Comprehensive Line of Surge Suppressors
New features including rotating outlets, "child safety" covers,
communications protection and ruggedized units
Carrollton, Texas - May 30, 2007
Para Systems, Inc., a leader in power technology with its line of Minuteman®
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, announces a new line of surge
suppressors.
A total of ten new products have been released and are available for
immediate delivery.
The Minuteman surge suppressors can be categorized into the following four
classifications.
o Rotating outlets - Four of the new Minuteman surge suppressors have
rotating outlets that are designed to alleviate the issue of plugging a
number of multiple transformer "blocks" into a power strip without
covering other outlets.
o 6-Rotating outlet surge suppressor with coax and phone line
protection. [MMS760RCT]
o 8-Outlet/6-rotating and 2 fixed outlets surge suppressor [MMS780R]
o 10-Outlet/5-rotating and 5 fixed outlets surge suppressor with phone
line protection [MMS7100RT]
o 12-Outlet/8-rotating outlet surge suppressor with coax and phone
line protection [MMS7120RCT]
o "Child safety" surge suppressors - Designed to avoid shock from
accidental contact with electrical power. Two of the new products
feature outlets that require the sliding of a safety cover before a plug can
be inserted into the surge suppressor. This reduces the possibility of a
person inserting an object into an outlet. These surge suppressors are ideal
for schools, child care facilities and homes with small children. One of the
units (model MMS370T) also has a connection to provide protection for a
phone line. The units are:
o 7-Outlet surge suppressor with "child safety" covers [MMS370]
o 7-Outlet surge suppressor with "child safety" covers and phone line
protection [MMS370T]
o Ruggedized surge suppressors - Designed to operate in harsh
environments.
o Ruggedized 7-outlet surge suppressor [MMS570]
o Other
o Single outlet wall tap surge suppressor [MMS110]
o 3-Outlet wall tap surge suppressor with coax protection [MMS130C]
o 6-Outlet surge suppressor "twin pack"[MMS362P]
Additional major features of the new surge suppressors include:
o Wall mountable - all of the new surge suppressors are wall mountable,
thus saving desk and floor space.
o Telephone/Fax/Modem Line Protection - Several of the new surge
suppressors provide protection for coax, phone lines, fax lines and
modem lines.
o RoHS Compliant - Recognizing the need to promote environmental
responsibility, Minuteman surge suppression products are manufactured
in accordance with RoHS guidelines.

a warranty and connected equipment protection.
