GND GND

Figure 1-3 Operating principle

1. The UPS is composed of mains input, I/O filter, rectifier/PFC, DC/DC charger, inverter, bypass, battery and UPS
output.
2. When the mains is normal, the rectifier will start, and the DC/DC charger will charge the battery strings. Before
turning on the UPS, the output voltage is the bypass voltage. After turning on the UPS, the electronic transfer switch
connects the inverter to the load, and the mains supplies DC power to the inverter through the rectifier/PFC circuit.
The inverter then inverts DC power to pure sine wave AC power and supplies AC power to the load through the
electronic transfer switch.
3. When the mains is abnormal, 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, and supplies AC power to the load through the electronic
transfer switch.
4. After the mains returns to normal state, the UPS will automatically switch to Normal mode from Battery mode, the
mains power supplies DC power to the inverter through the rectifier/PFC circuit, and then the electronic transfer
switch supplies DC power to the load.

1.5 UPS State And Operation Mode


The UPS state and operation modes include: Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode, ECO mode and Fault state.
For the description of indicators in this section, refer to Chapter 3 Operation And Display Panel for details.

1.5.1 Normal Mode

When the mains input is normal, the load is powered with voltage-stabilizing and frequency-stabilizing power supply
by the mains after processing of the rectifier and the inverter, and meanwhile, the operation mode that the charger
charges the battery is the Normal mode. In Normal mode, the inverter indicators are on (green).

1.5.2 Bypass Mode

If the overload is overtime, inverter or rectifier fails during the UPS operating in Normal mode, the UPS will switch to
Bypass mode, and the load is powered by the bypass source, which comes directly from the mains input; if the
rectifier is normal, the internal charger will charge the battery. In Bypass mode, the inverter indicators are off.

Note

In the event of the mains failure or mains voltage exceeds the specifications in Bypass mode, the UPS will shut down and stop the
output.

Liebert ITA 16kVA/20kVA User Manual


4 Chapter 1 Product Introduction

1.5.3 Battery Mode

Upon mains failure, rectifier overload or mains voltage exceeds the specifications, the rectifier and internal charger
will become inoperative, and the battery will supply power to the load through the inverter. The inverter indicators are
on and the buzzer alarms, which notifies you that the UPS is in Battery mode.

Note

1. The battery has been fully charged before delivery. However, transportation and storage will inevitably cause some charge loss.
Therefore, it is required to charge the battery for eight hours before putting the UPS into operation, so as to ensure the adequate
stand time for battery.
2. Battery cold start can also be used to start the UPS from the Battery mode (charged) upon mains failure. Therefore, the battery
power supply can be used independently for improving the system availability to some extent.

1.5.4 ECO Mode (For Single System 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 operation mode. For some power equipment
that insensitive to power grid quality, you can use the ECO mode for power supply through bypass to reduce the
power loss.

Note

1. In ECO mode, if the bypass failure or bypass voltage is abnormal when the output is not overload, the UPS will switch to Normal
mode. However, if the bypass failure or bypass voltage is abnormal when the output is overload, the UPS will not switch to Normal
mode, but shut down the bypass.
2. In ECO mode, the efficiency of the UPS is up to 98%.

1.5.5 Fault State

In Normal mode, the UPS will switch to Bypass mode when the inverter failure or the UPS over-temperature. In
Battery mode, the UPS will shut down and stop the output when the inverter failure or the UPS over-temperature. In
Fault state, the fault indicators will turn on, the buzzer will keep beeping, and the corresponding fault information will
be displayed on LCD panel.

Note

In Fault state, if the bypass failure or bypass voltage is abnormal when the output is not overload, the UPS will shut down and be
switched to the inverter for power supply, such as radiator over-hot. However, if the bypass failure or bypass voltage is abnormal
when the output is overload, the UPS will not switch to the inverter for power supply, but shut down the bypass.

Chapter 2 Installation

This chapter introduces the UPS installation. Each site has its peculiarities, so this chapter provides the guidance with
general installation procedures and methods for the installing engineer, who should conduct the installation according
to the actual conditions.

Warning: Professional Installation

The UPS equipment should be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the information contained in this chapter. If any
problem is found, please get in touch with Emerson local service center immediately.
Approved by the commissioning engineer, the UPS can be powered on.

Note: 3-phase 5-line for power supply input

Liebert ITA 16kVA/20kVA User Manual


Chapter 2 Installation 7

2.2.1 Distribution Room

The UPS is designed for indoor installation, which should be installed in clean and well- ventilated environment, so as
to keep the ambient temperature within the specifications range.
The internal fans provide the forced air cooling for the UPS. Cooling air enters the UPS through the front ventilation
holes, and exhausts the hot air through the back ventilation holes. Therefore, do not restrict the ventilation holes. The
front, rear and side panels of the UPS should be kept at least 200mm distance from the wall or consecutive
equipment, so as not to obstruct the UPS ventilation and heat rejection. Otherwise, the UPS internal temperature will
rise, which will shorten the UPS life.
If necessary, an indoor extractor fan should be installed to keep the indoor temperature from rising. An air filter should
be used where the UPS is to operate in a dirty environment.

