The twelve-slot UPS cabinet can accommodate a maximum of six power modules and two battery modules per
slot in the remaining six slots. However, if a customer chooses to only have one power module they can install
two battery modules per slot in the remaining eleven slots. The eight-slot cabinet can accommodate the same
configuration with two less total units each. Both UPS cabinet models allow their output to be limited such that
an excess number of power modules allow the failure of one or more modules without causing the UPS to lose
any functionality. Optional super charger modules can be installed in the power module slots.
The power modules can be removed and replaced (easily replaceable) without powering the UPS down if the
UPS has sufficient redundant capacity. Battery modules (2 battery modules per slot) may also be easily
replaced for maintenance. Power control circuitry in the cabinet senses problems in power modules, and
automatically transfers control and load to the remaining power modules. Battery modules and Power modules
are accessed through removable front panels.
All power modules share the load requirements equally. For example, three power modules are capable of
supplying a total of 12 kVA. If a load requires only 6 kVA, each power module supplies 2 kVA to the output.
If one power module is removed or for some reason fails, each of the two remaining power modules would
supply half of the load, or 3 kVA. In other words, redundancy exists when the load can be supplied by less than
all of the installed power modules.
To permit UPS removal from the power path while maintaining power to the loads, an external bypass switch
This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation and maintenance of the
UPS and batteries. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future
reference.

NOTE 1 If you are installing an optional super charger module in the UPS, then it is the same as a
power module with the proper input circuit breaker sizes and ratings.
NOTE 2 To accommodate the feature of easy system expandability, it is recommended that
initial installation of the Eaton 9PXM UPS contains wiring to support the maximum
capacity of the UPS cabinet of 20kVA for 12-slot and 16-kVA for 8-slot cabinets.
NOTE 3 The 9PXM is limited to an input current of 125A. In the event an additional charging
module has been employed in conjunction with the maximum allotted number of power
modules, no additional input ampacity will be required.
See Table 2 for recommended conductor sizes to wire the input circuit breakers.
! IMPORTANT
• Table 2 lists the mm2 and AWG wire size for each circuit breaker size shown on the wiring diagrams. The
minimum recommended circuit breaker sizes for each model and voltage application are listed on the
wiring diagrams.
• Conductor sizes shall be no smaller than the 75°C wire size based on the ampacities given in Table 310.15
(B)(16) of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), ANSI/NFPA 70-2017, and article 220. All circuit
conductors, including the neutral conductor, must be the same size (ampacity) wire. Code may require a
larger AWG size than shown in this table because of temperature, number of conductors in the conduit, or
long service runs. Follow local code requirements.

Bypass Overview
CAUTION
Failure to understand the correct bypass sequence and position may cause the critical load to be dropped. Do
not operate the bypsass switch if the UPS is in battery mode. Damage to the power modules or the bypass
switch can occur.
NOTE 1 If the UPS remains in Manual Bypass mode and incoming AC power is lost, the load is
automatically dropped. The UPS must be in Normal mode to provide battery backup
power.
NOTE 2 In the UPS or LINE position, AC input power is still connected to the input terminals
inside the UPS.
NOTE 3 If you have any questions or problems with the bypass operation, call the Help Desk
(see , “11.2 Service and Support ” ).
The BPM consists of a load position handle and a red button (see Figure 26 ).
Bypass switch
handle
Interlock Button (red)
When the red button is pressed, the UPS front panel displays “Manual Bypass.” To move the MBP switch
handle from one position to another, the red button must be pressed WHILE the handle is being rotated.
Otherwise, the switch will be damaged.
The bypass switch has three positions as described in Table 3 .
NOTE In the UPS or LINE position, AC input power is still connected to the input terminals
inside the UPS.
LINE When the switch is in the LINE position, utility power is directly connected to the
critical load and the output of the UPS is disconnected. In this state the UPS remains
powered, which is often beneficial for troubleshooting, obtaining logs, or updating
firmware.
UPS The normal operating state of the system occurs when the BPM switch is in the UPS
position. Utility power is fed to the bypass, where power is then fed to the UPS. The
UPS provides critical battery backup and power conditioning and power is then fed
back to the bypass switch and then the critical load.
Service Like the LINE position, the SERVICE position connects the load directly to AC input
power and disconnects UPS output; however, because SERVICE also disconnects AC
input from the UPS, this is the appropriate position for UPS maintenance or repair. In
the SERVICE position, the UPS can be completely removed from the system.
NOTE Pressing the red button sends the UPS into Internal Bypass mode. This allows the UPS
output to synchronize with utility for safe, uninterrupted transfer.
The UPS is now in LINE mode. The critical load is fed directly from utility and the UPS remains energized
from utility power. The UPS may be left in this mode while trying to troubleshoot, gather alarms from the
UPS, or perform other preventative maintenance activities.

