1 INTRODUCTION
The Vertiv™ Liebert® DPM offers the highest capability for control, communication and monitoring of power distribution
units and remote power panels (PDUs and RPPs).
The Touchscreen Control Panel’s integrated interface simplifies monitoring and managing the PDU or RPP where it is
installed. The control collects information about the PDU or RPP’s setup and operation and presents it in a standardized
format. This simple, dynamic display speeds operator response to changing power input and demand.
Many settings, including component names, number of inputs and other configuration items, will be made by Vertiv™
personnel when setting up the PDU or RPP and Liebert DPM. These will depend on the PDU or RPP model, its features and
site requirements. Many settings and component names can be modified by personnel with Administrator login access.
The Liebert DPM’s interface will display data either graphically or as text, whichever the user chooses (see Liebert® DPM
Main Display, Graphical View, Observer Level on page 2 and Liebert® DPM Main Display, Text View, Operator Level on
page 3). The display alternates between graphics and text at the touch of an icon. The one-line diagram remains
displayed and interactive, even when text view is chosen.
The Toolbar at the top of the touchscreen summarizes system conditions with colors and an icon matched to the status. The
color and the icon change immediately if the system's status changes. The right panel displays meters showing data about
the output side of the transformer. The upper portion of the panel has the overall status. Below that is detailed output data
for each phase. See Figure 1.1 on the next page
1.1 Touchscreen Control Panel and User Interface
The Liebert DPM uses graphical icons or text to show the comprehensive information that the operator needs to keep the
system operating smoothly and efficiently:
•Is input power connected?
•Is the load balanced?
•Are there any alarms?
•Which breakers are open and which are closed?
Checking the status of a particular component is as simple as touching it on the one-line display. Detailed data appears,
allowing the operator to respond quickly to operational changes.
Visual and audible alarms alert personnel to faults and alarms requiring immediate attention. The legend drawer at the
bottom left of the main display in the Default View defines the color codes for unit status (see Legend, Graphical and Text
Views on page 3).
PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) for each access level - Operator, Administrator and Service - secure the Liebert
DPM against unauthorized changes. Observers (personnel without a PIN) can view PDU or RPP status through the Liebert
DPM, but cannot change any configuration settings.

1.2 Component Naming and Labeling
Default component names are set either at the factory or by Vertiv Services personnel who set up the system, but
Administrators can rename them. Renaming permits site personnel to denote a component so that it's location and function
are more readily apparent (e.g., Rack # Backup Servers). There is no limit on the number of characters in the unit name;
panelboard names are limited to 32 characters and names for breakers and subfeeds can have no more than 24 characters.

2 TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY AND USER INTERFACE
The Liebert® DPM is active whenever the PDU or RPP it is mounted on has input power. The screen may be dark and
appear inactive, depending on its settings and user activity. If the panel is inactive, touch the LCD to activate it.
The touchscreen permits:
• Logging in to the system:Log In to the Touchscreen Control Panel on page 23
• Customizing the user interface:Customizing the Display on page 10
• Checking the status of the PDU or RPP, including all measured parameters, events and alarms: View System
Status on page 39
• Determining when users logged in and out:Context Menu Controls on page 27
• Silencing alarms:Reset, Silence and Filter Faults and Events on page 59
• Resetting faults:Reset, Silence and Filter Faults and Events on page 59
The Liebert DPM display's Default View has two panels:
•One-line diagram and
•Unit status (see Touchscreen DefaultView on page 6).
The Default View cannot be deleted. Editing the Default View is possible, but the changed view will be renamed
automatically and the original Default View will remain.
The Touchscreen Control Panel's appearance can be changed to multiple panes that show other data. Customizing the
appearance is detailed in Customizing the Display on page 10.

2.1 Restrict Physical Access with Barriers or Set Login Codes
NOTE: The default time for a login to remain active without screen interaction is 5 minutes. This is set when the unit
is configured. It can be altered at the Service level login.
The Liebert® DPM has four access levels—Observer, Operator, Administrator and Service—each with different levels of
authority. The Observer level, which does not permit configuration changes, does not require a PIN.
The default access level for the Liebert DPM is Observer. When a PIN is not required for the Administrator or Operator, the
control panel opens at the Administrator level.
2.1.1 Default PINs
•Observer: None at default level
•Operator: 1234 (default)
•Administrator: 2345 (default)
