The Answer in Power Protection
SOLA 610 UPS Installation
Electrical equipment is often rated in VA (volt-amps). This
represents the rated voltage times the rated current, i.e. 230
Volts x 2 Amp = 460VA.
Check your equipment for the manufacturer’s label. This label
should state the equipment’s desired operating voltage (V) and
current (A) drawn by the equipment. The manufacturer’s label is
usually found on the external rear or underside of the equipment,
or in the handbook or operator’s manual.
Most computers and their related components are rated at
"worst case", with all of the expansion slots or bays fully loaded
at low line voltage, so your actual load is probably less than the
load indicated by the manufacturer.
2.1 IntroductionandProduct Description
2.2 Sizing your Load
An Uninterruptible Power System is designed to connect between
your utility supply wall outlet or distribution board
and your critical load. Its function is to continually
monitor the availability and quality of the electrical
supply and to recreate the mains voltage to remain
within the UPS specifications, as detailed for each
model.
Your SOLA 610 is an advanced true on-line sine
wave UPS with bypass line, utilising double
conversion technology.
The utility power enters the UPS where it is
rectified to a DC voltage which will float charge the
battery as well as run the DC to AC inverter. The
inverter generates the true sine wave output,
recreating the utility supply voltage. A bypass path
is provided through a transfer switch, should the
UPS become overloaded or an inverter fault occur.
Because the UPS is an on-line design, conditioned power is provided
continuously to your load. During an electrical power failure, the unit
employs its internal maintenance free battery to supply continuous
power for as long as the battery is capable. The UPS autonomy after
a power failure will depend on (a) the size of the UPS and the load of
your equipment (b) the size of the battery used (either the standard
internal battery or external battery pack options), and (c) the state of
the battery and battery charge when the power failure occurs.
Batteries have a finite life that can be affected by excessive use and/
or high ambient temperatures. Under normal operation, you should
expect a 3-5 year life from your UPS battery.

The Answer in Power Protection
SOLA 610 UPS Installation
The SOLA 610 UPS is designed to power all modern computer
equipment “loads”. The UPS output is specifically designed to
work with switching power supplies found in today's
microprocessor-based equipment.
SOLA does not recommend protecting laser printers
with this UPS. Laser printers have a heating cycle
which provides adhesion of the toner to the paper.
This heating cycle draws large amounts of electrical
current and will overload your UPS.
Most laser printers are not mission critical and can
therefore be protected with a power conditioner rather
than a UPS. Just be sure that the power conditioner
you purchase can accommodate the high inrush
currents of a laser printer. If your printer is mission-
critical and you want to protect it with a UPS, the UPS
must be sized to accommodate the high peak current
surge of the printer.
Although the packaging for your SOLA 610 was designed
specifically for this unit and serves it well in protecting the unit
from damage, you should unpack the unit immediately
and check for signs of concealed damage that may
have occurred in transit. Concealed damage is damage
that may not be apparent by the outside appearance of
the packaging.
In case of damage, please notify the delivering carrier
at once to examine the goods, regardless of the
external condition of the boxes. Under U.S. Shipping
Regulations, damage claims must be collected by the
consignee. Once your claim is established, damaged
merchandise may be returned for repair (see Page 33
for Return Policy). Do not return shipping-damaged
merchandise until after your claim has been
established with the carrier.
Do not destroy packing material or boxes until the
carrier's agent has examined them. Save all
packaging materials in case reshipment of the UPS
is required. Any damage sustained in transit when
shipped from the user, especially in an incorrect
container, will not be covered under warranty.
2.3 Types of Loads
2.4 Laser Printers and your UPS
2.5 Unpacking your UPS

