WH AT IS AVR ?

The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G provide complete power protection from

utility power that is not always consistent. The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G

feature 890 Joules / 1030 Joules of surge protection, and provide long lasting

battery backup during power outages. The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G

ensure consistent power to your computer system and include software that

will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system

during a utility power loss.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G stabilize utility power voltage levels that

can be inconsistent. The incoming utility power may be damaging to

important data files and hardware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation, the

computer will not experience damaging voltage levels. An Automatic Voltage

Regulator automatically increases low or decreases high voltage to a

consistent, computer safe 110v/120v. The unit’s powerful battery will provide

power only if the incoming voltage drops below 90v or increases above 140v.

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 (685VA/390W for CP685AVR-G,

825VA/450W for CP825AVR-G). 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 you will be

placing on the outlet 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 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 off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other

peripherals requiring battery backup into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug

your other peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper

shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump or other large electrical device into battery and surge protected outlets. The

power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.

3. To protect a network connection from surges, connect a network cable into the IN jack of the UPS. Then connect

a network cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the network device.

4. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding 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, refrigerator, 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”.

6. 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.

7. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.

8. To store your 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.

CONDITION

CYBERPOWER GREENPOWER UPS TECHNOLOGY

Our new UPS circuit is designed to save energy operating in GreenPower Bypass Mode.
A traditional UPS circuit with AVR provides normal output voltage through the Relay and AVR transformer.
The current travels first through the transformer conducting energy and generating heat. This heat creates
energy dissipation resulting in a "Power Loss" or consumption of utility power and higher utility bills.

CyberPower's GreenPower Circuit Design is a solution to this "Power Loss." When the Utility Power is
operating normally, our Green Power UPS works in Bypass Mode. Our GreenPower design conducts
power only through the Relay and still provides normal output voltage. Bypassing the transformer reduces
power consumption thereby conserving energy and saving money. When the utility power is abnormal the
UPS will operate under Battery or AVR Mode. Under these conditions, Green Power UPS and a traditional
UPS would operate in approximately the same manner.

On average the CyberPower GreenPower Technology will work in its money/energy saving Bypass Mode 88% of the time.
