CyberPower Systems CPS575SL, CPS500SL Description, Inspection, To Estimate Power Requirements

CPS320SL / CPS375SL / CPS500SL / CPS575SL / CPS650SL

Guaranteed Uninterruptible Power System

DESCRIPTION

XBattery/Surge Outlets

Provides three battery powered/surge outlets for connected equipment and insures temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure.

YFull-Time Surge Protection Outlets

Provides three always on surge suppression outlets.

ZPower Switch

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

[Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator

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

\Power On Indicator

This LED is illuminated when the utility condition is normal and the UPS outlets are providing power, free of surges and spikes.

]Circuit Breaker

Located on the side of the UPS, the circuit breaker serves to provide overload and fault protection. Under normal operating conditions, the circuit breaker is depressed.

^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™ software. This interface is also compatible with the UPS service provided by Windows NT and Windows 2000.

_Communication Protection Ports

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

`Outlets Designed for AC Adapters

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

INSPECTION

The box should contain the following:

(1) PowerPanel™ 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 peripherals does not exceed 1440 VA.

2.Insure that the equipment plugged into the three battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (320VA/185W for CPS320SL, 375VA/210W for CPS375SL, 500VA/275W for CPS500SL, 575VA/320W for CPS575SL and 650VA/350W for CPS650SL). If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down and 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 effect 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.
