- 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

- Hot-swappable batteries
- RoHS compliant
- $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.
