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.
