1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The MINUTEMAN CP Series UPS is an advanced true on-line sinewave uninterruptible power system
with bypass switch. It provides reliable, regulated, transient-free AC power to your sensitive
equipment, ranging from computers and telecommunication systems to computerized instruments.
Because the UPS is an on-line design, conditioned power is provided continuously to the attached
devices. Unlike the standby UPS, its on-line structure is constantly regulating, filtering the output
power when commercial power is present. During electrical power failure, the unit employs its
internal maintenance-free battery to supply back-up power without any transfer time.
In the event of overload or inverter failure, the UPS will transfer to the bypass as an alternate source.
The UPS can transfer back to the inverter automatically after the overload condition has been
cleared. All the above transfer time is within four (4) milliseconds that can ensure your equipment
operating uninterruptedly.
Output Receptacle is optional, NEMA 5-15R or IEC 320.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION -- SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
1.3 SAFETY
This manual contains important instructions for MINUTEMAN CP series that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the UPS and Batteries.
CAUTION:
The UPS contains voltages, which are potentially hazardous. Qualified service personnel
should perform all repairs.
The UPS has its own internal energy source (battery). The output receptacles maybe live
even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
Symbol meaning:
Alternating current supply
Symbol for equipment grounding conductor.
On and standby symbol for 220V, 230V, 240V version.
On and Off symbol for 110V, 120V version.
Internal Battery supply voltage _______
UPS MODEL CP500: 24V _ _ _
UPS MODEL CP1K: 60V _ _ _
An insulated grounding conductor —— The wire shall be 18 AWG minimum PVC UL
1015 green or green with yellow strip.
The grounding conductor described in above item is to be grounded to earth at the

When replacing batteries, use the same number and the following type batteries:
Matsushita (or Panasonic) Electric Works. Type LCR12V6.5P, rated 12V.
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire, the battery may explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries, released electrolyte is harmful to the skin
and eyes. It may be toxic.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The
following precautions shou ld be obser v ed when working on batteries.
Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
Use tools with insulated handles.
For safe and continuous operation of the UPS depend partially on the care taken by user. Please
observe the following precautions:
Do not disassemble the UPS.
Do not attempt to power the UPS from any receptacle except a 2-pole 3-wire grounding
receptacle.
Do not place the UPS near water or in environment of excessive humidity.
Do not allow liquid or any foreign object to get inside the UPS.
Do not block air vents in front of the UPS or air exhausts in the back.
Do not plug appliances, such as hair dryers, into the UPS receptacles.
Do not place the UPS under direct sunshine or close to heat-emitting source.
A certified detachable power supply cord is to be used with this equipment. For a related
current up to 10A, a type not lighter than HO5VV-F3G 0.75mm
CP3K/2, rated current 16A, a type not lighter than HO5VV-F3G 1.5 mm
Caution
- Electric shock hazard. Battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage.
There may be hazardous voltage between battery terminals and ground. Check that
there is no voltage before touching!
Caution
-- Electric shock hazard. Even after disconnection from the mains input
voltage, components inside the UPS are still connected to the battery and are at
hazardous potential. Disconnect the battery supply circuit before carrying out servicing or
maintenance work.

2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Examine the packing carton for damage. Notify the carrier immediately if damage is present.
Retain the packing for future use.
2.2 INSTALLATION
1. Connect the power cord to a verified-grounded 3-wire receptacle. CP3K/2 comes with locking
casters (upward for release, downward for lock).
THE AC POWER IS PRESENT AT THE OUTPUT RECEPTACLE WHEN THE
POWER CORD IS PLUGGED IN AND THE BREAKER IS TURNED ON EVEN IF
YOU DO NOT PRESS THE FRONT PANEL SWITCH INTO " | " POSITION.

Page 12
2. Charge the batteries for ten (10) hours before use. The UPS will recharge the batteries
automatically whenever its power cord is plugged into a wall outlet. You may use the UPS
immediately without recharging, but the backup time may be less than the rating.
3. Connect the power cord of your computer equipment to the output receptacles of the UPS. Turn
on the computer equipment.
DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THE UPS BECAUSE THEY DRAW TOO
MUCH POWER.
4. CP500, CP1K , CP2K/2
Turn on the UPS by depressing the front panel switch to the position " | ". The "LINE" "BYPASS"
and "LOAD LEVEL" LED's will light up. After a few seconds the "INVERTER" will light up, too.
About 25 seconds later, the "BYPASS" LED will go off. Now, the UPS is working properly.
5. CP3K/2
Turn on the UPS by depressing the panel switch to the position " | ". All LEDs on panel will light
up. Then, check load level LED one by one, and all load
seconds the "INVERTER" indic at or will li ght up. About 25 sec o nds later , the "B YP A SS" LED wi ll
go off. Now, the UPS is working properly. If the "LOAD LEVEL" shows it is over 100%, buzzer
beeps twice per second. It means that you have connected too many

6. To test the UPS turn OFF commercial power by either turning OFF the breaker supplying power
to the commercial receptacle, or using a switchable power strip.
7. Due to physical stability requirement for CP3K/2 series, please install the supporter to the UPS at
the bottom side with two screws.
8. External battery pack installation for CP2K/2 and CP3K/2
Remove the top lid from both units.
Remove the side panel (left side for CP3K/2, two sides for CP2K/2) from the control unit,
and the right side panel from the battery pack.
Connect the cable (CP3K/2: Anderson connector, CP2K/2: Fastons connector to the
power stage connector marked CN15) at the control unit. Then connect Anderson
connector to the battery pack.
Slide the units together, so that bracket "A" lines up on the left side of the control unit and
on the right side of the battery pack.
Install both top lids with screws again.
Install two brackets labeled "B" between the two units at the back.
The UPS is now ready for normal start-up and check out.

2.3 STORAGE INSTRUCTION
For extended storage in moderate climates, the batteries should be charged for 12 hours every 3
months by plugging the power cord into the wall receptacle. Repeat it every 2 months in high
temperature locations.
3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
