Lorsque I’électrolyte est renversée, la surface affectée  
devrait être nettoyée en utilisant un agent neutralisant  
adéquat. Une pratique courante est d’utiliser un mélange  
d’approximativement une livre (500 grammes) de  
bicarbonate de soude dans approximativement un gallon  
(4 litres) d’eau. Le mélange de bicarbonate de soude  
devra être ajouté jusqu’à ce qu’il n’y ait plus apparence de  
réaction (mousse). Le liquide résiduel devra être nettoyé  
a I’eau et la surface concernée devra être asséchée.

INTRODUCTION  
UNLOADING THE UPS  
The Liebert UPStation S™ Uninterruptible power supply  
(UPS) system protects valuable equipment, data, and  
processes from utility power disturbances. The high-  
performance, on-line, microprocessor-controlled design  
ensures clean, regulated, sinewave power to loads  
regardless of utility power fluctuations. An internal battery  
provides power to loads during utility power outages.  
Refer to the figures below:  
1. Remove shipping bands (A) and edge protectors (B).  
2. Remove polybag and box.  
3. Remove bracket mounting bolts (C) from pallet.  
4. Knock out shims (D) with hammer and screwdriver.  
5. Thread leveling feet (E) flush with unit bottom.  
6. Remove front pallet hex bolts (F). Remove the front  
skid (G).  
This highly intelligent UPS alerts you to unusual  
circumstances, or configure the UPS to serve as a source  
of information and a power control base for specific  
7. Slowly tilt the unit forward and roll it off the pallet.  
CAUTION: The units are heavy. Use at least two  
people for this step.  
applications.  
Programmable parameters, computer  
interfaces, and several network control features (remote  
status/control, Power Management, event logging, and  
others) provide maximum application flexibility.  
Unbolt shipping brackets (H) from unit. Inspect unit.  
Verify model number and check for damage. Make sure  
UPS Input, Output, and Battery circuit breakers are Open  
(OFF).  
Features  
·
Input power factor correction (PFC) makes optimal  
use of utility power.  
·
Input current total harmonic distortion (THD) of less  
than 5% minimizes noise on the branch circuit and  
reduces neutral currents.  
·
·
Power Output Distribution (unit) facilitates UPS repair  
or battery replacement without disrupting power to the  
load on 3.5 - 6 kVA units  
Temperature-compensated battery recharge for  
longer battery life.

of a simple Maintenance Bypass Switch.  
See the  
Operation section for instructions on Maintenance  
Bypass Switch use.  
Operate UPS in a clean, controlled environment with  
adequate airflow.  
Exposure to excessive dirt or dust adversely affects UPS  
operation.  
Input  
The input power cord includes a NEMA L14-30 plug. The  
cord is six feet long and rated for 30 Amps. Customer  
supplied wiring must include an L14-30 receptacle and a  
30 Amp circuit breaker.  
Internal fans cool the UPS. The unit intakes air at the front  
and exhausts it out the rear. Allow at least one foot of  
space around UPS for air circulation. Operate UPS within  
specified temperature and humidity limits.  
Output  
The POD contains the output receptacles.  
Allow only authorized personnel to service UPS. Allow a  
minimum of 3 feet access on both sides for rigid conduit  
installations. Units that can be rolled forward for side  
service access require no side access in their normal  
position. Manual UPS operation and connection to UPS  
receptacles requires rear access.

Right Arrow - Advances to next screen or value  
Enter - Selects a menu, display, or value and enters  
selected values into the control program  
Self tests begin immediately if power is applied after initial  
start-up. Configuration review is optional.  
The unit will not repeat most self tests when turned OFF  
then ON because power is not removed from control logic.  
Upon turning it ON, the unit tests the inverter. To start  
unit, close the Output Circuit Breaker.  
Escape - Cancels selections. It returns values to original  
settings and the display to the main menu.  
The LCD panel displays messages and operating

The ”standard” rate recharges  
batteries to 95% capacity within 20 times the discharge  
duration. Select the ”standard” factory default setting rate  
if your utility system has frequent (weekly) blackouts.  
With ”turbo” mode enabled, the microprocessor  
determines how often to use the fast recharge rate, in  
order to optimize battery life.  
Auto-Restart  
The factory enables this feature. The UPS automatically  
restarts and supplies power to the load after battery  
depletion. The UPS supplies power to the load as soon as  
utility service is restored.  
Turning the UPS OFF disables Auto-Restart until the ON  
button is pressed.  
Bypass Operation  
The bypass provides an alternate path for power to the  
critical load. On bypass, utility power feeds directly to the  
Manual Restart after Low Battery Shutdown or REPO  
Manual Restart (instead of Auto-Restart) opens the Output  
Circuit Breaker upon battery depletion during a power  
outage. Pressing the customer-supplied REPO switch  
also opens the Output Circuit Breaker. To manually  
restart the UPS, close the Output Circuit Breaker (turn it  
OFF, then ON to reset breaker). When the ”Press ON to  
start system...” message appears, press the ON button.

