4.8 Cybersecurity Eaton is committed to minimizing the Cybersecurity risk in its products and employs cybersecurity best practices and the latest cybersecurity technologies in its products and solutions, making them more secure, reliable and competitive for our customers. Eaton also offers Cybersecurity Best Practices whitepapers to its customers, referenced at www.eaton.com/cybersecurity.
5.4 Operating modes The Eaton 5PX front panel indicates the UPS status through the UPS indicators located above the LCD screen. Normal mode When the green Sinewave symbol is illuminated, the UPS is providing protected AC power output. The UPS monitors and charges the batteries as needed and provides power protection to your equipment.
If you store the equipment for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The internal batteries charge to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours. However, Eaton recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.
6.4 Replacing batteries DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode. For battery replacement follow Eaton instructions provided on www.eaton.eu/BatteryServices Batteries can be replaced easily without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.

Replacing the internal battery : The internal battery is heavy. Use caution when handling the heavy batteries. A - Pull off the front panel by pressing on the both side B - Disconnect the battery block by separating the connectors (never pull on the wires). C - Remove the metal protection cover in front of the battery (three screws or two screws for 3U models).
7 Troubleshooting The Eaton 5PX is designed for reliable, autonomous operation while providing you with notifications and alerts whenever a potential operational or performance issue occurs. Usually the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert the user.
Use the following troubleshooting chart to determine the UPS alarm condition. 7.1 Typical alarms and faults The Eaton5PX are designed for durable, automatic operation and also alert you whenever potential operating problems may occur. Usually the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert the user.
