OVERVIEW

The CP900AVR/CP1200AVR/ CP1500AVRT provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The CP900AVR/ CP1200AVR/CP1500AVRT features 1500 Joules of surge protection. The unit provides long lasting battery backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The CP900AVR/CP1200AVR/ CP1500AVRT 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 CP900AVR/CP1200AVR/ CP1500AVRT 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 to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts.

DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity (900VA/560W for CP900AVR, 1200VA/720W for CP1200AVR and 1500VA/900W for CP1500AVRT). 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 UPS.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.

7. 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.

8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
   The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips in conjunction with the UPS unit.

BASIC OPERATION

1. Power Switch Used as the master on/ off switch for equipment connected to the battery power supplied outlets.

2. MUTE Button The button can be used to mute battery mode alerts and to set up the sensitivity. For more information, please refer to the” Function Setup Guide” section.

   • Pressing the button will turn off / on the battery mode alarm, including on battery / low battery warnings.
   • To turn the alarm off, press the MUTE button. You will hear two short beeps when the alarm is turned off.
   • To turn the alarm back on, press the MUTE button. You will hear a short beep when the alarm is turned on.

4. Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
   The UPS has five battery powered/surge suppression outlets for connected equipment to ensure temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure. (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.)

5. Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
   The UPS has five surge suppression outlets.

6. Circuit Breaker Located on the back of the UPS, the circuit breaker serves to provide overload and fault protection.

7. Wiring Fault Indicator (red) 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 UPS will not provide surge protection without being plugged into a grounded and properly wired wall outlet.

8. USB Port to PC The USB communication port allows communication between the USB port on the computer and the UPS unit. DB9 Port This port is used for connecting between the UPS and equipment designed to operate with a dry contact closure.

9. Coax/Cable/DSS Surge Protection The Coax/Cable/DSS protection ports will protect any cable modem, CATV converter, or DSS receiver.

10. Communication Protection Ports Communication protection ports, bi-directional, will protect a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection (RJ45).

11. Widely-Spaced Outlets Designed for AC Adapters The unit has two outlets spaced to allow AC power adapter blocks to be plugged into the UPS without blocking adjacent outlets.
