Data center downtime is costly.

What if you could predict future outages days or even weeks ahead of time? 

With our cloud-based Remote Monitoring Service (also known as PredictPulse), which is part of our Brightlayer Data Centers Suite, power experts monitor your Eaton uninterruptable power supply (UPS) and power distribution unit (PDU) systems around the clock and are ready to act for you when unexpected issues arise – minimizing equipment downtime. 

Key product features

Learn how our remote monitoring service is like having a second pair of eyes on your power infrastructure

Reports and customized alerts provide real-time information on how your system is performing

Device detail screen includes at-a-glance health details, load trends, recent alarms and predictive alerts on components.

Mobile app provides access to real-time health and alarm data when you’re on the go.

Monthly battery degradation notice identifies which batteries need replacing and when.

“The service has definitely quickly deployed field technicians. At one of our sites, the temperature in the room was rising. Because we received a notification, we were able to get an engineer dispatched to the site to the HVAC problem. Had we not done that, we might have ended up with a UPS failure.”

Hear how our Remote Monitoring Service saves customers time and money

We like the closeness of Eaton's manufacturing to their technical team -the way they're entwined – so that they experience lessons-learned a lot quicker than an outside, third-party team that would be doing the support and feeding back to the factory. Eaton's service and engineers were one of the deciding factors for us.”

  1. PredictPulse for Eaton three-phase UPS models include monitoring, predictive and LTE wireless in the subscription price. Customers of Eaton single-phase products may purchase PredictPulse with or without LTE wireless.
  2. Customers declining the LTE wireless may use a customer-supplied SMTP network connection.
  3. Predictive analytics availability varies by Eaton UPS model and not all three-phase products support predictive.
  4. LTE wireless includes an Eaton-supplied LTE gateway modem with multi-carrier compatibility (AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile in the United States) and the wireless data plan costs are included with the PredictPulse service. LTE wireless may not work in every site or location.
  5. LTE wireless requires a 120VAC power source, preferably protected.
  6. LTE wireless should be connected to a dedicated Eaton network card (not shared for other purposes); this is a cybersecurity best practice and is strongly recommended.
  7. PredictPulse is compatible with select Eaton hardware. See a complete list of required hardware
  8. PredictPulse can be self-installed, or an Eaton field technician can install and provide connectivity equipment (separately purchased).
  9. In the United States, PredictPulse is included for Eaton three-phase products for the first year from startup at no-charge and can be self-installed; Eaton 93PM and 9395 UPS models include wireless installed during startup at no charge. Customers of non 93PM and 9395 models can purchase wireless at startup.
