• ECO mode (economy operation) • Programmable outlet groups (only for 500~3000VA models) Requirements This program requires: • A Liebert GXT4 UPS (model number must begin with GXT4, as in GXT4-1500RT120 • A computer, either a tower or laptop, with: • Microsoft Windows XP or later operating system ®...
Communication OMMUNICATION This section details how to establish communication with the UPS, including connecting the USB cable, starting the configuration program and communicating with the UPS. Connecting the USB Cable Proper installation requires connecting the USB cable between the UPS and the computer before starting the configuration program.
Then click the program icon to launch the configuration program If the configuration program fails to read data from the Liebert GXT4, an error message will be displayed, as shown below. If this happens: 1. Verify that the USB cable is connecting the computer and the UPS. Proper installation requires connecting the USB cable between the UPS and the computer before starting the configuration program.
Function Buttons • Program Tabs—Separate the operating parameters for the Liebert GXT4 UPS • Parameter Window—Contains the parameters specific to the Liebert GXT4 that allow customizing its settings • Function Buttons • Refresh—Refreshes or reloads the page with the settings currently saved in the UPS. Use this button to reset values to the last saved version should changes be made but not yet applied.
Customizing UPS Parameters Reviewing UPS Settings Once the configuration program has communicated to the UPS, the program can be used to review the UPS settings while the UPS is operating in any mode (such as on utility power, on battery power, on bypass or in ECO mode operation).

UPS will not start. If an L-N reverse problem is detected after the UPS is started, the Liebert GXT4 will continue to operate, but the AC INPUT LED will flash red. The improperly wired receptacles should be properly connected before the UPS is put into service.
Customizing UPS Parameters 3.3.2 Parameters Tab—Battery Choices on this tab allow changing from the default low battery warning, external battery cabinet quantity, and the automatic battery test enable/disable and test interval Low Battery Time Warning The UPS will estimate operating time when it is operating on batteries. A low battery alarm is activated if the estimated time reaches the specified Low Battery Time, which ranges from 2 to 30 minutes.

Customizing UPS Parameters External Battery Cabinets If additional batteries are attached to the UPS, battery run time estimates are more accurate if the number of External Battery Cabinet matches the number of external battery cabinets connected Auto Battery Test The UPS performs an automated battery test periodically, if enabled. The test is enabled by default. Disabling the test may be preferable for some applications.
3.3.3 Parameters Tab—Outlet1 The Liebert GXT4 micro UPS models (500VA - 3000VA) have two groups of programmable outlets. The Outlet1 tab permits programming “Outlet Group 1” to: • Shed connected equipment when the UPS is operating on battery (extending run time for equipment that is more critical) •...

Customizing UPS Parameters Outlet Setting • Turn on delay: Outlets will be on after UPS start-up, the time of delay can be configured to 0 ~ 30 minutes. • Turn off outlet on overload when UPS on battery mode Enable: Put a check mark (✔) in Turn off outlet on overload when on battery mode. Outlet 1 group will turn Off if there is an overload while the UPS is operating on battery power.
3.3.5 Parameter Tabs—ECO Mode (Economy Mode) This tab permits programming the Liebert GXT4 to operate in ECO mode, reducing energy consumption through more efficient operation. ECO mode powers the connected load with utility power, when it is within specified parameters. This bypasses the inverter.
Page 16
Customizing UPS Parameters ECO Mode ECO mode may be On or Off. The choice is made through a drop-down list. The default setting is Off, meaning the UPS always powers the connected load through the inverter. Voltage Tolerance The range of the qualified input voltage for ECO bypass output. When ECO mode is enabled and input voltage is within the specified voltage tolerance, UPS will transfer to bypass output if Frequency Tolerance and Requalification Time also are OK.
Page 17
Utility power must be within this specification for ECO Mode operation. When ECO Mode is enabled and Frequency Tolerance is within the specifications, The Liebert GXT4 will transfer to ECO Mode if Voltage tolerance and Requalification Time are OK. When in ECO Mode, if the frequency goes out of tolerance, the UPS will transfer back to Inverter.
Customizing UPS Parameters 3.3.6 Parameter Tabs—Dry Contacts This tab allows the operational settings for the Any Mode Shutdown terminal block (Pins 1-2) Disable Output—Manual Restart Only For particular industrial applications and special computer applications, the UPS may be monitored and controlled using external voltages and relay contact signals. An Any Mode Shutdown command can be activated on the terminal block of the UPS by operating Pin1 - Pin2.
Resetting to Factory Settings To restore the Liebert GXT4 to factory settings, click the Factory Setting button and select Yes button. Settings can be reset to defaults only when the UPS is in Standby mode. If the UPS is online, turn Off the outputs and restore to factory settings.
• Upload—Connect your computer with the USB cable to a second UPS and use this button to apply the configuration settings to the second and subsequent UPS’s. The Upload button can be used only on a Liebert GXT4 that is in Standby mode. If the UPS is not in Standby mode, this message will appear.
