IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of the Liebert Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit (STS2/PDU).
Read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the sections that apply to your installation,
before working with the Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit. Retain this manual for use
by installing personnel.
WARNING
!
The unit is supplied by more than one power source. The unit contains hazardous voltages if
any of the input sources are on, even when the unit is in bypass. To isolate the unit, turn off
and lock out all input power sources.
Verify that all input power sources are de-energized and locked out before making connections
inside unit.
Lethal voltages exist inside the unit during normal operation. Only qualified service
personnel should perform maintenance on the STS2/PDU.
NOTE
Read the entire manual before installing or operating the system. Adhere to all operating
instructions and warnings on the unit and in this manual.
WARNING
!
Under typical operation and with all STS2/PDU doors closed, only normal safety precautions
are necessary. The area around the STS2/PDU should be kept free of puddles of water, excess
moisture and debris.
ONLY qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the Static Transfer
Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit. When performing maintenance on any part of the
equipment under power, service personnel and test equipment should be located on rubber
mats. The service personnel should wear insulating shoes for isolation from direct contact
with the floor.
One person should never work alone, even if all power is removed from the equipment. A
second person should be standing by to assist and summon help in case an accident should
occur.
WARNING
!
The input sources to the STS2/PDU must be grounded-wye sources. Input sources other than
solidly grounded-wye sources may cause damage to the switch.
Liebert Corporation neither recommends nor knowingly sells this product for use with life support or
other FDA-designated “critical” devices.
The Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect the unit

Location Considerations
2.0 LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The STS2/PDU should be placed in a clean, cool and dry location. The 250A unit without an output
cabinet requires only front access for installation and maintenance. Both front and side access are
required for installation and maintenance of 400-800A units and 250A units with output cabinet. The
output cabinet comes factory installed or either the right or left side depending on how it was ordered.
It cannot be moved from one side to the other in the field.
Adequate space is required above the unit for conduit (if configured as such) and cooling air flow. This
section provides specific information for these considerations.
The unit is designed with top and bottom cable terminations to allow maximum flexibility in its
installation. Units with output inline panelboards are bottom exit only. If bottom cable entry and exit
is used, sufficient cable bending space must be provided by a raised floor or a floor stand.

System Grounding
Equipment grounding—Grounding is primarily for equipment and personnel safety, although proper
grounding also enhances equipment performance.
All input and output power feeds must include an equipment grounding means as required by the
NEC and local codes.
An insulated equipment ground conductor is recommended to run with each input and output power
feed. The equipment ground conductors should be at least the minimum size conductor per the NEC
based on the upstream overcurrent protection device.
WARNING
!
If conduit is used as a grounding means, adequate electrical continuity must be maintained at
all conduit connections. The use of isolating bushings with a metal conduit can be a safety
hazard and is not recommended.

Introduction to STS2/PDU Operations
8.0 INTRODUCTION TO STS2/PDU OPERATIONS
8.1 System Description
A STS2/PDU provides an automatic, seamless transfer between input power sources to an output
load. The STS2/PDU monitors the input sources, to ensure each source is operating within set param-
eters, as well as ensure that each source is within acceptable tolerances for a transfer between
sources to be completed.
The STS2/PDU contains two static transfer switches in one enclosure to allow the unit to transfer its
load between the two input sources without disruption to the output for longer than 1/4 of a cycle.
If a problem is detected with a primary (Preferred) input source and defined trigger points are
reached, the STS2/PDU automatically switches the input to the other (Alternate) input source. The
STS2/PDU continues to monitor both sources and can automatically transfer the load back to the pre-
ferred source, if so configured, when that source returns to acceptable operating parameters.
The system control logic automatically monitors the input sources and power output to ensure that
they are operating within acceptable tolerances. The system logic manages the transfer between
sources.
The STS2/PDU front panel contains a Color Graphical Display on an LCD touch screen display. The
Color Graphical Display provides a menu-driven operator interface and a display of system informa-
tion, status information, a one-line diagram (Mimic) of the STS2/PDU, active alarms and alarm his-
tory information.
The menu selections provide control of the preferred source, manual transfer initiation. Buttons pro-
vide for audible alarm silence and reset.
Through the touch screen, specific voltage, current and environmental parameters can be configured
to trigger events that can sound an alarm, write to a history log and either transfer sources or inhibit
a transfer.
Preferred input source selection, alarm reset and alarm silencing are done through buttons on the
touch screen display.
Communication options provide external communication with the STS2/PDU through a modem, a
network card, a programmable relay board, a contact isolator or an RS-422 port to Liebert’s SiteScan.
8.1.1 Redundancy
Redundancy within the STS2/PDU prevents one component from being a single point of failure,
should a problem occur. Redundant circuits and components are used to eliminate single points of
failure.
Since the STS2/PDU has two input sources, no single component failure can cause a loss of power to
the load. Redundant power supplies are provided which feed a DC dual-bus used throughout the unit
to prevent any single-point power supply failure modes.
Three separate redundant control logic modules are built into the system. Each contains the logic nec-
essary to run the STS2/PDU and control all transfers.
Redundant fans are provided if a primary fan fails. The redundant fans turn on to prevent overheat-
ing inside of the unit.
Should the front panel interface fail, the control logic continues to operate and the unit would transfer
should a problem be detected on the preferred source. Information on the monitoring parameters
would be available through the remote communication options, if available, or the DB9 (RS-232) con-

