The controls and features of the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 are detailed below:

The package for the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 includes the following items:

• USB cable; one 2 m (6.5 ft) long

• Coax cable; one 1 m (3 ft) long

• Quick Installation Guide

• Safety and Regulatory Guidelines

After unpacking your VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120, you should 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 the packaging list. If there is any discrepancy, contact your local dealer or your Vertiv representative immediately.

To ensure proper operation and longevity of your VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120, follow these environmental guidelines for installation:

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

• 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.

Maintain at least 4 in (100 mm) clearance in the front and rear of the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120. 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.

The VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 has 5 battery-backed 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.

To protect your equipment from electrical surges, use the appropriate ports on the rear panel of the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120:

• For network or telephone protection: Use the network/telephone surge-protection ports. Connect the “IN” port to the line from the wall jack and the “OUT” port to your device port.

• For cable modem, DSS Receiver, or cable-TV protection: Use the coax surge-protection ports. Connect the “IN” port to the line from the wall jack and the “OUT” port to your device port.

Use of these features is not required for proper operation of the UPS.

You can connect the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 to a computer via USB to allow for unattended, controlled-shutdown in case of a power failure. The UPS works with the built-in power management software in the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. To use this feature, plug the provided USB cable into the USB Type-B port on the rear panel of the UPS and the other end into an open USB port on your computer.

First, ensure that all connected loads are powered off. Then, connect the UPS to an input-power supply/wall outlet that is properly protected by a circuit breaker and is grounded. 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, it is recommended to allow 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.

The VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 has several modes of operation. In all modes, including Off mode, the UPS always provides surge protection and input-breaker protection to all 10 outlets.

• Off Mode: The UPS input is plugged in, but the battery-backed outlets are turned off. The internal batteries are charging. The surge-only outlets will still have power.

• On/Normal Mode: The UPS input is plugged into a stable source, and the battery-backed outlets are on. The internal batteries are charging.

• On/Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Mode: When the input voltage is abnormally low (brown-out), the UPS automatically corrects it to provide normal voltage to the battery-backed outlets. The internal batteries are charging. The surge-only outlets will have the abnormally-low input voltage.

• On/Battery Mode: If the input power is lost or unstable, the UPS automatically switches to its internal battery to provide power to the battery-backed outlets. The surge-only outlets will not have power.

• Fault Mode: An error has occurred, and the battery-backed outlets are shut off. The surge-only outlets may still have power if the UPS input is plugged in.

• Battery Self-test Mode: The UPS runs a 10-second test of the internal battery. This occurs at start-up, automatically every 8 weeks, or when manually initiated.

The functions of the front panel buttons are as follows:

The LCD display uses icons and a numeric display to show the status of the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120. The display automatically powers-off to conserve power but remains on when there is a warning or fault.

The VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 uses different audible tones to indicate its status:

The VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 has three early-warning indicators. Follow these steps to resolve them:

If the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 detects a problem, it will display a fault code and shut off output power. Refer to the table below for actions:

With the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 connected to AC input, press-and-hold the power button for 1 second. A long tone and 2 short beeps will sound while the UPS enters battery self-test mode for a few seconds. After a successful self-test, the outlets will turn on.

To fully shut down the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120, follow these steps:

1. Press-and-hold the power button for 1 second. The outlets are turned off.

2. Disconnect AC-input power.

3. Remove the battery cover and disconnect the battery connector. The unit is now fully shut down.

To ensure safety and proper maintenance of your VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120, observe the following precautions:

• Turn off and unplug the UPS before cleaning it.

• Clean the UPS with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• Never block or insert any objects into the ventilation holes or other openings of the UPS.

• Do not place the UPS power cord where it might be damaged.

The batteries in the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 are valve-regulated, non-spill-able, lead acid and should be kept charged to attain their design life. The UPS charges the batteries continuously when it is connected to the utility input power. If the UPS will be stored for a long time, it is recommended to connect the UPS to input power for at least 24 hours every 4 to 6 months to ensure full recharge of the batteries.

To replace the internal battery pack in your VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120, follow these steps:

1. Turn the UPS on its side or slide it to the edge of a table.

2. Remove the front battery-compartment cover: While firmly pressing in on the V indentation located in the center just below the USB charging ports, slide the battery compartment cover down, then lift off the cover and expose the battery.

3. Disconnect the battery connector by squeezing and gently pulling the two pieces apart.

4. Slide out the existing battery and disconnect the bottom top half of the connector cable from the two battery terminals. Disconnect the red wire first, then the black.

5. Plug the removed connector into the terminals of the new replacement battery. Plug the black wire in first, then the red.

6. Orient the connector and the replacement battery in the same way as the removed battery and slide into the UPS.

7. Reconnect the two halves of the battery connector and slide the front panel back on until it clicks.

8. Press-and-hold the power button for 3 seconds to initiate the battery self-test and clear any previous battery fault warning.

9. Properly dispose of the old batteries at an appropriate recycling facility or return them to Vertiv in the packing material for the new batteries.

The approximate battery run times for the VERTIV LIEBERT PSA5-1000MT120 (1000 VA / 600 W) are as follows. These times are based on new, fully charged batteries at 25°C (77°F) with a resistive load.
