ment.

Power Switch

Can be used as a master on/off switch for equip-

ment connected to the battery-powered outlets.

Power On Indicator

This LED is illuminated when the utility condition

is normal and the UPS outlets are providing

power, free of surges and spikes.

SWF Indicator (MN 525 Only)

The Site Wiring Fault (SWF) LED will illuminate to

warn the user that a wiring problem exists, such

as bad ground, missing ground or reversed wir-

ing. If the SWF LED is illuminated, disconnect all

of the equipment from the UPS and have an

electrician check to ensure the AC wall outlet is

wired correctly.

Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker provides overload and fault

protection. Under normal operating conditions,

the circuit breaker is depressed.

Serial Port to PC

This port allows connection and communication

from the DB-9 serial port on the computer to the

UPS. The UPS communicates its status to the

MINUTEMAN PowerCenter software. This inter-

face is also compatible with the UPS service

provided by Windows NT and Windows 2000.

RJ 11 Phone Jacks

Protects any standard modem, fax or single line

telephone.

INSPECTION

The package contents:

(1) MINUTEMAN PowerCenter software (floppy disk); (1) Serial interface cable (DB-9); (1) Telephone

cable; (1) User’s Manual; (1) Warranty registration card; (1) Platinum Protection Policy; (1) UPS.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Make sure that the total Volt-Amp (VA) requirements of your computer, monitor and peripheral

equipment does not exceed 1200VA for the MN 325 or 1440VA for the MN 525.

2. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the battery-powered outlets does not exceed the UPS’s

rated capacity. If UPS’s rated capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and

cause the UPS to shut down and trip the circuit breaker.

3. If the power requirements of your equipment are listed in values other than Volt-Amps (VA),

convert Watts (W) or Amps (A) into VA by doing the calculations below. Note: The equation be-

low only calculates the maximum amount of VA that the equipment can use, not what is typically

used by the equipment at any given time. Users should expect usage requirements to be ap-

proximately 60% of below value to estimate power requirements:

Watts (W) x 1.82 = VA or Amps (A) x 120 = VA

Add the totals for all of the equipment and multiply this total by 0.6 to calculate actual require-

ments.

Note: Many factors can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. The

total load that you will be placing on the battery-powered outlets should not exceed 80% of the

UPS’s capacity.

Hardware Installation Guide

1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon

receipt. However, charging the battery for at

least 4-hours is recommended to ensure that

the battery’s maximum charge capacity is

achieved. Charge loss may occur during ship-

ping and storage. To recharge the battery, plug

the power cord into the AC wall outlet and turn

the power switch on. Note: The MN 525 will

charge the battery with the power switch on or off.

2. If you wish to use the software, connect the en-

closed serial interface cable to the serial port on the

UPS and an open serial port on the computer. If

you are not going to use the software, you do not

need to connect the cable.

3. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your

computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device

(Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc…) into the battery power sup-

plied outlets. Plug your peripheral equipment (printer, scanner,

speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a

laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum or other large elec-

trical device into the UPS. The power demands of these de-

vices will overload and possibly damage the UPS.

4. To protect a fax, phone or modem, connect a telephone cable from

the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone

cable from the OUT jack to the modem port on your computer. The

OUT jack can be used to protect a telephone or fax machine.

MN 325/MN 525 User’s Manual

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

5. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding receptacle (AC wall outlet). Make sure the wall

branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large

electrical demands (e.g. refrigerator, copier, etc…). Note: DO NOT use extension cords, power

or surge strips on the input or the output of the UPS.

6. Depress the power switch to turn the UPS on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the

UPS will “beep” once.

7. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the UPS will emit one long beep. To

correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery-

powered outlets. Wait 10-seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the

UPS on.

8. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature (MN 525 only). When the UPS is plugged into

an AC wall outlet, the battery will automatically recharge.

9. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC wall outlet with the power

switch turned on at all times.

10. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover and store it with the battery fully charged. Re-

charge the battery every three months to ensure battery life.

2. Unplug the UPS from the AC wall outlet to simulate a power failure.

3. The UPS will begin beeping, indicating a power failure.

4. Save and close any open files.

5. Shut down the operating system.

6. Once the computer system is shutdown, turn the UPS off.

As the battery discharges, the unit will beep more rapidly, indicating that the battery is nearing dis-

charge. Once the test is complete, plug the UPS back in and start your computer. Please allow 4-

hours for the UPS to recharge before attempting another self-test.

REPLACING THE BATTERY (Authorized Service Personnel)

CAUTION! Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before servicing the bat-

tery. Service the battery under the supervision of Authorized Service Personnel knowledgeable of

batteries and their precautions.

CAUTION! Use only the specified type of battery. See your dealer for replacement batteries.

CAUTION! The battery may present risk of electrical shock. Do not dispose of battery in a fire, as it

may explode. Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries.

CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes

and may be toxic.

CAUTION! Although the battery system voltage is only 12VDC, the battery can present a high risk of

short circuit current and electrical shock. The short circuit current capability of the battery is sufficient

to burn wire or tools very rapidly producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when replacing

the battery:

1. Remove all watches, rings or other metal objects.

2. Only use tools with insulated handles.

3. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of battery or any terminals.

4. Wear protective eye gear (goggles), rubber gloves and boots.

5. Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals.

6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source

of ground. Contact with a grounded battery can result in electrical shock! The likelihood of such

shock will be reduced if; such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applica-

ble to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded circuit).

BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

1. Turn off and unplug all connected equipment.

2. Turn the UPS off and unplug the UPS’s power cord from the AC wall outlet.

3. Turn the UPS upside down.
