1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Touchscreen Control Panel’s integrated interface simplifies monitoring and managing single
or multiple Liebert®UPS modules. The control collects a profusion of information about the health
of the modules and presents it in a standardized format. This simple, dynamic display speeds
operator response to changing power input and demand.
Many of the settings will depend on the UPS type and features. Many settings will be made by
Vertiv personnel when setting up the UPS.
The Touchscreen Control Panel’s interface will display data either graphically or in text. The
Status Scroll Bar at the top of the touchscreen display summarizes system conditions. The bar
changes color to indicate status and includes an icon matched to the status. The Status Gauge
displays such details as power demand from the connected load, input power quality, output and
bypass on each phase and battery capacity.
The Touchscreen Control Panel’s mimic display shows the comprehensive system information
that the operator needs:
• Is input power connected?
• Are there any alarms?
• Which breakers are open and which are closed?
• Is the UPS on battery?
• How much battery run time is available?
Checking a particular component is as simple as touching it on the mimic display—Detailed data
appears, allowing the operator to respond.
Visual and audible alarms alert personnel to faults and alarms requiring immediate attention.
Passcodes for each level of access—Operator, Administrator and Service—secure the UPS
against unauthorized changes. Personnel without a passcode can view UPS status, but cannot
change any functions or the appearance of the interface.

2.0 NAVIGATING THROUGH THE
TOUCHSCREEN CONTROL PANEL
The Touchscreen Control Panel is active whenever the UPS has input power. The touchscreen
LCD on the front of the UPS permits:
• Logging in to the system—3.1 - Log In to the Touchscreen Control Panel
• Customizing the user interface—2.4 - Customizing the Display
• Checking the status of the UPS and its external batteries, including all measured parameters, events and
alarms—4.0 - VIEWING UPS STATUS and 5.0 - VIEWING UPS COMPONENT STATUS
• Determining when users logged in and out—4.3 - Logs—Events and Log-In Times
• Silencing alarms—3.3.1 - OPERATE Menu—Silence an Alarm
• Turning the UPS On —3.3.2 - OPERATE Menu—Inverter On
• Turning the UPS Off—3.3.3 - OPERATE Menu—Inverter Off
• Resetting faults—3.3.4 - OPERATE Menu—Reset Fault
• Enabling Energy Saving Mode—3.3.6 - OPERATE Menu—Energy Saving Mode Activation
The Touchscreen Control Panel’s display default view is two panes: One-line animated mimic and
UNIT STATUS. The appearance can be changed to multiple panes that show other data.
Customizing the appearance is detailed in 2.4 - Customizing the Display.
2.1 Restrict Physical Access with Barriers or Set Log-In Codes
NOTICE
Risk of unauthorized changes to UPS operational settings. Can cause equipment damage.
Because a UPS such as the Liebert®EXL™S1 is usually installed in areas that restrict physical access, the
Touchscreen Control Panel does not, by default, require a PIN to change UPS settings and operations.
If physical access cannot be restricted with barriers and identity cards, PIN codes may be set in the
Touchscreen Control Panel to prevent unwanted changes to the Liebert®EXL™S1.
The Touchscreen Control Panel has four possible access levels—Observer, Operator,
Administrator and Service—each with different levels of authority. The Service level, which
permits configuration changes, is the only level that, by default, requires a PIN.
The default access level for the Touchscreen Control Panel is Administrator. When a PIN is set for
the Administrator, the control panel opens at the Operator level.
To set or change a PIN, refer to 3.1 - Log In to the Touchscreen Control Panel.
