Press Release Summary:
Hot-swappable S5K modular UPS allows users to increase ratings from 4 to 16 kVA, boost run-times, and add N+x parallel redundancy. Applications include data handling systems, network servers, enterprise telecommunications systems, LAN gateways, and RAID arrays. Each modular component, including 4kVA power modules, battery modules, and system control modules, are hot-swappable, so changes can be made while providing power protection to load.

Sola/Hevi-Duty UPS Features Hot-Swappable Modular Design to Allow Field Upgrades
SKOKIE, IL, April 11, 2002 -- To ensure customers of maximum uptime and total protection from unexpected power disruptions, Sola/Hevi-Duty, a leading supplier of power quality solutions, has introduced its new S5K Modular, an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) with the scalability required for dynamic, fast-growth environments. By taking advantage of the S5K Modular's convenient field upgradeability, users can increase VA ratings from 4 to 16kVA, significantly boost run-times, and add N+x parallel redundancy.
The S5K Modular's scalability optimizes it for large-scale data handling systems, such as network servers, enterprise telecommunications systems, LAN gateways and RAID arrays, said Mike Johnson, Product Manager, Sola/Hevi-Duty, who noted that budget-conscious IT departments will greatly appreciate the S5K Modular not only for its reliability, but because it maximizes return on their technology investment by encouraging a longer service life.
MODULES PROMOTE COST-EFFECTIVE GROWTH Just a few standard modules are all that's needed to expand the S5K Modular, allowing it to grow alongside the systems it protects - a more cost-effective alternative than purchasing a newer, more expensive UPS.
Each of the modular components, including the 4kVA power modules, battery modules and system control modules, are hot-swappable, making it simple to increase power, extend backup runtime, or add redundancy while still providing superior power protection to the load.
The modules feature self-diagnostic capabilities to simplify maintenance and trouble-shooting. In the event a module should fail, it automatically takes itself off-line while the other modules continue to support the connected equipment.
Depending on the user's need for expansion or redundancy, Sola/Hevi-Duty offers its S5K Modular UPS in a choice of two chassis to build on: the 3A2 chassis, which accommodates up to 8 modules, and the 3B2 chassis, which has the capacity for up to 12 modules. In most standard (non-redundant) applications the 3A2 chassis provides sufficient expansion capabilities.
Other features contributing to the outstanding performance of the Sola/Hevi-Duty S5K Modular UPS include: multiple and simultaneous communication ports; a variable input voltage range that minimizes battery operation resulting in increased battery life; an automatic internal bypass for maximum availability of output power; continuous sinewave output to allow full compatibility with a wide variety of power supplies; and power factor corrected input to reduce reflected distortion while optimizing utility power.
WARRANTY
The Sola/Hevi-Duty Modular UPS is backed by a two-year limited warranty including factory start-up, on-site labor and parts.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The Sola/Hevi-Duty Modular UPS is expected to ship first quarter 2002. List pricing will vary depending on VA rating and options selected.
