Its full Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) boost/buck technology delivers a consistent and clean AC power, protecting connected equipment and preventing costly business interruptions. This UPS is GreenPower UPS™ Bypass circuitry patented to save on energy costs by reducing energy consumption and heat buildup. The UPS unit incorporates microprocessor- based full digital control and includes PowerPanel® Business software providing the user unsurpassed flexibility and control. An optional SNMP/HTTP Remote Management adapter (RMCARD) supports remote management and control of the machine through a standard web browser.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR (AVR)
The incoming utility power may be damaging to important data and hardware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation, the computer will not experience damaging voltage levels. The AVR automatically increases low or decreases high voltage to a safe and consistent output voltage.
System Block Diagram CyberPower GreenPower UPS Technology
CyberPower’s patented GreenPower UPS with Bypass Technology are ENERGY STAR® complainant ensuring lower power consumption and energy costs 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.

EPO AND ROO CONFIGURATION

The Emergency Power Off (EPO) port is a safety feature that can be used to immediately shut down the UPS and cut off its power supply to connected equipment. It is necessary to manually press the power switch on the LCD module to restart the UPS and reapply power to connected equipment.
The Remote On/Off (ROO) shares the same port with EPO and those two functions can be used at the same time. ROO is a remote power control function which allows users not only to power on but also power off the UPS from a remote location.

Installation

1. Verify the UPS is off and unplugged.

2. The EPO/ROO interface is an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. Follow the appropriate circuit diagram below to wire the provided EPO cable to your EPO/ROO configuration. Connect isolated dry contacts and use ONLY latching switch.
   OPTION 1: USER SUPPLIED NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH (RECOMMENDED) OPTION 2: USER SUPPLIED NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCH (RECOMMENDED)
   

3. After wiring, make sure the external EPO/ROO switch is not activated to enable UPS output.

4. Plug the UPS into an AC outlet and turn the UPS on via power switch on the LCD module.

5. Activate the external EPO/ROO switch to test the function. Check the status change of UPS from its LCD module.

6. For EPO user: De-activate the external EPO switch and restart the UPS via power switch on the LCD model. For ROO user: Press the external ROO switch again to restart the UPS.

Restriction on ROO
A. ROO can only turn on the UPS when utility is available.
B. ROO becomes inactive if the UPS is shut down due to Fault, Low Battery, or EPO; it is necessary to manually
press the power switch on the LCD module to restart the UPS and reapply power to connected equipment.
C. ROO is active only when UPS power status is the same as ROO circuit. If they are different, manually adjust the external ROO switch to synchronize current UPS status.
For instance, the UPS is turned off via power switch on the LCD module; however, the ROO switch stays in “on” position, which means the contact is closed. Users have to manually press the external ROO switch to “off” position, making contact open, to reactivate the ROO, verifying the power status shown on LCD module and ROO switch is on the same page. And then users can press the external ROO switch again to turn on the UPS.
Power switch on the LCD module, software and external ROO switch can all turn on/off the UPS.

DRY CONTACT

This UPS offers users the solution for UPS status monitoring via two output relays. Refer to Network Operation in this manual, verifying the UPS is connected to a computer with PowerPanel Business software installed or is equipped with RMCARD. Follow below circuit to wire your dry contact port and choose your preferred monitoring status via those interfaces.

CAUTION! Risk of Energy Hazard, 48V, maximum 6 Ampere-hour battery. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns. (PRL1500RT2UC)
CAUTION! Risk of Energy Hazard, 48V, maximum 9 Ampere-hour battery. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns. (PRL3000RT2UC)
CAUTION! The used batteries are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed through recycling. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. Dispose of the batteries according to the local regulations.
CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION! Do not replace batteries while the UPS is in battery mode.
CAUTION! When the battery pack is disconnected, the loads connected to the UPS are not protected from power failure.
CAUTION! Do not use a damaged or deformed battery pack.
Take the following precautions before replacing the battery:

1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground. CONTACT WITH ANY PART OF A GROUNDED BATTERY CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).

Battery Replacement Procedure

1. Remove faceplate and unscrew the thumbscrews on battery cover and then open the battery cover.
   Note: Thumbscrews are designed fixed on the battery cover, do not remove them from the metal cover.

2. Disconnect the battery and battery management module connector.

3. Insert the new battery pack. Assemble the connectors, thumbscrews, and faceplate. Recharge the unit for at least 30 hours to ensure the UPS performs expected runtime.

Reminder: Battery Change Date is optional setup information for users to record the installation date of battery pack.
It can be adjusted through LCD module in Advanced Setup Menu or through software.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Wait 10 seconds. reset the circuit breaker, and then turn the UPS on.
Batteries are discharged.| Recharge the UPS for at least I hour.
UPS has been damaged by a surge or spike.| Contact CyberPower for repair.
Non-critical outlets have turned off automatically due to an overload in battery mode.| NCL outlets will be turned on automatically as utility is restored. To avoid recurring. check “Off on Overload” setting in Outlet Control Menu and disable the function.
UPS does not perform expected runtime.| Batteries are not fully charged.| Recharge the batteries by leaving the UPS plugged in.
Batteries are degraded.| Contact CyberPower about replacement batteries.
Ambient temperature is high.| The battery features an over temperature
self-protection. If it triggers as the UPS is in battery mode. the output power will be cut off immediately. To prevent this, the UPS will shorten the runtime automatically when the temperature is high. Maintain sufficient ventilation around the UPS and the ambient temperature around 77°F / 25°C to have the best performance.
UPS cannot be turned on.| UPS is not connected to an AC outlet.| The unit must be connected to a 100 – 120V or 100 – 12W outlet. (See TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS section)
Batteries are worn out.| Contact CyberPower about replacement batteries.
Mechanical problem.| Contact CyberPower for repair.
Part of hard reboot process has been performed,| Long press of the power switch to forcibly shut down the UPS when it freezes. When the UPS is off. long press of the power switch to light up the display screen for a few seconds. This does not turn on the UPS. Refer to BASIC OPERATION section to correctly turn on the UPS.
PowerPanel Business is inactive.| The serial cable or USB cable is not connected.| Connect the cable to your UPS and computer. Use the cable that came with the unit if your own
communication cable does not work.
The serial cable or USB cable is connected to the wrong or defected port.| Try another port on the computer.
“Fault” or “Error” message is appearing on display screen.| An internal malfunction may have occurred.| Please refer to Fault Warning Display and Alarm in the LCD OPERATION GUIDE section. If the fault persists, take note and contact CyberPower for repair.
UPS cannot work properly
while attached to a
generator.| The size of generator is not suitable for current load.| The continuous generator capacity rating must be at least twice the total load, including the UPS and all other devices attached to the generator; otherwise, the generator may not be able to hold the voltage and frequency within the input tolerance of the UPS, causing the UPS switching from utility to battery mode back and forth. Reduce the connected load or upgrade the generator.
The UPS is too sensitive to power events.| The quality and stability of the generator power may not be as good as your local utility. The frequent blackouts and waveform distortions could lead the UPS to consider the input power inappropriate and will switch to battery
mode to provide clean power to attached load, draining the battery. Refer to LCD OPERATION GUIDE section to desensitize the UPS via LCD module, PowerPanel Business software or RMCARD interface (if installed).
Note: Lowering the sensitivity setting makes the UPS tolerate more power events, but it also increases the transfer time of the UPS. Some sensitive equipment cannot accept extended transfer time. Test to check if there is a load drop when the UPS is switching to battery mode.