Introduction to STS2/PDU Operations
8.1.2 Reliability and Agency Requirements
The STS2/PDU is designed for high reliability and high availability with a critical bus Mean Time
Between Failure (MTBF) exceeding 1,000,000 hours.
The STS2/PDU and all its options are designed, tested and certified, where applicable, to meet agency
requirements as follows:
• UL 891: Standard for Switchboard, for UL and ULc listing
• UL 1008: Standard for Automatic Transfer Switches
• UL 67: Standard for Panelboard
• UL 1561: Standard for Dry Transformers
• UL 1459: Telephone equipment (Modem)
• NEC
• FCC Part 15 EMI emission limits for Class A computing devices.
The STS2/PDU uses conservatively rated components, minimizing the need to go to maintenance
bypass. All normal maintenance and repair work can be done through the front panel of the unit. This
access makes repairs and maintenance easier.
Gating and control logic are partitioned so that failure of one source’s gating or sensing logic does not
prevent the switch from transferring to the other source.
All control and logic components are mounted separate from the power components. The STS2/PDU is
designed to minimize the exposure of hazardous voltages to allow safe servicing of the unit while the
load is energized.
All electrical components requiring normal maintenance are replaceable without de-energizing the
load, as long as one source is available. Solid-state switching devices are packaged to allow safe repair
of those devices without having to de-energize the load. All non-automatic switches or circuit breakers
are the plug-in or draw-out type to allow replacement without de-energizing the load. All other com-
ponents, including transformers, power cables and connections, circuit breaker bases, etc., are
replaceable from the front, rear or top of the unit—however, this requires all power to be removed
from the unit for safety. All solid-state power switching devices are rated to prevent hazardous device
failure in power systems with available fault currents up to the defined limits, as listed in 14.1.6 -
8.1.3 Factory Backup and Service Assistance
Because improper installation can cause a system to fail, a Liebert Global Services or a factory
trained service technician should thoroughly inspect the unit to ensure it is properly installed and its
operating parameters are properly configured.
Once the STS2/PDU is properly installed, you, as the on-site operator, can easily monitor the unit’s
operation utilizing the touch screen.
In the United States, if you need assistance or have questions, call 1-800-LIEBERT (1-800-543-2378).
Outside the 48 contiguous United States, contact Liebert Global Services, if available in your area.
For international areas not covered by Liebert Global Services, the Liebert authorized distributor can
provide technical support.
8.2
Modes of Operation
8.2.1 Normal (Preferred Source)
Under normal operating conditions, the STS2/PDU routes power from the preferred input source to
the output load. The unit monitors the voltage current and phase of each source to ensure that both
are operating within set tolerances and that the alternate source is available, should a transfer be
required.

Introduction to STS2/PDU Operations
8.2.2 Transfer
Should the preferred source fail or be outside acceptable voltage limits, the STS2/PDU transfers the
input to the alternate source until the problem is rectified in the preferred source. The unit can be set
to automatically transfer the input back to the preferred source or allow the transfer to be done only
manually.
8.2.3 Transfer Inhibit
For a transfer to be completed between input sources, the sources must meet certain parameters or
the transfer cannot take place. Uninterrupted transfer between sources is inhibited due to input
source failure, sources out of sync, switch failure or the unit is in bypass mode.
8.2.4 Bypass
The Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit can be manually bypassed to allow the power
from a source to directly flow to the output load. This bypass allows the unit’s electronics to be ser-
viced without dangerous voltages being present.
The STS2/PDU includes key-interlocked maintenance bypass breakers that allow either input
source’s electronics to be bypassed for maintenance without interruption of power to the load. The
maintenance bypass allows all electronics to be isolated from the input, output and bypass connec-
tions. Bypass instructions are available from the touch screen and are discussed later in this manual.
8.3
Operator Controls
The STS2/PDU is equipped with an interface to configure and monitor the unit either locally or
remotely. The Color Graphical Display is a touch screen LCD that provides a color diagram (Mimic)
that displays the current status of the unit. System parameters are displayed and help is available to
screen menus allow the operator to initiate source transfers, view event and history logs and view
bypass and other operational instructions.

Qualified personnel, with a password, can use these menus to configure parameters, select a pre-
ferred source and do manual source transfers.
Units can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software attached to the
unit. Through the RS-232 access, you can monitor and configure the unit, plus remotely select a pre-

