2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XRT series of Uninterruptible power supplies are based on an
advanced true sinewave power system that filters and protects the
electronic equipment from all types of power line problems. The various
models provide from 600 VA to 2000 VA of power for voltage ranges of
120 VAC, 208 VAC and 240 VAC single phase 60 Hz. units, and 220
VAC through 240 VAC 50 Hz. units. At all power levels and voltage
ranges the load is protected against AC line spikes, surges, dropouts,
brownouts and blackouts. All 60 Hertz models include electrical isolation
from the power line to the AC load. During operation, all of the critical
parameters are continuously monitored. The parameters may be
monitored at the UPS with an LED display on the XRT600, or with a
sophisticated LCD display that contains 32 characters on the XRT1000
and larger units. In all models the communications port can be used with
the Minuteman Sentry or PowerMon software to report all of the critical
parameters as well as controlling the UPS’s functions via remote control.
Built in is the provision for a remote master Output Power OFF switch so
that a user-supplied power down switch or relay can immediately shut off
the output power.
The XRT series of UPS’s are “Line-Interactive”. That is, during normal
operation from the AC line, the line AC is passed through an isolation
transformer* and filtering system that provides the maximum efficiency,
safety and reliability. During normal AC operation, the incoming line
voltage is continuously monitored and automatic correction is made for
under-voltage or over-voltage conditions. This provides AC line correction
for a range of 75% to 116% of the nominal line voltage. When these
limits are exceeded, or if the line frequency varies more than plus or
minus 3 Hertz, the unit automatically switches to battery power until
normal AC is restored. In normal operation the battery is continuously
charged so that full battery power is always available.
*
Isolation transformer is on the 60 Hz. units only.

FEATURES
Extended Battery Run Time
All models of the XRT series may add multiple optional external XRTBP
battery packs to extend the time that the units can provide power. UPS
de-rating is not required for the additional battery packs. The XRT600
model contains an internal battery, whereas the higher power models
require at least one XRTBP battery pack.
RFI/EMI Suppression
The design features, not only the standard input line filtering, but
contains a specially manufactured transformer* that shields the output
from line and inverter spikes resulting from capacitive coupling between
windings. This double protection insures that interference and spikes
cannot get to your equipment, and conversely your equipment cannot
transmit spikes to other equipment on the power line.
No Power Factor De-rating
The XRT series of UPS’s automatically support power factors in the
range of 0.6 to 1.0. This means that no de-rating is required for high
power factors since the unit is capable of supplying full rated power
(instantaneous watts) in either the ON-LINE or On-Battery conditions.
Enhanced Battery Management
To maintain the service life of the battery, the XRT provides various
features. During normal on-line functions the XRT continuously monitors
the battery voltage and keeps the battery at full charge via an intelligent
battery charger built into the unit. The battery’s condition is monitored at
all times, and if a low battery condition is detected, the condition is
reported to the front panel and to the serial communications port. If a low
battery condition is detected, the unit will continue to function on the AC
line. While the unit is on-line, the external battery pack(s) may be
replaced without disruption to the output power. In the XRT1000,
XRT1500 and XRT2000 units, the battery charge condition is reported by
the battery voltage on the LCD display screen, whereas in the XRT600
unit the battery charge condition is reported by LED’s on the front panel.
Remote Communication and Control
Built into the XRT series is a Minuteman standard RS-232
communications port. With the Minuteman Power Management software,
2-way communications can be maintained with a remote computer. All
pertinent data about the UPS can be transmitted to the computer, and
9
commands from the computer can control the UPS. The interface also
allows a single switch to control the output power from the UPS so that a
user-supplied Output Power Off switch or relay can immediately remove
power from the load, or restore power once the problem has been
corrected. See Remote Communications chapter for details of the
communications port.
Built in Self Test
To insure the functionality of the UPS, there are four built-in self tests.
The first is when the unit is switched on, a self test is run to insure the
operation of the backup mode, the condition of the battery and the
inverter circuit. This test takes about 10 seconds. Pressing the Test
button, or selecting the Quick Test command from the LCD menu will run
the built-in self test, verifying the operation of the UPS. The third test
mode runs a self test every 14 days to insure the UPS is always ready to
respond to a power problem. The fourth test is the Test to Low Battery
Warning and verifies the condition of the battery system by switching to
inverter power until the battery reaches the Low Battery Warning
condition and then switching back to the ON-LINE mode. During the
“Test to Low Battery”, you may monitor all of the status values and
terminate the test at any time.
The XRT1000 through XRT2000 units have a 32 character LCD display,
three push buttons, and the Power On and DC Start switches.
The Power and DC Start switch operate the same as the XRT600.
The LCD display will step you through all of the functions of the UPS.
The top line of the display indicates the parameter and function, and the
bottom line displays the function of the three buttons below the display.

3. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not connect a laser printer to the UPS along with other
computer equipment unless the UPS is rated at 2000 VA or higher. A
laser printer periodically draws significantly more power than when idle,
and may overload the UPS. Verify that the UPS can support the loads
when the printer is in full operation (printing).
PROTECTION STRATEGIES
Minuteman UPS’s provide high quality protection from AC input power
line disturbances to your equipment. However, there are other potential
entry points for damaging surges in information systems. These include
serial ports (RS232, RS422, RS485, etc.), parallel ports (especially
printers not connected to the UPS), telephone lines and network
connections. These other entries must be considered in developing a
comprehensive system protection strategy. Contact your dealer or
Minuteman for information on a complete set of related products
designed to accomplish total system protection. There are some
guidelines listed below that will help in your installation, whether or not
secondary protection is available.
Verify that all electrical outlets are properly grounded.
Do not connect the UPS and protected equipment to the same electrical
service branch that heavy motor loads like air conditioners, copiers,
refrigerators, and heavy electrical machinery are on. Plug all power
protection and protected equipment into the same branch where
possible.
Follow the next steps to install your UPS.
INSTALLATION PLACEMENT
Select the location of the UPS and optional battery pack(s) with care and
use the following precautions:
Select a location that provides unrestricted air flow. It is important to
leave at least 2 inches of space between any object and the sides of the
UPS.
11
Do not place anything on the top of the UPS.
Avoid locations near heating devices.
Avoid locations near water or excessive humidity.
Do not expose the UPS to direct sunlight.
Route power cords where they cannot be walked on or
damaged, or surrounded by other power cords or
communication cables.
Use common sense about placing the UPS where it
cannot be accidentally bumped or turned over.
The battery packs and UPS unit must be placed on a level, smooth
surface and cannot be stacked more than 4 units high. The UPS unit
must be the topmost unit. A multiple battery pack suggested layout is
shown below:
Remember to leave at least 2 inches of clearance
around the UPS unit for air flow.
12
INSTALLATION, STEP BY STEP
1. Insure UPS Power switch is OFF. Place the optional XRTBP
battery pack(s), if used, and XRT UPS in its final location.
2. When installing the XRT1000 and above UPS’s or the XRT600
with optional battery pack(s):
a) Remove the self stick protective strip from the rear of the XRT600
(not required on XRT1000 , 1500, and 2000), and from the optional
battery pack cable.
b) Loosen the retainer screws on the rear of the UPS and drop the
retainer bracket down.
c) Plug the battery pack cable connector into the XRT remote battery
pack connector insuring connections mate RED to RED and
BLACK to BLACK. Push the retaining bracket “up” to secure the
battery connector in place and re-tighten the screws.
d) Verify the bracket will not allow removal of the connector. Each
battery pack is “daisy chained” in a similar fashion with the cable
from the last battery pack connected to the previous pack. Remove
the protective strips only from the battery connectors that are
used.
NOTE: When the protective strip is removed from the XRT UPS or the
XRTBP cable connector, battery system voltage (48 VDC) is
present at these connector contacts. Please keep the connector
contacts covered with the protective strip when not mated with
another connector.

