INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM

(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. Ensure
the input power is removed before servicing the batteries. There are no user serviceable parts inside except for
the battery.

CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be 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 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 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 (OR1500PFCRT2U and
OR2200PFCRT2U) or 30 (OR2200PFCRT2Ua) amperes maximum branch circuit over current protection in
accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

CAUTION! The UPS is suitable for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of
Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

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 the
operation and safety of life support equipment, 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.

SUPPORTS PFC POWER SUPPLIES

This CyberPower UPS system supports High Efficiency power supplies with Power Factor Correction (PFC).
PFC is used to improve the efficiency of power delivery. The current US Energy Star® Program Requirements
for Computers (version 5.0) mandates PFC for all power supplies over 100 watts. Additionally, programs such
as 80 Plus® are often used to identify high efficiency power supplies with PFC.

WHAT IS AVR

The OR1500PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2Ua provides
complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent.
The OR1500PFCRT2U features 1840 Joules of surge protection and the
OR2200PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2Ua features 2060 Joules of surge
protection. Both units provide long lasting battery backup during power
outages with maintenance free batteries. The OR1500PFCRT2U /
OR2200PFCRT2U / OR2200PFCRT2Ua 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 OR1500PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2Ua 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 and decreases high 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 back-up power.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity
(1500VA/900W for OR1500PFCRT2U, 2000VA/1320W for OR2200PFCRT2U, and 2200VA/1320W for
OR2200PFCRT2Ua). 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 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,

recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is highly 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 battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet.

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. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet
shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum,
sump pump or other large electrical devices into the UPS. The power demands
of these devices may overload and damage the unit.

3. To protect a fax, phone or modem, connect a telephone cable or network cable from

the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone cable or network
cable from the OUT jack of the UPS to a fax machine, telephone, modem, or network
devices.

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.

BASIC OPERATIO

N

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. To use PowerPanel® Business Edition software, connect the serial cable to the serial port or the USB port on

both the UPS and the computer. These OR units include one serial port and one USB port to allow
connection and communication between the UPS and computers. The primary computer (with PowerPanel®
Business Edition installed) is the computer that you will use to control the UPS and make changes to the
operation of the UPS. [Note: only one port (USB or Serial) can be used at a time. When one port is in use, the
other port will be disabled.] When there is a power failure, the computer connected to the port will start to shut
down after a user controlled delay. PowerPanel® Business Edition will save and close any open files prior to
shutting down the system.
