Does the 5PX G2 UPS have fans?
When the 5PX G2 UPS is plugged in and connected to utility power, the UPS will charge the batteries according to the ABM charging technology. However, Eaton recommends recharging the 5PX G2 UPS every six months to prevent batteries from being damaged through self-discharge during storage. Charging time should be 48 hours in an ideal case with a minimum recommended time of 24 hours. Plugging in the 5PX G2 UPS to the local utility power is usually the easiest method for recharging the batteries and the 5PX G2 will automatically begin charging the batteries once the unit is plugged in.
You can add up to 4 EBMs for extra runtime for both rackmount 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 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-M3, 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-M3, 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 virtualization, Eaton can shutdown 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.
The Remote On Off (ROO) functionality of the 5PX G2 is an ideal solution to turn the UPS on and off without direct human intervention, particularly in OEM or industrial control applications. The ROO feature acts much like a Remote Power Off (RPO) feature. However, the UPS will automatically restart when the external relay returns to its normally state. The ROO is programmed through the front LCD menu and can be set as either normally open or normally closed.
Yes, UPS ship-in-rack option (UPS is installed in a server rack prior to shipment) 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).
