Product Description 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 Liebert GXT3 is plugged in, even when the UPS is not turned On. DC-to-DC Converter The DC-to-DC converter raises the DC voltage from the battery to the optimum operating voltage for the inverter.
Product Description 1.5.3 Battery Mode The Liebert GXT3 enters Battery Mode when utility power fails or is outside acceptable values. The battery system supplies power through the DC-to-DC converter to the inverter to generate clean AC power for the connected loads. When the Liebert GXT3 enters Battery Mode, the UPS sounds a half-second beep at 10-second inter- vals.
• Inspect the UPS for shipping damage. If any shipping damage is found, report it to the carrier and your local dealer or your Emerson representative immediately. • Check the accessories included in packaging list. If there is any discrepancy, contact your local dealer or your Emerson representative immediately.
Installation 2.4.1 Tower Installation To install the Liebert GXT3 as a tower: 1. Take out support bases from the accessories (see Figure 7). Figure 7 Support bases Spacers Connectors Support Bases 2. If optional Liebert external battery cabinets will be connected to the Liebert GXT3, take out the spacers shipped with the battery cabinet.
UPS. They are used to move the UPS into and out of the rack and attach the UPS to the rack. • Mounting hardware and slide rails are sold separately. Contact your local Emerson representative for these options and any assistance.
Installation 5. Extend the bracket assembly by sliding the front member forward until it touches the rack’s front vertical rails (adjustable length: 18 to 32 inches [457-813mm]). Use two M5 screws to fix each front member onto the front vertical rails through the installation holes. Make sure that bracket assemblies are at the same mounting height on all four rack rails, as shown in Figure 13.
Installation Figure 16 Installing ears Liebert GXT3 UPS Ear, 2 pieces M4 Screw , 8 pieces 9. Insert the UPS, with inner members attached, into bracket assemblies by inserting top and bottom edges of inner members into the top and bottom, curved tracks of front members and sliding the UPS into rack, as shown in Figure 17.
Prepare an input power supply that is properly protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The wall receptacle must be grounded. Emerson recommends installing an upstream circuit breaker of the same series as the Liebert GXT3’s input circuit breaker.
Installation Connecting Communication Cables Communication cable connection includes: USB and option card cables. 2.6.1 Connecting USB Communication Cables 1. Take the USB communication cables out of the accessories box. 2. Insert one end of the USB communication cable to the USB port on the rear panel of the Liebert GXT3 (see Figures 3 and 5).
Controls and Indicators ONTROLS AND NDICATORS The operation and display panel, shown in Figure 18, is on the front panel of the Liebert GXT3 (see Figures 1 and 2). Figure 18 Operation and display panel Battery Level Indicators Load Level Indicators Fault Indicator Bypass Indicator AC Input Indicator...
Controls and Indicators Indicators The operation and display panel has seven indicators (see Figure 18). The indicators can be divided into two groups according to the applications: level indicators and UPS status indicators. 3.2.1 Level Indicators Battery Level Indicators The battery level indicator is composed of five sets of LED bars that illuminate and flash to indicate the battery capacity level.
Controls and Indicators 3.2.2 UPS Status Indicators UPS status is indicated by five symbols: fault indicator, AC input indicator, battery indicator, inverter indicator and bypass indicator. Table 5 shows the symbols and their meaning. Table 5 UPS status indicators UPS Status Indicator Icon Color...
• If none of the five Battery LEDs illuminate during the manual battery test a second time, replace the batteries, and contact your local Emerson representative or Emerson Channel Support. Manual Bypass Press the Standby/Manual Bypass button once while the UPS is in utility (AC) mode, the UPS will transfer the connected loads to the internal bypass.
Operation Disconnecting Input Power from the Liebert GXT3 1. Once the UPS has been shut down as detailed in 4.5 - Shut Down the Liebert GXT3, disconnect the input cable plug. 2. Wait 30 seconds and verify that all indicators have turned Off and the fan has stopped; this indicates that the power-off is complete.
Communication OMMUNICATION This chapter describes UPS communication over the three types of communication connections on the rear of the Liebert GXT3: • Liebert IntelliSlot port • USB port (standard B-type) • Terminal Block Communication CAUTION To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and for electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables should be segregated and run separate from all other power cables.
Communication USB Port Communication The standard B-type USB port is used to connect the UPS and network server or other computer sys- tem using Liebert MultiLink. Configuration program can be completed through the communication port. 5.2.1 Configuration Program Accessing the Configuration Program via USB is a new feature of the Liebert GXT3. For most users, the factory default settings will be adequate.
Communication Terminal Block Communication The Terminal Block includes eight pins, as shown in Figure 21. Figure 21 Terminal block layout Any Mode Shut Down Battery Mode Shut Down Battery Mode Low Battery 5.3.1 Any-Mode Shutdown The purpose of Any Mode Shutdown is to shut down the UPS output by turning Off the rectifier, inverter and bypass so that there is no power to the loads.
Communication 5.3.2 Battery Mode Shutdown Battery Mode Shutdown permits shutting down the UPS by turning Off the rectifier, inverter and bypass so that there is no power to the load when the UPS is On Battery. Battery Mode Shutdown can be performed locally or remotely: •...
The Liebert GXT3 is designed to allow the user to replace the internal battery pack safely. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your local dealer or Emerson representative to obtain the part number and pricing of the appropriate replacement battery pack.
The Liebert GXT3 charges the batteries continuously when it is connected to the utility input power. If the Liebert GXT3 will be stored for a long time, Emerson recommends connecting the UPS to input power for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries.
Channel Support. • Check if the battery is discharging: When the utility input is normal, the battery should not dis- charge. If the UPS is operating in Battery Mode, stop and contact your local Emerson representa- tive or Emerson Channel Support.
