15. Do not plug appliances, such as hair dryers or heaters into UPS receptacles.
16. Operate UPS only from a grounded outlet (2 wire plus ground) 120 VAC, 60/50 Hz.
17. The UPS is equipped with a grounded NEMA 5-15 input power plug. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of this plug. If unable to fully insert the plug into the outlet, contact
an electrician. All utility receptacles must be grounded as well.
18. Route power supply cords so they are not walked on or pinched.
19. Never block or insert any object into ventilation holes or other openings. Maintain a
minimum clearance of 4” all around UPS for proper air flow and cooling.
20. CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin
and eyes and may be toxic.
21. CAUTION: This UPS complies with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a commercial environment. This UPS generates, uses, and
radiates radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this UPS in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference which
the user must correct at his own expense.
INTRODUCTION & SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on choosing the Liebert UPStation® GX UPS. It provides continuous,
conditioned power to microcomputers and other data processing equipment.
Upon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during transmission, it may be
subject to load variations or accidents that cause power problems like low voltage, voltage
spikes, or complete power failure. These problems may interrupt computer operations,
cause data loss, or even damage equipment.
The UPS protects against many of these disturbances. It smoothes out voltage variations
and during complete power failure, supports equipment long enough for an orderly
shutdown. These compact units are available in three ratings: 1000, 1500, and 2100 VA.
This manual includes specifications for each model.
The UPStation® GX is a compact ”on-line” UPS that supplies critical equipment with
continuous premium, computer-grade power. An ”On-line” UPS continuously generates
and regulates output power, whether utility power is present or not. In contrast, a ”standby”
UPS only generates output power when utility power fails.
The UPStation® GX supplies critical equipment with clean, sinewave power to simulate
utility-generated power. Equipment like computers, monitors, printers, phone systems, and
laboratory instruments operate best on sinewave power.
The LED bar displays indicate ”percentage load” and ”battery capaci
two levels of alarms during battery operation, self-diagnostics, and a combination battery
test / alarm silence switch.
To allow communications between the UPS and a LAN server or other computer system,
the UPStation’ GX UPS is equipped with an RS-232 interface port. This port provides
detailed operating information including voltages, currents, temperature, and alarm status
to the host system when used with Liebert SiteNet soft- ware. In addition, this port allows
remote programming of UPS operation and numerous internal operating parameters.
