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.
UPS and poser problems. SOLA may tell you the UPS must be returned. If this happens, we will give you a Return Authorisation (RA) number. When you return a SOLA 520 Rackmount to the factory for any reason, please use the original packing material in which your unit was shipped to you.
For assistance, call SOLA Service or your local SOLA office. If the SOLA unit has been damaged during shipment, call your vendor immediately. If the SOLA unit is stored, the batteries should be recharged every 6 months. If stored above Celsius, recharge the batteries more often.
UPS Features The SOLA 520 Rackmount provides protection against power problems, including power out- ages, brownouts, and sudden increases in power. It also provides spike suppression and line noise filtering to protect your equipment. Front panel LEDs and an audible alarm keep you aware of the unit’s status.

Rack Installation Mount the SOLA 520 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.
Quick Startup Your SOLA 520 Rackmount UPS has a removable power cord. Connect the power cord to the back of the unit and plug the UPS into a wall outlet. Let the unit charge the battery for at least 3 hours (7 hours for 1425 VA model if it is fully loaded).
See Table 2 for information about beep coding. In the figure below, bucking means that SOLA 520 Rackmount is reducing high input voltage, and boosting means SOLA 520 Rackmount is increasing low input voltage.

BestLink SNMP/WEB adapter. The insertion of a card into the BestDock communication slot replaces the normal communication channel from the SOLA 520 Rackmount DB-9 Communication Port. The DB-9 port becomes the connection point for configuring the card in the BestDock.
SOLA Service or your local SOLA office. Please have the model number and serial number (located on the rear of the unit) available. If the unit must be returned, SOLA will give you a Return Authorisation (RA) number. Phone SOLA for an RA number before returning the unit for any reason.
Replacing the Batteries The SOLA 520 Rackmount batteries are user-replaceable and can be replaced while the SOLA 520 Rackmount has AC input applied and powers the loads. 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.
SOLA 520 Rackmount. Then, turn off the SOLA 520 Rackmount and disconnect the line cord. Use the drawings below to identify the location on the battey pack in the model SOLA 520 Rackmount that you have.
Use the screws removed earlier to re-install the interior panel to the battery chamber and the exterior panel to the front panel. If you followed the option in step 2: Reconnect the line cord to the SOLA 520 Rackmount and turn the unit on.
Typical Runtime (minutes): 750 and 1050VA Models: Full load: 6 minutes. Half load: 19 minutes. 1425VA Models: Full load: 5 minutes. Half load: 17 minutes. 2250VA Models: Full load 5 minutes. Half load: 16 minutes. Transfer Time: 4 ms typical. SOLA Never Stops Innovating...

Automatic Battery Test: Automatic battery test occurs upon startup and every 14 days thereafter. Alarm will sound if the battery fails this test. Battery Recharge Time (to 95% of capacity): 750 VA, 1050 VA, 1425 VA, and 2250 VA:3 hours; 1425 VA: 7 hours with output fully loaded. Recharge time is lower with reduced load.
Do not change voltage settings when unit is operating on batteries. To change the values, follow these steps: 1. Press the button shown until LEDs on the front of the SOLA 520 Rackmount blink. After the LEDs blink, three will stay lit and the SOLA 520 Rackmount will beep for one second.

• When input voltage drops to 221, the SOLA 520 Rackmount begins to increase (boost) the output voltage. • 240 is the nominal or expected input voltage. • When input voltage rises to 254, the SOLA 520 Rackmount begins to decrease (buck) the output voltage.
1. SOLA products, in general, are warranted against failure due to faulty materials and/or workmanship for a period of two years from despatch date (ex SOLA store) as per invoice. The Ferroresonant and 95 Series Power Conditioners and SOLA Dry Type Transformers have an extended warranty - 5 years from date of despatch.
8. SOLA reserves the right to charge for replacement batteries if within the one year guarantee period replacement batteries are necessary as a result of misuse or misapplication by the pur- chaser or end user. SOLA Australia Offices Head Office - Melbourne SOLA Australia Ltd.