3. If you have additional Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS)
devices in your system, they may be connected to the Earth Ground lug
at the rear of the UPS. This provides a single point connection to
minimize the potential of surges to disrupt the system. This lug is
connected to the SAFETY GROUND lead in the AC input power cable.
4. Plug in the UPS to the utility power outlet.
XRT600, XRT1000, XRT1500 and XRT2000 Back panels
NOTE: Due to various input and output options available, your unit
may not be pictured exactly.
The XRT600, XRT600/2, XRT1000, XRT1000/2 and XRT2000/2 are fitted
with an IEC 320 input power connector. The remaining units have a preinstalled power cord to match their input power requirements and
voltages. The IEC 320 connector is the familiar computer input power
connector. XRT600 and XRT1000 units sold in the United States come
with an input power cable with a standard 5-15 male plug on one end and
an IEC 320 female plug on the other. Plug the IEC 320 connector into the
UPS and the male plug into a standard wall socket. Power cords for all
international models must be ordered separately if required.
5, If used, plug your remote communications line, into the DB-9
communications port connector. Your UPS will function correctly without
using the port.
6. Turn the Power switch to the “on” position. With commercial power
present and in the correct voltage and frequency range, the UPS will
14
automatically run a self test and at the successful completion, provide
power to the output receptacles and indicate “normal AC”. Certain faults
will prevent the UPS from supplying power to your equipment and will
cause an error status to be displayed and an audible alarm to sound. If
this occurs see the TROUBLESHOOTING section. To insure the
batteries are completely charged, it is a good idea to leave the UPS on
for 8 hours before using it to run your system. We understand that in
most cases you may not have the luxury of waiting for the batteries to
become fully charged, therefore you may install your equipment and
begin using the UPS immediately. If a power failure occurs before the
batteries are fully charged, the UPS may not supply power for the length
of time you would normally expect in battery backup mode.
7. Plug all equipment to be protected into the UPS output receptacles.
Insure that you do not exceed the maximum output power
capability of the XRT UPS (refer to UPS back panel or
electrical specifications in this manual).
Turn on your protected equipment one unit at a time and
verify that the “100% Load” condition is not exceeded.
Depending on the XRT model, the Load condition will be
displayed on the front panel as follows:
a) The XRT600 will provide an indication of the UPS status on the
LED front panel.

ALARMS AND WARNINGS
Alarms
Conditions that may require immediate attention will be signaled by the
UPS beeping it’s audible alarm. The following is a list of alarms the XRT
UPS reports:
On Battery (AC Fail)
When the UPS has detected a condition that forces it to run from the
battery, an alarm will sound every 30 seconds. The alarm stops when
normal AC returns to the unit. Pressing the Test/Alarm Silence button on
the XRT600 will silence this alarm. However, a new alarm will sound if any
of the other alarm conditions occur. In the XRT1000 and higher units, the
audible alarm will be complimented by a display on the LCD screen
indicating the exact nature of the alarm, and may be turned off by
selecting the SETUP menu and turning the alarm off. Shutting off the
audible alarm in this fashion does not affect the alarm reporting through
the communications port or the LCD screen.
Overload
The UPS is overloaded when the supplied loads exceeds 110% of the
rating shown in the GENERAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS section of
this manual. In an overload condition, the XRT600 will blink the top four
LED’s, and on the XRT1000 and above, the “Overload” message will be
displayed. The audible alarm will sound every 1/2 second. If the fault is not
cleared within 30 seconds, or if the overload exceeds 115% of the rating,
the UPS will shut itself down.
Low Battery Warning
When the UPS is running on its batteries and the battery voltage drops to
approximately 42 Volts, the Low Battery Warning will sound, beeping
every 1/2 second. The Low Battery Warning light on the LED front panel
will blink, and on the LCD front panel, the “Battery Low” message will be
displayed. If the battery voltage drops to 39 volts, the UPS will shut itself
down.
Check Fan
If the cooling fan fails, the Check Fan alarm will sound, beeping every 1/2
second. The UPS will shut itself down after 60 seconds.
24
WARNING EVENTS
Line Voltage Regulation
The UPS will warn you when the incoming utility power exceeds its
normal limits. On the LED front panel the Voltage Regulator LED will light,
indicating the incoming voltage is out of range. On the LCD front panel,
you will see a “Low Voltage In” or “High Voltage In” message. In either
case the audible alarm will not sound.
Output Voltage Switching
The Output of the UPS may be turned OFF or ON by any of three ways
other than the power switch. The XRT1000 and above output AC may be
manually turned on or off by selecting the Output On or Off command in
the SETUP menu. In all models the output may be turned on or off via the
RS-232 Serial port or by using the user supplied Output Power Off switch.
The XRT1000 and above units will notify you by the “OUT OFF Ext CNTL”
screen if the output was turned off from the RS-232 command, or “OUT
OFF Man CNTL” screen if the output was turned off from the Output Power
Off switch (see the SETUP menu section). The XRT600 does not have this
reporting feature, but if no power is being supplied from the UPS and the
AC Power LED is lit, then the probable reason is that the output has been
turned off.
OPTIONS
The options available for the XRT series UPS’s are in three categories.
Battery Packs
Multiple XRTBP1 and XRTBP3 battery packs may be ordered to configure
your system for various loads and battery runtimes. A short table of loads
and battery packs for the expected run times are shown in the GENERAL
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS section.
Software
Complete power management software is available from Minuteman as an
option.
Back-panel Receptacles
Standard back-panel receptacle configurations for the various XRT models
are shown in the GENERAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS section of this
manual. Special configurations can be ordered directly from Minuteman.

