How to Install Minuteman EXR Series Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply

• Choose a ventilated, Level floor location with adequate clearance around the UPS for cooling and safe access to outlets and ports.
• Place the UPS near the equipment you want to protect, ensuring the weight is supported and the unit is easily accessible for maintenance and self-tests.
• Connect the UPS to a dedicated AC outlet (as specified by the SKU) using the included power cord. Do not use extension cords or power strips that could compromise performance.
• Plug your critical devices into the UPS-protected outlets. Leave nonessential equipment on non-surge outlets if applicable to maximize runtime for essential gear.
• If you plan to expand runtime, attach compatible external battery packs as instructed by the user manual. The EXR Series will recognize compatible packs automatically and integrate them into the runtime calculation.
• Connect the USB or network management card to monitor status, configure alerts, and set shutdown parameters. Install compatible monitoring software on your computer or server to receive event notifications and to automate safe shutdowns during outages.
• Power on the UPS and perform a self-test to verify operation. Confirm that the loads stay powered during simulated outages and that management software reports accurate status.
• Configure settings such as alarm thresholds, auto-shutdown timing, and surge protection preferences to align with your operational policies and data protection requirements.

Frequently asked questions

• What is a line-interactive UPS? A line-interactive UPS regulates voltage by using a automatic voltage regulation circuit while remaining connected to the mains. It provides clean power to connected equipment and handles short-term fluctuations without draining the battery, reserving runtime for extended outages.
• What does true-sinewave output mean for my equipment? True-sinewave output mimics the smooth, continuous waveform of utility power, which is essential for sensitive electronics, medical devices, and precision equipment. It reduces electrical noise, ensures stable performance, and extends the life of power supplies.
• Can I add external battery packs to the EXR Series? Yes. The EXR Series is designed to auto-recognize compatible external battery packs, enabling scalable runtime without complex configuration, so you can tailor backup capacity to your needs.
• What software is used to monitor the UPS? Most Minuteman EXR Series units support USB or network management cards and are compatible with common UPS monitoring software. This allows real-time status updates, event logging, and automated shutdowns to protect data integrity during outages.
• How long will my equipment run during an outage? Runtime depends on the SKU, the connected load, and whether external battery packs are used. For accurate runtimes, consult the specifications for your SKU and simulate a blackout using the UPS self-test to gauge performance.
