Chapter 3 Understanding UPS Operation  
The UPS functions automatically to supply AC electrical power to the critical load. The UPS  
always operates in one of three modes:  
Ī In Normal mode, the critical load is supplied by the inverter, which derives its power  
from rectified utility AC power. In this mode, the rectifier also provides charging current  
for the battery.  
Ī In Bypass mode, the critical load is directly supported by utility power.  
Ī In Battery mode, the battery cabinet provides DC power, which maintains inverter  
operation. The battery supports the critical load.  
The UPS continually monitors itself and the incoming utility power, and automatically  
switches between these modes as required, with no operator intervention. The  
sophisticated detection and switching logic inside the UPS ensures that operating mode  
changes are automatic and transparent to the critical load. The UPS switches operating  
modes in response to these system events:  
Ī A command is an intervention that is externally initiated by an operator or by some site  
action. A command causes the UPS to switch operating modes; it usually does not  
require any further action by you.  
Ī A notice is a minor system event that may or may not require your attention.  
Ī An alarm is a system event that requires immediate operator intervention.  
System events, alarm horns, and indicator lights are described in Chapter 10, “Responding  
to System Events.”  
3.1 Normal Mode  
In Normal mode, utility AC power is supplied to the rectifier. The rectifier supplies DC  
power to the inverter, which then supplies the critical load with AC power. The rectifier  
also provides charging power to the battery. The battery charge condition is monitored by  
the UPS and reported by a status indicator on the Monitor Panel. The message “System  
Normal” appears in the status area of the LCD screen.  
Figure 3-1 shows the path of electrical power through the UPS system when the UPS is  
operating in Normal mode.

If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPS automatically  
switches to Battery mode to support the critical load with no interruption. When utility  
power returns, the UPS returns to Normal mode.  
If the UPS system becomes overloaded, the UPS switches to Bypass mode. The UPS  
automatically returns to Normal mode when the error condition is cleared and system  
operation is restored within specified limits.  
If the UPS suffers an internal failure, it switches automatically to Bypass mode and remains  
in that mode until the failure is corrected and the UPS is back in service.

3.2 Bypass Mode  
The UPS automatically switches to Bypass mode if it detects an overload, load fault, or  
internal failure. The bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to the load directly.  
C A U T I O N  
The critical load is not protected while the UPS is in Bypass mode.

Figure 3-2. Path of Current Through the UPS in Bypass Mode  
You can transfer the UPS from Normal mode to Bypass mode manually. However, the UPS  
switches automatically to Bypass mode whenever the inverter can no longer supply the  
critical load. If the UPS transfers to Bypass mode from Normal mode due to any reason  
other than operator intervention, the UPS automatically attempts to transfer back to  
Normal mode (up to three times within a 10-minute period). The fourth transfer will lock  
the critical load on the bypass source and requires operator intervention to transfer.  
Bypass mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. However, if the UPS  
is unable to return to Normal mode following an automatic transfer to Bypass mode, an  
alarm condition is recorded.

Understanding UPS Operation  
3.3 Battery Mode  
The UPS transfers to Battery mode automatically if a utility power outage occurs, or if the  
utility power does not conform to specified parameters. In Battery mode, the battery  
provides emergency DC power that the inverter converts to AC power. When the UPS  
switches to Battery mode, the alarm indications depend on the cause and condition of the  
battery charge. The length of time the system can operate in Battery mode depends on  
load configuration and the battery charge.

When the discharging battery voltage reaches the lower limit of UPS operation capability,  
the critical load transfers to Bypass mode if it is available. If Bypass input is not available, a  
“Shutdown Imminent” warning occurs. The warning time before critical load loss occurs is  
approximately two minutes, depending on load configuration and the battery charge.  
If incoming power returns to within specified parameters, the UPS automatically returns to  
Normal mode and alarm indications clear. However, the process of returning to Normal  
mode is not instantaneous. The rectifier gradually draws increasing power from the  
incoming utility until Normal mode is achieved.

