GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Introduction
Lieberts NX Uninterruptible Power Supply system provides continuous, high-quality AC power to
your business-critical equipment, such as telecommunications and data processing equipment. The
NX UPS supplies power that is free of the disturbances and variations in voltage and frequency common to utility power, which is subject to brownouts, blackouts, surges and sags.
The NX utilizes the latest in high-frequency, double-conversion pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and fully digital controls to enhance its reliability and increase the ease of use.
The standard Liebert NX consists of the UPS and internal batteries in a compact, single cabinet.
As shown in Figure 1, the AC utility source is input at CB1 and the rectifier converts the AC utility
into DC power. The inverter converts that DC power from the utilityor DC power from the batteriesinto 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 to the maintenance bypass.

General Description
1.1.1
Bypass Supplies
The circuit block labeled Static Switch and Contactor in Figure 1 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.
A manually controlled, maintenance bypass supply is incorporated into the UPS design. It enables the
critical load to be powered from the utility (bypass) supply while the UPS is shut down for routine
maintenance.
NOTE
When the UPS is operating in bypass mode or on maintenance bypass, the connected
equipment is not protected from power failures or surges and sags.
1.1.2
Operating Modes
The UPS is designed to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer system in the following modes:
Normal Mode
Operating in normal mode, the NX 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.
Battery Mode
When utility AC power fails, the NX protects the critical load by instantaneously channeling battery
power to the inverter which continues supporting the critical load without interruption. When utility
power returns and is within acceptable limits, the NX automatically shifts back to Normal mode, with
the rectifier powering the critical load.
Bypass Mode
When the NX is in bypass mode, the load is directly supported by utility power and is without battery
backup protection.
The NXs static transfer switch will shift the load from the inverter to bypass mode without an 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 15ms (in 50Hz), or less than 13.33ms (in 60Hz). This interruption time may be
altered by modifying the Output transfer interrupt time setting.
General Description
Maintenance Mode
For maintenance or repair, the NX may be operated in maintenance mode. To place the NX in maintenance mode, the load must be transferred to bypass and the inverter must be turned off. When those
conditions are met, the rotary switch may be turned to MAINT and the UPS may be shut down, permitting disconnecting the batteries for maintenance.
CAUTION
WARNING
The internal maintenance bypass must not be used when the UPS system is in 1+1 parallel.
The UPS input and output must be protected with external overcurrent protection devices. In
maintenance mode, the input and output busbars remain energized.

3.1.1
Power Switches
The UPS can be isolated by means of power switches, mounted inside the cabinet and accessible after
opening the front door.
The location of the UPS power switches is shown in Figure 14.

CB1 - Utility
Connection
Inside the door,
left side
SW1 - Rotary Switch
Inside the door, near
the center (above the

The UPS unit power switches are CB1 and SW1.

CB1 - Input Isolator. Connects the utility supply to the UPS input.
SW1 - Rotary switch. Has four positionsNORMAL, BYPASS, TEST and MAINTthat correspond to different positions of the SW1-A/B/C/D.
The positions of the rotary switch (SW1) are:
SW1-A - Output Isolator. Connects the output of the UPS to the load.
SW1-B - Neutral Isolator. Connects neutral to the UPS.
SW1-C - Bypass Isolator. Connects the UPS with the bypass supply.
SW1-D - Maintenance Bypass Isolator. Permits supply of the load directly by the bypass
line for maintenance of the UPS unit.
The functions of the rotary switch are shown in Table 7.

UPS Start-Up
The NX 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.
3.2.1
Start-Up Procedure
To start the UPS from a fully powered-down condition:
1. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main power switches.
WARNING
During this procedure the output terminals will become live.

If any load equipment is connected to the UPS output terminals, please check with the load
user and ascertain whether it is safe to apply power to the load. If the load is not ready to
receive power, then ensure that it is safely isolated from the UPS output terminals.
CAUTION
Do not operate the rotary switch too fast. Always wait at least three seconds when rotating
the switch from one position to another.
2. Close CB1.
3. Turn the rotary switch to TEST.
The bypass contactor (M2) closes automatically and the LCD begins to show start-up screens.
The Rectifier indicator flashes green while the rectifier is starting up. It stops flashing and
becomes solid green about 30 seconds after the rectifier enters the normal operation state.
After initialization, the bypass static switch closes.
Because output switch SW1-A is still open, the UPS
channels power through Maintenance Bypass Supply
line (SW1-D). The bypass indicator extinguishes, provided that the bypass is normal.
The opening display is shown in the figure at right.

Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance Bypass

Follow the procedure below to transfer the load from the inverter output to the Maintenance Bypass
line of the UPS.
CAUTION
Before performing this operation, read the messages on the LCD to be sure that bypass supply
is regular and the inverter is synchronous with it. If those conditions are not present, there is
a risk of a short interruption in powering the load.
This procedure assumes that UPS is operating normally.

1. Press the INVERTER OFF button on the right side of the operator control panel for longer than
2 seconds.
The Inverter indicator will turn off and the alarm indicator (6) will turn amber and an audible
alarm will sound. The load will transfer to bypass and the inverter will shut off.
NOTE
Pressing the Alarm Silence Switch cancels the audible alarm, but leaves the warning message
displayed until the appropriate condition is rectified.
2. Open the UPS door to gain access to the main power switches, SW1 and CB1.
3. Turn the rotary switch to BYPASS position. The UPS Bypass Static Switch still supply power to
load.
4. Turn the rotary switch to TEST. The load is now on maintenance bypass.
5. Turn the rotary switch to MAINT.
6. Open rectifier switch CB1. All operator indicators and messages will turn off as the utility driven
internal power supplies decay. The unit will power down, but the load will continue to be supplied
by the manual Maintenance bypass.

WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
Wait 5 minutes for the internal DC busbar capacitors to discharge.
Even with the UPS in maintenance bypass and Off, portions of the unit are still energized.
Service is to be performed by qualified personnel only.
The load equipment is not protected from normal supply aberrations when operating in the
maintenance bypass mode.
Powering Down the UPS

To power down the UPS completely, follow the procedures in 3.3 - Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance Bypass.
To completely isolate the UPS from the AC supplies, the main external power input isolator (both isolators, where separate supplies are provided for rectifier and bypass) should be opened (see
Figure 15).
WARNING
To prevent injury to personnel, lockout or tagout the service supplies.

3.5
Powering Down the UPS and Maintaining Power to Load

NOTE
An external Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be installed before attempting to perform the
following procedure.
If the UPS needs to be shut down completely while maintaining power to the load, follow these steps:
1. Perform Steps 1 through 5 in 3.3 - Switching the UPS from Normal to Maintenance
Bypass.
2. Close the external maintenance bypass switch, QextBYP.
3. To completely isolate the UPS from the AC supplies, the main external power input isolator (both
isolators, where separate supplies are provided for rectifier and bypass) should be opened (see
Figure 15).
On the primary input distribution panel, which is often located distant from the UPS area, a label
should be posted advising service personnel that the UPS circuit is under maintenance.
WARNING
Wait 5 minutes for the internal DC busbar capacitors to discharge.
The UPS is now completely powered down.

NOTE
The Maintenance Bypass Power switch may be operated at any time while the UPS is powered
down to connect the load to the maintenance bypass supply if required.
The procedure can be performed only after the installation has been completed (which includes the
maintenance bypass cabinet), after the system has been placed in operation by authorized personnel
and after the external power switches (QINextBYP) have been closed. See the reference drawing of
Figure 15 for more information.

Emergency Shutdown With EPO

This circuit has been designed to switch off the UPS in emergency conditions (i.e., 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 stop charging or discharging.
3.7
Auto Restart
When main and bypass sources fail due to utility power failure, the system will operate on battery
continuously until shut down due to battery end of discharge (EOD).
When Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling is enabled, the UPS will enable output power after the
main or bypass source becomes normal, or after the user pushes the Fault Reset button. After the
time set in Auto Recovery after EOD delay time has expired and the rectifier is ready, the inverter
will be turned on automatically. The UPS will be in normal mode.
When Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling is disabled, the UPS will not turn back oneven if the
main or bypass source recoversuntil the user pushes the Fault Reset button.
The default setting for Auto Recovery after EOD Enabling is disabled, and the default setting for
Auto Recovery after EOD delay time is 10 minutes.
3.8
Reset After Shutdown for Emergency Stop (EPO Action) 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 display, carry out this procedure to restore the UPS to
regular operation following an EPO action or for the following reasons: Inverter Over temperature,
Cut-off Overload, Battery Over voltage, excessive switching (BYP: XFER COUNT BLOCK), etc.
When the user confirms that the fault is cleared:
1. Press the FAULT CLEAR button to let the system exit the emergency off state.
NOTE
The rectifier will start again, the battery contactor will close and the bypass will begin to power
the load. The Rectifier indicator (1) flashes while the rectifier is starting up. When the rectifier
enters the normal operation state (about 30 seconds), the rectifier indicator turns green.
2. Press the INVERTER ON button (10) on the right side of the operator control panel for longer
than 2 seconds.
NOTE
The rectifier will be turned on automatically when the over temperature fault disappears at
5 minutes after the disappearance of overtemperature signals.

