Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered with double-conversion online technology, the EC1000LCD continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and then back to clean AC, providing complete isolation from utility power anomalies. This results in a pure sine wave output that is compatible with active PFC power supplies found in modern servers and networking gear.
The unit accepts a 120V AC input with a wide input voltage range from 0V to 160V AC, offering robust protection against brownouts and overvoltages. It delivers output at 110V, 120V, or 127V AC at 60 Hz. A 140-joule surge energy rating and integrated EMI/RFI noise filtering provide additional protection against transient spikes and line noise.
Battery System
Powered by a single sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery that is user-replaceable and hot-swappable, allowing for battery replacement without shutting down connected equipment.
- Sealed & Non-spillable

User Manual
FAQ
What is the difference between VA and Watts for this UPS?
VA (Volt-Amps) represents the apparent power capacity, while Watts represents the real power capacity. For this Minuteman EC1000LCD, the VA rating is 1000 VA (1 kVA), and the corresponding Watt rating is 900W. You should ensure the total wattage of your connected equipment does not exceed 900W for proper support and to achieve the specified runtime.
How long will the UPS run on battery power?
The runtime depends on the total load connected. At the maximum load of 900 watts, the battery will provide approximately 2 minutes of runtime, allowing for a controlled shutdown. At a reduced load of 450 watts (half load), the runtime extends to approximately 10 minutes. Actual runtime can vary based on battery age, condition, and environmental factors.
What type of power output does this UPS provide?
This is a double-conversion online UPS that provides a pure sine wave output. This is the cleanest form of AC power, identical to or better than utility power, and is required for the safe and efficient operation of sensitive electronics like servers, medical equipment, and devices with active Power Factor Correction (PFC) power supplies.
How many devices can I plug into this UPS?
The UPS is equipped with six NEMA 5-15R outlets. All outlets are backed by battery and surge protection. It is important to manage the total connected load so it does not surpass the unit's 900-watt capacity to ensure proper backup operation and avoid overloading the system.
Can I manage this UPS over a network?
Yes, the EC1000LCD is SNMP manageable. This allows you to integrate it into network monitoring systems to receive alerts, check status, and perform administrative functions remotely. It also includes a USB (HID compliant) port and a serial port for direct connection to a server or computer for management using the included SentryHD software.
Is the battery user-replaceable?
Yes, the sealed lead-acid battery is designed to be user-replaceable. Furthermore, it is hot-swappable, meaning you can replace the battery module while the UPS is still operating and powering your connected equipment, ensuring zero downtime during maintenance.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 1 kVA, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 120 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
