# cyberpower(8)

Serial Driver for most Cyber Power Systems UPS equipment

## NAME

cyberpower - Serial Driver for most Cyber Power Systems UPS equipment

## NOTE

This man page only documents the hardware‐specific features of the cyberpower driver.  For information about the core driver, see [**nutupsdrv**(8)](/nutupsdrv/8.md).

## SUPPORTED HARDWARE

This driver supports connections over a serial port for most AVR models.  It was developed on the 700AVR, but has also been reported to work on the 320AVR, 500AVR, 650AVR, 800AVR, 850AVR, 900AVR, 1250AVR, and 1500AVR.

The Power99 device is not supported by this driver (use the **genericups** driver instead). Also, CPS825VA, 1100AVR, and 1500AVR-HO are not supported (try the **cpsups** driver instead).

This driver does not support connections over a USB port. To connect to a Cyber Power UPS over a USB port, use the **usbhid-ups** driver. This has been reported to work for the 685AVR and possibly other models.

## EXTRA ARGUMENTS

This driver does not support any extra settings in the     [**ups.conf**(5)](/ups.conf/5.md).

## BUGS

The protocol for this UPS is not officially documented.

Some variables may not be reported correctly on models other than those  used by the developers.  This is partly due to the strange nonlinear  relations between the reported values and their meanings on this hardware.
