2.0 UNPACKING AND INSPECTIONS  
NOTE  
Read the entire manual before installing and operating the unit. Upon receipt of the Liebert  
STS2, the installer should perform the following steps to assure a high-quality installation.  
A high-quality installation begins on the receiving dock. The Liebert STS2 and its packaging should  
be inspected when the unit is delivered. If the packaging is not damaged, unpack the unit and conduct  
an internal inspection before beginning the installation process. This section discusses the inspecting  
and unpacking of the Liebert STS2.  
2.1  
External Inspections  
1. While the Liebert STS2 is still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container(s) for  
any signs of damage or mishandling. Do not attempt to install the system if damage is apparent.  
2. Upon receipt and before unpacking, inspect the shipping crate for damage or mishandling. Check  
the Shock-Watchindicator.  
• If the indicator is red, note on shipper’s receipt and check for concealed damage.  
• If any damage as a result of shipping is observed, file a damage claim with the shipper within  
24 hours and contact Emerson Network Power Liebert Services at 1-800-543-2378 or your  
local Emerson representative to inform them of the damage claim and the condition of the  
equipment.  
3. Locate the bag containing the keys for the front access door. The bag is attached to the cabinet.

Power and Control Wiring  
5.0 POWER AND CONTROL WIRING  
All power and control wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. All power and control  
wiring must comply with the NEC and applicable local codes. Unless otherwise labeled, use the  
recommended tightening torque as shown in Table 24 - Torque tightening.  
The busbars are accessible through the front of the Liebert STS2 and designed to allow one-handed  
tightening.  
Cables can be installed through the top or bottom of the unit through removable conduits plates.  
See Figures 5 through 10 for wiring entrance locations.  
Input wiring also can be installed under a raised floor to optional input junction boxes and cables,  
when used.  
5.1  
Input And Output Power Connections  
If the unit is furnished with input junction boxes, the input power connections are made to the input  
power terminals located in the junction boxes. Input power cables, furnished with the input junction  
boxes, are shipped unattached to the unit for connection between the junction boxes and the bus bars  
provided inside the unit. Input junction box installation is discussed in 5.2 - Input Junction Box  
If input junction boxes are not furnished, the input power connections are made to the bus bars  
provided inside the unit. These bus bars are accessible through the front of the unit.  
Output power connections also are made to the bus bars provided inside the unit. These bus bars are  
accessible through the front of the unit. See Figures 14 to 19 for details on the bus bars.  
WARNING  
!
Risk of electric shock  
Verify that all input power and control circuits are de-energized and locked out before making  
connections inside unit.  
The two input power feeds (sources) to the Liebert STS2 should be from two independent sources to  
avoid a common source failure.  
To ensure proper operation of the Liebert STS2, the two input sources must be the same nominal  
voltage level and phase rotation.  
For uninterrupted automatic transfer, the two input sources should be synchronized within 15 degrees.  
CAUTION  
!
Risk of unit damage.  
The input sources to the static switch must be grounded-wye sources. Input sources other  
than solidly grounded-wye sources may cause damage to the switch.  
The Liebert STS2 is designed for operation with 3- or 4-wire, solidly grounded sources only.  
For 4-wire operation, the common source neutral must be connected to the Liebert STS2. See  
Figure 3 on page 10 for a typical one-line diagram. Refer to Figures 14 to 19 for electrical field  
connections on all units, with both single and dual output breakers.

OUTPUT  
The input and output power wire size should be based on the upstream overcurrent protection device,  
observing the NEC and local codes.  
The molded case switches contained in the Liebert STS2 are typically non-automatic circuit breakers  
that rely on the upstream and/or load overcurrent protection. Upstream overcurrent protection  
should be rated equal to or less than the rating of the Liebert STS2 molded case switches.  
The Liebert STS2 input and output power and ground and neutral bus bars accommodate a wide  
range of wire sizes. The Liebert STS2 bus bars accommodates standard 2 hole lugs.

5.2  
Input Junction Box Installation—Optional  
The input junction box option is available to simplify input connections to the Liebert STS2. Two  
input junction boxes and the associated flexible 10 foot long (3 meter) input cables are provided with  
this option.  
This option is available only with bottom cable entrance, typically when the unit is located on a raised  
floor.  
If the input junction boxes will be used, they may be shipped either with the unit or in advance to be  
installed during the rough-in stage of construction.  
Locate the junction boxes a maximum of 8 feet (2.4 meters) from the planned location of the Liebert  
STS2.  
Due to a lack of clearance for the cables below the unit, the cables are also shipped loose from the unit  
for installation at the site. The input cables connect from the input junction boxes to the input power  
bus bars inside the Liebert STS2.  
The standard configuration for the input junction boxes and cables is for 3-wire-plus-ground feeds. If  
the input neutral is required, special 4-wire-plus-ground input cables and junction boxes are required.  
See Figure 29 for wiring details.

Power and Control Wiring  
5.3  
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.  
4-Wire-Plus-Ground Systems — When 4-wire-plus-ground input feeds are utilized, the input power  
sources must be properly grounded. Because the neutral is not switched by the Liebert STS2, the  
neutrals of the two power sources are solidly interconnected. The NEC prohibits grounding a power  
source at more than one point. Connecting the neutrals of two grounded power sources together  
effectively grounds each of the sources at more than one point, which allows neutral current to flow on  
the ground system, defeats ground fault protection, creates a safety hazard, and violates the NEC.  
Where possible, the two power sources should be located in close proximity and a single  
neutral-to-ground bond made (as shown in Figure 4 on page 12 or as is typical with a double-  
ended substation).

