INTRODUCTION & SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Congratulations on choosing the Liebert UPStation® GX UPS. It provides continuous,
conditioned power to microcomputers and other data processing equipment.

Upon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during transmission, it may be
subject to load variations or accidents that cause power problems like low voltage, voltage
spikes, or complete power failure. These problems may interrupt computer operations,
cause data loss, or even damage equipment.

The UPS protects against many of these disturbances. It smoothes out voltage variations
and during complete power failure, supports equipment long enough for an orderly
shutdown. These compact units are available in three ratings: 1000, 1500, and 2100 VA.
This manual includes specifications for each model.

The UPStation® GX is a compact ”on-line” UPS that supplies critical equipment with
continuous premium, computer-grade power. An ”On-line” UPS continuously generates
and regulates output power, whether utility power is present or not. In contrast, a ”standby”
UPS only generates output power when utility power fails.

The UPStation® GX supplies critical equipment with clean, sinewave power to simulate
utility-generated power. Equipment like computers, monitors, printers, phone systems, and
laboratory instruments operate best on sinewave power.

The LED bar displays indicate ”percentage load” and ”battery capaci
two levels of alarms during battery operation, self-diagnostics, and a combination battery
test / alarm silence switch.

To allow communications between the UPS and a LAN server or other computer system,
the UPStation’ GX UPS is equipped with an RS-232 interface port. This port provides
detailed operating information including voltages, currents, temperature, and alarm status
to the host system when used with Liebert SiteNet soft- ware. In addition, this port allows
remote programming of UPS operation and numerous internal operating parameters.

MAJOR INTERNAL UPS COMPONENTS

Surge Suppression and EMI/RFI Filters

These components provide surge protection and filter electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference present in the utility line. These components enable the UPS to supply pure
sinewave power to sensitive equipment.

Power Factor Correction Circuit

This circuit changes the utility AC input to DC for use by the inverter and ensures sinewave
input current to the UPS. Sinewave input achieves two things: increased power efficiency
and reduced power distortion.

Inverter

The inverter converts the DC output of the power factor correction circuit to regulated AC
sinewave power. During either normal utility power operation or battery operation, the
inverter continuously generates and regulates output power.

Charger

The charger regulates energy from the power factor correction circuit to continuously
charge the batteries. The charger operates whenever the UPS is ON. For maximum
battery charge life and power protection, leave the UPS ON.

Battery
The sealed, maintenance-free, spill-proof batteries in the UPStation® GX last for 5 years at
typical room temperatures and with normal charging. They maintain UPS output at full
rated power for 10 minutes. Reducing the load increases battery back-up time.

Bypass
This standard UPStation® GX feature provides an alternate power source to the output
automatically in the event of over-temperature or fault within the UPS. Audible and visual
alarms indicate Bypass operation. The UPS remains on Bypass until the user resets the
power switch by turning it OFF then ON.
CAUTION: Resetting the power switch causes loss of power to the outlet receptacles.
Perform all necessary shutdown procedures on critical loads before resetting the power
switch.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Unpack UPS, carefully noting the packing method. Retain packaging. To return the UPS,
re-pack as originally shipped. CAUTION: The units are heavy. The UGX1000RT-60
weighs 71 Ibs; the UGX1500RT-60 weighs 83 Ibs; the UGX2100RT- 60 weighs 97 lbs.
Take proper precautions when lifting or moving them.

Inspect UPS for freight damage. Contact the carrier and/or your distributor concerning
freight damage or missing parts.

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

NOTE: Use a utility receptacle with bonded neutral and ground to prevent UPS damage.

Damage due to faulty utility wiring is not covered by product warranty. The UPS will not
start with an incorrectly wired input AC supply, for example if the line and neutral wires are
reversed. In this situation, the UPS flashes all the LED indicators and sounds an alarm on
start-up.

