Maintenance

Rack-Mounted Batteries

If the UPS system uses a battery other than a factory-supplied Matching Battery Cabinet, perform

maintenance on the battery as recommended in the battery manufacturer’s maintenance manual,

available on the manufacturer’s Web site.

3.4.2 Torque Requirements

All electrical connections must be tight. Table 4 provides the torque values for the connections in the

UPS. Use these values unless the equipment is labeled otherwise.

3.5

Detecting Trouble

It is important that the operator check the instrument readings if abnormal equipment performance

is suspected. Any metered value that differs appreciably from normal could mean an impending mal-

function and should be investigated.
Items to check include:

• If the UPS has not operated on battery power during the last 10 hours, the batteries should

require little charging current. Battery mimic should indicate normal DC voltage with the battery

charge current no more than 1% of maximum discharge current.

• Input current on each phase should be within 10% of the average input current.
• Alarm messages indicate malfunction or impending malfunction. A daily check of the Display

Screen will help to provide an early detection of problems. Refer to Table 7 for information about

interpreting alarm messages.

• Tracing a problem to a particular section is facilitated by alarm messages and the metered

parameter indications.

NOTICE

If the UPS system has an open fuse, the cause should be determined before replacing the fuse.
Contact Liebert Services for assistance.

NOTE
Refer to the battery manufacturer’s manual, available on the manufacturer’s Web site, for the proper torque
values required for the battery.
