12 GXT5 Description
1.7. UPS States and Operating Modes
NOTE: See LED Indicators on page 39, for description of the run-indicator and alarm-indicator LEDs
mentioned in this section.

1.7.1. Normal Mode

When utility power is normal, Normal mode employs the rectifier and inverter to provide voltage and frequency-
stabilized power to the load. The charger charges the battery in normal mode. On the front panel display, the
run-indicator (green) is ON, the alarm indicator is OFF, and the buzzer is silent.

1.7.2. Bypass Mode

Bypass mode supplies power to the load from the bypass source (utility power) if an overload or fault occurs
during normal operation. On the front-panel display, the run indicator (green) is ON, the alarm indicator (yellow)
is ON, and the buzzer beeps once each seconds. The LCD “Current” screen displays “On Bypass.”

NOTE: If utility power fails or if the utility voltage goes outside of the permissible range during bypass-
mode operation, the UPS shuts down and no output is supplied to the load.

1.7.3. Battery Mode

Battery mode supplies battery power to the load if utility power fails or if the utility voltage goes outside of the
permissible range. On the front-panel display, the run indicator (green) is ON, the alarm indicator (yellow) is ON,
and the buzzer beeps once each second. The LCD “Flow” screen displays “On Battery.”

NOTE: The batteries are fully-charged before shipment. However, transportation and storage inevitably
cause some loss of capacity. To ensure adequate back-up time, it is recommended to charge the batteries
for atleast 8 hours before first start-up.

NOTE: If utility power fails and the batteries are charged, you may cold-start the UPS in battery mode and
use battery power to extend system availability for a time.

NOTE: Powering-off the UPS when it is in battery mode results in loss of output power to the connected
load.

Vertiv | Liebert® GXT5™ | Installer/User Guide 13


1.7.4. Frequency Converter Mode
All models of the GXT5 are capable of frequency conversion. Frequency Conversion Mode can be selected
using the configuration program. Allowable frequency operating modes include:
• Auto Sensing - 50 Hz or 60 Hz – Bypass Enabled
• Auto Sensing - 50 Hz or 60 Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 50 Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 60Hz – Bypass Disabled

NOTE: The default for all models of the Liebert® GXT5 is “Auto Sensing - 50 Hz or 60 Hz – Bypass Enabled.”

1.7.5. ECO Mode

The energy-saving ECO mode reduces power consumption by powering the load via bypass if the bypass
voltage is normal or by powering the load via the inverter when the bypass voltage is abnormal. You can use
ECO mode to power equipment that is not sensitive to power-grid quality to via bypass and reduce power
consumption.

NOTE: During ECO mode, if a bypass-failure or abnormal-bypass-voltage notification appears when the output
is not overloaded, the UPS will transfer to Normal Mode. However, if a notification showing bypass failure
or abnormal bypass voltage appears when the output is overloaded, the UPS will shut down the bypass and
therefore the load will shut down.

14 GXT5 Description
Chapter 2: Installation
Do not start the UPS until after the installation is finished.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock

Can cause equipment damage, injury and death. Before beginning installation, verify that all external overcurrent
protection devices are open (Off), and that they are locked-out and tagged appropriately to prevent activation
during the installation, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved
personal protective equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E. Failure to comply can cause serious injury or death. Before
proceeding with installation, read all instructions. Follow all local codes.

2.1. Unpacking and Inspection


Unpack the UPS and conduct the following checks:
• Inspect the UPS for shipping damage. If any shipping damage is found, report it to the carrier and your local
Vertiv representative immediately.
• Check the accessories included against the packing list. If there is any discrepancy, contact your local Vertiv
representative immediately.

CAUTION

The UPS is heavy (see “Specifications” on page 82, for the weight). Take proper precautions when lifting or
moving the unit.

2.2. Pre-installation Preparation


• Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned Off. The
installation environment should meet the specifications listed in “Specifications” on page 82.
• Place the UPS in an area of unrestricted air-flow around the unit, away from water, flammable liquids, gases,
corrosives, and conductive contaminants. Avoid direct sunlight.

NOTE: Operating the UPS in temperatures above 77°F (25°C) reduces battery life.

2.2.1. Installation Clearances

Maintain at least 4 in. (100 mm) clearance in the front and rear of the UPS. Do not obstruct the air inlets on
the front panel and rear panel of the UPS. Blocking the air inlets reduces ventilation and heat dissipation,
shortening the service life of the unit.

Vertiv | Liebert® GXT5™ | Installer/User Guide 15


2.3. Installing the UPS
The UPS may be installed as a tower or in a rack, depending on available space and use considerations.
Determine the type of installation and follow the appropriate instructions. See Tower Installation or Rack
Installation on next page.