High input voltage (132 volts and above) on start-up, causes the UPS to flash the
”NORMAL” indicator and sound an audible alarm. Low or unavailable input voltage (105
volts and below) terminates start-up and causes the UPS to illuminate the ”FAULT”
indicator and the first two segments of the ”LOAD” bar indicator.
If you encounter any of these conditions, call a qualified electrician.

Place UPS in a location of unrestricted airflow. Maintain a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm)
clearance at the front and rear of the UPS. Maintain an ambient temperature range of 50’
to 95’ F (10° to 35° C). NOTE: UPS operation in ambient temperatures above 77° F (25°
C) reduces battery life.

Locate UPS where it cannot be accidentally turned off, in an area free of moisture,
flammable liquids, gases, or corrosives.

RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION

1. Turn the ON/OFF switch at the front of the

UPS OFF. Remove tower-oriented template
inlay from the front display area. The

4. Gently lay the unit on its right side (when
viewing the unit from the front) and remove
the six rubber feet. Retain the screws from
the two front feet to fasten securing flanges.

5. Liebert offers kits for UPS rail or slide
installation. Install the UPS on rackmount
rails, slides or shelves. Use the installation
instructions which came with your rackmount
kit.

6. Switch OFF load equipment and plug it into
the UPS output receptacles. Plug UPS into
a dedicated and grounded wall receptacle,
properly protected by a circuit breaker or
fuse. Use a 15 amp device for the 1000 VA
or 1500 VA units, and a 20 amp device for

UPS OPERATION

Normal Mode

Normally, the utility supplies UPS power. The UPS filters and processes this power to
provide computer grade power to the loads. The UPS also ”float-charges” the batteries and
displays the % UPS output load on the LOAD bar.

Battery Mode

If the UPS senses low voltage or a power outage, the battery instantly supplies UPS power.
In battery mode, the UPS sounds an alarm, turns OFF the AC indicator, and lights the
BATTERY indicator. In this mode, the CAPACITY bar displays battery power remaining
before depletion. Initially, the UPS sounds a 1 second tone every 4 seconds, but increases
to 4 tones every second when there is approximately 2 minutes of battery time remaining.
The UPS supplies internal battery power to a full load for 10 minutes before shutdown.
Increase this time by turning OFF non-critical equipment. Do not turn OFF UPS in battery
mode while supporting a critical load.

Battery Recharge

Upon return of utility power, the UPS automatically reverts to normal operation and
recharges the battery. Significant battery discharge causes the CAPACITY bar to flash 1,
2, or 3 left most segments. As the battery charges, the segments stop flashing one by one
until all light steadily, indicating full charge.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS & INDICATORS

1. UPS Power Switch

The UPS ON/OFF switch controls both UPS input
power as well as output power to the loads. The ”I”
position signifies ON, and the ”0” position signifies
OFF. CAUTION: Resetting power switch causes
loss of power to output receptacles. Shutdown
critical loads before resetting power switch.

2. Load Bar Indicator

This 5-segment LED indicates relative electrical
load placed on the UPS. The left most 4 segments
are green, and the fifth segment is red. Each green
segment lights at 25% load increments (no LEDs
light until load on the UPS reaches 11%). Loads
beyond 100% causes the red fifth segment to light.

3. Capacity Bar Indicator

This 5-segment LED indicates the approximate battery capacity during battery mode or a
battery test. All segments light at full battery capacity and extinguish one by one in 20%
increments until complete battery depletion. Normally, all segments should light after 4
hours recharge. See battery run time curves.

During normal operation, battery capacity below 60% causes the CAPACITY bar to flash its
three left-most LED segments. To determine actual battery capacity, depress the ”Battery
Test” switch. Typically, the CAPACITY bar flashes following a power outage, when
batteries have not fully recharged. If after 4 hours of recharge (or in the test mode) the 3
left most LEDs still flash, contact Liebert Technical Support at 1-800-222-5877 and ask
about replacement batteries.

