Liebert GXT2-10000RT208 UPSs whether utility power is present or not. For ease and safety of installation, the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 is designed with short-circuit pro- tection and color-coded outlets for the UPS electrical connectors. The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 has three parallel ports to communicate with the UPSs.
During normal operation with parallel connection of three Liebert GXT2-10000RT208 UPSs, the par- allel POD supplies 20kVA of output power plus redundancy of one 10kVA UPS. With the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 N+1 redundancy design, the failure of one UPS will not affect the functioning of the overall system.

UPS Input / Output Circuit Breakers The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 is equipped with six circuit breakers (three input breakers and three output breakers). During normal operation in the paralleling system, input/output circuit breakers are in the On position. When installing or removing a UPS, the corresponding breakers should be switched to the Off position.
Parallel Communication Port The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 parallel POD has three 15-pin parallel communication ports on the upper right of the parallel POD. Several signals are provided on this port to communicate with each UPS. Use the parallel communication cables for the connection between the parallel POD and each UPS.
What You Need You will need the following tools for assembly of the parallel system connections. • 3/8" slotted screwdriver • Phillip #1 screwdriver • Phillip #2 screwdriver • 10mm hex driver • 5mm hex driver • 3/16" hex wrench •...
Liebert representative. Mount the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 in a Rack or on a Wall The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 may be mounted either in a rack or on a wall. When installing the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208, use the factory-supplied fixed brackets. Position the four fixed brackets at the screw holes—front, middle or rearmost—on either side of the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 that best fits the installation location desired and attach with included screws.
3. Put the field-supplied wall inserts into the holes. 4. Hold the parallel POD against the wall, aligned with the mounting holes and use field-supplied screws to attach the unit to the wall (see Figure 10). Figure 10 Mount the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 on a wall Installation...
Paralleling System Connections The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 is shipped with the input and output slots for UPS and the optional output power distribution section covered. Installation of the paralleling system requires: parallel power cables, fixed plates and cable clamps. These are included in Liebert GXT2-20KPC-6 kit (see Figure 7).

If the Liebert GXT2-10000RT-208 UPS was a stand-alone unit but now will be part of a paral- lel system, remove the input and output cables from the rear terminal block and cover the ter- minal block with the original conduit box. 10.
Main Input and Output Terminal Block Connections Conduit entry holes are provided on the front top of the removable cover plate for the parallel POD. Input and output wiring should be run in separate conduit. See the following requirements and label to connect the wires.
Before beginning to install the optional output distribution module, make sure the paralleling system and all connected UPSs are completely powered off. To add an optional output distribution module to the Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208: 1. Disconnect and secure utility power from the parallel POD and completely power Off all connected UPSs.
Parallel POD Main Electrical Connection—Must Be Installed Electrical connections are made through a removable conduit box that attaches to the top of the paral- lel POD. A branch breaker is required for short circuit or overcurrent protection. The installer must provide a 120A (@ 208V to 240V) branch circuit breaker.
NITIAL TARTUP AND This section includes the procedures on how to install the paralleling system for the first time and how to perform initial system checks of each UPS individually before connecting them in parallel. NOTICE Miswiring power to the input terminal block (L1-L2-N-G) may damage the UPS. For the initial installation, perform the following: 1.
ONFIGURATION The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 parallel POD allows connecting a maximum of three UPSs in paral- lel. See the following table for the maximum output power. Table 2 Maximum output power from paralleled UPSs Method Paralleling for Capacity Paralleling for Capacity...
PERATION Operating Modes 8.1.1 Online Mode NOTICE Verify the operation of each UPS as detailed in 6.0 - Initial Startup and Electrical Checks before powering On the parallel system as detailed below. To power On the paralleling system: 1. Connect all parallel power cables and parallel communication cables between the UPSs and parallel POD.
8.1.2 Bypass Mode WARNING Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Lethal voltages may exist within the UPS and parallel POD as long as the UPS is connected. Do not open the maintenance bypass breaker cover unless the operating procedure instructs you to do so or conditions require it.
8.1.3 Output Off Mode To transfer the paralleling system to Output Off Mode: 1. Make sure that each UPS is in Bypass Mode. If a UPS is not in Bypass Mode, press the UPS’ Off button once (see 8.1.2 - Bypass Mode). 2.
Add a Single UPS to the Online Paralleling System 1. Make sure that breakers on the UPS to be added and the corresponding breakers on the parallel POD are in the Off position. 2. Connect the parallel power cables between the UPS and the parallel POD. 3.
Replacing a Faulty Power Module or UPS Internal Battery 1. Press the UPS’ Off button twice within four seconds to turn off the UPS. The UPS will transfer to Output Off Mode. 2. Turn Off the input and output breakers on the UPS and the corresponding input and output breakers on the parallel POD.
Battery Low Voltage—Battery Mode See the following conditions when the battery low voltage is detected in the paralleling system. • If one UPS battery is running low, it will transfer to Output Off Mode. The other UPSs continue to supply power to the load. •...
OMMUNICATION Communication Interface The Liebert GXT2-PP20KRT208 parallel POD has three communication connectors for communica- tion between the UPSs. These connectors must not be used for any other monitoring applications. Each connected Liebert GXT2-10000RT208 UPS can be monitored as described in 2.4 - Liebert ™...
