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.
2.5.6 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.
NOTE: The bypass power path does not protect the connected loads from disturbances on the utility.
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.

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

Run times in this table are approximate. Times are based on new, fully-charged, standard battery modules at a temperature of 77°F
(25°C) with 100% resistive UPS loading. Run times listed above can vary by ±5% due to manufacturing variances of the individual
batteries.
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.
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.