Theory of Operation
9.0 THEORY OF OPERATION
9.1 General Description
The STS2/PDU contains all the equipment necessary to prevent an interruption in power flow to the
AC load, should your primary source fail.
9.1.1 Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit
The STS2/PDU is a combination automatic static transfer switch and power distribution unit. The
STS2/PDU shall include two isolation transformers connected to a solid-state, three-pole, dual-posi-
tion static transfer switch designed to automatically and manually switch between two synchronized
three-phase AC power sources without an interruption of power to the load longer than 4 milliseconds
(1/4 cycle). Input, output, bypass circuit breakers and a distribution section shall be included to form
an integrated system in a single freestanding enclosure.
The preferred source is the input source that normally carries the load when both sources are avail-
able. The preferred source is selectable by the user from the LCD panel or an optional Remote Source
Selection. The unselected source is referred to as the alternate source and carries the load if the pre-
ferred source should fail or if a manual transfer is initiated.
The unit uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) connected in paralleled, opposing pairs to function
as an AC switch configuration. Three pairs of SCRs connect the AC load to the selected preferred
input source as long as the preferred source is available. A second set of SCRs stands ready to trans-
fer the AC load to the alternate input source should the preferred source fail. The switching action is
a very fast, break-before-make with less than a 1/4 cycle break in the AC waveform.
During static switch transfers and retransfers, the conduction state of the SCRs is carefully moni-
tored and controlled to prevent a current path from one source to the other. This technique prevents a
faulted source from feeding into the other good source.
9.1.2 Source Transfer
The STS2/PDU allows manually initiated transfers between the two sources, providing the alternate
source is within acceptable voltage limits and phase tolerances with the preferred source. You begin a
manual transfer by selecting the inactive source as the preferred source. On a manual transfer, the
STS2/PDU transfers between the two sources with less than one (1) millisecond interruption of power
to the load. The transfer can only be completed when both sources are available and synchronized
within the user-adjustable phase synchronization window. For sources where the two frequencies are
not exactly in phase, manually-initiated transfers are delayed by the STS2/PDU until the two sources
are within the defined phase synchronization window.
Source selection can also be done remotely using the Remote Source Selection option, if installed.
9.1.3 Automatic Transfer/Retransfer
If the preferred source is out of voltage and/or frequency limits, the load is automatically transferred
to the alternate source. The default transfer voltage limits comply with the limits of the
IEEE Std. 446-1995 computer voltage tolerance envelope.
If the unit is so configured, the load is retransferred automatically to the preferred source after the
preferred source returns to within the acceptable voltage and frequency limits for at least the defined
retransfer time delay and is in phase with the alternate source. You can enable and disable automatic
retransfer to the preferred source through a user configuration setting.
Automatic Retransfer Inhibited
If the system makes five transfers from the preferred source to the alternate source in a five minute
period, automatic retransfers back to the preferred source is disabled.
To clear this alarm condition, you must assign the alternate source as the preferred source. Also, the
on setting the UV detection.
This alarm also is cleared if the unit transfers to the preferred source due to an alternate source AC
volt failure (i.e., an emergency transfer.)
72

Theory of Operation
9.1.4 Emergency Transfer
To ensure that power remains connected to the load, the STS2/PDU automatically performs an emer-
gency transfer from one input source to the other when an outage occurs on the existing source.
The automatic transfer takes place if the other source’s voltage is within acceptable limits and regard-
less of the phase difference between the two sources.
Emergency transfers occur with a loss of power on the output of less than 4 ms.
Emergency transfers from the alternate source to the preferred source are not affected by the Auto
Retransfer Enabled/Disabled or Retransfer Delay user settings.
9.1.5 Load Current Transfer Inhibit
The STS2/PDU senses the load current. If the load current exceeds the preset level deemed to repre-
sent a load inrush or fault condition, the unit’s logic disables manual and automatic transfers, even if
the selected source’s input voltage is outside the acceptable limits. This event triggers an I-Peak
alarm. If so configured, the Load Current Transfer Inhibit is automatically reset after the current and
voltage return to within normal parameters. This reset provides continued protection against a
source failure. The Load Current Transfer Inhibit also can be programmed to require a manual reset.
9.1.6 SCR Failure
The STS2/PDU continuously monitors the status of the SCR switching devices for proper operation.
In the event of a shorted SCR on the input source powering the load, the STS2/PDU automatically
triggers an alarm and trips open the other source isolation breaker. In the event of a shorted SCR on
the other input source, the STS2/PDU automatically triggers an alarm and trips open the other
source isolation breaker.
In the event of an open SCR, the switch automatically triggers an alarm and transfers the load to the
other source. All open and shorted SCR alarm conditions are latched and require the system to be
repaired and reset to restore normal operation.
9.1.7 On/Off Sequence
The STS2/PDU contains no master On/Off push button control. When connected to the input sources,
the unit’s logic power comes on automatically. The touch screen display is active as long as at least
one input source is energized and the Control Power Disconnect (located inside the static switch) is
closed.
9.2
Detailed Component Description
9.2.1 Controls
Operator Interface
The STS2/PDU Color Graphical Display unit contains a touch screen color LCD to provide the opera-
tor interface to control and configure the operation of the unit and quickly diagnose problems. A pass-
word and an optional keylock, if installed, are provided for security.
Hardware
• The STS2/PDU operator interface in the Color Graphical Display unit is designed to provide all of
the information required to configure and monitor the unit’s operation.
• The control logic performs automatic operations with minimal operator interface.
• Each STS2/PDU unit is equipped with a color LCD touch screen.
Communication Interfaces for more information on communication options.