5.5  
Remote Source Selection Wiring  
An optional Remote Source Selection board may be installed in your Liebert STS2. This board is  
installed in the same bay as the communications options. See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of  
these options. See Figure 23 for information on the control wiring for the Remote Source Selection  
option.  
The Remote Source Selection allows you choose the preferred input source from a remote location.  
Terminal connections allow the customer to remotely select a source to be the preferred source in the  
same process as the local source transfer selection.  
The unit’s preferred source selection and Remote Source Selection are active at the same time, with  
the Liebert STS2 following the last request for a preferred source change, regardless of whether it  
was from the local or Remote Source Selection controls.  
A six pin terminal block provides the Remote Source Selection connections. Two pairs of wires are  
used from the switch to trigger the source selection. You can select the type of switch used for this  
remote control. Connections are made to four of the connections, using Form A dry contacts. The  
contacts are numbered left to right:

6.0 OPTIONS  
This section discusses the options available for the Liebert STS2. The communications options are  
also discussed in 12.0 - Communication Interfaces.  
6.1  
Programmable Relay Board  
The Programmable Relay Board (PRB) provides a means to trigger an external device when an event  
occurs in the Liebert STS2. Each PRB has eight channels. Each channel has two sets of Form-C dry  
contacts, rated 1 Amp @ 30 VDC or 250 mAmp @ 125VAC.  
Any alarm/event can be programmed to any channel or channels. Up to ten (10) events can be  
programmed to a relay. If multiple events are grouped to one relay, group the events logically to  
simplify troubleshooting when an event is triggered. The same alarm/event can be programmed to  
more than one channel. Up to two Programmable Relay Boards can be installed in the Liebert STS2  
for a total of 16 channels. Programming is performed through the touch screen display.  
instructions for reconfiguring the relays. See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of the PRB. See

6.2  
Optimized Transfer  
When the Liebert STS2 is used as a primary-side switch—on the primary of an isolation  
transformer—optimized transfer greatly reduces the transformer magnetization current during  
automatic transfers through a new transfer control algorithm. The Liebert algorithm optimizes the  
transfer timing so that the volt-seconds applied to the downstream transformer primary is balanced,  
minimizing peak saturation current.  
The volt-second balance is achieved by directly computing the volt-second applied to the transformer  
during transfer events and determining the optimum time to turn on the alternate source SCRs in  
order to balance the volt-second within specified tolerance.  
Optimized transfer also seeks to minimize the voltage disturbances while still maintaining  
transformer flux balance. This unique flux balance algorithm does not just wait for the balance point  
to occur, but will pulse fire the SCRs as soon as possible to minimize the voltage disruption. This  
results in far superior voltage waveforms applied to the load.

Distribution Cabinet With I-Line Panelboard—100-600A Units Only  
A distribution cabinet with a Square D I-Line panelboard offers space to plug in up to 10 three-pole  
branch circuit breakers (100A-250A). The panelboard is rated at 600A with an overall short-circuit  
rating of 100,000 AIC.  
The full-height cabinet mounts on either the right or left side of the Liebert STS2 and is fully enclosed  
with a keylock door and an accent cover that permits access to the panelboard without exposing other  
portions of the Liebert STS2.  
Input Contact Isolator Board  
The Input Contact Isolator Board (ICI) provides an Liebert STS2 module interface for up to eight  
external user alarm or message inputs to be routed through the Liebert STS2’s alarm network. The  
eight contacts are normally open dry contacts. When a contact closes, an event is triggered.  
The Input Contact Isolator options are configured through the Input Contact Isolator dialog box,  
which is accessed from the Comm Option dialog box on the touch screen display. You also can  
program the alarm messages through this dialog box. See Configuring the Input Contact Isolator  
Settings on page 96 for instructions on configuring the connections.  
See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of the ICI. See Figure 25 for wiring details.  
6.5  
Comms Board  
The Comms Board provides a communication interface to Liebert SiteScan, a site monitoring product  
and/or an external modem. Liebert SiteLink-12 or Liebert SiteLink-4 is required for Liebert  
SiteScan to communicate with the Liebert STS2.  
The Comms Board is equipped with an RS-422 communication port for communication to a Liebert  
SiteScan monitoring system using a 2-wire twisted pair for reliable communication up to 1000 meters  
(3281 feet). Information available from the RS-422 port includes the present switch status  
information, all monitoring parameters, and all active alarms.  
The Comms Board is equipped with a modem interface for remote reporting of the present switch  
status information, alarm history information, and the history of status screens that are triggered  
upon a major alarm event. The monitoring system software also supports an auto-dial feature that  
allows the system to automatically dial programmed phone numbers by way of the modem to report  
designated alarm conditions.  
Programming the Comms Board is performed through the touch screen display. See Comm  
Options on page 93 for details.  
See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of the Comms Board.  
See Figure 26 for information on the control wiring.  
6.6  
Liebert IntelliSlot® SNMP/Web/Modbus 485 Card  
A Liebert IntelliSlot SNMP/Web/Modbus 485 card enables the Liebert STS2 to communicate to a  
network management system (NMS). The card provides the internal hardware and software to  
communicate, via SNMP/Web (HTTP), to any IP-based Ethernet network through an RJ-45 connector  
using Category 5 cabling.  
The Liebert SNMP/Web/Modbus 485 card provides redundant paths for communications that make it  
possible to connect to a Building Management System (BMS) using Modbus, while simultaneously  
communicating to a NMS through SNMP/Web (HTTP). A terminal block provides the connection to  
Modbus.  
See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of the Liebert SNMP/Web/Modbus 485 card. See Figure 27  
control wiring information.

