New UPSs Offer Enhanced Performance and More Features at Competitive Prices

Carrollton, Texas - November 1, 2005 - Executives with MINUTEMAN® UPS have announced the release of three new additions to their award-winning Enterprise rackmount UPS line. The new line-interactive products, rated at 700VA, 1000VA and 1500VA, are designed to fit within a 1U rack slot while providing complete protection for sophisticated equipment from all aspects of power problems.

"This new product line is comprised of compact units with advanced features for the support of network infrastructure, Audio/Video equipment and Security/CCTV applications," said Rick Hunteman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for MINUTEMAN UPS. "Developed to provide reliable and clean power in both AC and battery modes, its 1U design makes it an ideal solution for today's valuable real estate in racks and cabinets. Our aggressive pricing, feature rich design and unparalleled three year warranty make them the best UPS value available today."

MINUTEMAN UPS incorporated advanced features into the products including front panel displays with detailed indicators for UPS and AC status, along with load metering and battery charge percentages. Using line-interactive technology, all three units provide a true sine wave output, intelligent battery management, hot-swappable batteries, simultaneous support of USB and RS232 ports and MINUTEMAN's exclusive Independent Battery Bypass™ feature.

All models include two independently controlled output receptacle segments for load shedding of non-critical equipment during extended blackouts and supplying longer runtimes for critical devices. Additional remote power management and diagnostic features are provided with the bundled MINUTEMAN Sentry Business™ software or through SNMP support via an optional internal card slot.

The entire Enterprise 1U Rackmount line is available through MINUTEMAN's standard domestic and international channels. Estimated retail pricing for the series ranges from US$429 to $699.

The Enterprise 1U line includes an industry-leading three-year parts and labor warranty on all electronics and internal batteries. The MINUTEMAN Platinum Protection Plan® protects properly connected equipment for up to $40,000.
