IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS (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 except to

service the battery. Turn off and unplug the

unit before servicing the batteries. There

are no user serviceable parts inside except

for the battery.

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 servicing the battery or

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.

CAUTION! DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL

OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! DO NOT

use in any circumstance that would affect

the operation and safety of life support

equipment, medical applications, or patient

care.

CAUTION! 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.

CAUTION! 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.

3 . 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, copier, etc.…). The warranty

prohibits the use of extension cords,

outlet strips, and surge strips.

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 . CAUTION! 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 . CAUTION! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

4 . CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin

and eyes. It may be toxic.

5 . CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION - RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS.

6 . Full-Time Surge Protected Outlets: The

unit has 5 surge suppression outlets

without battery backup.

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.

1 1 . Close the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screws.

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.

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.
