  4. Connect the equipment to the out-lets (51) and (52) on the HotSwap MBP module. These outlets differ, depending on the version of the HotSwap MBP module.


Do not use UPS outlets (8) and (9) to supply equipment because use of switch (55) on the HotSwap MBP module would cut supply to the equipment.

HotSwap MBP module operation

The HotSwap MBP module has a rotary switch (55) with two positions:

Normal t he load is supplied by the UPS, LED (53) is on.
Bypass t he load is supplied directly by the AC-power source. LED (54) is on.

UPS start-up with the HotSwap MBP module

  1. Check that the UPS is correctly connected to the HotSwap MBP module.
  2. Set switch (55) to Normal position.
  3. Start the UPS by pressing the ON/OFF button on the UPS control panel. The load is supplied by the UPS.
    LED (53) "UPS ON - OK to switch" on the HotSwap MBP module goes ON.

HotSwap MBP module test

  1. Set switch (55) to Bypass position and check that the load is still supplied.
  2. Set switch (55) back to Normal position.

UPS connection without a FlexPDU or HotSwap MBP module

warning Check that the indications on the name plate located on the back of the UPS correspond to the AC-power source and the true electrical consumption of the total load.
UPS connection without a FlexPDU/HotSwap MBP module

  1. 5PX 1500i / 2000i: connect the UPS input socket (10) to the AC-power source using the cable of the protected equipment. 5PX 2200i / 3000i: connect the supplied cable (31) (250 V - 16 A) to the socket (10), then to the AC-power source.
  2. Connect the loads to the UPS using the cables (32).
    It is preferable to connect the priority loads to the four outlets marked (9) and the non-priority loads to the four outlets marked (8) that can be programmed in pairs (1 and 2).
    For the 5PX 2200i / 3000i models, connect any high-power devices to the 16 A outlet (7).
    information To program shutdown of outlets (8) during operation on battery power and thus optimise the available backup time, please check the in/out settings.
  3. Fit the connection securing system (35) that prevents the plugs from being pulled out accidentally.

warning Note. The UPS charges the battery as soon as it is connected to the AC-power source, even if button is not pressed.

Once the UPS is connected to the AC-power source, eight hours of charging are required before the battery can supply the rated backup time.

Operation

Start-up and Normal operation

To start the UPS:

  1. Verify that the UPS power cord is plugged in.
  2. The UPS front panel display illuminates and shows EATON logo.
  3. Verify that the UPS status screen shows .
  4. Press the button on the UPS front panel for at least 2 seconds.
    The UPS front panel display changes status to "UPS starting...".
  5. Check the UPS front panel display for active alarms or notices. Resolve any active alarms before continuing. See "Troubleshooting".
    If the indicator is on, do not proceed until all alarms are clear. Check the UPS status from the front panel to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and restart if necessary.
  6. Verify that the indicator illuminates solid, indicating that the UPS is operating normally and any loads are powered and protected. The UPS should be in Normal mode.

Starting the UPS on Battery

information Before using this feature, the UPS must have been powered by utility power with output enabled at least once.
Battery start can be disabled. See the "Cold start" setting in "ON/OFF Settings".

To start the UPS on battery:

  1. Press the button on the UPS front panel until the UPS front panel display illuminates and shows a status of "UPS starting...". The UPS cycles through Standby mode to Battery mode. The indicator illuminates solid. The UPS supplies power to your equipment.
  2. Check the UPS front panel display for active alarms or notices besides the "Battery mode" notice and notices that indicate missing utility power. Resolve any active alarms before continuing. See "Troubleshooting". Check the UPS status from the front panel to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and restart if necessary.

UPS Shutdown

To shut down the UPS:

  1. Press the button on the front panel for three seconds.
    The UPS starts to beep and shows a status of "UPS shutting OFF...". The UPS then transfers to Standby mode, and the indicator turns off.

Operation on Battery Power

Transfer to battery power

  • The connected devices continue to be supplied by the UPS when AC input power is no longer available.
    The necessary energy is provided by the battery.
  • The and indicator illuminates solid.
  • The audio alarm beeps every ten seconds.

information The connected devices are supplied by the battery.

Low-battery warning

  • The and indicator illuminates solid.
  • The audio alarm beeps every three seconds.

information The remaining battery power is low. Shut down all applications on the connected equipment because automatic UPS shutdown is imminent.

End of battery backup time

  • LCD displays "End of backup time".
  • All the LEDs go OFF.
  • The audio alarms stops.

Return of AC Input Power

Following an outage, the UPS restarts automatically when AC input power returns (unless the restart function has been disabled) and the load is supplied again.

UPS remote control functions

5PX offers a choice between two remote control functions.

  • RPO: Remote Power Off allow a remote contact to be used to disconnect all the equipment connected to the UPS. Restarting the UPS requires manual intervention.
  • ROO: Remote ON/OFF allows remote action of button to shut down the UPS.

These functions are obtained by opening a contact connected between the appropriate pins of connector (5) on the rear panel of the UPS (see figures below).

Remote control connection and test

  1. Check that the UPS is OFF and disconnected from the AC input source.
  2. Remove connector (5) after unscrewing the screws.
  3. Connect a normally closed volt-free contact (60 V DC / 30 V AC max., 20 mA max., 0.75 mm2 cable cross-section) between the two pins of connector (5) (see diagram).

Contact open: UPS shutdown
Contact closed: UPS start-up (UPS connected to AC power and AC power is available)

warning Note. The local ON/OFF control using button overrides the remote-control function.

Contact open: UPS shutdown, LED goes ON.
To return to normal operation, deactivate the remote external contact and restart the UPS by pressing button .

  1. Plug connector (5) into the back of the UPS.
  2. Connect and restart the UPS following the previously described procedures.
  3. Activate the external remote shutdown contact to test the function.


This connector must only be connected to SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) circuits.

Troubleshooting
