SUPPORTS Active PFC POWER SUPPLIES
This CyberPower UPS system supports High
Efficiency power supplies with Active Power
Factor Correction (Active PFC). Active PFC is
used to improve the efficiency of power delivery.
The current US Energy Star® Program Require-
ments for Computers (version 7.1) mandates
Active PFC for all power supplies over 100
watts. Additionally, programs such as 80 Plus®
are often used to identify high efficiency power
supplies with Active PFC.
OVERVIEW
The CP1350PFCLCD/CP1500PFCLCD provides
complete power protection from utility power
that is not always consistent and features 1445
Joules of surge protection. All units provide long
lasting battery backup during power outages with
maintenance free batteries. The CP1350PFCLCD/
CP1500PFCLCD 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 CP1350PFCLCD/CP1500PFCLCD 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
to a consistent and safe
110/120 volts. If incoming
utility voltage drops
below 90 volts, or exceeds
140 volts the units auto-
matically switch to battery
back-up power.
DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS
OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into
the UPS 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 electronic
equipment will require. For optimal system
performance keep the load below 80% of
the unit's rated 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
turned 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.
Plug the other peripheral equipment (eg.
printer, scanner, speakers, etc.) into the
full time surge protection outlets. DO NOT
plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier,
space heater, vacuum cleaner, sump pump
or other large electrical device into the
"Battery and Surge Protected Outlets".
The power demands of these devices will
overload and possibly damage the unit.
