INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert GXT2U™ Uninterruptible
Power System (UPS). It provides conditioned power to microcomputers and
other sensitive electronic equipment.
Upon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during transmission
and distribution it may be subject to voltage sags, spikes, or complete power
failure that may interrupt computer operations, cause data loss, or even
damage equipment. The Liebert GXT2U protects equipment from these
disturbances.
The Liebert GXT2U is rated for 2700 VA, 1890 watts. Complete model
specifications appear at the end of this manual.
The Liebert GXT2U is a compact, “on-line” UPS. An on-line UPS continuously
conditions and regulates its output voltage, whether utility power is present
or not. It supplies connected equipment with clean sine wave power. Sensitive
electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power.
For ease of use, the Liebert GXT2U features a light-emitting diode (LED)
display to indicate either load percentage or battery capacity depending upon
the mode of operation. It also provides self-diagnostic tests, a combination ON/
Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button, a Standby button, user
configurable program, and two levels of alarms when the unit is operating on
battery.
The Liebert GXT2U has an interface port for communication between the UPS
and a network server or other computer systems. This port provides detailed
operating information including voltages, currents, and alarm status to the
host system when used in conjunction with Liebert MultiLink™ software.
Liebert MultiLink software can also remotely control UPS operation.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppression and EMI/RFI Filters
These UPS components provide surge protection and filter both
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
They minimize any surges or interference present in the utility line and keep
the sensitive equipment protected.
Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit
In normal operation, the rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit
converts utility AC power to regulated DC power for use by the inverter while
ensuring that the waveshape of the input current used by the UPS is near
ideal. Extracting this sinewave input current achieves two objectives:
• The utility power is used as efficiently as possible by the UPS.
• The amount of distortion reflected on the utility is reduced.
This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building
not being protected by the Liebert GXT2U.
Inverter
In normal operation, the inverter utilizes the DC output of the power factor
correction circuit and inverts it into precise, regulated sinewave AC power.
Upon a utility power failure, the inverter receives its required energy from the
battery through the DC to DC converter. In both modes of operation, the UPS
inverter is on-line and continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC
output power.
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 GXT2U is plugged in, even when the UPS
is not turned on.
5
DISCONTINUED
PRO DU C T
DC-to-DC Converter
The DC-to-DC converter utilizes energy from the battery system and raises
the DC voltage 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 GXT2U utilizes valve-regulated, nonspillable lead acid batteries.
To maintain battery design life, operate the UPS in an ambient temperature
of 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Optional external battery cabinets are
available to extend battery run times.
Dynamic Bypass
The Liebert GXT2U provides an alternate path for utility power to the
connected load in the unlikely event of a UPS malfunction. Should the UPS
have an overload, overtemperature, or UPS failure condition, the UPS
automatically transfers the connected load to bypass. Bypass operation is
indicated by an audible alarm and illuminated amber Bypass LED (other
LEDs may be illuminated to indicate the diagnosed problem). To manually
transfer the connected load from the inverter to bypass, press the Standby
button once.
NOTE
The bypass power path does NOT protect the connected equipment
from disturbances on the utility supply.

* Maximum voltage and current on pins 1, 7, 8, and 9 is 60VDC; 10.0 mA.
Pins 4 & 5 - Remote Shutdown on Battery
1. This pin is functional only when the UPS is in battery mode. If the UPS is
being powered by the utility, Pin 4 will ignore any signal on this pin.
2. Pin 4 requires a 5-12 VDC signal to shutdown. This normally comes form
the serial port using Liebert’s contact closure cable. It cannot be used with
just a contact closure unless the relay is used to switch a voltage source. A
5-12 VDC signal for 1.5 seconds or greater is required to signal a shutdown.
Signals for less than 1.5 seconds will be ignored. After Pin 4 receives a shutdown signal for 1.5 seconds, the command cannot be canceled.
3. A battery shutdown signal on Pin 4 will NOT cause an immediate shutdown. A shutdown signal will start a 2-minute shutdown timer. The timer
cannot be stopped. After 2 minutes, the UPS will shut down.
4. If the utility returns during the 2-minute timer countdown, the shutdown
timer will continue until the end of 2 minutes and the UPS will turn OFF.
The UPS must remain OFF for at least 10 seconds even if AC input power
returns before the UPS turns OFF. This serves to reset and restart the
server.
Whether the UPS turns back ON when power is restored depends on the autorestart setting: enabled or disabled.
If the auto-restart is disabled, the UPS will not restart after performing the

MAINTENANCE
The Liebert GXT2U requires very little maintenance. The batteries are valveregulated, nonspillable, lead acid and should be kept charged to obtain their
designed life. The UPS continuously charges the batteries when connected to
the utility supply.
When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is recommended to plug the
UPS in for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of
the batteries.
The Liebert GXT2U is designed to allow the user to safely replace the internal
batteries. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your local
dealer or Liebert representative to obtain the appropriate replacement battery
kit part number and pricing.
Battery Replacement
CAUTION
!
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short
circuit current. The following precautions should be observed before
replacing the batteries:
• Remove rings, watches, or other metal objects.
• Use a Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver with insulated grips.
• Do not lay tools or other metal objects on top of the batteries.
• If the battery replacement kit is damaged in any way or shows
signs of leakage, contact your local dealer or Liebert representative immediately.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

Internal Battery Replacement Procedures
1. Gently remove the front plastic bezel cover from the UPS.
2. Loosen and remove the four screws on the front battery door. Lay the battery door aside for reassembly.
3. Gently pull battery wiring out and disconnect the two slotted battery connectors.
4. Grasp the battery pack assembly, and pull it out of the front of the UPS.
5. Unpack the new battery assembly taking care not to destroy the packing.
Compare new and old battery assemblies to make sure they are the same. If
so, proceed with Step 6; otherwise STOP and contact your local dealer, Liebert representative, or the Liebert Worldwide Support Group.
6. Line up and slide in the new replacement battery pack.
7. Reconnect the two slotted battery connectors and gently push the battery
wiring and battery pack assembly back into the UPS.
8. Reattach the front battery door with the four screws.
9. Reattach the front plastic bezel cover to the UPS.
NOTE
These are hot-swappable replacement batteries. However, caution
should be exercised because during this procedure the load is
unprotected from disturbances and power outages.
