2.0 INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 Uninterruptible Power
Supply (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 is
subject to voltage sags, spikes or complete power failure that may interrupt computer operations,
cause data loss or even damage equipment. The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 protects equipment
from these disturbances.
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 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 sinewave power. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power.
For ease of use, the UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 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/Battery Test button, a Standby button, user configurable program and two
levels of alarms when the unit is operating on battery.
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 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’s
MultiLink™ software. MultiLink software can also control UPS operation remotely.

3.1 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 utility line and keep the sensitive equipment protected.
3.2 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 UPStation GXT2-6000RT208.

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 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.
3.4 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 UPStation GXT2-6000RT208
is plugged in, even when the UPS is not turned on.

Page 12
3.5 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.
3.6 Battery
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 utilizes valve-regulated, nonspillable, flame retardant, 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.
3.7 Dynamic Bypass
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 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 indicator (other indicators may be illuminated to indicate the diagnosed problem).
The user may manually transfer the connected load from the inverter to bypass by pressing the
Standby button once.
NOTE
The bypass power path does NOT protect the connected equipment from disturbances
on the utility supply.

7.0 INITIAL STARTUP AND ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Initial Startup and the Configuration Program—The UPS ships with a default 120 VAC L-N
setting. This is also the most robust setting in that it can operate with either input phase angle (120
or 180 degrees). Perform initial system checks first. If the UPS configuration needs to be modified for
your application, then go to the next section to review use of the configuration program. Some configuration changes require that the UPS be in the OFF mode while powered from the utility. Therefore,
the installer must confirm that the UPS input has been properly wired. After re-configuring your
UPS, the UPS may be put into service with the intended loads.
Hardwire Input Connections (For L14-30P Plug-in Connections, skip to 7.1 - L14-30P Plug-in Con-
nections—Including the PD-001 Distribution Box.)
WARNING
!
Miswiring power to the input terminal block (L1-L2-N-G) or connecting to single phase
voltages (L-N-G only) may damage the UPS.
1. Verify that the Input and Output circuit breakers are off.
2. During initial system checks, disconnect all loads (open load disconnects).
3. Inspect all wiring, cables and connection.

8.0 CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
The final step of installation may require custom configuration of your UPS using the enclosed configuration program. Some configuration settings may be changed only while the UPS is off. These should
be set before the UPS is put into full time service powering the critical load.
For most users operating with 120 VAC L-N and with no external batteries, the factory default settings will be adequate. This manual illustrates the features available for modification, as well as the
factory default setting.
The factory default L-N setting is 120 VAC. When first powered by the AC input, the UPS will autosense the utility phase angle between L1 and L2, setting the UPS to operate as either a 120/208 VAC
system (120 degrees, leading or lagging) or a 120/240 VAC system (180 degrees).
If your application requires that the L1-N, L2-N voltages be set at 100, 110, 115 or 127 VAC, the corresponding phase angle between L1 and L2 is restricted. The VAC settings of 100, 110 and 115 may
work only with a phase angle of 180 degrees. A VAC setting of 127 VAC will work only with a phase
angle of 120 degrees (leading or lagging).
To confirm the phase angle of the utility input, measure the L1-N, L2-N and L1-L2 VAC of the utility
input that is intended for the UPS. If the measured L1-L2 voltage is equal to the average L-N voltage
times 2.0, then the phase angle is 180 degrees and the L-N VAC may be set at 100, 110, 115 or 120
VAC. The nominal L1-L2 voltages for these four settings will be 200, 220, 230 or 240 VAC, respectively.
If the measured L1-L2 voltage is equal to the average L-N voltage times 1.73, then the phase angle is
120 degrees and the L-N VAC may be set at either 120 or 127 VAC. The nominal L1-L2 voltages for
these two settings will be 208 or 220 VAC, respectively.
Configuration Program
Selecting a L-N nominal voltage that is not compatible with the L1-L2 phase angle detected by the
UPS when AC input is applied will result in a fault alarm and the UPS will not operate from utility
power.

