IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all
instructions carefully during installation and operation of the unit.
Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate
your UPS.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a
temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and
humidity range).
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover.
There are no user serviceable parts Inside.
CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be energized by the battery even
when the AC input power is disconnected.
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 lo de-energize this equipment, tum off and unplug the unit.
CAUTION! To avoid electric shock. tum off the unit and unplug it from the
AC power source before installing a computer component.
CAUTION! 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! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided
with 20 empress maximum branch circuit over current protection In accordance
with the National electric Code, ANSIJNFPA 70.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! CyberPower Systems does
not sell products for life support or medical applications. DO NOT use in any
circumstance that would affect operation and safety of life support equipment,
any medical applications or patient care.
DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire or electric

INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting a CyberPower Systems Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). This UPS meets the Energy Efficiency Certification of the California Energy Commission (CEC). CyberPower Systems is dedicated to producing energy efficient products to maximize our contribution to the environment.
UNPACKING
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following:
(a) UPS unit (b) User’s manual (c) USB device cable (except for SE425G)
*Power Panel® Personal Edition software is available on our website. Please visit www.cpsww.com and go to the Software Section for free download.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
- Ensure that the equipment plugged into the UPS does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity. 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.
- There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your electronic equipment will require. For optimal system performance keep the load below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
-
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.
-
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 (eg. 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.
-
To protect a fax, phone, or modem line, connect a telephone cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone cable from one of the UPS OUT jacks to the modem port on the computer. The other UPS OUT jack can be used to protect a telephone or fax machine.
-
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.
-
Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate green and the unit will “beep” twice.
-
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 tum the UPS on.
-
To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
-
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.
-
Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
BASIC OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
-
Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
The unit has four battery powered and surge protected outlets to ensure temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure. (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.) -
Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
The unit has four surge suppression outlets. -
Power Switch
To turn the UPS on, press the power button for approximately 2 seconds – you will hear a constant tone (1 second) – and release after a short beep.
To turn the UPS off, press the power button for approximately 2 seconds – you will hear a constant tone (1 second) – and release after two short beeps.
Alarm setting: The audible alarm can be turned OFF or ON by quickly pressing the POWER button twice. The default setting is for the Alarm On. To turn the Alarm OH, quickly press the power button twice. You will hear two short beeps when the Alarm is turned Ott. To turn the Alarm back ON, quickly press the power button twice. You will hear a single short beep when the Alarm is turned On. *When the Alarm is turned Off, there will be no audible notification when the UPS reaches a low battery state. -
Power On Indicator
This LED is illuminated when the utility power is normal and the UPS outlets are providing power, free of surges and spikes. -
Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator
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 unit will not provide surge protection without being plugged into a grounded and properly wired wall outlet. -
Communication Protection Ports
Communication protection ports will protect any standard modem, fax, or telephone line. (RJ11) -
Circuit Breaker
Located on the side of the UPS, the circuit breaker provides overload and fault protection.
USB Port to PC (except for SE425G)
The port allows connection and communication between the USS port on the computer and the UPS unit. The UPS communicates its status to the PowerPanel6 Personal Edition software. -
Outlets Designed for AC Adapters
The UPS unit has four widely-spaced outlets, so AC power adapters can be plugged into the UPS without overlapping or blocking adjacent outlets.
