Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions for the GES-801V, GES-102V, GES-102VR, GES-152V, GES-152VR, GES-222V, GES-222VR and should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. The UPS contains voltages that are potentially hazardous. Please contact our dealers or qualified personnel for service.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. The UPS has its own internal energy source (battery), therefore the output receptacles may have electricity present even though the UPS is disconnected from the utility power. 2. The DC voltage provided from the internal battery is 24Vdc for 801V, 102V, 152V, 102VR, 152VR. 48Vdc for 222V, 222VR. 3. The isolated ground wire (green or green with yellow stripe) must meet national wire requirements. 4.

Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 1. INTRODUCTION The V-Series is a Line Interactive UPS system that includes the newest and latest technology enhancements. The Line Interactive technology with AVR function (online voltage boost-up & buck-down) allows for a wide input voltage range of 90 to 150VAC. The V-Series UPS is ideal protection for microprocessor control loads. After the UPS has been turned “On” it will protect the load from transients, spikes and other power aberrations.

COMPUTER INTERFACE Both RS-232 and relay signal (Dry Contact) Interfaces are supplied to support WINDOWS, NOVELL, UNIX, DOS, and other operating systems.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 3. INSTALLATION 3.1. Unpacking and Inspection Examine the packaging for damage. Inform the carrier immediately if damage is noticed. Retain the packaging for future use. 3.2. Placement Install the UPS in a protected area with adequate airflow and free of excessive dust. Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity is outside the specified limits. 3.3.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 3.7. Connecting the Telephone / Modem / Ethernet Lines (Optional) Connect a telephone line, modem line, or 10BaseT line into the telephone / modem / ethernet surge protection sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ-45 / RJ-11 modular sockets accept standard single line telephone connections and 10BaseT connectors. This connection will require another length of cable. This is optional; UPS will work properly without this connection.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 4. OPERATION 4.1. Switching “On” the UPS For all but the GES-102VR: With the UPS plugged in and utility power present, press and hold the On / Off / Test / Silence Button more than 3 seconds or until the LED is lit. The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is switched “On”. For the GES-102VR: With the UPS plugged in and utility power present, turn the Main Power toggle switch to the “On” position. The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is switched “On”. 4.2.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 4.6. Shutdown Mode In shutdown mode the UPS stops supplying power to the load and waits for the return of utility power. If there is no utility power present, external devices (e.g., servers) connected to the computer interface can command the UPS to shutdown. This is normally done to preserve battery capacity after the graceful shutdown of protected servers. 4.7.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 5. 6. AUDIBLE ALARM 5.1. Back-Up (Slow Alarm) When in back-up mode, the LED flashes every 2 seconds and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to line normal operation. Press the On / Off / Test / Silence Button during backup mode to silence the beeping. 5.2. Low Battery (Rapid Alarm) In back-up mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts down from battery exhaustion or returns to line normal operation.
Always “On” UPS Systems Inc. 6.3. Computer Interface Port The communication port on the back of the UPS may be connected to a host computer. This port allows the computer to monitor the status of the UPS and control the operation of the UPS. Its major functions include the following: 1. The ability to broadcast a warning when the power fails. 2. The ability to close any open files before the battery reserves are exhausted. 3. The ability to turn off the UPS. 4.