8.3 Establishing Communication Link with the UPS
Use only the serial communication cable supplied with the configuration program. If an accessory
communication card has been installed in the UPS’s communication card slot, the option card must be
removed while using the configuration program.
Use the serial communication cable to connect your computer’s COM1 port to the DB-9 communication port on the rear of the UPS. COM2 may also be used. If the COM port of the host computer has
only a DB-25 pin connector, a DB-25 to DB-9 adapter must be added.
The program may be used while the UPS is on to read and confirm the current settings. The UPS
must be off and powered by the AC utility when using the configuration program to change any UPS
setting. Any attempt to change a setting while the UPS is on will result in an error message.
Select Lbt_gxt2.exe from the program group to start the configuration program. The program will
search COM1 & COM2 for a properly connected GXT 2U™ UPS. When the UPS is found, the opening
program window will display the UPS model.
If the configuration program ever fails in its attempt to read data from a UPS, the error message
below will be displayed. The program must communicate with the UPS when it first opens, when a
new tab is opened and when the REFRESH, APPLY or OK buttons are pressed.
Configuration Program
If this message is displayed, check the following items:
1. Verify that the serial communication cable is connected properly.
2. Verify that the COM port being used is designated COM1 or COM2.
3. Verify that the UPS is either in Inverter mode, Bypass mode, Battery mode or Off with AC power
available at the input (AC Input indicator on). In all cases, the rear fan will be running.
4. Verify that the COM port is not in use by other UPS communication software (or non-UPS
software). If MultiLink UPS software is installed on the computer, the MultiLink service must be
stopped to free the COM port. MultiLink typically restarts automatically whenever the computer
restarts.
5. The UPS serial port is in use by an internal, optional communication card in the UPS card slot.
Remove the option card.
6. The program is connected to a UPS that was not designed for this program.

8.5.1 Output Voltage
The Output Voltage displayed is the nominal input/output voltage. This is not a voltmeter and will
display the nominal voltage whether the UPS is on or off. The drop down box will show the alternate
voltages available. Select the voltage that matches the nominal utility in your location.
8.5.2 Auto Restart
The UPS will provide computer grade power during power outages. If input power is unavailable for
an extended time, the UPS will shut down when batteries are depleted or a shutdown signal is sent by
the computer operating system to limit battery depletion (serial data or contact closure). If Auto
Restart is enabled (check mark in box), the UPS will restart when input power is restored. If the UPS
turns off power to the load for any other reason, manual restart is required (See 8.6 - Options Tab
for exceptions). Click on the box to remove the check mark and disable Auto Restart.
8.5.3 L-N Reverse Detection (120V UPS Models Only)
Proper wiring of the receptacle powering the UPS is critical for safety, EMI suppression and surge
suppression. The UPS checks the outlet when first plugged in. If the Line-Neutral is reversed or the
ground is missing, the UPS will not start. If a problem is detected after the UPS is started, the UPS
will continue to operate, but the AC Input indicator will flash. In some unique applications the user
may wish to disable this alarm. Except for special situations, improperly wired receptacles should be
immediately repaired before the UPS is put into service. Click on the box to remove the check mark
and disable this alarm.
23
Page 30
8.5.4 Frequency Selection
The UPS is normally designed for 50Hz or 60Hz operation. The factory default corresponds to the
model. All models are capable of being used as 50Hz or 60Hz systems. The UPS will automatically
sense the utility frequency when first plugged in and set the nominal frequency to match. Therefore,
for all normal use the Auto Sense button should be selected.
Some special applications require that the UPS be used as a frequency converter. Frequency converter 50Hz or frequency converter 60Hz may be selected.
Note that frequency converter operation disables the Bypass. If, for any reason, the UPS inverter is
unable to power the load, the alternate bypass to utility power will not be available and power will be
removed from any load.
8.6 Options Tab
Computer users may choose to use versatile computer shutdown software that communicates
with the UPS via a serial communications cable.
The Options tab should not be used to modify the
UPS functions for such applications.
For some industrial applications and special
computer applications, the UPS may be monitored and controlled using external voltages and
relay contact signals. The Options tab expands
the UPS versatility for such applications.
Configuration Program
Refer to your UPS manual for a description of the
9-pin communication connector on the rear of the
UPS. Pin 6 of the 9-pin communication connector
is used for “Any Mode Shutdown” of the UPS output. This control input may be used in special
applications to disable the UPS output power both Inverter and Bypass.
The Options tab allows the behavior of the Any
Mode Shutdown feature to be modified.
When the program opens or the REFRESH button is pressed, the UPS setting is read by the
configuration program and displayed.

Controls and Indicators
9.3 L1 & L2 Load Level Indicators (Two Rows of Indicators: 4 Green, 1 Amber)
The Load Level indicators display the approximate electrical load placed upon both output legs of the
UPS at all times. Each indicator represents an approximate 25 percent increase in load. For optimum
utilization of the UPS, distribute L-N loads to approximately balance the loads on L1 and L2.
9.4 Battery Level Indicators (5 Green)
The Battery Level indicators display approximate battery capacity at all times. Each indicator represents an approximate 20 percent increase in battery capacity.
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 is equipped with automatic and remote battery test features. The
automatic test occurs every 14 days (this option is user-configurable) if utility has not been interrupted. Should the battery fail this test, the red Fault indicator along with the A and C diagnostic
indicators will illuminate and an alarm will sound (refer to 13.0 - Troubleshooting). The remote
test feature functions with MultiLink 3 software and can remotely initiate the battery test.
9.5 Fault Indicator (Red)
The Fault indicator is illuminated if the UPS has detected a problem. Also, one or more of the Battery
Level indicators may be illuminated (refer to 13.0 - Troubleshooting section).
9.6 Bypass Indicator (Amber)
The Bypass indicator is illuminated when the UPS is operating from bypass power. An alarm will
sound indicating the UPS detected a problem or the manual bypass function has been activated.
9.7 UPS ON Indicator (Green)

