• Connect the UPS only to an earthed / grounded outlet that meets national and local
electrical safety guidelines.

• Locate the UPS near a wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord between the UPS and
the outlet.

• The Liebert PSA has been designed for small office/home office use only; it is NOT
recommended for use in life-support applications.

• In the event of an emergency, press the OFF button and disconnect the power cord
from the AC power supply to properly disable the UPS.

• Do not attach power strips or surge suppressors to the UPS.

• Do not attempt to service any parts inside the UPS except the batteries. Failure to adhere
to this could cause personal injury or equipment malfunction and void the warranty.

• For technical support:

The UPS must be placed indoors, protected from water, direct
sunlight and excessive heat.

Provide at least 4" (100mm) of clearance on all sides of the unit
for proper ventilation.

Step 3 Charge the UPS Battery Before

Use

The UPS battery is not charged before shipping. It MUST be charged before use.

• Connect the UPS power cord to a wall outlet and charge for at least eight hours.

Note: If battery is placed in storage, charge the battery every six months if kept at
5°F to 85°F (-15°C to 29°C)—or every three months if kept at 86°F (30°C) or higher.

Step 4 Start the UPS

After the battery is fully charged:

• Turn on the UPS by pressing the On/Off button (see Figure 1 below).

LED 1 should be illuminated (green), indicating the UPS is operating in Normal Mode.

Step 7 Connect the Network Surge Protection

The UPS has two RJ-45 jacks for network lines (see
Figure 2 below).

• Connect a single-line network cable into the RJ-45
network surge protection IN jack on the rear of the
UPS.

• Connect an RJ-45 cable from the OUT jack on the
rear of the UPS to a port on a PC or network device
such as a router.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

To replace the battery:

1. Turn off all connected loads, then turn off the UPS (batteries are NOT
hot-swappable).

2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two top cover screws from
the back of the UPS.

3. Slide the top panel backward 1/2" (13mm). Slide the front panel upward,
then pull outward to remove it.

4. Gently pull the batteries out of the UPS.

5. Remove the black wire from the negative (-) terminal and the red wire from
the positive (+) terminal.

6. Verify that the replacement battery matches the dimensions and battery
type in the Specifications section below.

7. Connect the battery leads to the new batteries. Be sure to reconnect the
red wire to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the negative (-)
terminal.

Note: Small sparks may occur at the battery connectors during
reconnection.

8. Slide the batteries into the UPS.

9. Reposition the front panel and slide downward until it slides into place.
Slide the top panel forward until flush with the front panel. Reinsert the two
top cover screws removed in Step 2.

Dispose of the old batteries properly at an appropriate recycling facility.
