The Eaton 5P 1440VA 1100W 120V Line-Interactive UPS is engineered to keep essential networking devices, servers, and point‑of‑sale equipment running smoothly when the power goes out. Ideal for small businesses, classrooms, retail locations, and departmental networks, this compact tower UPS delivers reliable battery backup, clean power, and smart management features in a sleek, space‑saving package. With True Sine Wave output, automatic voltage regulation, and an optional cybersecure network card, the Eaton 5P protects your critical gear from outages, surges, and voltage fluctuations while helping you minimize downtime and data loss.

• Power capacity and outlets for growing networks: With 1440VA / 1100W of rated capacity, the Eaton 5P supplies reliable backup to multiple devices from a single unit. It features 8 x 5-15R outlets to connect essential equipment like routers, switches, NAS devices, and servers, while a dedicated 5-15P input plug ensures a stable connection to your mains power. This combination reduces clutter and provides a centralized, safe power source for your IT stack.
• True Sine Wave for sensitive equipment: The 5P delivers True Sine Wave output, delivering clean, consistent power that mimics utility-grade waveform quality. This means your critical electronics—servers, network appliances, VoIP systems, and data storage—operate with minimal risk of voltage distortion, noise, or unexpected shutdowns during power events.
• Line-Interactive with automatic voltage regulation (AVR): In addition to battery protection, the Line-Interactive topology with AVR corrects minor voltage sags and surges without drawing from the battery. This protects equipment during brownouts and short outages, preserves battery life, and extends runtime for longer duration events, helping you maintain uptime without unnecessary battery wear.
• Cybersecure management options for modern networks: The Eaton 5P can be paired with a Cybersecure Network Card to enable secure remote management, monitoring, and configuration. This optional card supports centralized oversight, SNMP alerts, and remote power protection policies, making it easier for IT staff to safeguard devices across distributed locations while reducing on-site maintenance needs.
• Compact tower design with practical usability: The 5P’s tower form factor fits neatly under desks or in small equipment rooms, offering convenient accessibility for battery checks, firmware updates, and routine maintenance. Its intuitive status indicators and straightforward connection layout help IT personnel quickly deploy and manage power protection across a small business or educational environment.

how to install Eaton 5P 1440VA 1100W 120V Line-Interactive UPS

Setting up the Eaton 5P is straightforward and quick, designed to minimize downtime and get you protecting your infrastructure in just a few steps.

1) Choose a location: Place the UPS in a dry, well-ventilated area near a standard wall outlet. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for airflow and easy access to the unit and connected devices. Do not block vents or place the UPS where it could be exposed to moisture or extreme heat.

2) Connect to mains: Use the included power cord to plug the UPS into a 120V outlet. If you are pairing it with a network card, install the card into the designated slot first, then connect to your network using the card’s communication port.

3) Protect critical devices: Plug your essential equipment into the battery-backed outlets (the ones designed to stay powered during an outage). Non-critical devices can be connected to surge-only outlets if available. This ensures that routers, switches, NAS, and servers stay online when the power fluctuates or fails.

4) Configure and test: Power on the UPS and allow it to initialize. Run an automatic self-test to verify battery health, firmware status, and overall operation. If a network card is installed, configure the IP address and access credentials using the vendor’s software or web interface and enable alerting to monitor conditions remotely.

5) Verify operation: Simulate a power interruption to confirm the UPS transitions to battery power and that connected devices remain operational. Check the dashboard or software to confirm runtime estimates, load levels, and any alerts, then schedule regular battery health checks as part of routine maintenance.

Tips for optimal performance: Keep the UPS away from heat sources, maintain a reasonable load (do not exceed the rated 1100W), and perform periodic self-tests to monitor battery health. If you use the optional network card, configure alert thresholds to notify IT staff by email or SNMP traps, so you can respond quickly to events and minimize downtime for your network.

Frequently asked questions

• What does 1440VA / 1100W mean for my setup? 1440VA is the apparent power rating, while 1100W is the real power the UPS can supply to connected devices. This combination supports multiple critical devices with battery backup, enabling smooth shutdowns and continued operation during short outages.
• Which devices should I connect to the battery-backed outlets? Connect essential networking equipment (router, switch, firewall), storage devices, servers, and any device critical to uptime. Non-critical equipment can be connected to surge-only outlets if available to maximize runtime for the devices you must protect.
• Can I monitor the 5P remotely? Yes, with the optional Cybersecure Network Card, you can monitor status, receive alerts, and configure safe shutdown policies remotely. This is especially valuable for distributed networks, data centers, and classroom IT environments.
• What kind of power protection does it provide? The 5P provides battery backup for outages and surge voltage protection. Its AVR helps regulate minor voltage fluctuations without battery use, preserving battery life and improving overall device protection during brownouts.
• Is the battery replaceable, and how often should it be serviced? The 5P uses replaceable batteries typically designed for shop or service life in enterprise UPS systems. Battery health should be tested during routine maintenance, and replacement should be performed when runtime decreases noticeably or on manufacturer guidance. Always follow local regulations when handling battery replacements.
• What is the recommended installation environment? Choose a dry, ventilated space with a stable ambient temperature. Avoid areas with excessive dust, moisture, or heat. Proper airflow and clearance facilitate cooling and extend the life of the UPS and its internal components.
• Does it provide shutdown software for servers and workstations? Yes, the Eaton 5P is compatible with standard power management software that can orchestrate orderly shutdowns, log events, and automate notifications when the mains fail or when battery levels fall below a threshold.
