CPS1000AI Power Inverter User Guide
This guide contains important information regarding the safety, operation,
maintenance, and storage of this product. Failure to read this guide and follow
the directions could result in injury and/or property damage.
Important Safety Information
Before installing and using the CyberPower AI series power inverter please read
the manual. Misusing or incorrectly connecting the Inverter may damage the
equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following safety
instructions and pay special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements
in the manual.
Do not operate the inverter near flammable materials, fumes, or gases.
Always use the inverter where there is adequate ventilation. Do not
obstruct the ventilation slots.
Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids.
Proper cooling is essential when operating the inverter. Refrain from
placing the inverter near the vehicle's heat vent or in direct sunlight.
Always turn the inverter off by removing it from the DC accessory socket or
remove the battery terminals when not in use.
Check the warning labels on battery chargers or adapters before
connecting them to the inverter. Do not connect the battery chargers or
adapters with warnings about using with inverters.
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the CyberPower AI series power Inverter. To enjoy all the
features and benefits of the inverter, please read and follow all instructions
completely.
The CyberPower AI series power inverter is a portable source of 110/120 volt AC
power. The AC Power converts DC battery power from your vehicle into standard
110/120 volt AC power, allowing you to power most notebook computers, cell
phone chargers, camcorders, and other electronic products drawing AC power.

Installation Directions
This section provides information on cables and fuses to help you plan for your
installation and provide procedures for installing the CPS1000AI inverter.
To properly install you will need:
• Wiring configuration drawing
• Choose an appropriate location
• Calculate your battery requirements
• Calculate the cable size for your inverter
• Select the correct fuses or circuit breakers

* Note: Cable, fuse and battery are not included and must be supplied by user.
A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) will blow a fuse in
the inverter and may permanently damage the unit. Damage caused
CAUTION
by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an electrical shock
hazard. To prevent irritation and burns, wear protective eyewear and
WARNING
clothing when you install the inverter or work with the batteries.Take
special care to ensure that metal tools and personal metal objects like
rings and bracelets do not contact the battery terminals.
Choose an appropriate location
The inverter must be installed in a location that is:
Dry -- Do not allow water or other liquids to contact the unit.
Cool -- Ambient temperature should be between 32ºF and 105ºF (0ºC and 40ºC).
Ventilation -- Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance around the inverter for
air flow.
Safe -- Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries or in any
compartment capable of storing flammable liquids like gasoline.
Close to battery -- Do not use excessive DC cable lengths: they increase wire
resistance and reduce input power. Longer AC wires are preferable to longer DC
wires: wire resistance, and therefore voltage drop is less and the cost is lower.
Protected from battery gases -- Do not mount the inverter where it will be

exposed to gases produced by batteries. Battery gases are corrosive, and
prolonged exposure to battery gases will damage the inverter.
Calculating Battery Requirements
Battery type and battery capacity strongly affect the performance of the inverter.
Therefore, you need to identify the device loads of your inverter will be powering.
Once you know how much power you will be using, you can determine how much
battery capacity you need.
* CyberPower recommends that you have as much battery capacity as possible.
Consult "Battery Discharger Table" for a detailed explanation of how to determine
the appropriate capacity of batteries for your needs.

For example, as show in the above graph, using a 50Ah battery (batteries), if the
average power usage will be 500 watts, the operating time will be about 50
minutes.

* Amp-hour (Ah) Capacity
Amp-hour capacity is a measure of how many amps a battery can deliver for a specified length of
Auxiliary Auxiliary
time-usually 20 hours. For example, a typical marine or RV battery rated for 50 Ah can deliver 2.5

amps for 20 hours (2.5 A x 20 hours = 50 Ah).
The inverter must only be connected to a 12 volt battery system. It will not
operate on other voltages.
