It supplies connected equipment with clean sinewave power. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from sinewave power. For ease of use, the S4K4U6000 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.
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 S4K4U6000 is plugged in, even when the UPS is not turned on.
Optional external battery cabinets are available to extend battery run times. Dynamic Bypass The S4K4U6000 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, overtemperature or UPS failure condi- tion, the UPS automatically transfers the connected load to bypass.
Major Components AJOR OMPONENTS The S4K4U6000 is composed of three major assemblies to provide easier handling, installation and versatility. Main Frame and Electronics This 4U cabinet arrives without internal batteries to lighten the UPS for easier installation. Once the cabinet has been placed in its final floor or rack position, the internal batteries may be installed. The UPS is shipped with a hardwire distribution box with manual bypass switch.
Major Components Removable Power Distribution Box The UPS is shipped with a bypass hardwire power distribution pack installed. For maximum flexibil- ity, this may be easily replaced with either of two optional power distribution boxes that provide the benefits of hardwire input and output plus manual bypass switch or plug/receptacle convenience with manual bypass switch.

A grounding electrode conductor (GEC) must be installed in accordance with national and local wiring codes and regulations. Install the Internal Battery Pack To facilitate shipping and installation, the S4K4U6000 ships with- out the internal battery installed. Once the UPS is installed in place, Controls the internal battery pack must be installed.
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).
Initial Startup and Electrical Checks L14-30P Plug-in Connections—Including the S4KPAD-001 Distribution Box WARNING Miswiring power to the input (L1-L2-N-G) or connecting to single phase voltages (L-N-G only) may damage the UPS. A qualified electrician should verify that the L14-30R is properly wired before attaching the UPS.
8.1.1 What You Will Need In addition to the S4K4U6000 UPS, you will need the configuration program diskette and serial cable (beige or tan, three-wire: GND, TX, RX; straight through 2-2, 3-3, 5-5) included in the UPS accessory ®...
2. When you see this PreSetup window, select OK. This will open the main installation screen. 3. Click NEXT to continue installing the configuration program. Sola/Hevi-Duty recommends using the default installation options, but you will be given the option to make modifications to the standard entries.
Configuration Program Establishing Communication Link with the UPS Use only the serial communication cable supplied with the configuration program. If an accessory communication card has been installed in the UPS’s communication card slot, the option card must be removed while using the configuration program. Use the serial communication cable to connect your computer’s COM1 port to the DB-9 communica- tion port on the rear of the UPS.
Configuration Program Configuration Program—Operation 8.4.1 Read/Confirm UPS Configuration Settings The UPS settings may be monitored, but not changed, using the configuration program while the UPS is operating in any mode. If the program is only used to read the present UPS settings, close the pro- gram using the CANCEL button.
Configuration Program UPS Tab When the program starts, the following window will open displaying the UPS model along with the current UPS settings. This information can be updated at any time using the REFRESH button. Figure 4 Factory default settings for 120VAC UPS 8.5.1 Output Voltage The Output Voltage displayed is the nominal input/output voltage.
Configuration Program 8.5.4 Frequency Selection The UPS is normally designed for 50Hz or 60Hz operation. The factory default corresponds to the model. All models are capable of being used as 50Hz or 60Hz systems. The UPS will automatically sense the utility frequency when first plugged in and set the nominal frequency to match. Therefore, for all normal use the Auto Sense button should be selected.
Configuration Program Options Tab Used With Earlier S4K4U Models This version of the configuration program will accompany S4K4U UPS models that support new pro- gramming features accessible using the Options tab. If version 1.6 (or later) is used with an earlier S4K4U model (with an earlier UPS firmware version), the Any Mode Shutdown features cannot be changed.
Configuration Program Battery Tab Factory default settings illustrated. The boxes on the right show the available options using the drop-down selection boxes. 8.8.1 Low Battery Time Warning The UPS will estimate remaining operating time when on batteries. A low battery alarm is activated if the estimated time reaches the Low Battery 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 S4K4U6000 will reactivate the alarm system to alert of addi- tional problems. NOTE The LOW BATTERY and BYPASS reminder alarms CANNOT be silenced.
The Battery Level indicators display approximate battery capacity at all times. Each indicator repre- sents an approximate 20 percent increase in battery capacity. The S4K4U6000 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 along with the A and C diagnostic indicators will illumi- nate and an alarm will sound (refer to 13.0 - Troubleshooting).
Modes of Operation 10.0 M ODES OF PERATION 10.1 Normal Mode Operation 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 to connected loads. The UPS maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.
OMMUNICATIONS 11.1 Communications Interface Port The S4K4U6000 UPS has 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: Table 3 DB-9 pin assignment...

Several option cards are available for use in the Intellislot port of the S4K4U6000 The Intellislot SNMP WEB CARD provides SNMP and Web-based monitoring and control of the UPS across the net- work.
Communications 11.4 Remote Emergency Power Off The UPS is equipped with a Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) connector. The user must supply a means of interfacing with the REPO circuit to allow disconnecting the UPS input feeder breaker to remove all sources of power to the UPS and connected equipment to comply with national and local wiring codes and regulations.
Failure to recharge the batteries peri- odically will permanently degrade battery capacity. The S4K4U6000 is designed to allow the user to safely replace the internal batteries. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your local dealer or Sola/Hevi-Duty representative to obtain the appropriate replacement battery kit part number and pricing.
Maintenance 12.2 UPS Replacement When using a power distribution box with bypass, the UPS can be removed while powering the load through the Bypass Switch. NOTE During the procedure, the connected load will not be protected from power disturbances, such as spikes, sags and failure.

Troubleshooting Using the configuration program, the user may specify the number of S4K4U6000 external battery cabinets attached to the UPS. The factory default is programmed for internal batteries only. Table 7 shows estimated run times at different loads. Table 7...
13.1 Auto-Learning Battery Run Times As batteries age, the estimated run times may become less accurate. The S4K4U6000 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.
