the following operation, confirm that the system redundancy capacity is sufficient to avoid system
shutdown due to overload.
The following procedures apply when one UPS module must be isolated from the parallel system for repair due to
serious fault:
1. Press the EPO button on the UPS module to be isolated in order to de-energize the rectifier, inverter, static switch
and battery; this action will not affect the other UPS in the parallel system, which will continue to supply power to
the load normally.
2. If the UPS has an internal battery, use the special tool to open the battery compartment, then disconnect the
three terminals 'BAT+', 'BAT-' and 'BAT N' (see Figure 5-3 for details). If the UPS has external battery, open the
corresponding external battery switch.
3. Open the rectifier input switch Q1, bypass input switch Q2, output switch Q5 and neutral line switch Q6.
At this point, all the internal UPS power supplies are disconnected and the LCD does not display any more.
Warning
1. Position a label at the AC input distribution (normally located at a distance from the UPS) alerting personnel that
maintenance is being carried out on the UPS.
2. Wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge completely. At this point the UPS is completely shut down.
7.3.4 Procedures for Reintegrating an Isolated UPS Module into a Parallel System
Important
These procedures may only be carried out Vertiv service personnel or under their guidance.
The following procedures are used to reintegrate a UPS module that has been previously isolated from the parallel
system:
1. If the UPS is connected to an external battery, simply close the external battery distribution switch or connect the
three terminals 'BAT+', 'BAT-' and 'BAT N' (see Figure 5-3 for details). Then close the rectifier input switch Q1 and
neutral line switch Q6.
At this point, the system power is on, and the startup screen appears. Refer to 4.2.1 Start Screen.
2. Close the bypass input switch Q2.
Confirm that the LCD indicates that the bypass input supply is normal; if not, check whether the switch Q2 is closed.
At this point the rectifier starts up and the alarm indicator (red) is illuminated. About 30 seconds later, the alarm
indicator (red) starts flashing (if the UPS internal or external battery is not connected) or is extinguished (if the UPS
internal and/or external batteries are connected).
3. Close the output switch Q5, and press the ON key for two seconds.
The inverter starts up, and the inverter indicator (green) starts flashing. Once the inverter is running normally, the
UPS transfers from the bypass to inverter, and the inverter indicator (green) is illuminated (no longer flashing).
At this point, the UPS will be fully reintegrated into the parallel system, and start supplying power to the load.
7.3.5 Procedures for Shutting Down a UPS Completely in a Parallel System
To shut down and de-energize a UPS completely, proceed as follows. Upon completion of this procedure, all the UPS
power switches, isolating switches and circuit breakers must be open, so that the UPS is fully de-energized and no
longer supplies power to the load.
Caution
The following procedures will interrupt all power supplies to the load so that it switches off.
1. Pressing the EPO button on each shuts down the corresponding rectifier, inverter, static switch and battery
charger.
2. If the UPS has internal battery, use the special tool to open the battery compartment, then disconnect the three
terminals 'BAT+', 'BAT-' and 'BAT N' (see Figure 5-3 for details). If the UPS has external battery, disconnect the
corresponding external battery switch. All UPS modules should be disconnected from the batteries.
3. Open the rectifier input switch Q1 and bypass input switch Q2 on each UPS. At this point, all the internal UPS
power supplies are disconnected and the LCD does not display any more.
4. Open the output switch Q5 on each UPS.
Warning
1. Position a label at the AC input distribution (normally located at a distance from the UPS) alerting personnel that
maintenance is being carried out on the UPS.
2. Wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitors to discharge completely. At this point the UPS is completely shut down.
7.3.6 Procedures For Complete UPS Shutdown While Maintaining Power To Load
The following procedures can be used to shut down the UPS completely without interrupting the power supply to
the load. Refer to the procedures in para. 7.3.2 Maintenance Bypass Procedures.
