IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
(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 conducti ve
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. Turn off and unplug the unit 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! Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment,
ANSI/NFPA 75. (Employing batteries with enclosure flame rating HB only).
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.
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.

OVERVIEW
The PR1000LCD/PR1500LCD UPS provides complete power protection from utility power that isn't always consistent. The
PR1000LCD/PR1500LCD features surge protection against power surges and maintenance free batteries for long lasting battery backup during
power outages. In addition to ensuring consistent power to your computer system and the
PR1000LCD/PR1500LCD also includes software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown
your computer system during a utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The PR1000LCD/PR1500LCD stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to nominal levels that are safe for
equipment. Inconsistent 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.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (1000VA/700W for PR1000LCD,
1500VA/1050W for PR1500LCD). 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.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, 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. W ith 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 unit.
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. Insure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
9. The LCD module is wall-mountable for extended distance control. Follow the steps below for installation procedure.
a. Remove the LCD module from the front panel.
b. Hang the LCD module on the wall.
c. Replacing the LCD on the UPS - To place the LCD back on the UPS, roll up the LCD cable, return it to the space between the front panel &
battery cover, and replace the LCD.

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.
