MINUTEMAN INTRODUCES THE ULTIMATE UPS SELECTION SYSTEM

NEW QUICKPICK 3.0 AUTOMATES UPS SIZING FOR VENDORS

Carrollton, Texas (March 15, 1996) -- MINUTEMAN is now providing resellers
and distributors of MINUTEMAN's uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with
QUICKPICK -- the fastest, easiest, and most advanced tool for determining
their customers' UPS needs.

QUICKPICK is the only electronic tool in the industry that configures
system load (how much power equipment uses) and UPS size. It was designed
as a standardized tool for MINUTEMAN vendors to use in determining which
UPS is the best solution for a specific application without having to deal
with lengthy calculations and confusing run charts.

"In speaking with our vendors, we found that sizing the UPS for any given
application was the most difficult part of the process," said Judson
Rogers, marketing communications manager. "This new program eliminates the
sizing problem. There are no more calculations or load factors to
consider, which means the customer gets the right product the first time
and there are fewer support calls and product returns."

The program is organized alphabetically by hardware manufacturer and
provides quick, easy access to a comprehensive list of telecommunications,
computer, and POS equipment and their system load. Once the load is
determined, it is entered into a given location and the program will
automatically display the best MINUTEMAN solutions for that application at
various backup times from an industry standard of 5 - 10 minutes to 8
hours.

The newly released version 3.0 includes calculations for international
applications using 230V power, product specifications, and competitive
product comparisons that help vendors move customers to MINUTEMAN
products.

Updated quarterly, QUICKPICK can be customized with sales locations,
contact information, order forms, and more to promote a vendor's
business.

Vendors can contact MINUTEMAN at 1-800-238-7272 for copies of QUICKPICK or
details on customizing the program for their business. MINUTEMAN also
provides a web page -- the Power Line -- at www.minuteman-ups.com that
houses the same program for vendors who wish to submit an on-line quote.

MINUTEMAN, a privately held company founded in 1982, is a leading provider
of uninterruptible power supplies for network systems, telecommunications
equipment, microcomputers, minicomputers, cash registers/POS systems and
office equipment. MINUTEMAN also manufactures power management software
