Chapter 1Introduction
The Eaton® 9170+ uninterruptible power system (UPS) is a modular UPS
that contains battery modules and power control modules (referred to as
power modules). These modules plug into a rack cabinet structure
containing additional control, communication, and display functions that
enable integrated control of all power modules. The UPS is housed in a
single cabinet, with extra battery capacity housed in auxiliary battery
cabinets.
The pluggable power modules can be removed and replaced
(hot-swapped) without powering the UPS down if the UPS has sufficient
redundant capacity. Battery modules may also be hot-swapped for
maintenance. Power control circuitry in the cabinet senses problems in
power modules, and automatically transfers control and load to the
remaining power modules.
All power modules share the load requirements equally. For example,
three power modules are capable of supplying a total of 9 kVA. If a load
requires only 4.5 kVA, each power module supplies 1.5 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
2.25 kVA. In other words, redundancy exists when the load can be
supplied by less than all of the installed power modules.
The UPS can be configured with up to seven power and/or optional
battery charger modules; its output is 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.
To permit UPS removal from the power path while maintaining power to
the loads, an external bypass switch is required. This switch is optional
but recommended for system serviceability.

To install the caster cart:
1.Place the caster cart (shipped separately from the UPS cabinet)
under the cabinet before installing power and battery modules and
before making connections to the intended power source.
The cart requires no bolts or other hardware to fasten it to the UPS
cabinet. It is shaped to fit securely under the cabinet, ensuring
proper alignment after placing the cabinet on the cart.
2.Four foot pads under the cart keep the cart from rolling when it is in
its intended location. Turn each threaded foot to lower it to the
floor. When the foot is tight against the floor, turn the locknut on
the threaded foot up tight against the bottom of the cart to keep the
foot from rotating.
3.If leveling of the UPS is required, use the foot pads to raise a side
or corner before locking them with their locknuts.
The 12-slot Eaton 9170+ UPS cabinet is shipped with two stabilizer
brackets. These brackets must be attached to the wall or the floor
behind the UPS cabinet. Under all module-loading conditions, they act as
a protective stop to prevent the cabinet from falling forward if it is
unintentionally pushed away from the wall.
INSTALLATION SETUP
Each bracket has holes that enable it to be attached by screws to either
the wall or the floor (or both) behind the intended cabinet installation
(see Figure 8). The stabilizer brackets are not attached to the cabinet
base itself.

See Table 2 for recommended conductor sizes to wire the input circuit
breakers.
This table lists the mm
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 310–16 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, 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.

Bypass switches are available in two types: Make-Before-Break (MBB)
and Break-Before-Make (BBM).
An MBB switch makes a new connection before it breaks the original
connection. For example, if you turn an MBB switch from UPS to LINE,
the bypass switch connects the load to AC input power before
disconnecting the load from UPS output power. (As noted in Figure 38
on page 57, MBB switches may not be used in certain system
configurations.)
A BBM switch breaks the original connection before it makes a new
one. If you turn a BBM switch from UPS to LINE, the switch
disconnects the load from UPS output power before connecting the load
to AC input power.
The bypass switch has four positions as described in Table 3.
Page 29
UPS WITH BYPASS ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
NOTE In the UPS or LINE position, AC input power is still connected to the input terminals
inside the UPS.
Table 3. Bypass Switch Positions
Switch PositionDescription
LINEConnects the load directly to AC input power and disconnects UPS output. AC input power is
still connected to the UPS input.
OFFDisconnects the load from the UPS output power and AC input power, as well as AC input
power to the UPS input.
UPSConnects the UPS output to the load.
SERVICELike the LINE position, SERVICE 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.
Bypass Switch Operation
The bypass switch consists of a load position handle and a red button
(see Figure 13).
The red button:
S Sends an electrical signal to the UPS to switch to the internal Bypass
mode (if it is not already operating in that mode).
S Operates a mechanical interlock, to prevent the switch from being
turned without first signaling the UPS.
For MBB switches, you must press the red button before you can turn
the load position handle.
When the red button is pressed the UPS front panel displays “Manual
Bypass.” The load position handle can now be turned from the UPS to
LINE position or from the LINE to UPS position.

