The Liebert GXT3 is a compact, online uninterruptible power system (UPS) that continuously condi- tions and regulates its output voltage. The Liebert GXT3 is designed to supply microcomputers and other sensitive electronic equipment with clean sine wave input power, 700VA to 3000VA at 230V.
Appearance and Components 1.3.1 Appearance The Liebert GXT3 rack/tower models in various power ratings have the same general appearance, controls and features (see Figure 1). The various rack/tower models differ largely in the type of receptacles each has. Figure 1...
DC-to-DC converter, battery, dynamic bypass and UPS output. Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) and EMI/RFI Filters The Liebert GXT3 has surge protection and filters that protect the connected load from power surges and sags, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). These features can minimize any surges or interference present in the mains power.
UPS. Inverter In normal operation, the Liebert GXT3’s inverter utilizes the DC output of the PFC circuit to produce precise, regulated sine wave AC power. When mains power fails, the inverter receives DC power from the battery through the DC-to DC converter. In either operation mode, the UPS inverter is online, continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC output power.
• Frequency Converter - 50Hz – Bypass Disabled • Frequency Converter - 60Hz – Bypass Disabled NOTE The default for all models of the Liebert GXT3 is “Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60 Hz – Bypass Enabled.” CAUTION Do not touch the AC input receptacle when the UPS is operating. AC input voltages may still...
Installation Clearances Maintain a clearance of at least 100mm (4 inches) in the front and rear of the Liebert GXT3. 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 Liebert GXT3.
2. If optional Liebert external battery cabinets will be connected to the Liebert GXT3, take out the spacers delivered with the battery cabinet. 3. Connect the spacers and the support bases as shown in Figure 6. Each Liebert GXT3 needs two assembled support bases, one in the front and one in the rear.
Rack Installation NOTE • When the Liebert GXT3 is installed in a rack, the UPS must be supported by a shelf, brackets, or slide rails on each side. The factory-supplied ears cannot support the weight of the UPS. They are used to move the UPS into and out of the rack and attach the UPS to the rack.
Installation 3. Determine the desired height and mounting position of the Liebert GXT3 inside the rack’s vertical rails. CAUTION Reduce risk of tipping the rack by installing the Liebert GXT3 in the lowest possible rack position. 4. Attach the rear member of each bracket assembly to the rack’s vertical rails with two factory- supplied M5 screws (see Figure 11).

Up to four external battery cabinets can be connected to the Liebert GXT3. Each cabinet will increase the battery recharge time. Cable Connection The Liebert GXT3 rear panel has an input receptacle and output receptacles. Refer to 1.3.2 - Rear Panel Features for details. The battery cables are supplied with the battery cabinet. 2.5.1...
Installing the Optional Liebert IntelliSlot Card and Communication Cables 1. Remove the protective cover of the Liebert IntelliSlot port on the Liebert GXT3 and set it aside. 2. Insert the Liebert IntelliSlot card into the Liebert IntelliSlot port and secure it with screws.
Operation and Display Panel PERATION AND ISPLAY ANEL The operation and display panel, shown in Figure 17, is on the front panel of the Liebert GXT3 (see Figure 1). Figure 17 Operation and display panel Battery Level Indicators Load Level Indicators...
The battery level indicator is composed of five sets of LED bars that illuminate and flash to indicate the battery capacity level. The Liebert GXT3 battery capacity level is shown in 20% increments (±5%). The battery level indicators will illuminate as shown in Figure 18.

UPS and disconnecting the mains power from the UPS. NOTE The Liebert GXT3’s battery has been fully charged before delivery, but some charge will be lost during storage and shipping. To ensure that the battery has adequate reserve power to protect the connected load, charge the battery for three hours before putting the UPS into service.
Power to the connected loads is now Off. Disconnecting Input Power from the Liebert GXT3 1. After the UPS has been shut down as detailed in 4.5 - Shut Down the Liebert GXT3, disconnect the input cable plug. 2. Wait 30 seconds and verify that all indicators have turned Off and the fan has stopped; this indicates that the power-off is complete.
The Liebert IntelliSlot 485 Card is used to connect the UPS and computer system. Follow instructions provided with the Liebert IntelliSlot card to configure Liebert MultiLink, the UPS or any additional ancillary product for the Liebert GXT3. These instructions are available at: multilink.liebert.com 5.1.1...
5.2.1 Configuration Program Accessing the Configuration Program via USB is a new feature of the Liebert GXT3. For most users, the factory default settings will be adequate. This section illustrates the features available for modifi- cation, as well as the factory default setting.
When the Auto-Enable output option is selected and the UPS output is disabled using Pin 1 and Pin 2, the Liebert GXT3’s output can turn On automatically and without warning if the Pin 1 and Pin 2 connection is changed.
This timer cannot be stopped once triggered. If the mains 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.
UPS functions. Replacing the Internal Battery Pack The Liebert GXT3 is designed to allow the user to replace the internal battery pack safely. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your local dealer or Emerson representative to obtain the part number and pricing of the appropriate replacement battery pack.
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.
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...
