IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS !

NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules and the Class 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:

Thank you for purchasing a MINUTEMAN power protection product. It has been
designed and manufactured to provide many years of trouble free service.

! 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: Risk of electrical shock. Hazardous live parts inside

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

To de-energize the outputs of the UPS:

1. If the UPS is on press and release the on/off button.

2. Disconnect the UPS from the AC power outlet.

3. To de-energize the UPS completely, disconnect the battery.
This Uninterruptible Power Supply contains potentially hazardous voltages.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the unit. This UPS contains no user
serviceable parts. Repairs and battery replacement must be performed by

AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

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

load equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the UPS from
the AC power 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 grounding

AC power outlet. The receptacle must be connected to 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.

English

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.

After removing your MINUTEMAN UPS from its carton, it should be inspected
for damage that may have occurred in shipping. Immediately notify the carrier
and place of purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims for damage
caused by the carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your UPS
was shipped in, are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the
unlikely case that the UPS needs to be returned to MINUTEMAN, please use
the original packing material. Since MINUTEMAN is not responsible for
shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing
material is inexpensive insurance. PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING

the use of any of its products in life support applications where failure or
malfunction of the Para Systems product can be reasonably expected to cause
failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or
effectiveness. Para Systems does not recommend the use of any of its
products in direct patient care. Para Systems will not knowingly sell its

satisfactory to Para Systems that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been
minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of
Para Systems Inc. is adequately protected under the circumstances.

Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen
analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other
purposes), auto transfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia
detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis
systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants,
anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as any other devices
designated as “critical” by the United States FDA.

Hospital grade wiring and low leakage current devices may be ordered as
options on many Para Systems UPS systems. Para Systems does not claim
that units with this modification are certified or listed as Hospital Grade by Para
Systems or any other organization. Therefore, these units do not meet the
requirements for use in direct patient care.

The On-Line/On-Battery/Boost and Buck (green) LED illuminates in a steady
state when the UPS is on and supplying AC power to the load. The LED blinks
and the audible alarm sounds, when supplying battery power to the load. The
LED blinks and no audible alarm when the UPS is in either the boost or the
buck mode.

The Fault (red) LED illuminates when the UPS has detected an internal
fault. (see section 5)

The Overload (yellow) LED illuminates when the loads connected to the
UPS exceeds the UPS power rating. (see section 5)

The Weak/Bad Battery (red) LED illuminates when the UPS has
detected that the batteries are Weak/Bad. Battery replacement might
be required. (see section 5)

The Site Wiring Fault (red) LED illuminates when the UPS detects a

INSTALLATION

Be sure to read the installation placement and all the cautions before installing
the UPS. Place the UPS in the final desired location and complete the rest of
the installation procedure. USE CAUTION: The UPS is heavy. Use the
appropriate number of personnel when installing the UPS.

Install the UPS in a temperature controlled environment that is free of
conductive contaminants. Select a location which will provide good air
circulation for the UPS at all times. Avoid locations near heating devices, water
or excessive humidity, or where the UPS is exposed to direct sunlight. Route
power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.

Operating Temperature: 0 to 40 degrees C (+32 to 104 degrees F)
Operating Elevation: 0 to 3,000m (0 to 10,000 ft)
Operating and Storage Relative Humidity: 95%, non-condensing
Storage Temperature: -15 to +45 degrees C (+5 to +113 degrees F)
Storage Elevation: 0 to 15,000m (0 to +50,000 ft)

CONNECTING YOUR EQUIPMENT

CAUTION!

DO NOT connect a laser printer to the output receptacles on the
UPS, unless the UPS is rated 2000VA or greater. A laser printer
draws significantly more power when printing than at idle and
may overload the UPS.

Plug the equipment into the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS.
Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, power strips or surge strips on the
output of the UPS. Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum output rating
of the UPS (refer to the UPS's back panel or the Electrical Specifications in this
manual).

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.

NOTE:
