Emerson Announces Enhancements To Liebert UPS Units

Emerson Network Power announced the availability of enhanced Liebert PSA and Liebert PSI-XR UPS units designed to provide reliable power protection for home offices and small data centers or IT rooms. The Liebert PSA and Liebert PSI-XR also meet strict environmental guidelines by complying with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). RoHS prohibits the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of electronics, making them more environmentally friendly at the end of their life.

The Liebert PSI-XR is best suited for IT applications housed in network closets, IT rooms and small data centers. It provides more than five minutes of battery backup at full load with optional external battery cabinets that can extend that runtime to meet equipment needs. In addition, its improved remote communications and shutdown options provide remote monitoring and power management. The Liebert PSI-XR is available in rack-mounted or tower configurations and can be configured at 110, 120 or 127Vac with a wide range of output capacities.

The Liebert PSA delivers power protection to small office computers and electronic equipment, providing up to five minutes of battery backup at full load, full sequenced battery testing, and advanced shutdown, surge protection and status monitoring. It is available with various output capacities in both 120 and 230Vac models.

"Businesses who choose to make power protection a priority with the Liebert PSA and Liebert PSI-XR get an affordable, line-interactive UPS system that eliminates unnecessary reboots and transfers to battery power, extends battery life and ensures greater availability of common IT applications such as desktop computers, professional workstations and other sensitive electronics."