Note

The UPS is only suitable for installing on the concrete surface or other non-flammable surface.

2.2.2 Battery Room

A small amount of hydrogen and oxygen will be produced at the end of battery charging, therefore, you must ensure
the fresh air ventilation of battery installation environment to meet the EN50272-2001 requirements.
The battery ambient temperature should be the constant temperature, because the ambient temperature is the main
factor to affect the battery capacity and life. The battery standard operating temperature is 20°C, operation above this
temperature will shorten the battery life, and operation below this temperature will reduce the battery capacity. If the
battery average temperature in run rises from 20°C to 30°C, the battery life will be reduced by 50%; if the battery
temperature in run exceeds 40°C, the battery life will be decreased exponentially. In general, the enabled 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 battery protective device (such as fuse or circuit breaker),
and the battery protective device should be installed in areas near the battery, and the battery connection between
the alignment should be the shortest distance.

2.2.3 Storage

The UPS must be stored indoors to protect against excessive moisture or over-temperature environment, when the
UPS does not need to be installed immediately. The battery requires dry and low temperature, well-ventilated
environment for storage, and the most suitable storage temperature is 20°C ~ 25°C.

Warning: Battery Hazards

During the battery storage period, the battery must be periodically charged according to the battery instructions. You can connect
the UPS to the mains temporarily when charging the battery, so as to activate the battery for battery charge.

2.3 Installation tools


Prepare installation tools according to Table 2-1. The tools must be insulated and ESD-proof processed prior to use.

provides general guidance for the qualified installing engineers. The qualified installing engineers should learn about
the related knowledge about the local wiring regulations for the equipment to be installed.

2.5.1 Rectifier And Bypass Inputting

Overcurrent
The appropriate overcurrent protective device should be installed on the mains input distribution, and you should take
the current capacity of power cable as well as the system overload requirements into account in installation (see
Table 1-2). It is generally recommended to use the thermomagnet circuit breaker of IEC60947-2 tripping curve C
(normal), following the 125% of current value listed in Table 2-2.
Bypass disconnection: When the system uses bypass disconnection, the protective devices should be respectively
installed at the mains input distribution for main input and bypass input.

Main/Bypass reflected protection


When using the main/bypass reflected protection function, the gross mains input needs to be equipped with the
protective devices with auxiliary contact function. The recommended model: S1N125 R125 TM FFC 4P + 1A + 1B +
YO (220Vac).

Note

The same neutral line must be used for the rectifier and bypass input power.
For IT power grid system, the protective device with four poles must be installed at the UPS external I/O distribution.

Earth leakage current


The residual current detector device (RCD) for the UPS upstream input distribution should:
z Be sensitive to the DC unidirectional pulse (level A) in distribution network
z Be insensitive to the transient current pulse
z Be the general sensitivity type, settable: 0.3A ~ 1A

Liebert ITA 16kVA/20kVA User Manual


Chapter 2 Installation 11

The residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) must be sensitive to the DC unidirectional pulse (level A) in distribution
network, and insensitive to the transient current pulse, as shown in Figure 2-6 respectively.

Figure 2-6 RCCB symbols

When using the earth leakage current test device in bypass disconnection system or parallel system, the RCD should
be located at the upstream input distribution terminal to avoid generating the false alarm.
The earth leakage current introduced by the RFI filter in the UPS ranges from 3.5mA to 1000mA. It is recommended
to confirm the sensitivity of each differential device of the upstream input distribution and downstream distribution (to
load).

2.5.2 Battery Input

The over-current protective device has been placed into the battery module, when you choose the battery module
options provided by Emerson. Otherwise, the external battery cabinet should provide DC compatible circuit breaker,
so as to provide the over-current protection for the UPS and its batteries.

2.5.3 UPS Output

The protective device must be installed for the UPS output distribution. The protective device must be different from
the input distribution protection switches, and it also provides the overload protection (see Table 1-2).

2.6 Connecting Power Cables


I/O cables and battery cables are needed to be connected. Battery modules provide the battery cable options.
When designing the cables, you should follow the instructions in this section and the local wiring regulations, take the
environment situation into account, and refer to Table 3B of IEC60950-1.

Warning

1. Before carrying out the UPS wiring, ensure that you have learned about the location and status of the UPS input and mains
distribution switch. Make sure that the switches are in open state, and put up the warning mark to prevent the switches from
operating by others.
2. Failure to follow adequate earthing procedures can result in electromagnetic interference, electric shock hazard to personnel, or
the risk of fire.

