Benefits

The Eaton® HotSwap MBP module makes it possible to service or even replace the UPS without affecting the connected loads (HotSwap function).
You can safely eliminate the effects of UPS maintenance and guard the integrity of your equipment.
Providing outstanding reliability, the Eaton HotSwap MBP unique benefits include:

• Easy and fast connection to UPS due to Input/Output and signal "all in one" patented connector (Hotswap MBP 5/6kVA range)
• "make before break" feature to allow full servicing (electrical power continuity) when switching from UPS position to Bypass (and vice versa)
• Communication feature with UPS: detection of MBP connection and switch position (Normal or Bypass)
• Load connection by both terminal blocks and NEMA outlets (30 A L6-30P on 11k MBP and 20 A L6-30P on 6k MBP )
• Adjustable 19'' Rack kit and multiple positions Tower installation kit provided
• Backed by worldwide agency approvals.

Presentation

The HotSwap MBP has a manual Bypass rotary switch with two positions:

• UPS => the load is supplied by the UPS
• Bypass => the load is supplied directly by the AC power source

2 lights indicate the Hotswap MBP power status:

• "UPS supply" green light: when active, the UPS output is available, the Bypass switch can be safely turned to UPS position
• "Bypass mode" red light: when active, indicates that the Hotswap MBP is on "Bypass mode" (Bypass switch turned to Bypass position)

Normal AC source switch:
Allow to safely switch off the AC source of the UPS, for UPS maintenance / replacing

MBP status detection:
A signal cable, with RJ11 connector to plug to the UPS, allows the communication to the UPS to manage the MBP status, and the indication on UPS display panel of both following status:

• MBP connection to UPS
• Bypass switch position

MBP electrical connection


Manually trip the input circuit breaker of your installation before connecting the supply cables.
Access to the terminal block, remove the circular covers and screw the cable glands.

MBP6KiG2 used with 5000VA and 6000VA UPS

MBP11KiG2 used with 8000VA and 11000VA UPS

Insert the electrical cables.
Follow below instructions for upstream protection and cable cross section.
Use copper cable only, and not aluminum.

Recommended upstream protection
The upstream circuit breaker for Normal AC/Bypass AC must be easily accessible. The unit can be disconnected from AC power source by opening this circuit breaker.

Do not use 30 mA RCD/ELCB breaker upstream the UPS.

*If the UPS load is less than 90%; Or the total battery Ah less than 20Ah, the UPS will limit the charger current to 4A (0.2*20 = 4A), in this case, you could select the 70A (in US/CSA)/ 63A(others) upstream circuit breaker. (these conditions are not certificated)

Recommended cable cross-sections for standard installation

Configuration	Minimum input wire size			Minimum output wire size			Min Tightening torque	Terminal wire size rating
	L1	N(L2)		L1	N(L2)
9PX5KIRTNG2 + MBP6KIG2	6 mm²*/ 10 AWG			6 mm² / 10 AWG			16 lb-in	16 mm2/ 6AWG

9PX8KIRTNG2+ MBP11KIG2	10 mm²* / 6 AWG			10 mm² / 8 AWG			22 lb-in	25 mm2/ 4AWG
9PX11KIRTNG2+ MBP11KIG2	10 mm²* / 4 AWG			10 mm² / 6 AWG
* High leakage current, the minimum cross-section of protective earthing conductor of 10mm2 Cu shall be selected. Note: For Supply connections, use wires suitable for at least 90°C copper or equivalent. AWG used in US/CSA, mm2 used in others

Strip the copper supply cable keeping the Earth cable longer for safety purpose.

Safety instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the MBP and UPS.
The HotSwap MBP models that are covered in this manual are intended for installation in an environment within 0 to 40°C, free of conductive contaminant.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Class A UPS, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Safety of persons

• The system has its own power source when connected to the UPS (UPS battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the system is disconnected from the AC power source. Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system.
• It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
• The product must be properly grounded, always connect the earth wire first

Product safety

• The MBP connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order. Disconnection and overcurrent protection devices shall be provided by others for AC in/out circuits.
• 
  To reduce the risk of fire, the unit connects only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection (please refer to the UPS User Manual for current rating). The upstream circuit breaker must be easily accessible.
• The unit can be disconnected from AC power source by opening this circuit breaker, and if still connected to UPS, by previously shutting down the UPS (refer to the UPS User Manual)
• Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered system and to the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the system.
• Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
• Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
• Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
• If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
• The admissible storage temperature range is -15ºC to +60ºC.

Special precautions

• The HotSwap MBP is designed to work with approved EATON UPS (contact your Eaton reseller for more information)
• All repairs and service should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the MBP.

Special symbols

The following are examples of symbols used on the UPS or accessories to alert you to important information:

	Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC power source.
	Important instructions that must always be followed. Batteries present a risk of energy or electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. Observe proper precaution. Batteries may contain HIGH VOLTAGE and CORROSIVE, TOXIC and EXPLOSIVE substances.
	Information, advice, help.
	Read the documentation provided.
	This equipment should only be used in a dry indoor environment.
	Operating range of temperature.
	Operating range of humidity.
	The UPS and their batteries must be kept in a ventilated place.
