IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate.

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. No user serviceable parts inside except for battery.

CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be

energized by the battery even when the AC input power is disconnected.

CAUTION! UPS must be connected to an AC

power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Do not plug into an outlet that is not

DESCRIPTION

 Battery/Surge Outlets

Provides three battery powered/surge outlets for connected equipment and insures temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure.

 Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets

Provides three always on surge suppression outlets.

 Power Switch

Can be used as a mater on/off switch for equipment connected to the battery power supplied outlets.

 Power On Indicator

This LED is illuminated when the utility condition is normal and the UPS outlets are providing power, free of surges and spikes.

grounded. If you need to de-energize this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit. CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery or installing a computer component.

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 operation or safety of any life support equipment or with any 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 shor

out.

 Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator

This LED indicator will illuminate to warn the user that a wiring problem exists, such as bad ground, miss ground or reversed wiring. If this is illuminated, user is advised to disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician check to ensure the outlet is properly wired.

 Circuit Breaker

Located on the side of the UPS, the circuit breaker serves to provide overload and fault protection. Under normal operating conditions, the circuit breaker is depressed.

 Serial Port to PC

This port allows connection and communication from the DB-9 serial port on the computer to the UPS unit. The UPS communicates its status to the PowerPanel™ software. This interface is also compatible with the UPS service provided by Windows NT and Windows 2000.

 Communication Protection Ports

Communication protection ports will protect any standard modem, fax or telephone line.

 Outlets Designed for AC Adapters

Allows six AC power adapter blocks to be plugged into the UPS without blocking adjacent outlets.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Make sure that the total Volt-Amp (VA) requirements of your computer, monitor and peripheral equipment does not exceed 1440 VA.

2. Insure that the equipment plugged into the three battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity( 525VA/300W for CPS525SL, 725VA/400W for CPS725SL). If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down and the circuit breaker to trip.

3. If the power requirements of your equipment are listed in units other than Volt-Amps (VA), convert Watts (W) or Amps (A) into VA by doing the calculations below. Note: The below equation only calculates the maximum amount of VA that the equipment can use, not what is typically used by the equipment at any one time. Users should expect usage requirements to be approximately 60% of below value to estimate power requirements:

Add the totals up for all pieces of equipment and multiply this total by .6 to calculate actual requirements. There are many factors that can effect the amount of power that your computer system will require. The total load that you will be placing on the battery-powered outlets should 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 four hours is recommended to insure that the battery’s maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on as well as the off position.

2. If you wish to use the software, connect the enclosed serial interface cable to the serial port on the UPS and an open serial port on the computer. If you are not going to use the software, you do not need to connect the cable.

3. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc…) into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug your peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a

laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.

4. To protect a fax, phone or modem, connect a telephone cable from the wall jack outlet to the in jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone cable from the out jack with the CPU icon to the modem port on your

computer. The out jack with the telephone icon can be used to protect a telephone or fax machine.

5. 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. refrigerator, copier, etc…). Avoid using extension cords. If used, the extension cord must be rated for 15 amps.

6. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the unit will “beep” once.

7. 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. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.

8. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically recharge.

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

10. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to insure battery life.
