OVERVIEW
The LX1100G3/LX1325GU3/LX1500GU3 provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The LX1100G3/LX1325GU3/ LX1500GU3 features 890 Joules of surge protection. The unit provides long lasting battery backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The LX1100G3/ LX1325GU3/LX1500GU3 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 LX1100G3/LX1325GU3/LX1500GU3 uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to stabilize inconsistent utility power voltage to levels that are safe for connected equipment. AVR safeguards hardware and important data files by automatically increasing low utility power to a consistent and safe output voltage while preserving battery power for outages.

DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity (1100VA/660W for LX1100G3, 1325VA/810W for LX1325GU3, 1500VA/900W for LX1500GU3). 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 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. 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. 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.

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.

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.