29
Page 36
10.0 MODES OF OPERATION
10.1 Normal Mode Operation
During normal operation, utility power provides energy to
the UPS. The filters, power factor correction circuit and the
inverter process this power to provide computer grade
power to connected loads. The UPS maintains the batteries
in a fully charged state. The four green Load Level indicators display an approximate level of load in 25% increments.
If the UPS becomes loaded beyond full rating, the fifth
(amber) indicator will illuminate and the UPS will sound an
audible alarm. The display template indicates the percentage of load (see example at right) on the UPS output.
10.2 Battery Mode Operation
Battery mode occurs in event of an extreme input voltage
condition or complete utility failure. The battery system
supplies power through the DC to DC converter to the
inverter to generate power for the connected load. During
battery mode an alarm sounds every 10 seconds. This will
change to two beeps every 5 seconds when the battery runs
low (approximately 2 minutes remaining, but this is user
configurable). The AC Input indicator will extinguish and
the Battery indicator will illuminate to warn that a utility
problem has occurred. Each Battery Level indicator represents a 20% capacity level. As capacity decreases, fewer
indicators remain illuminated. Refer to 13.0 - Trouble-
shooting. For approximate battery run times, refer to
Table 7 - Battery run times. These times are approximate
based on resistive load and an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C). To increase this time, turn off
non-essential pieces of equipment (such as idle computers and monitors) or add the optional external
battery cabinet.
Modes of Operation
Normal Mode Operation
Batteries at 100% charge
L1 Load at 10%, L2 Load at 90%
Battery Mode Operation
Batteries at 30% charge
L1 Load at 60%, L2 Load at 60%
CAUTION
!
Turning OFF the UPS while in battery mode will result in loss of output power.
10.3 Battery Recharge Operation
Once utility power is restored, the UPS resumes normal operation. At this time, the Battery Charger
begins recharging.

11.2 Pin 4 - 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 auto-restart setting: enabled
or disabled.
If the auto-restart is disabled, the UPS will not restart after performing the 2-minute shutdown
delay.
11.3 UPS Intelligent Communications
Communications
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 is equipped with an Intellislot® port to provide advanced communication and monitoring options.
Liebert’s MultiLink software continually monitors the UPS and can shut down your computer or
server in the event of an extended power failure.
MultiLink can also be configured for use without the serial cable when the Intellislot SNMP/Web card
is installed in the UPS. Additionally, MultiLink can be configured to coordinate shutdown across the
network with other computers running MultiLink when you purchase a MultiLink License Kit. For
more information about the Intellislot SNMP/Web Card and MultiLink License Kits, visit our Web
site (www.liebert.com) or contact your local dealer or Liebert representative.
Several option cards are available for use in the Intellislot port of the UPStation GXT2-6000RT208
The Intellislot SNMP/Web Card provides SNMP and Web-based monitoring and control of the UPS
across the network.

12.0 MAINTENANCE
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 requires very little maintenance. The batteries are valve-regulated,
non-spillable, flame retardant, lead acid and should be kept charged to obtain their design life. The
UPS continuously charges the batteries when connected to the utility supply.
When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is essential to plug the UPS in for at least 24 hours
every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries. Failure to recharge the batteries periodically will permanently degrade battery capacity.
The UPStation GXT2-6000RT208 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.

Or the phase angle has changed while the UPS was
running. The phase angle is detected at startup and
cannot be changed to a different power source while
running.
Turn the UPS Off and wait until the fans stop. Apply input
AC power. The UPS will reprogram the phase angle to
match the utility, if the utility is 120, 180 or 240 degrees

13.1 Auto-Learning Battery Run Times
As batteries age, the estimated run times may become less accurate. The GXT2-6000RT208 is programmed to “learn” from a full battery discharge and modify the estimated run time for the measured
battery capacity. This can improve accuracy and compensate for aging batteries or batteries that
operate at different ambient temperatures.
The UPS will update the anticipated run time calculation only under certain conditions.
• The UPS must have a steady load that is greater than 20%.
• The UPS must be at 100% charge at the start of a battery discharge.
• The battery discharge must continue uninterrupted until the batteries reach their end-of-discharge voltage.
If all conditions are not met, the run time calculation will not be modified.
If the configuration program is used to change the number of battery cabinets, then the values in the
battery table on the right will be restored. This will override any value that is automatically learned.
