3 INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Liebert MicroPOD provides maintenance bypass capability as well as power output distribution. The Liebert MicroPOD
can be used on UPSs in either rack mount or tower configuration.
The Liebert MicroPOD provides an isolated path of power for your UPS system for preventive maintenance or service.
3.1 System Description
The Liebert MicroPOD 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 3.1 below.

3 UPS
4 Connected Load
Table 3.1 U PS M ode D escription
•In Mains mode, power is routed around (bypassing) the UPS system (see Figure 3.2 on the next page). Mains
power is supplied directly to the load through the Liebert MicroPOD.

1. Unpack the Liebert MicroPOD carefully, noting the packing method. Retain the box and packing material for
possible future shipments.
2. Inspect the Liebert MicroPOD for freight damage. Report any damage to the carrier and your local dealer or
Liebert representative.
3. Verify that the Liebert MicroPOD input cord, UPS input cord and receptacle for the UPS have the same type of
configuration.
4. If you already have a UPS installed, turn off all connected loads and unplug them from the UPS. Turn off the UPS
and disconnect the input cord.
5. Attach the two Liebert MicroPOD securing brackets (optional for Liebert GXT series UPS) to the rear of the UPS
(see top of Figure 4.1 below). You will need a long M3 Phillips head screwdriver for this procedure (the torque is
7 in-lb, or 0.79 Nm). The Liebert MicroPOD brackets have a hole to allow the screwdriver to reach the screw.
6. Next attach the Liebert MicroPOD to the securing brackets (see Figure 4.1 below). The Liebert MicroPOD can
be installed to face one of three different directions utilizing the same mounting procedures.

4.2 Rack M ount Installation
1. Rack mount installation of the Liebert MicroPOD is possible with the use of the rack mounting brackets (shipped
with the Liebert MicroPOD). See Figure 5.1 below.
2. The rack mount brackets allow you to rack mount the Liebert MicroPOD in a 19" enclosure.
3. The Liebert MicroPOD can be mounted to face one of four directions depending on your application, utilizing the
rack mount brackets provided.
4. Determine the desired position and direction for the Liebert MicroPOD, face it in that direction, then attach the
brackets to the Liebert MicroPOD with the screws provided.
5. Consult your rack/enclosure manufacturer’s recommendations for specific rack mounting hardware that will be
required.
6. The holes on the rack mount bracket are notched for easy installation. Tighten the Liebert MicroPOD securely to
the rails and then follow the startup directions for the Liebert MicroPOD in Installation on a Liebert GXT UPS on
page 7.

5.1 Pluggable C onnections
1. Make sure the Liebert Micro POD rotary switch is in the MAINS position. Plug the Liebert MicroPOD input cord
(labeled MAINS) into the mains outlet (wall receptacle).

3. Plug the 6-foot long (1.8m) UPS system output cord (factory-provided ) into the receptacle on top of the Liebert
MicroPOD (labeled: UPS).
4. Plug in all loads to the output distribution receptacles, distributing them evenly on the Liebert MicroPOD. The
Liebert MicroPOD is powering the equipment in Mains mode.
5. Turn ON the loads following the manufacturer’s instructions; ensure all are operating according to specification.
6. Start the UPS according to its user manual.
7. Verify that the UPS lamp (green) on the Liebert MicroPOD is illuminated. If so, transfer the rotary switch from
MAINS to UPS. The load is now being supplied with conditioned power through the UPS.
8. Before any operation or procedure, always verify that both the UPS lamp (green) and the Mains lamp (amber) are
illuminated before changing the rotary switch.

6 INDICATOR LAMPS
6.1 M ains Ind icator Lam p
This amber lamp is illuminated when mains power is present (see Figure 7.1 below). It signals that loads can be transferred to
maintenance bypass (Mains mode) operation via the rotary switch. If mains power is not present, this lamp will be off and the
UPS will supply battery backup power to connected loads.
6.2 U PS Indicator Lam p
This green lamp is illuminated when output power is available from the UPS (see Figure 7.1 below). It signals that it is safe to
transfer connected loads from mains power back to UPS output power.
