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.  Other 
features include: 

 

Light weight and small footprint. 

 

Quiet operation. 

 

Excellent non-linear current capability. 

 

LAN communications port (except A300). 

 

Automatic UPS test at turn-on. 

 

Site wiring fault indication (120 VAC models). 

 

Low voltage boost to facilitate low commercial voltage operation without battery 
utilization (except A300/A425). 

 

Transfer voltage adjustment switches (except A300/A425). 

 
 
 
RECEIVING INSPECTION 

SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS! 

 

Remove and inspect the unit for shipping damage.  If damage is found, immediately notify the 
carrier and your dealer.  If no damage is found, save both the shipping container and the packing 
foam in case of a later need to return the unit to the factory, or ship it to another location. 

 
 
 
WARRANTY REGISTRATION 
 

Complete the warranty registration card provided in the back of this manual and mail it within ten 
days of receipt to register your warranty.  Failure to register your warranty renders it non-valid. 

 
 
 
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Read this manual carefully before operating the UPS.  All instructions should be followed 
during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
