Product Features
Technical Overview
This on-line UPS employs double conversion technology, continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to AC, delivering pure sine wave output that is compatible with sensitive electronic equipment. The 0 ns transfer time ensures uninterrupted power supply, eliminating any gap during switchover to battery mode. Input voltage accepts a wide range from 0 V AC to 160 V AC, with fixed 120 V AC nominal input, while output provides adjustable voltages of 110 V AC, 120 V AC, or 127 V AC at 60 Hz frequency.
The unit incorporates an EMI/RFI noise filter and a surge energy rating of 254 J to protect against line noise and transient voltage spikes. Network management capabilities include SNMP support for remote monitoring and control via Minuteman SentryHD software, which is included. Battery backup is provided by a single sealed lead-acid battery that is hot-swappable and user-replaceable, supporting 3 minutes at full load and 10 minutes at half load.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the power capacity of the Minuteman EC3000LCD UPS?
The EC3000LCD provides 3000 VA (3 kVA) of apparent power and 2700 watts (2.7 kW) of real power capacity. This substantial capacity supports multiple servers, network devices, or other critical equipment simultaneously, making it suitable for small server rooms, network closets, or medical installations where high power demand exists.
How long will this UPS run on battery power during an outage?
At full load (2.7 kW), the UPS provides approximately 3 minutes of runtime, allowing sufficient time for connected systems to perform graceful shutdowns. At half load (1.35 kW), runtime extends to about 10 minutes, which can maintain essential operations through brief outages or provide extended time for backup generators to engage.
What type of power output does this UPS provide?
This on-line UPS delivers pure sine wave output, which is identical to utility power quality. Pure sine wave is essential for sensitive electronics, active PFC power supplies, and medical equipment that can malfunction or be damaged by the modified sine wave output produced by some lower-end UPS models.
How many outlets does the EC3000LCD have and what types?
The UPS features nine outlets total: eight NEMA 5-15/20R outlets (standard 15A/20A) and one NEMA L5-30R outlet (30A locking). This combination accommodates a mix of standard office equipment and higher-power devices like servers or power distribution units, providing flexible connectivity for diverse equipment loads.
Can this UPS be managed remotely?
Yes, the EC3000LCD supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for network-based monitoring and control. It also includes Minuteman SentryHD software for comprehensive power management, allowing remote configuration, automated shutdown sequences, and real-time status monitoring from any network-connected computer.
Is the battery user-replaceable and what type is used?
The UPS uses a single sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery that is both hot-swappable and user-replaceable. Hot-swappable capability means the battery can be replaced without shutting down connected equipment, ensuring continuous protection. The battery is designed for long service life and meets environmental standards for safe operation in office and data center environments.
