SUPPORTS Active PFC POWER SUPPLIES
This CyberPower UPS system supports High Efciency 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 Requirements 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 shut down 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 automatically switch to battery backup power.

DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
- 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.
- There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your electronic equipment will require. For optimal system performance,e keep the load below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
- 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,r or it will not power up. - With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other peripherals requiring battery backup to 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.
- 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 great electrical demands (e.g., air conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc.). The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips in conjunction with the UPS unit.

- 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 off the UPS 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.
- To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
- To store the UPS for an extended period of time, cover it and store it with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every three months to ensure optimal battery life.
- Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
CYBERPOWER GREENPOWER UPS™ TECHNOLOGY
Advanced Energy-Saving Patented Bypass Technology
CyberPower’s patented GreenPower UPS™ with Bypass Technology reduces UPS energy costs by up to 75% compared to conventional UPS models. Even when utility power is normal, conventional UPS models constantly pass power through a transformer. By contrast, under normal conditions, the advanced circuitry of a GreenPower UPS™ bypasses the transformer. As a result, the power efficiency is significantly increased while decreasing waste heat, using less energy, and reducing energy costs.

When an abnormal power condition occurs, the GreenPower UPS™ automatically runs power through its transformer to regulate voltage and provide “safe” power. Since utility power is normal over 88% of the time, the GreenPower UPS™ operates primarily in its efficient bypass mode. The GreenPower UPS™ is also manufactured in accordance with the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, making it one of the most environmentally-friendly on the market today.