Theory of Operation
Firmware
The operator interface enables you to monitor the STS2/PDU, to configure setpoints for transfers,
monitor system parameters and access event and history logs. The firmware is accessible through the
LCD touch screen or the RS-232 interface. The firmware includes:
• View and set the preferred source.
• View and configure setpoints.
• View alarms, faults and status.
• The mimic graphical representation of the systems operation.
• Menu driven monitoring and configuration.
• Step-by-step instructions to assist you in the start-up, shut-down and bypass operations.
• Help on event messages.
• Touch screen alarm reset and silence buttons.
Events in the system, both faults and alarms, are detected and displayed on the LCD. See 11.0 -
Alarms and Faults for more information on events.
• A set of event masks can be configured through the LCD to trigger a system response to an event.
• Report event conditions from other components of the system.
• Monitor and report changes in event condition states. If the event condition’s state changes from
inactive to active, a new event is detected. If the transition is from active to inactive, the event
condition has cleared.
• Process new faults and alarms and clear inactive alarms.
• Provide the alarm reset and silence options.
9.2.2 Circuit Breakers and Non-Automatic Circuit Breakers
Input circuit breaker for each source provides over current protection for the STS2/PDU. Three non-
automatic circuit breakers provide total isolation of the solid-state switching devices with an input
non-automatic breaker for each source and a load isolation non-automatic breaker. Two non-automatic
breakers provide for maintenance bypassing of the solid-state switching devices to either input source.
All breakers in the STS2/PDU are plug-in types, which allows any breaker to be replaced without de-
energizing the output bus. The breakers have an interlock in the plug-in base, which prevents the
switch from being withdrawn in the CLOSED position. The switch trips OPEN before it disconnects
from the plug-in base.
9.2.3 SCRs
Brick-type SCRs are used rated to carry the full 100% rated load. The unit is a fuseless design with
input circuit breakers providing overcurrent protection.
9.2.4 Logic Modules
The logic contains three separate redundant logic modules. The modules contain the logic necessary
to run the STS2/PDU and control transfers and shunt trips under all circumstances, without any out-
side assistance once set-up and started properly.
9.2.5 Audible Alarm
An audible alarm is installed on the control board. This alarm is triggered by an alarm condition
detected on the unit. The alarm can be turned off from the touch screen. Turning off the audible alarm
does not clear or reset the condition that triggered the alarm.
9.2.6 RS-232 Port
An RS-232 serial port is provided to allow an external terminal to be connected as another user inter-

10.4 Maintenance Bypass
The STS2/PDU is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow man-
ual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for mainte-
removed from the static transfer switch electronics to facilitate safe repair, without de-energizing the
load using a make-before-break switching sequence.
However, the unit can be bypassed using a make-before-break switching sequence only to the same
source to which that the switch is connected, as indicated by the highlighted static transfer switch box
on the Mimic screen.
In the event of source or switch failure, the unit should be bypassed only to the current input source.
For convenience, instructions for the bypass procedure can be displayed on the touch screen by select-
ing the BYP. PROC option from the menu bar.
The Mimic is used to verify the status of the unit during the bypass procedures. In the unlikely event
that the Color Graphical Display is not available, open the front door and look through the slots in the
control door. If you can see green LEDs on the gate driver board through that slot, then the unit is

Alarms and Faults
11.0 ALARMS AND FAULTS
Alarms and faults are events that are triggered when the operation of the Static Transfer Switch 2
Power Distribution Unit falls outside of the defined parameters. These events can also be triggered
by: user actions, such as changing configurations, clearing logs, etc.; failed components such as a fan
failure, an SCR that is open or shorted, etc.; and system status, such as open circuit breakers, load on
alternate source, etc. These events can provide a warning or trigger the system to make a change,
such as switch sources or the recording of a history log.
The STS2/PDU monitoring system detects and annunciates a comprehensive set of fault and alarm
conditions. Faults and alarm messages are can be viewed on the LCD touch screen or via the RS-232
port.
On the LCD touch screen, the events are shown in the Status Display panel in the lower left corner of
the touch screen and written to the Event log. You can touch a message to view a definition of an
the touch screen.
event logs and alarm and fault lists.
Event actions can be triggered by the settings configured from the Event Masks. See 11.1 - Event
Mask for more information.
Faults — A fault indicates that a component of the STS2/PDU has failed or has been damaged. In the
Event Display, faults are indicated in red.
Alarms — An alarm is an event caused by a significant abnormal system condition. In the Event Dis-
play, alarms are indicated in yellow. The setpoints for many of the alarms are configurable through
the User Settings. Many alarms clear themselves when the condition is resolved. If an alarm event
mask is set to latch, the alarm messages remain active until the alarm condition has been corrected
When the system is furnished with an optional internal or external modem and a telephone line is
connected to the modem, the system can be programmed to automatically dial out upon occurrence of
any of certain designated alarms. The auto-dial feature can be configured for alarms using the Event
setting up your modem.
11.1 Event Mask
The STS2/PDU gathers, processes and reports faults and alarms, collectively referred to below as
events. The Event Mask dialog box allows you to set the system’s response for specific alarms and
faults that are generated.
The following mask types are available for each event:
• Latch — If a latch is enabled for the selected event, that event remains active even if the originat-
ing event condition clears. A latched event may only be cleared by pushing the RESET button.
• Dial Out — If the selected event is triggered, the system automatically calls the specified tele-
phone numbers through the modem. For example, a page could be sent or an event could be sent
tion on configuring communications options.
• Event Log — The selected event is date/time stamped and recorded to the Event Log when the
event is triggered.
• Audible — If the selected event is triggered, an audible beeper or horn is sounded by the
STS2/PDU. The beeper continues while this event is active or latched or until the SILENCE but-
ton is pushed.

