IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during the installation and
maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or
operate this UPS.
The equipment can be installed and operated by individuals without previous training.
WARNING! Install the UPS indoors in a temperature- and humidity-controlled room, free of
conductive contaminants, moisture, flammable liquids, gases and corrosive substances.
Some components are live, even when AC power is disconnected. For service, contact a
properly trained and qualified technician. Do not remove the cover; the UPS has no
user-serviceable parts inside except the internal battery pack.
Operate the UPS only from a properly grounded (earthed) 220-240 VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz AC
supply. Do not supply this UPS from electrical power systems of the IT type (IEC364-Electrical
Installation of Buildings).
WARNING! Although the UPS has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety,
improper use can result in electrical shock or fire. To ensure safety, observe the following rules:
Turn Off and unplug the UPS before cleaning it. Clean the UPS with a dry cloth. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Do not install or operate the UPS in or near water.
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 anywhere it might be damaged.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Liebert PSI™ XR is a 2U, line-interactive UPS that may be installed in a rack or used as a tower UPS.
Status indicators on the front of the Liebert PSI XR display load level, battery level, buck/boost, site-wiring
fault and battery status. Controls include a combination ON/ Alarm Silence/Manual Self-Diagnostic
button, an Off button and a Display Status Change button.
The Liebert PSI XR has USB, DB-9 (RS-232/contact closure) and SNMP interface ports. The DB-9 and USB
ports provide detailed operating information including voltages, currents, and alarm status to the host
system when used in conjunction with Liebert shutdown software.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Preparation
Inspect the UPS for freight damage. Report any damage to the carrier and your local dealer or Vertiv
representative.
CAUTION: Risk of injury from heavy unit. May cause equipment damage or personal injury.
The UPS and battery cabinets are heavy (see Table 8.1 on page27 and Table 8.2 on page28).
Take proper precautions when lifting or moving either the UPS or battery cabinets.
The Liebert PSI XR may be installed in either a tower or rack configuration. Determine the method that
suits the application and proceed.
Decide where to install the Liebert PSI XR. The UPS must be installed indoors in a controlled environment.
Place it in an area with unrestricted airflow around the unit, away from water, flammable liquids, gases,
corrosives and conductive contaminants (see Figure 3.1 below).
Maintain a minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) in the front and rear of the UPS. Maintain an ambient
temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) (see Figure 3.1 below).
Figure 3.1 Placing the Liebert PSI XR
3.2 Tower UPS Installation
See Figure 3.2 on the next page when using the Liebert PSI XR in a tower configuration.

3.3 Rack-Mount UPS Conversion and Installation
See Figure 3.3 on the facing page when installing the Liebert PSI XR in a rack. External battery cabinets
are installed in racks in the same manner.
Vertiv | Liebert® PSI XR™ User Manual | 10

Figure 3.3 Convert the Liebert PSI XR for rack installation
WARNING! Risk of top-heavy unit falling over. May cause equipment damage, personal injury or
death.Placing heavy equipment near the top of a rack may increase the risk of tipping. Place the
UPS or battery cabinet, if one is being used, in the bottom of the rack.
CAUTION: Risk of strain from lifting heavy equipment. May cause personal injury.Lifting
equipment into rack may be a two-person job, depending on weight of equipment.
NOTICE
When rack-mounted, the UPS must be supported by a shelf, slide rails, brackets or fixed rails on
each side. The rack mount handles WILL NOT support the weight of the UPS. They are used to
move the UPS into and out of the rack.
3.4 Orient Display for Installation
The Liebert PSI XR features a rotating display that may be oriented for either tower or rack installations.
To set the display for your installation, pull out on the display and rotate it until it is oriented correctly,
then press it into the UPS until it is seated.
Vertiv | Liebert® PSI XR™ User Manual | 11

Figure 3.4 Orienting the UPS display
3.5 Charge Batteries and Perform Battery Startup
Before connecting input power or connecting the load, Vertiv recommends these steps:
•Charge the battery for at least 8 hours.
•Start the UPS on battery to ensure the battery is fully functional and charged.
•Turn the unit Off and proceed to Connect Input Power and Load below.
3.6 Connect Input Power and Load
The 1000VA and 1500VA models do not include an input power cable; the 2200VA and 3000VA UPSs
include an input power cable.
Connect input power to the UPS, then plug the equipment into the sockets on the rear of the UPS. These
UPS sockets provide battery backup and surge protection to the equipment when mains power fails,
spikes or sags (see Figure 3.5 on the facing page).
Vertiv | Liebert® PSI XR™ User Manual | 12

Figure 3.5 Connect mains power and load
3.7 Connect Network Surge protection
Connect a 10 base-T/100 network cable to the RJ-45 network surge protection IN jack on the rear of the
UPS. Connect from the OUT jack with network cabling to network equipment (see Figure 3.6 below).
Figure 3.6 Connect network surge protection
Vertiv | Liebert® PSI XR™ User Manual | 13

3.8 Connect Computer Interface Port
Determine what type of communication connection to use to manage the UPS. The Liebert PSI XR can be
monitored with any of these communication methods:
•serial
•contact closure
•USB
•SNMP
See the Liebert shutdown software installation guide on the included CD-ROM for details and installation
information. Also refer to UPS Communications on page24.
Figure 3.7 Connect computer interface port
3.9 Set Up Liebert MultILink Software
To start using Liebert MultiLink (software and user manual available at multilink.liebert.com):
•Install the software.
See the Liebert MultiLink quick-start guide or user manual for installation instructions.
•Connect one end of the USB cable (supplied) to the USB port on the rear of the UPS. Connect
the other end to a USB port on the computer.
See the Liebert MultiLink user manual for operating instructions.
Vertiv recommends connecting the USB cable directly to the computer WITHOUT using a USB hub.
3.10 EPO Switch
The Liebert PSI XR is equipped with an Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch. The user must supply a
means of interfacing with the EPO circuit to allow disconnecting the UPS input feeder breaker to
interrupt all sources of power to the UPS and connected equipment to comply with national and local
wiring codes and regulations.
Vertiv | Liebert® PSI XR™ User Manual | 14

3.11 External Battery Cabinet Installation
Optional Liebert external battery cabinets may be connected to the UPS to provide additional battery
run time. External battery cabinets are designed to be placed all on one side of the UPS or stacked
beneath the UPS. The batteries have a maximum run time of three hours at full load.
1. Shut down any connected equipment and turn Off the UPS.
2. Install the external battery cabinet in a tower configuration or in a rack (see Figure 3.9 below
or Rack-Mount UPS Conversion and Installation on page10).
3. Connect the external battery cabinet cable to the rear of the external battery cabinet, then to
the rear of the UPS (see Figure 3.10 on the next page.
Figure 3.9 Install the external battery cabinet in tower installation
NOTICE
External battery cabinet connectors are color-coded as noted in Table 3.1 on the next page.
Do not try to install external battery cabinets with connectors that are a different color from
the battery connector on the UPS.
