Battery disposal and safety
Caution. Battery service life is reduced by 50 % for every ten degrees
above 25 °C.
The battery elements must be replaced exclusively by qualified personnel (risk
of electrocution), with new elements approved by EATON to ensure correct
operation of the UPS.
The battery must be disposed of in accordance
with applicable regulations. To remove the battery elements, shut down the UPS
(button 12 OFF), remove the power cord and proceed as indicated in page 4
“Battery change”.

Technical characteristics
Operating conditions
-
This product is an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for computers and their peripherals, television sets, stereo systems and video recorders… It must not be used to supply other electrical equipment (lighting, heating, household appliances, etc.).
-
UPS can be installed in horizontal, vertical position, or placed in Rack 2U (optional kit).
UPS connections -
Connect the UPS 1 to the AC-power system via a wall outlet with an earth connector, using the supplied cord 4 for a UPS with FR/DIN sockets or with the supply cord of your computer for a UPS with IEC sockets (see figure A).
-
Plug critical equipment (computer, monitor, modem, etc.) into the outlets 9 providing battery backup power and surge protection (see figure B), taking care not to exceed the rated current indicated in amperes.
-
Other devices (printer, scanner, fax, etc.) can be connect to the filtered outlets 8 that provide surge protection (see figure B). The filtered outlets are not backed up by battery power in the event of a power outage.
-
Optional Internet modem / Network connection: A modem or Ethernet data line can be protected against surges by connecting it via the UPS. Connect the existing device cable between the wall outlet and the UPS, and use a similar cable between the UPS and the device, as indicated in figure C (cable not supplied).
-
Optional USB connection:
The UPS device can be connected to the computer using the USB cable 5 supplied. The software is available on the CD-ROM 5 or downloadable from powerquality.eaton.com (see figures D and F). Register for the warranty on powerquality.eaton.com.
Master and EcoControl outlets operating procedure
In order to limit energy consumption of peripherals (scanner, printer) in standby mode, the Ellipse ECO is equipped with EcoControl outlets that are dependent on the Master outlet. When the main application supplied by the Master outlet (computer) is shut down, the EcoControl outlets are automatically deactivated and the peripherals shut down.
This function (deactivated by default) is validated and configured using the configuration tool integrated in the software.
Note: When the function is activated, do not connect critical applications to EcoControl outlets.
Threshold setup
A default setup ensures the correct operation of the EcoControl function. However, depending on the consumption of the main load, the trigger threshold of the EcoControl function may have to be modified using the configuration software supplied with the UPS: -
First, make sure that the function is activated in the “EcoControl Function” tab of the configuration tool.
-
If the peripherals connected to the EcoControl outlets do not switch off when the main load is not in normal operation (ex: when in standby mode), the detection threshold value must be set to High.
-
If the rated consumption level of the main load is low and the EcoControl outlets shut down when the main load is operating normally, the detection threshold value must be set to Low.
Operation
8 : Filtered outlets.
9 : Battery backup outlets.
10 : LED ON indicate that surge protection is active.
11 : LED ON indicate a UPS fault.
12 : ON/OFF button for the battery backup outlets.
13 : Protection circuit breaker.
Battery charge: The UPS
charges the battery as soon as it is connected to the AC outlet, whether
button 12 is pressed or not. When used for the first time, the battery will
only provide its maximum autonomy after it has been charged for 8 hours. It is
recommended that the UPS be permanently connected to the AC power supply to
ensure the best possible autonomy.
- Switching-on the UPS: press button 12 for about 1 second.
- Filtered outlets 8 without battery backup: Equipment connected to these outlets is supplied as soon as the AC cord 4 is plugged in. They are not affected by button 12 .
- Battery backup outlets 9 : Equipment connected to these outlets is supplied as soon as button 12 turns green (see figure E). These outlets can be turned on even if the UPS is not connected to AC power (button 12 flashes).
- AC-power disturbance: If AC power is disturbed or fails, the UPS continues to operate on battery power. Button 12 flashes green. In normal mode, the audio alarm beeps every ten seconds, then every three seconds when the end of battery backup time is near. In silent mode (see the section on settings), the audio alarm simply beeps once when the UPS transfers to battery power.
- If the power outage lasts longer than the battery backup time, the UPS shuts down and automatically restarts when power is restored. Following a complete discharge, a few hours are required to recharge the battery back to full backup time.
- To save battery power, it is possible to press button 12 to cut the supply of power to the devices connected to the battery backup outlets.
- Lightning protection: All outlets, whether backed up or simply filtered, include surge protection, whatever the position of button 12 .
- Shutdown of the battery backup outlets 9 : Press button 12 for more than two seconds.
