CARROLLTON, Texas — Para Systems announced on Wednesday the release of the Minuteman Entrepid Series of uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). The company says the new product line offers complete power protection designed to protect valuable equipment such as desktop computers, file servers, network devices, security systems, voice communications equipment and home entertainment systems.
The Entrepid Series uses automatic voltage regulation (AVR) technology to protect connected equipment from power brownouts and over-voltages, while also incorporating surge and spike protection. These new models also provide critical battery backup during power outages. The product line includes four models ranging in capacity from 500VA to 1500VA.
According to Minuteman, the LCD display on the Entrepid Series enables users to monitor all aspects of the UPS and utility power at a glance. The LCD shows power condition status, estimated battery backup time, battery capacity, total load and other conditions.
Along with the LCD display, users have the ability to monitor power conditions via Minuteman’s SentryHD power monitoring software. Minuteman says users have real-time monitoring capabilities of power status, along with the ability to plug into an existing SNMP network via the USB port on the UPS, using the SentryHD shutdown agent running of a remote computer.
Minuteman’s Entrepid products feature six on-battery receptacles, including two that are transformer-friendly, as well as two surge-only receptacles. The company adds that all models feature hot-swappable battery replacement and independent battery bypass, allowing the UPS to function in AC Normal mode even when the batteries are dead, providing voltage regulation, surge and spike protection.
