CONNECTING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Plug the mission critical equipment into the Battery Backup & Surge output
receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS.  Plug the noncritical equipment into
the Surge Only output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS.  Ensure that
the connected equipment does not exceed the maximum output rating of the
UPS (refer to the information label on the UPS or the electrical specifications in
this manual).  DO NOT PLUG EXTENSION CORDS, ADAPTER PLUGS, SURGE
STRIPS OR POWER STRIPS INTO THE OUTPUT RECEPTACLES OF THE
UPS.  

NOTE:

  Risk of damaging the UPS and/or connected equipment.

CAUTION!  DO NOT

 connect a laser printer to the output of the UPS.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is connected to
an AC source and there is an acceptable AC voltage present (90 - 140VAC).
It is recommended that the UPS's batteries be charged for a minimum of 4
hours before use.  The UPS may be used immediately, however, the “On
Battery” runtime may be less than normally expected.  Typical battery life is 3
to 5 years.  Environmental factors do affect battery life.  High temperatures,
poor utility power, and frequent, short duration discharges have a negative
impact on battery life.  

NOTE:

  If the UPS is going to be out of service or

stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be recharged for at
least twenty-four hours every ninety days.

USB COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION

 (OPTIONAL)

This UPS series supports USB communications.  The power monitoring soft-
ware and interface cable can be used with the UPS.  Use only the interface
cable that come with these UPSs.  The USB communications protocol is HID.
The HID USB driver comes standard in the Windows OS.  Simply connect the
USB cable to the USB communications port on the rear panel of the UPS.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the device that will be monitoring/
controlling the UPS and then follow the prompts on the screen.  

NOTE:

  When

using the UPS's USB port with Windows XP, 7 or 8 the Power Options in the
Control Panel may need to be configured.

 Connecting to the Communications

Port is optional.  The UPS works properly without this connection.

CHECKING THE SITE WIRING FAULT

After plugging the UPS into the AC wall outlet, check the Site Wiring Fault
(SWF) icon on the front panel of the UPS.  If the SWF icon is illuminated and
the LCD is displaying error code E08, the UPS is plugged into an improperly
wired AC wall outlet.  If the UPS indicates a Site Wiring Fault (SWF), have a
Qualified Electrician correct the problem.

POWER MONITORING SOFTWARE

This UPS supports Minuteman's SentryHD power monitoring software.  Please
go to our web site at www.minutemanups.com/support, then look under Down-
loads, and then Software Download Center.  Please download (Free of Charge)
the latest version of the Minuteman SentryHD software.

CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20

amperes maximum branch circuit over-current protection in accordance with
the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.  Plug the UPS into a two pole, three
wire, grounded receptacle only.  DO NOT PLUG THE UPS INTO EXTENSION
CORDS, ADAPTER PLUGS, SURGE STRIPS OR POWER STRIPS. DO NOT
CUT THE INPUT PLUG OFF AND ATTEMPT TO HARDWIRE THIS UPS, DO-
ING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
