Figure 1-4 Operating principle diagram

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.

Transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) and EMI/RFI filters

The Liebert GXT4 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.

Rectifier/Power factor correction (PFC) circuit

In normal operation, the Liebert GXT4’s rectifier/power factor correction (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 being available to other devices in the building not being protected by the Liebert GXT4

UPS.

Inverter

In normal operation, the Liebert GXT4 UPS’s inverter utilizes the DC output of the PFC 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.

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 Liebert GXT4 UPS is plugged in, even when the UPS is not

turned on.

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.

4 Chapter 1 Product Description


Battery

The Liebert GXT4 UPS uses valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain the battery design life,

operate the Liebert GXT4 UPS 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 time.

Dynamic bypass

The Liebert GXT4 UPS provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected loads in the unlikely event of a

UPS malfunction. Should the Liebert GXT4 UPS 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 power.

1.5 Operating Mode

The UPS operation modes include: Utility (AC) mode, Manual Bypass mode, Battery mode, Battery Recharge mode,

Frequency Converter mode and Green mode.

For the descriptions of indicators and control buttons in this section, refer to Chapter 3 Operation And Display

Panel.

Utility (AC) mode

During Utility (AC) mode, utility power provides energy to the Liebert GXT4 UPS. The filters, PFC circuit and the

inverter process this power to provide computer-grade power to connected loads. Meanwhile, the UPS maintains the

batteries in a fully charged state.

Manual Bypass mode

Manual bypass mode occurs when you select Main Menu -> 3 CONTROL -> 1 TURN ON & OFF to enter the TURN

ON & OFF screen, and select ‘TURN UPS BYPASS’ while the Liebert GXT4 UPS is in Utility (AC) mode. Bypass

operation is indicated by an audible alarm and an illuminated bypass indicator. “UPS in Bypass operation” will be

displayed in the LCD display panel. During manual bypass mode, utility power bypasses the inverter and provides

energy to the connected load.

Caution

Turning off the UPS in Bypass mode will result in loss of output power and dropped loads.

Battery mode

The Liebert GXT4 enters Battery mode when utility power fails or is outside acceptable values. 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 Liebert 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 “Utility power not available” will be displayed in the LCD

display panel.

For approximate battery run time, refer to Table 9-5 in Chapter 9 Specifications. The battery run time is based on

resistive load and an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C). To increase the time, turn off non-priority loads (such as

idle computers and monitors) or add optional external battery cabinets.

Caution

1. Turning off the Liebert GXT4 when it is in Battery Mode will result in loss of output power.

2. If the UPS is turned off manually, it must be manually restarted after utility power returns.

3. If the UPS is turned off by a communication signal or because the batteries are depleted, it will operate as selected in the configuration program for Auto-Restart (Refer to Configuration program in 5.2 USB Port Communication).



Battery Recharge mode

Once utility power is applied to the Liebert GXT4, the battery charger begins charging the batteries.

Frequency Converter mode

All models of the Liebert GXT4 are capable of frequency conversion. Frequency Conversion mode can be selected

using the configuration program or LCD. 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

The default for all models of the Liebert GXT4 is ‘Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass Enabled’.

Green mode

All models of the Liebert GXT4 are capable of operating in Green mode. Green mode can be selected using the

configuration program or LCD display panel. Allowable green modes include:

Green mode ‘Off’ (Online mode, that is, Utility (AC) mode)

6.3 Precautions

Although the Liebert GXT4 has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety, improper use can result

in electrical shock or fire. To ensure safety, observe the following precautions:

1. Turn Off and unplug the Liebert GXT4 before cleaning it.

2. Clean the UPS with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

3. Never block or insert any objects into the ventilation holes or other openings of the Liebert GXT4.

4. Do not place the Liebert GXT4 power cord where it might be damaged.

6.4 Checking UPS Status

Emerson recommends 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? Does the LCD display panel

display any warning or fault?

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 Emerson representative or Emerson Channel 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 local Emerson representative or Emerson Channel Support.

6.5 Checking UPS Functions

Note

UPS function check procedures may interrupt power supply to the connected load.

Emerson recommends checking the UPS functions once every six months.

Back up the load data before conducting the UPS functions check. Procedures are as follows:

1. Select Main Menu -> 3 CONTROL -> 1 TURN ON & OFF to enter the TURN ON & OFF screen, and select ‘TURN

UPS BYPASS’ to transfer the UPS to bypass. Check whether the LCD display panel displays the warning normally.

2. Select Main Menu -> 2 CONFIGURATION -> 4 OUTLET1/5 OUTLET2-> 1 OUTLET CONTROL to enter the

OUTLET CONTROL screen (see Figure 3-13), select ‘TURN ON’ or ‘TURN OFF’ and press the ENTER button to

control the programmable receptacle 1/2. Check whether the LCD display panel displays the outlet status normally.

3. Select Main Menu -> 2 CONFIGURATION -> 3 OPERATION MODE to enter the OPERATION MODE screen (see

Figure 3-11), and select ‘GREEN MODE ON’ or ‘GREEN MODE AUTO’ to control the UPS operation mode. Check

whether the LCD display panel displays the mode normally.

4. Select Main Menu -> 3 CONTROL -> 3 BATT TEST to enter the BATT TEST screen, and select ‘1 START’ to start

manual battery test. Check whether the UPS can operate normally in Battery mode. If not, stop and contact your local

Emerson representative or Emerson Channel Support.
