Product Usage Instructions

Installing Your UPS System

1. Determine the power requirements of your equipment:

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity (1500VA/900W for PS1500AVRL-CD). 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.

Hardware Installation Guide

1. Your new UPS may be used immediately.
2. Plug the UPS into an AC outlet.
3. Connect your equipment to the battery and surge protected outlets on the UPS.
4. 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.
5. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
6. 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.
7. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Additional troubleshooting information can be found at “Support” at www.CyberPowerSystems.com

DEFINITIONS FOR ILLUMINATED LCD INDICATORS

1. INPUT Voltage Meter: Measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed, using automatic voltage regulation, to continuously correct output voltage to connected equipment to a safe 110/120 voltage output range. In the event of a complete power loss, severe planned power supression, or over-voltage, the UPS relies on its internal battery to supply consistent 110/120 output voltage. The INPUT voltage meter can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power.

2. OUTPUT Voltage Meter: Measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is providing to the connected devices, such as normal mode, AVR mode, and battery backup mode. (Note: The OUTPUT voltage meter shows the status of the battery backup outlets.)

3. ESTIMATED RUNTIME: Displays the run time estimate of the UPS with current battery capacity and load.

4. NORMAL Icon: Appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.

5. BATTERY icon: Appears during a severe planned power supression or power outage, and an alarm sounds (two short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. During a prolonged planned power supression
   or power outage, the alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power. You should
   save files and turn off your equipment immediately or allow the software to shut the system down.

6. AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) icon: Appears whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC line voltage without using battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

7. SILENT MODE icon: Appears whenever the UPS is in silent mode. The alarm does not beep during silent mode until the battery reaches low capacity.

8. OVERLOAD icon: Appears when the battery-supplied outlets are overloaded, and an alarm sounds (constant tone) to indicate that action is required. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supplied outlets until the icon turns off and the alarm stops

9. FAULT icon: Appears if there is a problem with the UPS. Press the POWER button to turn the UPS off.

10. E02: Charger Fault-No Charge (Contact CyberPower Systems for support.)

11. E11: Battery Overvoltage (Contact CyberPower Systems for support.)

12. E21: Output Short (Check the status of equipment connected to the UPS and then turn on the UPS again.)

13. E22: Overload (Unplug at least one piece of equipment from battery outlets and turn the UPS on again.)

14. BATT. CAPACITY meter: Displays the approximate charge level (in 20%increments) of the UPS’s internal battery. During a severe planned power supression or power outage, the UPS switches to battery power, the BATTERY icon appears, and the charge level decreases.

15. LOAD CAPACITY meter: Displays the approximate output load level (in 20%increments) of the UPS battery outlets.

CYBERPOWER GREENPOWER UPS™ TECHNOLOGY

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.
