Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card - Remote Monitoring Adapter

The Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card (IS-RELAY) unlocks proactive, remote monitoring for UPS systems that feature an IntelliSlot communication port. By delivering reliable contact closure outputs across six alarm points, this compact adapter enables seamless integration with your building management system (BMS) or data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools. With the IS-RELAY, you gain real-time visibility into critical power conditions, faster incident response, and a clearer path to higher availability for your IT assets. Designed to slot directly into compatible Liebert UPS units, it offers a scalable, firmware-friendly solution that fits neatly into the IntelliSlot ecosystem without adding significant footprint or complexity to your rack or enclosure.

• Six alarm points for comprehensive visibility: The IS-RELAY provides dedicated contact closures for On Battery, On Bypass, Low Battery, Summary Alarm, UPS Status, and Relay Output. This wide coverage lets your BMS or DCIM tool monitor power health in detail, enabling you to detect anomalies early and coordinate action before a fault impacts uptime.
• Plug-and-play IntelliSlot integration: Designed for UPS systems with an IntelliSlot port, the relay card snaps into a compatible slot for quick deployment. It requires no external power supply and leverages the UPS’s own electronics to generate reliable dry-contact outputs, reducing installation time and potential wiring errors.
• Reliable, isolated relay contacts: Each alarm point is backed by isolated, robust contact closures that withstand the demands of data center monitoring environments. The output signals are designed to be compatible with standard BMS inputs, ensuring clean, noise-free communication even in busy data centers.
• DCIM and remote monitoring ready: The IS-RELAY is built to support centralized monitoring workflows. Its six dry-contact outputs can feed into DCIM platforms or remote monitoring services, enabling automated alerting, trend analysis, and centralized incident management across multiple racks and UPS units.
• Compact, durable form factor: Housed in a small, space-efficient module, the IntelliSlot Relay Card fits neatly inside the UPS chassis. Its rugged design is purpose-built for busy data centers, maintaining performance under varying temperatures and electrical conditions while preserving the integrity of your power monitoring setup.

How to install Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card

• Step 1: Power down the UPS and disconnect it from the main power source. Ensure you follow all safety procedures and wear appropriate antistatic protection before handling internal components.
• Step 2: Remove the UPS enclosure cover to access the IntelliSlot slots. Identify an available slot that aligns with the IS-RELAY’s form factor and connector orientation.
• Step 3: Align the IS-RELAY with the selected IntelliSlot slot and firmly seat the card until it is fully engaged. Avoid applying excessive force; the card should click into place securely within the slot.
• Step 4: If required by your installation, connect external field wiring to the relay contact terminals according to the wiring diagram provided in the user manual. Label each output (On Battery, On Bypass, Low Battery, Summary Alarm, UPS Status) to simplify future maintenance and integration with your BMS/DCIM system.
• Step 5: Replace the enclosure cover, reconnect the UPS to its power source, and power up. Verify operation by triggering test alarms or simulating conditions to confirm the dry-contact outputs change state as expected and are received by your monitoring system.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card used for? It provides remote monitoring capability for Liebert UPS systems by converting alarm events into reliable contact closures that can be read by BMS, DCIM, or remote monitoring services. This enables proactive outage prevention and faster response to power events.
• How many alarm points does the IS-RELAY monitor? The card supports six alarm points, including On Battery, On Bypass, Low Battery, Summary Alarm, UPS Status, and Relay Output. These outputs offer granular insight into UPS health and power conditions.
• Is the relay card compatible with all Liebert UPS models? The IS-RELAY is designed for UPS units that include an IntelliSlot communication port. Compatibility depends on the specific model and firmware; consult your Vertiv Liebert product documentation or support resources to confirm (look for the IntelliSlot interface).
• Do I need specialized service to install the IS-RELAY? The IS-RELAY is intended for straightforward installation in UPS units with an available IntelliSlot slot. While basic electrical safety and equipment handling knowledge is recommended, many data-center teams can install it without external service. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guide.
• Can the relay outputs be integrated with BMS/DCIM? Yes. The six dry-contact outputs are designed to interface with standard BMS or DCIM inputs, enabling centralized monitoring, alerting, and data collection without requiring complex software integration.
• What are the benefits of remote monitoring with IS-RELAY? Real-time alarm reporting, faster fault localization, reduced mean time to repair (MTTR), and improved data-center uptime. The relay card helps translate UPS alarms into actionable signals that your monitoring ecosystem can process automatically.
