2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The GE (General Electric) Digital Energy GT Series UPS, a truly on-line uninterruptible power supply, protects
your equipment from all forms of power interference, including complete power failures.
2.2 INTENDED USE
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) are designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment such as
computers and telecommunications equipment from all forms of power interference, including complete
power failure.
CAUTION!
DO NOT plug household appliances such as electric heaters, toasters or vacuum cleaners into
the UPS. The UPS output is intended to be used only for electronic loads such as computers and
telecommunications equipment.
• The technical data as well as information concerning connecting requirements can be found on the rating
label and in this document and shall be strictly observed.
2.3 TRANSPORT / STORAGE
NOTE
Check for sufficient floor and elevation loading capacity. Move the UPS in its original package
to the final destination room. Do not stack other package on top.
BE CAREFUL!
Pay attention to the HEAVY WEIGHT of the UPS when downloading the UPS from the pallet!
Never try to lift the unit by yourself!
• No liability can be accepted for any transport damage when the equipment is shipped in non-original
packaging.
• Store the UPS in a dry location with the batteries in a fully charged state. Storage temperature must be
within -20 +45 °C. If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, optimal battery lifetime is obtained if
the storage temperature does not exceed 25°C.
• If the unit is stored for an extended period of time, the batteries must be recharged periodically. Connect
the unit to a wall outlet and recharge the batteries for 24 hours:
- if the storage temperature is within -20 and +30°C: every 3 months,
- if the storage temperature is within -20 and +45°C: every 1 month.
CAUTION
In case of storage, pay attention to:
2.4 WARRANTY

3.2 INSTALLATION RULES
IMPORTANT
Before making any connection and switching on the GT Series UPS, please check the following
conditions:
• Your mains supply is 220 - 240 Volts and 50 Hz (if the mains frequency is 60Hz, the output frequency of the
UPS can be changed, see note in section 4.4.4), and
• The total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of the GT
Series UPS (the rear panel of the UPS shows the model, chapter 9 the ratings).
• Avoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C. Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient
temperature does not exceed 30°C.
• It is important that ventilation air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.
• The branch circuit supply has to be protected as follows:
UPS model branch protection
GT Series 6kVA 25A slow
GT Series 10kVA 50A slow
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire, connect the UPS only to a circuit provided with the fuse values
according to the above.

3.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The UPS can be used in a stand alone tower format using the two supporting stands (section 3.3.2), or can
be mounted in a 19 inch rack using the two mounting brackets (section 3.3.1). All required items are
included in the delivery, except rails – available as railkit option.
NOTE
The UPS output sockets are live as soon as the UPS is connected to the mains, even if the UPS
has not been switched on via the front panel.
3.3.1 Rackmount installation – preparations
1. Place the UPS and matching
battery cabinet horizontally on
a flat surface.
2. Install the two mounting
brackets that came with the
unit using the provided screws
(2, fig. 3.3.1).
3. Mount the front panel by
pushing the plastic part into
the appropriate holes (3, fig.
3.3.1).
4. Install the UPS into a 19’ rack.
The UPS cabinet must be
supported by mounting rails,
do not mount it by using the
mounting brackets only. Fix
the mounting brackets on the
19 inch enclosure with screws.
fig. 3.3.1
NOTE
Please consider the weight of the UPS (see section 9) prior to installation to ensure the rack or
floor are capable of supporting the weight. For rack installation we recommend that the UPS
is placed in the lower section of the rack. Fit the unit and the battery into the rack cabinet with
the help of a second person.
The GT Series UPS is now ready for further connections. Please proceed with section 3.3.3.