LED Display  
A light-emitting diode display is available to replace the standard liquid crystal display touch screen  
control. The display provides monitoring and control throuh a series of LEDs and buttons. LEDs alert  
you when a problem occurs. A PC running terminal emulation software connected to the RS-232 port  
is needed to access the data and configuration settings.  
Remote Source Selection  
The Remote Source Selection allows the preferred input source to be chosen from a remote location. A  
user supplied normally open dry contact allows the user to remotely select a source to be the preferred  
source in the same process as the local source transfer selection.  
The unit’s preferred source selection and Remote Source Selection are active at the same time, with  
the Liebert STS2 following the last request for a preferred source change, regardless of whether it  
was from the local or Remote Source Selection controls.  
See 10.3 - Enabling Remote Source Selection for instructions on enabling the Remote Source  
Selection.

6.9  
Key Lockout Switch  
The key lockout switch activates a software lockout of the touch screen display to prevent manual  
transfers and configuration changes. When locked out, the touch screen becomes a read only display.  
A key is needed to do manual transfers or change settings.  
The alarm silence button is not disabled when in the lockout position.  
The switch is located behind the front door but can be operated without opening the front door. See  
Figures 8 to 10 for the key lockout location on each unit.  
See 14.1.4 - Key Lockout Switch for instructions on using the key lockout switch.  
6.10 Redundant Output Breaker  
An output plug-in, non-automatic circuit breaker is provided which allows redundancy in the output  
power path. The breaker is connected in parallel with the output plug-in non-automatic circuit  
breaker.  
6.11 Transfer Inhibit  
Transfer Inhibit prevents the Liebert STS2 from transferring under certain conditions. When a  
customer-supplied closed dry contact is provided, the Liebert STS2 will not transfer and remain on its  
present source even if the source is no longer supplying power.  
This option requires an Input Contact Isolator board (see 6.4 - Input Contact Isolator Board).

Introduction to Liebert STS2 Operations  
8.0 INTRODUCTION TO LIEBERT STS2 OPERATIONS  
8.1 System Description  
A Liebert STS2 provides an automatic, seamless transfer between input power sources to an output  
load. The Liebert STS2 monitors the input sources, to ensure each source is operating within set  
parameters, as well as ensure that each source is within acceptable tolerances for a transfer between  
sources to be completed.  
The Liebert STS2 contains two static transfer switches in one enclosure to allow the unit to transfer its  
load between the two input sources without an interruption of power to the load longer than 1/4 cycle.  
If a problem is detected with a primary (Preferred) input source and defined trigger points are  
reached, the Liebert STS2 automatically switches the input to the other (Alternate) input source. The  
Liebert STS2 continues to monitor both sources and can automatically transfer the load back to the  
preferred 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 Liebert STS2 front panel contains either a Color Graphical Display on an LCD touch screen or an  
LED display.  
The Color Graphical Display provides a menu-driven operator interface, and a display of system  
information, status information, a one-line diagram (Mimic) of the Liebert STS2, active alarms, and  
alarm history information.  
The menu selections provide control of the preferred source, manual transfer initiation. Buttons  
provide 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.  
In units not equipped with the touch screen, LEDs provide the user with the ability to monitor the  
Liebert STS2 and quickly assess problems.  
Preferred input source selection, alarm reset and alarm silencing are done through buttons on the  
touch screen, or push buttons with the LED display.  
Communication options can be installed in the Color Graphical Display (LCD) unit only. These  
options provide external communication with the Liebert STS2 through a modem, a network card, a  
programmable relay board, a contact isolator, or an RS-422 port to Liebert SiteScan.  
8.1.1 Redundancy  
Redundancy within the Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 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  
necessary to run the Liebert STS2, and control all transfers.  
Redundant fans are provided if a primary fan fails. The redundant fans turn on to prevent  
overheating inside of the unit.  
Should the front panel interface fail, either touch screen or LEDs, 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) connector located next to the LCD display behind the front  
door. See Figure 28 on page 41 for details.

