Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert UPStation GXT2U™
Uninterruptible Power System (UPS). It provides conditioned power
to microcomputers and other sensitive electronic equipment.
Upon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during
transmission and distribution it may be subject to voltage sags,
spikes, or complete power failure that may interrupt computer opera-
tions, cause data loss, or even damage equipment. The Liebert UPSta-
tion GXT2U protects equipment from these disturbances.
The Liebert UPStation GXT2U comes in nominal power ratings of
700, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 VA. Complete model specifications
appear at the end of this manual (see 12.0 - Specifications).
The Liebert UPStation GXT2U is a compact, “on-line” UPS. An on-line
UPS continuously conditions and regulates its output voltage,
whether mains power is present or not. It supplies connected equip-
ment with clean sinewave power. Sensitive electronic equipment oper-
ates best from sinewave power.
For ease of use, the Liebert UPStation GXT2U features a light-emit-
ting diode (LED) display to indicate either load percentage or battery
capacity depending upon the mode of operation. It also provides self-
diagnostic tests, a combination ON/Alarm Silence/Manual Battery
Test button, a Standby button, user configurable program, and two
levels of alarms when the unit is operating on battery.
The Liebert UPStation GXT2U has an interface port for communica-
tion between the UPS and a network server or other computer sys-
tems. This port provides detailed operating information including
voltages, currents, and alarm status to the host system when used in
conjunction with Liebert MultiLink™ software. Liebert MultiLink
software can also remotely control UPS operation.
