OVERVIEW
The BRG1350AVRLCD/BRG1500AVRLCD provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The
BRG1350AVRLCD/BRG1500AVRLCD features 1500 Joules of surge protection. Both units provide long lasting battery backup during power
outages with maintenance free batteries. The BRG1350AVRLCD/BRG1500AVRLCD 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 BRG1350AVRLCD/BRG1500AVRLCD stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to nominal levels that
are safe for equipment. Inconsistent incoming utility power may be damaging to important data files and
hardware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), damaging voltage levels are corrected to safe levels.
AVR automatically increases low utility power or decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe 110/120
volts.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity (1350VA/810W
for BRG1350AVRLCD, 1500VA/900W for BRG1500AVRLCD). If the rated capacities of the units are 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.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to ensure the
battery’s maximum charge capacity, it is recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours. Your
UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will
automatically charge whether the UPS is turned on or off.
2. Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during shipment.
The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it will not power up.
3. With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other peripherals
requiring battery backup into the battery power supplied outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater,
vacuum, sump pump or other large electrical devices into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets”. The power demands of these
devices may overload and damage the UPS.
4. 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.
5. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate and the unit will “beep”. If
an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn
the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Make sure the
circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
6. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
7. To store the UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every three
months to ensure battery life.
8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.

1. ONLINE: The UPS is supplying utility power to connected equipment.
2. BATTERY: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon appears and an alarm sounds
(two short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal
batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will beep rapidly every 1/2
second to indicate the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power. You should save files and
turn off your equipment immediately or allow the software to shut the system down.
3. Energy-Saving: The UPS in energy-saving bypass mode. See “CyberPower GreenPower
UPS
TM
Technology” section for more information.
4. LOAD capacity / Sensitivity setup: LOAD capacity: This meter displays the approximate
output load level (in 20% increments) of the UPS battery outlets.
Sensitivity setup: This meter is also used to setup the UPS sensitivity when you are in the
programming mode. If the connected equipment can tolerate more power events (example: unstable power often associated with stormy
weather), select Low Sensitivity and the UPS will go to Battery Mode less often. If the connected equipment is more sensitive to power
events, select High Sensitivity and the UPS will go to Battery Mode more often.
5. BATTERY capacity: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS’s internal battery. During a blackout
or severe brownout, the UPS switches to battery power, the BATTERY icon appears, and the charge level decreases.
6. FAULT: This icon appears if there is a problem with the UPS. Press the POWER button to turn the UPS off.
F01: Battery Mode or AC/Utility Power Mode Overload fault (Unplug at least one piece of equipment from battery outlets and turn the

mode, AVR mode, and battery backup mode. (Note: The OUTPUT meter shows the status of the battery backup outlets in terms of load,
frequency, and voltage.)
11. INPUT Meter: This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed,
through the use of automatic voltage regulation, to continuously correct output voltage to connected equipment to a safe 110/120 voltage
output range. In the event of a complete power loss, severe brownout, or over-voltage, the UPS relies on its internal battery to supply
consistent 110/120 output voltage. The INPUT voltage meter can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power.
12. EVENT: This meter records the number of power outages.
13. MUTE: This icon appears whenever the UPS is in silent mode. However, when there is a problem with the UPS, the alarm will still beep
even in silent mode.
14. AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation): This icon appears whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low or high AC line voltage
without using battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
