1.4 Operating Modes

The SolaHD S5KC UPS is a true online double-conversion system, having the following operating
modes:

•Normal Mode

• Backup Mode

•Auto Restart Mode

• Bypass Mode

Normal Mode

The power module rectifiers derive power from a utility AC source and supply regulated DC power to
the inverter. The module’s inverter regenerates precise AC power to supply the connected equipment.
The battery charger is in the power module and maintains a float-charge on the batteries of the UPS;
additionally, the optional charger module can also charge the batteries to maintain a quicker
recharge time for long backup time applications.

Backup Mode

When AC utility fails, the connected equipment is supplied power by the inverter, which obtains
energy from the battery modules. The output power will not be interrupted during the failure or
restoration of the AC utility/mains source.

Auto Restart Mode

Product Introduction

After a power outage and complete battery discharge, and once AC utility is restored, the UPS will
automatically restart and resume supplying power to connected equipment. This feature is enabled at
the factory, but can be disabled by the user. The user can also program two auto restart delay settings
from the LCD:

• Battery capacity level (%)

• Countdown timer

Bypass Mode

The bypass provides an alternate path for power to the connected equipment and operates in the
following manner:

• Automatic: In the event of an internal fault or should the inverter overload capacity be exceeded,
the UPS performs an automatic transfer of the connected equipment from the inverter to the
bypass source.

• Manual: Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance or repair,
manual activation of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the
inverter to the bypass source.

Each power module is an independent 5kVA unit, consisting of a power factor corrected rectifier,
battery charger and inverter, with associated monitoring and control circuitry. The modules are
connected in parallel for greater capacity and/or redundancy.

The power modules may be added or replaced on-line with no interruption or danger to the connected
equipment or user.

1.5.5 Battery Module

The battery module is shown in Figure 10.

Product Introduction

Figure 10 Battery module appearance

When AC utility fails, the battery module will supply power to the load. Each battery module contains
six individual 12V, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery blocks. Two battery modules are
connected in series to form a battery string.

Each battery module has monitoring and controls to isolate the battery module in the event of a
battery failure. The battery strings are connected in parallel to provide backup time and/or
redundancy.

NOTE

Two battery modules must be installed in the same row to make a complete battery string.

The battery modules may be added or replaced on-line with no interruption or danger to the
connected equipment, provided that the UPS is not operating on battery.

Under normal operation, the green status LED will blink continuously and the yellow fault LED will
be Off. For any other condition, refer to 5.0 - Troubleshooting.
