Not for use in a computer

room as defined in the Standard for the

Protection of Electronic Computer/Data

Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

CAUTION!

The UPS must be connected

to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit

breaker protection. Do not plug into an

outlet that is not grounded. If you need to

de-energize this equipment, turn off and

unplug the unit.

CAUTION!

To avoid electric shock, turn off

the unit and unplug it from the AC power

source before servicing the battery.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

This Manual Contains Important Instructions that should be followed during Installation

and Maintenance of the UPS and batteries.

INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM - Continued

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM

1. Your new UPS may be used imme-

diately upon receipt. However, after

receiving a new UPS, to ensure the

battery’s maximum charge capacity,

it is recommended that you charge

the battery for at least 8 hours. Your

UPS is equipped with an auto-charge

feature. When the UPS is plugged

into an AC outlet, the battery will

automatically charge whether the UPS

is turned on or off.

2. Note: This UPS is designed with a

safety feature to keep the system from

being turned on during shipment. The

first time you turn

the UPS on, you

will need to have

it connected to AC

power or it will not

power up.

3. With the UPS unit turned off and

unplugged, connect your computer,

monitor, and any other peripherals

requiring battery backup into the

battery power supplied outlets.

DO

NOT plug a laser printer, paper shred-

der, copier, space heater, vacuum,

sump pump or other large electrical

devices into the “Battery and Surge

Protected Outlets”. The power de-

mands of these devices may overload

and damage the UPS.

4. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire

grounded receptacle (wall outlet).

Make sure the wall branch outlet is

protected by a fuse

or circuit breaker

and does not service

equipment with large

electrical demands (e.g. air condi-

tioner, copier, etc…). The warranty

prohibits the use of extension cords,

outlet strips, and surge strips.

5. Press the power switch to turn the

unit on. The Power On indicator light

will illuminate and the unit will “beep”.

If an overload is detected, an audible

alarm will sound and the unit will emit

one long beep. To correct this, turn

the UPS off and unplug at least one

piece of equipment from the battery

power supplied outlets. Make sure the

circuit breaker is depressed and then

turn the UPS on.

6. To maintain optimal battery charge,

leave the UPS plugged into an AC

outlet at all times.

7. To store the UPS for an extended

period, cover it and store with the

battery fully charged. While in storage,

recharge the battery every three

months to ensure battery life.

8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are

located near the equipment being

attached for proper accessibility.

The warranty prohibits the use of ex-

tension cords, outlet strips, and surge

strips in conjunction with the UPS unit.

BASIC OPERATION

1. Power Switch

Used as the master on/

off switch for equipment connected to

the battery power supplied outlets.

2. MUTE Button

The button can be used

to mute battery mode alerts and to

set up the sensitivity. For more infor-

mation, please refer to the” Function

Setup Guide” section.

• Pressing the button will turn off / on

the battery mode alarm, including on

battery / low battery warnings.

• To turn the alarm off, press the MUTE

button. You will hear two short beeps

when the alarm is turned off.

• To turn the alarm back on, press the

MUTE button. You will hear a short

beep when the alarm is turned on.

3. LED Indicators

The LEDs indicators

show the UPS status, including On

Line / On Battery / AVR and Overload.

4. Battery and Surge Protected Outlets

The UPS has five battery pow-

ered/surge suppression outlets for

connected equipment to ensure

temporary uninterrupted operation

of your equipment during a power

failure.

(DO NOT plug a laser printer,

paper shredder, copier, space heater,

vacuum, sump pump or other large

electrical devices into the “Battery

and Surge Protected Outlets”. The

power demands of these devices may

overload and damage the unit.)

5. Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets

The UPS has five surge suppression

outlets.

6. Circuit Breaker

Located on the

back of the UPS, the circuit breaker

serves to provide overload and fault

protection.

7. Wiring Fault Indicator (red)

This LED

indicator will illuminate to warn the

user that a wiring problem exists, such

as bad ground, missing ground or

reversed wiring. If this is illuminated,

disconnect all electrical equipment

from the outlet and have an electrician

verify the outlet is properly wired. The

UPS will not provide surge protection

without being plugged into a ground-

ed and properly wired wall outlet.

8. USB Port to PC

The USB communi-

cation port allows communication be-

tween the USB port on the computer

and the UPS unit.

DB9 Port

This port is used for

connecting between the UPS and

equipment designed to operate with a

dry contact closure.

9. Coax/Cable/DSS Surge Protection

The Coax/Cable/DSS protection ports

will protect any cable modem, CATV

converter, or DSS receiver.

10. Communication Protection Ports

Communication protection ports,

bi-directional, will protect a

10/100/1000 Ethernet connection

(RJ45).

11. Widely-Spaced Outlets Designed

for AC Adapters

The unit has two out-

lets spaced to allow AC power adapter

blocks to be plugged into the UPS

without blocking adjacent outlets.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting a CyberPow-

er Systems UPS product. This UPS is

designed to provide unsurpassed power

protection, operation and performance

during the lifetime of the product.

UNPACKING

Inspect the UPS upon receipt.

The box should contain the following:

(a) UPS

OVERVIEW

The CP900AVR/CP1200AVR/

CP1500AVRT provides complete power

protection from utility power that is

not always consistent. The CP900AVR/

CP1200AVR/CP1500AVRT features 1500

Joules of surge protection. The unit pro-

vides long lasting battery backup during

power outages with maintenance free

batteries. The CP900AVR/CP1200AVR/

CP1500AVRT ensures consistent power

to your computer system and includes

software that will automatically save

your open files and shutdown your com-

puter system during a utility power loss.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The CP900AVR/CP1200AVR/

CP1500AVRT stabilizes inconsistent

utility power voltage to nominal levels

that are safe for equipment. Inconsistent

incoming utility power may be damaging

to important data files and hardware, but

with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR),

damaging voltage

levels are corrected

to safe levels.

AVR automatical-

ly increases low

utility power to a

consistent and safe

110/120 volts.

DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIRE-

MENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1.

Ensure that the equipment plugged

into the outlet does not exceed the

UPS’s rated capacity (900VA/560W

for CP900AVR, 1200VA/720W for

CP1200AVR and 1500VA/900W for

CP1500AVRT). If the rated capacity

of the unit is exceeded, an overload

condition may occur and cause the

UPS to shut down or the circuit

breaker to trip.

2.

There are many factors that can

affect the amount of power that

your computer system will require. It

is suggested that the load placed on

the battery outlets not exceed 80%

of the unit’s capacity.

Replacement of batteries located in an

OPERATOR ACCESS AREA

1.

When replacing batteries, replace with the same number of the following battery:

CyberPower / RB1270X2C for the CP900AVR / CP1200AVR and

CyberPower / RB1290X2 for CP1500AVRT.

2.

CAUTION!

Risk of Energy Hazard, 24 V, maximum 7 Ampere-hour battery for

CP900/1200AVR, maximum 9 Ampere-hour battery for CP1500AVRT. Before replac-

ing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High

energy conducted through these materials could cause severe burns.

3.

CAUTION!

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode

4.

CAUTION!

Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin

and eyes. It may be toxic.

5.

CAUTION!

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit cur-

rent. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

1) Remove watches rings, or other metal objects.

2) Use tools with insulated handles.

CAUTION - RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS

REMINDER:

Batteries are considered HAZARDOUS WASTE and must be disposed of

properly. Most retailers that sell lead acid batteries collect used batteries for recycling, as

required by local regulations.
