Built to shield critical devices from outages, brownouts, surges, and other power quality challenges, the PSI5 delivers reliable battery backup plus intelligent voltage regulation in a compact, flexible package. With a 2880VA / 2700W capacity and a 120V output, this unit is purpose-built to keep essential electronics online and data safe, giving you time to save work and gracefully shut down equipment when the grid falters. Whether you’re outfitting a computer lab, a home entertainment setup, or an executive workstation, the PSI5 combines performance, efficiency, and ease of use in a single, durable solution that’s ready for real-world environments.

• Robust power protection for essential gear: The Liebert PSI5 delivers strong battery-backed power to keep computers, networking devices, and media equipment running during outages. With ample 2880VA capacity and 2700W output, it supports multiple devices simultaneously, helping prevent data loss, corrupted files, and sudden hardware shutdowns. Its design prioritizes reliability in everyday usage, making it a smart investment for environments where uptime matters.
• Line-Interactive AVR for voltage stability: An integrated automatic voltage regulation (AVR) system actively stabilizes fluctuating input voltages. By correcting minor sags and surges without resorting to battery power, AVR reduces battery wear and prolongs runtime for critical devices. This feature ensures a clean, consistent output that minimizes power disturbances across connected equipment.
• TAA-compliant for government and education procurement: The PSI5 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, enabling straightforward purchasing through public sector programs. This makes it an ideal choice for schools, libraries, and government offices that require compliant, reliable power protection without compromising on performance.
• Versatile tower or rack-mount installation: Designed for flexible deployment, the PSI5 can sit on a floor or desk as a tower, or be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The adaptable form factor simplifies integration with IT gear, audio-visual setups, and networking closets, allowing you to optimize space while keeping cabling neat and accessible.
• Comprehensive protection with user-friendly operation: In addition to battery backup and AVR, the unit shields connected devices from power surges and quality issues. It features straightforward setup, clear status indicators, and intuitive controls so you can quickly verify health, performance, and runtime—delivering confidence in mission-critical environments.

how to install Vertiv Liebert PSI5 UPS

• Choose a well-ventilated, stable location near a grounded 120V outlet. Ensure there’s adequate clearance for cooling and access to the front panel controls.
• Decide on installation mode: place the UPS on a desk or shelf as a tower, or mount it in a standard 19-inch rack using the provided hardware and mounting rails.
• Connect your essential devices to the UPS’s outlets. Avoid overloading; distribute high-power equipment across outlets to maximize runtime during an outage.
• Plug the UPS into a grounded 120V outlet and allow the battery to charge fully before placing a heavy load on it. This initial charging period helps calibrate the unit for accurate runtime estimates.
• Power on the unit and run a self-test from the front panel or any included management software to confirm proper operation. If you use an accompanying management tool, configure alerts, runtime expectations, and safe shutdown settings for your environment.
• Establish a routine maintenance check: periodically test the UPS, verify firmware or software updates if applicable, and inspect cabling to ensure ongoing reliability in day-to-day use.