2.6.1 Cables Selection

Select the cables according to Table 2-2.

2.6.2 Connecting I/O Cables

Distribution mode and terminal block


1. Distribution mode
There are two modes for UPS distribution: single power output distribution unit (POD) options provided by Emerson,
external distribution by the user.
According to the actual requirements, the I/O cable connections are divided into the following four types: 3-in 3-out,
common source configuration (factory default), 3-in 3-out, split-bypass configuration, 3-in 1-out, common source
configuration, 3-in 1-out, split-bypass configuration. In accordance with the four types of the two distribution methods,
this section will introduce the I/O cables connection procedures respectively.

Note

This product is compatible with 3-in 3-out/3-in 1-out, default: 3-in 3-out. Change format according to the following steps, if you

2.9 Common Battery Strings


All the UPS singles in parallel system not only can share the battery strings, but also can use the battery strings
independently. The battery strings sharing in parallel system can save money for you.
The following section will introduce the connection and setting operation of common battery strings in parallel system.

Note

Each UPS single should be equipped with the independent battery MCB. Refer to Table 2-2 and voltage of battery strings for
battery MCB type.

1. Connection: Power off the system completely and disconnect all the battery MCBs of the UPS single, and then
connect the terminal ‘+’, ‘N’ and ‘-’ of the shared battery strings respectively to the terminal ‘Bat +’, ‘Bat N’ and ‘Bat -’
(see Figure 2-7) of the corresponding UPS single I/O terminal block in parallel system, through each battery MCB.
2. Setting: Power on the system, set each UPS single to battery strings sharing configuration through the LCD menu
‘Function Settings’ -> ‘Common Battery Strings Settings’ from each UPS single; set the LCD menu ‘Function Settings’
-> ‘Battery Cell Settings’ and ‘Battery Capacity Settings’ from each UPS single, and each single setting must be the
same.

Note

When the parallel system uses the battery strings sharing, the ‘Battery Capacity’ of the LCD settings of each UPS single stands for
the gross capacity of battery strings, and each single can calculate the battery capacity itself automatically.

3. Close the battery MCB for each single.

2.10 Double Bus System

2.10.1 System Installation

The double bus system is composed of two independent UPS system, and each UPS system can be composed of
one or two parallel UPS singles. The double bus system has high reliability, which is suitable for the load with many
input terminals. For single input load, you can add a selected static trigger switch (STS) to start the load bus
synchronization (LBS).
The double bus system uses LBS to realize the output sync of the two independent (or parallel) UPS systems. One is
the main system, and the other is the slave system. The operation mode of the double bus system contains main

No user accessable parts are located behind the protective covers that require a tool for removal. Only the qualified service
personnel are authorized to remove such covers.

4.1 UPS Start-up


The start-up procedures can be performed after the installation is finished, the system has been commissioned by
authorized personnel and the external input switches are closed.

Warning

This procedure results in mains voltage being applied to the UPS output terminals. Confirm that the load power supply is safe, if
there is a load to be connected with the UPS output terminal. Ensure that the load is isolated with the UPS output terminal, if the
load is not ready for receiving the power supply.

4.1.1 Normal Module Start-up Procedure

This procedure is suitable for UPS start-up when the UPS is in complete disconnection state. Procedures are as
follows:
1. Close the output/input switch outside the UPS on by one.
At this point, LCD displays the start screen, and the rectifier starts. After the rectifier runs in normal state about 30s,
the rectifier start is finished.
2. Press the ON button for 2 seconds.
At this point, the inverter starts, and the inverter indicators are flashing green. After the inverter runs in normal state,
the UPS transfers from bypass state to inverter state. The inverter indicators turn green, and the UPS runs in Normal
state.

4.1.2 Battery Module Start-up Procedure

1. Check that the batteries have been well connected.


2. Press the battery cold start button on the UPS front panel (see Figure1-1).
At this point, LCD displays the start screen. After the rectifier start-up is finished, the fault indicator is off.
3. Press the ON button for 2 seconds, the UPS will run in Battery mode.

4.2 Transferring Procedures Between Operation Modes

4.2.1 Transferring From Normal Mode To Battery Mode

In the event of mains failure, the UPS will switch to Battery mode. If you wish to switch the UPS from Battery mode to
Normal mode, you should wait a few seconds for the mains input recovery. 10 seconds later, the rectifier will restart
automatically, and the inverter will restore the power supply.

Normal mode.

4.2.4 Transferring From Normal Mode To Maintenance Bypass Mode

When the UPS is running in Normal mode, you can use this procedure to make the load switch from inverter output to
maintenance bypass.

