INSTALLATION

3.1

Electrical preparations
Before you begin installation, the input source must be isolated and secured to prevent reconnection
during installation. The input circuit breaker on the rear of the UPS must be in the Off position.

! WARNING
Installation may be carried out only by qualified technicians, conforming to applicable safety
standards.

Electric shock hazard: Even when the unit is disconnected from the mains, hazardous voltage
may still be supplied by the battery. Both poles should be disconnected before carrying out
maintenance work inside the UPS.
For electrical installation, the nominal current rating of the source must be observed. The UPS is not
suitable for connection to 16A subdistribution systems.

3.2

Current Table and Suggested Cable Sizes

The following table indicates the currents and recommended sizes of the connecting cables in
accordance with regulations IEC-287 and DIN VDE 0298
1. PVC-insulated copper cables (@ 70C) (158F).
2. Air temperature surrounding the conduits should not be greater than 30C (86F).
NOTE
Should there be any variation in the conditions, it will be necessary to verify whether the cable
dimensions satisfy the requirements of IEC-287 and DIN VDE 0298. In cases where the cables
are so long that they cause a drop in voltage of >3%, a larger size must be used.

External Tower Batteries

One or more battery cabinets may be connected to the Liebert GXT3-10000T230. A cable to connect
the battery cabinet and the Liebert GXT3-10000T230 is supplied with each battery cabinet. Plug this
cable into the battery cabinet and UPS battery socketsslotted fittings on each and ensure that the
connection is properly made. Since your UPS has integrated batteries, a compensating current may
occur during connection.

Figure 11 Liebert GXT3 10000T230 with External Battery Cabinet

3.11

Connecting an External Battery Extension

NOTE
External battery extensions can be replaced during normal operation of the UPS (hot
swappable). However, the batteries must NOT be changed when the UPS is in the status
Battery Mode operation.
The unit checks the battery voltage (a beep is heard) once more and stays in bypass till a constant
battery voltage is present.

! CAUTION
Battery maintenance must be carried out by authorized personnel observing the necessary
precautions.

14

Installation

3.12

Battery Precautions
The batteries installed in the UPS and within the battery extensions may contain electrolyte.
Under normal conditions, the containers are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte, which
can cause skin and eye irritation. Should this happen, wash the affected area with plenty of water
and seek immediate medical attention.
Do not open or damage batteries. The released electrolyte is toxic.
Voltage is always present on the battery contacts.
Even when discharged, a battery has the capacity a high short circuit current which, in addition
to causing damage to the battery itself and associated cables, may expose the operator to the risk
of burns. The following precautions should be observed when working with batteries:
Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
Use tools with insulated handles.
The voltage of a single cell of a battery is not dangerous. However a number of cells or battery
blocks, connected in series, can produce hazardous voltages.
The battery cabinet must not be kept in storage or not used for periods exceeding six months (at
20C [68F]) without being recharged (having been charged to 100% at the beginning of any such
period). If this period is exceeded, it is essential that the batteries be recharged (which does not
require the UPS to be switched on; the UPS just needs to be connected to the mains). If these
conditions are not met, the battery performance can no longer be guaranteed. We recommend
recharging the batteries at least once every four months.
Since new batteries often do not provide full capacity after the initial charge, it may be necessary
to carry out a number of discharge/recharge cycles before optimum performance is reached.
When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries and battery packs.
In order to protect the environment, batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local laws
concerning the safe disposal of toxic and harmful waste.
Do no not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

3.13

Configuration Program
The final step of installation may require custom configuration of your UPS using the enclosed
configuration program. Some configuration settings may be changed only while the UPS is Off. These
should be set before the UPS is put into full-time use.
For most users operating with 230VAC, the factory default settings will be adequate.

Functional Test
NOTE
Supply to the load is not guaranteed during this test. The test should not be carried out if a
critical load is connected to the UPS.
The Liebert GXT3-10000T230s controls permit testing the UPS to ensure that the load will be
supplied in the event of a mains failure.
Before beginning, ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
Simulate a mains failure by interrupting the mains supply to the UPS. You can do this by switching
Off the input power circuit breaker on the rear panel of the UPS. If the mains supply to the Liebert
GXT3-10000T230 is protected by an external circuit breaker, opening that circuit breaker will
interrupt the mains supply and simulate a power failure.
The Liebert GXT3-10000T230 is operating properly and the batteries are charged if:
An audible signal is heard at four-second intervals
The UPS On LED indicator turns Off
When the interval between the audible signals decreases to 10 seconds, the UPS has battery reserve
energy to supply the load for a maximum of two more minutes. After two minutes, the Liebert GXT310000T230 will automatically shut down.
If the batteries do not supply the load during the simulation, refer to 7.0 - Troubleshooting. To end
the simulated mains failure, restore the input power supply to the UPS. The UPS is now ready for
operation.
NOTE
The batteries must be recharged before the complete emergency supply period is again
available.

Storage
For extended storage at ambient temperatures cooler that 25C (77F), the batteries should be
charged for five hours once every four months. At higher storage temperatures. Emerson recommends
charging batteries for five hours every two months.
After five hours, disconnect from the mains supply or switch Off the input miniature circuit breaker of
the UPS. Then remove the UPS connections in the opposite sequence to that described in 3.0 Installation.
Record the battery charging date in the vicinity of the UPS, for example, on its packaging.

