Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert GXT3 uninterruptible power system (UPS). The Liebert
GXT3 comes in nominal power ratings of 5000VA, 6000VA and 10,000VA. It is designed to provide
conditioned power to microcomputers and other sensitive electronic equipment.
When it is generated, alternating current is clean and stable. However, during transmission and dis-
tribution it may be subject to voltage sags, spikes and complete power failure that may interrupt com-
puter operations, cause data loss and even damage equipment. The Liebert GXT3 protects equipment
from these disturbances.
The Liebert GXT3 is a compact, on-line UPS that continuously conditions and regulates its output
voltage, whether mains power is present or not. 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.
The Liebert GXT3 has a Liebert IntelliSlot® port for communication between the UPS and a network

2.1 Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) and EMI/RFI Filters

These UPS components provide surge protection and filter both electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and radio frequency interference (RFI). They minimize any surges or interference present in the
mains line and keep the sensitive equipment protected.
2.2 Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit

In normal operation, the rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit converts mains AC power to
regulated DC power for use by the inverter while ensuring that the waveshape of the input current
used by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting this sinewave input current achieves two objectives:
• The mains power is used as efficiently as possible by the UPS.
• The amount of distortion reflected on the mains is reduced.
This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building not being protected by
the Liebert GXT3.
2.3 Inverter
In normal operation, the inverter utilizes the DC output of the power factor correction circuit and
inverts it into precise, regulated sinewave AC power. Upon a mains power failure, the inverter
receives its required energy from the battery through the DC-to-DC converter. In both modes of oper-
ation, the UPS inverter is on-line and continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC output
power.
2.4 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.
5
System Description
2.5 DC-to-DC Converter

The DC-to-DC converter utilizes energy from the battery system and raises the DC voltage to the opti-
mum operating voltage for the inverter. This allows the inverter to operate continuously at its opti-
mum efficiency and voltage, thus increasing reliability.
2.6 Battery
The Liebert GXT3 utilizes valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery
design life, operate the UPS in an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Optional
external battery cabinets are available to extend battery run times. For run times, see Table 11.
2.7 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. Bypass operation is
indicated by an audible alarm and illuminated amber Bypass LED (other LEDs may be illuminated to
indicate the diagnosed problem). To manually transfer the connected load from the inverter to bypass,
press the Standby/Manual Bypass button once and hold it for about 2 seconds.
NOTE
The bypass power path does NOT protect the connected equipment from disturbances
in the mains supply.

11. Reattach the front battery door with the six screws.
12. Reattach the front plastic bezel cover to the UPS.
NOTE
The internal battery pack is hot-swappable. However, caution should be exercised because the
load is unprotected from disturbances and power failures during this procedure. Do not replace
the battery while the UPS is operating in Battery Mode. This will result in a loss of output
power and will drop the connected load.
10.2 Battery Charging

The batteries are valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid and should be kept charged to attain their
design life. 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.
10.3 Precautions
Although the Liebert GXT3 has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety, improper
use can result in electrical shock or fire. To ensure safety, observe the following precautions:
• Turn Off and unplug the Liebert GXT3 before cleaning it.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Clean the UPS with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never block or insert any objects into the ventilation holes or other openings of the UPS.
• Do not place the Liebert GXT3 power cord where it might be damaged.
29
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. If it is operating in Bypass Mode, stop and contact your local Emerson representative, or
Emerson Channel Support.
• Check whether the battery is discharging. When the mains input is normal, the battery should
not discharge. If the UPS is operating in Battery Mode, stop and contact your local Emerson rep-
resentative or Emerson Channel Support.
10.5 Checking UPS Functions

NOTE
UPS function check procedures may interrupt power supply to the connected load.
Emerson recommends checking the UPS functions once every six months.
Back up the load data before conducting the UPS functions check. Procedures are as follows:
1. Press the Standby/Manual Bypass button to check whether the buzzer and indicators are normal.
2. Press the On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button to check again whether the indicators
are on and the UPS is operating normally.
3. Press the On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button for three seconds after Inverter Mode.
The UPS should initiate a battery self-test. Check to determine whether the battery is operating
normally. If not, stop and contact your local Emerson representative or Emerson Channel Support

Using the configuration program, the user may specify the number of GXT3-240VBATT external bat-
tery cabinets attached to the UPS. The factory default is programmed for internal batteries only.
See Table 11 shows the estimated run times at different loads.

Specifications
12.1 Auto-Learning Battery Run Times

As batteries age, the estimated runtimes may become less accurate. The Liebert GXT3 is pro-
grammed 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.
The UPS will update the anticipated run time calculation only under certain conditions.
• The UPS must have a steady load that is greater than 20%.
• The UPS must be at 100% charge at the start of a battery discharge.
• The battery discharge must continue uninterrupted until the batteries reach their end-of-dis-
charge voltage.
If all conditions are not met, the run time calculation will not be modified.
If the configuration program is used to change the number of battery cabinets, then the values in the
battery above table will be restored. This will override any value that is Auto-Learned.
