Minuteman EXR Series Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply

The Minuteman EXR Series Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply is engineered for reliability, efficiency, and easy maintenance in demanding environments. Designed to protect essential electronics—from servers and networking gear to workstation setups and home lab rigs—the EXR series combines a smart power factor, adaptive runtime options, and a service-friendly design that minimizes downtime. With auto-recognition of external battery packs, tool-less battery connections, and robust line-interactive voltage regulation, the EXR series delivers clean, stable power during outages, sags, and transients, while helping you manage energy use and extend run times when it matters most. Whether deployed in a data closet, a small business office, or a home office, this UPS provides the balance of protection, performance, and practicality that modern equipment demands.

• Efficient power factor for lower operating costs — The EXR Series is engineered with a higher power factor to maximize real power delivery to connected equipment, reducing wasted energy, lowering heat generation, and helping save on electricity bills over the life of the unit.
• Smart runtime with external battery pack recognition — Expand run time intelligently by automatically recognizing compatible external battery packs. No guesswork required: the UPS optimizes runtime based on battery configurations to keep critical devices online longer during outages.
• Tool-less battery connection and easy replacement — Battery maintenance is fast and straightforward thanks to tool-free connectors. Swap, replace, or upgrade batteries with minimal downtime, ensuring the system stays protected without specialized tools or downtime-intensive service calls.
• Line-interactive protection with AVR and surge suppression — The EXR’s line-interactive design provides automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor voltage fluctuations, while offering robust surge and spike protection to shield sensitive electronics from power irregularities.
• Flexible deployment and proactive monitoring — Tower and rack-mount adaptability, combined with clear status indicators and compatible monitoring options, makes it easy to deploy in diverse environments while staying informed about runtime, load, and health status.

How to install Minuteman EXR Series Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply

• Unbox and inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Verify that you have all required accessories, including any external battery packs if you plan to extend runtime.
• Place the UPS on a stable, ventilated surface in an area with adequate air flow. Avoid placing it in sealed cabinets or on carpeting where heat can accumulate.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded wall outlet using the included power cord. Do not exceed the recommended outlet capacity or daisy-chain to other power strips.
• Attach any external battery packs to the UPS using the tool-less connection method provided. Ensure all connectors are firmly seated and acknowledged by the unit’s indicators.
• Plug critical devices (servers, routers, switches, workstations) into the UPS’s output receptacles. Reserve non-essential equipment for non-critical outlets if available to optimize runtime for priority devices.
• Power on the UPS and configure basic settings through the front panel or connected software. Run a self-test to confirm battery health and output stability, and adjust AVR and shutdown parameters as needed for your environment.
• Monitor the status indicators and run-time estimates. If you added external battery packs, verify that the runtime reflects the new configuration and that auto-recognition functions as intended during a simulated outage.
