Special Symbols The following are examples of symbols used on the UPS or accessories to alert you to important information: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - Observe the warning associated with the risk of electric shock symbol. CAUTION: REFER TO OPERATOR'S MANUAL - Refer to your operator's manual for additional information, such as important operating and maintenance instructions.
The 9PXM is a modular UPS with a power range of 4kVA to 20kVA. Each Power Module is rated for up to 4kVA. The 20kVA (N+1) Split-Phase model chassis will have twelve slots, two per row.

NO instale en los módulos de potencia del sistema más de seis módulos de potencia y/o de cargadores opcionales de baterías. Los módulos de baterías a utilizarse en el sistema Eaton 9PXM son del modelo P-103002954. Cada módulo de batería pesa 15 kg (33 lb). Levante y mueva con cuidado los módulos de baterías.
Introduction Physical Features The Eaton 9PXM UPS is available in eight or twelve-slot cabinet sizes. The cabinet front has a control panel and magnetic-latch front covers that provide access to the power modules and battery packs. Casters and leveling feet are installed on a caster tray for a floor-mounted UPS installation (see Figure 1).
Page 16
DB-9, USB ports and communication slots for network connectivity cards allow for remote monitoring of UPS operation. Slots for output receptacles installed by Eaton are available by removable knockout panels depending on the user’s requirements (see Figure 2).
Each battery module contains two battery packs that can be removed and installed separately from the battery slots in the chassis. A battery pack supplies 60VDC with five 12V batteries, each battery string in a 9PXM battery slot supplies 120VDC, with 10 batteries (see Figure 4). Battery Packs (2) Figure 4.
Uninterruptible Power Modules (UPM) The eight-slot 9PXM chassis can accommodate a maximum of four power modules and the twelve-slot can contain up to six modules. Each 4kVA has a built in 5 Amp battery charger and is cooled by two cooling fans.(see Figure 5).
External battery cabinets may be installed with bases tight against the UPS cabinet base and against each other. Location Requirements Install the Eaton 9PXM UPS as close as possible to the equipment or the load distribution panel it will protect. If a separate external battery cabinet (EBM) is installed, the battery cabinets must be adjacent to the Eaton 9PXM UPS.

For ease of installation, determine if you have sufficient clearance at the rear of the UPS to complete the electrical connections before securing the UPS in its final position (see Chapter 4, “UPS Electrical Installation”) Eaton 9PXM UPS (4-20 kVA) User’s Guide P-164000669—Rev 05...
(Chapter 4, “UPS Electrical Installation”) The 12-slot Eaton 9PXM UPS cabinet is shipped with four anchor (stabilizer) brackets (Kit P-157002300). These brackets must be attached to the floor. Under all module-loading conditions, they act as a protective stop to prevent the cabinet from falling forward if it is unintentionally pushed.
The Eaton 9PXM UPS and the battery cabinet are very heavy with power modules and battery strings installed. If installed, before moving the cabinets, remove the power modules and battery strings (see “Power Module and Battery String Installation”...

UPS with Bypass Electrical Installation The Eaton 9PXM UPS input power is hardwired through a conduit to either a main power source circuit breaker or to an optional bypass switch. It is recommended that you install an Eaton® Bypass Power Module (BPM) to enable power transfer during maintenance or UPS downtime.
NOTE 2 To accommodate the feature of easy system expandability, it is recommended that initial installation of the Eaton 9PXM UPS contains wiring to support the maximum capacity of the UPS cabinet of 20kVA for 12-slot and 16-kVA for 8-slot cabinets.
To install the UPS with an external bypass switch: Mount the bypass switch within sight of the UPS. If you do not have an Eaton bypass switch or the fuse box or panel is out of sight, you must install a separate disconnect switch next to the UPS.
