Battery Safety
! CAUTION
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is toxic and is harmful to skin and
eyes.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
! CAUTION
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.
• 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.
• 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 electri-
cal 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).

Battery
Battery
Charger
L2/N L2/N
G G
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.
Inverter
In normal operation, the Liebert GXT3’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.
8
Product Description
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® GXT3™ 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.
Battery
The Liebert GXT3 uses valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design
life, operate the Liebert GXT3 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.
Dynamic Bypass
The Liebert GXT3 provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected loads in the unlikely
event of a UPS malfunction. Should the Liebert GXT3 have an overload, overtemperature 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.
NOTICE
Turning Off the UPS in bypass mode will result in loss of output power and dropped loads.
9
Product Description
NOTICE
Turning Off the Liebert GXT3 when it is in Battery Mode will result in loss of output power.
If the UPS is turned Off manually, it must be manually restarted after utility power returns.
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 5.2.1 -
Configuration Program).

Installation
2.0 INSTALLATION
NOTE
The GXT3 External Battery Cabinet shipping package includes one battery cabinet, two
spacers for tower configuration and one DC power cable.
NOTE
Operating the Liebert GXT3™ in temperatures above 77°F (25°C) reduces battery life.
Installation Clearances
Maintain at least 4 inches (100mm) clearance 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.

Communication
5.0 COMMUNICATION
This section describes UPS communication over the three types of communication connections on the
rear of the Liebert® GXT3™:
• Liebert IntelliSlot® port
• USB port (standard B-type)
• Terminal Block Communication
! CAUTION
To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and for electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables
should be segregated and run separate from all other power cables.
24
Communication
NOTICE
The output voltage settings cannot be changed while the UPS is On and powering connected
loads.
NOTE
For all 120V models, when the output voltage is programmed for 110VAC, the UPS will be
automatically derated as follows (refer to 9.0 - Specifications for VA and watt ratings):
• 500VA - 1000VA: derated to 95% of both the VA and Watt ratings
• 1500VA - 3000VA: derated to 90% of both the VA and Watt ratings
NOTE
• This program is compatible with UPS models beginning with ‘GXT3’, as in ‘GXT3-
3000RT120.’ It is not compatible with earlier versions of the Liebert GXT UPS.
• A computer running Windows 2000®, XP® or Vista® is required to set up and run the
configuration program.

! WARNING
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.
26
Communication
NOTE
Remote Power Off will be performed by NO contact.
A current-limited source for this optocoupler (+12VDC, 50mA) will be available from UPS.
The connection to the Liebert® GXT3™ for remote connection will be via terminal block
connector.
Battery mode shutdown wiring must conform to all national, regional and local wiring
regulations.
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 shut
down timer. This timer cannot be stopped once triggered. If utility 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.
5.3.3 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.
NOTE
The rated values for the dry contacts for the On Battery and Low Battery signals are:
• Rated Voltage: 30V (AC or DC)
• Rated Current: 300mA
