INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert UPStation GXT™ 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, which may interrupt computer operations, cause data loss, or even
damage equipment. The UPStation GXT™ protects equipment from these
disturbances.
The UPStation GXT™, 208 VAC models comes in nominal power ratings of 1800
or 2700 VA. Complete specifications appear near the end of this section.
The UPStation GXT™ is a compact, “on-line” UPS.
An “on-line” UPS
continuously conditions and regulates its output voltage, whether the 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™ contains a light emitting diode (LED)
display to indicate either “load percentage” or “battery capacity” depending upon
the mode of operation. It also provides self diagnostics, a combination On/Alarm
Silence/Manual Battery Test button, a combination Off/Bypass button, and two
levels of alarms when the unit is operating on battery.
The UPStation GXT™ has an interface port for communications between the
UPS and a LAN server or other computer system. This port provides detailed
operating information including voltages, currents, and alarm status to the host
system when used in conjunction with Liebert SiteNet® software. SiteNet®
software can also remotely control UPS operation.
CAUTION: This equipment has been tested and complies with limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, which the user must correct at his own expense.

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, and 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™.
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-DC converter. In both modes of the operation, the UPS
inverter is on-line and continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC
output power.
BATTERY CHARGER
The battery charger utilizes energy from the utility power and precisely regulates
it to continuously “float” charge the battery system. The battery system charges
whenever the UPStation GXT™ is plugged in.
DC TO DC CONVERTER
The DC-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™ employs valve regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries.
At typical room temperatures and with the UPS float charging, the battery system
will last many years. Optional external battery cabinets are available to provide
extended run times. For battery run times, refer to the Typical Battery Discharge
Curves.
DYNAMIC BYPASS
The UPStation GXT™ 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, over temperature, or UPS failure condition, the UPS
automatically transfers the connected load to bypass. Bypass operation is
indicated by an alarm and an illuminated Bypass LED (other LED’s may be
illuminated to indicate the diagnosed problem). To manually transfer the
connected load from the inverter to bypass power, press the Off button once.
NOTE: The bypass power path does NOT protect the connected equipment
from disturbances on the utility supply.

batteries have been retested and the bottom two LEDs still do not illuminate,
contact your dealer or Liebert Technical Support (LTS) for a battery replacement
kit.
Off/Bypass Button
This button controls output power to connected load(s) and has dual functions:
Off and Bypass.
CAUTION: Pressing this button once will cause the load to be transferred to
bypass power. Pressing this button a second time within 4 seconds will result in
loss of power to the output sockets and connected loads. Perform all necessary
shutdown procedures on connected loads before pressing this button twice.
Load/Battery Level Indicators (4 Green, 1 Amber)
The Load/Battery Level indicators have dual functions. During normal mode
operation LED indicators display the approximate electrical load placed upon the
UPS; and during battery mode operation LED indicators display approximate
battery capacity. Refer to the Typical Battery Discharge Curves to determine the
approximate amount of back up time with respect to your connected load
percentage.
The UPStation GXT™ is equipped with automatic and remote battery test
features. The automatic test occurs every 14 days if utility has not been
interrupted (14 day timer resets if unit goes to battery). Should the battery fail
this test, the fault indicator along with the A and C diagnostic LEDs will illuminate
and an alarm will sound (refer to Troubleshooting Guide). The remote test
feature functions with either SiteNet® 2 or SiteNet® SNMP Manager software
and can remotely initiate the battery test.
Fault Indicator (Red)
The Fault indicator is illuminated if the UPS has detected a problem. Also, one or
more of the load/battery level indicators may be illuminated (refer to
Troubleshooting Guide).
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.

automatically increase the 1800 VA UPS VA and Watt rating to 2000 VA/1400W
and the 2700 VA UPS VA and Watt rating to 3000 VA/2100W.

OPERATION
NORMAL MODE OPERATION
During normal operation, utility power provides energy to the UPS. The filters,
the power factor conditioning 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 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 alarm.
The display template indicates the percentage of load on the UPS output. Figure

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-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 2
beeps every 5 seconds when battery runs low (approximately 2 minutes
remaining). 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 the Troubleshooting Guide.
For battery run times, refer to the Typical Battery Discharge Curves. To increase
this time, turn off non-essential pieces of equipment (such as idle computers and
monitors) or add the optional external battery cabinet.
CAUTION: Turning off the UPS while in battery mode will result in loss of output
power.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Liebert Corporation extends the following LIMITED WARRANTY to the
purchaser and to its customer (collectively referred to as the "Purchaser"): the
enclosed Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) and components are free from
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, service, and
maintenance FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF
ORIGINAL PURCHASE from Liebert or the Liebert dealer or retailer. THE
FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN AND NO
OTHER WARANTY IS PROVIDED, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Certain aspects of disclaimers are not applicable to
consumer products acquired by individuals and used for personal, family, or
household purposes (as distinguished from industrial or other purposes). Local
laws may not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights which vary according to local law.
Certain repairs or services are the responsibility of the Purchaser and the
Purchaser is expected to pay for them. This warranty does not extend either to
products with removed or altered serial numbers or to any losses or damages
due to act of God or source external to the product, misuse, accident, abuse,
neglect, negligence, unauthorized modification, alteration, or repair, use beyond
rated capacity, or improper installation, maintenance, application or use,
including, without limitation, use in a manner contrary to the accompanying
instructions or applicable codes. WARNING: Warranty is void if the battery is
allowed to discharge below the minimum battery cutoff point. To prevent such
discharge DO NOT leave the unit power switch "ON" for more than two (2) days
without AC power being supplied to the UPS. The battery must be recharged
every four (4) to six (6) months when not in use.
If the UPS fails to conform with the above warranty within the two year warranty
period, Liebert will repair or replace the UPS, at Liebert's option. Repairs or
replacements are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.
Purchaser, to make a warranty claim, should call 1-800-222-5877 to obtain a
Returned Goods Authorization number and shipping instructions. Return
transportation costs to Liebert are the responsibility of the Purchaser.

SUCH USE BY A USER AUTOMATICALLY VOIDS AND DISCLAIMS ANY
AND ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