Introduction to Liebert STS2 Operations  
8.1.2 Reliability and Agency Requirements  
The Liebert STS2 is designed for high reliability and high availability with a critical bus Mean Time  
Between Failure (MTBF) exceeding 1,000,000 hours.  
The Liebert STS2, Control/Power Module and all its options are designed, tested and certified, where  
applicable, to meet agency requirements as follows:  
• UL 1008: Transfer Switch Equipment, for UL and ULc listing  
• UL1459: Telephone equipment (Modem)  
• NEC  
• FCC Part 15 EMI emission limits for Class A computing devices.  
The Liebert STS2 uses conservatively rated components, minimizing the need to go to maintenance  
bypass. All 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 Liebert STS2  
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 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 15.1.5 - Electrical Requirements.  
8.1.3 Factory Backup and Service Assistance  
Because improper installation can cause a system to fail, a Liebert Services service technician should  
thoroughly inspect the unit to ensure it is properly installed and its operating parameters are  
properly configured.  
Once the Liebert STS2 is properly installed, you, as the on-site operator, can easily monitor the unit’s  
operation utilizing the touch screen or LEDs.  
If you need assistance, or have questions, contact Liebert Services for technical support at  
1-800-LIEBERT (800-543-2378).  
8.2  
Modes of Operation  
8.2.1 Normal (Preferred Source)  
Under normal operating conditions, the Liebert STS2 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  
8.2.2 Transfer  
Should the preferred source fail or be outside acceptable voltage limits, the Liebert STS2 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 only allow the transfer to be  
done 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.

Introduction to Liebert STS2 Operations  
8.2.4 Bypass  
The static transfer switch 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 serviced without dangerous voltages  
being present.  
The Liebert STS2 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  
connections. Bypass instructions are available from the touch screen and are discussed later in this  
manual.  
8.3  
Operator Controls  
The Liebert STS2 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  
define events. See Figure 44 below and Figure 30. The touch screen menus allow the operator to  
initiate source transfers, view event and history logs, and view bypass and other operational  
instructions.  
Figure 44 Liebert STS2 touch screen display  
Mimic  
Event controls  
Event Display  
Display Panel  
and  
Help Screen  
Menu Options  
Touch screen control buttons allow you to reset alarms, silence the audible alarm, review  
configurations, event and history logs, preferred source, startup and bypass procedures, and the help  
menu. Qualified personnel, with a password, can use these menus to configure parameters, select a  
preferred source and do manual source transfers.  
LED display units do not have the color LCD touch screen. Instead of the touch screen, these units are  
monitored by a series of LEDs and controlled by a series of push buttons.  
Both units can be accessed from a terminal, or a PC running terminal emulation software, that is  
attached to the unit. Through the RS-232 access, you can monitor and configure the unit, plus  
remotely select a preferred source. See 12.1 - Using the RS-232 Port on page 76 for instructions on  
using the RS-232 interface.

Theory of Operation  
9.0 THEORY OF OPERATION  
9.1 General Description  
The Liebert STS2 contains all the equipment necessary to prevent an interruption in power flow to  
the AC load, should your primary source fail.  
9.1.1 Liebert STS2 Static Transfer Switch  
The Liebert STS2 is a 3-pole, double-throw, solid state automatic transfer switch that is fed from two  
sources. The Preferred source is the input source that normally carries the load when both sources are  
available. 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 preferred source should fail or if a manual transfer is initiated.  
The unit uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) connected in parallel, 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 transfer the  
AC load to the alternate input source should the preferred source fail. The switching action is a very  
fast, break-before-make without an interruption of power to the load longer than 1/4 cycle.  
During static switch transfers and retransfers, the conduction state of the SCRs is carefully  
monitored 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 Liebert STS2 allows manually initiated transfers between the two sources. On units without the  
Optimized Transfer option the alternate source must be 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 Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 until the two sources are within the defined phase synchronization  
window.  
The Liebert STS2 with Optimized Transfer option allows manually initiated transfer at any phase  
difference, does not require synchronization, as long as the alternate source is within acceptable  
voltage limits with the preferred source. Transfer is not delayed if the two frequencies are not in  
phase.  
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 UV detection thresholds may need adjustment. See Source Set Points on page 90 for  
instructions on setting the UV detection.

Theory of Operation  
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.)  
9.1.4 Emergency Transfer  
To ensure that power remains connected to the load, the Liebert STS2 automatically performs an  
emergency 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  
regardless of the phase difference between the two sources.  
Emergency transfers occur without an interruption of power to the load longer 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 Liebert STS2 senses the load current. If the load current exceeds the preset level deemed to  
represent 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 100  
milliseconds 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. See step 14. on page 92 under the Source Set Points  
heading for details.  
9.1.6 SCR Failure  
The Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 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 (if so equipped) is  
active as long as at least one input source is energized and the Control Power Disconnect (located  
inside the static switch) is on.

Theory of Operation  
9.2  
Detailed Component Description  
9.2.1 Controls  
Operator Interface  
The Liebert STS2 Color Graphical Display unit contains a touch screen color LCD to provide the  
operator interface to control and configure the operation of the unit and quickly diagnose problems. A  
password and an optional keylock, if installed, are provided for security.  
The LED Display unit includes push buttons for source transfer, alarm reset and audible alarm  
silence.  
Hardware  
• The Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 unit is equipped with either a color LCD touch screen or a panel of LEDs and  
push buttons.  
• The Liebert STS2 can have optional communication ports installed. See 6.0 - Options and 12.0 -  
• On LED Display units, the RS-232 interface is used for configuration and status and event log  
monitoring. The RS-232 interface can also be used with the Color Graphical Display units, if  
necessary.  
Firmware  
The operator interface enables you to monitor the Liebert STS2, to configure set points for transfers,  
monitor system parameters and access event and history logs. The firmware is accessible through the  
LCD touch screen (if installed) or the RS-232 interface. The firmware includes:  
• View and set the preferred source.  
• View and configure setpoints.  
• View alarms, faults and status.  
Additionally, the Color Graphical Display unit provides:  
• The mimic graphical representation of the systems operation.  
• Menu driven monitoring and configuration.  
• Step-by-step instructions to assist you in the startup, shutdown 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 -  
Alarm and Faults on page 71 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.