mands used to access the logs.
11.2.1 Event Log
The events are tracked in sequence of occurrence. The sequence of occurrence is identified by date,
time and frame number. The last 512 events are stored in a nonvolatile memory and can be viewed
from the Event Log.
Event logs wrap, meaning when the log is full, the oldest event is deleted when a new event is written
to the log.
The Event Log tracks:
• # — the sequence number in which the event occurred since the log was last cleared.
• Message — the event that occurred, such as Ambient Over temp., Source 1 Fail, etc.
events.
• ID — the event identifier.
• Date and Time — when the event occurred.
• Faults — the number of fault events logged.
• Alarms — the number of alarm events logged.
• User Alarms — the number of alarm events logged that were triggered by user-created alarms,
such as those alarms created with the Input Contact Isolator settings.
• Total — the sum of all the events currently logged.

Alarms and Faults
11.2.2 History Log
When a designated major alarm occurs, the History Status buffer is frozen, capturing 64 sequential frames
before and after the alarm condition. When the History Status buffer is frozen, a History Log is created.
Two History Logs are available to track major alarms. This log includes the triggering event plus the
surrounding events and the system voltages, currents, frequency, power, source selection and breaker
positions at the time of the event. The History Log displays the 64 sequential frames, in 4-millisecond
intervals, of the Present Status screens surrounding the event.
If you are viewing the log from the touch screen, the Mimic and the Event Display show the data that
was present as the alarm was triggered. The data is displayed as frames are played.
The History Log allows you to replay the events leading up to the alarm and the events right after the
alarm to see the status of the switch at that time and diagnose the cause of the alarm. The History
Log is triggered when certain events are tripped that have the Freeze option enabled.
You can run through the frames sequentially. The sequence of the events is identified by date, time
and frame number. The History Log frames are stored in a nonvolatile memory buffer that is continu-
ously overwritten until a designated fault condition occurs. When the fault occurs to trigger a freeze,
the History Log stores the next 23 frames, then freezes until it is reset. The History Log then keeps 40
frames before the fault, the frame where the fault occurred, plus the next 23 frames.
The History Log should not be reset until the fault condition that caused the buffer to freeze is
reviewed and investigated by a qualified service technician. After the alarm condition has been cor-
rected, the History Log can be cleared.
The History Log has the following fields:
• Replay Rate — indicates how long it takes for the replay to play. Use the UP and DOWN buttons
to set the time.
• Status — the status of the STS2/PDU at the point of the current frame in the replay. The History
log has three statuses: Frozen, Not Frozen and Retrieving Data, please stand by.
• Critical Event — The event which triggered this log to be written. The event is indicated in red on
the bar graph.
• Frame Number — the current frame in the replay. A negative number indicates the replay is at a
point before the triggering event occurred.
11.3 Alarm Notes
The I-PK on Source 1 and I-PK on Source 2 alarms inhibit automatic transfer due to an overload or
load fault. These alarms can be set for either auto or manual alarm reset.
In the auto reset mode, the alarm is reset as soon as the load current and source voltage return to are
inhibited until the conditions return to normal and the user manually presses the RESET button. In
either case, the cause of the Source 1 or Source 2 Ipeak overload should be investigated and resolved
(such as by reducing the overload condition or clearing the output fault) before returning the switch to
normal operation.
These events indicate a device failure. The device must be replaced and the system must be restarted
for the fault to clear. A shorted SCR automatically trips open a source input switch (CB1 or CB2) to pre-
vent transfers in the event of an SCR failure. The SCR failure must be investigated and repaired before
returning the switch to normal operation. Both source input switches must be opened (such as when
the unit is placed in maintenance bypass for servicing) before a shorted or open SCR alarm can be reset.
11.4 List of Messages
Table 12 lists available event messages, a definition of the event and the functions that are activated
with the event by default. The functions are indicated as follows:
D — The indicated event initiates the Auto-Dial sequence through the optional modem.
A — The indicated event activates the Audible alarm.
F — The indicated event triggers a Freeze of the History Log.
L — The indicated event Latches. A latched alarm remains displayed until the alarm condition
has cleared and the RESET button has been pressed.
All of these functions, except Freeze, can be reconfigured to trigger for each event, using the Event Mask

