Solutions That Meet

All Your Needs

THE LM SERIES:

THE MOST ADVANCED, COST-EFFECTIVE PRODUCT LINE IN THE INDUSTRY

The LM is a surge protective device (SPD) that offers continuous protection from damaging transients and electrical line noise. The LM utilizes patented circuitry to monitor the status of all protection modes, including neutral to ground. Should protection be unavailable in any mode, the green LED will be extinguished, and the red LED will be illuminated. In addition, high isolation form C dry contacts provide for remote monitoring of suppression system failure, under voltage, and phase and power loss. LM patented suppression integrity monitoring indicates failure for both shorted or opened suppression components.

The LM Series can be a facility-wide product family and may be installed from service entrances to distribution panels to branch panels. Commercial buildings Institutional facilities Industrial plants Any facility that has an environment with electronics-based equipment

STANDARD FEATURES
Unit Status Indicators The unit has an integral status circuit that monitors the operational status of all modes of protection, including Line to Neutral, Line to Ground, and Neutral to Ground. In the unlikely event that protection is reduced, the green LED will go out and the red LED will be lit. LED indication shall be provided internal and external to the product. Enclosure The unit is housed in a heavy duty, steel, NEMA 12 dust-tight, drip-tight enclosure. Undervoltage Detection LED will indicate an undervoltage at 70% of nominal. Warranty Phase and Power Loss Monitoring LED will indicate a loss of any phase or loss of power. Noise Attentuation The filter provides insertion loss with a maximum of 60 dB from 100 kHz to 100 MHz per 50 Ohm Insertion Loss Methodology from MIL Std. 220A. Overcurrent Protection All components are individually fused and unit is UL rated for 200k AIC for safe operation. Life Cycle Testing The system is life cycle tested to survive multiple 10kA, 20KV, IEEE C62.41 Category C3 transients with less than 5% degradation of clamping voltage. The minimum number of surges the unit shall be able to protect against is 8,000 per phase. Form C Dry Contacts Two sets of electronically isolated form C dry contacts are provided, (one normally open and normally closed for remote monitoring). A full five-year parts warranty. Audible Alarm The system is equipped with an audible alarm activated when summary alarm contacts are activated. An ON/OFF switch is provided to silence the alarm, and an alarm push-to-test switch to test the alarm function. A visible LED confirms whether alarm is on or disabled. Both switches and audible alarm will be located on the panel's front cover. Agency Listing The specified unit is UL 1449 (Second Edition) Listed, UL 1283 Listed, and CUL Listed. Control Concepts/Liebert is also company certified ISO 9001 for manufacturing, design, and service.

OPTIONAL FEATURES
Integral Fused Disconnect A 200k AIC integral fused disconnect switch located in line with the system enclosure with an external manual operator. Transient Counter The system can be equipped with a transient counter which totals transient surges that deviate from the sine wave envelop by more than 125 volts. The counter is located on the unit's front cover and features a six digit LCD, lithium batteries (with 10-year life), and remotely located reset switches. Test Point/Kit The unit can include a test point and diagnostic test kit option. The test kit (TS-X) uses a microprocessor monitor and controlled pulse generator to induce a high voltage transient, which drives the surge protective device into clamping. This test kit allows the end user to test and monitor in every mode (L-N, N-G, L-G). Remote Monitor Panel A self contained, UL Listed monitoring panel. Input power to the monitoring panel is equipped with a 6-foot power cord with a 3 NEMA 5-15 plug. The monitor has an audible alarm, red and green LEDs silence switch, and a test switch.

How To Specify The Appropriate Model:

All LM model numbers begin with a LM prefix. Use Chart A to build your LM starting with the Surge Rating column. Moving left to right, choose the correct configurations from each column for your application. Your completed model number should look similar to the example below or LM250120YARCE. Refer to Chart B for LM Series dimensional data.

What is Dirty Power?

Utilities have generated and distributed electrical power the same way for decades. Unfortunately, this unconditioned electrical power can provide abnormalities in the electricity that runs in your facility. This is commonly referred to as "dirty power." But until the advent of sensitive electronic equipment, "clean power" was never an issue.
In today's world, almost every business depends on relatively fragile micro-electronics to run everything from computer networks to manufacturing lines. Which means that power disturbances can disrupt or cripple equipment, causing the loss of data, productivity, and money. In fact, downtime and damage caused by dirty power cost North American companies an estimated $26 billion a year. Today's industries are looking for cost-effective ways to intercept transients, provide clean power in their facilities, and safeguard their businesses from the astronomical, and unnecessary, cost of dirty power. That's why Liebert designed the LM Series. The causes of dirty power are as varied as the names used to describe it -- dirty power, electronic rust, surge, spike, transient, fluctuation, interruption or noise. Fortunately, abnormalities typically fall into one of two categories -- external or internal. Why? Many utility systems are aging and few power plants have been built over the last decade. With increased demand for power, their supply margins are dipping dangerously low. The farther away from the source of power, the greater the risk of power quality problems.

Causes Inside Your Facility

According to some studies, 3/4 of all power disturbances are caused by equipment inside your building. If your facility is more then a decade old, chances are the wiring was not designed to support the intensive use of electronic equipment. In industrial facilities, these problems are even more complex. In fact, any device that runs in cycles can create a drain or a surge when it switches on or off. The more power the equipment uses, the bigger the affect. Even something as small as a copier or a laser printer can cause problems in sensitive equipment that share the same line.

Hidden Problems Created By Dirty Power

Unexplained system disruptions. Errors and shutdowns of data transmission, or scrambled and unreadable data. Numerous, unexplained server shutdowns and re-boots. Component failure, often well ahead of projected life span.

The Complete Protection Experts

Of course, you can't control how power is distributed. But you can protect the equipment in your facility from power surges and transients by installing equipment such as surge suppressors and filters. The issues affecting each industry are varied. In addition to the LM Series we offer a complete array of power conditioning solutions to meet a wide range of applications, locations, and budgets.

Influencing the Industry Causes Outside Your Facility

Lightning, natural disasters and inclement weather can cause high-transient power line voltages that can adversely affect your power supply. Utility switching and faults on the utilitys distribution system can adversely affect the quality of your power before it even reaches your facility. Liebert has received the UL 1449 Second Edition rating for the LM Series. The fact that we're one of the first in the industry to receive this rating is proof that Liebert is leading the way with our engineering designs and over 30 years of experience.