Auto-Bypass  
Upon overload or inverter  
failure,  
automatically transfers to

During an overload, the  
UPS attempts to  
retransfer from bypass to

within a 20-minute period.  
If the overload prohibits

activated, the unit immediately transfers to bypass and  
turns OFF the inverter, PFC, and battery charger. The  
UPS remains in bypass until the switch is moved to the  
UPS position. The user may also initiate manual bypass  
via the LCD display or RS-232 remote communications.

During normal operation, the LCD display informs you of

the  
UPS status.  
The display indicates when the UPS  
transfers the load to or from bypass (if available), when  
the load is On Battery, and when alarms or faults occur.  
See the alarm chart in the Appendix for alarm message  
meanings and corrective actions.  
Battery Operation  
On Battery  
During low input voltage, the battery supplements inverter  
power. During a utility power failure, the battery provides  
all power required for normal operation. A fully charged  
battery provides at least 10 minutes of output power.  
More battery power is available if your system includes an  
optional external battery cabinet (see Options). Less load  
increases the battery back- up time. If your UPS supports  
several computer systems, turning some of them off  
allows others to run longer. Battery Run Time curves in  
the Appendix show performance of the internal battery and  
external battery cabinets.  
NOTE: If utility power remains off, perform an orderly  
shutdown of the critical load before exhausting the battery.  
If utility power returns during battery operation, normal  
operation resumes and battery recharging begins.  
Battery Recharge  
Upon return of acceptable utility power after battery  
operation, the battery charger begins to charge the  
batteries. Battery charging stops upon pressing the OFF  
button four times or activating the REPO.

POWER MANAGEMENT  
Power Management programs consist of four elements:  
Use Power Management to program power to individual  
loads to turn OFF or ON at specific times or as a result of  
specific events. Only Load Modules with Power  
Management circuitry respond to Power Management  
programming.  
Power Management enables you to selectively turn  
programmable Load Modules (receptacles) off and on to  
conserve energy, extend battery time, or control network  
devices based on:  
·
·
·
·
Which Load Module  
What event triggers the Load Module  
Whether the Load Module turns ON or OFF  
The time delay between the event and the Load  
Module reaction  
CAUTION: A program step becomes active as soon as  
it is entered. Therefore, program the scheduled ON  
action for each load before programming the OFF  
action. Otherwise, turn OFF critical loads.  
·
A programmed schedule  
·
Events such as utility power failure, battery time left,

SiteNet SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)  
The SiteNet SNMP internal agent allows for direct network  
UPS management in an Ethernet environment. The  
internally mounted SNMP agent provides true product  
integration. It draws uninterruptible power from the UPS  
and eliminates the need for a second UPS for the agent.  
Remotely configure the agent via BOOTP and TFTP.  
Configuration and bootstrap are stored in non-volatile  
memory. The MIB is MIB II compliant. The SNMP option  
ships with the MIB in DOS and TAR formats complete with  
a configuration cable.  
Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Cable  
This optional 50-foot cable includes the attached matting  
connector for connection to the UPS.  
The REPO  
connector is at the rear of the unit. The factory supplied  
switch provides a normally open (N.O.) contact rated for 1  
Amp at 24 Volts. Pressing the REPO button opens the  
UPS Output Circuit Breaker and disables battery charging.  
See the figure below.  
PIN 1  
Terminal/Modem Connection  
All information and functions accessed through the control  
panel are also accessible by a terminal, host computer, or  
modem through the RS-232 port. You may connect a  
terminal or computer to the RS-232 port directly or through  
a modem. The UPS dials out to a selected phone number  
to report alarm conditions and connects when called from  
a terminal.

