3. Installation Connecting the internal battery Do not make unauthorized changes to the UPS; otherwise, damage may occur to your equipment and void your warranty. Do not connect the UPS to utility until installation is completed. To install the UPS: 1.
3. Installation Connecting the EBM(s) A small amount of arcing may occur when connecting an EBM to the UPS. This is normal and will not harm personnel. Insert the EBM cable into the UPS battery connector quickly and firmly. 1. Plug the EBM power cable(s) into the battery connector(s). Up to 12 EBMs may be connected to the UPS.
3. Installation Tower installation If you ordered other UPS accessories, refer to specific user manuals to check the tower installation with the UPS. To install the cabinet: 1. Place the UPS on a flat, stable surface in its final location. 2. Always keep 150 mm of free space behind the UPS rear panel. 3. If installing additional cabinets, place them next to the UPS in their final location.
3. Installation Rack installation If you ordered other UPS accessories, refer to specific user manuals to check the rack installation with the UPS. • Prepare UPS for rack mounting. This step requires two people. The UPS is heavy. To ease its rack mounting, you can remove the battery pack from the UPS as explained below.

The UPS should be in Online mode. The internal batteries charge to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours. However, Eaton recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after installation or long-term storage. Starting the UPS on Battery Before using this feature, the UPS must have been powered by utility power with output enabled at least once.
5. Operation Operating modes The Eaton 9PX front panel indicates the UPS status through the UPS indicators, see page 14. Online mode During Online mode, the indicator illuminates solid and the UPS is powered from the utility. The UPS monitors and charges the batteries as needed and provides filtered power protection to your equipment. Optional High Efficiency and Energy Saving settings minimize heat contribution to the rack environment. See user settings on page 14.
Bypass voltage monitoring: if Bypass quality is not in tolerance, then the UPS will remain in Online mode. Eaton recommends to use the HE mode only to protect I/T equipment. To set the High Efficiency mode: 1. Put the UPS on Bypass: press any button to activate the menu options, select Control and Go to Bypass.
5. Operation Retrieving the Event log To retrieve the Event log through the display: 1. Press any button to activate the menu options, then select Event log. 2. Scroll through the listed events. Retrieving the Fault log To retrieve the Fault log through the display: 1.
RS232 or USB communication port on the UPS. The UPS can now communicate with EATON power management software. • Relay output contacts The UPS incorporates four relay outputs; each information is available with a close or open contact. n.c.

6. Communication • Remote On/Off Remote On/Off allows remote action of button to switch On/Off the UPS. Normally open When contact changes from open to closed, the UPS is switched-on (or stays On). When contact changes from closed to open, the UPS is switched-off (or stays Off). On/Off control via button has priority over the remote control.
6. Communication Remote control connection and test 1. Check the UPS is shut down and the electrical supply network disconnected. 2. Remove RPO connector from the UPS by unfitting the screws. 3. Connect a normally closed volt-free contact between the two pins of connector. Contact open: shut down of UPS To return to normal operation, deactivate the external remote shut down contact and restart the UPS from the front panel.
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 UPS battery power becomes low, Eaton Software suite can automatically shut down your computer system to protect your data before the UPS shutdown occurs.
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. Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label.
7. UPS maintenance Replacing batteries DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode. Batteries can be replaced easily without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. If you prefer to remove input power to change the batteries, see "UPS Shutdown" on page 25. Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.
