CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test Button
This button controls output power to connected load(s) and has three functions:
On, Alarm Silence, and Manual Battery Test. Pressing this button will start up
the UPS in order to provide conditioned and protected power into the utility
socket.
To silence alarms, press this button for at least one half second while alarm
conditions are present. After the alarm is silenced, the UPStation GXT™ will
reactivate the alarm system to alert of additional problems.
Note: The low battery and bypass reminder alarms cannot be silenced.
To initiate a manual battery test, press this button for at least one half second
while operating from utility power and no alarm conditions are present.
If the bottom two LEDs do not illuminate during a Battery Test, allow the UPS to
recharge the batteries for 24 hours. After 24 hours, retest the batteries. If the
batteries have been retested and the bottom two LEDs still do not illuminate,
contact your dealer or Liebert Technical Support (LTS) for a battery replacement
kit.
Off/Bypass Button
This button controls output power to connected load(s) and has dual functions:
Off and Bypass.
CAUTION: Pressing this button once will cause the load to be transferred to
bypass power. Pressing this button a second time within 4 seconds will result in
loss of power to the output sockets and connected loads. Perform all necessary
shutdown procedures on connected loads before pressing this button twice.
Load/Battery Level Indicators (4 Green, 1 Amber)
The Load/Battery Level indicators have dual functions. During normal mode
operation LED indicators display the approximate electrical load placed upon the
UPS; and during battery mode operation LED indicators display approximate
battery capacity. Refer to the Typical Battery Discharge Curves to determine the
approximate amount of back up time with respect to your connected load
percentage.
The UPStation GXT™ is equipped with automatic and remote battery test
features. The automatic test occurs every 14 days if utility has not been
interrupted (14 day timer resets if unit goes to battery). Should the battery fail
this test, the fault indicator along with the A and C diagnostic LEDs will illuminate
and an alarm will sound (refer to Troubleshooting Guide). The remote test
feature functions with either SiteNet® 2 or SiteNet® SNMP Manager software
and can remotely initiate the battery test.
Fault Indicator (Red)
The Fault indicator is illuminated if the UPS has detected a problem. Also, one or
more of the load/battery level indicators may be illuminated (refer to
Troubleshooting Guide).
Bypass Indicator (Amber)
The Bypass indicator is illuminated when the UPS is operating from bypass
power. An alarm will sound indicating the UPS detected a problem, or the
manual bypass function has been activated.
10
UPS On Indicator (Green)
The UPS On indicator is illuminated when the UPS inverter is operating and
supplying power to your connected loads.
Battery Indicator (Amber)
The Battery indicator is illuminated when the UPS is operating from the battery
system.
AC Input Indicator (Green)
The AC Input indicator is illuminated when utility power is available and within the
input specification.
Output Voltage Selector Switches
The Output Voltage Selector Switches, located on the rear of the UPS, are
designed to allow selecting or changing the desired output voltage to match the
utility. The settings to choose from are 208, 220, 230, and 240 VAC output. The
factory default setting is 208 VAC.
NOTE: Never change the switch settings while UPS is on and powering
connected loads.
Switch positions for voltages:
208 VAC
220 VAC own
230 VAC
240 VAC
NOTE: Setting output voltage to any other voltage than 208 VAC will
automatically increase the 1800 VA UPS VA and Watt rating to 2000 VA/1400W
and the 2700 VA UPS VA and Watt rating to 3000 VA/2100W.
OPERATION
NORMAL MODE OPERATION
During normal operation, utility power provides energy to the UPS. The filters,
the power factor conditioning circuit and the inverter process this power to
provide computer grade power to connected loads. The UPS maintains the
batteries in a fully charged state.
The four green LEDs indicate an approximate level of load in 25% increments. If
the UPS becomes loaded beyond full rating, the fifth (amber) LED indicator will
illuminate and sound an alarm.
The display template indicates the percentage of load on the UPS output. Figure
1 displays approximately 51-75% loading.
