INTRODUCTION The MINUTEMAN ALLIANCE Series Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) has been designed to be maintenance-free, and to provide years of excellent service. It will provide superior power protection for personal computers, telephone systems and other critical electronic equipment against all commercial power anomalies. Output waveform is a synchronized, simulated sinewave. Both LED and audible alarms indicate UPS and commercial power status at all times.
These UPS units are intended for use in a temperature-controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants. Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the UPS at all, times. Avoid locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where unit is exposed to direct sunlight. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.

TYPICAL RUN TIME vs.
Operating Temperature 0ºC to 40ºC (32ºF to 104ºF) Storage Temperature -15ºC to 40ºC (5ºF to 104ºF) Relative Humidity 95% Max., Non-Condensing Maximum Altitude without Derate 15,000 Ft. Acoustic Noise Less than 40dB @ 3' 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. 3.
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. 220VAC models use IEC 320 female receptacles. 8. LAN Communications Port: All models except A300. 9.
the UPS problem chart in the back of this manual. OPERATION The UPS loads may be controlled by the UPS power switch. Since the UPS powers up in the Inverter mode, a functional test is provided every time it is turned on (or the TEST Button is pushed). The battery charger operates with the power switch on or off. If a low voltage condition (brownout), power outage or over-voltage occurs, the UPS will switch to the Inverter mode, and the AC Normal LED will go out.
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.
SERVICE If any problem is encountered with your MINUTEMAN ALLIANCE UPS, contact your supplier or Para Systems customer service department. Prior to calling, please write down and be prepared to discuss UPS status indications and if the UPS supplies power in any mode. Following is a guide to assist you in locating some common problems. Do not remove the UPS cover or attempt any service. There are no user-serviceable components inside. Unauthorized service will void the warranty.
FUSE REPLACEMENT (All Models except A2000) A300, A300/2, A425, A425/2, A900 and A1250 models: Turn off the UPS and unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle before removing the fuse cap. Remove and inspect the fuse and replace, if blown. Other models: turn off the UPS and unplug the power cord plug from the UPS IEC 320 socket. Locate the fuse drawer opening and insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the opening, pry the drawer outward and remove it from the IEC 320 socket.
NOTE: Units returned for repair are found to have no function problem other than a blown, replaceable input fuse, tripped, re-settable input breaker (a2000) or discharged batteries will incur charges as stated in the above paragraph, even if these units are under warranty.