Theory of Operation  
9.2.2 Circuit Breakers  
Three circuit breakers provide total isolation of the solid-state switching devices with an input  
breaker for each source and a load isolation breaker. Two breakers provide for maintenance  
bypassing of the solid-state switching devices to either input source.  
All switches in the Liebert STS2 are plug-in types, which allows any switch 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.  
See 15.2.5 - Circuit Breakers for specifications and more information pertaining to the circuit  
breakers. See Figure 14 to Figure 19 for circuit breaker locations. The circuit breaker schedule is  
provided in Figure 20.  
9.2.3 SCRs  
Brick-type SCRs are used rated to carry the full 100% rated load. Because the unit is a fuseless design  
with non-automatic circuit breakers, overcurrent protection is provided by upstream circuit breakers.  
9.2.4 Logic Modules  
The logic contains three separate redundant logic modules. The modules contain the logic necessary  
to run the Liebert STS2 and control transfers and shunt trips under all circumstances, without any  
outside 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 (Color Graphical Display  
units) or by a push button (LED Display units). 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  
interface. See 12.1 - Using the RS-232 Port on page 76 for more information on using the RS-232  
port.

Operating Instructions for the Touch Screen Interface  
10.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE  
CAUTION  
!
Before the unit is placed into service for the first time, after equipment relocation, or after the  
equipment has been de-energized for an extended period of time, a thorough equipment  
inspection and supervised startup by qualified personnel are strongly recommended. Contact  
your local Emerson Network Power representative or Liebert Services at 1-800-543-2378 to  
arrange for equipment inspection and startup.  
After the initial equipment startup, the following operating guidelines can be used for standard  
equipment operation. These guidelines should be reviewed for any special equipment modifications,  
special site conditions, or company policies that may require changes to the standard equipment  
operation.  
All programmable functions are preset at the factory to enable the unit to be brought up without the  
need to enter all selectable parameters.

Operating Instructions for the Touch Screen Interface  
10.2 Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection  
The Source Transfer option (Source Xfers) in the touch screen menu allows you to select a preferred  
source. Transfers are only permitted when the voltage and current are within their proper operating  
range and the sources are synchronized on units without Optimized Transfer. Units with the  
Optimized Transfer option do not require the sources to be synchronized to make a manual transfer.  
The Source Transfer screen indicates the synchronization between the two sources, while the voltage  
and frequency are displayed on the Mimic. See Figure 46. Transfer is inhibited if the deviation  
exceeds the parameter set in the Source Set Points. See User Settings on page 89  
NOTE  
If one source will be de-energized for an extended period (hours or days), set the unit to bypass  
mode for the remaining source. Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch  
components for remaining source, the Liebert STS2 does not have a second source to switch to  
and the load would not receive power. See Maintenance Bypass on page 67 for bypass  
instructions.  
If your system contains the LED front panel instead of the LCD touch screen, refer to 14.2.2 -  
Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection for instructions on this procedure.

When conditions are correct, the switch transfers the load to the alternate source by selecting the  
alternate source as the preferred source.  
This source is now monitored as the preferred source throughout the various configurations set up  
through the touch screen.  
5. Verify that the correct source is designated as the preferred source and that the input source  
changes to the desired source.  
The Mimic is updated to indicate the new preferred source. The source is now highlighted with blue  
and that source is labeled as the preferred source.  
If the Transfer Inhibit message is displayed, check for alarm messages on the Active Status window.  
Correct alarm conditions before attempting a source transfer.  
NOTE  
The preferred source may also be changed via the optional Remote Source Selection option,  
thereby initiating a transfer remotely.  
10.3 Enabling Remote Source Selection  
If your system is equipped with the optional Remote Source Selection option, it must be enabled.  
If you your system includes the Color Graphical Display:  
1. Select CONFIG from the menu bar.  
2. Select SYSTEM SETTINGS from the Configuration menu.  
3. Select SYSTEM OPTIONS from the System Settings menu.  
4. Select YES for the REMOTE SOURCE SELECT choice.  
If your system contains the LED display or you are configuring the system from the RS-232 port, see  
12.1 - Using the RS-232 Port on page 76 for instructions on using the that interface.  
10.4 Maintenance Bypass  
The Liebert STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow  
manual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for  
maintenance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While  
operating on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the Liebert STS2 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  
selecting 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  
connected to the source referenced on the label below that slot. See Figure 47.