Communication Interfaces
12.0 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES
The STS2/PDU monitoring system offers several choices for communications.
The RS-232 terminal port is standard on all units. The port is inside the front door, to the left of the
touch screen front panel mounting as shown in Figure 55. This port is primarily used as an alternate
user interface to configure, control and diagnose the system. Commands for the RS-232 port are
Several other communications options are also available. Those options are located a Communica-
Connections to the communication ports are made by wiring to terminal boards located in the Com-
munications compartment. The communications options listed below reference the control wiring
drawing for each option.
• Internal modem (optional) — the connection to this modem is through a standard RJ-11 port. This
port automatically dials the programmed telephone number when a designated alarm occurs.
Automatic dial attempts are made to the first phone number at periodic intervals for 30 minutes.
After that time, auto dial attempts are made to the second phone number at periodic intervals for
the next 30 minutes. The process is repeated until a successful connection is made.
Upon successful connection, the system transmits the status information and then hangs up. Sys-
tem status and history information can be requested and date and time can be changed through
on the internal modem.
• Network Interface Card (NIC) (optional) — the NIC provides connectivity to any TCP/IP-based
Ethernet network to allow the device to communicate with network management systems (NMS)
via SNMP. Events can be transmitted to the NMS to provide remote status monitoring, plus fault
and alarm detection. The NIC includes an RJ-45 port for an Ethernet connection, via Category 5
cable.
The NIC can also integrate the system with an existing Building Management System (BMS) or
out-of-band monitoring, using Modbus, a standard multi-drop protocol. The NIC has redundant
communication paths that make it possible to connect to a BMS using Modbus while simulta-
neously communicate to a NMS through SNMP
OpenComms Network Interface Card installation and user guide.
• Input Contact Isolator (ICI) Board (optional) — provides an interface for up to eight user inputs.
External messages and alarms can be routed to the unit, via the ICI. See Configuring the Input
Contact Isolator Settings on page 108 for instructions on configuring the connections. See
Figure 51 for wiring details.
• Programmable relay board (PRB) (optional) — up to two PRBs can be installed in the STS2/PDU
to route STS2/PDU events to external devices. See Configuring the Programmable Relay
Board Settings on page 109 for default settings and instructions for reconfiguring the relays.
• Comms Board (optional) — includes a terminal block to provide a DTE connection to an external
modem. This board also provides a direct connection to a SiteScan terminal, via an RS-422.
SiteLink-12 or SiteLink-4 is required for SiteScan to communicate with the STS2/PDU. See
Figure 52 for wiring details.
Data link requirements are Full Duplex Asynchronous RS-232 format.

12.1 Using the RS-232 Port
The RS-232 port is configured with a baud rate of 9600 with 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity and no
hardware handshaking.
12.1.1 Connecting and Using a Terminal
An RS-232 connection can be used to connect the STS2/PDU to either a terminal or a PC running terminal
emulation software. If you are unsure of the cable pin out, see 14.2.10 - Terminal Port Connections.
1. Connect the terminal to the STS2/PDU by plugging the cable from the terminal into the RS-232
port. This connection can be made at any time.
2. After making the connection, verify the communications link by pressing <ENTER> on the
terminal keyboard.
The interface communications system responds as indicated below:
Repeating command -->
Illegal command!
<?> or <HELP?> displays the RS-232 command set
<?> <command> or <HELP?> <command> displays specific help for the command SVTP-Control>
The SVTP-Control > prompt indicates that RS-232 communications are established.
• If you receive no response or prompt, verify that the connector is properly plugged into the port
and the PC or terminal serial interface is working properly.

12.1.2 Configuring the STS2/PDU via the Terminal
The SPT command is used to configure the systems setpoints. The SVT syntax for the setpoints con-
sists for four parameters:
SPT [group] [item] [value] where the parameters are:
• SPT — is the terminal command that is used to configure setpoints.
• group — the group under the setpoint command which contains the desired settings.
• item — the item number within the selected group.
• value — the desired value for this item.
Only the specific options words listed in this section use a hexadecimal value. Other settings, depend-
ing on what they are, use other input types. For example, System ID uses a text string; nominal volt-
ages and currents use standard numeric integers; and modem baud rate uses an enumeration where
0 = 2400, 1 = 9600, & 2 = 19200 bps.
NOTE
Spaces are placed between each parameter, but not between characters or numbers in a parameter.
Using an underline here to represent a space, an example of a the syntax is: SPT_2_6_0081. The value
parameter is 0081.
This section provides instructions for setting these parameters, with an example of building an SPT
command for System and User settings.
Groups Parameter
The setpoints are grouped for ease of configuration. For example, Event Masks are group 4 and Sys-
tem Settings are group 2. The numbers shown below are entered for the group parameter. For exam-
ple, start of a System Settings command is SPT 2.
The group parameters are:
1 = System Ratings
2 = System Settings
3 = User Settings
4 = Event Mask Settings
For example, the start of a System Settings command is SPT 2, where SPT is the system setpoints
command and 2 is the group parameter for System Settings.
parameters.
Item Parameter
numbers are also displayed on the terminal when you list the configuration setting for a particular
group.
Continuing with the example, to configure an Options_1 setting under System Settings, the command
would begin with SPT 2 6 where 6 is the value Options_1. Note the space between each parameter.

