Thank you for purchasing the Minuteman XRT series of external Battery
Packs for your MINUTEMAN Uninterruptible Power Supply system. It
has been designed and manufactured to provide many years of trouble-
free service.
The batteries used in the XRT series are sealed, maintenance-free, lead-
acid batteries, with the electrolyte completely absorbed in the plates and
separator material. For maximum battery life, the battery packs should
be kept as cool as practical indoors. Expected average battery life is 5
years. Replacement batteries and additional battery packs are available
from Minuteman or your local distributor or dealer. Please see the
SERVICE POLICY section of this manual about the options available for
replacement batteries.
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.
IMPORTANT!
Please read this manual before installing your Battery Pack, as it
provides the information to correctly set up your system for maximum
safety and performance. If factory service or customer support is
required, information on how to contact Minuteman is included. If you
experience a problem with the Battery Pack, please refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide in the UPS owner's Manual to correct the problem
or collect enough information so the Minuteman Technical Support
department can assist you.
