Eaton 5PX1000IRT2UG2 1000 VA/1000 W Gen2 Rack/Tower UPS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Eaton 5PX1000IRT2UG2—1 kVA Line‑Interactive Rack/Tower UPS

The Eaton 5PX1000IRT2UG2 is a 1000 VA / 1000 W line‑interactive UPS from Eaton’s 5PX Gen2 series, designed to deliver dependable power continuity and advanced protection for mission‑critical IT equipment in small to medium business environments. Its 2U rack/tower convertible chassis allows for flexible installation in 19‑inch server racks or standalone configurations, making it ideal for server rooms, network closets, and edge infrastructure.

Power Protection & Performance

This UPS utilizes line‑interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to stabilise utility voltage fluctuations and reduce unnecessary battery usage, thereby extending battery life and improving resilience against surges, sags, and electrical noise. It delivers a pure sine‑wave output with a unity power factor (1.0), meaning the full 1000 VA rating is usable as real power — ensuring reliable operation for active‑PFC servers, storage systems, and networking gear.

The unit accepts a broad input voltage range (adjustable 160 V–294 V) without switching to battery, preserving runtime and maintaining uptime during grid irregularities. It supports 50/60 Hz operation with extended frequency tolerance, enhancing compatibility across diverse regions and equipment types.

Battery & Runtime Capabilities

Built‑in batteries are lead‑acid, sealed, and user‑replaceable, managed with Eaton’s Advanced Battery Management (ABM®) and temperature‑compensated charging. These technologies prolong battery service life and improve reliability during prolonged outage conditions. The internal battery configuration delivers a typical backup time of around 17 minutes at half load, giving IT administrators time to save data and safely shut down systems during power interruptions.  The UPS also supports up to four external battery modules (EBMs) for users needing extended autonomy beyond the internal configuration, making it suitable for environments with stringent uptime requirements.

Connectivity, Monitoring & Management

The 5PX1000IRT2UG2 includes a multilingual graphical LCD display that presents real‑time status, measurements, and alerts, simplifying monitoring and on‑site diagnostics. Connectivity features include a USB (HID‑compliant) port, an RS‑232 serial port, dry contact outputs, and mini terminal blocks for remote ON/OFF and emergency power‑off control. One expansion slot supports optional communication cards such as SNMP/Web or relay modules for integration with network monitoring and management platforms.

Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager and Intelligent Power Protector software suites enable automated shutdowns, event logging, and seamless integration with virtualized environments across VMware, Hyper‑V, Citrix, and other platforms, enhancing operational control and system resilience.

Ideal Applications

The Eaton 5PX1000IRT2UG2 is well suited for environments where clean, reliable power and efficient energy use are essential—including server cabinets, network racks, telecommunications closets, and edge computing nodes. Its combination of advanced management features, flexible installation, and expandable runtime makes it a strong choice for protecting critical IT assets in business networks.
