WHAT IS AVR?

The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G provide complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G feature 890 Joules / 1030 Joules of surge protection, and provide long lasting battery backup during power outages. The CP685AVR-G / CP825AVR-G 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-G / CP825AVR-G stabilize utility power voltage levels that can be inconsistent. The incoming utility power may be damaging to important data files and hardware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation, the computer will 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.

If this is illuminated, it is recommended to disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician verify the outlet is properly wired. The unit will not provide surge protection without being plugged into a grounded and properly wired wall outlet.

⑥Communication Protection Ports

Communication protection ports will protect any standard modem, fax, telephone line, network or Ethernet connection (RJ11/RJ45).

⑦Circuit Breaker

Located on the side of the UPS, the circuit breaker serves to provide overload and fault protection.

⑧USB Port and DB-9 Contact Closure Port to PC

The ports allow connection and communication between the USB or DB-9 port on the computer and the UPS unit. The UPS communicates its status to the PowerPanel® Personal Edition software. The DB9 interface is compatible with Power Management provided by Windows® NT/2000/2003/XP and the USB interface is compatible with the Power Management provided by Windows Vista, OS X, and Linux..

Note: Only one of the ports, USB or DB-9, can be used to communicate with your computer at one time.

Note: To install PowerPanel® Personal Edition Software the computer will need Microsoft○R Internet Explore 6.0 or higher installed.

Note: If using the DB-9 port, users need to order the standard RS-232 cable. If you have any questions, email CyberPower

technical support for help. tech@cyberpowersystems.com

⑨Outlets Designed for AC Adapters

The unit has four outlets spaced to allow AC power adapter blocks to be plugged into the UPS without blocking adjacent outlets.

⑩Coax/Cable/DSS Surge Protection

The Coax/Cable/DSS surge protection ports will protect any cable modem, CATV converter, or DSS receiver.

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 (685VA/390W for CP685AVR-G, 825VA/450W for CP825AVR-G). 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 you will be placing on the outlet 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 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 off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other
	peripherals requiring battery backup into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug
	your other peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper
	shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump or other large electrical device into battery and surge protected outlets. The
	power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
3.	To protect a network connection from surges, connect a network cable into 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. air
	conditioner, 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”.
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.	Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
