Tour The LCD Panel

  1. The ON button is to turn the UPS on. Pressing the ON button during the Battery mode will silence the alarm.
  2. The OFF button is to turn the UPS off.
  3. The Utility Power (Green) LED illuminates when Utility Power is present and extinguishes during the Battery mode.
  4. The Load Bank 1 (Green) LED is illuminated when the Load Bank is on.
  5. The Load Bank 2 (Green) LED is illuminated when the Load Bank is on.
  6. The Bypass Active (Yellow) LED illuminates when the UPS is in the Bypass mode.
  7. The Weak/Bad Battery (Red) LED illuminates when the UPS detects a weak battery, bad battery or if the battery is disconnected. The Weak/Bad Battery icon is extinguished when the battery’s condition is good.
  8. The LCD displays the status of the UPS.
  9. Pressing the Enter button saves the changes made to the UPS settings.
  10. Pressing the Page Up button goes to the previous page or will change the UPS settings.
  11. Pressing the Page Down button goes to the next page.
  12. Pressing the Function button and then the Page Up button will initiate a 10- second battery test.

Electrical Characteristics

Output Power Factor

All Encompass LCD Series models come with a 0.9 power factor of which increases the watt capacity of the units. Offering larger capacities in smaller UPS VA sizes reduces the overall cost of the UPS solution for a specific load requirement.

Output Voltage

All units in the Encompass LCD Series produce an electrical signal that does not vary from nominal voltage by more than 2%. Tightly regulating the output voltage increases the quality of power to connected equipment adding to its life expectancy, which lowers the total cost of ownership to users.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

THD is the distortion of a normal AC electrical signal commonly caused by non-linear loads. This distortion can cause internal heat to build up on sensitive equipment not designed to operate with these altered AC signals. The Encompass LCD Series provides power factor correction to reduce the THD and maintain a true sine wave output signal.

Output Receptacle Control: The ability to extend the runtime of critical devices during an extended blackout is handled through the Encompass LCD’s load shedding function. Each model in the Encompass LCD UPS comes with two independently-circuited receptacle segments. Through the use of Minuteman’s SentryHD software or communication with the UPS through an Ethernet connection, users can either turn on, off or reset each segment independently of the other. By reducing the load amount on the UPS, the runtime of critical devices on the UPS battery can be extended.

Communication Features

Simultaneous RS-232, USB and Ethernet communications: The Encompass LCD UPS provides users with the ability to communicate with the UPS simultaneously through three separate protocols: RS-232, USB and Ethernet. Users can now directly connect and manage the UPS from multiple stand-alone, or networked computers. By including concurrent Ethernet communications (SNMP or direct IP address), the Encompass LCD UPS can provide detailed monitoring and management to many various environments.

Other Features

RoHS 2 Compliance

Recognizing the benefit of being environmentally conscious, Para Systems developed the Encompass LCD UPS Series to be compliant with the European Economic Unions directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS 2), in electronic equipment.

Manual and Automatic Self-Testing

The Encompass LCD UPS is designed to proactively notify users of any impending faults or failures with the UPS. This allows for preemptive repair or replacement of components or batteries preventing unexpected downtime caused by the UPS.

Dedicated EPO Port

This direct access port allows users to perform an immediate remote shutdown of the UPS in cases of emergency or when access to the UPS is restricted or inconvenient.

Battery Technology

Battery Technology

All Encompass units use valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA). All are safe for any type of freight transport: air, sea or ground. For added protection, all Encompass UPS models ship with the batteries disconnected. A “Quick Installation Guide” is included in each Encompass box to detail how to connect the batteries before putting the units into service.

Hot-Swappable Batteries

All models in the Encompass line offer Tool-less battery replacement, through the front panel of the UPS, without having to remove the UPS from service. Connected loads are protected from voltage anomalies and spikes and surges while the batteries are being replaced.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to: www.P65warnings.ca.gov/product

Software

Get ultimate control over your power with SentryHD

In today’s complex world of data, networks, and software, control and management of applications is vital, especially when it comes to the power that is supplied to these devices.

SentryHD, included free with all current Minuteman UPS systems, is the latest update to Minuteman’s popular Sentry monitoring and management software. This powerful tool provides users and network managers a range of monitoring & managment tools for their power, allowing total control before, during, and after power problems.

With a simple connection to the UPS via USB or RS-232, SentryHD provides the capability to configure UPSs, monitor power, and diagnose issues, all from secure connections on the network. This eliminates wasteful runs around the facility, saving time and money.

Accessories

Extended Runtime Capability

All models in the Encompass LCD Series come standard with internal batteries. To protect critical devices through extended blackouts, the Encompass LCD Series utilizes external battery packs that can be daisy-chained to provide a virtually unlimited amount of runtime.


External battery packs

  • BP24XL external battery pack for EC1000LCD
  • BP48XL external battery pack for EC1500LCD and EC2000LCD
  • BP72XL external battery pack for EC3000LCD
