2.7 Major Components

The UPS is composed of mains input, TVSS and EMI/RFI filters, rectifier/PFC, inverter, battery charger, DC-
to-DC converter, battery, dynamic bypass and UPS output.
Figure 2.9 Operating principle diagram
2.7.1 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 mains power. The filters also prevent surges or interference
generated by the UPS from adversely affecting devices connected on the same branch as the UPS.

2.7.2 Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit
In normal operation, the rectifier/PFC circuit converts mains 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.
2.7.3 Inverter
In normal operation, the 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 DC-to-DC
Converter. In either operation mode, the UPS inverter is online, continuously generating clean, precise,
regulated AC output power.
2.7.4 Battery Charger

The battery charger utilizes energy from the mains 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.
2.7.5 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.
2.7.6 Battery
The GXT4 uses valve-regulated, non-spillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design life, Operate
the GXT4 in an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).
Optional external battery cabinets are available to extend battery run times.
2.7.7 Internal Bypass

The GXT4 provides an alternate path for mains power to the connected load in the unlikely event of a
UPS malfunction. Should the UPS have an overload, over-temperature or any other UPS failure condition,
the UPS automatically transfers the connected load to bypass. Bypass operation is indicated by an
audible alarm and illuminated amber Bypass LED (other LEDs may be illuminated to indicate the
diagnosed problem).
To manually transfer the connected load from the inverter to bypass, press the Standby/Manual Bypass
button once and hold it for about 2 seconds

2.7.8 Maintenance Bypass
The GXT4 provides a manual maintenance bypass in a removable section of the rear of the UPS. This
allows replacement of the UPS in the event of a UPS malfunction while keeping the connected equipment
powered with utility power.
NOTE: The bypass power path does not protect the connected equipment from disturbances in the
mains supply.
2.8 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 33 for details about the operating mode indicators and
control buttons.
2.8.1 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.
2.8.2 Manual Bypass Mode

Manual Bypass Mode occurs when the unit is manually placed in internal bypass by navigating the LCD
menu to select 3 Con trol > 1 T u rn O n & O ff > T u rn UPS Byp ass. Bypass operation is indicated by an audible
alarm and illuminated amber bypass indicator. (If other indicators are illuminated, refer to
Troubleshooting on page 59). 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.
2.8.3 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 u tility p ower n ot
availab le.

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 59.
For approximate battery run times, refer to .
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 46).
2.8.4 Battery Recharge Mode

Once mains power is applied to the GXT4, the Battery Charger begins charging the batteries.
2.8.5 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 - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass Enabled

• Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 50Hz – Bypass Disabled
• Frequency Converter - 60Hz – Bypass Disabled
NOTE: The default for all models of the Liebert GXT4 is “Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass
Enabled.”
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Never touch the AC input
receptacle while the UPS is operating. Voltage may still be present even when the AC input
indicator is Off.
2.8.6 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.
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.

Figure 6.1 Terminal-block communication pin layout
NO. DESCRIPTION
1 Low battery warning
2 On-battery warning
3 Any mode shutdown
4 Battery mode shutdown

6.3.1 Any Mode Shutdown
The purpose of Any Mode Shutdown is to shut down the UPS output by turning Off the rectifier, inverter
and static switch so that there is no power to the loads.
Any Mode Shutdown can be operated locally or remotely:
• Local Any Mode Shutdown can be performed by shorting the pins in terminal 3.
• Remote Any Mode Shutdown can be performed using a switch mounted at a remote location
and connected to the pins in terminal 3.
NOTE: Remote Power Off will be performed either by NO or NC contact of Any Mode Shutdown,
depending on the settings in the configuration program.
A current-limited source for this optocoupler (+12 VDC, 50 mA) will be available from the UPS.
The connection to the UPS for remote connection will be via terminal block connector.
Any Mode Shutdown wiring must conform to all national, regional and local wiring regulations.
WARNING! When the Auto-Enable output option is selected and the UPS output is disabled
using Any Mode Shutdown, the GXT4 output can turn On automatically and without warning if
the connection is changed.
6.3.2 Battery Mode Shutdown

Battery Mode Shutdown permits shutting down the UPS by turning Off the rectifier, inverter and static
switch so that there is no power to the load when the UPS is On Battery. The auxiliary power for the UPS
will still be active.
Battery Mode Shutdown can be performed locally or remotely:
• Local Battery Mode shutdown can be performed by shorting the pins in terminal 4.
• Remote Battery Mode Shutdown can be performed using a switch mounted in a remote
location and connected to the pins in terminal 4.
NOTE: Remote Power Off will be performed by NO contact.

A current-limited source (+12 VDC, 50 mA) will be available from UPS.
The connection to the GXT4 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 mains power returns during this countdown,
the GXT4 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.
6.3.3 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.

6.3.4 Low Battery
Low Battery signal is a Normally Open (NO) dry contact. When the UPS is supplying output power from
the battery and has reached the Low Battery Warning time selected in the configuration program, this
dry contact will be closed.
The rated values for the dry contacts for the On Battery and Low Battery signals are:
• Rated Voltage: 30 V (AC or DC)

• Rated Current: 300 mA
6.4 Remote Emergency Power Off—GXT4-6000RTL630

The UPS is equipped with a Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) connector.

7 MAINTENANCE
This section describes replacing the internal battery pack, precautions, checking the UPS status and
checking UPS functions.
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.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.

• Use tools with insulated handles.
• 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).
7.1 Replacing the Internal Battery Pack

The GXT4 allows you to replace the internal battery pack safely. Refer to Table 7.1 below for internal
battery pack part numbers for GXT4:

NOTE: The internal battery pack is hot-swappable. However, caution should be exercised because
during this procedure the load is unprotected from disturbances and power outages. 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.
7.2 Battery Charging

The batteries are valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid and should be kept charged to attain their
design life. The GXT4 charges the batteries continuously when it is connected to the utility input power.
If the GXT4 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.

• 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.
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.

Run times in this table are approximate. They 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.
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.
• 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.
