Minuteman Launches PRO-LCD UPS as Newest Addition to Popular PRO Series
Complete, affordable power protection for telephone, security and network systems
Dallas, TX - Para Systems, Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive power protection solutions, today announced the release of the Minuteman(TM) PRO-LCD series, a new line of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) designed to provide fail-safe protection from all power anomalies for small to medium-sized telephone, security and server systems.
The PRO-LCD is the next generation of Minuteman's highly successful PRO Series of UPSs. Since their introduction, the original PRO and PRO-E Series have been Minuteman's most widely used product line, and a favorite choice of small to medium-sized businesses seeking to protect their telephone, network, and security systems. The new PRO-LCD carries on the values that made the PRO successful: outstanding value, exceptional runtimes, and superior warranty protection.
The PRO-LCD product line protects attached equipment from catastrophic surges and spikes, along with providing automatic voltage regulation to protect equipment during brownouts. These units are also equipped with more battery capacity, providing longer run-times than competitive units during blackouts.
"The PRO Series has been the most successful product line sold under the Minuteman brand, and has been a real workhorse for our customers," commented Bill Allen, director of marketing for Para Systems. "The combination of an outstanding feature set, larger capacity batteries, LCD display, longer battery run-times, three-year warranty, and a lower price than its predecessors will guarantee the PRO-LCD a strong position in the marketplace."
The LCD display shows input and output power status, estimated battery run-time (based on attached load), and operational mode. As an additional bonus, Minuteman's SentryPlus(TM) power monitoring and management software is included free with all models. Communication between the UPS and attached equipment is accomplished through the unit's USB port. The new product line includes four all-new models: PRO500LCD (500VA), PRO700LCD (700VA), PRO1100LCD (1100VA) and PRO1500LCD (1500VA).
Power problems can wreak havoc for both business owners and consumers. Even minor power glitches that may go unnoticed can cause data corruption and severe damage to valuable electronic equipment. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) serves as an "electrical firewall", preventing catastrophic damage from blackouts, brownouts, surges and spikes. When damage to expensive equipment does occur from these types of anomalies, it is generally not covered under a manufacturer's warranty. A UPS is an essential component for protecting any type of mission critical electronic equipment.
"When business owners and managers purchase expensive security, telephone, or networking systems and do not protect them from potential damage or power outages, these devices are obviously at high risk," stated Bill Allen, Director of Marketing. "When you compare the price tag associated with downtime, along with the expense of replacing equipment, the PRO-LCD UPSs are an extremely cost-effective way to preserve and protect these investments."
Users can also benefit from the PRO-LCD's green features. The voltage regulation circuitry is automatically bypassed until needed, reducing vampire power consumption. Other power-saving features can be tapped into by using Minuteman's SentryPlus software to schedule automatic shut down and re-start of equipment during nights and weekends when many devices sit idle yet continue to consume energy resources. The units are also RoHS compliant and Para Systems offers a free battery recycling service for all Minuteman UPSs.
The PRO-LCD Series is currently available for purchase through Minuteman's extensive distribution network, systems integrators and on-line resellers. For more information, visit www.minutemanups.com/prolcd.
