  • Page 6: Receiving Inspection

    RECEIVING INSPECTION After removing your Minuteman XRT 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.

  • Page 9: System Description

    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.

  • Page 10: Features

    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.
  • Page 11 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.

  • Page 12: Installation

    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).
  • Page 13 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.

  • Page 14: Installation, Step By Step

    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.
  • Page 15 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.
  • Page 16 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.
  • Page 17 Front Panel Load Menu on LCD Screen If an alarm condition exists, the condition will be reported on the front panel. If no AC Power is present and the battery is charged, pressing the DC START switch for approximately 5 seconds will bring up the UPS in the inverter mode and provide power to the protected equipment from the battery.

  • Page 18: Operation

    4. OPERATION FRONT PANELS The operation of the UPS depends on which front panel is used. The following section explains the operation for the LED and the LCD front panels. The top four LED’ s (Green) provide 3 functions. During normal AC operation: The top LED’s indicate a measure of load.

  • Page 19: Lcd Front Panel

    Switches The Power switch turns the unit on and off. To start the UPS when AC power is not available, press and hold the DC Start button for about 5 seconds. The Test/Alarm Silence Button The Test/Alarm Silence button allows you to run the quick self test when the UPS is in the normal mode.
  • Page 20 If the unit is being powered from the AC line, the percentage of actual load power available will be shown by the “ON-LINE xxx% Load” message. Otherwise, if the unit is being powered from the battery, “BACKUP xx.xV BAT” message is displayed. In either case, you may press the button under the “MENU”...
  • Page 21 Status Menu The status menu allows you to read the parameters of the UPS according to the flowchart shown below. The button under the word “Scroll” will step you to the next selection and the button under the word “Menu” will step you to the TEST menu.
  • Page 22 Test Menu The Test menu allows you to select the user controlled test modes. The “Quick Test” mode will perform a test of all of the key parameters of the UPS, including operation from the battery. The “Test To Low Bat” selection will place the UPS in the battery power mode, and run until the battery voltage drops to the Low Battery Warning point.

  • Page 25: Alarms And Warnings

    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.

  • Page 26: Warning Events

    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.

  • Page 27: System Batteries

    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.

  • Page 28: Battery Replacement

    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.

  • Page 29: Troubleshooting

    6. TROUBLESHOOTING If your XRT UPS does not function as you expect or if you get an error code or message, please follow the chart outlined below before calling your dealer or Minuteman. Make note of each problem so that we may quickly troubleshoot and correct the problem.

  • Page 30: Initial Error Messages

    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.
  • Page 31 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.

  • Page 32: Operating Faults

    OPERATING FAULTS If, during operation, a fault is detected the XRT UPS will sound the alarm beeper and display the fault cause on the front panel. If you have disabled the alarm beeper, the fault will still be displayed. In the XRT600 UPS the upper four LED’s will be turned on according to the chart provided earlier.

  • Page 33: Self Test

    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.

  • Page 34: Obtaining Service

    7. OBTAINING SERVICE If the UPS requires service: 1. Use the TROUBLESHOOTING section 6 to eliminate obvious causes. 2. Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped. A tripped circuit breaker is the most common problem. 3. Go to section 6 and perform the self test to identify any reported errors. 4.
