CyberPowerOL2200RTXL2UN Smart App Online UPS System, 2200VA/1800W, 7 Outlets, 2U Rack/Tower, RMCARD205 Pre-Installed, EBM Option, UL Certified

Very simple to set up and use, and has been operating flawlessly. It's a "double-conversion" type, designed to run on generator power during power outages, which is why I bought it (no outages since I installed the unit, so I can't report yet on how well that works). Very solid, robust physical construction (weighs 40 pounds!).I also bought the RMCARD302 network card for it, so I can check its status via web browser from any of the 3 PCs that I have hooked up to it. My router automatically assigned it an IP address (shown on the router's Status page), so I was able to access it right away, with no fuss. It comes with "Power Panel Business Edition" software, so I installed that on one of my PCs, but found it to be unnecessary and in fact overkill for my simple installation, so I uninstalled it. The network card has its own user interface, which I find more than adequate.Yes, the cooling fan is fairly loud. I do lots of audio work on my PCs, and I need a quiet environment, so my CyberPower unit is installed in the basement, with extension cords running up to my 3 PCs. And the PCs themselves are low-power fanless units (from SuperLogics). Problem solved!Update (9/5/16): I can now report that this unit performs flawlessly in the event of a power outage. I was editing some audio files on my PC late at night when the outage occurred. The room suddenly went black, but my PC didn't even blink! Then 20 seconds later my generator kicked in and the lights came back on. Several hours later, the utility power was restored and the generator stopped. My PC continued to operate normally through all of this, as if none of it ever happened! The CyberPower unit was configured in Generator Mode (as opposed to Normal Mode) with Power Fail Conditions being anything outside of 95-150VAC and 60 Hz +/-10%. These settings evidently worked, and I can now recommend this CybePower UPS without reservation.

For what it is, this unit is great. It is supposed to be rack-mounted at a data center, where airflow is king and noise is no big deal. So far, I'm impressed with the unit, but it is definitely not meant for residential operation. I had a Cyberpower "line interactive" model that was far less expensive, and the first time a solid storm came along while I was using my computer - pow! there goes my PSU and who knows what else inside the PC took a hit. If you're using a line-interactive UPS, get rid of it now. It may work fine for power sag, but it has a several-millisecond cutover time from line to battery, and that is far too long - the damage is already done. You need an "online" UPS - one that runs all of the connected equipment on battery power at all times, period. My advice to Cyberpower would be to create a residential unit that is sized to handle all the load a 15 or 20-amp circuit could throw at it, but in a form factor that is better for residential usage, and without the need for a 70CFM fan running at full blast all the time. When this thing switches to battery power, it sounds like an absolute wind tunnel when both high-static pressure fans fire up at the same time. During standard operation, there is a single 70CFM fan blowing (probably at max RPM) at all times, and in a quiet office, it is distracting. In a residential setting, the unit will be installed in a much cooler, much quieter, and much less cluttered environment. They could repackage this in a form factor that would allow a nice 140mm magnetic bearing fan that would run dead quiet most of the time. If they made a fully-online model that could handle say 1800 watts (15 amp circuit, 120 volts), or 2400 watts (20 amp circuit, 120 volts), but with no option to expand, and no rack-mount rails - well that would be the perfect home office UPS. I hope Cyberpower reads these reviews!

I love the Cyberpower products. Have beenm purchasing this brand for over 15 years. I have verified purchase at least 21-24 1500 versions. I have only had about 3-4 fail. And maybe 2-3 die due to batteries. Got new batteries and still going today.This unit, I only got this unit after moving and being somewhat off grid at times. Turns out if you do not have a generator that is also an inverter they will not use generator power to recharge. If I had a whole house genrator this would not be a problem, I have 12k portable gen using 50amp to my fuse panel. I called Cyber Power and they explained to me how their units work. I was suggested to get their ONLINE units that have a setting to use Generator mode. This was an expensive purchase but I feel it was worth it.The unit is a little loud when it has to be battery mode, considering I would be off the power grid and generator, I am ok with this. So it sits next to my PC. I have a gaming PC and ONLY my computer is plugged intot his unit. I have 14-18 percent with aroun 59 minutes run time. I can tell you it lasted my about 45-48 minutes when I tested it. Plenmty of time for me to power up the generator. I have my 2 huge 49 inch monitors on 2 smaller 1500 ups ion their own UPS in fact and they about 85 minutes run time.At the end of the day, I made the right choice for me and it is very power to handle what I need. I am going to get one more for my main network that will be used my my 2 different internet connections, a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Enterprise router and a Ubiquiti 24 port swirch. I did test this on that setup and had around 64 minutes. Make sure you get the right unit for your needs and enviormnment. Cyberpower has done good for me.

Facile à configurer et protège les équipements contre les mini-pannes de courants de quelques minutes répétitives.

Es un aparato enorme y de 30kg de peso. Lo uso para mis aparatos de entretenimiento (TV, home theater, PS4 Pro...). Aparte de sus dimensiones y peso, hay que considerar que su ventilador permanece funcionando aunque el UPS esté apagado, así que para algunos puede resultar molesto el permanente sonido que hace. A mí no me molesta y me da la tranquilidad de que mis aparatos están protegidos con lo más fino en calidad de frecuencia y respaldo de energía. Es necesario tener (o instalar) un contacto de 20 amperios, o conseguir un adaptador para conectarlo a un contacto convencional de 15 amperios.

Very reliable and works exactly as expected to create an isolated power supply. The fan is very noisy, even in an office environment and my loads are never higher than 40% of its rating, so I should be able to slow down the fan a bit or create a custom water cooling mechanism. You definitely can't keep this in the same room as any human in a working environment due to the fan noise.

Absolutely amazing clean power!

The fan is very noisy, and continue to work even if the start button is in off position