Options
4.0
OPTIONS
Several items of optional equipment are available for connection to the NX UPS.
4.1
Communication and Other User Terminals

The UPS can be integrated into advanced networking environments via UPS monitoring software
such as Windows-based UPS Monitor, HiroLink + HiroVisor, SiteNet, Modbus / Jbus, SiteScan,
SiteScan 2, SNMP, etc. They allow UPS status monitoring and automatic and safe shutdown of the
server and PCs.
With an optional modem card installed, the UPS can dial out to pagers and telephone numbers under
selected or pre-defined alarm conditions.
4.1.1
External Battery Temperature Detect Interface

A connector at the X7 slot permits installing an optional TMP12Z temperature detector for external
batteries. (A temperature detector is installed for the NXs internal batteries.)
4.1.2
Analog Input Interface

At the X6 slot, there are two analog signal channels. Input range is from 0 to +5V, and the precision is
2%. ENV-T is used for environment temperature detecting.
4.1.3
Power Output
The X5 slot can provide power for a modem or an external SNMP card. Available voltage is from 9V to
12V. The maximum current is 500mA.
4.1.4
RS232 Interface
There are two RS232 interface at the monitor board: BACKGROUND 232-1 and BACKGROUND
232-2.
BACKGROUND 232-1 can be connected to Modem for remote monitor. 232-1 and 485_1 share the
same one serial communication resource (SCI 1), they can not be connect to monitor device at the
same time.
BACKGROUND 232-2 can not be connected to Modem. It shares the same one serial communication
resource (SCI 2) with Intellislot 2. They can not be connected to monitor device at the same time.
4.1.5
CAUTION
To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and for electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables should
be segregated and run separate from all other power cables, by 25mm where applicable.
RS485 Interface
There are two RS485 interface at the X4 slot: 485_1 and 485_2. 485_1 can be used only when the UPS
is in Multipoint to point mode. The two parallel UPS modules 485_1 can be connected together to
background. 485_1 and 232-1 share the same one serial communication resource (SCI 1), they can not
be connected to monitor device at the same time. If not on parallel monitor mode, 485_1 is disabled.
485_2 shares the same one serial communication resource (SCI 3) with Intellislot 3. They can not be
connected to monitor device at the same time.
4.1.6
Intellislot
The NX UPS contains three Intellislot communication slots to allow the operator to field install
optional communication cards. Each bus can independently communicate via Liebert ESP2 protocol,
and cards that translate the information on the bus to the specific protocol needed: Modbus / Jbus,
SNMP, IGMnet and serial port card. But Intellislot 1 and RS232 use one common bus; only one of
them can be used at the same time. The Intellislot communication slots are designed to provide simple installation where all electrical connections are made via a 34 pin edge card connector. These
option cards allow the UPS to communicate via multiple communication methods to monitoring application interfaces.
24
Options
4.2
LBS Mode (Load Bus Synchronization)

The function of LBS is to keep the output of two independent UPS systems (single unit or multiple
unit) in synchronization even when the two systems are operating in different modes (bypass/
inverter) or on batteries. It is usually used with an STS (Static Transfer Switch) connected to the critical load to achieve dual bus configuration.
4.3
CAUTION
In LBS configuration, both units must be supplied from the same utility source.
Battery Start (Optional)

With this option, the NX UPS can be started with power supplied only by the batteries (at charged
condition). This type of start, in the absence of utility power, allows independent utilization of battery
power and provides for higher availability in some circumstances.
CAUTION
Before attempting to start the UPS without utility power present, ensure that the batteries
are fully chargedover 2.1V per celland will supply adequate run time to the load.

