Important Notice The UPS ground (earth) conductor carries leakage current from the loads in addition to any leakage current generated by the UPS. This UPS generates no more than 1 mA of current. To limit the total leakage current to 3.5 mA, the load leakage must be limited to 2.5 mA. The three- wire receptacle that you plug the UPS into must have a good (low-impedance) ground (protec- tive earth) connection to provide a safe path for leakage current.

If You Have a Question Customer Support If you have a question or problem, Table 3, Troubleshooting, may help. If you need more help, please have your UPS model number and serial number (on the back label) nearby, and call the SOLA office nearest you (see the SOLA offices section). SOLA’s service technicians have in-depth knowledge of the UPS and power problems.

Rack Installation Mount the Sola 620 Rackmount in a 19-inch (483-mm) EIA 310 C standard rack. Do not try to mount the unit if the rack is too wide. Do not rely on the front mountings only to support the weight of the unit. Install a stationary shelf or supporting angle brackets (available as standard rack hardware from electronics distributors) below the intended rack location for the Sola 620 Rackmount.
Wall Installation The Sola 620 Rackmount is shipped with screws and brackets to mount it to a wall surface. You must attach one bracket to each side of the UPS, and then mount the UPS to the wall. Install the UPS by following the instructions below.
Connection to External Battery Packs Before connecting the input power cord, connect all intended battery packs to the Sola 620 Rackmount by following the guidelines below. The battery packs for 1000 and 1500 VA units may be linked serially (daisy-chained) to a maximum of two packs.
Quick Startup Connect the power cord to the back of the unit. Plug the UPS into a wall outlet. Let the unit charge the battery for at least 8 hours. You may use the unit while the battery charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until the battery is fully charged. Start the Sola 620 Rackmount by pressing and holding the On/Standby button (large button in the center of the front panel) in for about one second.
Symbols, LEDs and Audible Alarms The front panel indicators (LEDs) and an audible beep indicate the unit status. The unit beeps whenever the unit is on battery power or an alarm exists. See Figure 1 for information about the LEDs and Table 1 for information about alarm displays. Figure 1: Front Panel LEDs Constant: Operating on Blinking: Operating in...

Replacing the Batteries (1000VA and 1500VA only) The Sola 620 Rackmount batteries are user-replaceable and can be replaced while the Sola 620 Rackmount has AC input applied and powers the loads (hot-swappable). This means that, if necessary, you can replace the batteries while the UPS is running. Before you replace the batteries, make sure that you read the safety information below.
Battery Replacement Instructions (1000VA and 1500VA only) Phone SOLA Service to order a replacement battery pack. It must be the same type and rating of the original batteries.
