Product Description

The AVR Series CP685AVR UPS is an ideal unit for basic to mid-level computer systems. The 685AVR guards against surges, spikes, sags, and brownouts, and protects your computer system and valuable data during a power outage. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) monitors incoming AC power and maintains a safe voltage level. This model also has full dataline protection: RJ11/RJ45 (phone, fax, Ethernet, network, DSL) and RG-6 coax (DSS, cable modem, satellite, cable TV). PowerPanel PE ¿ Power Management supplements the backup/surge protection by monitoring the status of your UPS and safely shuts down your system in event of a power outage. The standalone design allows for vertical, horizontal, or out-of-site wall mount. ¿Surge-Only¿ outlets are perfect for the addition of peripherals such as monitors, printers, scanners, iPods, or CD/DVD players. * Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) - AVR technology will stabilize the AC signal and maintain a safe voltage level without switching to battery-mode. This conserves battery life, and delivers a cleaner signal to your connected equipment. * GreenPower UPS¿ - GreenPower UPS¿ technology significantly reduces UPS energy costs by bypassing the AVR transformer when incoming AC power is clean. This not only dramatically reduces UPS utility consumption, but also reduces heat dissipation and system noise. * Ultra-Quiet UPS - The combination of an advanced ventilation design, high-end system components, and GreenPower UPS¿ technology give CyberPower UPS systems the lowest sound emissions in its class. This makes our UPS perfect for desktop applications, audio/video installations, and quiet workstation environments. * USB Connectivity - An HID-compliant USB port enables full integration with the built-in power management and auto shutdown features of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. * PowerPanel PE ¿ Smart Management Software * 3-year Warranty

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well with OS X, emergency generator power, July 20, 2006

Got the UPS for my 2.0 GHz DP PowerMac and 20-inch ACD. I was specifically attracted to the automatic voltage regulator feature of this UPS. We have an automatic emergency generator for our house, and during power outages units like the APC Backup Pro 650 would cycle on and off and chirp like crazy. Apparently the line voltage fluctuates too much on generator power. A few days after setting up the Cyberpower UPS, the power went out during an electrical storm and the unit seemed to work flawlessly. One note: I was trying to figure out why no OS X software came with the included CD. After calling the company, I found out that you only need to install the software for Windows PCs. With Macs, all the software controls are built in to OS X. You just plug your components into the UPS, hook up the USB cable, start the computer. On start up, the computer recognized the UPS automatically, and you can set everything (e.g. how many minutes before shut-down, presence of UPS icon on menu bar, etc) through System Preferences. Sweet. Another reason to own a Mac. It just works.

I was concerned that such a reasonable price I would be getting crap. Software works well and will tell you when you had a outage or a shortage / brownout (it kicks in to keep voltage constant). I have a large system dell 24in lcd, dsl router, wireless router, dual core tower, external hard drive. It will run for over 10 minutes no problem. Software said it will do 14 if needed. Has auto shutdown that you can program to take over in an outage. I have mine set to 5 minutes without power before auto shutdown is engaged.

I bought the 800VA/450W USwith Avr and had very satisfactory results, so when I bought a smaller UPS for my parents I bought another CyberPower, the 685VA/390W. The setup was, like the 800, direct and simple, and no driver software was needed (even though my parents were still using an old -- but upgraded -- iMac Blueberry with Jaguar.) This is a good product, and is serving my parents well in an area plagued with brownouts, blackouts, surges and power dips. Just make sure you do some shopping before you buy: I wound up buying both at the top of their price range.