5. SYSTEM BATTERIES
The batteries used in the XRT series of UPS’s and the XRTBP battery
packs are sealed, maintenance-free, lead-acid batteries, with the
electrolyte completely absorbed in the plates and separator material. For
maximum battery life, battery temperature should be kept as cool as
practical indoors. Expected average battery life is 5 years. The XRT units
monitor the condition of the batteries and indicate when the batteries are
low. If, after charging for an appropriate time, (according to the number of
battery packs on the system) and the batteries are still low, this indicates
the batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries and battery
packs are available from Minuteman or your local distributor or dealer.
When batteries are replaced, dispose of the batteries according to local
regulations or return the batteries to your dealer or distributor for proper
disposal. If you cannot dispose of the old batteries, they may be returned
to Minuteman for proper disposal. Call Minuteman Technical Support for
instructions on returning the batteries.
NOTE: Only the XRTBP battery packs are to be used with the XRT
units. The XRT UPS has the DC battery negative terminal tied to the
AC ground at the remote communications port. Other battery
systems may have the DC battery positive terminal tied to AC
ground. This would result in a direct short and may damage the
unit and void your warranty.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If the UPS is to be stored, allow the batteries to fully charge for 24 hours,
then store the unit in a cool, dry location. For extended storage in
moderate climates, the batteries should be charged for 8 hours every 3
months. Repeat this operation every 2 months in high temperature
locations.
26
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
It is recommended that you turn the UPS off and disconnect the input
power cord from the receptacles prior to connecting or disconnecting the
battery terminals. Only UPS’s that have external battery packs can be
changed “HOT”, that is with AC power connected to the unit, and while
supplying power to your equipment. If battery packs MUST be changed
while power is on, they can ONLY be changed while the AC line is
supplying power to the protected equipment. Be extremely careful while
plugging or unplugging additional battery packs. Insure that the cable
connectors have the Red and Black terminals aligned before plugging
together. Improper alignment may result in a short circuit that can destroy
the battery packs and the UPS, as well as causing a fire and injury
hazard. If the units must be opened to replace the batteries, the following
precautions should be followed;
1. Disconnect all receptacles, line cords and battery connectors
BEFORE removing the case screws.
2. Remove watches, rings, and other metallic jewelry before
servicing the batteries.
3. Use tools with insulated handles.
4. Wear protective gloves and eye-wear.
5. Do not lay tools or other objects on top of the batteries.
6. Insure all connections to the new batteries are EXACTLY the
same as they were from the old batteries. It is recommended that
you make yourself a sketch of the batteries and their connections
BEFORE you attempt to remove the old batteries.
7. Verify all of the battery brackets and mechanical fittings are
replaced exactly as they were removed.
27
6. TROUBLESHOOTING

INITIAL ERROR MESSAGES
As soon as the UPS is first turned on, it performs a series of self tests. If
the self tests fail then the UPS will report the failure and display the fault.
If the self test passes, but the UPS was shut down previously due to a
fault, the previous fault code or message will be displayed. This feature
allows you to determine why the UPS shut down. The LCD screen will
display the words “Error Detected” on the top line of the screen, and one
of the messages in the Error Code list is shown on the second line.

The LCD reporting screen in the XRT1000 and above UPS’s allows much
more flexibility in communicating faults to you, and therefore has two
classes of fault messages. The first occurs when the unit is initially turned
on as explained above, and the second is if a fault is detected during
normal operation or testing.

The Initial Error Message can be cleared by pressing any button. If the
fault is cleared, then the fault existed from a prior shutdown. If the fault is
not cleared then the fault presently exists. If the previous fault was due to
a low battery condition and the AC line returns to normal, the UPS will
automatically re-supply power to your equipment. In the XRT1000 and
above units, you may prevent the automatic return to power by setting the
Auto Restart to OFF in the Setup menu described earlier.

SELF TEST
To have the XRT600 UPS perform a 10 second self test, press the
Test/Alarm Silence key. This will perform the self test and report any
errors to the LED display. A successful self test is indicated by the
normal AC LED being lit.
For the XRT1000 and above units, select the TEST MENU on the LCD
screen and then select the QUICK TEST. The screen will report
“TESTING” until the completion of the self test. If the unit is OK the screen
will return to the Quick Test menu, otherwise the error will be reported as
previously described.
When all faults are cleared, the LCD front panel screen returns to Mode
Display. Pressing the MENU button will transfer you to the STATUS
MENU described previously. In the LED front panel version the error code
will be cleared and the normal conditions will be displayed.