12.1.3 Setting Bitpacked Options With the Terminal
Five sets of options and features settings are available through the terminal to control the system
operation.
Under System Settings for the SPT command, these items denote which options are INSTALLED:
• 6 — Options_1
• 14 — Comms Options 1
• 15 — Comms Options 2
Under User Settings, for the SPT command, these items denote which features are ENABLED:
• 17 — Critical Option Enabling
• 18 — Non-Critical Option Enabling
The value parameter settings are in the form of a bit-packed word (in hexadecimal notation). In other
words, each bit indicates a particular setting for the option or feature. The bit assignments for the
options and features are as follows:
Options_1
bit0 —HasDualOutputBreaker
bit1 — HasPDU
bit2 — Has4PoleTransferSwitch
bit3 — HasShuntTrip
bit4 — HasWyeOutputXfmr
bit5 — HasExternalPrecisionTimeSource
bit6 — HasSFA

Critical Option Enabling
• bit0—EnableManual_IPeakReset
• bit1—EnableAutoRestart
• bit2 through bit15 - not used (set to 0)
Non-Critical Option Enab
bit0 — EnableAutoReXfer
bit1 through bit15 — not used (set to 0)
The bits are set in reverse order, from bit 15 on the left to bit 0 (zero) on the right. The bits are
grouped in four sets of four bits each, as such:
0000 0000 0000 0000
|................................|
bit 15.........................bit 0
Since each bit represents a setting, a bit can be enabled or disabled:
• 1 = installed option or enabled feature
OR
• 0 = option not installed or feature not enabled
Enabling or disabling the bits in each group creates a binary value for that group. For example, if the
fourth bit in a group is set to 1, the group’s binary value is 0001.
Each group is translated into a hexadecimal equivalent. The group with the value of 0001 has a hex
equivalent of 1.

The hex value for each group is entered in the command as four digits.
To summarize the procedure:
1. Set each bit position.
2. Convert the binary value each group into its hex equivalent.
3. Enter the hex values for each group, in order, into the command for the value parameter.
The following example explains how the conversion is completed.

Putting the Terminal Command Together
For example, a unit only has the Remote Source Selection and Dual-Output Breaker options installed.
that these options are installed.
The bit setting is as follows, starting with bit 15 on the left and going down to bit 0:
0000 0000 1000 0001
With the bits combined in groups of four, the binary settings can be translated into hexadecimal val-
ues.
The first two groups in the sample equal zero (0). In the third group, 1000 in binary translates to 8 in
hex. In the fourth group, 0001 in binary translates to 1 in hex.
In hex, this equates to (digits in the value parameter cannot have spaces between them):
0081
So your command to indicate that the Remote Source Selection and the Dual-Output Breaker are
installed would be:
SPT 2 6 0081
12.1.4 Setting Event Masks with the Terminal
The event masks can be customized via a terminal. The command SPT4?<ENTER> displays all faults
and alarms, along with their associated event masks. A plus sign (+) means that particular event
mask is enabled, while a minus sign (-) means that mask is disabled.
Unlike the System and User Settings, mask values are set by designated letters, not hex values.
However, as with other RS-232 interface settings, four parameters are passed. See 12.1.2 - Configur-
ing the STS2/PDU via the Terminal for more details about the parameters.
The syntax for configuring event masks is:
SPT 4 ID ±D±L±S±E±A
• SPT — is the terminal command used to configure setpoints.
• 4 — setting (group parameter) for event masks, under System Settings.
• ID — event ID. The ID is the item parameter for this command. The ID numbers for each event
• D,L,S,E,A — the event masks: Dial, Latch, Summary, Event log and Audible. The masks are the
value parameter for the command.
Each mask type must be preceded by a plus sign (+) to enable it or by a minus sign (-) to disable it.
NOTE
NO spaces are placed between each mask listed above.
Only the mask that is passed (enabled) is applied when the event occurs.
To set the event masks for a particular event:
1. Enter the command. Examples and descriptions are provided below.
2. Press ENTER.
After the new settings are entered, the new results for that event ID are displayed.

Communication Interfaces
Examples of Event Mask Settings
• To latch event #001, S1 SCR SHORT, use SPT 4 1 +L.
• To disable event #128, CONFIG MODIFIED, from sounding the horn, use SPT 4 100 -A.
• To enable event #012, OUT VOLT SENSE FAIL, to Dial and go into the Event Log, use
SPT 4 12 +D+E.
• To disable all masks for event #120, INPUT CONTACT #1, use SPT 4 120 -D-L-S-E-A.
• To breakdown this syntax for the last example:
• SPT — SVT command
• 4 — group parameter, identifying System Setting group under which the Event Mask settings
reside.
• 120 — item parameter. In this command, that is the event ID.
• -D-L-S-E-A — value parameter. In this case, the minus sign (-)disables all masks for the INPUT
CONTACT #1 event.

