NOTE
The Eaton Ferrups FX UPS is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Its internal control system
checks the batteries and inverter periodically to ensure reliable operation. In fact, you'll probably find that your
FX system requires less maintenance than any of your other computer peripherals.
Nevertheless, the Eaton Ferrups FX UPS and optional external battery cabinets do require some attention to
assure continued reliable service. Eaton recommends that you schedule preventive maintenance checks at
least every six months. At these checks, the service technician should follow Eaton's recommended
maintenance schedule, which includes the following items:
• Check operating environment for clean, cool, dry conditions.
• Inspect and clean the unit.
• View and record the alarm and inverter logs.
• Check the batteries.
• Check the AC and DC meter functions and recalibrate if necessary.
• Perform an outage test.
• Check and record the values of the first 19 parameters while the UPS is online and on battery.