The Answer in Power Protection
SOLA 610 UPS Installation
Your UPS should be in a controlled environment. A controlled
environment is one that is indoor, temperature-controlled and free of
conductive or semi-conductive contaminants.The SOLA 610 is
intended for indoor use only. There should be adequate ventilation and
the location should be free of dust and fumes. Do not install the unit next
to open windows where uncontrolled environmental conditions could
affect the unit. Do not install the unit in any type of enclosure without first
calling SOLA Technical Support. The unit must have unrestricted air flow.
CAUTION
The environmental specifications shown in Table 1
(below) show the temperature and humidity limits of
the UPS. Do not exceed these limits.
2.6 UPSLocations
ENVIRONMENTALSPECIFICATIONS
Ambient Operating < 1500 m 0oC to 40oC (32oF to 104oF)
Temperature 1500 - 3000 m 10oC to 35oC
Ambient Storage All Models: -15oC to 40oC (5oF to 104oF)
Humidity All Models: 20% to 95%, non condensing
Altitude All Models: 8,000 feet (2500M) max.
To optimise the performance of your UPS we
recommend you ensure the battery is fully charged
before you use the UPS to support your critical load.
To recharge the battery, place the UPS close to a wall
outlet and connect the matching line cord to the UPS
receptacle then plug it into the wall socket. For units
that have hardwired connections, have your electrical
contractor install the UPS wiring.
When power is supplied to the UPS (without operating
any front panel switches), the UPS will go through a
short test sequence, and the cooling fan will start.
On the front panel the line indicator and the
bypass indicator will illuminate. At this time there
is power available at the output sockets.

The Answer in Power Protection
SOLA 610 UPS Installation
Note
The battery backup feature of the UPS is
not available in this mode. See 3.1
“Switching on the UPS” to enable the
battery backup mode.
In this mode, (and normal UPS operating mode) recharging
occurs automatically and will take 10 hours if the batteries are
completely discharged. As UPS units are normally delivered with
charged batteries, providing the UPS has not been in storage for
a long time, it will not take long for the battery to reach full
capacity.
CAUTION
IN ALL CONDITIONS, if the UPS is connected
to a live supply, AC POWER IS PRESENT AT
THE UPS RECEPTACLES (or output terminals)
The front panel OFF/ON does NOT control the
delivery of power to the output receptacles.
All units, excluding the 700VA model, can be fitted
with an external battery option to increase the
autonomy when the UPS is operating during a mains
failure. Refer Section 4.1 for selection of external
battery options for your specific UPS.
On the rear of each of the UPS units 1-3kVA capacity
you will find an external battery receptacle. If you
have purchased an external battery option, it will be
supplied with an interconnecting cable to connect into
this receptacle. Use only the matching battery option
for your UPS rating. Using the incorrect battery option
may cause damage to your UPS system. Once
connected, your UPS will maintain the charge in the
external battery providing the utility mains is available.

The Answer in Power Protection
SOLA 610 UPS Installation
Your UPS is fitted with a DB9 communications
connector on the rear panel. From this connector,
you can access opto coupled outputs indicating
mains failure or low battery.
Alternatively, RS232 serial communications is
available. This RS232 provides a proprietary
command sequence for the computer to monitor the
utility and the UPS status and to control the UPS
output. The data format of the RS232 is 2400bps, 8
bit data, 1 stop bit and no parity.
The battery test mode is also available through the RS232
command sequence whilst the UPS is operating and the
power is normal. During the test, the 4 LED’s (line, bypass,
battery and inverter) will light alternatively until the test is
completed.
Each UPS is supplied with a package of CHECKUPS II®
Advanced UPS communications software. This package
includes the correct interconnection cable for your SOLA 610
UPS. If your computer does not have a DB9 connector on
the serial port, use a standard DB9-DB25 adaptor, available
at most computer accessory stores. The CD-ROM provided
with your UPS includes software for many standard operating
systems and detailed manuals in Adobe Acrobat format. All
utilities required to read and/or print the manuals are included
on the CD-ROM. Refer to section 4.2 & 4.3 for more details
of CheckUPS II® and it’s capabilities.
If you have purchased an AS400® card option, this will be
installed in the communications slot. Be careful to connect
your AS400® interface cable to the correct DB9 connector.
Refer to Section 4.4 for more details of the AS400® card
option.
If you have purchased an SNMP option card, this will be
fitted into the communications slot. Only one (1) card, either
AS40® or SNMP can be fitted into the slot at any one time.
Refer Section 4.5 for more details of the SNMP Card option.