The following describes the switches on the Control Panel (see Figure 4-1):  
Ī The MODE switch is a two-position rotary switch that controls the manual transfer of the  
UPS to and from Bypass mode. The MODE switch is used to:  
- Place the critical load in Bypass mode when the UPS is operating in Normal mode and  
the bypass source is within acceptable limits. If the transfer does not occur within two  
seconds, an alarm sounds.  
- Prevent transfer to Normal mode when the UPS is in Bypass mode.  
- Shut down the power processing unit (inverter and rectifier) of the UPS.  
Ī The BATTERY switch is a two-position rotary switch that allows you to manually shunt  
trip the battery breakers in remote cabinets.  
Ī The circuit breaker (CB1) switch controls the operation of the rectifier and inverter. If  
CB1 is on (closed), the rectifier turns on when the START switch is activated and the  
proper voltage is at the input terminals.  
Ī The PUSH TO RESET button is described in “Resetting the UPS System after Load Off” on  
page 11-2.  
Ī The START switch activates the power controls on the Control Panel. The START switch  
is center-biased (the key will rest only in the upright position). Its operation is similar to  
that of an automobile ignition switch. After setting the operator controls, you turn the  
START switch to the right momentarily to activate the controls. When you release it, it  
returns to the upright position.  
The following sections describe how to operate these controls to start, stop, or change the  
operating mode of the UPS.  
4.1.1 To Place the UPS in Normal Mode  
1. Close the Input Power Feeder breaker.  
2. Verify that the Load Off PUSH TO RESET button is pressed in.  
3. Turn the BATTERY switch to NORMAL.  
4. Turn the MODE switch to NORMAL.  
5. Move the CB1 switch to ON.  
6. Turn the START switch to the right momentarily.  
The rectifier turns on, then the inverter turns on. The UPS display and alarm alert  
you to close the battery breaker.  
7. Close the battery breaker(s).

Starting and Stopping the UPS  
When the inverter reaches full voltage, it turns on and supplies power to the  
critical load. It takes less than one minute for the UPS to achieve Normal mode.  
If a bypass source is available when you turn the START switch on, the critical load  
is immediately supplied by the bypass source in Bypass mode until the inverter  
turns on and the UPS transfers to Normal mode. The status indicators on the  
Monitor Panel indicate when the UPS is in Bypass mode or Normal mode as  
appropriate.  
4.1.2 To Shut Down the UPS from Normal Mode  
1. Turn the MODE switch to BYPASS.  
The UPS switches to Bypass mode. If the bypass source is not available, the power  
processor remains on and an alarm sounds.  
2. When the transfer is complete (the LCD screen reads “On Bypass”), move the CB1  
switch to OFF.  
The bypass source supplies the critical load and the power processor de-energizes.  
The Bypass mode indicator illuminates on the Monitor Panel.  
4.1.3 To Start the UPS in Bypass Mode  
If the PPU of the UPS is not available and you need to energize the critical load right away,  
you can energize the critical load without the benefit of backup. To turn the UPS on in  
Bypass mode:  
1. Turn the MODE switch to BYPASS. (The remaining switches can be in any position.)  
2. Turn the START switch to the right momentarily.  
Power to the critical load is supplied by the bypass source. No backup is available.  
4.1.4 To Shut Down Power to the Critical Load While in Bypass Mode  
To perform maintenance or service on the critical load, you must shut it down first:  
1. Turn off all equipment that is being powered through the UPS.  
2. Press the LOAD OFF button on the Monitor Panel.

