17.0 MAINTENANCE
Minimal periodic maintenance of the Liebert STS2 is required. As with all electrical distribution
components, the system should be regularly inspected for electrical connection integrity, signs of
excessive temperatures, dirt accumulation, and proper system operation.

17.1 Proper Tightening of Nuts and Bolts

The recommended tightening torque for all nuts and bolts is as shown below, unless otherwise
labeled. All power connections are designed to remain at proper torque throughout the lifetime of the
unit.

17.2 Testing the Liebert STS2

The Liebert STS2 includes comprehensive system alarms and fault detection to identify operational
problems. To increase the degree of confidence of proper system operation, periodic transfer tests can
be easily performed. For instructions for changing the preferred source and switching sources:
• For a Color Graphical Display unit, see 10.2 - Manual Transfer / Preferred Source
Selection on page 66.
• For an LED-equipped unit, see 14.2.2 - Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection on
page 107.

17.3 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
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).
!
WARNING
Only qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the static switch.
Lethal voltages exist inside the unit during normal operation.
The unit is supplied by multiple AC power sources. Disconnect and lock-out all power sources
before working inside unit.
