IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation
and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to
install or operate this UPS.

WARNING

!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install the UPS in a temperature and humidity
controlled room, free of conductive contaminants, moisture, flammable liquids, gases and
corrosive substances.

Operate the UPS only from a properly grounded (earthed) 110-127 VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz AC
supply.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover, as it has no user-serviceable
parts inside except the internal battery pack. Some components are live, even when AC power
is disconnected. For service, contact a qualified technician.

CAUTION

!

Although your UPS has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety, improper
use can result in electrical shock or fire. To ensure safety, please observe the following rules:

• Turn Off and unplug your UPS before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. A dry
cloth is recommended to remove dust from the surface of your UPS.

• Do not install or operate your UPS in or near water.

• Do not place UPS on an unstable cart, stand or table.

• Do not place UPS under direct sunlight or close to heat emitting sources.

• Never block or insert any objects into the ventilation holes or other openings of the UPS.
Keep all vents free of dust accumulation that could restrict air flow.

• Do not place UPS power cord in any area where it may get damaged by heavy objects.

WARNING

!

If your UPS demonstrates any of the following conditions, turn Off and unplug your UPS from
the outlet and contact your local dealer, Liebert representative or Liebert Worldwide Support
Group:

• The power cord or plug is damaged.

• Liquid has been spilled on the UPS.

• The circuit protector trips frequently.

• The UPS does not operate in accordance with the user manual.

CONDITIONS OF USE: The input receptacle must be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the UPS.

Your UPS provides conditioned power to connected equipment. Maximum load must not exceed that
shown on UPS rating label. If uncertain, consult your local dealer, Liebert representative or the Lie­bert Worldwide Support Group.

Placing magnetic storage media on top of the UPS may result in data corruption.

The equipment can be installed and operated by individuals without previous training.

CAUTION

!

DO NOT CONNECT equipment that could overload the UPS or demand half-wave
rectification from the UPS, for example: electric drills, vacuum cleaners, laserjet/inkjet
printers, hair dryers, overhead projectors.

CAUTION

!

BATTERY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of
batteries and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from the batteries.

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

• Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.

• Use tools with insulated handles.

• Do not dispose battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.

• Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and
eyes. It may be toxic.

• When replacing the battery, use same number and type of battery as the suitable recom­mended type of battery listed in specification table in back of this manual.

• Handle, transport and recycle batteries in accordance with local regulations.

NOTE

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment uses, generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment Off and On, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the UPS and the receiver.

• Connect the UPS into an outlet on a circuit different from the one on which the receiver is
connected.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert PowerSure™ PSI Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
It provides conditioned power to microcomputers and other sensitive electronic equipment.

Upon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during transmission it may be subject to
voltage sags, spikes, or complete power failure which may interrupt computer operations, cause data
loss, or even damage equipment. The PowerSure PSI protects equipment from these disturbances.

The PowerSure PSI comes in nominal power ratings of 1000, 1440, 1920, 2200 and 3000 VA. Refer to
the Specifications section for details.

The PowerSure PSI is a 2U, line-interactive UPS that may be installed in a rack or used in a tower
configuration. A line-interactive UPS continuously conditions and regulates its output voltage,
whether utility power is present or not. It supplies connected equipment with clean, sinewave power
to simulate the power generated by the utility. Sensitive electronic equipment operates best from
sinewave power.

For ease of use, the PowerSure PSI contains Status Indicators to display Load Level, Battery Level,
Buck/Boost, Over Temperature and Battery. It also provides self-diagnostic tests, a combination ON/
Alarm Silence/Battery Test button, an OFF button and Voltage Programming button.

The PowerSure PSI has USB, DB-9 (RS232/contact closure) and Intellislot interface ports for commu­nications between the UPS and a LAN server or other computer systems. The DB-9 port provides
detailed operating information including voltages, currents, and alarm status to the host system
when used in conjunction with Liebert’s MultiLink™ software. MultiLink software can also remotely
control UPS operation. The USB port provides detailed operating information and alarm status to the
host system when used in conjunction with the Liebert Human Interface Device (HID) and Microsoft
Power Manager software.