Indicator  
Symbol  
Indicator  
Name  
Description  
Normal  
This green symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Normal mode.  
The PPU is supplying power to the critical load.  
Battery  
This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Battery mode.  
Because Battery mode is a normal condition of the UPS, the Normal  
indicator also remains lit.  
Bypass  
Notice  
This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Bypass mode.  
The critical load is supported by the bypass source. The Normal  
indicator is not lit when the system is in Bypass mode.  
This yellow symbol is lit when the system needs attention. The LCD  
screen shows all active notices. Some notices may be accompanied by  
an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the and buttons  
simultaneously. The Notice indicator may be lit along with other  
indicators.  
Alarm  
This red symbol is lit when a situation requires immediate attention.  
The LCD screen shows the highest priority active alarms. All alarms are  
accompanied by an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the  
and buttons simultaneously. The Alarm indicator may be lit along  
with other indicators.  
Standby  
This yellow symbol is lit when electricity is present in the PPU of the  
UPS and the Normal indicator is not lit. During normal startup, this  
indicator illuminates until the the UPS transfers to Normal mode, at  
which point the Normal indicator is lit. During normal shutdown, the  
Standby indicator is lit until all energy in the UPS is dissipated and  
shutdown is complete.  
For more information about audible horns, see “System Event Horns” on page 10-1.  
To test the LEDs behind the status indicators, press the and buttons simultaneously

Figure 6-2. Summary Alarm Contacts  
You can specify that each contact be either normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO). If  
the state of the contact changes from the state you specify as normal, an alarm is issued.  
You can connect these contacts to equipment at your facility (such as a light or an alarm  
bell) to let you know when an alarm is active on the UPS. This feature is useful if the UPS is  
located in a remote area where the UPS alarm horn may not be heard immediately.  
C A U T I O N  
Contacts should not be operated in excess of 30 Vac or 42.4V peak AC or DC @ 1A maximum.

The RMP contains a local horn and the following backlit status indicators:  
SYSTEM NORMAL  
The UPS is energized (either with utility power or battery  
backup) and is supplying conditioned power to the critical  
load.  
NO REDUNDANCY  
This indicator applies only to parallel systems when one  
cabinet is not functioning. This feature is not available on this  
system.  
ON GENERATOR  
This alarm means that the UPS input and bypass are being sup-  
plied by the power from the generator, instead of from the utility  
power.  
ON BYPASS  
The bypass source is supplying the critical load. Usually this  
means that the UPS is not energized. The load is not protected  
in Bypass mode, and a horn sounds after 30 seconds.  
UPS ALARM  
The UPS system is issuing an alarm. Conditions that affect the  
current UPS mode are indicated by the indicators and horn on  
the UPS.  
ON BATTERY  
The UPS battery backup is supplying the critical load. The  
utility power is either interrupted or out of specification. The  
SYSTEM NORMAL indicator is also lit.  
BYPASS UNAVAILABLE  
The UPS system is in Normal mode, but a bypass source is not  
within specification. A horn sounds after 30 seconds.  
SHUTDOWN IMMINENT  
The UPS is preparing to shut down because the UPS is in  
Battery mode and the DC voltage is approaching its low limit.  
This indicator is accompanied by a horn.

6.4 Battery Cabinets  
You can enhance the protection time provided by your UPS by adding one or more battery  
cabinets. The battery cabinets provided by the UPS manufacturer are equipped with sealed  
lead-acid, maintenance-free batteries in a cabinet that matches the UPS. Each battery  
cabinet contains a battery circuit breaker. Several battery capacities are available.  
The UPS battery cabinets can be paralleled. With this capability, you can increase your  
battery backup time by adding battery cabinets to your UPS system. The Powerware 9315  
can support up to four battery cabinets.  
6.5 External Battery Disconnect  
A breaker is located inside each battery cabinet supplied by the UPS manufacturer.  
However, due to space limitations, your battery cabinets may not be located in the same  
area as your UPS. An optional external DC circuit breaker provides a manual means of  
disconnecting a battery that is located remotely from the UPS. The circuit breaker is  
enclosed in a wall-mounted box. You can install it anywhere between the remote DC  
supply and the UPS, according to national and local codes.  
The breaker switch should be set to ON for normal UPS operation when DC power is  
available at the UPS. When service personnel are performing maintenance on the UPS or  
battery cabinet, the switch should be set to OFF.  
NOTE There is no DC disconnect device within the UPS.  
NOTE The DC input to the UPS is protected by internal fuses F21 and F22.  
NOTE The UPS DC disconnect trip signal from TB4, points 1 and 2 (shunt trip) or TB4,  
points 1 and 3 (UV trip) must be connected to the DC source disconnect device(s).

