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. Switching “Off” the UPS
For all but the GES-102VR:
Press and hold the On / Off / Test / Silence Button for more than 3
seconds, or until the Line Normal or Back-Up LED turns off.
For the GES-102VR:
Turn the Main Power toggle switch to the “Off” position.
4.3. Self-Test
Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition
of the battery. When normal utility power is present, push the On / Off /
Test / Silence (Test / Silence for GES-102VR) Button for less than 1
second. During the self-test, the UPS operates in back-up mode.
During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads with battery
power (the LED flashes every 2 seconds). If the UPS passes the self-
test, it returns to on-line operation. The LED stops flashing and the
LED remains on. If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns
to on-line operation. The loads are unaffected when performing a
self-test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test
again. If the UPS still fails a self-test, ask our nearest dealer to
replace the battery.
4.4. Silence the Alarm
In Back Up mode, push On / Off / Test / Silence (Test / Silence for GES-
102VR) Button for less than 1 second to silence the audible alarm. (This
function will not work when the UPS is in "LOW BATTERY" or
"OVERLOAD" condition.)
4.5. Cold Start
When the UPS is off and there is no utility power, use the cold start
feature to apply power to the loads from the UPS's battery. Press the ON
/ TEST button (see Front Panel section for location of the indicator) until
the UPS beeps.
