Eaton 9SX3000HW – 3000VA Hardwired Online UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9SX3000HW is a hardwired online double-conversion UPS built for facilities that need permanent wired power protection rather than a plug-and-cord connection. Rated at 3000 VA / 2700 W, it delivers true sine wave output with zero transfer time, making it a dependable hardwired online UPS for AV racks, data closets, and other commercial-grade installations where clean, continuous power is required. This unit supports extended runtime through external battery modules, giving integrators a scalable double-conversion UPS for AV rack systems that need more backup time than the internal battery alone provides. It suits facilities teams standardizing on hardwired UPS for commercial installation across multiple equipment rooms.

Product Description

The 9SX3000HW belongs to Eaton's 9SX online UPS family, engineered for continuous double-conversion operation so connected AV processors, switchers, and control systems never see a transfer gap during a utility event. Because the input and output are hardwired rather than terminated in a standard plug, this model is typically installed by a licensed electrician directly into a junction box, which makes it a good match for commercial AV racks, broadcast equipment rooms, and data closets where a dedicated circuit already feeds the rack. The unit ships with USB and RS-232 ports plus a mini-slot expansion bay for network management cards, so it integrates with existing building monitoring and remote power management platforms. Hot-swappable internal batteries use Eaton's ABM three-stage charging to extend battery service life, and the design accepts external battery modules for sites that need extended runtime UPS with battery modules beyond the base unit's capacity. At 0U free-standing and 77.2 lb, it can sit on the floor of a rack enclosure or in an adjacent equipment bay. For AV integrators specifying a hardwired online UPS for a permanently wired commercial installation, the 9SX3000HW offers the double-conversion topology, true sine wave output, and expansion path that data closet and AV rack deployments demand.

Key Features

• Online double-conversion topology — Connected loads run continuously off the inverter, eliminating transfer time so sensitive AV and IT equipment never experiences a power interruption during a utility event.
• Hardwired input and output — The unit terminates directly to building wiring instead of a cord and plug, which suits permanent commercial installations tied into a dedicated circuit.
• True sine wave output — Clean output power matches utility-quality waveform, which is important for AV amplifiers, switchers, and other sensitive electronic loads.
• Extended runtime capability — Supports external battery modules so integrators can scale backup time beyond the internal battery for longer outages.
• ABM battery management — Three-stage charging technology is designed to extend battery service life by up to 50 percent compared to standard charging methods.
• Hot-swappable batteries — Internal batteries can be replaced without powering down connected equipment, reducing planned maintenance downtime.
• Network management ready — A mini-slot expansion port and USB/RS-232 connectivity allow integration with remote monitoring and building management systems.
• 3-year limited warranty — Coverage includes parts, electronics, and batteries, backed by Eaton's manufacturer support.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio
• Government space
• Commercial meeting space

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 9SX3000HW be installed on a dedicated circuit in an AV rack room?

Yes. Because the input and output are hardwired, the unit is designed to terminate directly to building wiring on a dedicated circuit, which is common in commercial AV rack rooms and data closets. Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician per local code.

Does this UPS support extended battery runtime?

Yes. The 9SX3000HW accepts external battery modules for sites that need longer backup time than the internal battery alone provides, which is useful for AV racks that must stay powered through longer outages.

Can this UPS be monitored remotely as part of a building management system?

Yes. It includes USB and RS-232 ports along with a mini-slot expansion bay for optional network management cards, allowing integration with remote monitoring platforms commonly used in commercial facilities.

What is the output waveform, and why does it matter for AV equipment?

The 9SX3000HW produces a true sine wave output, which matches utility-quality power and is important for amplifiers, DSPs, and other sensitive AV electronics that can be affected by stepped or simulated sine wave output.

What warranty coverage comes with the 9SX3000HW?

Eaton backs the unit with a 3-year limited warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries.

Is the 9SX3000HW rack-mountable?

No, this model is a 0U free-standing unit designed to sit on the floor of an equipment room or adjacent to a rack rather than mount inside rack rails.

Who should I contact for help sizing this UPS to my AV load?

Contact Creation Networks for assistance calculating load requirements and confirming the 9SX3000HW is correctly sized for your specific AV rack or data closet deployment.
