Description

Vertiv PST5-500MT120 Battery Backup

Overview

The Vertiv PST5-500MT120 is a 500VA, 300W Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) designed to provide essential battery backup for sensitive electronic equipment. This unit is ideal for protecting network switches, small NVRs, or critical cameras during short power outages or voltage fluctuations, ensuring continuous operation and preventing data loss. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for deployment in tight spaces within server racks or network closets.

Compatibility

This UPS is compatible with standard network devices requiring up to 300W of power. It is suitable for use with most commercial-grade IP cameras, network switches, and small NVRs that do not exceed its power output. Specifically, it can support devices such as the Axis M30 series, Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE, and Hikvision NVR models that fall within the 300W limit. Always verify the total power draw of your connected equipment against the PST5-500MT120's capacity.

Installation Notes

The PST5-500MT120 operates on standard 120V AC input and provides simulated sine wave output when on battery power. Ensure the unit is placed on a stable surface and has adequate ventilation. Connect your critical equipment to the battery-backed outlets. The unit requires connection to a grounded AC power source. For optimal battery life, avoid prolonged operation on battery power and replace batteries as recommended by the manufacturer.