Bypass Unable to Trace
This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the amplitude or frequency of
bypass voltage is beyond the normal range.
The amplitude threshold is fixed for positive and negative 10% rating. The frequency
threshold is set via the configuration software (2 Hz for default).
This alarm automatically resets once the bypass voltage goes normal.
Suggested Action
1. First verify that the bypass voltage and frequency displayed on the panel is within the
selected range. Note here the rated voltage and frequency are specified by Output
voltage level and Output frequency level respectively. And once this alarm occurs,
there is a hysteresis loop of 5V in phase voltage and 0.1Hz in frequency to recover.
2. If the displayed voltage is believed to be abnormal, then verify the bypass voltage and
frequency presented to the UPS. Check the external supply if it is found to be faulty. If
the utility is likely to trigger this alarm frequently, the alarm can be neglected through
the configuration software according to customers requirement. Or the bypass
frequency synchronization range can be changed a little larger through the
configuration software according to the customers agreement.
3. If Step 2 shows the displayed bypass voltage and frequency are quite different from the
actual bypass voltage and frequency, measure the signal to the U1 board. If this is
correct then replace the U1 Control Board; else check the wiring connections to M4
measure board, and if this is correct replace the M4 measure board.

Event Message
Bypass Abnormal
This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the amplitude or frequency of
bypass voltage exceeds the limit.
The amplitude and frequency limit of bypass voltage are set via the configuration software
(By default, +15% as maximum amplitude, -20% as minimum amplitude, 10% as
frequency range).
This alarm will also be activated by Bypass disconnect open, Bypass phase reverse or
Mains neutral lost alarms.
This alarm automatically resets once the bypass voltage goes normal.
Suggested Action
First check if there are some relevant alarms such as Bypass disconnect open, Bypass
phase reverse and Mains neutral lost. If they appear, solve them first.
1. Then verify that the bypass voltage and frequency displayed on the panel is within the
bypass limit. Note here the rated voltage and frequency are specified by Output
voltage level and Output frequency level respectively. And once this alarm occurs,
there is a hysteresis loop of 5V in phase voltage and 0.1Hz in frequency to recover.
2. If the displayed voltage is believed to be abnormal, then verify the bypass voltage and
frequency presented to the UPS. Check the external bypass supply if it is found to be
faulty. If the utility is likely to trigger this alarm frequently, the bypass limit can be
changed a little larger through the configuration software according to the customers
agreement.
3. If Step 2 shows the displayed bypass voltage and frequency are quite different from the
actual bypass voltage and frequency, measure the signal to the U1 control board. If this
is correct then replace the U1 control Board; else check the wiring connections to M4
measure board, and if this is correct replace the M4 measure board.
Inverter Asynchronous
This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the inverter and bypass
waveforms are misaligned by more than 6 degrees in phase. This alarm resets
automatically once the condition is no longer true.
Suggested Action
1. First check if the alarm Bypass unable to trace or Bypass abnormal occurs. If so,
solve it first.
2. Verify the waveform of the bypass voltage. If it is too distorted, ask the customer to
verify and seek any possible measurements.
3. Verify the stability of the bypass frequency. If the stability is not ideal, try to increase the
inverter slew-rate via the configuration software in single unit system. Or ask the
customer to verify and seek any possible measurements in a parallel system.
Inverter Fault
This alarm is triggered by an inverter software routine when the inverter voltage or the
output voltage satisfies one of the following conditions:
1. The output voltage comes with a DC waveform above 390V.
2. The inverter voltage goes above 112.5% rating or below 75% rating for 3 cycles when
the inverter current is less than 70% rating.
3. The inverter voltage goes above 112.5% rating or below 87.5% rating for 1 second.
Suggested Action
First verify whether this alarm is Inverter voltage fault or Inverter bridge short through
fault by pressing the RESET button on panel.
1. If the fault cannot be cleared, this alarm is brought by inverter bridge short through.
a. Power off the UPS, check the inverter IGBTs, also check the gate drivers. If there
are some errors, repair or replace them.
b. If the IGBTs are OK, then power on the UPS, and try to turn on the inverter without
load.
If the fault appears again, check the inverter voltage signals to the U1 control board from
the M4 measure board, and repair or replace as necessary.
If the fault disappears without load, check the loading conditions. Verify if there were great
impact or half-cycle loading conditions.
2. If the fault can be cleared, this alarm is brought by inverter voltage fault . Try to turn on
the inverter again without load, verify that the inverter voltage is at the normal value.
a. If the fault appears again, verify that the output voltage and regulation are set
appropriately via the configuration software. Reprogram them if necessary. Check
the inverter voltage signals to the U1 control board from the M4 measure board, and
repair or replace as necessary.
b. If the fault disappears without load, check the loading conditions. Verify if there were
great impact or half-cycle loading conditions.

