INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert UPStation GXT 2U™ 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 GXT 2U protects equipment from these disturbances.
The UPStation GXT 2U comes in nominal power ratings of 700, 1000,
1500, 2000 and 3000 VA. Complete model specifications appear at the
end of this manual.
The UPStation GXT 2U 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 GXT 2U 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 UPStation GXT 2U 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.

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.
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 GXT 2U.
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.
5
Page 10
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 GXT 2U is plugged in, even when
the UPS is not turned on.
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 UPStation GXT 2U 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.
DYNAMIC BYPASS
The UPStation GXT 2U 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 alarm and illuminated 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
AC INPUT BATTERY UPS ON BYPASS
The UPS maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.
Normal Mode Operation at 50%
The four green LEDs indicate an approximate level of load in 25% increments. If the UPS becomes loaded beyond full rating, the fifth (amber)
LED indicator will illuminate and sound an audible alarm. The display
template indicates the percentage of load (50% of load shown in example) on the UPS output.
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 battery runs low
(approximately 2 minutes remaining, but this is user configurable). The AC
Input LED will extinguish, and the Battery LED will illuminate to warn that a
utility problem has occurred. Each load/battery level indicator represents a
20% capacity level. As capacity decreases, fewer indicators remain illuminated. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
For approximate battery run times, refer to Battery Run Times charts in
this manual. To increase this time, turn off non-essential pieces of equipment (such as idle computers and monitors) or add the optional external
battery cabinet.

PIN 4 - REMOTE SHUTDOWNON 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.
UPS INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATIONS
The UPStation GXT 2U 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 GXT 2U. The Intellislot SNMP/Web Card provides SNMP and
Web-based monitoring and control of the UPS across the network.
The Intellislot MultiPort 4 Card allows you to install MultiLink software on
four computers and coordinate shutdown in the event of a power failure.
The Intellislot Relay Card provides five dry contact relay outputs for
custom wired applications and delivers support for built-in shutdown for
AS/400 systems.
CAUTION
!
To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and for
electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables should be
segregated and run separate from all other power
cables, where applicable.
