SUPPORTS ACTIVE PFC POWER SUPPLIES
This CyberPower UPS system delivers sine wave
output, which is ideal for seamless operation
of computers using high efficiency switching
power supplies with Active Power Factor
Correction (Active PFC), home entertainment
systems, and other sensitive electronics.
OVERVIEW
The CST1500SUC provides complete power
protection from utility power that is not always
consistent. The CST1500SUC features 1445
Joules of surge protection. The unit provides
long lasting battery backup during power
outages with maintenance free batteries. The
CST1500SUC 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 CST1500SUC 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 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.
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.
