OVERVIEW

The S175UC provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent and features 1200 Joules of surge protection. All units provide long lasting battery backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The S175UC ensures consistent power to your computer system and includes software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility power loss.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The S175UC 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 automatically increases low utility power and decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe output voltage.

DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
  1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity. 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 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 turned off. 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.
  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. Plug the other peripheral equipment (e.g. printer, scanner, speakers, etc.) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, sump pump, or other large electrical device into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets”. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
  3. 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, refrigerator, copier, etc.). The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips in conjunction with the UPS unit.
  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 of time, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every three months to ensure optimal battery life.
  7. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility..

CYBERPOWER GREENPOWER UPS™ TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Energy-Saving Patented Bypass Technology

CyberPower’s patented GreenPower UPSTM with Bypass Technology reduce UPS energy cost by up to 70% 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 UPSTM by passes 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 UPSTM automatically runs power through its transformer to regulate voltage and provide “safe” power. Since utility power is normal over 88% of time, the GreenPower UPSTM operates primarily in its efficient bypass mode. The GreenPower UPSTM 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.