The Answer in Power Protection
SOLA 610 UPS Operation
Inverter
After completing the installation and battery
recharge, switch on the UPS by pressing the front
panel switch ‘I’. The unit will now commence a
system check sequence before establishing it’s
own inverter power.
Firstly, all the Load Level LEDs will illuminate
together then one by one. Within a few seconds the
Inverter indicator will illuminate, indicating the
inverter has now started and the bypass indicator
will extinguish indicating that the UPS is now in
normal mode.
120V Models only - If during the test sequence the
Line indicator flashes instead of remaining
constant, you have a wiring fault and the line and
neutral conductors are reversed.
If the Line indicator flashes and the battery
indicator illuminates at the same time, your
incoming utility AC source voltage and/or frequency
is out of the UPS specification. The UPS is drawing
energy from the batteries.
You may now start the critical equipment that you
connected to the UPS. If the load level indicator
exceeds 100% and the audible alarm sounds twice
per second, you have plugged too many items into
the UPS and overloaded it. Remove the non critical
items and check the load level indicators.
When the utility AC source fails, the UPS will
continue to deliver output to the UPS receptacle
from the internal or external batteries and the UPS
inverter. When this occurs, an audible alarm will
sound every 4 seconds and the “line” indicator will
extinguish. The battery indicator will be illuminated
to show that the battery is now being discharged.
The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the
“I” push button on the front panel. If the battery
continues to discharge until the low battery charge
point is reached, the audible alarm will sound
again. At any time, the audible alarm can be
reactivated by pressing the “on” switch on the front
panel.

the UPS will automatically commence the recharging of the
battery. The battery indicator will go out and the UPS will return
tonormal operation.
Your SOLA 610 UPS is fitted with 10 indicators to provide you
with a simple but comprehensive explanation of the UPS status,
The function of these LED indicators are detailed below:-

This will illuminate when a fault condition
occurs in the UPS. At this time the
audible alarm will sound continuously.
This will illuminate when the UPS is
overloaded.
These perform two functions during different
operating modes of the UPS. When utility AC
mains is present, these will show the
equipment load connect as a percentage of
the UPS capacity in 25% increments.
When the UPS is in battery mode, these
lights will show the amount of battery
capacity remaining as a percentage of the
full battery capacity in 25% increments.
This light illuminates when the bypass line is
in use and the UPS power is being sourced
directly from the utility AC supply. When
starting the UPS the bypass line will always
be in service with the light illuminated until
the inverter has started and accepted the
load.
This light will illuminate when there is normal
AC voltage entering the UPS from the utility
supply.
This light illuminates during mains failure,
showing that the battery is discharging.
This inverter light should be on during
normal (utility available) or mains failure
mode. When OFF, the UPS cannot provide
battery backup power.

SOLA 610 UPS Optional Features
To install the AS 400® card complete the following :-
1. Shutdown the UPS, turn the UPS OFF and remove the
input line cord from the wall socket. If the UPS is hard
wired, isolate the UPS at the supply point and make safe.
CAUTION : Even with the UPS switched off
dangerous voltages may still be present at
the UPS or its outlets.
2. Remove the communications slot cover on the rear of the
UPS by removing the two retaining screws. Slide the
AS400® card option into the slot and secure it with
supplied screws.
3. Store the communications slot cover plate for
reinstallation should the AS400® card option be removed
and decommissioned in the future.
4. The AS400® card will now be operational when the UPS
is turned on and returned to service.

A plug with link is supplied with the AS400® card option. This
plug must be installed for normal operation. If this plug is
removed, the load will be transferred to bypass.
The plug is removed only in applications where an external
maintenance bypass switch is used (refer to instructions
provided with the optional external maintenance bypass switch).
