HOW THE CONTINUOUS POWER SERIES PROTECTS YOUR SYSTEM
The Continuous Power Series UPS has two basic functions:
Prevent AC line interruptions from disrupting your load (computer
network, workstations, etc.)
Condition poor quality AC power before it disrupts your load
AC power disturbances come in many forms, from full blackouts to radio
transmissions on a factory floor. The Continuous Power Series is designed to
respond to these power problems before they affect the operation of your
sensitive electrical equipment. Various types of AC power disturbances in-
clude:
No voltage (blackout)
Low voltage (brownout)
High voltage
Slow voltage fluctuation (voltage sag)
Frequency variations
Common mode noise
Normal mode noise
Utility
Source
• Hard wire
• Line cord

Transients caused by switching and faults
Electrical disturbances can damage software, hardware, and cause equipment
to operate erratically. The Continuous Power Series protects equipment by
maintaining a constant output voltage and by conditioning poor quality AC
power before it reaches sensitive electric equipment. Because the Continuous
Power Series is a true online UPS, it also provides instantaneous backup
power during a power failure with no interruption to your load(s). The block
diagram in Figure 1-2 illustrates how the Continuous Power Series UPS is
connected to AC power and loads.

the batteries, an ambient temperature of 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C) is
recommended.
Provide shelter from the elements (especially moisture).
make sure ventilation and space requirements are met. There should
be two inches (5 cm) of clearance at both sides and on top of the UPS.
Four inches (10 cm) of clearance is needed at the rear of the UPS for
ventilation.
Maintain clearance at the front of the UPS for user operations.
Install the external battery pack next to the UPS.
RACK-MOUNT
The rack-mount UPS fits into a standard equipment rack (mounting
hardware is not provided).
To maximize the life of the UPS internal batteries, avoid temperature
and humidity extremes.
The ambient temperature should be kept around 59°F to 77°F
(15°C to 25°C).
ATTACHING THE STABILIZING BRACKET
6.0 KVA units come with a stabilizing bracket used to secure the unit once it is
placed. Follow the instructions below to attach the stabilizing bracket.

REAR PANEL CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The Minuteman Continuous Power Series has two types of output circuit
breakers on the rear panel. The push-button type circuit breaker protects each
standard 5-15R duplex. When the push-button circuit breaker trips, it pops
outs and a green ring appears. Push it in to reset.
CAUTION
CAUTION!
Pushing in the push-button circuit breaker when it is not
tripped, causes the circuit to open and your load to drop.
Minuteman Continuous Power Series UPS

Page 46
The branch-type circuit breaker protects both 5-15R duplexes. When the
breaker trips a red flag appears in the small window on the switch. To reset,
move the switch to the OFF position then to the ON position.
USING OPTIONS
Your UPS may have several options including a second RS-232 port, trans-
former, external batteries, a start-on-battery switch, and a manual bypass
switch. Each option is explained below.
SECOND RS-232 PORT WITH MODEM BOARD
The second RS-232 port on the rear panel of the UPS is used in conjunction
with a modem board. The modem board allows the UPS to communicate
possible problems to a service center over the telephone lines. A modem
board allows both RS-232 ports to operate.
EXTERNAL BATTERY PACKS (RESERVE PACKS)
Battery packs contain maintenance free batteries and have no user operations.
External battery packs can be daisy chained together. See section 3, Installa-
tion, for instruction on installing external battery packs.
START-ON-BATTERY
The start-on-battery switch option, shown in Figure 4-4, allows the user to turn
on loads from the UPS during a power outage, provided that enough battery
backup is available. The switch is located at the rear panel of the UPS. To start
the UPS on battery, press and hold the start-on-battery switch for 20 seconds
or until the UPS turns on.
MANUAL BYPASS SWITCH
The manual bypass switch (MBS) is on the rear panel of the UPS at the
bottom as shown in Figure 4-6. Only use the manual bypass switch when the
bypass mode LED is on. See Operation Mode under, Off Button earlier in this
section for instructions about how to place UPS in bypass mode. When the
UPS is on bypass, AC input bypasses the UPS and goes directly to the load. If
a power problem occurs while the UPS is on bypass, the unit does not switch
to battery power.
CAUTION
CAUTION!
Do not use the manual bypass switch unless the UPS is in
bypass mode. When the UPS is in bypass mode, the bypass
LED is on.

MAINTENANCE
5
This section explains UPS care and maintenance including preventive mainte-
nance, battery care, and UPS storage.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
m
You can expect long, trouble-free operation from the Continuous Power Series
UPS by taking a few preventive maintenance measures. Keep the area around
the UPS clean and relatively dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean
the outside of the system periodically with a vacuum cleaner.
BATTERY LIFE
By keeping the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F), full battery life
can be achieved, providing that battery usage is not abnormal.
BATTERY RECHARGING
While the UPS is on, the batteries are automatically recharged when power
returns after a power failure. Complete recharging can take up to 24 hours.
However, most charging is done in less than 8 hours. The battery does not
have to be fully charged to protect your system. The Continuous Power Series
is designed to provide protection through multiple power outages as long as
battery power is available.
STORING THE UPS
If you plan to store the UPS, follow the guidelines below to protect the
batteries:
Fully charge the batteries before you store the UPS.
Turn the UPS OFF whenever it is being stored.
Avoid storage temperatures above 27°C (80°F). The preferred storage
Every 180 days, connect the UPS to an AC source, or plug the UPS

temperature is 21°C (70°F).
into an AC outlet (plug and play models), and operate the UPS for 12
hours to charge the batteries. The batteries may suffer damage if not
charged every 180 days during storage.

operated within specified conditions, against faulty materials or workmanship for a period of
two years from the date of original purchase by the end user. For equipment sites within
the United States and Canada, this warranty covers repair or replacement of defective
equipment at the discretion of Para Systems. Repair will be from the nearest authorized
service center. Replacement parts and warranty labor will be borne by Para Systems. For
equipment located outside of the United States and Canada, Para Systems only covers

warranted for the unexpired portion of the warranty applying to the original product. This
warranty applies only to the original purchaser who must have properly registered the

The warranty shall be void if (a) the equipment is damaged by the customer, is improperly
used, is subjected to an adverse operating environment, or is operated outside the limits of
its electrical specifications; (b) the equipment is repaired or modified by anyone other than
Para Systems or Para Systems-approved personnel; or (c) has been used in a manner
contrary to the products operating manual or other written instructions.
Any technical advice furnished before or after delivery in regard to use or application of
Para Systemss equipment is furnished without charge and on the basis that it represents

EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND

plied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid limitation(s) may not apply to the purchaser.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL PARA SYSTEMS BE LIABLE
FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSI-
BILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Specifically, Para Systems is not liable for any costs, such as
lost profits or revenue, loss of equipment, loss of use of equipment, loss of software, loss of
data, cost of substitutes, claims by third parties, or otherwise. The sole and exclusive rem-
edy for breach of any warranty, expressed or implied, concerning Para Systemss products
and the only obligation of Para Systems hereunder, shall be the repair or replacement of
defective equipment, components, or parts; or, at Para Systemss option, refund of the
purchase price or substitution with an equivalent replacement product. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
