Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have read that some of the newer power efficient computers cannot run on a backup unit that is simulated sine wave like this one and must have pure sine wave backup units. Do you know if this will work with the newer power efficient computers? Thanks in advance for your help - Ted

A: I built my last computer about 9 months ago and I have not run into that problem. The way I understand it is you need a real sine-wave supply on sensitive electronics so I have one on my HD TV but all the rest of my computers (7 at last count) run on units like this. I have 5 of these units and they work great.

Q: 2. Can it be safely used on its side?

A: Generally it is not recommended to use the CyberPower AVR Series CP900AVR UPS this way.

Q: 3. Can this be used horizontally and the lcd screen rotated?

A: No it is not able to do so.

Q: 4. I noticed since plugging my iMac into this, it's shut off unexpectedly twice. Why is this all of a sudden happening and is it because of the battery? It never did it before.

A: Hello Maria, Depending on the the age of your unit it may be the battery. We suggest contacting our technical support team to troubleshoot the issue. You can contact us at 1.877.297.6937 (option 1).

Q: 5. Can this software be installed on macOS Catalina? I am getting errors that it can't be checked by Apple.

A: Hold the Control key down when installing the .dmg file. That will display an "open" icon.

Q: 6. Hi, is this unit noisy?

A: No, the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS, would not be noisy at all when in use.

Q: 7. Is the power light suppose to stay lit all of the time? My power light is off most of the time, but occasionally flickers on/off. Does this mean the battery is low?

A: Yes, the power light should be on if the UPS is on.

Q: 8. Can B&H supply a 220v version of this or something comparable? If so, kindly send a link. Thanks.

A: Unfortunately, we do not have a 220v UPS.

Q: 9. So if I have a 3D printer that pulls about 50 watts, how long will this thing keep it running if power goes out?

A: According to the manufacturers runtime calculator a 50w load would be about 100 minutes.

Q: 10. If my PC has a 1200 watt Power supply will this be strong enough at 900 watts? Is this a pass through design?

A: The 900 watt rating is how many watts it will deliver when on battery. It's rated at 1500 watts pass-through when on line power. Even though your computer has a 1200 watt power supply, it more than likely never pulls that much. Most modern computers only draw 100-200 watts when idle or doing light tasks like email/web browsing. If you have 2-3 high-end power hungry video cards, are doing rendering or video processing, with a pile of hard drives, you could start getting up to the 900 watt limit. Buy a kill-a-watt and measure for sure. Also note that at 100% utilization on battery (drawing 900 watts) the run time is very short; maybe a minute or two. My workstation has an 850 watt power supply, a single GeForce 960 video card, i7-6700k, 16gb ram, 4 hdds and an ssd. With the router, a switch, and 2 monitors, I draw 350 watts when playing games & working on video encoding. I get approx. 15 minutes runtime. Idle it uses 75-100 watts, and a 30 min run time.
