Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power. For ease of use, the S4K2U UPS features a light-emitting diode (LED) display to indicate either load percentage or battery capacity depending upon the mode of operation. It also provides self-diagnostic...
The amount of distortion reflected on the utility is reduced. This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building not being protected by the S4K2U UPS. NVERTER In normal operation, the inverter utilizes the DC output of the power factor correction circuit and inverts it into precise, regulated sinewave AC power.
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 S4K2U UPS is plugged in, even when the UPS is not turned on. DC C...

The UPS is heavy (see Specifications section). Take proper precautions when lifting or moving it. 2. Decide where to place the S4K2U UPS. Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned off. Place it in an area of unrestricted airflow around the unit, away from water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, and conductive contaminants.

8. Secure front of the equipment to rack mounting rails to prevent the equipment from sliding out of position. If securing holes are provided on front of the equipment that align with the center holes on return flange of front members, you can use the four (4) extra M5 screws provided in this kit to secure the equipment.
ATTERY ABINET NSTALLATION Optional Sola/Hevi-Duty external battery cabinets may be connected to the UPS to provide additional battery run time. External battery cabinets are designed to be placed all on one side of the UPS or stacked beneath the UPS. There is no limit to the number of external battery cabinets that can be used but each cabinet will increase the battery recharge time.
ON - Pressing this button will start up the UPS in order to provide conditioned and protected power. Alarm Silence - To silence alarms, press this button for at least one second. After the alarm is silenced, the S4K2U UPS will reactivate the alarm system to alert of additional problems. NOTE The LOW BATTERY and BYPASS reminder alarms CANNOT be silenced.
UPS; and during battery mode operation LED indicators display approximate battery capacity. The S4K2U UPS is equipped with automatic and remote battery test features. The automatic test occurs every 14 days (this option is user configurable) if utility has not been interrupted. Should the battery fail this test, the red Fault indicator LED along with the A and C diagnostic LEDs will illuminate and an alarm will sound (refer to Troubleshooting section).
The Output Voltage is user configurable, and is designed to allow selecting or changing the desired output voltage to match the utility via the S4K2U Configuration Program provided with the UPS. The settings to choose from are 100, 110, 115, 120, and 127 VAC output. The factory default setting is 120 VAC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ORMAL PERATION During normal operation, utility power provides energy to the UPS. The filters, power factor correction circuit and the inverter process this power to provide computer grade power AC INPUT BATTERY UPS ON BYPASS to connected loads. The UPS maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.
COMMUNICATIONS OMMUNICATIONS NTERFACE The S4K2U UPS contains a standard DB-9 serial port female connector located on the rear of the UPS unit. Several signals are provided on this port and are assigned as follows: Assignment Description Low Battery (open collector)

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 shutdown. 4. If 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.
UPS firmware version) that does not support the modification of these settings, the Options tab will display a reminder of the factory default settings. These cannot be changed. UPS I NTELLIGENT OMMUNICATIONS The S4K2U UPS is equipped with an Intellislot port to provide advanced ® communication and monitoring options. ™ MultiLink software continually monitors the UPS and can shut down your computer or server in the event of an extended power failure.
CONFIGURATION PROGRAM This is a new feature included with the new S4K2U UPS line. Several UPS settings that were previously not available or required custom manufacturing may now be modified using this program. For most users, the factory default settings will be adequate. This manual illustrates the features available for modification, as well as the factory default setting.
UPS in for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries. The S4K2U UPS is designed to allow the user to safely replace the internal batteries. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your local distributor or Sola/Hevi-Duty representative to obtain the appropriate replacement battery kit part number and pricing.
Compare new and old battery assemblies to make sure they are the same. If so, proceed with Step 6; otherwise STOP and contact your local distributor, Sola/Hevi-Duty representative, or Sola/Hevi-Duty Technical Support Group. 6. Line up and slide in the new replacement battery pack.
EPLACEMENT CAUTION Before changing the input fuse, turn off the UPS, and unplug the supply lead from the AC input supply. Replace the fuse with the same type and rating. 1. Remove the input fuse from the fuse holder on the rear of the unit. 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING The information below indicates various symptoms a user may encounter in the event the S4K2U UPS develops a problem. Use this information to determine whether external factors caused the problem and how to remedy the situation. 1. The Fault indicator will illuminate, indicating the UPS detected a problem.
