Maintenance Bypass 8 - 18kVA

The Liebert UPStation S™ Maintenance Bypass Cabinet allows the customer to completely isolate the UPS for repair and/or preventive maintenance. A rotary switch provides a make- before-break system that enables a transfer to and from maintenance bypass without interruption to the load.

There are two sizes available; the VM12000 series for the 8-12 kVA units and the VM18000 series for the 15 -18 kVA units.

Weights/Dimensions

The maintenance bypass cabinet is a wall-mount system. Dimensions and weights depend on the KVA rating and options installed. Use the following table to determine the weight of your maintenance bypass. Dimensions can be found on page 20.

Standard Features

A locking handle prevents unauthorized access.

A holder for the User’s Manual and any site documentation is provided on the inside cover of the door. This enables the customer to keep all documentation relating to their UPS and maintenance bypass with the unit.

Auxiliary contacts, rated at 15 amps and 600 volts, are available if the customer requires remote monitoring of the maintenance bypass.

Conduit knock-outs for power wiring and control wiring are prefabricated into the enclosure, allowing for top or bottom entrance.

Modes of Operation

The are three modes of operation on the maintenance bypass; On-Line, Test, and Maintenance Bypass. There are two major types of maintenance bypass cabinets and Liebert UPStation S™ units when referring to the one- line diagrams and power flows.

When the rotary switch is placed in the On-Line position, contacts A and C are closed with contact B open. The standard Liebert UPStation S™ is powering the critical load as illustrated below.

VM18000, VM12000 specifications

The Liebert VM12000 and VM18000 are advanced precision cooling systems designed to provide reliable temperature and humidity control in critical environments such as data centers, telecommunications facilities, and industrial applications. These systems are engineered to meet the diverse needs of modern infrastructures that demand optimal performance, energy efficiency, and robust reliability.

One of the key features of the Liebert VM series is its high cooling capacity. The VM12000 offers a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTU/h, while the VM18000 provides an impressive 18,000 BTU/h. This makes both models ideal for environments where heat load is significant, ensuring that critical equipment remains within operational limits. The systems employ variable speed technology, allowing them to dynamically adjust cooling output based on real-time conditions, which enhances energy efficiency and performance.

The Liebert VM series is equipped with advanced control systems, including microprocessor controls that enable precise monitoring and adjustments. Users can easily access real-time data through intuitive interfaces, allowing for seamless management of cooling settings. Additionally, the systems can be integrated into building management systems (BMS), offering centralized control that enhances operational efficiency.

Another notable characteristic of the VM series is its modular design. This allows for easy scalability, making it suitable for both small setups and large, complex installations. The flexibility offered by the modular design permits the addition of cooling units as cooling demands grow, ensuring that users can keep pace with their evolving requirements.

In terms of energy efficiency, the Liebert VM12000 and VM18000 meet and exceed the efficiency standards set by the industry. The systems utilize R-410A refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly and contributes to higher energy performance. This focus on sustainability not only reduces the carbon footprint but also lowers operating costs, providing significant savings over time.

Furthermore, the Liebert VM series is built with robust components designed for durability and longevity. The systems are engineered for high performance in demanding conditions, ensuring reliability even in the most challenging environments.

Overall, the Liebert VM12000 and VM18000 precision cooling units stand out for their high capacity, energy efficiency, advanced controls, and modularity. These features make them a top choice for businesses needing reliable cooling solutions to protect their critical infrastructure while also promoting energy sustainability.
