This manual contains important instructions for your SOLA 320
UPS that should be followed during installation and maintenance
of the UPS and batteries.
The installation and use of this product must comply with all
national, federal, state, municipal, or local codes that apply. For

!CAUTION!
Whenever the unit’s On/Off switch is “On”, there may be
dangerous voltage present at the unit’s outlets. This is
true because the unit’s battery supplies power even if the
unit is not plugged into the wall outlet. The unit contains
dangerous voltages.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, intall the SOLA 320
UPS in a temperature controlled and humidity controlled
indoor area free of conductive contaminants.
The power supply cord is intended to serve as the
disconnect device. The socket-outlet shall be near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
All servicing of this equipment must be performed by
qualified service personnel.
Before maintenance or repair, all connections must be
removed. Before maintenance, repair or shipment, the
unit must be completely switched off and unplugged or
disconnected.

Quick Startup
1Connect the input cord to the back of the unit. Plug the unit
into a wall outlet.
2Let the unit charge the battery for 8 hours. You may use the
unit while the battery charges. However, the battery backup
runtime will be reduced until the battery is fully charged.
3Press the On/Off switch to turn the unit on. The unit will beep,
all of the front panel LEDs will light for a moment, the unit will
beep again, the yellow battery light will light and then the
green line LED will come on. The green line LED should
remain on. If not, see the Troubleshooting section on page 6.
4Switch off the load equipment and plug it into the outlets on
the back of the SOLA 320 UPS.
5Switch on the load equipment one piece at a time.
6The Telephone/Network Surge Protection jacks will protect
equipment (phone, fax,
modem, or 10BASE-T
network connection) that
utilizes an RJ-11 or RJ-45
connection. Plug the single
telephone line or 10BASE-
T network connection into
the surge protection jacks
on the back of the SOLA
320 UPS. Use a phone
jumper cable and your
existing cable to connect
your equipment. Network
cabling is not provided. This connection is optional. It is not
needed to use the SOLA 320 UPS.
