OVERVIEW
The CP1500AVRL provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent.
The CP1500AVRL features 1500 Joules of surge protection. The unit provides long lasting battery
backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The CP1500AVRL 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 CP1500AVRL 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 or decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts.
HOW TO 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 CP1500AVRL). 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.
