Two used critical power monitoring systems are on the table at the same $49.29 price, and the real question is which one fits your UPS maintenance setup. The MGE UPS Systems unit includes a Square D display, while the other is a MGE / VERIS unit taken from decommissioned equipment. If you manage UPS critical power, you will want a monitor that behaves predictably, so the difference in how these two units were handled before sale matters as much as the model number.
Quick verdict
The MGE UPS Systems unit is the more practical pick for most shoppers because it gives you a visible display and at least one concrete sign that the unit responds. The MGE / VERIS unit is still worth considering, but it carries more uncertainty around its working state.

- MGE / VERIS unit wins when the exact 102553-OA model matters more than testing status.
Product notes
MGE UPS Systems 102198-0F Critical Power Monitoring System w/ Square D Display
This used MGE UPS Systems monitor carries model 102198-0F and includes a Square D display. The system was powered on and its buttons were pressed, which gives you a small but useful signal that it is responsive. The used condition is described with minor scuffs and scratches from a previous mounting, and nothing in that description should affect function. It comes in non-original packaging, and no manuals or cables are included. No further testing was done beyond that power-on and button check. If the Square D display and that basic verification appeal to you, this unit is the one to lean toward.
MGE / VERIS 102553-OA KMGM UPS Systems Critical Power Monitoring System
This used monitor carries model 102553-OA and is identified as a MGE / VERIS KMGM UPS Systems unit. Its reason to choose it is clear: the exact 102553-OA model number is in the title, which can matter when you are matching existing hardware. The limitation is equally clear: the system was removed from decommissioned equipment and has not been tested. It also comes in non-original packaging without manuals or cables. The condition notes mention minor scuffs and scratches that should not affect function. Pick this one if the 102553-OA part number is what you need and you can accept an untested used product.
Final choice by use case
- For a visible display plus a basic response check: choose the MGE UPS Systems 102198-0F. The response check makes it an easier recommendation.
- For a specific model match: choose the MGE / VERIS 102553-OA if that exact designation is what your UPS setup requires.