UPS
2. Turn the switch from LINE to SERVICE (see Figure 28 ). The critical load is fed directly from utility and the
UPS is now completely disconnected from AC power. Ensure that the UPS is off and the terminals are
completely de-energized before performing any maintenance on the UPS.

3.8 Lock-out/Tag-out
The BPM comes with a Lock-out/Tag-out (LOTO) feature to keep the BPM bypass switch locked in SERVICE
mode while qualified service personnel works on the UPS. To use the LOTO feature:
1. Press and hold the red bar (See Figure 29 ).
2. Install a lock and tag in any opening at the base of the switch according to LOTO procedures.
3. Remove the lock and tag to reset the LOTO position.
WARNING
It is critical that the following steps are followed to ensure correct and safe operation.
Rotate switch
to LINE position
2. To transition the UPS from LINE to UPS, press and hold the red button and turn the switch to UPS (see
Figure 31 ).
NOTE 1 Pressing the red button sends the UPS into Internal Bypass mode. This allows the UPS
output to synchronize with utility for safe, uninterrupted transfer.
NOTE 2 In UPS mode, the UPS resets from Internal Bypass to UPS Normal mode (online mode).
This transition may take as long as 60 seconds.

3. Once the switch is in UPS mode and the UPS is in Normal mode (online mode), the system is in normal
operation and prepared to provide uninterrupted power to the critical load.
After turning the load position handle to the UPS position and releasing the red button, if the Eaton 9PXM
UPS remains in Bypass mode, return the UPS to Normal mode using the following procedure for proper
operation:
NOTE 1 If the UPS remains in Manual Bypass mode and incoming AC power is lost, the load is
automatically dropped. The UPS must be in Normal mode to provide battery backup
power.
NOTE 2 If you have any questions or problems with the bypass operation, call the Help Desk at
one of the telephone numbers in 11.2 Service and Support and ask for a UPS technical
representative.
• Press the button on the front panel display. The main menu screen appears (see ).
• Press the button to select Control.
• Press the button. Control menu displays.
• Press the button to select Go back normal.
• Press the button to select Yes and press to return to normal (UPS) mode.
• Press ESC twice to return to the Status Menu. The UPS is now in Normal mode.
NOTE 1 The UPS should transfer from internal bypass to normal operation after a period of one
minute automatically provided the Input signals are set correctly. See Figure 23 .
NOTE 2 To disconnect AC input power during maintenance or service, turn the bypass switch to
the SERVICE position.
NOTE 3 Table 4 shows the bypass switch models available for the Eaton 9PXM UPS.
If a bypass switch is not used, the UPS input may be hardwired through conduit to a main power source circuit
breaker, and the UPS output may either be hardwired to a circuit breaker in a distribution panel (as shown in
Figure 31) or supplied to loads through optional receptacles on the back of the UPS. Without a bypass switch,
power to the load cannot be maintained if the UPS is taken completely offline.

