CyberPower OR1500 Overview

The Smart App LCD Series 2U Line Interactive Sine Wave UPS from CyberPower provides simulated sine wave output of 1,500 VA and 1,125 W. Along with the battery backup, it also provides surge protection for department servers, workgroup servers, workstations, network devices, and telecom installations without active PFC power supplies. It uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently. This UPS system is ENERGY STAR qualified with GreenPower UPS Bypass circuitry to save on energy costs by reducing energy consumption and heat buildup.

Data Line Protection
  • Prevents power surges that travel through telephone and Ethernet lines from causing damage to electronics
Surge Protection
  • Diverts excess voltage away from sensitive electronic equipment during an AC power surge or power spike to prevent damage
Line-Interactive Topology
  • Exists when a line-interactive UPS has an autotransformer that regulates low voltages (e.g., brownouts) and over voltages (e.g., spikes) without having to switch to battery
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
  • Provides clean, consistent AC power by automatically boosting low voltage without using battery power when incoming utility power experiences minor fluctuations
Simulated Sine Wave Output
  • Uses pulse wave modulation to generate a stepped, approximated sine wave to supply cost-effective battery backup power for equipment that does not require sine wave output
GreenPower UPS Bypass Design
  • Allows utility power to bypass the UPS transformer, when AC power is stable, which reduces energy consumption, noise, and heat build-up
Rotatable Multifunction LCD Panel
  • 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
  • Rotatable panel is easily readable whether the UPS is rack mounted or standing as a tower
PowerPanel Business Edition Software (Included)
  • Provides tools for monitoring and managing the UPS and backup power, also offers remote management functionality
ENERGY STAR
  • ENERGY STAR certified Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system
Connected Equipment Guarantee
  • CyberPower will repair or replace properly connected equipment if it is damaged by a power surge
Applications
  • Department servers, workgroup servers, workstations, network devices, and telecom installations

Works -- No Issues

Unit is heavy (~50lb) and takes two people to securely mount in rack. Otherwise, it is typical of CyberPower UPS.

Does what it supposed to

It does what it is supposed to. I will update this in a year or so. The best part was that it was nearly $150 from b&h than Amazon. I started shopping here about 15 years ago when I fell down the dslr rabbit hole. Surprisingly competitive pricing, often cheaper, and never price gouging. Whatever the msrp price is or lower, the last year or two of video cards as an example, always the msrp, not like other retailers.

Can this UPS be remotely managed?
Asked by: M
This unit is able to be managed remotely, but would require a RMCard205 installed in the expansion port on the back of the UPS to communicate over your network. Thank you for your question!

Will this be sufficient to power a 16 core 2019 Mac Pro 7,1?
Asked by: Patrick
Hello Patrick, Thank you for your question. The wattage capabilities of this UPS unit should be more than capable of supporting the computer's power needs. However, we recommend checking to see if the power supply for the computer is an efficiency rated power supply, as many of these power supplies require true sine wave output on battery to function correctly. This particular UPS unit outputs simulated sine wave power when on battery and can potentially cause compatibility issues with efficiency rated power supplies when the unit is on battery. For more information, please contact our Technical Support team at 1-877-297-6937 (press 1).

Without the RMCard205, will this unit send (email or text) or display (via LCD panel) warnings of a deteriorating battery?
Asked by: Arthur
The CyberPower OR1500LCDRT2U Uninterrupted Power Supply, B&H # CYOR1500LCDQ, requires the RMCard205 for email or SMS notifications; on the LCD, if the battery is losing capacity even when you are not using battery power, it would indicate the battery is deteriorating. Generally they last between 3 and 5 years, depending on how much they are used.

question

Will this work with Mac OS X, like the CPS1500AVR?
Asked by: Anonymous
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
