2U Rack/Tower UPS

The Minuteman Encompass EC1500RT2UNC is a double-conversion online UPS rated at 1500VA and 1350W with a 0.9 power factor. It delivers pure sine-wave output at 120V to six NEMA 5-15R receptacles, making it suitable for servers, network gear and sensitive electronics that require clean, uninterrupted power.

Installation and common issues

The unit fits a standard 2U rack space or stands as a tower and weighs approximately 45.10 lb, so two people or a lift are recommended for mounting. Communications are handled through DB-9, USB and an installed SNMP card simultaneously, while a dedicated EPO port allows remote emergency shutdown; the only frequent hurdle is configuring the SNMP card for the network before the first power event.

Sustained-load behaviour

At full 1350W load the battery provides five minutes of runtime, extending to fifteen minutes at half load, after which the sealed lead-acid cells require eight hours to reach 90 per cent charge. The double-conversion topology keeps output frequency within ±0.2Hz and voltage stable across the 0-160VAC input range, so connected equipment sees no transfer-time disturbance during extended brownouts or blackouts.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the EC1500RT2UNC is operating correctly after installation?

Check the front-panel LCD for a steady "Online" status and 120 V output; confirm SentryHD software over USB or the installed SNMP card reports 1350 W capacity, 0.9 power factor and battery health; run a self-test from the panel or software to validate the 5-minute full-load runtime.

What ships with the EC1500RT2UNC and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the 2U rack/tower UPS, SentryHD software media and a pre-installed SNMP communications card; the DB-9, USB and RJ-45 cables for those ports, rack-mount rails and replacement battery cartridge BM0070 are not included.

Which capacity of the ENCOMPASS 1500 VA line should I choose for my load?

This model delivers 1500 VA / 1350 W at 120 V with 5 minutes at full load and 15 minutes at half load; select it when your connected equipment draws up to 1350 W and you need true sine-wave online protection in a 2U form factor.
