How to install Minuteman EXR Series UPS

• Choose a suitable location with adequate ventilation and stable support. The EXR Series supports both tower and rack-mount configurations, so select the setup that best fits your equipment layout and space.
• Mount the unit securely in your chosen orientation. If rack-mounting, use the appropriate rails and hardware recommended for your rack size; ensure there is enough clearance for airflow and access to the front panel indicators.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded mains outlet and power it on. Verify that the input power is within the unit’s specified range and that the AVR function is ready to regulate minor line fluctuations.
• Plug essential devices into the UPS outlets. Distribute the load so you do not exceed the unit’s rated capacity, preserving runtime for critical equipment during an outage.
• If you are using external battery packs, ensure they are auto-recognized by the UPS and connect them using the tool-free connectors. This enables smart runtime expansion and seamless battery maintenance.
• Configure monitoring and alerts if supported by your model. Enable any available software or network interfaces to monitor runtime, load, health, and remaining battery capacity so you can respond quickly to events.
• Perform a test run. Simulate a brief power interruption to confirm the UPS automatically switches to battery power, stabilizes the output with AVR, and safely preserves connected equipment.
