OVERVIEW

The CPS1500AVR UPS provides complete power protection from utility power that isn't always

consistent. The CPS1500AVR features surge protection against power surges and maintenance free

batteries for long lasting battery backup during power outages. In addition to ensuring consistent

power to your computer system, the CPS1500AVR also includes software that will automatically shutdown your computer system during a utility

power loss.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The

CPS1500AVR stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to nominal levels that are safe for equipment. Inconsistent 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 automatically increases low utility power or decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1.

Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (1500VA/900W for CPS1500AVR).

If the

rated capacities of the unit are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

1.

Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, 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.

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

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.

3.

To protect a fax, phone or modem, connect a telephone cable or network cable from the wall jack outlet to

the IN jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone cable or network cable from the OUT jack of the UPS to a fax

machine, telephone, modem, or network devices.

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

conditioner, 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.

9.

Professional Rack Mount UPS provides one serial port, one dry contact port and one USB port to allow connection and communication

between the UPS and computers or equipment. The USB port and Serial Port l (Primary) allow the shutdown of computer systems which

are running PowerPanel® Business Edition Agent but only one of these ports should be used at a time with the USB port taking priority.

When there is a power failure, the computer connected to either Serial Port I or the USB port will start to shut down after a user controlled

delay based on the settings given to the software. Serial port ll can be used to provide some basic information via a dry contact setup for

equipment with that option.

Advanced Energy-Saving Patented Bypass Technology

CyberPower’s patented GreenPower UPS™ with Bypass Technology reduces UPS energy costs by up to 75%

compared to conventional UPS models. Even when utility power is normal, conventional UPS models constantly

pass power through a transformer. By contrast, under normal conditions the advanced circuitry of a GreenPower

UPS™ bypasses the transformer. As a result, the power efficiency is significantly increased while decreasing

waste heat, using less energy, and reducing energy costs.

When an abnormal power condition occurs, the GreenPower UPS™ automatically runs power through its

transformer to regulate voltage and provide “safe” power. Since utility power is normal over 88% of the time, the

GreenPower UPS™ operates primarily in its efficient bypass mode.

The GreenPower UPS™ is also manufactured in accordance with the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive making

it one of the most environmentally-friendly on the market today.
