In addition to the UPS, you will need the configuration program diskette (or installation file) and serial cable included in the UPS accessory box. A Windows 95 -or-later based operating system is also required to run the configuration program.
This will open the main installation screen. Click NEXT to continue with the installation screens.
It is recommended that the default installation options be used, but you will be given the option to make modifications to the standard entries. The installation program will also install an Uninstaller program along with the UPS configuration program.
ON-SCREEN REMINDERS As pending changes are selected, on-screen messages will light up to remind the user if the UPS may be on, or must be off, for the setting to be programmed once the APPLY or OK button is pressed. If there are no changes, these messages are shaded. Values displayed will only be transmitted to the UPS when either the APPLY or OK button is selected. The APPLY button sends the new settings to the UPS without closing the program. The OK button sends the new settings and closes the program. Whenever data is transmitted to the UPS, will be displayed. If already ON, you do restart it. successfully this message the UPS is not need to
PROGRAMMING REJECTED EVEN WHEN OFF? If the UPS appears to be off but this error message is displayed when the APPLY or OK button is selected to transmit new settings on the UPS TAB or OPTIONS TAB, the UPS may be in an intermediate standby condition. To confirm that the UPS is fully off, repeat the turn off procedure. While the UPS is in Normal Mode operation, press the OFF button once to put the UPS into Bypass Mode. Once the UPS is in Bypass Mode operation, press and release the OFF button two distinct times (for about a second each time) to turn off the UPS. PARTIAL REJECTION? If the UPS is not OFF, and changes from both the BATTERY TAB and the (UPS TAB or OPTIONS TAB) are selected, the UPS will only program the changes on the BATTERY TAB.
UPS Tab
When the program starts, the following window will open displaying the UPS model along with the current UPS settings. This information can be refreshed at any time using the REFRESH button. This illustration shows the factory default settings for 120VAC UPS. OUTPUT VOLTAGE The Output Voltage displayed is the nominal input/output voltage.
This is not a voltmeter and will display the nominal voltage whether the UPS is on or off. The drop down box will show the alternate voltages available. Select the voltage that matches the nominal utility in your location.
Notes about Output Voltage Selection For the GXT2-6000RT208 Dual-Inverter model, this sets the L1-N and the L2-N nominal voltage. The L1-L2 voltage is dependant upon the phase angle of the input utility and is auto-detected when power is first applied. For the GXT2-6000RT230 single inverter model, only those voltages supported by the UPS will be displayed.
L-N REVERSE DETECTION (120V UPS Models only) Proper wiring of the receptacle powering the UPS is critical for safety, EMI suppression, and surge suppression. The UPS checks the outlet when first plugged in. If the Line-Neutral is reversed or the ground is missing, the UPS will not start. If a problem is detected after the UPS is started, the UPS will continue to operate, but the AC INPUT LED will flash. In some unique applications the user may wish to disable this alarm. Except for special situations, improperly wired receptacles should be immediately repaired before the UPS is put into service. Click on the box to remove the checkmark and disable this alarm. FREQUENCY SELECTION The UPS is normally designed for 50Hz or 60Hz operation. The factory default corresponds to the model. All models are capable of being used as 50Hz or 60Hz systems. The UPS will Auto-sense the utility frequency when first plugged in and set the nominal frequency to match. Therefore, for all normal use the Auto Sense button should be selected. Some special applications require that the UPS be used as a frequency converter. Frequency Converter 50Hz mode will provide 50Hz UPS output from 60Hz commercial power. Frequency converter 60Hz mode will provide 50Hz UPS output from 60Hz commercial power. Note that frequency converter operation disables the Bypass. If, for any reason, the UPS inverter is unable to power the load, the alternate bypass to utility power will not be available and power will be removed from any load.
Options Tab
Computer users may choose to use versatile computer shutdown software that communicates with the UPS via a serial communication cable. The Options tab should not be used to modify the UPS functions for such applications. For some industrial applications and special computer applications, the UPS may be monitored and controlled using external voltages and relay contact signals. The Options tab expands the UPS versatility for such applications. Refer to your UPS manual for a description of the 9-pin communication connector on the rear of the UPS. Pin 6 of the 9-pin communication connector is used for Any Mode Shutdown of the UPS output. This control input may be used in special applications to disable the UPS output power both Inverter and Bypass. The Options tab allows the behavior of the Any Mode Shutdown feature to be modified. When the program opens, or the REFRESH button is pressed, the UPS setting is read by the configuration program and displayed. Factory Default Setting Illustrated for 700-3000VA models - This Options tab illustration shows the available function definitions using pin 6 and the factory default settings.
Auto-Enable Output WARNING Note that when this option is selected and the UPS output is disabled using Pin 6, the UPS output can turn on automatically and without. Pin 6 Logic WARNING DO NOT CHANGE THIS OPTION from the factory default setting unless you are ready to instantly install a normally-closed connection between Pins 5 & 6. This connection must be maintained to use the UPS or to use the configuration program again, including the ability to change the UPS setting back to the default setting using the configuration program via a serial communication link.

Battery Tab
Factory default settings illustrated.
The boxes on the right show the available options using the dropdown selection boxes.
LOW BATTERY TIME WARNING The UPS will estimate remaining operating time when on batteries. A low battery alarm is activated if the estimated time reaches the Low Battery Time. This may be changed to any value from 2 to 30 minutes. AUTO BATTERY TEST TIME The UPS performs an automated battery test periodically, if enabled. The user may also select time periods of 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. BATTERY CABINETS NUMBER If additional batteries are attached to the UPS, accurate battery runtime estimates are possible if the battery number and type of batteries are entered here. The new UPS models are designed to operate with up to four external battery packs or four long runtime (LRT) battery packs (not currently available). AUTO BATTERY TEST In some applications it may be preferable to disable the automated, periodic battery test. Click on the box to remove the checkmark and disable the periodic battery test.

AUTO RESTART The UPS will provide computer grade power during power outages. If input power is unavailable for an extended time, the UPS will shut down when batteries are depleted, or a shutdown signal is sent by the computer operating system to limit battery depletion (serial data or contact closure). If Auto Restart is enabled (checkmark in box), the UPS will restart when input power is restored. If the UPS turns off power to the load for any other reason, manual restart is required (See Options tab for exceptions). Click on the box to remove the checkmark and disable Auto Restart.
