IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the
unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate your UPS.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and humidity range).
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover except to service the battery. No user serviceable parts inside
except for battery.
CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be energized by the battery even when the AC input power is disconnected.
CAUTION! UPS must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Do not plug into an outlet that is not
grounded. If you need to de-energize this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery or installing a
computer component.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit over current protection in
accordance with the national Code, ANSI / NFPA 70.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! CyberPower Systems does not sell products for life support or medical
applications. DO NOT use in any circumstance that would affect operation or safety of any life support equipment or with any medical
applications or patient care.
DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use with or near an aquarium.
Condensation from the aquarium can cause the unit to short out.
DO NOT USE WITH LASER PRINTERS! The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.

OVERVIEW
The CP1285AVRLCD provides automatic voltage regulation for inconsistent utility power. The
CP1285AVRLCD features 1080 Joules of surge protection, and provides battery backup during power
outages. The CP1285AVRLCD ensures consistent power to your computer system and its included
software will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility
power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The CP1285AVRLCD stabilizes inconsistent utility power. The incoming utility power may be damaging
to important data files, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation, the computer will not experience damaging voltage levels. An Automatic
Voltage Regulator automatically increases low or decreases high voltage to a consistent, computer safe 110v/120v. The unit's powerful
sealed lead-acid batteries will provide power only if the incoming voltage drops below 90v or increases above 140v.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the batteries for at least 16 hours is recommended to ensure
that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. A loss of charge may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the
batteries, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the ON as well as the OFF position.
2. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Zip drive, Jazz
drive, Tape drive, etc...) into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug your peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-
time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum or other large electrical
device into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
3. To surge protect a network connection, connect a network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Then connect a
network cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the network device.
4. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding 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. refrigerator, 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" once.
6. 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. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and
then turn the UPS on.
7. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
8. To store your 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.

3 LCD Module Display.
High resolution and intelligent LCD display shows all the UPS information with icons and messages. For more information please check the
"Definitions for Illuminated LCD Indicators" section.
4 LCD Display Toggle/Selected Switch
The switch can be used to select the LCD display contents including Input Voltage, Output Voltage and Estimated Run
Time. The toggle frequency is set to one time per second. Holding the switch for more than two seconds while running
on battery will silence the buzzer.
5 Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
The unit has four battery powered/surge protected outlets for connected equipment and ensures temporary
uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure.
6 Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
The unit has four always on surge suppression outlets.
7 Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator
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, user is advised to disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician check to ensure the outlet is
properly wired. The unit will not provide surge protection without being plugged into a grounded and properly wired wall outlet.
8 Communication Protection Ports
Communication protection ports will protect any standard modem, fax , telephone line, broadband network or Ethernet connection.
9 Circuit Breaker
Located on the side of the UPS, the circuit breaker serves to provide overload and fault protection.

INPUT
The LCD display indicates a variety of UPS
operational conditions. All descriptions apply
when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet
and turned on or when the UPS is on battery.
NORMAL icon: This icon appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.
BATTERY icon: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon appears and an alarm sounds (two short beeps followed by a pause) to
indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound continuously (and the
BATT.CAPACITY meter shows one 20% capacity segment shaded) to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power. You should save
files and turm off your equipment immediately.
AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) icon: This icon appears whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC line voltage without
using battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
SILENT MODE icon:This icon appears whenever the UPS is in silent mode. The buzzer does not beep during silent mode until the battery
reaches low capacity.
OVER LOAD icon: This icon appears and an alarm sounds to indicate the battery-supplied outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload,
unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supplied outlets until the icon turns off and the alarm stops.
FAULT icon: This icon appears if there is a problem with the UPS. Contact CyberPower Systems at tech@cyberpowersystems.com for
further help and support.
BATT. CAPACITY meter: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's internal battery. During a
blackout or severe brownout, the UPS switches to battery power, the BATTERY icon appears, and the charge level decreases.
LOAD CAPACITY meter: This meter displays the approximate output load level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's battery outlets.
