IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This Manual Contains Important Safety Instructions. Read all safety and operating instructions
before operating the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in
this manual. Follow all operating and user instructions. This equipment can be operated by individu­als without previous training.

This product is designed for Commercial/Industrial use only. It 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. The UPS is designed for data processing equipment. If uncertain, consult your dealer.
See Limited Warranty.

This UPS is designed for use on a properly earthed (grounded), 220-240 VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz supply,
for installation by qualified personnel. A qualified electrician must review and approve customer sup­plied wiring, circuit breakers, intended loads, and verify correct input, output and earth connections
to ensure compliance with technical standards and local electrical codes of practice. Installation
instructions and warning notices only for use by qualified personnel are located after the UPS opera­tor instructions in this manual.

WARNING

!

This UPS should not be supplied from electrical power systems of the “IT” (Impédance à
Terre) type. (IEC 364-ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF BUILDINGS)

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY—This UPS complies with the requirements of the EMC
Directive 89/336/EEC and the published technical standards. Continued compliance requires installa­tion in accordance with these instructions and the use of manufacturer approved accessories only.

WARNING

!

This is a product for restricted sales distribution to informed partners. Installation
restrictions or additional measures may be needed to prevent radio interference.

Operate the UPS in an indoor environment only in an ambient temperature range of 0-40°C
(32-104°F). Install it in a clean environment, free from moisture, flammable liquids, gases and corro­sive substances.

This UPS contains no user serviceable parts. The UPS ON/OFF push buttons do not electrically iso­late internal parts. Under no circumstances attempt to gain access internally, due to the 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 the UPS performance alters in use. Refer all faults to your dealer.

Only trained engineers authorized by Liebert should perform troubleshooting. To replace batteries,
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your
local laws and regulations for disposal requirements.

Never block or insert any object into the ventilation holes or other openings.

DO NOT CONNECT equipment that could overload the UPS or demand DC current from the UPS,
for example: electric drills, vacuum cleaners, laser printers, hairdryers or any appliance using half
wave rectification.

Storing magnetic media on top of the UPS may result in data loss or corruption.

Turn the off UPS and isolate the UPS before cleaning. Use only a soft cloth, never liquid or aerosol
cleaners.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert UPStation GXT2-6000RT230 and GXT2-4500RT230
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 UPStation GXT2 protects equipment from
these disturbances.

The UPStation GXT2 comes in nominal power ratings of 4500 VA and 6000 VA. Complete model spec­ifications appear at the end of this manual.

The UPStation GXT2 is a compact, on-line UPS. An on-line UPS continuously conditions and regu­lates its output voltage, whether mains power is present or not. It supplies connected equipment with
clean sinewave power. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power.

For ease of use, the UPStation GXT2 features a light-emitting diode (LED) display to indicate both
load percentage and battery capacity. 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 UPStation GXT2 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. MultiLink software can also remotely control UPS operation.

2.1 Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) 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
mains line and keep the sensitive equipment protected.

2.2 Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit

In normal operation, the rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit converts mains 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 mains power is used as efficiently as possible by the UPS.

• The amount of distortion reflected on the mains is reduced.

This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building not being protected by
the UPStation GXT2.

2.3 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 mains 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.

2.4 Battery Charger

The battery charger utilizes energy from the mains power and precisely regulates it to continuously
float charge the batteries. The batteries are being charged whenever the UPStation GXT2 is con­nected to mains power.

4

2.5 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.

2.6 Battery

The UPStation GXT2 utilizes valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery
design life, operate the UPS

in an ambient temperature of 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Optional external battery cabinets are
available to extend battery run times.

2.7 Dynamic Bypass

The UPStation GXT2 provides an alternate path for mains 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
in the mains supply.
