Capacities of Encompass Series solutions also range from 1000VA to 3000VA, a 0.9 power factor, and an LCD status display. But these models feature a three-year warranty, including batteries. 

These products, which are compatible with Minuteman’s SentryHD power management software, also accept optional environmental monitoring, programmable relay, and SNMP network cards.
