CYBERPOWER CP1200D (01) PDF Document

To ensure safe operation of your CYBERPOWER CP1200D, please adhere to the following safety guidelines:

Install the unit in a temperature and humidity-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover except to service the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts inside except for the battery.

The unit must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Do not plug it into an outlet that is not grounded. If you need to de-energize the equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.

To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery or installing a computer component.

The unit should be connected only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with national codes.

Do not use the unit for medical or life support equipment, as it is not designed for such applications.

Do not use the unit with or near aquariums, as condensation can cause the unit to short out.

Do not use the unit with laser printers, as the power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.

Follow these steps to properly install your CYBERPOWER CP1200D:

1. Recharge the batteries for at least 16 hours upon receipt to ensure maximum charge capacity. This can be done by simply leaving the unit plugged into an AC outlet in either the ON or OFF position.

2. With the unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and externally powered data storage devices (such as Zip or Tape drives) into the battery power supplied outlets.

3. Plug peripheral equipment like printers, scanners, and speakers into the full-time surge protection outlets. Note: Do not plug laser printers, paper shredders, copiers, space heaters, or vacuums into the UPS.

4. To protect a network connection, connect a network cable from the wall jack to the IN jack of the UPS, then connect another cable from the OUT jack of the UPS to the network device.

5. Plug the UPS into a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands. Do not use extension cords, outlet strips, or surge strips.

6. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The indicator light will illuminate and the unit will beep once.

7. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound. To correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power outlets. Wait 10 seconds, ensure the circuit breaker is depressed, and turn the unit back on.

The CYBERPOWER CP1200D features several controls and indicators for operation:

Power Switch: Used as the master on/off switch for equipment connected to the battery power supplied outlets.

Power On Indicator: Illuminates when utility conditions are normal and the outlets are providing power free of surges.

Using Battery Indicator: Illuminates when the unit is running in backup battery mode.

AVR Indicator: Illuminates when the unit is in Automatic Voltage Regulation mode.

Over Load Indicator: Illuminates to warn that the unit is overloaded and the connected load needs to be reduced.

Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator: Warns of potential wiring problems like bad ground, missing ground, or reversed wiring in the wall outlet.

Communication Protection Ports: Protects standard modems, fax machines, telephone lines, or Ethernet connections.

Circuit Breaker: Located on the side of the unit to provide overload and fault protection.

Serial/USB Ports: Allows for communication between the UPS and a computer.

Coax/Cable/DSS Surge Protection: Protects cable modems, CATV converters, or DSS receivers.

To replace the battery in your CYBERPOWER CP1200D, follow this procedure:

1. Turn off and unplug all connected equipment.

2. Turn off the UPS and unplug it from the AC power source.

3. Turn the UPS upside down.

4. Remove the retaining screw.

5. Slide the battery compartment cover (front panel) completely off the unit.

6. Remove the batteries from the compartment.

7. Disconnect the battery wires from the batteries.

8. Install the replacement batteries by connecting the red wire and black wire to the corresponding color terminals on the battery pack.

9. Place the batteries back into the compartment.

10. Slide the battery compartment cover back on and tighten the retaining screw.

11. Recharge the unit for 8 to 16 hours to fully charge the new battery.

The runtime for the CYBERPOWER CP1200D varies depending on the connected equipment:
