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. If there is a power outage and the Powerware 9355
UPS battery power becomes low, Powerware LanSafe software can
automatically shut down your computer system to protect your data
before the UPS shutdown occurs.
COMMUNICATION
Control Terminals
The cables should be connected 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 chassis through
individual 1 MΩ resistors.

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
instance in the event of room overtemperature. When REPO is
activated, the UPS shuts down all converters, de-energizes all system
relays, trips the battery circuit breaker, and fully powers down within
10-15 seconds.
There are two REPO positions that may be used, normally-open or
normally-closed.
The pins on the normally-closed REPO connector are connected
together. When this connection is open, the logic circuitry completely
shuts down the UPS, thus preventing the power from supplying the
load.
If the use of normally-closed REPO operation is desired, replace the

connector with a normally-closed external switch (see Figure 34 on
page 49).
If the use of normally-open REPO operation is desired, connect a
normally-open external switch (see Figure 34 on page 49).
NOTE To restart the UPS, reconnect the REPO connector pins and turn on the UPS
manually. The pins must be shorted to keep the UPS running. Maximum resistance is 10 ohm.
NOTE Leave the REPO connector installed in the REPO port on the UPS rear panel even if
the REPO function is not needed.
CAUTION
S The REPO must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation
to the utility is required. The REPO switch must have a minimum rating of 24 Vdc and
20 mA.
S To ensure the UPS stops supplying power to the load during any mode of operation, the
input power must be disconnected from the UPS when the emergency power-off function
is activated.

Relay Output Contacts

The UPS incorporates a programmable relay output with potential free
contacts for remote alarm indications (see Figure 34 on page 49). An
additional four relay outputs can be obtained with the X-Slot compatible
Relay Interface Card.
WARNING
The relay output contacts must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced
insulation to the utility is required. The relay output contacts must have a maximum rating of
30 Vac/1A and 60 Vdc/2A nominal values.
Programmable Signal Inputs

The UPS incorporates two programmable signal inputs (see Figure 34 on
page 49). 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 45 on page 62 for the polarity and verify these connections if polarity
control is required.
The default and programmable settings for the signal inputs are shown
in Table 6.

Chapter 10 UPS Maintenance
This section explains how to:

S Care for the UPS and batteries
S Recycle used batteries or UPS
S Use the maintenance bypass switch
UPS and Battery Care

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS
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 UPS at an ambient temperature of

77°F (25°C).
NOTE The batteries in the UPS are rated for a 3–5 year service life. The length of
service life varies, depending on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature.
Batteries used beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced runtimes.
Replace batteries at least every 5 years to keep units running at peak efficiency.
Storing the UPS and Batteries

When storing the UPS and optional cabinets, the following requirements
should be met:
S Verify that the battery circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
S Avoid temperature and humidity extremes. To maximize battery life,
the recommended storage temperature is 59°F (15°C) to 77°F (25°C).
S If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the batteries every
10 months by applying utility power. The batteries charge to 80%
capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is recommended that
the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.
S Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the
date has expired and the batteries were never recharged, do not use
the UPS. Contact your service representative.
UPS MAINTENANCE
When to Replace Batteries

When the indicator flashes and the LCD panel displays Battery
Failure, the batteries may need replacing. Contact your service
representative to order new batteries.
Change the batteries approximately every five years.
Recycling the Used Battery or UPS

Contact your local recycling or hazardous waste center for information
on proper disposal of the used battery or UPS.
WARNING
S 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.
S Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION
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 center.
CAUTION
Do not discard waste electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) in the trash. For proper
disposal, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous waste center.
UPS MAINTENANCE
Using the UPS Maintenance Bypass Switch

The UPS maintenance bypass switch is located on the back of the UPS
(see Figure 47).
The maintenance bypass switch is used to bypass the UPS during

maintenance or servicing. The switch provides a wrap-around bypass
without shutting down the load. The SERVICE position on the switch
allows a service engineer to apply power to the UPS input and verify its
operation while the load is powered through bypass.

Chapter 13 Limited Warranty
WARRANTOR: The warrantor for the limited warranties set forth herein is Eaton Power Quality Corporation, a
Delaware Corporation (“Eaton”).
LIMITED WARRANTY: This limited warranty (this “Warranty”) applies only to the original end-user (the “End-User”)
of the Powerware 3 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 date of Product shipment, whichever occurs first. 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 date of Product shipment,
whichever occurs first.
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 USA) or Agent (outside of
USA) performs start-up 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 USA) or Agent (outside of 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.
LIMITED WARRANTY
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 operators 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
