cyberpower systems lx1500gu 1500va ups with lcd display made in china

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) in line interactive UPS systems stabilizes the incoming AC signal to maintain output power at a nominal 120 volts by controlling high and low voltages without resorting to battery power. This significantly increases battery life and lessens the likelihood of data loss, memory freezes, and system crashes.

A line interactive UPS includes an AVR autotransformer a special type of transformer designed to switch between powered coils of wire in response to variances in utility power input, thereby increasing or decreasing the magnetic field and the resulting output voltage to connected equipment.

This type of UPS tolerates undervoltage brownouts and overvoltage surges without consuming backup battery power by automatically selecting different power taps on the AVR autotransformer. During normal operation, incoming AC power bypasses the autotransformer (where voltage highs and lows are controlled) while also charging the battery. When the incoming voltage falls below the AVR range, the UPS switches to battery backup, and the DC-AC inverter circuitry is engaged. Power will continue to be supplied by the battery-inverter circuit until incoming voltage returns to the range manageable by the AVR.

My CyberPower CP 1350 AVR LCD Intelligent UPS device (battery backup and surge suppression) arrived two days ago (purchased on Amazon). The first thing that happened when I plugged it in was a red light on in the back of it, "Wiring fault." I looked it up and on the Cyberpowersystems.support page it says, "The wiring fault light indicates that the outlet that the unit is connected to is either not properly grounded or has reversed wiring. First, try connecting the unit to another outlet. If the unit still displays the electrical wiring fault, contact technical support for assistance. If the unit does not display the wiring fault light in the new outlet, you will need to have an electrician correct the problem with the faulty outlet." So, after trying it on another outlet and also got a red light with that one, I called CyberPower. I just want to say how polite and attentive the CyberPower guys are on the telephone. I have since called them with more questions about hooking up the unit, and each time (3 different guys) they were knowledgeable and solved the problem quickly. The red light problem went as follows: they said that the outlets probably are not grounded, and if all your outlets give the red light, it could mean that your house doesn"t have grounded outlets. I was surprised, since almost all of my outlets have 3-prong plugs; the 3-prongs are supposed to be for grounded units, but people can install a 3-prong on an outlet that is not grounded, and that still does not make it grounded. Very important to know! So, I bought a "receptable tester" at Lowe"s for $5 and tried out the outlets in my house and discovered that certain rooms did not have grounded outlets, while other rooms did. (Just want to add that you can do this without buying a receptacle tester, if you have a surge protector power strip with the two lights on it that say "Protected" and "Grounded." If the "Grounded" light doesn"t light up or is DIM, then that outlet is NOT grounded - same thing with the receptacle tester - the two lights on the right should be fully on - if the middle one is bright and the one on the right is DIM then your outlet is NOT grounded. My electrician confirmed this. At first, he thought maybe the center light was reflecting in the right light, but it was DIM. He tested the outlet with his other tools, and said it was NOT grounded.) It dawned on me that the rooms that had grounded outlets were built 1970s or later, and the rooms that did not have grounded outlets were installed with the original house, built in 1955. Unfortunately, the rooms I need to use the CyberPower device in are the old part of the house where my office is. I"m sharing this information, because there are likely to be others who will experience this same situation. If your house is an older house, it is likely that the outlets in some rooms (the older ones) are not grounded, which means you need to call in a professional electrician and have a new, grounded, outlet installed. A new grounded outlet involves putting in a separate line from the main electric box in your house, all the way to the spot where you want an outlet to hook up your UPS device. For many people this isn"t difficult. For me it was problematic since my basement is finished, with paneling and ceiling tiles all around, and there were only two teeny possible places in the ceilings of closets where the electrician could try to drill a hole up into the wall for an outlet on the first floor. It took him several hours, but he was finally about to get around the heating ducts and struts, and with the aid of a special drill extender he was able to get two new, grounded, outlets installed in my first-floor office. I had him install two, although I only needed one, so I"d have plenty of outlets for digital devices that need grounding. It did cost me, but now I can be confident that my electronics will be protected with grounding, surge suppression, and battery backup.

The second problem I faced was when I hooked up the UPS to my new (replacement model) Comcast "wireless gateway" modem/router, and wanted the WiFi signal to go out, not from the Comcast unit, but from my Apple Time Capsule unit. I"m sharing this info because I feel certain that others will run into this, too. I followed the Comcast instructions with one exception - the Comcast cable comes out of the wall and into the cable "input" of the CyberPower UPS device. Then you need another cable coming out of the CyberPower unit, from the cable "output" into the Comcast modem/router. So, I thought I had everything hooked up correctly, but it didn"t work. I called Comcast and had to talk with an intake person for about twenty minutes before they would pass me to a tech specialist. They helped me get it set up, but after we got off the phone, my Apple Time Capsule continued to blink amber (yellow) and didn"t go to the green light. When I checked in the Time Machine app, there was a message, "Double NAT." I looked that up, and it means you have two WiFi systems running. So, even though the Comcast guy told me he was disabling the WiFi on my Comcast unit so that signals would go out through my Time Capsule, there was still this problem. The Comcast guy told me he couldn"t help me any more, have to call Apple. So I called Apple. Apple is always very nice, but the intake person didn"t know what to do about the yellow light. He passed me to a WiFi specialist at Apple, and that guy knew exactly what to do. So here is what you should do if your Apple Time Capsule keeps blinking amber (yellow) after you have your CyberPower and Comcast set up: Look in Applications - Utilities - AirPort Utility. The Internet icon should have a green light to the left of it. If the Time Capsule icon has an amber (yellow) light to the left of it, simply double-click on the amber light in the picture. It will open a small window. Again, see the yellow circle there and click on it. You will see a small drop-down that has the option "Ignore." --> CLICK ON IGNORE. That is the solution. The Apple guy says "We get this all the time." There are other solutions you will see online, including something about "bridge." Don"t do that. Just click "ignore" and you"ll be all set from there on out.