·
·
Run all customer-supplied control wiring in separate  
rigid steel conduit from power wiring.  
Wire in accordance with national and local electrical  
codes.  
See drawings in Connections for UPS REPO  
connector location.  
The terminal shows a picture of the LCD display screen.  
The UPS responds to the left arrow, right arrow, enter, and  
escape keys on the keyboard just as it would from the  
UPS control panel. View UPS meters and alarm history,  
change configuration set- tings, and activate remote start,  
stop, and transfer (if bypass is available) all from a remote  
terminal.  
Communications Options  
The UPS supports the following methods of  
communication:  
·
·
·
SiteNet 1 (automatic, unattended shutdown)  
SiteNet 2 (Power Surveillance software)  
SiteNet SNMP (Simple Network Management  
Protocol)  
Terminal Operation: Connect an ANSI terminal (or a  
computer with an appropriate terminal emulator program,  
e.g. ProComm) to the UPS directly or through a modem  
connection. See Cables for connection details.  
·
Terminal / Modem Connection  
Set up the computer terminal as follows:  
Baud rate: 2400  
Stop bits: 1  
Full duplex  
Data bits: 8  
Parity: none  
SiteNet 1, SiteNet 2, terminal mode and modem operation  
require the RS-232 Kit. This kit provides a plug-in  
communications board that includes relays, serial  
communications and a DB25 connector for interfacing to  
the SiteNet software kits.  
The RS-232 interface can operate in terminal mode which  
shows the LCD display on the screen, or ESP mode which  
only qualified service personnel use. To use terminal  
mode, press the space bar. The LCD display appears on  
the screen and the left arrow, right arrow, enter, and  
escape keys become operable. If the LCD display does  
not appear, the RS-232 may be in ESP mode. Type EXIT  
to return the RS-232 to terminal mode.  
SiteNet 1 Shutdown Interface Kits  
Each option kit includes a 10-foot communication cable  
with connectors, necessary software for computer  
interface to the UPS, and separate instructions for  
installation and operation. A power failure will initiate a  
pre-programmed timer. Then the software performs an  
automatic, unattended, orderly shutdown. If the UPS  
reaches a low battery condition, the software overrides the  
timer and performs an orderly shut- down. The software  
runs as a background task on the computer while  
monitoring the UPS.  
The UPS responds to requests such as viewing UPS  
meters or alarm history. Some configuration selections  
(other than voltage or frequency) can be changed during  
UPS operation. Use the configuration screens UPS  
ON(1)/OFF(0) and Transfer UPS to remotely turn the UPS  
ON or OFF, or make transfers (if bypass is available).  
SiteNet 2 Power Surveillance  
This option includes software to enable UPS monitoring  
and control from a remote computer or workstation.  
Contact a Liebert UPS supplier for more details including  
availability for your computer or workstation  
Modem Operation: Connect the UPS to a remote  
computer terminal through a modem link (one modem at  
each end). See Cables for connection details. The UPS  
automatically tests for a modem every three minutes,  
when the communication channel is idle.

RS-232 with User-Configurable Relays - VCR232C  
This provides user-selected contact closure output on the  
RS-232 board, for use with remote monitoring devices.  
The board also includes two relays. Program these relays  
as NO or NC to activate upon any combination of these  
alarms:  
The options of the first line of this screen are IN, OUT,  
BOTH, or OFF. IN calls are from a remote terminal  
operator to the UPS. OUT calls are alarms reported from  
the UPS to a selected phone number with a modem  
attached. BOTH enables both IN and OUT calls. OFF  
disables modem connections, but a directly connected  
computer terminal may still be used.

The second line allows entry of the phone number the  
UPS calls when alarms occur. Remember to include a 9  
or other characters if required. When initiating a call, the  
UPS makes up to 3 attempts to connect, spaced 45 to 90  
seconds apart, before giving up.  
These relay outputs use an RJ45 connector. Connector  
and 25’ pigtail supplied. Program the relays via the UPS  
LCD display on the front panel.  
Enter the Site ID on the fourth line. The UPS includes  
Site ID in OUT messages to distinguish multiple UPS’s  
programmed to call the same phone number. Use up to  
16 characters (letters, numbers, and spaces) for the Site  
ID.  
Cables  
·
An optional factory-assembled 6-foot cable enables  
connection to a modem.  
A factory-assembled splitter cable enables connection  
to a modem (or terminal) and a Computer/LAN  
interface.  
To assemble a customer supplied cable, refer to the  
following instructions and Figure #5:  
For a modem cable, connect to pins 2, 3, 7, 8, 20, and  
22. Connect Pin 2 on one end to pin 3 on the other  
end (this applies to two wires). All other connections  
are straight through.  
·
For terminal IN calls, the screen displays ”Press <SPACE  
BAR> to enter terminal mode...”. Use the keyboard to get  
information from the UPS or to perform remote ON, OFF,  
or Transfer as described above. If no keys are pressed for  
6 minutes, the UPS hangs up.  
·
·
For UPS OUT calls, the receiving terminal beeps and  
displays the message ”Press any key to enter terminal  
mode...”. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds, the  
terminal displays present alarm condition(s) information  
along with the Site ID. The time of each alarm displays to  
the nearest tenth of a second.  
For a terminal cable (direct connection, no modem)  
connect to pins 2, 3, and 7. All connections are straight  
through.