a. check the fan fault signal from M4 measure board and U1 control board.
b. replace the U1 board or M4 board as required.
Inverter STS Fail
At least one of the static switches of inverter side is open or short circuit. This fault is locked
until power off.
This fault is triggered when the inverter voltage or the output voltage satisfies one of the
following conditions:
1. The output voltage goes above 120V when the inverter is on with bypass and output
disconnect open, bypass SCR and inverter SCR drive invalid. This condition set an
inverter STS short-circuit fault.
2. The inverter voltage goes above 120V when the inverter is off. If the inverter current
goes above 10% rating at the same time, the confirm time would be shorten. This
condition set an inverter STS short-circuit fault.
3. The inverter voltage goes below 80V with inverter STS drive valid. This condition set an
inverter STS open-circuit fault.
Suggested Action
1. Power off the UPS (with maintenance bypass closed). Check the inverter SCRs for
open circuit and short circuit. Also check the gate drivers.
2. If the SCRs are OK then check the output voltage, inverter voltage and current signal
inputs to U1 control board via the M4 measure board, and repair or replace them as
necessary.
3. Sometimes this fault can be triggered by floating output voltage due to the absence of
output EMI board. Verify the displayed output voltage and the status of output EMI

The alarm automatically resets once the overload condition is removed.
Suggested Action
Confirm that the alarm is true by checking the load percent indicated on the LCD panel to
determine which phase is being overloaded.
1. If the alarm is true, measure the actual output current to verify that the indications are
valid. Disconnect unnecessary load and ensure the safety. In a parallel system, a
severe load sharing error can also leads to the alarm.
2. If the alarm is not true:
a. Verify that the correct UPS kVA rating has been set via the configuration software.
b. Replace the U1 control board.
System Over load
The UPS parallel system is confirmed to overload when the total load arises above 105%
nominal rating for the set basic number of UPSs. The alarm automatically resets once the
overload condition is removed.
Suggested Action
Confirm that the alarm is true by checking the system load percent indicated on the LCD
panel to determine which phase is being overloaded.
1. If the alarm is true, measure the actual output current to verify that the indications are
valid. Disconnect unnecessary load and ensure the safety. In a parallel system, a
severe load sharing error can also leads to the alarm.
2. If the alarm is not true:
b. Check the setting of basic number of UPS via the configuration software. If it is
different from the actual system, power up the rest of the UPSs, or change the
setting number via the configuration software.
c. Check the M5 auxiliary power board and the parallel cables for output current
detection.
d. Replace the M5 and/ or U1 control board as required.
Unit Over load Timeout
The UPS is confirmed to overload and the overload times out.

Note 1: the highest loaded phase will indicate overload timing-out first.

the output will shutdown.
2. When bypass goes abnormal during the 5 minutes span just after an overload transfer
from inverter side.
3. When bypass goes abnormal when the bypass is feeding the load and an overload
alarm occurs.
Note: This alarm usually occurs with the accompany of Bypass abnormal.
Suggested Action
Confirm that the alarm is genuine by checking the amplitude and frequency of bypass
voltage.
Byp. Abnormal Shutdown
1. If the alarm is genuine
a. check the wiring of bypass circuit.
b. look over the current and history record to look for other relative alarm such as unit
over load, unit over load timeout, transfer time-out. Follow relevant procedure to
deal with the alarms.
2. If the alarm is not genuine
a. verify that the bypass up and down limits programmed via the configuration
software is appropriate and reprogram if necessary.
b. measure the signal to the U1 board. If this is correct then replace the U1 control
Board; else replace the M4 measure board.

