This UPS contains no user serviceable parts except the internal battery packs and the rear input line fuses. The UPS ON/Standby push buttons do not electrically isolate internal parts. Under no circumstances attempt to gain access internally other than to replace the batteries due to risk of electric shock or burn.

1500, 2000 and 3000 VA. Complete model specifications appear at the end of this manual. The UPStation GXT 2U is a compact, “on-line” UPS. An on-line UPS con- tinuously conditions and regulates its output voltage, whether utility power is present or not. It supplies connected equipment with clean sinewave power.
The amount of distortion reflected on the utility is reduced This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the build- ing not being protected by the UPStation GXT 2U. NVERTER In normal operation, the inverter utilizes the DC output of the power factor correction circuit and inverts it into precise, regulated sinewave AC power.
YNAMIC YPASS The UPStation GXT 2U 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, overtemperature, or UPS failure condition, the UPS automatically transfers the connected load to bypass.

INSTALLATION REPARATION 1. Visually inspect the UPS for freight damage. Report damage to the carrier and your local dealer or Liebert representative. CAUTION The UPS is heavy (see Specifications section). Take proper precautions when lifting or moving it. 2. Decide where to place the GXT 2U. Install the UPS indoors in a con- trolled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned off.
UPS C OUNT ONVERSION AND NSTALLATION NOTE When rack mounted, the UPS must be supported by a shelf, brackets or slide rails on each side. The rack mount handles WILL NOT support the weight of the UPS. They are used to move the UPS into and out of the rack.

3. Fasten the inner members from Step 2 to the UPS on both sides (see below) with eight screws provided in the accessories box of the UPS. Inner members 4. Attach the two mounting brackets to the rack’s mounting rails. The brackets allow adjustment of up to eight inches of the slide assembly mounting position, front-to-back, on the rack mounting rails.

7. Insert the UPS, with inner members attached from Step 3, into the slide assemblies. You may need to depress the locking mechanisms on the inner and outer members of the slide assemblies to allow the slides to retract. The UPS should move smoothly forward and back- ward on the slide assemblies.
XTERNAL ATTERY ABINET NSTALLATION Optional Liebert external battery cabinets may be connected to the UPS to provide additional battery run time. External battery cabinets are designed to be placed all on one side of the UPS or stacked beneath the UPS.
ON - Pressing this button will start up the UPS in order to provide condi- tioned and protected power. Alarm Silence - To silence alarms, press this button for at least one sec- ond. After the alarm is silenced, the UPStation GXT 2U will reactivate the alarm system to alert of additional problems. NOTE The LOW BATTERY and BYPASS reminder alarms CANNOT be silenced.
UPS; and during battery mode operation LED indicators display approximate battery capacity. The UPStation GXT 2U is equipped with automatic and remote battery test features. The automatic test occurs every 14 days (this option is user configurable) if utility has not been interrupted. Should the battery fail this test, the red fault indicator LED along with the A and C diagnostic LEDs will illuminate and an alarm will sound (refer to Troubleshooting section).
Output Voltage Selection The Output Voltage is user configurable, and is designed to allow select- ing or changing the desired output voltage to match the utility via the GXT2 Configuration Program provided with the UPS. The settings to choose from are 100, 110, 115, 120, and 127 VAC output. The factory default setting is 120 VAC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ORMAL PERATION During normal operation, utility power provides energy to the UPS. The filters, power factor correction circuit and the inverter process this power to provide computer grade AC INPUT BATTERY UPS ON BYPASS power to connected loads. The UPS maintains the batter- ies in a fully charged state.
COMMUNICATIONS OMMUNICATIONS NTERFACE The UPStation GXT 2U UPS contains a standard DB-9 serial port female connector located on the rear of the UPS unit. Several signals are pro- vided on this port and are assigned as follows: Assignment Description Low Battery (open collector)
UPS I NTELLIGENT OMMUNICATIONS The UPStation GXT 2U is equipped with an Intellislot™ port to provide advanced communication and monitoring options. Liebert's MultiLink™ software continually monitors the UPS and can shut down your computer or server in the event of an extended power failure.
CONFIGURATION PROGRAM This is a new feature included with the new UPStation GXT 2U line. Sev- eral UPS settings that were previously not available or required custom manufacturing may now be modified using this program. For most users, the factory default settings will be adequate. This manual illustrates the features available for modification, as well as the factory default setting.
UPS in for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries. The UPStation GXT 2U is designed to allow the user to safely replace the internal batteries. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your local dealer or Liebert representative to obtain the appropriate replacement battery kit part number and pricing.
Internal Battery Replacement Procedures: 1. Gently remove the front plastic bezel cover from the UPS. 2. Loosen and remove the four screws on the front battery door. Lay the battery door aside for reassembly. 3. Gently pull battery wiring out and disconnect the two slotted battery connectors.
EPLACEMENT CAUTION Before changing the input fuse, turn off the UPS, and unplug the supply lead from the AC input supply. Replace the fuse with the same type and rating. 1. Remove the input fuse from the fuse holder on the rear of the unit.
TROUBLESHOOTING The information below indicates various symptoms a user may encounter in the event the UPStation GXT 2U™ develops a problem. Use this infor- mation to determine whether external factors caused the problem and how to remedy the situation. 1. The fault indicator will illuminate, indicating the UPS detected a problem.
Under fault conditions, the fault indicators will be illuminated indefinitely while battery charger is operational, or for a maximum of 5 minutes while battery charger is not operational. If a problem persists, consult your local dealer, Liebert representative or contact the Liebert Worldwide Support Group. Please have the UPS model number and serial number available at the time of your inquiry.
