(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

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

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 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 short out.

CAUTION!  

To reduce the risk of fire, only connect the UPS to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch 

circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Code, ANSI / NFPA 70.

UNPACKING

Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following:
(1) UPS unit; (1) User’s manual; (1) PowerPanel™ Personal Edition software CD; (1) USB device cable; (1) Telephone 
cable; (1) Warranty registration card; (1) Coaxial Cable 

WHAT IS AVR?

The CP685AVR / BF685 CP800AVR / BF800 provide complete power protection from 
utility power that is not always consistent.  The CP685AVR / BF685 CP800AVR / 
BF800 features 890 Joules of surge protection, and provide long lasting battery 
backup with sealed maintenance free lead acid battery for loss of utility power and 
voltage sags.  The CP685AVR / BF685 CP800AVR / BF800 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 / BF685 CP800AVR / BF800 stabilize utility power voltage levels that can be inconsistent.  The incoming 
utility power may be damaging to important data files, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation, the computer will only 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.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt.  However, 

recharging the 

batteries for at least 16 hours

 is recommended to insure that the battery’s maximum charge capacity is achieved.  A 

loss of charge may occur during shipping and storage.  To recharge the batteries, simply leave the unit plugged into an 
AC outlet and turn on the power switch.

2. 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, paper shredder, 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.

3. To surge protect a network connection, connect a network cable from the wall jack outlet to 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. 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” once.
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.  Wait 10 seconds.  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 insure battery life.
