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
server or other computer systems. This port provides detailed operating information including
voltages, currents and alarm status to the host system when used in conjunction with Liebert
MultiLink™. Liebert MultiLink can also remotely control UPS operation.

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.

System Description
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.
NOTE
The bypass power path does NOT protect the connected equipment from disturbances
in the mains supply.

NOTE
Remote Power Off will be performed either by NO or NC contact of Any Mode Shutdown.
The current limited source for this optocoupler (+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 GXT3-G’s output can turn On automatically and without warning if the
connection to the pins in Set 3 is changed.

NOTE
Remote Power Off will be performed by NO contact.
The current limited source for this optocoupler (+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.
9.2.3 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.
NOTE
The rated values for the dry contacts for the On Battery and Low Battery signals are:
• Rated Voltage: 5V
• Working Voltage Range: 4.5-10V
• Rated Current: 30ma

6. Unpack a new internal battery pack. Take care not to destroy the packing.
Compare the new and old internal battery packs to make sure they are the same type and model.
If they are the same, proceed with Step 7; if they are different, stop and contact your local Emer-
son representative or Emerson Channel Support.
7. Line up and slide in the new internal battery pack.
8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 if replacing both battery packs. Each model has two battery packs
9. Reconnect the battery plugs and battery receptacles.
10. Gently push the battery wire into the UPS battery compartment.
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.
10.3 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
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
