INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your choice of the 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 is a compact, “on-line” UPS. An “on-line” UPS continuously
conditions and regulates its output voltage, whether the mains power is present
or not. It supplies connected equipment with clean sinewave power. Sensitive
electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power. The GXT
6000/10000T-230X models have an additional output isolation transformer.
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 the SiteNet® 2 software. SiteNet® 2
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 mains line and keep the sensitive
equipment protected.

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 wave shape 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, and 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 GXT.
INVERTER
In normal operation, the inverter utilises 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 rectifier / PFC. 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 utilises energy from the Rectifier / PFC and precisely
regulates it to continuously “float” charge the battery system. The battery system
charges whenever the UPStation GXT is connected to mains power.
BATTERY
The UPStation GXT employs valve regulated, non-spillable, 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.
STATIC BYPASS
The UPStation GXT 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, over temperature, or UPS failure condition, the UPS automatically
transfers the connected load to BYPASS providing the bypass voltage is within
specification. 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 output OFF button once.
NOTE: The BYPASS power path does NOT protect the connected equipment
from disturbances on the mains supply and its range of operation is limited to +/-
15% of the nominal input supply voltage.
AUTO RE-START
Upon restoration of the mains AC power after a mains power outage and
complete battery discharge, the UPS will automatically restart and supply power
to the critical load and the battery charger automatically recharges the battery.

OPERATING MODES
NORMAL MODE OPERATION- UPS mode
During normal operation, mains power provides energy to the UPS. The filters,
the 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 LED’s 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.
Normal Mode Operation at
51-75% loading
The display template indicates the
percentage of load on the UPS output.
BATTERY MODE OPERATION
Battery mode occurs in event of an
extreme input voltage condition or
complete mains 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 mains problem
Battery Mode Operation at
81-100% battery capacity
has occurred. Each load/battery level indicator represents a 20% capacity level.
As capacity decreases, fewer indicators remain illuminated. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide.
To increase this time, turn off non-essential pieces of equipment (such as idle
computers and monitors) or add an optional external battery cabinet.
CAUTION: Turning off the UPS while in battery mode will result in loss of output
power.
Once mains power is restored, the UPS resumes normal operation. At this time,
the Battery Charger begins recharging the battery.

BYPASS MODE OPERATION
During BYPASS operation, mains
power provides energy to your load
and maintains the batteries in a fully
charged state.
The four green LED’s indicate an
approximate level of load in 25%
increments. If the BYPASS becomes
loaded beyond full rating, the fifth
(amber) LED indicator will illuminate
and sound an alarm.
Bypass Mode Operation at
51-75% loading
The display template indicates the
percentage of load on the output.
CAUTION: The BYPASS power path does not protect the connected equipment
from disturbances on the mains supply.