5. The system signals an alarm when the required output cannot be maintained with the loss of redundant
power modules. The alarm is essentially disabled with a redundancy level set at 0.
6. Optional. If you want the system to notify you when the number of redundant power modules is less than
a specified level, enter a redundancy level. Each increment above 0 indicates the number of modules that
can be removed from operation before the alarm occurs. This setting affects only the alarm; the system
continues to operate as an N+X system even if this parameter is left at the default value of 0 (see also
Figure 65 ).

3. Verify that the power-on symbol shows on the UPS status screen.
4. Press the button on the UPS front panel until a beep sounds.
5. Check the UPS front panel display for active alarms or notices. Resolve any active alarms before
continuing. See , “11.1 Troubleshooting ”. If the indicator is on, do not proceed until all alarms are
clear. Check the UPS status from the front panel to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and restart if
necessary.
6. Verify that the indicator illuminates solid, indicating that the UPS is operating normally and any loads
are powered and protected.
7. Make sure the UPS is in Online mode.
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.
Battery Mode
When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps once every ten seconds and the indicator
illuminates solid. The necessary energy is provided by the battery. When the utility power returns, the UPS
transfers to Online mode operation while the battery recharges.
Low-Battery Warning
CAUTION
If the low battery warning occurs, shutdown all applications on the connected equipment because automatic
UPS shutdown is imminent.
Bypass Mode
In the event of a UPS overload or internal failure, the UPS transfers your equipment to utility power. Battery
mode is not available and your equipment is not protected; however, the utility power continues to be passively
filtered by the UPS. The indicator illuminates. Depending on overload conditions, the UPS remains in
Bypass mode for at least 5 seconds and will stay in this mode if three transfers to bypass occur within one
hour.
The UPS transfers to Bypass mode when:
• User or Service activates Bypass mode through the front panel LCD or by using an external bypass switch
(BPM or BPE).
• Overload between 105 and 110% for more than 30 seconds
• Overload above 115% for more than 200 msecs
• Output Short
• Hardware fault
• Over Temperature on heatsinks
NOTE 2 NOTE The UPS shuts down after a specified delay for overload conditions listed above.
In High Efficiency mode, the UPS transfers to Online (or Battery) mode in less than 10 ms when utility fails.
Transfers to High Efficiency mode will be active after 5 minutes of Bypass voltage monitoring: if Bypass quality
is not in tolerance, then the UPS will remain in Online mode.
NOTE If the input is not stable after enabling HE Mode, the UPS will monitor the input for 5
minutes but if it is stable to begin with, it will transfer immediately.
CAUTION
Changing the Bypass settings changes UPS behavior and may result in decreased protection.
The default disables a transfer to Bypass if the measured bypass voltage level is above the nominal output
voltage +12%. You can configure the setting for another voltage value. This setting can be overruled by the
“Protected Bypass” setting.
When Qualify Bypass is set to “Always” or “Always on Fault” you can select the interruption time when
transferring to bypass, default setting is “Half Cycle” but can be changed to “Full cycle”.
NOTE It is not recommended to perform a battery discharge test more often than 90 days.
NOTE Battery mode is not displayed and battery low alarm does not activate during a battery
test.
The battery test may be postponed due to bad conditions, or failed if battery is not ok.

