2.5 Major Components


The UPS is composed of utility input, TVSS and EMI/RFI filters, rectifier/PFC, inverter, battery charger, DC-
to-DC converter, battery, dynamic bypass and UPS output.

NOTE: Only the GXT4-3000RT208 model (208 V) requires L2 (L6-20P). All other models covered in the
manual are 120-V L-N wired.

2 GXT4 Description 15
Figure 2.7 Operating principle diagram

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


The UPS has surge protection and filters that protect the connected load from power surges,
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). These features can minimize
any surges or interference present in the utility power. The filters also prevent surges or interference
generated by the UPS from adversely affecting devices connected on the same branch as the UPS.

2.5.2 Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit


In normal operation, the rectifier/PFC circuit converts utility power to regulated DC power for use by the
inverter while ensuring that the wave shape of the input current used by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting
this sine-wave input current achieves two objectives:

• Efficient power use by the UPS


• Reduced reflected harmonics

This results in cleaner power available to other devices in the building that are not protected by the
GXT4.

2.5.3 Inverter
In normal operation, the inverter utilizes the DC output of the PFC circuit to produce precise, regulated
sine-wave AC power. When utility power fails, the inverter receives DC power from the DC-to-DC
Converter. In either operation mode, the UPS inverter is online, continuously generating clean, precise,
regulated AC output power.

2.5.4 Battery Charger


The battery charger utilizes energy from the utility power and precisely regulates it to continuously float
charge the batteries. The batteries are being charged whenever the GXT4 is plugged in, even when the
UPS is not turned On.

16 Vertiv | Liebert® GXT4™ Installer/User Guide


2.5.5 DC-to-DC Converter
The DC-to-DC converter raises the DC voltage from the battery to the optimum operating voltage for the
inverter. This allows the inverter to operate continuously at its optimum efficiency and voltage, thus
increasing reliability.

2.5.6 Battery
The GXT4 uses valve-regulated, non-spillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design life, Operate
the GXT4 in an ambient temperature of 32°F to 77°F (0°C to 25°C).

Optional external battery cabinets are available to extend battery run times.

2.5.7 Dynamic Bypass


The GXT4 provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected loads in the unlikely event of a
UPS malfunction. Should the GXT4 have an overload, over-temperature or UPS failure condition, the UPS
automatically transfers the connected loads to bypass.

NOTE: The bypass power path does not protect the connected loads from disturbances on the utility.

2.5.8 Battery Cabinet


Optional battery cabinets are available for the Liebert® GXT4, shown in Battery cabinet on the next
page.The battery connectors and input breaker are on the battery cabinet’s rear panel, as shown in the
figure. For battery cabinet specifications, refer to Specifications on page 53. The GXT4 may be equipped
with a maximum of 6 extension battery packs.

For battery run times, refer to Battery run times (continued) on page 60.

WARNING! Do not contact the battery connectors and ground to avoid electrical shock. The
battery loop and AC input are not insulated, which may cause a dangerous voltage between the
battery connectors and ground.

NOTE: External Battery Connectors are wired in parallel. Either connector can be connected to the UPS
or to another battery cabinet.

NOTE: The standard battery cable delivered with the battery cabinet is 0.65 m (2.13 ft) long.

2.6 Operating Modes


The UPS operation modes include the following: Mains (AC) Mode, Bypass Mode, Battery Mode, Battery
Recharge Mode, Active ECO Mode and Frequency Converter Mode.

Refer to Operation and Display Panel on page 27 for details about the operating mode indicators and
control buttons.

2.6.1 Mains Mode


During Mains Mode, the mains provides input power to the GXT4. The filters, PFC circuit and inverter
process this power to provide high-quality sine wave power to connected loads. The UPS maintains the
batteries in a fully-charged state.

2.6.2 Manual Bypass Mode


Manual Bypass Mode occurs when the unit is manually placed in internal bypass by navigating the LCD
menu to select 3 Control > 1 Turn On & Off > Turn UPS Bypass. Bypass operation is indicated by an audible
alarm and illuminated amber bypass indicator. (If other indicators are illuminated, refer to
Troubleshooting on page 49). During Bypass Mode, mains power bypasses the inverter and provides
energy to the connected load.
NOTICE

Risk of loss of power to the connected load. Can cause equipment damage.

Turning Off the UPS in Bypass Mode will result in loss of output power to the connected load.

