Thank you for selecting this bypass distribution module. It is designed to work in conjunction with a UPS
to provide you with protection for connected equipment. Please read this manual before installing the
XBDM-Series models XBDM-1015LV, XBDM-1020LV, XBDM-1030LV, and XBDM-1020HV as it provides
important information that should be followed during installation allowing you to correctly set up your

system for the maximum safety and performance. Included is information on customer support and
service. If you experience a problem with the XBDM, please contact technical support.
WARNING: Incorrect installation, operation, and/or modifications made to the XBDM will void the
manufactures warranty. Xtreme Power Conversion is not liable for personnel or equipment damages as
a result.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
CAUTION! Two sources of power are present in the XBDM: UPS power
and Utility power
CAUTION! (UPS has Internal Batteries): Risk of electrical shock – Hazardous live parts
inside the UPS are energized from the battery supply even when the input AC power is disconnected.
CAUTION! (No User serviceable Parts): Risk of electrical shock, do not remove cover.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING! Unit intended for installation in a controlled environment per installation instructions.
CAUTION! If flammable substances such as gases or fumes are present, or if the room is airtight, a
hazardous situation may exist in which no electrical equipment should be operated.
WARNING!
It is strongly recommended that the XBDM not be opened as components have very high
voltage and touching those components may be fatal. Only a qualified technician or
authorized agent may service the unit.
The XBDM unit’s output receptacles can carry live voltage even when not connected to an
input voltage source. The UPS has its own internal energy source.

Xtreme Power Conversion® (XPC) Corporation (Rev 2/7/13) Page 5
CAUTION
The unit has a dangerous amount of voltage. If either the UPS or BYPASS indicator is on, the unit’s
outlets may have a dangerous amount of voltage even when not plugged into the wall outlet because
the battery from the UPS may continue to supply power.
Care should be taken to undertake installation indoors, free from electrically-conductive particles
which are under temperature and humidity control, in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
It is best to disconnect the device using the power supply cord. Ensure that the equipment is placed in
a position near the outlet where easily accessible.
All servicing on this equipment must be carried out by qualified service personnel.
The Xtreme Bypass Distribution Module (XBDM) is intended to allow replacement of the UPS
connected without having to shut down the equipment connected to the load circuits on the XBDM.
Caution should be observed as the XBDM is always supplied with power by either the UPS or UTILITY.
Environment
Ensure that all environmental concerns and requirements are met according to specifications listed in
this document, otherwise the safety of installation personnel cannot be guaranteed, and the unit may
malfunction.
Ensure that you remember the following when locating the XBDM:
•Avoid extremes of temperature and humidity.
OOperating temperature: 0°C to +50°C (+32° to +122° F)
OOperating elevation: 0 to 3000m (0-10,0000 ft)
ORelative humidity: 0-90%, non-condensing
OStorage temperature: 0-65° C (+32 to +149° F)
OStorage elevation: 0 to 15,000m (0 to +50,0000 ft)
•Provide protection for the equipment from moisture.
•Space and ventilation requirements must be met.