Reserved
Inverter Over Current
The current of inverter IGBT is over limit. This alarm is triggered by a hardware signal
emitted by the gate driving chip.
Suggested Action
1. Check for a reasonable cause for the fault by examining for shorts/burns, etc., in the:
a. output filter capacitors and associated wiring.
b. inverter IGBTs and associated cabling.
2. If no reasonable cause is found then:
a. if the fault signal is illuminated on the M4 board determine the cause of the
erroneous overload detection and repair/replace as necessary.
b. if the fault signal to the U1 board is OK, then replace the U1 control board.
Restart the inverter after RESET the fault.
48
Bypass Phase Reversed
The phase sequence direction of bypass voltage is reversed.

Normally, the phase of phase B lags 120 degrees behind phase A, and the phase of
phase C lags 120 degrees behind phase B.
Suggested Action
1. First verify that the phase rotation of the bypass supply presented to the UPS is correct,
and rectify it if it is found to be in error.
2. Measure the signal to U1 control board. If this is correct then replace U1 Board; else
replace or repair M4 measure board.
If the signal to the U1 board is missing, there shall be other active alarms concerning the
bypass voltage.
49
Load Impact Transfer
Transfer to bypass as a result of load impact.

The UPS can recover automatically.
Suggested Action
Suggest user avoid applying large load abruptly and avoid short circuit.
Transfer Time-out
The load is on bypass because the output overload transfer and retransfer is clamped to
the set times during the current hour.
The system will transfer back to inverter side within an hour.
Suggested Action
1. Verify that the transfer times programmed via the configuration software is appropriate
and reprogram if necessary.
2. There should be other relative fault present in the history record such as unit over
load, unit over load timeout. Follow relevant procedure to deal with the alarms.
3. Suggest user do not apply frequent overload to make the UPS work in bypass mode
without protection.
Load Sharing Fault
UPS working within a parallel system are not sharing load current correctly.
Suggested Action
1. Verify the power connection of output during the parallel system.
2. Verify the connection status of parallel cables.
3. Verify the waveform or stability of bypass voltage.
4. Check if there are any errors on the parallel board, change it as necessary.

No.

Event Message
DC Bus Abnormal
Shut off inverter due to abnormal DC bus voltage.

Suggested Action
Check whether there is fault in rectifier side, if no, then check whether overload occurs.
System Transfer
The whole paralleled UPS system transferred to bypass at the same time. This message
will appear on the UPS which passive transfer to bypass.
Suggested Action
If the parallel operation system transfers to bypass mode, and the operation condition
enables, all the UPS modules can recover to normal mode synchronously.
Parallel Board Fault
Something wrong with the Parallel board.

Suggested Action
1. Replace the M5 board
2. If the alarm is still exist
a. check the power cable of the M5 board.
b. check the wiring between M5 auxiliary power board and the U1 control board and
the signal of Load Sharing Relay to the U1 board, replace the U1 board as required.
DC Bus Over Voltage
Rectifier, inverter and battery converter were shutdown because DC bus voltage is too
high.
Suggested Action
Check whether there is a fault in rectifier side. If no, then check whether overload occurs.
Restart the inverter after RESET the fault.
Parallel Connect Fault
The parallel cables are not connected correctly in a parallel system.

Suggested Action
Confirm that the alarm is genuine by checking the parallel cables and make sure that the
cables were connected as a circle.
1. If the alarm is genuine, reconnected the parallel cables in a ring.
2. If the alarm is not genuine,
a. check the power cable of the M5 auxiliary power board and fault signal from the M5
board to the U1 board. Replace the M5 board as required.
b. check the wiring between M5 board and the U1 control board and the signal to the
U1 board, replace the U1 board as required.
57
Bypass Over Current
Bypass current is over limit above 135% rating.

The UPS just alarms and does nothing.
Suggested Action
Confirm that the alarm is genuine by checking the load current indicated on the LCD panel
to determine which phase is being overloaded and leads to the bypass over current.
1. If the alarm is genuine, measure the actual output current to verify that the indications
are valid. Disconnect unnecessary load and ensure the safety.
2. If the alarm is not genuine:
a. verify that the correct UPS kVA rating has been set via the configuration software.
b. replace the U1 control board.
58
Inverter DC Offset
There are high DC voltage at the Inverter output (Reserved)