ARNING
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the electrical
installation. Risk of electrical shock.
CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock or damage to the equipment, verify that the Eaton 9170+ UPS is
OFF before you remove the entrance panel. The circuit breaker or disconnect switch must
also be off at the AC input service panel. Also, turn OFF the AC disconnect and bypass
switches before you connect any wires to the bypass switch terminal strip.
To install the UPS with an external bypass switch:
1.Mount the bypass switch within sight of the UPS. If you do not
have an Eaton bypass switch or the fuse box or panel is out of
sight, you must install a separate disconnect switch next to the
UPS.
The bypass switch should be mounted securely to a sturdy surface.
You may need to turn the cabinet 90 degrees (on its side) to enable
operator access to the switch handle.
26
2.Remove the six screws in the bypass switch front cover and
remove the cover. Remove any packing material inside the bypass
switch.
3.Remove knockouts in the bottom of the bypass switch for AC Line
Input, AC to UPS Input, AC from UPS Output, and AC to the UPS
load.
4.Unscrew and remove the rear cover(s) of the UPS (top cover on 3-
or 6-slot; top two covers on 9- or 12-slot). See Figure 14.
The entrance panel contains knockout openings for entrance and
exit conduits and for conduit to an optional external battery cabinet.
The entrance panel is located on the top 3-slot section for 3- and
6-slot cabinets; on the second section for 9- and 12-slot cabinets as
shown in Figure 14.
Wiring for optional emergency power-off (EPO) and bypass input
signals passes through the opening at the top back of the cabinet.
Wiring for an optional generator input signal must pass through a
separate opening. Installing this wiring is described in Steps 14

9.Wire the UPS for the proper input voltage as shown in Figure 17.
Split-phase power modules (model ASY-0673, with brown labels on
the front) are capable of supplying two output voltages: 100/100
for 200, 110/110 for 220, 120/120 for 240, 120/120 for 208, or
127/127 for 220 Vac, as selected through the front panel display.
These modules produce two output voltages, typically required in
North America, South America, and Japan.
Universal power modules (model ASY-0674, with black labels on
the front) are capable of supplying a single-phase output voltage:
200, 208, 220, 230, or 240 Vac, as selected through the front panel
display. These modules produce a single output voltage, typically
required in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Confirm that the UPS is wired for the proper input voltage as shown in Figure 17, and that
the proper power modules (either split-phase or universal) are installed to produce the
desired output voltage. Do not mix the two types of power modules in the same UPS
cabinet.

5.Wire the UPS for the proper input voltage as shown in Figure 28.
Split-phase power modules (model ASY-0673, with brown labels on
the front) are capable of supplying two output voltages: 100/100
for 200, 110/110 for 220, 120/120 for 240, 120/120 for 208, or
127/127 for 220 Vac, as selected through the front panel display.
These modules produce two output voltages, typically required in
North America, South America, and Japan.
Universal power modules (model ASY-0674, with black labels on
the front) are capable of supplying a single-phase output voltage:
200, 208, 220, 230, or 240 Vac, as selected through the front panel
display. These modules produce a single output voltage, typically
required in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
CAUTION
Confirm that the UPS is wired for the proper input voltage as shown in Figure 28, and that
the proper power modules (either split-phase or universal) are installed to produce the
desired output voltage. Do not mix the two types of power modules in the same UPS
cabinet.

Chapter 7UPS Startup
This section provides step-by-step instructions for starting your Eaton
9170+ system. Follow these procedures closely to avoid potential
damage to your equipment or the UPS and to protect yourself and
others from hazardous operating conditions.
S This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry
hazardous voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply. When AC input
voltage is present, the Eaton 9170+ system can provide output voltage even though its
batteries are disconnected. To confirm that there is no UPS output voltage, always
disconnect all of the AC input sources and unplug all strings of internal battery modules;
if the UPS has one or more separate battery cabinets, open (push in) the DC disconnect
switch button on each battery cabinet or unplug all battery strings in each battery
cabinet.
S To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity
controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature
must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95%
maximum).
S For optimum battery life, ambient temperature should not exceed 25°C (77°F). Battery
life is substantially reduced if ambient temperature is higher.
CAUTION
Power and Battery Module Installation
To install the power and battery modules into the Eaton 9170+ cabinet:
1.Remove the front cover(s) of the cabinet.
The covers have spring latches on the left and right sides that hold
them in place.

