It supplies connected equipment with clean sinewave power. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power. For ease of use, the Liebert GXT3 features a light-emitting diode (LED) display to indicate both load percentage and battery capacity. It also provides self-diagnostic tests, a combination ON/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button, a Standby/Manual Bypass button and a configuration program.
UPS inverter is on-line and continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC output power. Battery Charger The battery charger utilizes energy from the mains power and precisely regulates it to continuously float charge the batteries. The batteries are being charged whenever the Liebert GXT3 is connected to mains power.
For run times, see Table 11. Dynamic Bypass The Liebert GXT3 provides an alternate path for mains power to the connected load in the unlikely event of a UPS malfunction. Should the UPS have an overload, overtemperature or any other UPS failure condition, the UPS automatically transfers the connected load to bypass.
Major Components AJOR OMPONENTS The Liebert GXT3 is composed of three major assemblies to provide easier handling, installation and versatility. Main Frame and Electronics The cabinet is shipped with internal batteries installed and a basic, hardwire distribution box attached and ready to install.

Installation and Configuration The adjustable rack-mounting brackets (Part#: RMKIT18-32) feature retaining latches to prevent users from inadvertently sliding the UPS or battery cabinet out of the rack. To install the rack mount brackets: Return flanges 1. Unpack two (2) rack-mounting bracket assemblies and mounting hardware from this kit.
(4) customer-supplied fasteners. External Battery Cabinet Installation 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 on one side of the UPS or stacked beneath the UPS.
Optional rack-mount handles are shipped with the external battery cabinet and may be installed at this time if desired. 3. Securing hardware and slide rails are sold separately. Please contact your local dealer or Liebert representative for these additional options and any assistance needed. Fasten the slides into position with the screws per the instructions included with the slide rails.
To remove: 1. Ensure maintenance bypass lamp is on. To place the unit in maintenance bypass, see 8.4 - Put the Liebert GXT3 in Manual Bypass. 2. Loosen one captive screw over the maintenance bypass breaker. 3. Turn the maintenance bypass breaker on.
Electrical connections are made through a removable power distribution box that attaches to the rear of the UPS. • PD2-CE6HDWRMBS fits the 5000 and 6000VA models of the Liebert GXT3 • PD2-CE10HDWRMBS fits the 10,000VA model of the Liebert GXT3 The installer must provide an upstream branch circuit breaker.
Installation and Configuration Figure 12 Terminal block connections—PD2-CE6HDWRMBS and PD2-CE10HDWRMBS PD2-CE6HDWRMBS PD2-CE10HDWRMBS OUTPUT INPUT INPUT OUTPUT NOTE The installer must provide circuit breaker protection according to local codes. The mains disconnect should be within sight of the UPS or have an appropriate lock-out. Maintain service space around the UPS or use flexible conduit.

ON - Pressing this button for four seconds will start the UPS. Alarm Silence - To silence alarms, press this button for at least one second. After the alarm is silenced, the Liebert GXT3 will reactivate the alarm system to alert of additional problems.
The battery level indicator is composed of five sets of LED bars that illuminate and flash to indicate the battery capacity level. The Liebert GXT3 battery capacity level is shown in 20% increments (±5%). The battery level indicators will illuminate as shown in Figure 14 The battery level indicators display approximate battery capacity at all times.
UPS. NOTE The Liebert GXT3’s battery has been fully charged before delivery, but some charge will be lost during storage and shipping. To ensure that the battery has adequate reserve power to protect the connected load, charge the battery for three hours before putting the UPS into service.
Power to the connected loads is now Off. Disconnecting Input Power from the Liebert GXT3 1. After the UPS has been shut down as detailed in 8.5 - Shut Down the Liebert GXT3, turn off the Output Circuit Breaker. 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 Communication Interface Port The Liebert GXT3 UPS has a terminal block on the rear of the UPS unit. Several signals are provided on this port and are assigned as follows. Terminal Block Communication The terminal block includes eight pins, as shown in Figure 16.
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.
SNMP/Web Card and Liebert MultiLink License Kits, visit our Web site (www.liebert.com) or contact your local dealer or Emerson representative. Several option cards are available for use in the Liebert IntelliSlot port of the Liebert GXT3. The Liebert IntelliSlot SNMP/Web Card provides SNMP and Web-based monitoring and control of the UPS across the network.
10.1 Replacing the Internal Battery Pack 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 mains 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.
Maintenance 10.4 Checking UPS Status Emerson recommends checking the UPS operation status every six months. • Check whether the UPS is faulty: Is the Fault Indicator on? Is the UPS sounding an alarm? • Check whether the UPS is operating in Bypass Mode. Normally, the UPS operates in Normal Mode.

12.1 Auto-Learning Battery Run Times As batteries age, the estimated run times may become less accurate. The Liebert GXT3 is programmed to “learn” from a full battery discharge and modify the estimated runtime for the measured battery capacity. This can improve accuracy and compensate for aging batteries or batteries that operate at different ambient temperatures.
