Operation

Start-up and normal operation

Check that the indications on the name plate located on the back of the UPS meets the AC power source and the true electrical consumption of the total load.

Battery charge
The UPS charges the battery as soon as it is connected to the AC outlet, whether the ON/OFF button is pressed or not. It is recommended that the UPS be permanently connected to the AC power supply to ensure the best possible autonomy.

To start the UPS:

  1. Verify that the UPS power cord is plugged in.
  2. There is a single buzzer indication.
  3. Press the button on the UPS front panel for a few seconds.
  4. Check the UPS front panel display for active alarms or notices. Resolve any active alarms before continuing; if the indicator illuminates in red, do not proceed until all alarms are clear (see “Troubleshooting” section). Check the UPS status from the front panel to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and restart if necessary.
  5. Verify that the indicator illuminates in green, indicating that the UPS is operating normally and any loads are powered and protected. The UPS should be in Normal mode.
  6. The UPS will make a first battery test, the will blink for a few seconds, this behaviour is normal

EATON-5E550- 5E-UPS-fig-12

Starting the UPS on battery

To start the UPS on battery:

  1. When the UPS is disconnected from the AC power source, press the button on the UPS front panel. The UPS transfers from Standby mode to Battery mode. The indicator blinks and the buzzer snoozes. The UPS supplies power to your equipment.
  2. Check the UPS front panel display for active alarms or notices besides the “Battery mode” and related notifications that indicate missing utility power. Resolve any active alarms before continuing. See “Troubleshooting”. Check the UPS status from the front panel to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and restart if necessary

UPS shutdown
To shut down the UPS:

  1. Press the button on the front panel for two seconds.UPS starts to beep and the indicator is blinking. The UPS then transfers to Standby mode, and the indicator turns off

Operating modes
The Eaton 5E front panel indicates the UPS status through the UPS LED indicator.

Normal mode
When the symbol is illuminated in green, the UPS is providing protected AC power output. The UPS charges the batteries and provides power protection to your equipment

Battery mode

When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps once every five seconds and the indicator illuminates blinking. 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. This warning is approximate, and the actual time to shut down may vary significantly; gracefully shut down all applications on connected equipment due to imminent UPS shutdown. When utility power is restored after the UPS shuts down, the UPS automatically restarts

Low-battery warning

  • The indicator blinks quickly.
  • The audio alarm beeps every 1.5 seconds.
  • The remaining battery power is low. Shut down all applications on the connected equipment because automatic UPS shutdown is imminent

End of battery backup time

  • All the LEDs go OFF.
  • The audible alarm stops.

Return of AC input power

Following an outage, the UPS restarts automatically when AC input power returns(unless the UPS is not shut down by backup end) and the load is supplied again.

UPS maintenance

Equipment care

  • For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the equipment clean and dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner.
  • For full battery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).
  • The batteries are rated for a 3-5 year service life. The length of service life varies, depending on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature (life divided by 2 each 10 °C above 25 °C).
  • If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is turned off.
  • Batteries used beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced runtimes. Replace batteries at least every 4 years to keep units running at peak performance.
  • Batteries runtime will be reduced at low temperatures (below 10 °C).

Storing the equipment

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. If the date has passed and the batteries were never recharged, do not use them. Contact your service representative.

Recycling the used equipment

Contact your local recycling or hazardous waste centre for information on the proper disposal of the used equipment. eaton.com/recycling

  • Do not dispose of the battery or batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode. Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
  • Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolytes are harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. Do not discard the UPS or the UPS batteries in the trash. This product contains sealed, lead acid batteries and must be disposed of properly.
  • For more information, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous waste centre.
  • Do not discard waste electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) in the trash. For proper disposal, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous waste centre.

Troubleshooting

The Eaton 5E is designed for reliable, autonomous operation while providing you with notifications and alerts whenever a potential operational or performance issue occurs. Usually, the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert the user.

  • Events are silent status information that is recorded into the Event log. Example = “AC freq in range”.
  • Alarms are recorded in the Event log and displayed on the LCD status screen with the logo blinking. Some alarms may be announced by a beep every 3 seconds. Example = “Battery low”.
  • Faults are announced by a continuous beep and red LED, recorded into the Fault log and displayed on the LCD with a specific message box. Example = Out. short circuit.

Use the following troubleshooting chart to determine the UPS alarm condition.