One other difficulty I had was plugging devices into the CyberPower unit. I thought something was wrong. The situation is, when you plug things into the unit for the first time, it takes a lot of muscle to shove them into the sockets. Right out of the factory, the plugs are tight. So just use your strength and force them in. After that, it"s no problem at all.

I set the CyberPower unit on the floor near the Comcast outlet and modem, and hooked up my computer speaker system and Time Capsule near it. That keeps all the wires in the same area, and off my desk. I have a 14-gauge (9-foot) heavy duty extension cord running from the CyberPower unit to my iMac desktop. I purchased the extension cord on Amazon, too. The CyberPower guys said to get a 14-gauge "one-to-one" extension cord. That means that each electronic device you put on an extension cord coming out of the UPS device needs to have its own extension cord - this is important. This is why I moved my Time Capsule and speakers over to plug in directly to the CyberPower device on the floor. So my desk has just one cord coming off of it, no spaghetti mess of wires all over the place, just on the floor in the corner. The extension cord I picked is a neutral gray, and very flexible:

One last comment - this is a most impressive looking machine. It is big and very solid. It is also VERY HEAVY. Other than the things I mentioned, I have had no problem with the device. I have a new grounded outlet now, and I managed to get a Comcast modem hooked through it, and the WiFi signal to go through my Apple Time Capsule, which I"m sure many of you have. So I hope this info helps some of you out there. I am very happy with my purchase, and now thinking I will buy another one for my TV and sound system in the recreation room (which is in the newer part of the house and has grounded outlets!). If I ever do have a problem with it, I will report back! Happy customer, and very happy with the CyberPower tech guys!

I"ve owned this for about 4 weeks now, and am very happy with my purchase. This is powering an Intel Core I-7, 5960 with 32GB of ram, (with NVidia Quadro FX video card) and I have had no issues whatsoever. (This is a work computer running CAD/CAM software) We have had one or two power blinks since the purchase, and the computer was unaffected. Plenty of power, and plenty of "back up time" if we need a controlled shutdown due to extended power outage. I did not load any UPS software - didn"t feel the need to. We will definitely purchase another of these the next time we need one. (Last unit was APC brand, and circuit board died at 3 years - warranty was 2 years - thus my switching brands)

The closest match I could find in general appearance and features on CyberPower"s U.S. site is the BGR1500AVRLCD, which has two extra outlets and an RS232 (DB9) serial port.

The first thing I noticed upon picking the LX1500GU-FC up was its weight. Of course, I was expecting this, given the larger batteries listed in CyberPower"s specifications. With all of the plastic panels and fasteners in place, the enclosure feels satisfyingly sturdy, though its matte finish is an excellent fingerprint magnet.

The shallower and narrower APC unit looks huge next to CyberPower"s solution. In terms of actual volume though, the comparison is 10.8 to 9.6 liters (only a 70 cubic-inch difference). The LX1500 must be using space more efficiently to fit its 25 percent larger batteries and 50 percent higher peak output in an 11 percent smaller volume.

While most enthusiasts don"t move their battery backup systems regularly, having a plug with good ergonomics is still nice. Instead of going for the lowest-profile plug design possible, CyberPower employs a sharp ridge standing about half an inch from the wall with ears to provide a more comfortable thumb grip.

There is one minor issue with the design: in a correctly wired installation, the live pin is closer to your thumb than it needs to be. A simple safety improvement would be to make the cable enter the plug from the other side of the ground pin, which would make neutral and ground your thumb"s new neighbors.

Now this is disappointing. CyberPower uses a cord with 3x1.31mm (AWG #16) for power. While it"s adequate to carry the 12.5A a 1500VA UPS may need to pass through, and just below the UL"s 13A recommended maximum for #16 power cords, the extra wiring losses are at odds with energy efficiency goals. Good thing I had no plans to plug anything other than my PC, my LCDs, my USB hub and external HDDs (when in use) into it anyway.

Up front you"ll find one button to turn the unit on/off, one dual-purpose "Display" button used to cycle the LCD through various measurements (input voltage, output voltage, output power, output VA, load %, estimated run time and battery charge level) and enter one-button configuration mode, and the status display.

On-device configuration could have been made quicker and easier by borrowing the power button: use it as an Enter key (a quick action that would not interfere with its regular functions, since they require long presses) instead of holding the Display button for three seconds to enter menus and wait for eight more to confirm selections.

We get two banks of outlets around back, one surge-only and the other with battery backup. There"s also the pop-breaker, the network and cable surge suppressor, wiring fault indicator and a USB port for computer monitoring.

Unless CyberPower provides exceptional surge protection in its mainstream UPS, this seems like too many surge-only outlets for a model that only has a #16 gauge power cord.

Plastered across the top of the UPS is a metalized sticker with first-time turn-on instructions. Under the label is a tough plastic sticker, which is either intended as a warranty seal or to prevent the two halves of the shell from coming apart during shipping. Perhaps both.

CyberPower reuses the same mold for at least three LX models. The unreadable line at the bottom simply states that input current ratings are for the whole unit, including surge-only outlets. Other information molded directly into the panel includes an FCC compliance declaration, the usual warning complement of indoor use only at 40 °C or less, electric shock hazard and no serviceable parts inside. There"s nothing out of the ordinary.

CyberPower also specifies the total harmonic distortion of its modified sine wave output as 46.8 percent with a peak harmonic up to 33.4 percent. In other words, expect the usual bipolar return-to-zero (BPRZ) waveform.
