OVERVIEW
The CST150XLU provides complete power
protection from utility power that is not always
consistent. The CST150XLU features 1500
Joules of surge protection. The unit provides
long lasting battery backup during power
outages with maintenance free batteries. The
CST150XLU ensures consistent power to your
computer system and includes software that
will automatically save your open fles and
shutdown your computer system during a
utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The CST150XLU stabilizes inconsistent utility
power voltage to nominal
levels that are safe for
equipment. Inconsistent
incoming utility power
may be damaging to
important data fles
and hardware, but with
Automatic Voltage
Regulation (AVR),
damaging voltage levels are corrected to safe
levels. AVR automatically increases low utility
power or decreases high utility power to a
consistent and safe 110/120 volts.
DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS
OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into
the UPS does not exceed the UPS unit’s
rated capacity. 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 afect
the amount of power that your electronic
equipment will require. For optimal system
performance keep the load below 80% of
the unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately
upon receipt. However, after receiving a
new UPS, 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 of.
2. Note: This UPS is designed with a safety
feature to keep the system from being
turned on during shipment. The frst time
you turn the UPS on, you will need to have
it connected to AC power or it will not
power up.
3. With the UPS unit turned of 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 UPS.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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
