(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the unit.
Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate your UPS.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and humidity range).
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be energized by the battery even when the AC input power is disconnected.
CAUTION! The UPS must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Do not plug into an outlet that is not
grounded. If you need to de-energize this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.
CAUTION! To avoid electric shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before installing a computer component.
CAUTION! Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment,
ANSI/NFPA 75.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit over current protection in
accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! CyberPower Systems does not sell products for life support or medical
applications. DO NOT use in any circumstance that would affect operation and safety of life support equipment, any medical applications or
patient care.
DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use with or near an aquarium. Condensation
from the aquarium can cause the unit to short out.
DO NOT USE THE UPS ON ANY TRANSPORTATION! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use the unit on any transportation
such as airplanes or ships. The effect of shock or vibration caused during transit and the damp environment can cause the unit to short out.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting a CyberPower Systems Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). This UPS meets the Energy Efficiency Certification of the
California Energy Commission (CEC). CyberPower Systems is dedicated to producing energy efficient products to maximize our contribution to
the environment.
UNPACKING
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following:
(a) UPS unit (b) User’s manual (c) USB device cable (except for SE425G)
*PowerPanel® Personal Edition software is available on our website. Please visit www.cpsww.com and go to the Software Section for
free download.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the UPS does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity. 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 electronic equipment will require. For optimal system performance
keep the load below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to
ensure the battery’s maximum charge capacity, it is recommended that you charge the battery
for at least 8 hours. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is
plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge whether the UPS is turned on or
turned off.
2. With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other peripherals requiring battery backup into the
battery power supplied outlets. Plug the other peripheral equipment (eg. printer, scanner, speakers, etc.) into the full-time surge protection
outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, sump pump, or other large electrical
device into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets”. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the
unit.
3. To protect a fax, phone, or modem line, connect a telephone cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the
UPS. Connect a telephone cable from one of the UPS OUT jacks to the modem port on the computer. The other
UPS OUT jack can be used to protect a telephone or fax machine.
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.). The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips,
and surge strips in conjunction with the UPS unit.
5. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate green and the unit will “beep” twice.
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.
7. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
8. To store the UPS for an extended period of time, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every
three months to ensure optimal battery life.
9. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
DESCRIPTION

 Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
The unit has four battery powered and surge protected outlets to ensure temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a
power failure. (DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, sump pump, or other large
electrical device into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets.” The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly
damage the unit.)
