IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

! WARNING

Observe all cautions and warnings in this manual. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

Refer all UPS and battery service to properly trained and qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to service this product yourself.

Opening or removing the cover may expose you to lethal voltages within this unit even when it is apparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected from the electrical source.

Never work alone.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during the installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or operate this UPS.

UPS Safety Notes

This UPS contains no user-serviceable parts except the internal battery pack. The Off/Bypass push button does not electrically isolate internal parts. Under no circumstances attempt to gain internal access other than to replace the batteries due to risk of electric shock or burn. Do not continue to use the UPS if the front panel indications are not in accordance with these operating instructions or if the UPS performance alters in use. Refer all faults to your local dealer, Emerson Network Power representative or Emerson Network Power Channel Support.

This UPS has an internal battery, and the output receptacles of the UPS may carry live voltage even if the UPS is not connected to utility input power.

Before moving or rewiring this UPS, disconnect utility input power and the battery and make sure that the UPS is completely shut down. Otherwise, the output terminal may carry live voltage, presenting an electric shock hazard.

To ensure human safety and normal UPS operation, the UPS must be properly grounded before use.

When the UPS is connected to an IT power distribution system, a short-circuit protection device must be installed on the neutral line.

Install and use the Liebert® GXT3™ in the following environments:

•Temperature: 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C), relative humidity: 0% ~ 95% non-condensing

•Out of direct sunlight

•Away from heat sources

•Stable surface, not subject to vibrations or shocks

•Away from dust and other particulates

•Away from corrosive substances, salts and flammable gases

Keep the air inlet and outlet of this UPS unobstructed. Poor ventilation will increase the internal temperature of the UPS and can adversely affect the UPS and its batteries.

Keep liquid and foreign objects away from the UPS.

In case of fire, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Using a fluid fire extinguisher may cause electric shock.

This UPS is not intended for use with life support and other designated critical devices. Maximum load must not exceed that shown on the UPS rating label. This UPS is designed for data processing equipment. If uncertain, consult your local dealer or Emerson representative.

This UPS is not for use in a computer room as defined in the standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

The Liebert® GXT3-3000RT120™ was tested under 30A branch circuit in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 30A maximum branch overcurrent protection.

The Liebert® GXT3™-3000RT208 was tested under 20A branch circuit in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20A maximum branch overcurrent protection.

Battery Safety

! CAUTION

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is toxic and is harmful to skin and eyes.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

! CAUTION

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

•Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.

•Use tools with insulated handles.

•Wear rubber gloves and boots.

•Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

The UPS is composed of utility input, TVSS and EMI/RFI filters, rectifier/PFC, inverter, battery charger, DC-to-DC converter, battery, dynamic bypass and UPS output.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) and EMI/RFI Filters

The Liebert® GXT3™ has surge protection and filters that protect the connected load from power surges, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). These features can minimize any surges or interference present in the utility power. The filters also prevent surges or interference generated by the UPS from adversely affecting devices connected on the same branch as the UPS.

Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit

In normal operation, the Liebert GXT3’s rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit converts utility power to regulated DC power for use by the inverter while ensuring that the wave shape of the input current used by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting this sinewave input current achieves two objectives:

•Efficient power use by the UPS

•Reduced reflected harmonics

This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building not being protected by the Liebert GXT3.

Inverter

In normal operation, the Liebert GXT3’s inverter utilizes the DC output of the PFC to produce precise, regulated sine wave AC power. When utility power fails, the inverter receives DC power from the DC-to-DC Converter. In either operation mode, the UPS inverter is online, continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC output power.

Product Description

Battery Charger

The battery charger utilizes energy from the utility power and precisely regulates it to continuously float charge the batteries. The batteries are being charged whenever the Liebert® GXT3™ is plugged in, even when the UPS is not turned On.

DC-to-DC Converter

The DC-to-DC converter raises the DC voltage from the battery to the optimum operating voltage for the inverter. This allows the inverter to operate continuously at its optimum efficiency and voltage, thus increasing reliability.

Battery

The Liebert GXT3 uses valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design life, operate the Liebert GXT3 in an ambient temperature of 32°F to 77°F (0°C to 25°C).

Optional external battery cabinets are available to extend battery run times.

Dynamic Bypass

The Liebert GXT3 provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected loads in the unlikely event of a UPS malfunction. Should the Liebert GXT3 have an overload, overtemperature or UPS failure condition, the UPS automatically transfers the connected loads to bypass.

NOTE

The bypass power path does not protect the connected loads from disturbances on the utility.

1.5Operating Mode

The UPS operation modes include: Utility (AC) mode, bypass mode, battery mode, battery recharge mode and frequency converter mode.

For the descriptions of indicators and control buttons in this section, refer to 3.0 - Controls and Indicators.

1.5.1Utility (AC) Mode

During Utility (AC) Mode, utility power provides energy to the Liebert GXT3. The filters, PFC circuit and the inverter process this power to provide computer-grade power to connected loads. Meanwhile, the UPS maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.

1.5.2Manual Bypass Mode

Manual Bypass Mode occurs when the Standby/Manual bypass button is pressed and held for about 2 seconds while the Liebert GXT3 is in Utility (AC) Mode. Bypass operation is indicated by an audible alarm and illuminated amber bypass indicator (If other indicators are illuminated, refer to 7.0 - Troubleshooting). During manual bypass mode, utility power bypasses the inverter and provides energy to the connected load.

NOTICE

Turning Off the UPS in bypass mode will result in loss of output power and dropped loads.