Maintenance Bypass: The signal from an external bypass switch, to isolate the Eaton 9PXM system for
maintenance purposes, tells the UPS to go into Internal Bypass mode.
On Generator: The signal allows the UPS to optimize its operation with the generator by transferring the UPS
from High Efficiency mode to Normal (double conversion) mode as long as High Efficiency is set as the default
mode of UPS operation. See IN/Out setting.
1 Low Battery Alarm Pin 1 shifts from RS-232 Low (negative voltage) to RS-232 High (positive
voltage) and remains high whenever the UPS enters a Low Battery alarm
state.
2 RS-232 Transmit Data Sends outgoing RS-232 communication data at 9600 baud, 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit.
3 RS-232 Receive Data/ RS-232 Receive Data Function. Receives incoming RS-232 communication
RS-232 Shutdown data at 9600 baud,8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
RS-232 Shutdown Function. If Pin 3 receives an RS-232 Low signal (+Vdc)
for at least 5 seconds, but not more than 7 seconds, during an AC Failure
condition, the UPS output shuts off following a delay of 120 seconds (±5
seconds).
4 Reserved Loopback to Pin 6
5 Common Signal Ground
8 AC Fail Signal Pin 8 shifts from RS-232 Low (positive voltage) to RS-232 High (positive
(On-Battery) voltage) and remains high for 15 seconds (±1 second) after the UPS
detects an AC Failure condition, assuming the condition still exists after
the 15 seconds.
When the AC Failure condition no longer exists, the signal returns to the
RS-232 Low state (positive voltage).
9 No Connection/ The UPS is factory-set with Pin 9 disconnected, but can be enabled
DC Supply Voltage through a technician-replaceable jumper inside the UPS. The jumper
setting MUST be changed by a qualified service technician.
When enabled, Pin 9 provides supply voltage for use with external
connectivity devices requiring DC power directly from the UPS DB-9 port
(nominal 12 Vdc/5W; 8V minimum, 24V maximum). Use only Eaton brand
connectivity devices.
The Eaton Network Card-M2 allows an Eaton UPS to directly connect to the Ethernet network and the Internet,
supporting real-time monitoring and control of UPSs across the network via a standard Web browser, SNMP-
compliant network management system or power management software. Environmental monitoring is also
possible via an Environmental Monitor Probe (EMP)
Relay Card—MS
The Eaton Relay Card-MS enables automatic shutdown and network monitoring of UPS system status through
a connected computer with a dedicated adapter that provides the essential dry-contact interface between an
Eaton UPS and any relay-connected computer as well as a variety of industrial applications. The Relay Card-MS
is compatible with all Eaton UPSs that have a Minislot.
NOTE 2 Eaton recommends that you schedule preventive maintenance checks at least every six
months.
The Eaton 9PXM system is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Its internal control system
checks the batteries and inverter periodically to ensure reliable operation.
The Eaton 9PXM UPS and optional external battery cabinets do require some attention to assure continued
reliable service. Follow Eaton's recommended maintenance schedule, which includes:
NOTE 1 When the red button is released, the UPS remains in its internal Bypass mode.
NOTE 2 Return the UPS to Auto mode by selecting that mode on the front panel display.
NOTE The Eaton 9PXM UPS will operate with uncharged (or no) batteries, but will have limited
(or no) battery backup capability. The UPS will indicate an alarm with a insufficient
number of batteries present. One battery string (two battery modules) must be installed
adjacent to each power module.
The cover has magnetic latches on the left and right sides that hold it in place.
2. Loosen the captive screw on the retaining bracket and slowly pull the upper battery module out of the
cabinet.
3. Repeat the procedure with the lower battery module.
4. Treat the original and replacement battery modules with care to avoid damaging connectors or internal
circuitry. Label the original batteries with masking tape or some other identifier. Record the serial number
of the replacement modules for your warranty.
5. Insert the replacement battery modules by sliding the lower module carefully into the cabinet. Repeat for
the upper replacement module.
6. Reinstall the retaining bracket and tighten the captive screw.
7. Replace the front cover.

Front Covers Modules
NOTE The UPS may switch to internal Bypass mode if the remaining power modules are
insufficient to supply the required power. If empty slots exist, install replacement
modules before removing original ones.
Use care in removing and installing power modules. To remove a power module:
1. Remove the front cover.
The cover has magnetic latches on the left and right sides that hold it in place.
2. Loosen the captive screws at the sides of the power module and slowly pull the power module out of the
cabinet.
3. Treat the original and replacement power modules with care to avoid damaging connectors or internal
circuitry. Label the original power modules with masking tape or some other identifier. Record the serial