Alarm and Faults  
11.0 ALARM AND FAULTS  
Alarms and faults are events that are triggered when the operation of the Liebert STS2 falls outside  
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  
closed, 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 Liebert STS2 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  
event and a tip for troubleshooting. See 13.0 - Liebert STS2 Touch Screen Display for more  
information on the touch screen.  
If you are monitoring the system through the RS-232 port, see Table 9 - Terminal commands on  
page 77 for the commands to view 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 Liebert STS2 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  
Display, 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 and the RESET button is pushed. See 11.1 - Event Mask for more information on latching.  
When the system is furnished with an 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 Mask option in  
the touch screen. See Configuring the Modem on page 94 for instructions on for setting up your  
modem.  
11.1 Event Mask  
The Liebert STS2 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  
originating event condition clears. A latched event may only be cleared by pushing the RESET  
button (ALRMRST on the LED units).  
Dial Out — If the selected event is triggered, the system automatically calls the specified  
telephone numbers through a modem. For example, a page could be sent or an event could be sent  
to a external terminal, via a modem. See Communication Interfaces on page 76 for more  
information 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 Liebert  
STS2. The beeper continues while this event is active or latched, or until the SILENCE button  
(NOAUD on the LED units) is pushed. This button must be pushed with the ALRMRST button on  
the LED units.  
See Event Masks on page 88 for instructions on setting the mask type via the touch screen display.

Alarm and Faults  
11.2 Event and History Logs  
The system tracks events through the Events Log and tracks significant events through the History  
Logs. These logs allow you to quickly spot trends or diagnose problems that the unit may have had.  
Both logs are written in nonvolatile memory.  
The logs can be accessed from the touch screen menu or the RS-232 port. See 13.11 - Logs for more  
instructions on viewing the logs from the touch screen. See Table 9 - Terminal commands on  
page 77 for the RS-232 interface commands 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 Overtemp., Source 1 Fail, etc.  
Type — either a Fault or Alarm. See 11.0 - Alarm and Faults on page 71 for further details on  
these 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.  
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  
continuously 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  
corrected, the History Log can be cleared.

Alarm and Faults  
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 Liebert STS2 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 100 milliseconds after the load current and source voltage  
return to normal, and transfers are no longer inhibited. In manual mode, the alarm remains active  
and transfers are inhibited until the conditions return to normal and the user manually presses the  
RESET button (ALRMRST button on LED units). In either case, the cause of the Source 1 or Source 2  
I-Peak 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.  
SCR fault 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 prevent 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 8 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 a 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 (ALRMRST) button has been pressed.  
E — By default, all faults and alarms are written to the Event Log. Changing this setting is only  
available for the LED units and is set through the RS-232 port. See Setting Event Masks with  
All of these functions, except Freeze, can be reconfigured to trigger for each event, using the Event  
Mask option. See 11.1 - Event Mask on page 71. The Freeze function is hard-coded and cannot be  
changed for an event.  
If the front panel of your Liebert STS2 has LEDs and push buttons instead of the touch screen  
interface, you can view these messages via the RS-232 port. See 12.1.1 - Connecting and Using a  
Terminal on page 77 for the commands to view the event messages on a PC terminal.  
An LED is used to indicate the presence of any active fault or alarm. Refer to 14.0 - Operating the  
Liebert STS2 LED Display for more information about the LEDs.

Communication Interfaces  
12.0 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES  
The Liebert STS2 monitoring system offers several choices for communications.  
The RS-232 terminal port is standard on all units. The port is located inside the front door, to the left  
of the touch screen/LED front panel mounting as shown in Figure 28. This port is primarily used as  
an alternate user interface to configure, control, and diagnose the system, especially for systems that  
do not include the HMI touch screen. Commands for the RS-232 port are shown in Table 9.  
Several other communications options are also available. Those options are located a  
Communications compartment to the right of the touch screen/LED front panel and are accessible  
when the front panel door is open. See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of the communications  
options.  
Connections to the communication ports are made by wiring to terminal boards located in the  
Communications compartment. The communications options listed below reference the control wiring  
drawing for each option.  
• Liebert IntelliSlot SNMP/Web/Modbus 485 card (optional) — the card provides connectivity to  
any TCP/IP-based Ethernet network to allow the device to communicate with network  
management systems (NMS) via SNMP/Web(HTTP). Events can be transmitted to the NMS to  
provide remote status monitoring, plus fault and alarm detection. The card includes an RJ-45 port

12.1.2 Configuring the Liebert STS2 via the Terminal  
The SPT command is used to configure the systems setpoints. The SVT syntax for the setpoints  
consists 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,  
depending on what they are, use other input types. For example, System ID uses a text string,  
nominal voltages 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. 0081 is the value parameter.  
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  
System Settings are Group 2. The numbers shown below are entered for the group parameter. For  
example, 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.  
Event Mask parameters.  
Item Parameter  
Each setting within the group is indexed by an item number as shown below in Table 11. These item  
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.

Communication Interfaces  
Value Parameter  
Item settings, depending on what they are, use various value types. Table 10 provides a list of the  
possible value types and their description.  
Table 10 Value types  
Type  
Definition  
Numeric  
An integer numeric value in the units indicated by the item name. For example, a System Voltage  
Rating of 480 would indicate 480 volts.  
Scaled  
String  
Similar to the Numeric, this value type is an integer that has been scaled, usually to remove  
decimal points that would normally appear within the value. In this case, a value of 2.5 may actually  
be input as simply 25. For all Scaled types, the scaling appears in Table 11.  
Certain settings are represented by alphanumeric character strings, such as setting the System  
Model Number to Liebert STS2.  
Enumeration This type uses an indexed list to represent possible choices. One example is the Modem Baud  
Rate which uses a value of 0 to select 2400 bps, 1 for 9600 bps, and 2 for 19200 bps.  
Bit-packed  
This type of value uses a hexadecimal binary word, where each of the sixteen bits in the word has  
the value of 1 (True) or 0 (False). Although somewhat difficult to use, it packs a large amount of  
data within a single entry. A detailed description of this type appears in section 12.1.3 - Setting  
Event Masks This type is a specially formatted and is used to customize the behavior of each fault and alarm in  
configuring Event Mask parameters.