7.Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS output
receptacles. Turn on the equipment that is connected to the UPS.
NOTE DO NOT protect laser printers with the UPS because of the exceptionally high power
requirements of the heating elements.
NOTE The total volt-ampere load must not exceed the volt-ampere rating of the entire
cabinet. Failure to balance the loads may cause an overload alarm even if the full capacity of
the UPS has not been reached.
For Eaton 9170+ UPS models with low-voltage output receptacles,
it is recommended to divide loads between upper and lower
receptacles as equally as possible. (In some configurations, each
set of receptacles is limited to one half of the total UPS capacity.)
Whether the cabinet has one panel containing eight receptacles,
two panels containing 16 receptacles, or three panels containing
24 receptacles, you should try to supply half of the UPS output
through the upper half of the receptacles (X1) and the other half
through the lower half of the receptacles (X2), as shown in
Figure 50.

Chapter 8Operation
The Eaton 9170+ UPS operates in several different modes. Normally it
operates under internal control (Auto mode) to automatically protect
loads connected to it. An operator can enable manual override should
servicing or testing be required.
Figure 52 shows the operating modes. In Auto mode, the UPS
automatically switches between modes depending on line and load
conditions.
Double Conversion
(line conditioning)
BatteryOff
Figure 52. UPS Operating Modes Under Auto Mode Control
Internal Bypass
Double Conversion mode produces output power from the internal DC
bus. The AC input power is rectified and boosted to supply this DC bus.
The UPS switches automatically to and from Battery mode with no
interruption (0 ms transfer time) as AC input power drops and returns.
Batteries are charged in this mode.
Battery mode produces power from the batteries to supply the internal
DC bus.
Internal Bypass (Bypass) mode shunts power flow around the DC/AC
internal circuitry to keep the output powered with no line conditioning.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and surge circuitry still protect the
loads from voltage spikes and noise.
High Efficiency (H.E.) mode is a user-programmable automatic mode
that allows power to flow through the internal UPS bypass path for as
long as AC input stays within the user-defined set points. If the input
voltage or frequency deviates beyond these set points, the UPS
transfers to Double Conversion mode. Complete loss of input voltage
causes the UPS to transfer to Battery mode. While in H.E. mode, the
UPS provides passive EMI filtering in the power path.

Off mode turns off the output and most internal circuitry. Within this
mode, Sleep mode turns off all internal circuitry when AC line is not
present and battery voltage drops to a low threshold. If AC input voltage
is not present in Off mode, the user can direct the UPS to enter Sleep
mode by selecting the Battery Protect (BP) feature (see “Removing
Input Power” on page 79). When AC input voltage returns in the Off
mode (caused by a low battery alarm condition), the UPS automatically
recovers and, if the Auto Restart parameter is enabled, switches to
Double Conversion mode. Auto Restart is enabled as a factory-default.
After a discharge and subsequent low-battery shutdown, the UPS
automatically recovers from Sleep mode if the Auto Restart parameter is
enabled.

Turning the UPS On
The unit has no physical On/Off switch. Access the UPS On/Off function
through the front panel display.
If the UPS is off, press the ON button through the front panel display to
turn the UPS on again.
If the UPS has been manually set to operate in Bypass or Battery mode,
change the System Control Mode Preference (menu 4 1) selection to
Auto to return to normal Auto mode operation.
NOTE The UPS will not start operating if AC input voltage or frequency is beyond
acceptable limits or if the system mode selection is set to Battery. The UPS can not go
directly from Off to Battery.
Removing Input Power
Always transfer the UPS to Off mode before removing input power. The
batteries will discharge if the input line voltage is disconnected or turned
off without first turning off the UPS.
OPERATION
If the input power source will be disconnected or turned off for more
than a day or two, transfer the UPS to Sleep mode: turn the UPS off,
remove AC input power, press the On button, and then select Battery
Protect (BP). Sleep mode allows the UPS to remain unpowered for up to
six months without having to remove or recharge batteries.
Failure to properly power down the UPS could permanently damage any
installed batteries. Also, if batteries become severely discharged, the
UPS might not start immediately when input power is restored.

more detail.
Dedicated Input Signals
Emergency Power-off: Connection to a facility Emergency Shutdown
switch provides a method for emergency Eaton 9170+ system
shutdown. Opening this connection creates an immediate shutdown of
the Eaton 9170+ UPS output.
Bypass: The signal from an external bypass switch, to isolate the Eaton
9170+ system for maintenance purposes, tells the UPS to go into
Internal Bypass mode.

