SAFETY
1.1 HIGH VOLTAGE
Under no circumstances should the unit be opened except by trained,
qualified personnel, after AC power has been disconnected and residual
internal voltages have been allowed to decay. Potentially lethal voltages
exist within the unit when it is connected to AC power.
The plug on the power cord is used as a disconnect device. If the plug on
the power cord is used, the outlet shall be installed near the unit and shall
be readily accessible. If the unit is permanently installed without the plug,
a readily accessible disconnect device shall be used.
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) meeting local electrical codes
should be used in all areas that may be subject to moisture.
Whereas over voltage and transient protection is provided within the unit,
certain outdoor installations may require additional protection where the
mains supply can experience abnormal variations, or be influenced by
factors such as lightning strikes.
1.2 LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion battery pack handling, maintenance and replacement should
be made only by trained, qualified personnel. Improper handling can
result in injury to personnel, or damage to the unit to render it unusable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF UNIT
The SolidSwitch is a versatile multifunctional device for outdoor or indoor
use, to power and communicate with PoE devices over a network. It has 4
PoE output ports, each of which will provide up to 60W, up to the total rated
output power of the particular unit.
A fifth port provides connection to the network via an SFP module, which
can accept interfaces to a variety of network hardware depending on
user requirements. Any of the other ports can also be used for the network
connection if needed, but access is via an RJ45 connector only.
All ports support up to 1Gbps Ethernet speeds.
The unit runs normally from a universal AC input from 85 to 264V. This is used
to maintain the included Lithium-ion batteries and run the PoE loads when
AC power is present. Up to 1400WH of rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
storage is available inside the unit. Should AC power fail, the batteries will
seamlessly assume the PoE loads.
All ports provide access to the on-board network, power and battery
management system. A web browser is required to interface with this system.
The unit has been tested to IEC60529, level IP68 ingress protection
standards, and at extended temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor
applications. Internal heat dissipating parts are thermally connected to
the aluminum housing, and no fans are required.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | 76 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The unit may be mounted on any convenient flat surfaces including
concrete, wood, brick, etc. using 4 screws through the mounting holes. Pole
mounting is made easy with an optional pole mounting kit. The suggested
orientation of the unit is with the glands facing downward to easily facilitate
bringing power to the unit and for connecting to POE and LAN ports.
Earth ground screw must be connected to Earth ground in all types
of installations.
When installing on a brick surface the use of lag screws is recommended.
Orientate the SolidSwitch so that none of the lag screws are located on
the mortar.
When installing on a concrete wall, concrete block, cement block,
foundation block or concrete masonry unit (CMU) ensure the appropriate
anchor is selected for the weight of the unit.
The UPS SolidSwitch is an outdoor device and is not recommended for
installation on drywall.
3.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Installation should be performed to meet all relevant local Electrical Codes.
The EARTH GROUND screw must be connected to earth ground.
The power cord comes pre-installed. To preserve the IP68 rating of the unit,
cables must be rated for exterior use, and the following procedures should
be followed. You will need a 24mm wrench.
1. For each port used, remove the cover, seal and seal compression
fingers from the unit, and thread them in that order over the end of the
cable. Attach the RJ45 plug.
2. Install the RJ45 connector, tab “down”. It should click into place.
Replace cover and tighten.
If Fiber is being used for the LAN connection, you may need the extender
provided to accommodate the fiber termination length, which should also
be installed before the fiber is terminated.
For some SFP modules, you will need to remove the base of the gland from
the enclosure and replace it after the SFP module is installed. Be sure not to
damage the sealing O-ring.

mode or shipment. To put the unit in storage mode, first disconnect the AC
power. The AC POWER status should change from ON to OFF. Then press the
“STORAGE MODE” button. Confirm that you want to put the unit into storage
mode. The unit will turn off. All connected loads will be turned off. The page
will stop responding. The unit is now in storage mode.
POWER STATUS
AC POWER reads ON and is green when present, OFF and is red when absent.
MAX CAPACITY indicates the total installed battery capacity. It is in multiples
of 350WH.
REMAINING CAPACITY when AC power is present indicates the capacity to
which the batteries are currently charged.When AC power is absent, it shows
the amount of capacity remaining.
RESOURCE LEVEL is the ratio of remaining capacity to max capacity
expressed as a percentage.
EST TIME is the estimated battery run time while running at the current load
indicated in the Port Power and Status fields.
EST EXTENDED TIME is the estimated battery run time when the Programmed
Shutdown levels are set.
PORT STATUS
STATUS is 1 if the port is providing PoE power, 0 if not. POWER displays the
power taken by each port. NETWORK displays the port speed, whether the
port is providing power on not.
PROGRAMMED SHUTDOWN allows the user to set capacity thresholds at
which, during absence of AC power, each PoE port will be turned off. This
enables essential services to be maintained for as long as possible in the
event of a prolonged power outage.
UNIT CONFIGURATION
The unit is shipped and stored with the batteries de-activated. In this
state, the unit can be stored for up to 3 months if kept in the temperature
range -20°C and +50°C. To “wake up” the unit, plug it into an AC outlet.
Once awake, the unit will stay awake until it is either put in storage mode
again, or the batteries run flat without AC power. Depending on the storage
capacity installed, their charge status, and any load, the batteries will be
flat in anywhere between a few hours to a few weeks.
To put the unit back into storage mode, you should be connected to it with
a computer. Please see later for complete details.
To configure the unit, connect a computer with a web browser to the unit.
