4.0OPERATION

This section describes checks to be made before starting the UPS, how to start the UPS, manual battery test, manual bypass, shutting down the UPS and disconnecting the mains power from the UPS.

NOTE

The Liebert GXT3’s battery has been fully charged before delivery, but some charge will be lost during storage and shipping. To ensure that the battery has adequate reserve power to protect the connected load, charge the battery for three hours before putting the UPS into service.

4.1Startup Checklist for the Liebert GXT3

Before starting the UPS, perform these checks:

___ 1. Check that the input plugs and loads are connected properly and reliably.

___ 2. Check that the battery cable is connected properly.

___ 3. Check that the communication cables are connected properly.

4.2Starting the UPS

1.Turn On the input circuit breaker (see Figure 2 for its position).

2.Turn On the UPS by pressing the On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button for three seconds.

After the button is pressed, the LEDs on the display will signal that the unit has initiated the startup process.

3.Once the inverter LED has been illuminated, turn On the connected loads.

4.Check the status indicators to determine whether the Liebert GXT3 is operating normally.

5.Check the load level indicators to verify that the connected load does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity.

The UPS is now providing conditioned power to the loads.

4.3Manual Battery Test

To initiate a manual battery test, press the On/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery Test button for at least half a second while operating from mains power with no alarm conditions present.

If only the first two of the five LED segments illuminate, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries for 24 hours.

Retest the batteries after 24 hours of charging.

After the batteries have been retested, if only two of the five Battery LEDs illuminate, contact your local Emerson® representative or Emerson Network Power Channel Support.

If none of the five Battery LEDs illuminate during a manual battery test, check the battery connection and allow the UPS to recharge the batteries for 1 hour, then initiate a manual battery test again.

If none of the five Battery LEDs illuminate during the second manual battery test, replace batteries and contact your local Emerson representative or Emerson Channel Support.

4.4Manual Bypass

Press the Standby/Manual Bypass button once while the UPS is in Mains (AC) Mode and hold it for about 2 seconds. The UPS will transfer the connected loads to the internal bypass. If the internal bypass is not available because of mains power problems, pressing this button once will be ignored. Bypass operation is indicated by an audible alarm and illuminated amber Bypass indicator. (If other indicators are illuminated, refer to 7.0 - Troubleshooting.)