18 Vertiv | Liebert® GXT4™ Installer/User Guide


2.6.3 Battery Mode
The GXT4 enters Battery Mode when mains power fails or is outside acceptable limits. The battery system
supplies power through the DC-to-DC converter to the inverter to generate clean AC power for the
connected loads.

When the GXT4 enters Battery Mode, the UPS sounds a half-second beep at 10-second intervals. When
approximately 2 minutes of run time remains, the beeps sound every 5 seconds to warn that the battery is
getting low (this Low Battery Warning is user-configurable).

In Battery Mode, the battery indicator will illuminate and the LCD will show the prompt utility power not
available.

Press either the Up or Down button once, then press the Enter button to clear the prompt and silence the
audible alarm. Once the alarm prompt has been acknowledged, the screen showing the estimated battery
run time and battery capacity will be visible. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 49.

For approximate battery run times, refer to Table 9.5 on page 60.


NOTICE

Risk of loss of power to the connected load. Can cause equipment damage.

Turning Off the GXT4 when it is in Battery Mode will result in loss of output power to the
connected load.

If the UPS is turned Off manually, it must be manually restarted after mains power returns.

If the UPS is turned Off by a communication signal or because the batteries are depleted, it will
operate as set in the configuration program for Auto-Restart (Refer to Configuration Program
on page 39).

2.6.4 Battery Recharge Mode


Once mains power is applied to the GXT4, the Battery Charger begins charging the batteries.

2.6.5 Frequency Converter Mode


All models of the GXT4 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 60Hz – Bypass Enabled


• Auto Sensing - 50 Hz or 60Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 50 Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 60Hz – Bypass Disabled

NOTE: The default for all models of the Liebert® GXT4 is “Auto Sensing - 50 Hz or 60Hz – Bypass
Enabled.”

2.6.6 Active ECO Mode


All Liebert® GXT4 models can operate in Active ECO Mode. In this mode, the connected equipment is
powered through the bypass path to increase efficiency, reducing the electrical costs.

2 GXT4 Description 19
Active ECO mode keeps the rectifier and inverter operating, allowing the inverter to remain synchronized
to bypass. This synchronization allows the transfer of the connected equipment to UPS inverter power
almost seamlessly if bypass power falls outside the user-set limits. Once bypass power returns within the
acceptable parameters, the UPS will return to Active ECO Mode operation.

The default setting is Active ECO Mode Off.

7 MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death. A battery
can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current.

Observe the following precautions when working on batteries:

• Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.


• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• If the battery kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact your Vertiv
representative immediately.
• Handle, transport, and recycle batteries in accordance with local regulations.
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is inadvertently grounded, remove the
source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical
shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if grounds are removed during installation
and maintenance (applicable to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded
supply circuit).

drop the connected load.

7.2 Charging Batteries


The batteries are valve-regulated, non-spillable, lead acid and should be kept charged to attain their
design life. The UPS charges the batteries continuously when it is connected to the utility input power.

If the UPS will be stored for a long time, We recommend connecting the UPS to input power for at least 24
hours every 4 to 6 months to ensure full recharge of the batteries.

7.3 Precautions
Although the Liebert® GXT4 is 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 GXT4 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 GXT4.
• Do not place the GXT4 power cord where it might be damaged.

7.4 Checking UPS Status


We recommend checking the UPS operation status every six months.

• Check if the UPS is faulty: Is the Fault Indicator On? Is the UPS sounding an alarm?
• Check if 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 Vertiv representative or Technical
Support.
• Check if the battery is discharging: When the utility input is normal, the battery should not
discharge. If the UPS is operating in Battery Mode, stop and contact your Vertiv representative
or Technical Support.

46 Vertiv | Liebert® GXT4™ Installer/User Guide


7.5 Checking UPS Functions
NOTE: UPS function check procedures may interrupt power supply to the connected load.

We recommend checking the UPS functions once every 6 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 alarm 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 battery self-test. Check to determine whether the battery is operating
normally. If not, stop and contact your Vertiv representative or Technical Support.

(25°C) with 100% resistive UPS loading. Run times listed above can vary by ±5% due to manufacturing variances of the individual
batteries.

9.1 Auto-Learning Battery Run Times


As batteries age, the estimated run times may become less accurate. The Liebert® GXT4 is programmed
to “learn” from a full battery discharge and modify the estimated run time 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.

60 Vertiv | Liebert® GXT4™ Installer/User Guide


• The battery discharge must continue uninterrupted until the batteries reach their end-of-
discharge 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.
