Battery
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 GXT4’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 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 GXT4 uses valve-regulated, nonspillable, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design life,
operate the Liebert 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.
Dynamic Bypass
The Liebert GXT4 provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected loads in the unlikely event of
a UPS malfunction. Should the Liebert GXT4 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
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.
NOTICE
Risk of loss of power to the connected load. Can cause equipment damage.
Turning Off the Liebert 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 5.2.1 - Configuration
Program).
NOTE
The default for all models of the Liebert GXT4 is “Auto Sensing - 50Hz or 60Hz – Bypass
Enabled.”
! CAUTION
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.
2.0 Installation
NOTE
The GXT4 External Battery Cabinet shipping package includes one battery cabinet, two spacers
for tower configuration and one DC power cable and rack mounting hardware, including screws,
handles and mounting rail kit (not included with “E” models).

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:
• Turn Off and unplug the Liebert 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 Liebert GXT4.
• Do not place the Liebert GXT4 power cord where it might be damaged.
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. 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.
The UPS should initiate 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.
