Chapter 1 Introduction The Eaton® BladeUPS® module is an uninterruptible power system (UPS) that protects your sensitive electronic equipment from the most common power problems, including power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise. Power outages can occur when you least expect it, and power quality can be erratic.
INTRODUCTION Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the BladeUPS module's unique benefits include the following: S High-density three-phase input, three-phase output UPS. S Scalability to 60 kW (redundant N+1 configuration) by connecting up to five additional parallel UPSs. A standalone UPS converts to a parallel UPS by changing the line cord. Each UPS in the parallel system connects to a BladeUPS Bar pre-installed in the rear of an Eaton rack. Racks can be configured for bottom or top entry.
INTRODUCTION The BladeUPS Bar for parallel systems, mounted in the rear of an Eaton rack, provides the required input and output connections for the paralleled UPSs and has a single system-rated input connection. Figure 2 shows an example of a BladeUPS parallel system. The BladeUPS system can be installed with Eaton remote power panels and rack-mounted power distribution systems. BladeUPS Bar BladeUPS Module BladeUPS Module BladeUPS Module Bottom Entry Wireway Figure 2.
INTRODUCTION S When configured with EBMs, each UPS in a parallel system must have the same number of EBMs installed. S Some load equipment may require phase rotation or phase relationship coordination to ensure proper operation. Review your equipment manufacturer's power requirement documents to ensure that your connected equipment operates correctly. Figure 55 on page 67 shows an example of a standalone UPS with EBMs.

Chapter 6 Communication This chapter describes the: S DB-9 communication port S X-Slot cards S Relay output contacts S Programmable signal inputs S Remote emergency power-off (REPO) S Parallel communication Figure 73 shows the location of the communication options and control terminals on the UPS.
COMMUNICATION Installing Communication Options and Control Terminals To install the communication options and control terminals: 1. Install the appropriate X-Slot card and/or necessary cable(s) (see Figure 73 and Figure 74). Figure 74. Installing Communication Cables 2. Connect the cables to the appropriate location. See “Communication Options” on page 109 or “Control Terminals” on page 111 for detailed information. 108 3. Route and tie the cable(s) out of the way. 4.
COMMUNICATION Communication Options The BladeUPS has serial communication capabilities through the DB-9 communication port or through an X-Slot card in one of the available bays. The UPS supports two serial communication devices according to the following table: Table 11.
COMMUNICATION X-Slot Cards X-Slot cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of devices. The BladeUPS has two available communication bays for any X-Slot card, including: S ConnectUPS-X Web/SNMP Card - has SNMP and HTTP capabilities as well as monitoring through a Web browser interface; connects to a twisted-pair Ethernet (10/100BaseT) network.
COMMUNICATION Control Terminals Connect the cables to the control terminals with a mating connector. Input and output terminals have a functional isolation from terminal to terminal. They are connected to the UPS through individual 1 MΩ resistors.
COMMUNICATION Programmable Signal Inputs The UPS incorporates two programmable signal inputs (see Figure 73 on page 107). Use of non-polar (relay) control input is recommended. The pins must be shorted with maximum resistance of 10 ohm in order to activate the specific input. NOTE See Figure 77 on page 111 for the polarity and verify these connections if polarity control is required. Table 13 shows the programmable settings for the signal inputs. Table 13.
COMMUNICATION Remote Emergency Power-off REPO is used to shut down the UPS from a distance. This feature can be used for shutting down the load and the UPS by thermal relay, for example in the event of room overtemperature. When REPO is activated, the UPS shuts down all converters, de-energizes all system relays, trips the UPS battery circuit breaker, and powers down within 10–15 seconds.
COMMUNICATION 3. Connect the appropriate external switch to the selected REPO contact. See Figure 78 for NO REPO wiring and Figure 79 for NC REPO wiring. 4. Reconnect the REPO connector pins and turn on the UPS manually to restart. The pins must be shorted to keep the UPS running. Maximum resistance is 10 ohm. NOTE The REPO wiring of a standalone UPS can be connected with the REPO wiring of a parallel system if the same sense (NO or NC) contacts are used. Be sure to match the polarity for the contacts.
COMMUNICATION NOTE Always test the REPO function before applying your critical load to avoid accidental load loss.
COMMUNICATION UPS 6 REPO Terminals Normally-Open Normally-Closed 2 + Polarity 1 – Polarity 2 + Polarity 1 – Polarity 2 + Polarity 1 – Polarity 2 + Polarity 1 – Polarity NOTE Remove factory-install jumper wires and replace with REPO switch wiring.
COMMUNICATION Parallel Communication The CAN Bridge Card in each paralleled UPS provides connectivity for system metering and operational mode control. Startup, shutdown, and auto-calibration commands given at one UPS also command the other UPSs in the parallel system. The UPSs in a parallel system are in constant communication to monitor settings and status information.
COMMUNICATION If a UPS is shut down and removed from the parallel system, the other UPSs in the system will not re-identify themselves to compensate for the missing UPS until logic power to all the UPSs is cycled. For example, if you remove UNIT 2 and rewire UNIT 3's CAN IN port to UNIT 1's CAN OUT port, UNIT 3 will not re-identify itself as UNIT 2 until logic power is cycled. The CAN Bridge Cards for UNIT 1 and UNIT 3 continue to function normally without the need to re-identify.
Chapter 7 UPS Maintenance This chapter explains how to: S Care for the UPS and batteries S Replace the UPS batteries and EBMs S Test new batteries S Replace the electronics module S Replace a UPS in a parallel system S Recycle used batteries or UPS S Update the UPS firmware UPS and Battery Care For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust‐free.

Chapter 9 Troubleshooting The BladeUPS module is designed for durable, automatic operation and also alerts you whenever potential operating problems may occur. 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. Use the following troubleshooting chart to determine the UPS alarm condition. Typical Alarms and Conditions The following table describes typical alarms and conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action Battery Connection The UPS does not recognize the internal batteries. If the condition persists, contact your service representative. LED is on. 1 beep every 3 seconds. Two or more battery trays are disconnected. Verify that all battery trays are fully seated and locked in place. If the condition persists, contact your service representative.
TROUBLESHOOTING Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action Battery test did not run. The bypass utility was not present or was not within limits. Verify that the bypass utility is available and within limits. Batteries were not fully charged. Apply utility power for 48 hours to charge the batteries, then restart the battery test. User cancelled the battery test through the front panel. Restart the battery test. The UPS is not in the proper phase of the cycle.
TROUBLESHOOTING Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action Software Incompatibility Detected. The UPS detects a paralleled UPS with a later firmware version. Mixing major firmware versions is not supported. For minor firmware versions, the alarm does not prevent operation, but different firmware versions in a parallel system cause conflicts. Verify that all UPSs in the parallel system have the same firmware version. For updates, see “Updating the UPS Firmware” on page 128.
