INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert 2U POD™. The Liebert 2U POD provides main-
tenance bypass capability as well as power output distribution. The Liebert 2UPOD can be
used on UPSs in the rack mount or tower configuration.
The Liebert 2U POD provides an isolated path of power for your UPS system for preventive
maintenance or service.

System Description

The 2U POD has two modes of operation: UPS (UPS available) and MAINS (maintenance
bypass).
•In UPS mode, the power is routed through the UPS system delivering conditioned power
to the load, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 UPS mode of operation
•In MAINS mode, the power is routed around (bypassing) the UPS system (see Figure2).
Mains power is supplied directly to the load through the 2U POD.

• The UPS may be turned off and removed without affecting the load. See Figure 3.
