EATON UPS 5E 1200 USB FR Gen2

The Eaton UPS 5E 1200 USB FR Gen2 backup power supply operates with line-interactive topology, providing an apparent power of 1200VA and a real power of 660W. Thanks to its automatic voltage regulation (AVR), it actively corrects both undervoltage and overvoltage within a wide input range of 140–300V without needing to switch to battery. This extends the battery's lifespan and saves its capacity for a complete power failure. The fanless design contributes to silent operation in both home and office environments. Additionally, the batteries recharge continuously, even when the power supply itself is off, keeping them ready for use.

Topology and performance of the backup power supply

The Eaton 5E 1200 UPS uses line-interactive technology, which effectively responds to instability in the power grid. It operates with an input voltage range of 140 to 300V. The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) function corrects undervoltage and overvoltage at the output without switching to battery power. This protects connected devices while extending the life of the internal battery. The power supply's efficiency at 100% load is 95%.

Battery operation and protection features

The power supply supports a cold start function, which lets the user start connected devices directly from the battery even without mains power. The batteries recharge continuously, even when the UPS itself is turned off. This way, the power supply keeps the battery constantly ready for a potential outage. Integrated surge protection shields sensitive electronics from damage caused by voltage spikes. Compliance with safety standards is confirmed by TÜV, CE and IEC/EN 62040 certifications.

Managing the Eaton backup power supply

The built-in USB port enables communication with a computer. When connected to a workstation and used with the compatible Eaton UPS Companion software, it allows you to monitor the status and configure the parameters of the backup power supply. The software provides an overview of the current load, remaining backup time, and battery status. This lets the system administrator set up an automatic and safe shutdown of the operating system during a prolonged power outage to prevent the loss of unsaved data. Four FR-type output sockets allow you to connect powered devices. All four sockets provide both battery backup and surge protection for connected electronics, such as computers, monitors, or network components.
