Thank you for purchasing this power protection product. It has been designed
and manufactured to provide many years of trouble free service. Please read
this manual before installing your Encompass On-Line Series UPS, models
EC1000RT2U, EC1500RT2U, EC2000RT2U, EC3000RT2U as it provides im­portant information that should be followed during the installation and the main­tenance of the UPS system allowing you to correctly set up your system for
the maximum safety and performance. Included is information on customer
support and factory service, if it is required. If you experience a problem with
the UPS system please refer to the Troubleshooting guide in this manual to
correct the problem or collect enough information so that the Technical Sup­port Department can assist you.

CAUTION! The maximum ambient operating temperature for this UPS series
is 40°C (“0 ~ 40°C” for Ambient Operation).

Chapter 1: Introduction

WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. Hazardous live parts inside these

power supplies are energized from the battery even when the AC input is
disconnected.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electrical shock in conditions where the

load equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the UPS from the
AC wall outlet before installing a computer interface cable. Reconnect the
power cord only after all signaling connections are made.

CAUTION! Connect the UPS to a two pole, three wire grounded AC wall

outlet. The receptacle must be connected to the appropriate branch protec­tion (circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any other type of receptacle may
result in a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes. Do not plug the
UPS into extension cords, adapter plugs or surge strips.

CAUTION! T o reduce the risk of electrical shock with the installation of this

UPS equipment and the connected equipment, the user must ensure that the
combined sum of the AC leakage current does not exceed 3.5mA.

WARNING: This Uninterruptible Power Supply contains potentially hazard-

ous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the UPS beyond the battery
replacement procedure. This UPS contains no user serviceable parts. Re­pairs and Battery replacement must be performed by QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSONNEL ONL Y .

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a utility powered

circuit provided with 20 / 30 amperes maximum branch circuit over-current
protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

WARNING: Qualified Service Personnel ONLY must perform the Installa­tion and Servicing of these UPS systems. MINUTEMAN accepts no liabilities
and is not limited to: injury to the Service Personnel, or damages to; the UPS,
or the connected equipment caused by the incorrect installation or servicing
of the UPS system.

CAUTION! This UPS series is ONLY intended to be installed in an indoor
temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contaminants.
This UPS series is not intended for use in a computer room as defined in the
Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equip­ment ANSI/NFPA 75.

NOTE: These UPSs are shipped with the batteries disconnected. The batter­ies must be connected before putting these UPSs into service. Refer to Sec­tion 3 "Installation" for connecting the batteries.

CAUTION! DO NOT USE THE MOUNTING BRACKETS TO LIFT THE

NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class A and/or B computing device in accordance with the specifications
in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules and the Class A and/or B limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference of the
Canadian Department of Communications. These limits are designed to pro­vide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installa­tion. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency and if not installed
and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's in­structions, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television re­ception. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television re­ception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

 Re-orient the receiving antenna.
 Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
 Move the computer away from the receiver.
 Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver

are on different branch circuits.

 Shielded communications interface cables must be used with this product.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
