  Within the frame­work of the LHC In­jec­tor Up­grade (LIU) pro­ject, the fea­si­bil­ity and de­sign of an up­grade of the ex­ist­ing CERN PS pro­ton in­jec­tion kicker sys­tem have been out­lined in pre­vi­ous pub­li­ca­tions al­ready. This paper de­scribes the ad­just­ments of final de­sign choices, test­ing, and de­ploy­ment as well as the val­i­da­tion and com­mis­sion­ing of the new 2 GeV in­jec­tion kicker sys­tem. The up­grade pays par­tic­u­lar at­ten­tion to the re­duc­tion of pulse re­flec­tions un­avoid­ably in­duced by a mag­net in short cir­cuit mode con­fig­u­ra­tion whilst keep­ing a fast 104 ns rise and fall time. An adapted thyra­tron trig­ger­ing sys­tem to re­duce jit­ter and en­hance thyra­tron life­time is out­lined. Ad­di­tion­ally, im­prove­ments to the mag­net entry box and the elim­i­na­tion of SF6 gas in the mag­net con­nec­tion box and the as­so­ci­ated pulse trans­mis­sion lines are dis­cussed.