5.4

Cleaning
1. Do not clean the UPS with scouring powder or solutions that may dissolve plastic.
2. Do not allow liquid to get inside the UPS.
3. Make sure that the air vents on the UPS are not obstructed. Remove dust from the air vents with
a vacuum cleaner.
4. Clean the outside of the UPS by wiping the housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Any Mode Shutdown

The purpose of Any Mode Shutdown is to shut down the UPS output by turning Off the rectifier,
inverter and static switch so that there is no power to the loads.
Any Mode Shutdown can be operated locally or remotely:
Local Any Mode Shutdown can be performed by shorting the pins in Set 3.
Remote Any Mode Shutdown can be performed using a switch connected to the pins in Set 3 and
mounted at a remote location.
Activation of the Any Mode Shutdown will be logged as an event in the event history log.
NOTE
Remote Power Off will be performed either by NO or NC contact of Any Mode Shutdown.
The current limited source (+12VDC, 50mA) will be available from UPS.
The connection to UPS for remote connection will be via terminal block connector.
Any Mode Shutdown wiring must conform to all national, regional and local wiring codes and
laws.

! WARNING
When the Auto-enable output option is selected and the UPS output is disabled using the pins
in Set 3, the Liebert GXT3s output can turn On automatically and without warning if the
connection to the pins in Set 3 is changed.

6.2.2

Battery Mode Shutdown

Battery Mode Shutdown permits shutting down the UPS by turning Off the rectifier, inverter and
static switch so that there is no power to the load when the UPS is On Battery. The auxiliary power
for the UPS will still be active.
Battery Mode Shutdown can be performed locally or remotely:
Local Battery Mode shutdown can be performed by shorting the pins in Set 4.
Remote Battery Mode Shutdown can be performed using a switch connected to the pins in Set 4
and mounted at remote location.
Activation of the Battery Mode Shutdown will be logged as an event in the event history log.
NOTE
Remote Power Off will be performed by NO contact.
The current limited source (+12VDC, 50mA) will be available from UPS.
The connection to the Liebert GXT3 for remote connection will be via terminal block connector.
Battery Mode Shutdown wiring must conform to all national, regional and local wiring codes
and laws.
This signal must last for 1.5 seconds or longer.
A battery shutdown signal will not cause an immediate shutdown. It will start a 2-minute
shutdown timer. This timer cannot be stopped once triggered. If the utility power returns
during this countdown, the Liebert GXT3 will still shut down and must remain shut down for
10 seconds. Whether the UPS turns back On when the power is restored depends on the
auto-restart setting.

6.2.3

On Battery
On Battery signal is a Normally Open (NO) dry contact. When the UPS is supplying output power
from the battery this dry contact will be closed.

6.2.4

Low Battery
Low Battery signal is a Normally Open (NO) dry contact. When the UPS is supplying output power
from the battery and has reached the Low Battery Warning time selected in the configuration
program, this dry contact will be closed.
NOTE
The rated values for the dry contacts are:
Rated Voltage: 30V (AC or DC)
Rated Current: 300mA

6.3

Liebert IntelliSlot Communication Cards

The Liebert IntelliSlot port accepts three optional cards:
Liebert IntelliSlot SNMP Card
Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card
Liebert IntelliSlot 485 Card.
The Liebert IntelliSlot SNMP Card provides SNMP monitoring and control of the UPS across the
network.
The Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card provides dry contact relay outputs for custom-wired applications
and delivers support for built-in shutdown for AS/400 systems.
The Liebert IntelliSlot 485 Card is used to connect the UPS and a BMS.

Communication

6.3.1

Liebert MultiLink
Liebert MultiLink continually monitors the UPS and can shut down your computer or server in the
event of an extended power failure.
Liebert MultiLink can also be configured for use without the USB cable when the Liebert IntelliSlot
SNMP/Web card is installed in the UPS. Additionally, Liebert MultiLink can be configured to
coordinate shutdown across the network with other computers running Liebert MultiLink when you
purchase a Liebert MultiLink License Kit. For more information about the Liebert IntelliSlot
SNMP/Web Card and Liebert MultiLink License Kits, visit our Web site (www.liebert.com) or
contact your local dealer or Emerson representative.

Liebert IntelliSlot SNMP/Web Card provides SNMP and Web-based monitoring and control of the
UPS across the network.
The Liebert IntelliSlot MultiPort 4 Card allows installing Liebert MultiLink software on four
computers and coordinate shutdown in the event of a power failure.
The Liebert IntelliSlot Relay Card provides dry contact relay outputs for custom wired applications
and delivers support for built-in shutdown for AS/400 systems.

! CAUTION
To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and for electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables
should be shielded and run separate from all other power cables, where applicable.

6.4

Remote Emergency Power Off

The UPS is equipped with a Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) connector.
The user must supply a means of interfacing with the REPO circuit to allow disconnecting the UPS
input feeder breaker to remove all sources of power to the UPS and connected equipment to comply
with national and local wiring codes and regulations.