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  
bit7 — HasRemoteSourceSelect  
bit8 through bit15 — not used (set to 0)

bit1—EnableAutoRestart  
bit2 through bit15 - not used (set to 0)  
Non-Critical Option Enabling  
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 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.  
You can use this table to help with the conversion:

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.

Communication Interfaces  
Putting the Terminal Command Together  
For example, a unit only has the Remote Source Selection and Dual-Output Breaker options installed.  
Checking the bits list under Options_1 on page 81, bits 7 and 0 each must be set to 1 to indicate  
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  
values.  
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.  
Refer to 11.1 - Event Mask on page 71 for more information on event masks and their associated  
flags.  
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 -  
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  
are listed with the events in Table 8 on page 74.  
• 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 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.  
Note that the Summary and Event Log event masks are only configurable for the LED units.  
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.  
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.

The Mimic display provides a color diagram of the operation of the Liebert STS2. This display  
imitates the power flow through the static transfer switch and indicates source status, breaker status,  
switch status, source voltage and current readings, output power measurements, and active alarm  
13.4 Event Controls  
The Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 in real-time. Both nominal system  
parameters and alarm messages are displayed in the Event Display. You can touch any message in  
the Event Display to display more information in the Display Panel to the left. The selected status is  
displayed in bold type.  
13.6 Menu Bar  
As previously mentioned, the menu bar provides both configuration choices and information. The  
choices under the Config and Log menus access additional dialog boxes, while the other menu choices  
only show information in the display panel.  
13.7 Configuration Menu  
When you select the CONFIG (Configuration) menu choice, a pop-up menu is  
displayed with four choices.  
System Ratings used to configure frequency, voltage and currents settings for

Source Set Points  
The Source 1/2 Set Points allows you to configure trigger points for each input source (1 or 2) for the  
Liebert STS2 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 -  
Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection to set the preferred source.  
The Set Points are based on values in relation to the nominal voltage required for the Liebert STS2.  
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  
Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 transfers.  
OV Setting (%) if the voltage exceeds this set percentage of the nominal voltage for the period of  
the OV detection delay, the Liebert STS2 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 Liebert STS2 transfers sources.  
I-PK Xfer Lockout if current from the source exceeds this threshold, the Liebert STS2 disables  
source transfers, and has to be reset either manually or automatically. The type of reset is  
configured under the User Settings.

14.2 Operations  
This section discusses the system startup, shutdown and bypass procedures for the LED-based  
Liebert STS2.  
If your unit has an LCD touch screen, see10.0 - Operating Instructions for the Touch Screen  
Interface for instructions these procedures.  
14.2.1 Normal System Startup  
NOTE  
If your Liebert STS2 is connected to a PDU with a Wye configuration, enable the Wye Output  
Transformer before starting the system. This configuration can be done from a PC terminal.  
Refer to 12.1 - Using the RS-232 Port for instructions.  
This section provides instructions to start up the Liebert STS2. The LEDs provide the basic  
information required to ensure proper operation. To monitor metering data, use a PC terminal.  
1. Ensure that all Liebert STS2 breakers—CB1, CB2, CB3A (if supplied), CB3, CB4, and CB5—are  
in the OFF (open) position.  
a. Ensure that the key interlocks for CB1 and CB2 have their bolts retracted.  
b. Ensure that the key interlocks for CB4 and CB5 have their bolts extended, thus preventing  
CB4 or CB5 from being turned ON.  
c. Ensure that the circuit breakers respective LEDs are off.  
2. Source/input power should be applied to both Liebert STS2 inputs.  
Check that the green LEDs for each source are lit.  
3. Verify that nominal input voltages are applied to both inputs (Source 1 and Source 2).  
Check that the green LEDs monitoring the sources are lit indicating the sources are within  
acceptable tolerances.  
NOTE  
For redundant output switch units, CB3 descriptions apply to CB3 and CB3A.  
4. Close CB1.  
The green LED monitoring CB1 turns on.  
5. Close CB2.  
The green LED for CB2 turns on.  
6. Verify that the preferred source LED (green) (LED_PREFx) is lit for the source that you want the  
switch to be using.  
7. Verify that the green LED for the corresponding SCR (Liebert STS1 or Liebert STS2) is lit,  
indicating that the SCR is closed.  
8. Close Output Breaker CB3 (and CB3A in a redundant output configuration).  
9. Verify that CB3 LED is lit, indicating that CB3 is closed and the output and load are energized.  
• In a redundant output configuration, verify the CB3A LED is lit, indicating that CB3A is  
closed and the output and load are energized  
10. Press the Reset and Silence buttons simultaneously to reset any previous alarms.  
11. Verify that no red or yellow (amber) LEDs are lit indicating an active alarm, transfer is inhibited  
or a bypass circuit breaker is closed.