Chapter 7 Communication  
This chapter describes the communication features of the Powerware 9315 UPS and  
provides information about connecting hardware and using Terminal mode.  
7.1 Locating the Communication Bays  
The Communication Panel inside the UPS contains a DB-9 and DB-25 serial port. The DB-9  
port provides a computer interface to a Remote Monitor Panel, Relay Interface Module, or  
Supervisory Contact Module. The Communication Panel also contains terminals (TB1 and  
TB2) for connecting your equipment to the UPS.  
The X-Slot communication bay, used for optional X-Slot cards, allows the UPS to  
communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of devices.  
NOTE The X-Slot communication bay is connected internally to the DB-25 port by  
default; the DB-25 is disabled for other uses. Contact your Eaton service representative  
to purchase, install, and set up an external modem or an internal X-Slot Modem Card.  
Figure 7-1 shows the location of these items inside the UPS.

7.3 LanSafe Power Management Software  
Each Powerware 9315 UPS ships with LanSafe Power Management Software. To begin  
installing LanSafe software, see the instructions accompanying the Powerware Software  
Suite CD.  
LanSafe software uses an RS-232 serial link to communicate with the UPS, and it provides  
you with up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. It also gives  
you a complete record of critical power events, and it notifies you of important UPS or  
power information. With custom views for monitoring status and metering information,  
various user groups can select the most useful view for their specific needs.  
7.4 Connecting Equipment to a Serial Port  
You can connect a wide variety of terminals, printers, and computers to each port, and  
configure the UPS as the Data Communication Equipment (DCE). Set up the remote  
equipment using the appropriate parameters for the mode you select. The following  
section provides more information about configuration.  
The cables you use for connection depend on the equipment you are connecting to the  
UPS. Cables should be no longer than 16m (50 ft). The connectors for Port 1 and Port 2 on  
the Communication Panel in the UPS are female, so the cables should be male. Figure 7-3  
shows the pin assignments for Port 1, and Table 7-1 describes them. Figure 7-4 shows the  
pin assignments for Port 2, and Table 7-2 describes them.

Remote Monitor Mode  
Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be  
operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.  
7.5.2 Rate  
The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines the  
speed of data transferred between the UPS and the connected equipment. For Remote  
Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes should operate at the  
highest baud rate available with the connected equipment. 300 baud is not recommended  
for any mode except Remote Monitor.  
You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200.

Communication  
7.5.3 Data/Stop  
The data size and stop bits of the equipment connected to this port. These settings  
determine the number of bits transmitted per ASCII character. The data size and stop bits  
you specify depend on the configuration of your equipment.  
For Port 1, the data size must be set to 8, with 1 or 2 stop bits. Settings of 7 data  
bits/1 stop bit and 7 data bits/2 stop bits are available for Port 2.  
NOTE When connecting a computer running a terminal emulation program, you  
should set your equipment to NO PARITY.  
7.5.4 Handshaking  
This setting controls handshaking. You can select XON/XOFF or Disabled for this setting.  
7.5.4.1 Disabled (No Handshaking)  
If handshaking is disabled, the UPS transmits and receives data via the serial port, ignoring  
all inputs from handshaking lines.  
7.5.4.2 XON/XOFF  
If handshaking is enabled, the UPS uses special characters (XON and XOFF) to handshake  
with the host terminal. The XON character is defined to be ASCII value 11 hex, and the  
XOFF character is defined to be ASCII value 13 hex. Upon receiving an XOFF command, the  
UPS halts transmission until an XON command is received. In the same way, if the terminal  
receives an XOFF command, the UPS expects the terminal to halt transmission until the  
UPS sends an XON command.  
7.5.5 Save  
Set to YES to save any changes to configuration settings upon exit from the Setup screen.  
Set to NO if you do not want to save any changes.  
7.5.6 Default Settings