COMMUNICATION
On-Generator: An external signal can indicate that the input power is
being supplied by a generator. Closure of this contact causes the UPS to
change the following parameters to preset values that are designed to
optimize performance during periods of generator instability:
S Phase Lock Window and Frequency Slew Rate. These parameters
increase the rate at which the UPS tracks the input line, which causes
fewer recognized line faults during generator instability.
S Frequency Glitch Count. This parameter increases the number of bad
frequency cycles before the unit transfers to battery power, allowing
the UPS to operate smoothly during generator instability without
transferring to battery.
S Maximum Delta and Line Delta. These parameters widen the
acceptable input voltage range, allowing the UPS to ignore any
transient voltage regulation problems a generator may experience
during unstable periods.
These parameters are also available to trained service personnel through
the Service Menu.
See Figure 14 on page 27 and Figure 21 on page 33 to make the
connection for all dedicated input signals.

DB-9 Communication Port
Table 13 explains the functions of the pins on the Eaton 9170+ DB-9
communication port. This port is on the Eaton 9170+ UPS rear panel, as
shown in Figure 49 on page 69.

RS-232 Receive Data Function. Receives incoming RS-232 communication 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).
S The UPS output shuts off even if the normal AC input power is restored during the
120 second delay.
S The UPS output automatically restarts after the UPS determines the normal AC
input power is stable.
S The shutdown and restart timing represented by the functionality of Pin 3 is
independent from the shutdown and restart timing specified from the host
software.
Pin 8 shifts from RS-232 Low (positive voltage) to RS-232 High (negative 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).
The UPS is factory-set with Pin 9 disconnected, but can be enabled 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.

Chapter 10Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
NOTE Observe important safety precautions while performing these checks.
NOTE Eaton recommends that you schedule preventive maintenance checks at least every
six months.
The Eaton 9170+ 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 9170+ UPS and optional external battery cabinets do require
some attention to assure continued reliable service. Follow Eaton's
recommended maintenance schedule, which includes:
S Check operating environment for clean, cool, dry conditions.
S Inspect and clean the cabinet.
S Check operation of fans (power modules).
S Check and tighten all connections.
S View and record the alarm and inverter logs.
S Check the batteries.
S Check the displayed UPS readings against actual measurements and
recalibrate if necessary.
S Perform a system test.
S Check and record the values of the parameters in the System Status
Menu (menu 1) online and on battery.
S Check the MOV surge suppression pack.
For more information on preventive maintenance checks, contact your
service representative.

MAINTENANCE
Storage Temperature
Store the Eaton 9170+ battery modules (in the UPS or external battery
cabinet) at –20 to +40°C (–4 to +104°F). Batteries will have a longer
shelf life if they are kept below +25°C (+77°F). The Eaton 9170+ UPS or
battery cabinet without batteries may be stored at –40 to +60°C (–40 to
+140°F).
Press the red button beside the switch before turning the Eaton MBB
bypass switch. This button:
S Sends an electrical signal to the UPS to switch to the internal Bypass
mode (if it is not already operating in that mode).
S Operates a mechanical interlock, to prevent the switch from being
turned without first signaling the UPS.
NOTE When the red button is released, the UPS remains in its internal Bypass mode.
Return the UPS to Auto mode by selecting that mode on the front panel display.
See “Bypass Switch Operation” on page 23 for additional information.
Battery Replacement
The Eaton 9170+ hot‐swappable feature lets you replace the battery
modules without disconnecting the load or damaging the batteries.
NOTE The Eaton 9170+ UPS will operate with uncharged (or no) batteries, but will have
limited (or no) battery backup capability. Backup protection requires at least three battery
strings for every four power modules. The UPS may indicate an alarm with no batteries
present.
To replace battery modules in pairs:
1.Remove the front covers from the battery modules to replace.
2.Grasp the battery module handle and press down on the latch
