System Description ntroduction and yStem deScription C ongratulations on your choice of the Sola/Hevi-Duty S4K6U10000 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). It provides conditioned power to microcomputers and other sensitive electronic equipment. U pon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during transmission and distribution it is subject to voltage sags, spikes or complete power failure that may interrupt computer operations, cause data loss or even damage equipment. The S4K6U10000 protects equipment from these disturbances. T he S4K6U10000 is a compact, on-line UPS. An on-line UPS continuously conditions and regulates its output voltage whether utility power is present or not. It supplies connected equipment with clean sinewave power. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power. F or ease of use, the S4K6U10000 features a light-emitting diode (LED) display to indicate both load percentage and battery capacity. It also provides self-diagnostic tests, a combination ON/Alarm Silence/Battery Test button, a Standby button, user configurable program and two levels of alarms when the unit is operating on battery. T he S4K6U10000 has an interface port for communication between the UPS and a network server or other computer systems. This port provides detailed operating information including voltages, currents and alarm status to the host system when used in conjunction with MultiLink™ software. MultiLink software can also control UPS operation remotely.
DC to DC Converter Battery Battery Charger Transient voltage Surge Suppression (TvSS) and EMI/RFI Filters These UPS components provide surge protection and filter both electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). They minimize any surges or interference present in the utility line and keep the sensitive equipment protected. 3.2 Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit In normal operation, the rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit converts utility AC power to regulated DC power for use by the inverter while ensuring that the wave shape of the input current used by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting this sinewave input current achieves two objectives: • The utility power is used as efficiently as possible by the UPS. • The amount of distortion reflected on the utility is reduced. T his results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building not being protected by the S4K6U10000. Inverter I n normal operation, the inverter utilizes the DC output of the power factor correction circuit and inverts it into precise, regulated sinewave AC power. Upon a utility power failure, the inverter receives energy from the battery through the DC to DC converter. In both modes of operation, the UPS inverter is on-line and continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC output power. Battery Charger The battery charger utilizes energy from the utility power and precisely regulates it to continuously float charge the batteries. The batteries are being charged whenever the S4K6U10000 is plugged in, even when the UPS is not turned on.
System Description DC to DC Converter The DC to DC converter utilizes energy from the battery system and raises the DC voltage to the optimum operating voltage for the inverter. This allows the inverter to operate continuously at its optimum efficiency and voltage, thus increasing reliability. Battery The S4K6U10000 utilizes valve-regulated, non-spillable, flame retardant, lead acid batteries. To maintain battery design life, operate the UPS in an ambient temperature of 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Optional external battery cabinets are available to extend battery run times. Dynamic Bypass The S4K6U10000 provides an alternate path for utility power to the connected load in the unlikely event of a UPS malfunction. Should the UPS have an overload, over temperature or UPS failure condition, the UPS automatically transfers the connected load to bypass. Bypass operation is indicated by an audible alarm and illuminated amber Bypass indicator (other indicators may be illuminated to indicate the diagnosed problem). T he user may manually transfer the connected load from the inverter to bypass by pressing the Standby button once. NOTE The bypass power path does NOT protect the connected equipment from disturbances on the utility supply.

initial Startup and electrical Checks nitial tartup and lectrical heckS Initial Startup and the Configuration Program—The UPS ships with a default 120 VAC L-N setting. This is also the most robust setting in that it can operate with either input phase angle (120 or 180 degrees). Perform initial system checks first. If the UPS configuration needs to be modified for your application, then go to the next section to review use of the configuration program. Some configuration changes require that the UPS be in the OFF mode while powered from the utility. Therefore, the installer must confirm that the UPS input has been properly wired. After re-configuring your UPS, the UPS may be put into service with the intended loads. hardwire Input Connections WaRNING Miswiring power to the input terminal block (L1-L2-N-G) or connecting to single-phase voltages (L-N-G only) may damage the UPS. 1 .

