Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Relative Humidity Maximum Altitude without Derate Acoustic Noise UNIT DESCRIPTION 1. Main Power Switch: Turns on all UPS functions except the internal battery charger. Charger operates when UPS is connected to commercial power. 2. Test Button: Depressing this button causes the UPS to switch to the Inverter mode (backup) for test.
6. Input Fuse/Breaker: A300, A425, A900 and A1250 use a separate fuse holder for the input fuse; A2000 models use an input breaker. Other models have the input fuse located in the IEC 320 socket. 7. Output Receptacles: All 120VAC models use NEMA 5-15R receptacles (standard). The A2000 120VAC model has one receptacle position, which can be converted, to a locking receptacle.
SYSTEM BATTERIES The internal batteries used in the MINUTEMAN ALLIANCE UPS UNITS are sealed maintenance- free, lead-acid batteries with electrolyte totally absorbed in the plates and separator material. For maximum battery like, temperature should be kept as cool as practical indoors, and at proper trickle charge voltage.
UPS MONITORING CONFIGURATIONS All models except A300 provide a UPS monitoring capability which will allow direct interface with many different computer operating systems. This capability permits an unattended, orderly shutdown of the computer system when commercial power is lost for a long period. Some configurations also provide for a shut down of the UPS after the computer has been shut down, thereby conserving UPS battery capability.
