Rectifier /
PFC
The operating principle of the UPS is illustrated in Figure 7.
Figure 7Operating principle diagram
Product Description
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 GXT4 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 GXT4’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 GXT4.
Inverter
In normal operation, the Liebert GXT4’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.
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 GXT4 is plugged in,
even when the UPS is not turned On.
Liebert® GXT4
™
8
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 GXT4 uses valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design
life, operate the Liebert GXT4 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 GXT4 provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected loads in the unlikely
event of a UPS malfunction. Should the Liebert GXT4 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 the following: Mains (AC) Mode, Bypass Mode, Battery Mode,
Battery Recharge Mode, Active ECO Mode and Frequency Converter Mode.
Refer to 9.0 - Specifications for details about the operating mode indicators and control buttons.
Product Description
1.5.1Mains Mode
During Mains Mode, the mains provides input power to the Liebert GXT4. The filters, PFC circuit
and inverter process this power to provide high-quality sine wave power to connected loads. The UPS
maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.
1.5.2Manual Bypass Mode
Manual Bypass Mode occurs when the unit is manually placed in internal bypass by navigating the
LCD display menu to select 3 Control > 1 Turn On & Off > Turn UPS Bypass. Bypass operation is
indicated by an audible alarm and illuminated amber bypass indicator. (If other indicators are
illuminated, refer to 7.0 - Troubleshooting). During Bypass Mode, mains power bypasses the
inverter and provides energy to the connected load.
NOTICE
Risk of loss of power to the connected load. Can cause equipment damage.
Turning Off the UPS in Bypass Mode will result in loss of output power to the connected load.
9Liebert
®
GXT4
™
1.5.3Battery Mode
!
The Liebert GXT4 enters Battery Mode when mains power fails or is outside acceptable limits. The
battery system supplies power through the DC-to-DC converter to the inverter to generate clean AC
power for the connected loads.
When the Liebert GXT4 enters Battery Mode, the UPS sounds a half-second beep at 10-second
intervals. When approximately 2 minutes of run time remains, the beeps sound every 5 seconds to
warn that the battery is getting low (this Low Battery Warning is user-configurable).
In Battery Mode, the battery indicator will illuminate and the LCD will show the prompt utility power not available.
Press either the Up or Down button once, then press the Enter button to clear the prompt and silence
the audible alarm. Once the alarm prompt has been acknowledged, the screen showing the estimated
battery run time and battery capacity will be visible. Refer to 7.0 - Troubleshooting.
For approximate battery run times, refer to Table 17.
NOTICE
Risk of loss of power to the connected load. Can cause equipment damage.
Turning Off the Liebert GXT4 when it is in Battery Mode will result in loss of output power to
the connected load.
If the UPS is turned Off manually, it must be manually restarted after mains power returns.
If the UPS is turned Off by a communication signal or because the batteries are depleted, it
will operate as set in the configuration program for Auto-Restart (Refer to 5.2.1 - Configuration Program).
Product Description
1.5.4Battery Recharge Mode
Once mains power is applied to the Liebert GXT4, the Battery Charger begins charging the batteries.
1.5.5Frequency Converter Mode
All models of the Liebert GXT4 are capable of frequency conversion. Frequency Conversion Mode can
be selected using the configuration program. Allowable frequency operating modes include:
• Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass Enabled
• Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 50Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 60Hz – Bypass Disabled
NOTE
The default for all models of the Liebert GXT4 is “Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass
Enabled.”
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
Never touch the AC input receptacle while the UPS is operating. Voltage may still be present
even when the AC input indicator is Off.
1.5.6Active ECO Mode
All Liebert GXT4 models can operate in Active ECO Mode. In this mode, the connected equipment is
powered through the bypass path to increase efficiency, reducing the electrical costs.
Active ECO mode keeps the rectifier and inverter operating, allowing the inverter to remain
synchronized to bypass. This synchronization allows the transfer of the connected equipment to UPS
inverter power almost seamlessly if bypass power falls outside the user-set limits. Once bypass power
returns within the acceptable parameters, the UPS will return to Active ECO Mode operation.
The default setting is Active ECO Mode Off.

6. Unpack the new internal battery pack. Take care not to destroy the packing.
Compare the new and old internal battery pack to make sure they are the same type and model. If
so, proceed with Step 7; if they are different, stop and contact your local Emerson representative,
or Emerson Channel Support.
7. Line up and slide in the new internal battery pack.
8. Reconnect the battery plug and battery receptacle
9. Push the battery wire and internal battery pack back into the UPS.
10. Reattach the front battery door with the six screws.
11. Reattach the front plastic bezel cover to the UPS.
NOTE
The internal battery pack is hot-swappable. However, caution should be exercised because
during this procedure the load is unprotected from disturbances and power outages. Do not
replace the battery while the UPS is operating in Battery Mode. This will result in a loss of
output power and will drop the connected load.
6.2Battery Charging
The batteries are valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid and should be kept charged to attain their
design life. The Liebert GXT4 charges the batteries continuously when it is connected to the utility
input power.
If the Liebert GXT4 will be stored for a long time, Emerson recommends connecting the UPS to input
power for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries.
Maintenance
6.3Precautions
Although the Liebert GXT4 has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety, improper
use can result in electrical shock or fire. To ensure safety, observe the following precautions:
• Turn Off and unplug the Liebert GXT4 before cleaning it.
• Clean the UPS with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never block or insert any objects into the ventilation holes or other openings of the Liebert GXT4.
• Do not place the Liebert GXT4 power cord where it might be damaged.
6.4Checking UPS Status
Emerson recommends checking the UPS operation status every six months.
• Check if the UPS is faulty: Is the Fault Indicator On? Is the UPS sounding an alarm?
• Check if the UPS is operating in Bypass mode: Normally, the UPS operates in Normal Mode; if it
is operating in Bypass Mode, stop and contact your local Emerson representative or Emerson
Channel Support.
• Check if the battery is discharging: When the utility input is normal, the battery should not
discharge. If the UPS is operating in Battery Mode, stop and contact your local Emerson
representative or Emerson Channel Support.
6.5Checking UPS Functions
NOTE
UPS function check procedures may interrupt power supply to the connected load.
Emerson recommends checking the UPS functions once every six months.
Back up the load data before conducting the UPS functions check. Procedures are as follows:
1. Press the Standby/Manual Bypass button to check whether the alarm and indicators are normal.
2. Press the On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button to check again whether the indicators
are On and the UPS is operating normally.
3. Press the On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button for three seconds after Inverter Mode;
the UPS should initiate battery self-test. Check to determine whether the battery is operating
normally. If not, stop and contact your local Emerson representative or Emerson Channel
Support.