4. Battery Indicator (amber)

The UPS lights this indicator and sounds and alarm when in battery mode or during a
battery test.

5. Fault Indicator (red)

The UPS lights this indicator when it detects a fault. The UPS flashes this indicator and
sounds an alarm during over-temperature conditions.

6. AC Indicator (green)

When lit, this LED indicates input utility power is available and the UPS power switch is ON.
UPS flashes this LED and sounds an alarm with high input voltage.

7. Battery Test and Alarm Reset Switch

Normal Operation: Depress this switch to test battery capacity. The UPS operates in

battery mode as long as the switch is depressed. Observe how many segments in the
CAPACITY bar light to determine battery capacity. If the left three LEDs flash, replacement
batteries may be necessary. Contact Liebert Technical Support at 1-800-222-5877.
NOTE: As long as the Battery Test switch is depressed the batteries discharge and shorten
back-up time. Do not depress the switch longer than necessary, especially if the UPS
supports a heavy load.

Battery Mode: Press this switch for a half-second to silence on-battery alarms. Once
silenced, the UPS still sounds the low-battery alarm at the appropriate time. This switch
cannot reset over-temperature, fault, high AC input, or bypass alarms.

MONITORING & COMMUNICATIONS

The UPStation® GX UPS is capable of communicating with a stand-alone computer
system, LAN server, UNIX host, or terminal via an EIA standard DB-25 female connector
located on the rear of the unit.

The UPS typically uses this capability to provide status and power monitoring information to
the computer system. For instance, during a power outage, the operating system uses
UPS information to automatically save information in buffers, close files, and shutdown
operations in an orderly fashion prior to exhausting the UPS battery.

Depending on your system configuration, the operating system may monitor power via the
UPS and control UPS operations using a variety of interface hardware. The UPS
communication interface port provides the signals and control pins required by monitoring
and control applications.

Connect the UPS and your computer system with the appropriate cable and SiteNet®1
shutdown software (sold separately). Consult your local Liebert representative to
determine the correct software kit for your application.

Intelligent Communications
Serial Communications Port - Connection not to exceed NEC Class 2 limits. The DB-25

LED Indicators during a Fault Condition

ALARMS

Alarms indicate faults, power outages, and UPS battery operation. The tone pattern varies
according to the alarm:

On-Battery / Utility Failure Alarm - one beep every 4 seconds (greater than 2 minutes
battery time remaining). Silence this alarm by depressing the ”Alarm Reset” switch for a
half-second. After silencing it, the low battery alarm still sounds at the appropriate time.

Low Battery Alarm - 4 beeps per second (less than 2 minutes battery time remaining).
Silence this alarm by depressing the ”Alarm Reset” switch for a half- second.

UPS Shutdown - A long continuous tone occurs for a few seconds after the UPS is off.
Then the controls and display shut off.

High Temperature Alarm - This alarm, along with a flashing FAULT indicator, indicates
excessive internal UPS temperature. This alarm is two long beeps per second. Though
the UPS continues to support its critical load, correct the condition immediately. Poor
ventilation, prolonged overloads, or high-temperature environments may cause
overheating. Immediately save work in process and correct the problem.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the UPS shuts down due to a fault condition, the ”FAULT” indicator lights. The ”FAULT”
indicator also lights if the UPS exhausts its battery or receives a shut- down command via
its communication interface port.

In addition to the ”FAULT” light, one of several different LED segments in the ”LOAD” or
”CAPACITY” bar indicators light briefly also. These LED segments will indicate the name
of the fault condition and the reason for the
shutdown.

A. Over-temperature condition.
B. Output overload condition.
C. Internal fault.
D. UPS output is short-circuited.
E. Internal fault.
F. UPS shutdown due to battery exhaustion.
G. UPS shutdown on command from

communication interface port.

If only the Fault LED lights, it indicates the UPS is in Bypass mode.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on the next page to determine what to do if your UPS

shuts down and indicates one of the shutdown codes.