7.11 Remote Notification  
NOTE The X-Slot communication bay is connected internally to the DB-25 port by  
default; the DB-25 is disabled for other uses. Contact your Eaton service representative  
to purchase, install, and set up an external modem or an internal X-Slot Modem Card.  
NOTE Refer to the service documentation for detailed Remote Notification information.  
For connection and setup of a modem or to enable Remote Notify features within the UPS,  
please contact Powerware (see page 1-2).  
Remote Notification provides the UPS with the capability to use a standard off-the-shelf PC  
modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this option are as follows:  
Ī Call a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and alarms.  
Ī Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).  
Ī Automatic answering (user-configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of the UPS.  
Ī Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.  
Ī Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.  
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a  
remote location. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the UPS to perform basic  
monitoring. In the event of a UPS alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote  
location. The UPS calls through the modem to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a  
message.  
Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional support  
algorithms necessary to control an external modem. Connection to the UPS is made when  
a user calls the UPS on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a  
terminal connected directly to the UPS RS-232 port.  
Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the following  
functions:  
Ī Call Answer – The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the UPS from a  
remote location and enter Terminal mode.  
Ī Call Out – The Call Out function allows the UPS to be configured to call either a remote  
computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the UPS to call  
a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice  
condition. Numeric paging support allows the UPS to call a paging service and send  
numeric messages.  
Ī Housekeeping – The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and  
modem.

Chapter 8 Maintaining the UPS System  
W A R N I N G  
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery  
installation and maintenance. Risk of electrical shock.  
The components inside the UPS cabinet are secured to a sturdy metal frame that is  
supported by the UPS magnetics. This design allows authorized service personnel to  
remove repairable components with very little disassembly. All repairable parts and  
assemblies are located in the front of the UPS, allowing all routine maintenance and  
servicing to be performed with front panel access.  
You must schedule periodic performance checks of your UPS to keep it running properly.  
Regular routine checks of operation and system parameters will enable your UPS system to  
function efficiently for many trouble-free years.  
8.1 Important Safety Instructions  
Remember that your UPS is designed to supply power EVEN WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM  
THE UTILITY POWER. The UPS interior is unsafe until the DC power source is disconnected  
and the electrolytic capacitors are discharged. After disconnecting the utility power and  
the DC power, authorized service personnel should wait at least five minutes before  
attempting internal access to the UPS system.  
W A R N I N G  
Ī Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. The  
following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal  
objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of  
batteries.  
Ī ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or connectors.  
Attempting to alter wiring can cause injury.  
Ī Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the  
UPS.  
Ī LETHAL VOLTAGE PRESENT. This UPS should not be operated with the cabinet doors open  
or protective panels removed. Do not make any assumptions about the electrical state of  
any cabinet in the UPS system.  
Ī If the battery cabinet requiring service was not provided by the UPS manufacturer, refer to  
the battery cabinet manufacturer’s operating manual for instructions on battery cabinet  
installation and maintenance, or contact your Eaton service representative.

