A few weeks back, we launched the all-new\u00a0EnterprisePlus LCD UPS<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in our PowerNews Newsletter (you are\u00a0subscribed<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to that, right?) and here on the\u00a0PowerBlog<\/strong><\/a>. Over the coming weeks we\u2019ll be taking an in-depth look at several of the new features on these units, starting with this first post \u2013 RT vs. RTXL: Which one is right for you?<\/p>\nSo, what are all those numbers and letters at the end of the new\u00a0EnterprisePlus LCD models<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0anyway? While they may look a bit random, each one serves a purpose in explaining exactly what the unit is capable of. Come along and we\u2019ll show you.<\/p>\n Knowledge is Power<\/strong><\/p>\n To help get you ahead of the curve, let\u2019s break down all the numbers and letters so you can be sure of what you\u2019re looking at when browsing through the updated EnterprisePlus LCD product line.<\/p>\n As the graphic above shows, the UPS model number breaks down into 5 sections \u2013 Series, Rating, Mounting Format, Runtime Capability, and Rack Height. Let\u2019s look at these a little more in-depth:<\/p>\n RT vs. RTXL \u2013 Standard vs. Extended Runtime<\/strong><\/p>\n To decide between the RT and RTXL models within the EnterprisePlus LCD lineup, the first consideration is what equipment you will be backing up. Does it need to be available for extended periods of time \u2013 essentially, do you need minutes of time in an outage or hours?<\/p>\n If the answer is hours, for equipment such as\u00a0telephone systems<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0servers<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0security devices<\/strong><\/a>, or other critical equipment, the RTXL is the best option as it allows the connection of\u00a0XL and EXL external battery packs<\/strong><\/a>. Even if the need for substantial runtimes is not immediately apparent, choosing the RTXL can be a good insurance plan for later.<\/p>\n The RT model is a lower cost option for areas where the base runtime of the unit will be all that is needed. Savings at the initial purchase can be as much as\u00a013%<\/em>, opening this model up to a wide range of budgets in the telecommunications, IT, and security sectors.<\/p>\n Determining the runtime for your System Minuteman\u2019s\u00a0SizeMyUPS.com<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is an excellent resource for properly sizing an EnterprisePlus LCD UPS for your system. Simply select your equipment from the extensive database, or enter your loads if they are already known. Then select EnterprisePlus LCD from the Narrow by Product Line dropdown to see the solutions available for your application and the estimated runtimes they will provide.<\/p>\n Learn more about the all-new EnterprisePlus LCD UPS >><\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/minutemanups.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/eplus_lcd_model_number_explanation.png\")
