OVERVIEW

The LX1500GAVR provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The LX1500GAVR features 890 Joules of surge protection. The unit provides long lasting battery backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The LX1500GAVR ensures consistent power to your computer system and includes software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility power loss.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The LX1500GAVR uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to stabilize inconsistent utility power voltage to levels that are safe for connected equipment. AVR safeguards hardware and important data files by automatically increasing low utility power to a consistent and safe output voltage while preserving battery power for outages.

DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS's rated capacity 1500VA/900W for LX1500GAVR. If the rated capacity of the unit is exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS 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 placed on the battery outlets not exceed 80% of the unit's capacity.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Replacement of batteries located in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA.

1. When replacing batteries, replace with the same number of the following battery: CyberPower / RB1270X2C for the LX1500GVAR.
2. 
   Risk of Energy Hazard, 24 V, maximum 9 Ampere-hour battery. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy conducted through these materials could cause severe burns.
3. 
   Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
4. 
   Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
5. 
   A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
   1. Remove watches rings, or other metal objects.
   2. Use tools with insulated handles.

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:

1. Switch off and unplug all the connected equipment.
   
2. Switch off the UPS and disconnect it from the wall outlet.
   
3. Place the product on its side, on a solid and stable surface.
   
4. Loosen the battery compartment cover screws.
   
5. Press on the locking latch and slide the battery compartment cover.
   
6. Disconnect the battery wires from the right side of the battery and then take it out of the battery compartment.
   
7. Disconnect the battery wires from the remaining battery.
   
8. Slide the remaining battery from left to right and remove it from the compartment.
   
9. Install the "left side" replacement battery by connecting the yellow wire (+) to the red connector from the battery and the black wire (-) to the black connector from the battery. Place the battery into the left side of the compartment.
10. Install the "right side" replacement battery by connecting the red wire (+) to the red connector from the battery and yellow wire (-) to the black connector from the battery. Place the battery into the right side of the compartment. Note: Only new batteries should be used for replacement and both batteries should be replaced at the same time to ensure maximum life span.
11. Close the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screws.
12. Recharge the UPS for 8-16 hours to fully charge the battery.

REMINDER: Batteries are considered HAZARDOUS WASTE and must be disposed of properly. Most retailers that sell lead-acid batteries collect used batteries for recycling, as required by local regulations.

DEFINITIONS FOR ILLUMINATED LCD INDICATORS

1. INPUT voltage meter: This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed, through the use of automatic voltage regulation, to continuously correct output voltage to connected equipment to a safe 110/120 voltage output range. In the event of a complete power loss, severe sag, or over-voltage, the UPS relies on its internal battery to supply consistent 110/120 output voltage. The INPUT voltage meter can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power.
2. OUTPUT voltage meter: This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is providing to the computer, such as normal line mode, AVR mode, and battery backup mode. (Note: The OUTPUT voltage meter shows the status of the battery backup outlets.)
3. ESTIMATED RUNTIME: This displays the run time estimate of the UPS with current battery capacity and load.
4. NORMAL icon: This icon appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.
5. BATTERY icon: During a severe sag or power outage, this icon appears and an alarm sounds (two short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. During a prolonged sag or power outage, the alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power. You should save fles and turn of your equipment immediately or allow the software to shut the system down.
6. AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) icon: This icon appears whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC line voltage without using battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
7. SILENT MODE icon: This icon appears whenever the UPS is in silent mode. The buzzer does not beep during silent mode until the battery reaches low capacity.
8. OVER LOAD icon: This icon appears and an alarm sounds to indicate the batterysupplied outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supplied outlets until the icon turns of and the alarm stops.
9. FAULT: This icon appears if there is a problem with the UPS. Press the POWER button to turn the UPS of.
   E02: Charger Fault-No Charge (Contact CyberPower Systems for support.)
   E11: Battery Overvoltage (Contact CyberPower Systems for support.)
   E21: Output Short (Check the status of equipment connected to the UPS and then turn on the UPS again.)
   E22: Overload (Unplug at least one piece of equipment from battery outlets and turn the UPS on again.)
10. BATT. CAPACITY meter: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's internal battery. During a power outage or extended sag, the UPS switches to battery power, the BATTERY icon appears, and the charge level decreases.
11. LOAD CAPACITY meter: This meter displays the approximate output load level (in 20% increments) of the UPS battery outlets.

CYBERPOWER GREENPOWER UPS TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Energy-Saving Patented Bypass Technology
CyberPower's patented GreenPower UPS with Bypass Technology reduces UPS energy costs by up to 75% compared to conventional UPS models. Even when utility power is normal, conventional UPS models constantly pass power through a transformer. By contrast, under normal conditions the advanced circuitry of a GreenPower UPS bypasses the transformer. As a result, the power efficiency is significantly increased while decreasing waste heat, using less energy, and reducing energy costs. When an abnormal power condition occurs, the GreenPower UPS automatically runs power through its transformer to regulate voltage and provide "safe" power. Since utility power is normal over 88% of the time, the GreenPower UPS operates primarily in its efficient bypass mode.
The GreenPower UPS is also manufactured in accordance with the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive making it one of the most environmentally-friendly on the market today.
