SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for the GES-801L, GES-102L, GES-152L, GES-202L,
GES-302L 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.
Servicing of the batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable with batteries
and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
When replacing batteries, replace with the same model number, type and rating.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.
It may be toxic.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The
following precautions should be observed when working on or with the batteries.
− Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
− Use tools with insulated handles.
− Wear rubber gloves and boots.
− Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
− Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
− Determine if the batteries are inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source of
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock. The likelihood of a
shock will be reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to a UPS
and a remote battery supply not having a grounded supply circuit).
CAUTION: To ensure the safety and performance of the UPS, never load the UPS with a hair dryer,
heater, laser printer, Surge protector or other types of inductive loads.

Introduction
The L-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 L-Series UPS is the ideal protection for microprocessor controlled
loads. With the utility power connected, the charger begins to operate immediately,
charging the battery. In the event of a blackout (or severe brownout) the UPS will
automatically switch to back-up mode and maintain power to the load until the
software shuts down the system and/or when the battery reaches a low voltage state.
The Low Battery indicator will turn “On” if and when the battery needs replacement.
Also included, with our UPS systems, is a cyclic self-testing function to verify both
the operation of the UPS and the condition of the battery.
In addition, the L-Series UPS provides advanced telephone line and Ethernet surge
suppression through the modular connectors on the back panel.
The Line Interactive UPS in conjunction with our monitoring software makes your
UPS operate intelligently and provides you with total protection for all your loads.
Note: Interference to radio/TV might occur in a particular installation. If this UPS
causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the UPS off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of following measures:
1. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Reorientate the receiving antenna.

Safety Instructions
The UPS has its own internal energy source (batteries), therefore the output receptacles may
have electricity present even though the UPS is disconnected from the utility power.
The DC voltage provided from the internal batteries are as follows:
a) GES-801L 24VDC d) GES-202L 48VDC
b) GES-102L 24VDC e) GES-302L 48VDC
c) GES-152L 36VDC
Isolated Ground Wire refers to the bare wire connecting electrical equipment to ground. The
isolated ground wire (green or green with yellow stripe) must meet national wire requirements.
The power plug to connect with the UPS has to be equipped with a ground plug.
The batteries must be replaced or serviced by qualified, knowledgeable, personnel.
Replacement batteries must be the same type, quantity and configuration as the originals.
To avoid explosions, keep open flame and other heat emitting sources away from batteries.
Do not disassemble or damage the batteries. The electrolyte is toxic and especially harmful to
the eyes and skin.
The batteries contain high voltages and currents that are dangerous. To maintain secure
operation and performance of the UPS, the user must exercise basic and regular maintenance.
Please follow the precautions below:
1. Do not remove the UPS cover unless authorized by factory. Removing the cover will void
the warranty.
2. The UPS can only be connected to a 2-pole/3 wire plug.
3. Do not install the UPS in an environment with excessive humidity.
4. Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to get inside the UPS.
5. Allow for air circulation through the UPS. A minimum clearance of 10 cm is required on all
sides.
6. Do not load the UPS with appliances such as a hair dryer, heater, vacuum, kettle, etc.
7. Keep the UPS away from direct sunlight and heat-emitting sources.
8. Install the UPS as close as possible to the load for maximum protection.
9. Storage Requirements
a. Recharge the UPS batteries every 6 months for no less than 8 hours at a time.
b. Under a high ambient temperature environment, recharge the UPS batteries every 3
months for no less than 8 hours at a time
10. High Voltage Risk:
a. High voltages might exist between the battery terminal and the grounding system, if the
battery circuit has not been disconnected from the UPS circuit. Please check this voltage
before connecting.
b. Disconnect the battery wires before proceeding with maintenance. High voltages may be
present between the UPS internal components and batteries even after the input power is
disconnected.

Presentation
Front Panel
1. POWER bar graph (BATTERY CHARGE/LINE VOLTAGE)
This displays the present battery charge as a percentage of battery capacity. It also displays
the utility line voltage.
2. LOAD bar graph
This displays the amount of power required by the load as a percentage.
3. "OVERLOAD" indicator (RED LED)
This LED lights when the load(s) connected to the UPS exceed the UPS's capacity. See
Section 6.3 for solution to this problem.
4. "BUCK AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation)" indicator (YELLOW LED)
This LED illuminates when the UPS is correcting for a high utility voltage condition. The
load(s) receive normal 120VAC power.
5. "ON/TEST" button
With the UPS plugged in, press the ON/TEST button to turn on the UPS and power the loads.
ON/TEST also activates the UPS's self-test and utility line voltage displays.
6. "LINE NORMAL" indicator (GREEN LED)
This LED illuminates when the line input voltage is normal.
7. "OFF" button
Press the OFF button to turn off the UPS and the load(s).
8. "BACK UP" indicator (GREEN LED)
This LED illuminates when the UPS is supplying battery power to the loads.
9. "BOOST AVR (VOLTAGE BOOST)" indicator (YELLOW LED)
The LED illuminates when the UPS is correcting for a low utility voltage condition. The
load(s) receive normal power.
10. "REPLACE BATTERY" indicator (RED LED)
This LED illuminates when the UPS's batteries are no longer useful and must be replaced.
Note: When replacing the batteries, disconnect the utility power then open the case. Take
notice of the polarity before installing the new batteries to avoid a short.