Chapter 10 Responding to System Events  
When the UPS system is running in Normal mode, it continually monitors itself and the  
incoming utility power. In Battery or Bypass modes, the UPS may issue alarms to let you  
know exactly what event caused the change from Normal mode. System events can be  
indicated by horns, lights on the UPS, or both.  
Select Active from the Events menu on the LCD screen to look at the Active System Events  
screen. This screen shows any currently active alarms, notices, or commands.  
10.1 System Event Horns  
The system event horn beeps according to the type of event it is signifying:  
Ī When the UPS detects an alarm that requires your attention, the horn beeps at  
½-second intervals.  
Ī When a notice occurs, the horn beeps at 2-second intervals.  
10.2 System Event Lights  
The status indicators on the UPS Monitor Panel work in conjunction with the event horn to  
let you know when the UPS is operating in any mode other than Normal. Only the Normal  
indicator is visible during normal UPS operation. The others light to indicate alarms or  
events. When an alarm occurs, you should first check these indicators to see what type of  
event has taken place. (For descriptions of the status indicators, see “Reading the Status  
Indicators” on page 5-4.)  
10.3 System Event Messages  
When a system event occurs, a message is added to the Event History Log. A message may  
also appear on the Monitor Panel of the UPS. The Event History Log contains all system  
event messages, whether or not they were displayed on the Monitor Panel.

Chapter 11 Using the LOAD OFF Button  
Load Off is initiated by the covered, red LOAD OFF button on the Monitor Panel. This  
button is protected by a clear plastic shield to prevent accidental activation. In an  
emergency, you can press this button to instantaneously open the input breaker and  
interrupt UPS output. The UPS is cut off from utility power, and the critical load is  
de-energized. All power to the critical load is lost. The UPS (including Bypass) remains  
locked off until you reset the LOAD OFF button.  
W A R N I N G  
All power to the critical load is lost when you press this button. You should use this feature  
only in an emergency or when you want to de-energize the critical load.  
To restart the UPS after pressing the LOAD OFF button, follow the procedure “Resetting  
the UPS System after Load Off” on page 11-2 before starting the UPS.  
NOTE The Remote Emergency Load Off option functions the same way as the LOAD  
OFF button on the Monitor Panel.  
11.1 Using the LOAD OFF Button  
1. Raise the clear plastic shield covering the red LOAD OFF button on the Monitor  
Panel.  
2. Press the LOAD OFF button.  
The breaker and contactors open (you can hear them opening). The CB1 switch  
trips, and the Load Off PUSH TO RESET button on the UPS Control Panel pops out.  
The UPS system shuts down.  
W A R N I N G  
Power is present inside the UPS cabinet until the upstream input feeder circuit breaker is  
opened.

11.2 Resetting the UPS System after Load Off  
C A U T I O N  
Do not attempt to restart the system after Load Off until the cause of the emergency has been  
identified and cleared.  
The Load Off PUSH TO RESET button is a small white button on the UPS Control Panel. The  
PUSH TO RESET button pops out and the CB1 switch trips when the LOAD OFF button on  
the Monitor Panel is activated.  
To reset the UPS system:  
1. Press the Load Off PUSH TO RESET button until it clicks in and remains recessed.  
2. Move the CB1 switch from the center (tripped) position to OFF. The switch should  
be difficult to move from the TRIPPED position.  
3. The UPS system is now reset. To restart the UPS system, follow the procedure in  
Chapter 4, “Starting and Stopping the UPS.”

