Connectivity cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of devices. The 9PX G2 models have one available communication bay for the following connectivity cards: • Gigabit Network card ( Network-M3) : provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection and enables secure UPS monitoring over HTTPS web browser interface, SNMP v1/v3 protocol and email alarms.
5.7 UPS remote control functions Programmable signal inputs The 9PX G2 incorporates several programmable signal inputs: one Remote Power Off (RPO) input terminal, one Remote On/Off (ROO) input terminal, one RS-232 input (pin-4). Signal inputs can be configured (see Settings > Comm settings > Signal Input) to have one of the following functions:...
Programmable signal outputs The 9PX G2 incorporates several programmable signal outputs: Two relay outputs and two optocoupler outputs (DB9 pins 1, 7 and 8). Signal outputs can be configured (see Settings > Comm settings > Output Signals) to report the following information:...
It also gives you a complete record of critical power events, and it notifies you of important UPS or power information. If there is a power outage and the 9PX G2 UPS battery power becomes low, Eaton Software suite can automatically shut down your computer system to protect your data before the UPS shutdown occurs.
On the first startup of the UPS, you will need to configure the output voltage and time of the UPS. 9. Verify that the UPS power cord is plugged in. 10. The UPS front panel display illuminates and shows Eaton logo. 11. Verify that the UPS status screen shows 12.
UPS starts to beep and indicator is blinking. The UPS then transfers to Standby mode, and the indicator turns off. 6.5 Operating modes The Eaton 9PX G2 front panel indicates the UPS status through the UPS indicators located above the LCD screen. LED indicator: Normal mode When the green symbol is illuminated, the UPS is providing protected AC power output.
Battery mode When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps once every ten seconds and the indicator illuminates solid. The LED bar is flashing blue. The necessary energy is provided by the battery. When the utility power returns, the UPS transfers to Normal mode operation while the battery recharges. If battery capacity becomes low while in Battery mode, the audible alarm beeps faster.
Transfers to High Efficiency mode will be active after five minutes of Bypass voltage monitoring: if Bypass quality is not in tolerance, then the UPS will remain in Normal mode. Eaton recommends using the HE mode only to protect IT equipment. To set the High Efficiency mode: 1.
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.