13.3 Mimic Display
The Mimic display provides a color diagram of the operation of the STS2/PDU. This display imitates
the power flow through the Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution Unit and indicates source
status, breaker status, switch status, source voltage and current readings, output power measure-
13.4 Event Controls
The STS 2 detects events when certain thresholds are passed or certain problems occur. The alarm
controls allow you to acknowledge the existence of these events.
• RESET — All latched events whose conditions have cleared are removed from the Event Display.
Faults and alarms that remain active or are not recoverable are not affected when this button is
selected. This button is also used to perform manual I-Peak resets and manual retransfers.
• SILENCE — turns off the audible alarm (horn or beeper) without resetting the triggering event.
This setting does not permanently turn off the horn. The alarm sounds again when the next event
with an audible alarm setting is triggered.
Active events are shown in the Event Display, whereas cleared events can be reviewed via the Event
Log.
13.5 Event Display
The Event Display lists the condition of the STS2/PDU in real-time. Both nominal system parameters

Source Setpoints
The Source 1/2 Setpoints allows you to configure trigger points for each input source (1 or 2) for the
STS2/PDU via a keypad dialog or HI/LO dialog box. The source numbers do not designate the source
as the preferred or alternate source. The numbers simply identify the input source. See 10.2 - Man-
ual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection to set the preferred source.
The Setpoints are based on values in relation to the nominal voltage required for the STS2/PDU. UV
refers to under voltage, meaning the amount of voltage below the nominal voltage. OV refers to over
voltage or the amount of voltage over the nominal voltage.
• Fast UV Setting (%) — if the voltage drops below this set percentage of the nominal voltage, the
STS2/PDU transfers from the current source to the opposite source.
• Slow UV Setting (%) — if the voltage remains this set percentage below the nominal voltage for
the period of the slow detection delay, the STS2/PDU transfers from the current source to the
opposite source.
• Slow UV detection delay — the number of cycles that the source must remain below the Slow UV
Setting before the STS2/PDU transfers.
• OV Setting (%) — if the voltage exceeds this set percentage of the nominal voltage for the period
of the OV detection delay, the STS2/PDU transfers from the current source to the opposite source.
• OV Detection Delay — the number of cycles that the source must remain above the OV Setting
before the STS2/PDU transfers sources.
• I-PK Xfer Lockout — if current from the source exceeds this threshold, the STS2/PDU disables
source transfers and has to be reset either manually or automatically. The type of reset is config-
ured under the User Settings.

14.1.7 Surge Suppression
The static transfer switch is equipped with transient voltage surge suppression on each input for
surge suppression. The surge suppression is capable of protecting the static transfer switch from
operating outside of tolerances due to surges as defined by IEC 1000-4-5 (1.2/50uS surge, 2kV CM and
1kV DM) as required under EN 50091-2. Optional surge suppression modules (TVSS) are available
for each input of the STS2/PDU for surge protection of the transformers.
14.1.8 Response Time
A dual level fast/slow transfer threshold is used for under voltage detection to allow the STS2/PDU to
be compatible with UPSs and generators. The voltage thresholds and the slow transfer delay time is
user-adjustable. The fast transfer delay time is less than 4 ms.
The over voltage detection uses a single threshold, with programmable level and delay time. See User

Specifications
14.2.4 Access
The STS2/PDU is designed so repairs and maintenance can be done from the front, side or top of the
unit. All components that may need repair or replacement during routine field maintenance are
safely accessed with the units in bypass without removing power from the unit. These components
include:
• All electronic PCB assemblies
• Power supply assemblies
• All control fuses
• All circuit breaker plug-in modules
• Fans
• SCRs
All power connections are designed to maintain proper connection torque over the lifetime of the unit
without any maintenance. The integrity of the connections can be checked via infrared scanning
safely from the front or top of the unit.
All other components including transformers, power cables and connections, circuit breaker bases,
etc., are replaceable from the front, rear or top of the unit, but this requires all power to be removed
from the unit for safety. Although routine re-torquing of the power connections is not required, if
maintenance of these connections is needed, complete removal of power is required from the unit for
safety reasons.
WARNING
!
Lethal voltages exist inside the unit during normal operation. Only qualified service
personnel should perform maintenance on the Static Transfer Switch 2 Power Distribution
Unit.
The unit is supplied by more than one power source. The unit contains hazardous voltages if
any of the input sources is on, even when the unit is in bypass. To isolate the unit, turn off and
lock out all input power sources.
Verify that all input power sources are de-energized and locked out before making connections
inside unit.
14.2.5 Circuit Breakers
The STS2/PDU is equipped with two input plug-in circuit breakers and five or six (if CB3A is used)
molded-case, plug-in, non-automatic circuit breakers. The breakers are UL listed for use up to
600VAC and CE marked. The plug-in feature of the breaker includes an interlock, which prevents the
breaker from being unplugged without being in the OFF (open) position.
Mechanical interlocks are provided on the breakers to prevent improper maintenance bypassing of
the solid-state switch. A bypass breaker cannot be closed unless the solid-state switch is connected to
the same input source and only one bypass breaker can be closed at a time. All breakers are equipped
with N.O. and N.C. auxiliary switches for monitoring of the breaker positions. The two solid-state
static switch input breakers are equipped with 48 VDC shunt trips to allow for control by the STS2/
14.2.6 Cable Entrance
Removable conduit termination plates are provided in the top and bottom of the STS2/PDU for termi-

16.3 Changing the Air Filter
A standard furnace filter is installed behind the air intake in the front door. The air intake allows air
to circulate to cool the unit. Replace the filter when it becomes dirty and impedes air flow. The fre-
quency of changing or cleaning the filter depends on the location in which the unit is located. The size
of the filter is 1 x 25 x 25 in. (254 x 635 x 635mm).
