The Minuteman PRO-RT2U Series: Feature-Rich and Value-Oriented Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
The Minuteman PRO-RT2U Series: Feature-Rich and Value-Oriented Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
The Minuteman PRO-RT2U Series is a value-oriented yet feature-rich Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that utilizes line-interactive technology to maintain power continuity and protect electronic devices. Designed for use with servers, telecommunications or VoIP systems, security systems, and other applications, this UPS is ideal for environments where reliable power is crucial.
The PRO-RT2U Series employs line-interactive technology, which allows the UPS to provide voltage regulation during instances of brownouts or voltage sags without drawing on battery power. This technology helps extend the battery life by preserving its charge for instances when it is truly needed, such as during complete power outages.
The UPS offers robust protection against various electrical disturbances, including spikes, surges, brownouts, and blackouts. The Buck and Boost Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) function automatically adjusts the voltage to safe levels, ensuring that connected equipment operates under stable conditions. All outlets on the PRO-RT2U are battery- and surge-protected, providing comprehensive protection against power irregularities.
The PRO-RT2U Series offers flexibility in installation, supporting both rack and tower setups. With a 2U rack height, it can be easily integrated into standard server racks or mounted on a wall using an optional kit, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and applications.
The UPS features USB communication, allowing it to connect directly to devices without the need for special drivers. The USB interface is automatically recognized by Microsoft® Windows® as a Human Interface Device (HID), similar to a mouse or keyboard, facilitating seamless integration and management. Additionally, the PRO-RT2U is SNMP-compatible, meaning it can be managed on a network with the addition of an optional SNMP management card. Certain models (NC models) come with a pre-installed network card, enhancing ease of deployment.
One of the standout features of the PRO-RT2U Series is its load-shedding capability, which is facilitated by two independent load banks. This feature allows for selective shutdown of less critical equipment during extended outages to prolong battery life for more essential devices. The independent battery bypass feature ensures that the UPS can provide surge and spike protection even when the batteries are depleted or malfunctioning. This function is crucial for maintaining equipment safety and uptime under various power conditions.
In the event of an extended power outage where the UPS batteries are fully drained, the PRO-RT2U Series is designed to automatically restart and resume providing power to connected devices once acceptable AC power is restored. This feature ensures that systems come back online without requiring manual intervention, reducing downtime and enhancing convenience for users.
The PRO-RT2U Series includes Minuteman SentryHD software, which offers extensive power monitoring capabilities. The software can automatically save open applications and shut down programs during power outages, preventing data loss and ensuring that critical processes are not abruptly interrupted. It also facilitates controlled shutdowns of connected devices, further enhancing system reliability and data integrity during power disturbances.
To protect communication equipment, the PRO-RT2U UPS provides RJ11/RJ45 spike and surge protection for phone, fax, modem, and network connections up to 1Gbps. It also includes coax protection for satellite and cable connections, offering a comprehensive solution to protect sensitive communication lines from power-related issues.
Each PRO-RT UPS system is backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, providing peace of mind and assurance of the product’s durability and reliability. Additionally, customers in the U.S.A. and Canada are covered by the $100,000 Minuteman Platinum Protection Plan®. For those seeking extended coverage, five-year warranty options are also available.
The PRO-RT2U Series UPS offers a robust and versatile solution for maintaining power continuity and protecting a wide range of electronic equipment. Its blend of line-interactive technology, comprehensive power protection features, advanced communication capabilities, and flexible installation options make it an ideal choice for diverse applications, from IT and telecommunications to security systems. With its emphasis on reliability and user-friendly features, the PRO-RT2U Series ensures that critical systems remain operational during power disturbances, minimizing downtime and safeguarding data and equipment.