For most users operating with 120 VAC L-N, the factory default settings will be adequate. This manual illustrates the features available for modification, as well as the factory default setting. The factory default L-N setting is 120 VAC. When first powered by the AC input, the UPS will auto sense the utility phase angle between L1 and L2, setting the UPS to operate as either a 120/208 VAC system (120 degrees, leading or lagging) or a 120/240 VAC system (180 de- grees). If your application requires that the L1-N, L2-N voltages be set at 100, 110,115 or 127 VAC, the corresponding phase angle between L1 and L2 is restricted. The VAC settings of 100, 110 and 115 may work only with a phase angle of 180 degrees. A VAC setting of 127 VAC will work only with a phase angle of 120 degrees (leading or lagging). To confirm the phase angle of the utility input, measure the L1-N, L2-N and L1 L2 VAC of the utility input that is intended for the UPS. If the measured L1-L2 voltage is equal to the average L-N voltage times 2.0, then the phase angle is 180 degrees and the L-N VAC maybe set at 100, 110, 115 or 120 VAC. The nominal L1-L2 voltages for these four settings will be 200, 220, 230 or 240 VAC, respectively. If the measured L1-L2 voltage is equal to the average L-N voltage times 1.73, then the phase angle is 120 degrees and the L-N VAC maybe set at either 120 or 127 VAC. The nominal L1-L2 voltages for these two settings will be 208 or 220 VAC, respectively. Selecting a L-N nominal voltage that is not compatible with the L1-L2 phase angle detected by the UPS when AC input is applied will result in a fault alarm and the UPS will not operate from utility power. S4K6U10000 Configuration Program Features T he configuration program enables the user to perform the following functions: 1. Select one of five input/output voltages to match voltages found around the world. 2. Disable Auto-Restart. 3. Disable the Line-Neutral-Reversed/Missing-Ground receptacle wiring alarm.

2. P in 4 requires a 5-12 VDC signal to shutdown. This normally comes form the serial port using Sola/Hevi-Duty’s contact closure cable. It cannot be used with just a contact closure unless the relay is used to switch a voltage source. A 5-12 VDC signal for 1.5 seconds or greater is required to signal a shutdown. Signals for less than 1.5 seconds will be ignored. After Pin 4 receives a shutdown signal for 1.5 seconds, the command cannot be canceled. 3. A battery shutdown signal on Pin 4 will NOT cause an immediate Shutdown. A shutdown signal will start a 2-minute shutdown timer. The timer cannot be stopped. After 2 minutes, the UPS will shut down. 4. I f the utility returns during the 2-minute timer countdown, the shutdown timer will continue until the end of 2 minutes and the UPS will turn OFF. The UPS must remain OFF for at least 10 seconds even if AC input power Returns before the UPS turns OFF. This serves to reset and restart the server. Whether the UPS turns back ON when power is restored depends on the auto-restart setting: enabled or disabled. If the auto-restart is disabled, the UPS will not restart after performing the 2-minute shutdown delay. 11.3 UpS Intelligent Communications T he S4K6U10000 is equipped with an Intellislot® port to provide advanced communication and monitoring options. Sola/Hevi-Duty’s MultiLink software continually monitors the UPS and can shut down your computer or server in the event of an extended power failure. MultiLink can also be configured for use without the serial cable when the Intellislot SNMP WEB CARD is installed in the UPS. Additionally, MultiLink can be configured to coordinate shutdown across the network with other computers running MultiLink when you purchase a MultiLink License Kit. For more information about the Intellislot SNMP WEB CARD and MultiLink License Kits, visit our Web site (www.solaheviduty.com) or contact your local distributor or Sola/Hevi-Duty representative. Several option cards are available for use in the Intellislot port of the S4K6U10000. The Intellislot “SNMp WEB CaRD” provides SNMP and Web-based monitoring and control of the UPS across the network.

Troubleshooting 13.1 auto-Learning Battery Run Times As batteries age, the estimated run times may become less accurate. The S4K6U10000 is programmed to “learn” from a full battery discharge and modify the estimated run time for the measured battery capacity. This can improve accuracy and compensate for aging batteries or batteries that operate at different ambient temperatures. The UPS will update the anticipated run time calculation only under certain conditions. • The UPS must have a steady load that is greater than 20%. • The UPS must be at 100% charge at the start of a battery discharge. • The battery discharge must continue uninterrupted until the batteries reach their end-of-discharge voltage. If all conditions are not met, the run time calculation will not be modified. If the configuration program is used to change the number of battery cabinets, then the values in the battery table on the right will be restored. This will override any value that is automatically learned.
