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.
DESCRIPTION
1.Battery/Surge Outlets
Provides three battery powered/surge outlets for connected equipment and insures temporary uninterrupted
operation of your equipment during a power failure.
2.Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
Provides three always on surge suppression outlets.
3.Power Switch
Can be used as a mater on/off switch for equipment
connected to the battery power supplied outlets.
4.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.
5.Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator
INSPECTION
The box should contain the following:
(1) PowerPanel™ software (floppy disk); (1) serial interface cable (DB-9);
(1) telephone communication cable; (1) user manual; (1) warranty registration card;
(1) USB adapter ; (1) UPS unit.
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 grounded. If you need to deenergize this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and
unplug it from the AC p ower source before servicing the
battery or installing a computer component.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT! CyberPower Systems does not sell prod-
ucts 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 a pplications 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.
This LED indicator wi ll illuminate to warn the user th at 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.
6.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.
7.Serial Port to PC
This port allows con nection and communication f rom 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.
8.Coaxial Cable Surge Protection
Connect the coaxial cable from your cable / antenna dish
source to one of the surge protector’s video connectors
market “IN”. With another section of coaxial cable, connect the surge protector’s corresponding video connector
marked
9.Communication Protection Ports
Communication protection ports will protect any standard
modem, fax or telephone line.
10.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 725 VA.
2. Insure that the equipment plugged into the three battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s
rated capacity(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 th e equipment can use, not wh at is typically used by the equi pment at any one time. Users
should expect usage requirements to be approximately 60% of below value to estimate power requirements:
Watts (W) x 1.82 = VA or Amps (A) x 120 = VA
Add the totals up for all pieces of equipment and multiply this total by .6 to calculate actual requirements.
There are many facto rs tha t ca n ef fec t the am ou nt o f powe r tha t your compu t er system will requi re . 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 o ff and unplugged, connect your co mputer,
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 mo dem , conne ct a tel eph o ne cabl e fr om the wall ja c k
outlet to the in jack of t he UPS. Connect a telephone cabl e 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 i s detected , an audible a larm will soun d and the uni t will emit on e long beep. To correct thi s, 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. You r UPS is equipp ed with an aut o-charge feature. When the UPS i s 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 al l 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.
POWERPANEL™ SOFTW ARE
OVERVIEW
PowerPanel™ version 2.1.4 or greater is designed for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The latest version can be downloaded from www.cyberpowereu.com/download.html. It works in conjunction with the UPS to provide full protection of valuable computer systems,
applications and data. In the event of a power failure, PowerPanel™ automatically saves and closes open files under
auto-assigned file names or existing files names after a software controlled delay. The computer and UPS are auto-

matically shutdown to conserve battery power. Files with auto-assigned names will be saved under C:\PCTemp,
where C is the name of your main har d dr iv e.
Files that have previously been sa ved will be saved in their original location.