Operating the Liebert STS2 LED Display  
14.2.2 Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection  
The preferred source buttons allow you to change the preferred source. Transfers are only permitted  
when the voltage and current are within their proper operating range and the sources are  
synchronized. Transfer is inhibited if the deviation exceeds the parameter set in the Source Set  
Points.  
NOTE  
If one source will be de-energized for an extended period (hours or days), set the unit to bypass  
mode for the remaining source. Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch  
components for remaining source, the Liebert STS2 does not have a second source to switch to  
and the load would not receive power. See 14.2.3 - Maintenance Bypass on page 108 for  
bypass instructions.  
To manually select the preferred source:  
1. Ensure that the Transfer Inhibit (NOXF) LED is not lit.  
If the Transfer Inhibit LED is lit:  
• Check to see if the red alarm LED is lit.  
• If the alarm LED is lit, check the alarm messages on a PC terminal.  
• Correct alarm conditions before attempting a source transfer.  
NOTE  
When the remote source selection option (Remote Control) is activated, a change of state  
(Remote Preferred Source Selection) may initiate a transfer if the appropriate contacts are  
closed.  
2. Verify that the LEDs are lit for both sources, indicating power is present and within acceptable  
tolerances.  
3. Verify that the LEDs for the SCRs (Liebert STS1 and Liebert STS2) are lit.  
4. Verify that the input breakers CB1 and CB2 are closed.  
• Verify that their respective LEDs are lit.  
5. Push the Preferred Source button for the desired source. See Table 15 on page 104.  
The Preferred Source (LED_PREFx) LED turns on for that source.  
When conditions are correct, the switch transfers the load to the alternate source by selecting the  
alternate source as the preferred source.  
This source is now monitored as the preferred source throughout the various configurations set up  
through the PC terminal.  
6. Check the LEDs to verify that the correct source is designated as the preferred source and that  
the input source changes to the desired source and the output (OUT) LED remains lit.

Operating the Liebert STS2 LED Display  
14.2.3 Maintenance Bypass  
The Liebert STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow  
manual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for  
maintenance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While  
operating on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the Liebert STS2 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.  
In the event of source or switch failure, the unit should be bypassed only to the current input source.  
The LED display is used to verify the status of the unit during the bypass procedures. In the unlikely  
event that the LED 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  
connected to the source referenced on the label below that slot. See Figure 47.

Specifications  
15.2 System Components  
All Liebert STS2 models provide two static transfer switches within one enclosure, with the ability to  
transfer between two input sources to a single output.  
All Liebert STS2s are configured with either an LCD Color Graphical Interface touch screen display  
or LEDs for monitoring and configuring the unit.  
This section lists the common components and the differences for both types of units.  
15.2.1 Frame and Enclosure  
The complete Liebert STS2 is housed in a freestanding enclosure. The cabinet is a NEMA type 1  
enclosure and meets IP20 requirements. The cabinet is structurally designed to handle lifting from  
the base. The frame is designed to accommodate floor stands.

The distributed floor weight for Liebert STS2 is less than 150 lbs./sq. ft. (660kg/m²).  
The required service access is only from the front of the unit.  
The Liebert STS2 can be tipped 15° in any direction without falling over.  
15.2.2 Casters, Leveling and Seismic Anchoring  
The frame includes heavy-duty swivel casters for ease of installation, plus permanent leveling feet for  
final installation.  
The unit also can be fastened to the floor using optional seismic anchors to meet seismic Zone 4  
requirements. See 4.0 - Locating the Liebert STS2 and Figures 11 through 13 for instructions and  
details for installing seismic anchoring.  
15.2.3 Cooling  
The Liebert STS2 100 – 600A units utilize convection air cooling for the enclosure with forced air  
cooling of the heat sinks. The 800-1000A units are fan cooled using low-velocity fans to minimize  
audible noise. All fans are redundant so that a single fan failure cannot cause temperatures to  
increase beyond acceptable limits.  
Air intake is through screened protective openings in the front of the unit. A standard furnace filter is  
installed behind the openings.  
By opening the front door, the filter can be changed easily without exposing personnel to high voltage.  
The size of the filter is 1 in. x 25 in. x 25 in. (2.54 cm x 63.5 cm x 63.5 cm).  
The air exhaust is through the top of the unit.

Specifications  
15.2.4 Access  
The Liebert STS2 is designed so all repairs and maintenance can be done from the front 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 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 power cables and connections, circuit breaker bases, etc. are  
replaceable from the front or top of the unit only, 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  
personnel should perform maintenance on the static switch.  
!
Lethal voltages exist inside the unit during normal operation. Only qualified service  
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.  
15.2.5 Circuit Breakers  
The Liebert STS2 is equipped with five molded-case, plug-in, non-automatic circuit breakers. The  
breakers are UL-listed for use up to 600 VAC 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 input breakers  
for the solid-state switching devices also are equipped with 48 VDC shunt trips to allow for control by

to circulate to cool the unit. Replace the filter when it becomes dirty and impedes air flow. The  
frequency of changing or cleaning the filter depends on the location in which the unit is located.  
The size of the filter is 1 in. x 25 in. x 25 in. (2.54 cm x 63.5 cm x 63.5 cm).
