The CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 UPS Intelligent LCD Seriesfrom CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 UPS Intelligent LCD Seriesis a mini-tower device with line-interactive topology that provides battery backup and surge protection via simulated sine waveform output for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems. It provides an output capacity of 1500 VA / 900W and features an input voltage of 120 VAC at 57-63 Hz using Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to help correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power. This Smart App UPS has an integrated LCD panel that displays immediate, detailed information about its battery and power conditions to alert users to potential problems before they can affect critical equipment and cause downtime.

When running with a full load, this UPS can power devices for up to 3 minutes and when running with a half load, it can power devices for up to 12 minutes. It can be recharged in eight hours and offers 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets, six of which are equipped with battery and surge protection and six of which only offer surge protection. The UPS can absorb up to 1500 joules to keep your devices safe against surges and spikes. Other connections offered are a NEMA 5-15P input plug with a 6' cord, serial, USB-B, an RJ45 input and output with data line protection, 2.4A USB-A charging port, and a USB-C charging port with 15W of power delivery.

This power supply is ENERGY STAR qualified with GreenPower UPS Bypass technology for reducing energy consumption and heat buildup to help lower energy costs. Included with the power supply is the PowerPanel Personal Edition UPS management software, which requires minimal system resources and monitors the status of the UPS to ensure it is working properly. When a power outage does occur, this software automatically saves open files and powers down the system into hibernation mode. When your PC is running in hibernation mode, the power supply will offer a longer runtime. This CyberPower UPS provides a lifetime connected equipment guarantee of up to $500,000.

Supplies power long enough for equipment to properly shut down when utility power fails. Helps prevent loss of data and minimizes the component stress caused by a hard shutdown.

Diverts excess voltage away from sensitive electronic equipment during an AC power surge or power spike to prevent damage.

AVR increases the AC power and maintains a safe voltage level without switching to battery mode and conserving battery life.

Displays immediate, detailed information on the UPS battery and power conditions, alerting users to potential problems before they can affect critical equipment and cause downtime.

Prevents power surges that travel through coaxial and ethernet lines from causing damage to electronics.

Exists when a line interactive UPS has an autotransformer that regulates low voltages (brownouts) and over voltages (spikes) without having to switch to battery.

Provides a manufactured waveform output to supply cost-effective battery backup power for equipment that does not require sine wave output.

This model is an ENERGY STAR certified Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system. ENERGY STAR is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy-efficient products and practices that help save money and protect the environment.

A patented design that allows utility power to bypass the UPS transformer, when AC power is stable, which reduces energy consumption, noise, and heat buildup.

Minimizes noise during operation for a quieter work environment.

Provides a user-friendly dashboard interface for controlling and monitoring the UPS. Free software download available.

CyberPower will repair or replace a defective UPS system (including batteries) within three years of the purchase date.

CyberPower will repair or replace properly connected equipment if it is damaged by a power surge.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this support CPAP unit through the night?

A: UPS devices are not made to provide constant power in any way. They are made specifically for the purpose of shutting down a PC softly if and when there is a power outage. Most of these devices with smaller capacities can only support about 5 minutes of power to a PC with an average of 150W - 200W of usage, just enough time to systematically perform a soft shut down process on a PC to preserve data. I would not recommend using this device with any type of medical devices other than a Windows driven USB enabled computer.

Q: 2. Does this come with the necessary brackets to use it rack mounted?

A: yes.

Q: 3. Will this work with Mac OS X, like the CPS1500AVR?

A: I assume you are asking if the UPS software will shut down your MAC if the power fails? You will have to go on line to the units mfg. and read an owners manual. I bought my unit to retain power to my computers if the power failed. When I am doing a video render, I don't want my computer shut down until I am ready. My experience: It performed well during a 3 hour power outage. I would recommend this unit for its intended purpose. Walt Copeland, A/V Engineer

Q: 4. Can we mount on wall

A: It won't mount to a wall out-of-the-box. But I mounted it on the wall using a vertical 2U rack mount. Looks and works great.

Q: 5. Can this UPS be remotely managed?

A: Yes, this CyberPower Smart App LCD UPS can be remotely managed, using the included PowerPanel Business Edition Software.

Q: 6. Will this work with Mac OS X, like the CyberPower Rackmount CPS1500AVR?

A: Not at this time. The PowerPanel power management software has been fully tested and is compatible with Windows 8 32/64, Windows 7 32/64, Vista 32/64, XP 32/64, 2000, 2003, Server 2008 and Server 2012.

Q: 7. can this unit support an Imac 27 and a large format printer 44 for more than an hour?

A: Please send an e-mail to askbh@a href= http://bhphotovideo.com target= _blank bhphotovideo.com/a with the model of printer (Or wattage requirement for the printer) as well as the model year, and processor in your iMac. It will help with a more informed response in regards to runtime.

Q: 8. Is the battery replaceable?

A: Yes the BRG1500AVRLCD battery is user replaceable.

Q: 9. Is there a distance requirement between the ups and monitor?

A: Thank you everyone for your prompt replies! You have been very helpful.:-)

Q: 10. Can you run a 27" iMac off of it for about 10 minutes or is this best to safely shutdown?

A: Yes, the CyberPower BRG1500AVRLCD Intelligent LCD Series Uninterruptible Power Supply BH #CY1500AVRLCD could keep an iMac running for approximately 10 minutes but a UPS is best for safe shutdown during a power outage and does not replace a generator.
