CPS1000AVR
Guaranteed Uninterruptible Power System
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 1440VA.
2.
Insure that the equipment plugged into the three battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s
rated capacity (1000VA/500W for CPS1000AVR). If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload
condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or 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 the equipment can use, not what is typically used by the equipment 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 factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. The total load that you will
be placing on the battery-powered outlets should not exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity.
INSPECTION
The box should contain the following:
(1) PowerPanel Plus™ software (floppy disk); (1) serial interface cable (DB-9); (1) serial to USB adapter cable; (1) telephone
communication cable; (1) user manual; (1) warranty registration card; (1) UPS unit.
DESCRIPTION
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
7.
Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator
This LED indicator will illuminate to warn the user
that a wiring problem exists
with the AC outlet
.
If this LED is illuminated, user is advised to
unplug all electrical equipment from the outlet and
have an electrician check the outlet to insure
proper wiring.
8. AVR Indicator
This LED indicates that the UPS is operating in
automatic voltage regulation mode.
9. Using Battery Indicator
This illuminates during a utility failure, indicating
that the battery is supplying power to the battery
power supplied outlets.
10. Check Battery
This illuminates indicating a weak battery. If the
indicator is still illuminated after allowing the unit
to charge for 12 hours, replace the battery
according to the instructions in the
Replacing the
Battery
section of this manual.
11. Serial Port to PC
This port allows connection and
communication from the DB-9 serial or USB port
on the computer to the UPS unit. The UPS
communicates its status to the PowerPanel
Plus™ software. This interface is also
compatible with the UPS service provided by
Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
12. Communication Protection Ports
Communication protection ports will protect any
standard modem, fax, or telephone line.
1.
Battery Backup and Surge Protection Outlets
Provides three battery-supplied outlets with
Automatic Voltage Regulation for consistent output
power to connected equipment.
2.
“Always-On” Surge Protection Outlets
Provides three surge-protected outlets to protect
connected equipment against surges and spikes.
3. All outlets Designed for AC Adapters
Allows six AC power adapter blocks to be plugged
into the UPS without making adjacent outlets
inaccessible.
4. Resettable Circuit Breaker
Located on the side of the UPS, the circuit breaker
provides circuit overload and fault protection.
Under normal operating conditions, the circuit
breaker is depressed.
5. Power Switch
Can be used as the master on/off switch for
computer equipment connected to the battery power
supplied outlets.
6. Power On Indicator
This LED is illuminated when the utility condition is
normal and the UPS outlets are providing
“clean”
power, free of surges and spikes.
