5PX G2 UPS control display with LED status bar
You can add up to 4 EBMs for extra runtime for both rack-mount and tower 5PX G2 UPS configurations.
EBM options:
No. Most customers prefer to put the external battery modules next to the 5PX G2 UPS, but it is not necessary. Eaton does provide 10-foot 5PX G2 battery extension cable accessories in order for the EBM to be placed up to 2740mm (nine feet) away from the UPS.
There are several load management and energy saving features built into Eaton products, including the 5PX G2.
Load segments – these are outlet groups that are controllable and programmable through the front LCD menu or network card (NETWORK-M2, INDGW-M2). Segments can be programmed to turn off after a certain amount of time on battery, saving runtime for more critical equipment. Timing is manually programmed through the network card (NETWORK-M2, INDGW-M2). Additionally, load segments are often used to quickly cycle the power of a remote server or switch that is stuck, eliminating the need for a service call.
Virtual machine (VM) management – for applications with servers and virtualisation, Eaton can shut down VMs through IPM 2 software or even move VMs to other locations. This works much like load segmentation but is done virtually through the network. Read more for more about virtual machine shutdown through IPM 2.
Yes, UPS dispatch-in-rack option (UPS is installed in a server rack prior to being dispatched) is available for integration into packaged deployments simplifying set-up and getting you online quicker, available with the 4-post rail kit (part number RK4PRS).