INTRODUCTION
The information provided in this manual covers single phase 15A, 20A, and 30A bypass distribution
modules, their basic functions, operating procedures, options available and emergency situations. It also
includes information on how to ship, store, handle, and install the equipment. Only detailed
requirements of the XBDM units are described herein, and installation must be carried out in
accordance with this manual. Refer to the associated UPS manual for UPS operating instructions.
Electrical installation must also carefully follow local legislation and regulations. Only qualified personnel
should conduct these installations as failure to acknowledge electrical hazards could prove to be fatal.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Many different kinds of sensitive electrical equipment can be protected by an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) including computers, workstations, process control systems, telecommunications systems,
sales terminals, other critical instrumentation, etc. The purpose of the XBDM is to provide an extra level
of protection in allowing for the replacement of a UPS without powering down the loads connected. The
XBDM can work with most single phase topologies. It will not work with topologies that have a phase
shift between input and output (like ferro of UPS with an isolation transformer) .
Electrical interference exists in many forms, causing problems in AC power, from lightning, power
company accidents and radio transmission motors, air conditioners, and vending machines. Protection
of sensitive electrical equipment is vital to protect against power outages, low or high voltage
conditions, slow voltage fluctuations, frequency variations, differential and common-mode noise,
transients, etc.
To prevent power line problems from reaching critical systems causing damage to software, hardware,
and equipment malfunctions, the UPS maintains constant voltage, isolating critical load output and
cleaning the utility AC power. When a UPS fails or needs maintenance, many times it is necessary to turn
off the UPS and disconnect it from incoming electrical circuits. With the XBDM installed between the
incoming Utility and the UPS, you can replace the UPS and/or Batteries without dropping the load. You
simply switch the XBDM from UPS power to Utility power and remove the UPS while the load connected
to the XBDM continues to operate temporarily from Utility power.
Bypass Distribution Description
The Xtreme Bypass Distribution Module (XBDM) is designed to operate with a single-phase UPS up to
30Amps in output capacity. The XBDM allows you to:
•Replace or upgrade the UPS without losing power to the protected equipment
•Provide surge protection if the UPS is not present
•Provide extra surge protection when the UPS is present
As shown in fig. 1 block diagram:

•Under normal operation, the UTILITY INPUT flows through the XBDM to the UPS and then out to
the CONNECTED LOADS.

As shown in fig. 2 block diagram:
•Under maintenance operation, the UTILITY INPUT flows through the XBDM to the CONNECTED
LOADS – the UPS is not in the circuit.

bypass switch to the opposite position. Both the UPS, and Utility lights available must be illuminated to
prevent transferring to a non-powered source.
Normal Operation
When operating in NORMAL mode the switch on the front of the XBDM will be in the UPS position
Figure 22 – XBDM Bypass Switch – UPS
CAUTION: The red LED on the bypass module must be illuminated before transferring to the UPS
position.
Bypass Operation
To transfer your equipment to Maintenance Bypass (AC Line operation) and remove the UPS:
1. Toggle the Bypass Switch on the XBDM to UTILITY position. The XBDM is now powering your
equipment from Utility power.
Figure 23 – XBDM Bypass Switch - UTILITY
CAUTION: The Orange LED must be illuminated before transferring to BYPASS operation.
CAUTION: When the XBDM is operating in UTILITY MODE, the LOAD connected is not
protected from power outages.
2. Press the OFF BUTTON on the UPS per the UPS manufacturers’ documentation.
3. If any optional Extended Battery Packs or Modules are connected to the UPS, turn off
the circuit breaker on the battery pack or module (if applicable), and disconnect the
cable from the battery pack or module to the UPS.
4. Disconnect the UPS output cord from the XBDM to the UPS output receptacle.
5. Disconnect the UPS INPUT CORD from the UPS INPUT RECEPTACLE on the XBDM.
6. Remove the UPS.

the battery pack or module to the UPS, and turn on the circuit breaker on the battery
back or module (if applicable) per the UPS manufacturers’ documentation.
2. Connect the UPS output cord from the XBDM to a UPS output receptacle
3. Plug the UPS INPUT POWER CORD into the XBDM UPS INPUT RECEPTACLE.
4. Start the UPS per the manufactures instructions. The red UPS available light should
illuminate on the Bypass Distribution Module.
5. Toggle the Bypass Switch on the XBDM to UPS position. The XBDM is now powering your
equipment from UPS power.
Note: XBDM-1030LV has two BYPASS SWITCHES each controlling a separate group of
receptacles. Please assure you have operated both BYPASS SWITCHES prior to removing the
UPS from the XBDM.
A label is placed on the top of each XBDM to highlight the proper connectivity of the INPUT and
OUTPUT of the XBDM and UPS.
