    RZPsc is an isolated high-latitude post-T Tauri star that demonstrates a UX Ori-type photometric activity. The star shows very weak spectroscopic signatures of accretion, but at the same time possesses the unusual footprints of the wind in NaiDlines. In the present work we investigate new spectroscopic observations of RZPsc obtained in 2014 during two observation runs. We found variable blueshifted absorption components (BACs) in lines of the other alcali metals, Ki 7699 A and Caii IR triplet. We also confirmed the presence of a weak emission component in the H alpha line, which allowed us to estimate the mass accretion rate on the star as M< or = 7 x 10 super(-12)M sub(middo t in circle)yr super(-1). We could not reveal any clear periodicity in the appearance of BACs in sodium lines. Nevertheless, the exact coincidence of the structure and velocities of the Nai D absorptions observed with the interval of about one year suggests that such a periodicity should exist.