After installing the UPS as a tower or in a rack, and before attempting to start-up, you must install the internal
batteries. See Installing the Internal Battery Kit(s) on the next page.

NOTE: When installing the UPS or making input and output connections, comply with all relevant safety
codes and standards.

2.9. Hardwired Input/Output Connections

WARNING! Risk of electric shock

Can cause equipment damage, injury and death. Before beginning installation, verify that all external over-
current protection devices are open (Off), and that they are locked-out and tagged appropriately to prevent
activation during the installation, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate, OSHA-
approved personal protective equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E. Failure to comply can cause serious injury or
death. Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions. Follow all local codes.

Observe the following guidelines and specifications when making the hard-wire input and output connections:
• We recommend installing a UL489-approved breaker upstream of unit.
• 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.
• Provide output-distributions panels, circuit-breaker protection, or emergency disconnects according to local
codes.

24 Installation
• Do not install input and output wiring in the same conduit.
• On models with a cord-connected input plug that is used as the power-disconnect device, the UPS must
be installed near a wall socket or outlet that is easily accessible per the National Electric Code/NFPA 70
requirements. Models/POD options subject to this requirement are: GXT5-5000MVRT4UXLN and
GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN with POD PD5-001, PD5-002, PD5-003, PD5-004, PD5-005, or PD5-006

2.9.1. Branch Circuit Breaker

The installer must provide an upstream branch circuit breaker, see Table 2-1 below, for the ratings. The input
circuit breaker on the distribution box and the output circuit breaker on the rear of the power distribution box
disconnect all power between the main cabinet and the distribution box. Figure 2-7 on the next page, shows a
diagram of the circuit breakers.

Observe the following guidelines and specifications when making the hard-wire input and output connections:
• P
rovide 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.
• P
rovide output-distributions panels, circuit-breaker protection, or emergency disconnects according to local
codes.
• Do not install input and output wiring in the same conduit.

Models equipped with a manual bypass breaker pass bypass power directly to the bypass breaker from the
input terminal block. The input circuit breaker on the distribution box does not disconnect power from the
manual bypass breaker.

2.10.3. Connecting a Remote Emergency Power-off (REPO) Switch

The UPS includes an EPO connection in the dry-contact port. See the appropriate figure for your model in Rear
Panels on page 5, for the location of the port.

UPS ships with a REPO jumper installed, allowing the UPS to operate as a normally-closed switch system (fail-
safe). Opening the circuit disables the UPS. To connect a REPO switch that opens the circuit to shut down the
rectifier and inverter and power-off the UPS, use a cable from the remote switch to plug into the REPO-port on
the UPS.

In normal conditions, the REPO switch cannot cut off the UPS input power. When the REPO switch trips, the
UPS generates an alarm and immediately cuts-off output power. When the emergency condition is resolved, the
UPS will not return to normal operation until you reset the REPO switch and manually power- on the UPS.

To make the cable for the REPO connection:

Figure 2-10 below, shows the cable required to make the connection. We recommend using 18 AWG to 22 AWG
(0.82 mm2 to 0.33 mm2) copper-core cable.
1. Remove the insulation from the end of two cables.
2. Insert the stripped end into the plug terminals 1 and 2 respectively, then press down the terminals. Make
sure that the cables are secure in the plug to prevent failure because of loose contact.

To connect a UPS to the REPO switch.

CAUTION

To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables should be shielded and run
separately from power cables.

1. Connect one end of the cable to the remote switch, see Figure 2-10 below.
2. Remove the factory-installed jumper from pins 7 and 8 of the dry-contact port on the UPS
3. Connect the plug to pins 7 and 8.

4.2.7. About Screen

The About screen offers tabs that list information about the product.
• Product tab—shows UPS identification information, firmware versions, and information about the
communication card (when the card is installed).
• Efficiency tab—shows curve of the efficiency of your UPS model vs the load. The efficiency at the current
load is shown to the right of the graph.
• Battery age tab—shows the curve of the state-of-health (SOH) percentage of the installed battery over time.
The SOH is measurement of the installed battery’s condition and ability to deliver the specified performance
compared to a fresh battery. During the lifetime of a battery, its health will deteriorate gradually due to
irreversible physical and chemical changes which take place with usage and with age until eventually the
battery is no longer usable. The UPS calculates one value per week and plots it on the graph. The values are
based on battery temperature, age, and the total amount of energy discharged from the battery that week.
With use over time, this percentage will decrease until the “Battery Aged” alarm is generated at 25%. It is
recommended to replace the battery at or before this time.

To view the product, efficiency, and battery-age information:


1. At the main menu, select the About icon, and press Enter.