Caution

1. Before performing this procedure, you should check the LED information first, and make sure the bypass is normal and
synchronizes with the inverter. Otherwise, it may result in the load power supply interruption for a while.
2. You should select the single POD options or prepare the maintenance bypass switch by yourself, so as to realize this function.

1. Press the OFF for 2 seconds.


The inverter indicators are off, and the buzzer alarms. The load switches to the static bypass, and the inverter shuts
down.

Note

Press the ALARM CLEAR button can silence the alarm, but the alarm message of the the LCD is not disappeared until the alarm
status is cleared.

2. Close the maintenance bypass switch on the single POD front panel, and the maintenance bypass can supply
power to the load.

Warning

If you wish to maintain the UPS, you should wait 10 minutes for the internal DC bus capacitance voltage discharging.

3. Disconnect the main/bypass input/output switches.

Caution

1. When the UPS is in Maintenance Bypass mode, the load does not have the mains abnormal protection.
2. After the UPS switches to maintenance bypass, the UPS is not in operation, and the LCD is no display, and only the user

4.4 EPO Procedure


There is an EPO switch on the UPS operation and display panel. The EPO button is designed to switch off the UPS in
emergency conditions (such as fire, flood, and so on). The system will turn off the rectifier, inverter and stop powering
the load immediately (inverter and bypass included), and the battery stops charging or discharging.
If the mains input is present, the UPS control circuit will remain active; however, the output will be turned off. To
remove all mains power from the UPS, the external input switch should be disconnected.

4.5 Auto Restart


When the mains power failure, the UPS draws power from the battery to supply the load until the batteries are
depleted. Then the UPS will shut down.
The UPS will automatically restart and recover output power:
z After the mains power is restored.
z The UPS Auto Restart function is enabled.
z After the Auto Restart is delayed (default: 10 minutes). During the Auto Restart delay, the UPS will charge the
battery to provide a safety margin for equipment shutdown if input power fails again.
If the Auto Restart function is disabled, you can restart the UPS manually by pressing the FAULT CLEAR button.

4.6 UPS Reset Procedure


The EPO action or the following reasons such as inverter overtemperature, power-off overload, battery overvoltage
and excessive switching may result in the UPS power-off. Once all appropriate measures have been taken to correct
the problem indicated by the alarm message appearing on the LCD, you can carry out the following procedures to
restore the UPS to normal operation state.
1. Press the FAULT CLEAR button to make the system exit the EPO state.
2. Press the ON button for 2s.

Note

1. The rectifier restarts, and the bypass supplies power to the load. When the rectifier starts, the fault indicator flashes. When the
rectifier runs in normal operation (about 30 seconds later), the fault indicator will turn off.
2. 5 minutes after the overtemperature signal disappears, that is, when the overtemperature fault is eliminated, the rectifier will
automatically start.
3. After the EPO button is pressed, if the mains input is disconnected, the UPS will shut down completely. When the mains input is
available, the UPS will start and run in Bypass mode, and also the output is available.

4.7 Language Selection

36 Chapter 5 Maintenance

Chapter 5 Maintenance

This chapter focuses on the UPS maintenance, including the fan maintenance, battery maintenance, UPS cleaning,
UPS state check, UPS function check.

5.1 Fan Maintenance


The UPS fans are expected to run for 20000 hours ~ 40000 hours continuously. The higher the ambient temperature,
the shorter the fan life is. During the UPS operation, please verify the fan status once every half year by confirming
that air blows out from the ventilation holes on the rear panel.

5.2 Battery Maintenance


The internal battery module of the UPS is sealed, lead-acid, maintenance-free battery. The battery life depends on
the ambient temperature, charge and discharge times. High ambient temperature and deep discharge shortens the
battery life.
To ensure the battery life, it is required to:
z Keep the ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
z Prevent small current discharge. Continuous battery operation time exceeding 24 hours is strictly prohibited.
z Charge the battery for at least 12 hours, if the battery hasn't been charged for three months at specified ambient
temperature, or two months at high ambient temperature.

Note

1. Never short circuit the battery terminals, which will result in fire.
2. Never open the battery, as the electrolyte is harmful to human body. In the event of inadvertent contact of the electrolyte, wash
the affected area immediately with plenty of clean water and go to see the doctor.

5.3 Cleaning 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.

5.4 Checking UPS State


It is recommended to check the UPS operation status once every half year.
Procedures are as follows:
1. Check if the UPS is faulty: Is the FAULT indicator on? Is the UPS giving any alarm?
2. Check if the UPS is operating in Bypass mode: Normally, the UPS operates in Normal mode; if it is operating in
Bypass mode, find out the reason, such as operator intervention, overload, internal fault, and so on.
3. Check if the battery is discharging: When AC mains is normal, the battery should not discharge; if the UPS
operates in Battery mode, you should find out the reason, such as mains failure, battery test, operator intervention,
and so on.

5.5 Checking UPS Functions
