INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM
DETERMINE THE POWER
REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into
the outlet does not exceed the UPS's rated
capacity (1500VA/900W for PS1500AVRL-
CD). 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 pe-
ripherals 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 devic-
es into the "Battery and Surge Protected
Outlets". The power demands of these de-
vices may overload and damage the unit.
3. Plug the UPS into a 2-pole, 3-wire ground-
ed receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the
wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker and does not service equip-
ment 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 cir-
cuit 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 prop-
er accessibility.
BASIC OPERATION
1. Power Switch: Used as the master on/off
switch for equipment connected to the
battery power supplied outlets.
2. Power On Indicator: This LED is illuminated
when the utility power is normal and the
UPS outlets are providing power, free of
surges and spikes.
3. LCD module display: High resolution and
intelligent LCD display shows all the UPS
information using icons and messages.
For more information please review the
"Definitions for Illuminated LCD Indicators"
section below.
4. Display/Select button: The button can be
used to select the LCD display contents
including Input Voltage, Output Voltage,
and Estimated Run Time. Short press the
button to scroll down the function menu.
Pressing the button for 3 seconds will keep
the LCD display always on or turn the LCD
display off while in AC/Utility power mode.
For more information about the Down/
Display Button, please refer to the Function
Setup Guide.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
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).
9
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not remove the cover except to service the
battery. Turn off and unplug the unit before
servicing the batteries. There are no user-ser-
viceable parts inside except for the battery.
10
CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be
11
energized by the battery even when the AC
input power is disconnected.
CAUTION! The UPS must be connected to an
AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker
8 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 electric shock, turn off
7
the unit and unplug it from the AC power
source before servicing the battery or
installing a computer component.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
Replacement of batteries located
in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA
PLUG IN
1. When replacing batteries, replace with
the same number of the following bat-
tery: CyberPower / RB1270X2C for the
PS1500AVRLCD.
2. CAUTION! Risk of Energy Hazard, 24 V,
maximum 9 Ampere-hour battery. Before
replacing batteries, remove conductive
jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and
rings. High energy conducted through
these materials could cause severe burns.
3. CAUTION! Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire. The batteries may explode.
4. CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate batter-
ies. Released material is harmful to the skin
and eyes. It may be toxic.
5. CAUTION! A battery can present a risk of
electrical shock and high short circuit cur-
rent. The following precautions should be
observed when working on batteries:
1) Remove watches rings, or other metal
objects.
2) Use tools with insulated handles.
CAUTION - RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY
IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING
TO LOCAL REGULATIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
CAUTION! Not for use in a computer
room as defined in the Standard for the
Protection of Electronic Computer/Data
Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL
OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! DO NOT
use in any circumstance that would affect the
operation and safety of life support equip-
ment, medical applications, or patient care.
CAUTION! 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.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE THE UPS ON ANY
TRANSPORTATION! To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock, do not use the unit
on any transportation such as airplanes
or ships. The effect of shock or vibration
caused during transit and the damp
environment can cause the unit to short out.
long lasting battery backup during power
outages with maintenance free batteries. The
PS1500AVRLCD 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 PS1500AVRLCD uses Automatic Voltage
Regulation (AVR) to stabilize inconsistent
utility power voltage to levels that are safe for
connected equipment. AVR safeguards hard-
ware and important data files by automatically
increasing low utility power to a consistent and
safe output voltage while preserving battery
power for outages.

9. USB Ports to PC: The USB port allows
connection and communication between
the USB port on the computer and the
UPS unit.
10. Wiring Fault Indicator (red): This LED indi-
cator 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 equip-
ment from the outlet and have an elec-
trician verify the outlet is properly wired.
The unit will not provide surge protection
without being plugged into a grounded and
properly wired wall outlet.
11. Widely Spaced Outlets Designed for AC
Adapters: The unit has 2 outlets spaced
to allow AC power adapter blocks to be
plugged into the UPS without blocking
adjacent outlets.
