How to install Minuteman EXR Series Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply

• Unbox and inspect the unit for any signs of shipping damage. Verify all included cables and external battery packs (if applicable) are present.
• Choose a well-ventilated, dry location away from direct heat sources. Place the UPS on a stable surface with enough clearance for cooling and easy access to outlets.
• Position critical devices on the battery-backed outlets and non-critical devices on surge-only outlets (if available) to maximize protection where it matters most during an outage.
• Connect the UPS to a dedicated AC wall outlet using the provided power cord. Do not run other heavy loads on the same circuit during initial setup.
• Attach any external battery packs if you plan to expand runtime. The EXR Series will recognize compatible packs automatically and integrate them into the available runtime calculations.
• Connect the protected devices to the UPS outlets, then connect the UPS to your computer or monitoring device via USB or other supported communications ports as applicable.
• Power on the UPS and allow it to run a brief self-test if prompted. Calibrate the battery (where applicable) by fully charging and then discharging under supervision to establish a baseline.
• Install any recommended management software and configure basic parameters such as auto-shutdown thresholds, notification preferences, and surge protection settings to align with your operational policies.
• Test a controlled outage to verify that the critical equipment immediately switches to battery power, that runtime is being tracked, and that you can perform a graceful shutdown when needed.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What environments is the Minuteman EXR Series best suited for?
  A: The EXR Series is designed for a wide range of environments, including small data centers, server rooms, network closets, office workstations, and home labs needing reliable power protection with expandable runtime.
• Q: Does the EXR Series provide true sinewave output?
  A: Yes. The EXR Series delivers true sinewave power to protect sensitive electronics and ensure smooth operation of connected devices.
