SUPPORTS PFC POWER SUPPLIES
This CyberPower UPS system supports High Efficiency power supplies with Power Factor Correction (PFC).
PFC is used to improve the efficiency of power delivery. The current US Energy Star
®
Program Requirements
for Computers (version 5.0) mandates PFC for all power supplies over 100 watts. Additionally, programs such
as 80 Plus
®
are often used to identify high efficiency power supplies with PFC.
WHAT IS AVR
The
OR1500PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2Ua provides
complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent.
The OR1500PFCRT2U features 1840 Joules of surge protection and the
OR2200PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2Ua features 2060 Joules of surge
protection. Both units provide long lasting battery backup during power
outages with maintenance free batteries. The OR1500PFCRT2U /
OR2200PFCRT2U / OR2200PFCRT2Ua ensures consistent power to your
computer system and includes software that will automatically save your
open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The
OR1500PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2U/OR2200PFCRT2Ua
stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to
nominal levels that are safe for equipment. Inconsistent incoming 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. If incoming utility voltage drops below 90 volts, or exceeds 140 volts the units
automatically switch to battery back-up power.
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
(1500VA/900W for OR1500PFCRT2U, 2000VA/1320W for OR2200PFCRT2U, and 2200VA/1320W for
OR2200PFCRT2Ua). 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 placed on the battery outlets 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 highly 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 turned off and unplugged, connect your computer,
monitor, and any other peripherals requiring battery backup into the
battery power supplied outlets. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet
shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum,
sump pump or other large electrical devices into the UPS. The power demands
of these devices may overload and damage the unit.
3. 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.
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.
