INTRODUCTION 

The 

GE (General Electric) VCL Series UPS

, a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply, has been designed to protect 

your  sensitive electronic  equipment  such  as  computers  and  telecommunications  equipment  from  virtually  all  forms  of 
power interference, including complete power failures. 

 

When the mains supply is present and the UPS is switched on, the UPS is charging the battery and providing power to the 
connected  equipment  from  the  AC  line  directly.  In  case  of  a  mains  failure  the  reliable  battery  can  provide  the  stable 
power to complete your work, save the data and safely shut down your system. 

 

Inspect the UPS for damage after unpacking. If any damage is present please immediately notify the carrier and place of 
purchase. 

 

 

 

WARNING!

 In case of recognizable damage: 

DO NOT

 connect any voltage to the unit 

DO NOT

 put the unit into operation.

 

 

Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from a cold to a warm environment. The UPS system must 
be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow an acclimatization time of at least two hours prior to installation. 
Save the original packing material. No liability can be accepted for any transport damage when the equipment is shipped 
in non-original packaging.
