Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this allow remote monitoring/email alerts?

A: Hello David, Yes this unit will support remote monitoring/email alerts with the addition of the optional RMCARD205.

Q: 2. how long does it last?

A: Generally speaking Milton, batteries in UPS can last between 3 -5 years before signs of degradation. However, factors such as an UPS operating in consistent heat or frequent charging/discharging will shorten the live span of the UPS. I've had my CP1500PFCLCD for 13 months and it is operating excellent with no issues.

Q: 3. What are the benefits of having a UPS with pure sine wave as opposed to a UPS with a stepped approximation to sine wave?

A: For most devices simulated sine wave is adequate. However, if you are backing up a device with an Active PFC (power factor correction) supply they require pure sine wave to operate correctly. Active PFC supplies are considerably more efficient than standard power supplies but need a clean input.

Q: 4. Can I plug in a power conditioner to this (Furman SS-6B Power Strip) or would that be redundant, or cause a problem? I’m in residential with power issues that are causing odd hums in audio recordings, and the electrician says a UPC is the way to go, but the studio engineer says a power conditioner is necessary.

A: I'm an electrician and concur with the other answers, you need to look into grounding issues, specifically what's called a "ground loop". As for the UPS, it won't fix this issue, it fixes voltage and power factor issues as well as backup power of course, but it won't hurt anything either. They do make "ground loop isolators" that may do the trick, but sometimes won't help either.

Q: 5. 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: 6. 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: 7. Does it include with network card?

A: The CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFCR does not come with a network card it requires an optional RM card, the optional RMCARD will provide remote monitoring and management over a network.

Q: 8. What happens when grid power is off longer than the UPS battery will last and all connected devices lose power?

A: If the grid power is off longer than the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS BH #CYCP1500PFCQ can keep your devices on, it will shut down and the devices will lose power. When the power resumes, it will recharge the battery and you will be able to power it up again.

Q: 9. Are the batteries replaceable and, if so, what battery and how difficult is it to replace them?

A: Yes they are replaceable. One small screw on the bottom and the cover slides, then lifts off. Slide the battery part way out and disconnect the (2) wires. Reverse to install new battery. We use (2) Duracell Ultra (# DURA12-9f2) batteries. Which are 12V 9AH AGM batteries.

Q: 10. When AC grid power is restored, will the UPS turn on automatically, power up all connected devices and charge battery?

A: Yes, the CyberPower CP1500PFC will turn back on when power is restored. This is a setting you can change if you would prefer it to stay off until manually switched back on again.
