Hardware Installation Guide
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for
at least 8 hours is recommended to ensure 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 and off
position.
2. If you will use the software, connect the USB cable to the USB port on the UPS.
3. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally
powered data storage device (Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc. into the battery power
supplied outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum, paper
shredder or other large electrical device into the battery power supplied outlets.
The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
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, refrigerator, copier, etc. Avoid using
extension cords. If used, the extension cord must be grounded and rated for 15 amps.
5. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate
and the unit will "beep".
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. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC
outlet, the battery will automatically recharge.
8. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
9. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully
charged. Recharge the battery every three months to ensure battery life.
CYBERPOWER GREENPOWER UPS TECHNOLOGY
Our new UPS circuit is designed to save energy operating in GreenPower
Bypass Mode.
A traditional UPS circuit with AVR provides normal output voltage through the
Relay and AVR transformer. The current travels first through the transformer
conducting energy and generating heat. This heat creates energy dissipation
resulting in a "Power Loss" or consumption of utility power and money.
CyberPower's GreenPower Circuit Design is a solution to this "Power Loss.
" When the Utility Power is operating normally, our Green Power UPS works in
Bypass Mode. Our GreenPower design conducts power only through the Relay and still provides
normal output voltage. Bypassing the transformer reduces power consumption thereby conserving
energy and saving money. When the utility power is abnormal the UPS will operate under Battery or
AVR Mode. Under this condition Green Power UPS and a traditional UPS would operate about the
same.
On average utility power operates 88% of the time and the CyberPower GreenPower Technology will
work in its money/energy saving Bypass Mode.
