MINUTEMAN EC1000LCD-NC 1000VA 900W 120V UPS with SNMP-NV6 card

Purpose and audience

The Minuteman EC1000LCD-NC is a 1000VA online UPS that delivers 900W of true sine wave power to connected equipment. It suits network closets, servers or workstations that require continuous, clean 120V supply with a power factor of .9.

Installation and common issues

The unit ships with the SNMP-NV6 card already installed and includes six controllable NEMA 5-15R outlets plus a DB-9 port for local management. A NEMA 5-15P input plug connects to a standard 120V circuit; the wide 0-160VAC input window reduces unnecessary battery transfers. Users sometimes forget to enable outlet control in the management software, leaving non-critical loads powered during extended outages.

Runtime and interface limits

At full 900W load the internal sealed lead-acid battery provides only 2 minutes of runtime, rising to 10 minutes at half load. Recharge to 90% takes 8 hours from total discharge, so repeated outages will erode available backup time. The DB-9 and SNMP interfaces support monitoring but do not extend battery capacity; the 140 joule surge rating handles minor transients but not large lightning-induced spikes.