MAINTENANCE
The UPStation GXT UPS requires very little maintenance. The batteries are
valve regulated, non-spillable, lead acid, and should be kept charged to obtain
their designed life. The UPS continuously charges the batteries when connected
to the mains supply.
When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is recommended to apply power
to the UPS for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge
of the batteries. In no case should the unit be stored in excess of nine months
without recharge. Periodically, examine the vents on the front and rear of the
cabinet, and remove any obstructions from the surface of the vents.
15
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for use by competent personnel only.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Detailed instructions to help you install the UPS are provided in the following
pages; however, you should give some consideration to the proposed
environment in which the UPS is to be installed, and carry out some preparatory
work.
INSPECTION
Before you install the UPS, give it a thorough visual examination to ensure it has
not been subjected to shipping damage. If it is not in perfect condition, you
should advise both the shipper and the supplier immediately. DO NOT
ATTTEMPT TO INSTALL A DAMAGED UPS.
Check the UPS rating plate that the UPS is suitable for operation on your mains
voltage and load voltage requirements.
Before disposing of the UPS packaging, check that you have removed to a safe
place the user manual and any other items shipped with the unit to be used in its
installation.
CAUTION:
GXT6000 UPS weighs up to 139kg - GXT10000 UPS weighs up to 244kg.
Use adequate handling aids when moving or installing the UPS.
The UPS is fitted with castor wheels for easy movement. Take care when the
UPS is removed from its packing and being wheeled across an uneven floor
without the stabilisers fitted, that it does not tip over. See notes on
adjustment of levelling feet and stablisers.
LOCATION
Locate the UPStation GXT indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot
be accidentally disconnected. Locate it in an area with unrestricted airflow, away
from water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, or conductive contaminants.
Give consideration to the airflow requirements- (see below)- and allow at least
150mm (6inches) free space around the UPS, with a minimum of 300mm
(12inches) at the back to enable easy operator access to the rear panel mounted
input/output/battery circuit breakers.
Air vents are located at the front and the rear of the UPS. Do not position the
UPS in an enclosed space where airflow is restricted.
Optional battery cabinets are designed to be placed on either side of the UPS.
Electrical maintenance/servicing requires access to both sides of the UPS,
provide the necessary free space or use a flexible wiring system to allow the
UPS to be pulled forward.
Maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 - +40° centigrade (32-104° F)
NOTE- UPS operation in temperatures above 25°C (77°F) reduces battery life.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This UPS must be installed by competent electrical personnel and wired in
accordance with local/national electrical codes.
The following information is provided for your guidance.
WARNING
HIGH EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT- EARTH CONNECTION IS
ESSENTIAL BEFORE CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY. Earth in
accordance with local electrical codes.
CAUTION
This UPS is fitted with EMC suppression filters. Earth leakage
exceeds 35mA. Transient and steady state earth leakage currents,
which may occur when starting the UPS, should be taken into
account when selecting instantaneous RCCB or RCCD devices. Note
also that the earth leakage currents of the load will be carried by this
RCCB or RCCD.
WARNING
This UPS does not incorporate automatic backfeed protection.
A warning label must be fitted to all primary power isolators stating:
ISOLATE UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEM BEFORE WORKING ON
THIS CIRCUIT.
On start-up, the UPS will take a half cycle inrush current of up to 3 times the
rated current. This must be taken into account when selecting the overload
protection device at the input mains supply distribution point. To avoid random
tripping on start-up, we recommend that the input mains supply be protected with
an MCB capable of withstanding this initial inrush. An MCB specified as being
“TYPE 4” (British standard) or “CURVE D” (IEC standard) is suitable for this
purpose.
The mains input supply cable must be connected to the UPS via a wall mounted
double pole circuit breaker, rated to carry the current in table 1 and be capable of
breaking the maximum prospective short circuit current of this branch circuit. The
breaker is to be mounted within two metres of the UPS and be readily accessible
to the operator.
17
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The UPS is supplied with an input/output/ battery terminal block assembly on the
rear of the UPS within a cable box. (see outline drawing) The cable box can be
removed to enable knockouts to be removed or new holes drilled, to secure the
cables.
The cable sizes and distribution methods used during installation are subject to
local/ national electrical codes of practice , and therefore are not detailed here.
However, table 1 gives details of the input current and the UPS rating plate gives
details of the output current according to output voltage selected.
The terminals will accept wire sizes up to the values below:
GXT6000 = 10 mm2
GXT10000 = 16mm2
18
Connecting the UPS Power cables
Power cables connect to screw terminals on a terminal block that is located
behind the rear mounted cable box (see figure). The cables enter the UPS
through a Gland Plate attached to the rear of the UPS. The Gland Plate must first
be removed and drilled to suit the glands or bushes for the cables used. Ensure
that the glands are sized so that they hold the cables securely.

19
Stabilisers/Levelling Feet
When the UPS is located in its final position before or after wiring, it is necessary
to fit stabiliser brackets and, if necessary, adjust the levelling feet. If the UPS is
wired using a rigid wiring system, then movement of the UPS must be prevented
by winding down the 4 levelling feet under the UPS as shown below. For UPS
wired with flexible cables, this is optional. Note- Access to the levelling feet is
obstructed by the stabiliser brackets, on the GXT10000 models.
Adjust the levelling feet as necessary using
a
12mm open ended
spanner/wrench. DO NOT LOOSEN THE LARGER NUT ABOVE, AS THIS
FIXES THE LEVELLING FEET TO THE CHASSIS.
Attach the stabilising brackets as follows.
GXT6000 models:
1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws(4) from each of the
bottom corners of the side panels.
2. Attach the stabilising brackets to each corner using screws just removed.

COMMISSIONING THE UPS
Output Voltage Selector Switches
The Output Voltage Selector Switches, located on the rear of the UPS, are
designed to allow selecting or changing the desired output voltage to match the
mains. The settings to choose from are 208, 220, 230, and 240 VAC output.
230 & 230X Units
208 V
220 V
230 V
240 V
áá - both switches up
áâ - first switch up, second down
ââ - both switches down (Factory Default)
âá - first switch down, second up
NOTE: NEVER change the switch settings while UPS is on and powering
connected loads.
NOTE: Setting output voltage to 208 VAC will cause UPS unit to be derated to
90% of the VA and Watt rating listed in specification section.
1. Adjust the output voltage switch settings to the desired value.
2. Follow the instructions for Powering up the UPS referenced earlier in this
manual. Sequence through the operating modes, using the front panel
pushbuttons, in accordance with operating instructions to check functionality
of the UPS.
3. Set the UPS to UPS mode. Check on the output terminals of the UPS, for the
correct output voltage for the voltage rating of the intended loads.
4. Check operation of the remote shutdown circuit (If fitted).
5. In UPS mode, power up customers load and check that it is within the UPS
rating by observing the front panel LED’s
6. In UPS mode, press the UPS ON/ALARM /BATTERY TEST pushbutton to
carry out battery test and ensure the load can be supported. Note- Full
battery capacity will not be available until a battery recharge cycle has been
completed.
The UPS is now ready for service In case of problems refer to the fault finding
section or call your local distributor for advice.

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, unauthorised
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 cut-off
point. 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 to obtain a Returned Goods Authorisation number and
shipping instructions. Return transportation costs to Liebert are the
responsibility of the Purchaser.
