CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD

The power to our house is usually reliable, but the last time it "blipped" for a second, it took down one of my computers. So, I decided to get a UPS for it...


CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD
  • 1000 VA/600 Watts
  • Adaptive Sinewave UPS technology (works with newer, more efficient PFC power supplies)
  • Automatic voltage regulation (AVR)
  • GreenPower UPS technology
  • Enhanced Multi-function LCD diagnostic display
  • Tower form (3.9" x 9.1" x 10.4")

The LCD display shows voltage I/O, events (# of blackouts occured, etc.), time left, battery level, output power VA and watts in actual value or percent. It normally turns off after a few seconds, but can also be set to always stay on.

The buttons are used for turning on the display, switching between displayed info, silencing the alarm, event counter reset, initiating a self-test, etc.
