Specifications, conditions & service
| Catalog subcategory | Line-interactive UPS |
|---|---|
| Topology / power path | Line-interactive with automatic voltage regulation (AVR); inverter transfers to the load when input is outside the acceptable range. |
| Ratings / output configuration | 850 VA / 600 W; 230 V regional model. Six IEC C13 output receptacles per 5P850i configuration. Confirm nameplate and manual for exact input/output wiring. |
| Battery / replaceability | Internal sealed lead-acid battery; Eaton documentation describes user battery replacement for the 5P family. Exact cartridge and safe replacement procedure are revision-specific. |
| Runtime / limits and conditions | Eaton publishes model/load runtime graphs. Consult the 5P850i chart for connected watts; runtime is not fixed and changes with load, battery age/condition, charge and temperature. |
| Interfaces / monitoring | LCD, USB and RS-232 communications; optional communication slot/accessories vary by configuration. Use a compatible Eaton shutdown agent and the specified cable. |
| Safety / installation caveats | 230 V only, not for 120 V mains. IEC C13 loads and 600 W limit apply. Follow manufacturer battery/service procedures; do not open energized equipment. |
| Model variants / revision checks | 5P850i is not the 120 V 5P850 (without i) or rack-mount 5P850iR. Verify complete suffix, receptacles, input cord and battery documentation. |
Field service / archive notes
- Record labels and connector layout before installation; document load, input conditions, measured behavior and test date separately from manufacturer-rated values.
- Never open energized mains equipment. Battery devices can retain dangerous voltage or high fault current; follow the manufacturer’s replacement and recycling procedure.
- Inspect enclosure, cord, plugs, grounding, indicators, alarms and battery condition. Quarantine damaged, swollen, leaking or heat-affected equipment.
- Network-management appliances should be isolated, updated where supported and configured with non-default credentials; do not expose legacy management interfaces directly to the public internet.
