CPS1250AVR

Guaranteed Uninterruptible Power System

DESCRIPTION

1. 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

2. Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator

This LED indicator will illuminate to warn the user that a wiring problem exits with the AC outlet, such as bad ground, miss ground or reversed wiring. If this is illuminated, the user is advised to disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician check the outlet to insure proper wiring.

3. AVR Indicator

This LED indicates that the UPS is operating in automatic voltage regulation mode.

4. Using Battery

This illuminates during utility failure, indicating that the battery is supplying power to the battery-power supplied outlets.

5. 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.

6. Power Switch

Can be used as a master on/off switch for equipment connected to the battery power supplied outlets.

7. All outlets Designed for AC Adapters

Allows six AC power adapter blocks to be plugged into the UPS without making adjacent outlets inaccessible.

8. Communication Protection Ports

Communication protection ports will protect any standard modem, fax machine or telephone.

9. Serial Port to PC

This port allows connection and communication from the DB-9 serial 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 and Windows 2000.

10. Full-time Surge Protection Outlets

All outlets on the unit provide surge suppression for connected equipment.

11. Re-settable Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker provides circuit overload and fault protection.

12. Battery Power Supplied Outlets

Provides three battery-supplied outlets for connected equipment and insures temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure.

The box should contain the following:

(1)PowerPanel Plus™ software (floppy disk); (1) serial interface cable (DB-9); (1) telephone communication cable; (1) user manual; (1) warranty registration card; (1) UPS unit.

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 (1250VA/670W for CPS1250AVR). 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 =

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.
