•Coax cable; one 1 m (3 ft) long

•Quick Installation Guide

•Safety and Regulatory Guidelines

The following are available online at www.VertivCo.com:

•PSA5 Installer/User Guide (this document)

•Liebert MultiLink™ Shutdown Software

2.2 Unpacking and Inspection

Unpack the UPS and conduct the following checks:

•Inspect the UPS for shipping damage. If any shipping damage is found, report it to the carrier

and your local dealer or your Vertiv representative immediately.

•Check the accessories included in packaging list. If there is any discrepancy, contact your local

dealer or your Vertiv representative immediately.

2.3 Preparation for Installation

2.3.1 Installation Environment

•Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned Off.

The installation environment should meet the specifications listed in Specifications table, see

Specifications.

•Place it in an area of unrestricted air-flow around the unit, away from water, flammable liquids,

gases, corrosives, and conductive contaminants. Avoid direct sunlight.

•The socket outlet should be nearby and easily accessible.

•This UPS is not for use in a computer room as defined in the standard for the Protection of

Electronic Computer/Data Processing EquipmentANSI/NFPA75.

NOTE: Operating the UPS in temperatures above 77°F (25°C) reduces battery life.

2.3.2 Installation Clearances

Maintain at least 4 in. (100 mm) clearance in the front and rear. Do not obstruct the air inlets on the front

panel and rear panel. Blocking the air inlets reduces ventilation and heat dissipation, shortening the

service life of the UPS.

2.4 Installing the UPS

2.4.1 Connecting Loads

The UPS has 5 battery-backed outlets and surge-protected receptacles and 5 surge-protected-only

receptacles. Plug your critical equipment (such as computer, monitors, etc.) into the battery-backed

receptacles and your less-critical equipment (such as printers and other less-often used peripherals) into

the surge-only receptacles.

Vertiv | Liebert® PSA5™ Installer/User Guide | 9

2.4.2 Connecting for Network, Telephone or TV Protection

Protection from electrical surges to your computer network or telephone is provided. Use the

network/telephone surge-protection ports on the rear panel. Connect the “IN” port to the line from the

wall jack and the “OUT” port to your device port. Use of this feature is not required for proper operation of

the UPS.

Surge protection for your cable modem, DSS Receiver, or cable-TV connection is also provided using the

coax surge-protection ports on the rear panel. Connect the “IN” port to the line from the wall jack and the

“OUT” port to your device port. Use of this feature is not required for proper operation of the UPS.

2.4.3 USB Communication Connection

You can connect the PSA5 to a computer via USB allowing unattended, controlled-shutdown of your

computer in case of UPS input power failure. The UPS works with the computer running software built-in

within the Microsoft® Windows® operating system or the Liebert Multilink™ Shutdown software located at

www.VertivCo.com. Use of this feature is not required for proper operation of the UPS. To use this feature,

plug the provided USB cable into USB Type-B port located on the rear panel of the UPS and the other end

into an open USB port on your computer.

2.4.4 USB Charging Ports

The PSA5 has two easily-accessible, front-panel USB Type-A charging ports. These ports charge phones

or other small USB powered devices. The ports provide up to 2.1A of charge total shared dynamically

between both ports. You may plug devices into these ports at any time during installation and operation.

NOTE: Charging is only available when the UPS is in an On mode.

2.4.5 Connecting AC Input

Ensure that all the loads are first powered off. Connect to an input-power supply/wall outlet that is

properly protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The input

receptacle must be grounded. See Specifications, for input cord rating.

Once the UPS is plugged into the wall outlet, it begins charging the battery.

NOTE: While every precaution has been taken to ensure that the battery is in good condition, we

recommend allowing the UPS to be plugged into AC input and to charge the battery for at least 12

hours prior to providing full back-up time protection for any utility-power abnormality.
