INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your choice of the UPStation GXT™ 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 which may interrupt computer operations, cause data loss, or even
damage equipment. The UPStation GXT™ protects equipment from these
disturbances.
The UPStation GXT™ comes in nominal power ratings of 700, 1000, 1500, 2000,
or 3000 VA. Complete specifications appear near the end of this section.
The UPStation GXT™ is a compact, “on-line” UPS. An “on-line” UPS
continuously conditions and regulates its output voltage, whether the mains
power is present or not. It supplies connected equipment with clean sinewave
power. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power.
For ease of use, the UPStation GXT™ contains a light emitting diode (LED)
display to indicate either “load percentage” or “battery capacity” depending upon
the mode of operation. It also provides self-diagnostics, a combination On/Alarm
Silence/Manual Battery Test button, a combination Off/Bypass button, and two
levels of alarms when the unit is operating on battery.
The UPStation GXT™ has an interface port for communications between the
UPS and a LAN server or other computer system. This port provides detailed
operating information including voltages, currents, and alarm status to the host
system when used in conjunction with the SiteNet® 2 software. SiteNet® 2
software can also remotely control UPS operation.
