Endeavor On-Line Series

The Minuteman® Endeavor™ Series on-line uninterruptible power supply combines double-conversion technology with industry-leading features in a versatile case design that allows the units to be installed in many different formats and environments.

In developing one of the best-valued, highest quality UPS products on the market, the Endeavor Series has these standard features:

Key features include:

  • Floor-standing tower, 19-inch rack and cabinet installation kits included
  • 23-inch rack or cabinet installation kit optional
  • Wallmount installation kit optional
  • 3.5-inch (2U) rack/tower case style
  • Up to a 0.8 power factor (in watts) for larger capacities
  • Output receptacle control for non-critical load shedding capability
  • Extended runtime using external battery packs
  • Independent battery pack chargers to reduce battery recharge times
  • Simultaneous RS-232, USB and SNMP communications
  • Minuteman® SentryPlus™ UPS monitoring and control software
  • Front panel display with load/battery meter and status indicators
  • 3-year non-prorated warranty (including batteries)
  • Dedicated remote Emergency Power Off (EPO) port
  • 120V and 208V models available
  • Hot-swappable batteries
  • $200,000 Minuteman Platinum Protection Plan® (U.S. and Canada only)

The Endeavor Series is rich in standard features and optional accessories allowing users to order “off the shelf” products and yet retain the flexibility previously only available as a special order product.

Standard features ONLY offered on the Endeavor Series:

  • 3-year non-prorated warranty (including batteries)
  • RoHS compliancy for all models
  • Rack/Tower/Wallmount installation formats
  • Free SentryPlus software included
  • Independent battery pack chargers
  • Concurrent communications via RS-232, USB and optional SNMP card

Electrical Characteristics

Output Power Factor: All Endeavor models up to 2000VA come with a 0.8 output power factor that increases the watt capacity of the units. Offering larger capacities in smaller UPS VA sizes reduces the overall cost of the UPS solution for a specific load requirement. The 3000VA model comes with a 0.7 power factor that provides 2,100 watts capacity in a 3.5” (2U) rack space.

Output Voltage: All units in the Endeavor Series produce an electrical signal that does not vary from nominal voltage by more than 2%. Tightly regulating the output voltage increases the quality of power to connected equipment adding to its life expectancy, which lowers the total cost of ownership to users.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): THD is the distortion of a normal AC electrical signal commonly caused on UPS products when connected loads near the capacity of the units. This distortion can create internal heat build-up on sensitive equipment not designed to allow for these altered AC signals. The Endeavor Series maintains an output AC signal, at all times and with all loads, within 2% of a true sinewave.

Output Receptacle Control: The ability to extend the runtime of critical devices during an extended blackout is handled through the Endeavor’s load shedding function. Each model in the Endeavor Series comes with two independently-circuited receptacle segments. Through the use of Minuteman’s SentryPlus software or communication with the UPS through an Ethernet/SNMP connection, users can either turn on, off, or reset each segment independently of the other. By reducing the load amount on the UPS, the runtime of critical devices on the UPS battery can be extended.

Communication Features

Simultaneous RS232, USB and Ethernet/SNMP Communications: The Endeavor Series provides users with the ability to communicate with the UPS simultaneously through three separate protocols: RS232, USB and SNMP Users can now directly connect, and manage, the UPS from multiple stand-alone, or networked, computers. By including concurrent Ethernet communications, (SNMP or direct IP address), the Endeavor Series can provide detailed monitoring and management to many various environments.

Other Features

RoHS Compliancy: Recognizing the benefit of being environmentally conscious, Para Systems developed the Endeavor Series to be compliant with the European Economic Unions directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS), in electronic equipment.

Manual and Automatic Self-Testing: The Endeavor Series is designed to proactively notify users of any impending faults or failures with the UPS. This allows for preemptive repair or replacement of components or batteries preventing unexpected downtime caused by the UPS.

Dedicated EPO Port: This direct access port allows users to perform an immediate remote shutdown of the UPS in cases of emergency or when access to the UPS is restricted or inconvenient.

Battery Characteristics

Extended Runtime Capability: All models in the Endeavor Series come standard with internal batteries. To protect critical devices through extended blackouts, the Endeavor Series utilizes external battery packs that can be daisy-chained in unlimited quantities to provide a virtual unlimited amount of runtime.

Fast Battery Recharge: With independent chargers in each battery pack offered for the Endeavor Series, the maximum recharge time for depleted batteries is 4-8 hours, no matter how many battery packs are installed on a UPS. Without these chargers, if more than one battery pack is used battery charging could take more than an entire day.

Battery Pack Models: Because each UPS has different battery requirements to support its maximum load capacity, the Endeavor Series uses battery packs sized to match each UPS model:

  • ED1000RM2U and ED1000RMT2U – EDBP24XL
  • ED1500RM2U and ED1500RMT2U – EDBP48XL
  • ED2000RM2U and ED2000RMT2U – EDBP48XL
  • ED3000RM2U and ED3000RMT2U – EDBP72XL

Battery Technology: All Endeavor units and battery packs use valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA). All are safe for any type of freight transport: air, sea or ground. For added protection, all Endeavor UPS models ship with these batteries disconnected. A “Quick Installation Guide” is included in each Endeavor box to detail how to connect the batteries before turning the units on.

Hot-Swappable Batteries: All models in the Endeavor line offer battery replacement, through the front panel of the UPS, without having to remove the UPS from service. Connected loads are protected from voltage anomalies and spikes and surges while the batteries are being replaced.


LED Status Panel


Indicators include:

  1. ONLINE (green) constantly on when operating in on-line mode
  2. LINE (green) on when unit is plugged in and acceptable utility voltage present
  3. BYPASS (yellow) flashes when unit is in bypass mode
  4. LOAD (yellow) constantly on when unit is operating in the On-line or Bypass mode. Percent of load capacity indicated (25, 50, 75 and 100% with green LEDs)
  5. BATT (yellow) constantly on when the unit is operating On-Battery mode. Percent of available capacity displayed)100, 75, 50 and 25% with green LEDs
  6. OVERLOAD (red) constantly on when unit senses an overload condition
  7. FAULT (red) constantly on when unit has an internal fault and not functioning properly
  8. BATT LOW (yellow) constantly on when unit reaches a low battery warning
  9. REPLACE BATT (red) constantly on when unit senses a weak, bad or disconnected battery
  10. ON-TEST button– Pressed to turn on unit or to test
  11. OFF button – pressed to turn unit off

Minuteman SentryPlus™ Monitoring and Control Software


 

Powerful SentryPlus UPS Monitoring and Control Software Minuteman’s SentryPlus™ UPS monitoring and control software comes included with each Endeavor UPS unit at no extra charge.