LIMITED FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THREE-PHASE POWERWARE PRODUCTS  
WARRANTOR: The warrantor for the limited warranties set forth herein is Eaton Electrical Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Eaton”).  
LIMITED WARRANTY: This limited warranty (this “Warranty”) applies only to the original end-user (the “End-User”) of the Powerware  
Three-Phase UPS Products (the “Product”) and cannot be transferred. This Warranty applies even in the event that the Product is initially  
sold by Eaton for resale to an End-User.  
LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD: The period covered by this Warranty for Product installed [and currently located] in the fifty (50) United  
States and the District of Columbia is twelve (12) months from the date of Product start-up or eighteen (18) months from the date of  
Product shipment, whichever occurs first, for parts coverage and 90 days from the date of Product start-up for labor coverage. The  
period covered by this Warranty for Product installed [and currently located] outside of the fifty (50) United States and the District of  
Columbia is twelve (12) months from the date of Product start-up or eighteen (18) months from the date of Product shipment,  
whichever occurs first, for parts coverage.  
WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS: The warrantor warrants that the Powerware three-phase UPS electronics, Eaton-built  
accessories, and Powerware-built battery cabinets (individually and collectively, the ”Warranted Items”) are free from defects in material  
and workmanship. If, in the opinion of Eaton, a Warranted Item is defective and the defect is within the terms of this Warranty, Eaton’s  
sole obligation will be to repair or replace such defective item (including by providing service, parts, and labor, as applicable), at the  
option of Eaton. The Warranted Item will be repaired or replaced onsite at the End-User’s location or such other location as determined  
by Eaton. Any parts that are replaced may be new or reconditioned. All parts replaced by Eaton shall become the property of Eaton.  
WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: This Warranty does not cover any defects or damages caused by: (a) failure to  
properly store the Product before installation, including the ”trickle charge” of batteries no later than the date indicated on the  
packaging; (b) shipping and delivery of the Product if shipping is FOB Factory; (c) neglect, accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication,  
incorrect installation; (d) repair or alteration not authorized in writing by Eaton personnel or performed by an authorized Eaton  
Customer Service Engineer or Agent; or (e) improper testing, operation, maintenance, adjustment, or any modification of any kind not  
authorized in writing by Eaton personnel or performed by an authorized Eaton Customer Service Engineer or Agent.  
This Warranty is not valid: (a) unless an authorized Eaton Customer Service Engineer (in the USA) or Agent (outside of the USA) performs  
startup and commissioning of the Product; (b) if the Product is moved to a new location by someone other than an authorized Eaton  
Customer Service Engineer (in the USA) or Agent (outside of the USA); or (c) if the Product’s serial numbers have been removed or are  
illegible. Any Warranted Items repaired or replaced pursuant to this Warranty will be warranted for the remaining portion of the original  
Warranty subject to all the terms thereof. Labor warranty is not provided for Product located outside of the fifty (50) United States or  
the District of Columbia. Any equipment, parts, or materials included in the Product and not manufactured by Eaton are  
warranted solely by the manufacturer of such equipment, parts, or materials and are not included as part of this Warranty.  
Batteries are not warranted by Eaton.  
THIS WARRANTY IS THE END-USER’S SOLE REMEDY AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF, AND THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESSED OR  
IMPLIED GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY  
PURPOSE, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED).  
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: In no event shall Eaton be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages of any kind  
or type whatsoever, or based on any claim or cause of action, however denominated. Eaton shall not be responsible for failure to provide  
service or parts due to causes beyond Eaton’s reasonable control. In no case will Eaton’s liability under this Warranty exceed the  
replacement value of the Warranted Items.  
END-USER’S OBLIGATIONS: In order to receive the benefits of this Warranty, the End-User must use the Product in a normal way,  
follow the Product’s operation and maintenance manual, and protect against further damage to the Product if there is a covered defect.  
OTHER LIMITATIONS: Eaton’s obligations under this Warranty are expressly conditioned upon receipt by Eaton of all payments due to  
it (including interest charges, if any). During such time as Eaton has not received payment of any amount due to it for the Product, in  
accordance with the contract terms under which the Product is sold, Eaton shall have no obligation under this Warranty. Also during  
such time, the period of this Warranty shall continue to run and the expiration of this Warranty shall not be extended upon payment of  
any overdue or unpaid amounts.  
COSTS NOT RELATED TO WARRANTY: The End-User shall be invoiced for, and shall pay for, all services not expressly provided for by  
the terms of this Warranty, including without limitation site calls involving an inspection that determines no corrective maintenance is  
required. Any costs for replacement equipment, installation, materials, freight charges, travel expenses, or labor of Eaton representatives  
outside the terms of this Warranty will be borne by the End-User.  
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: In the USA, call the Eaton Customer Reliability Center 7x24 at 800-843-9433. Outside of the USA,  
call your local Eaton sales or service representative, or call the Eaton Customer Reliability Center in the USA at 919-870-3028. For
