Some of APC's UPS units allow you to set the voltage sensitivity via dip
switches, some of the units allow you to set it via software, and some
don't let you adjust the sensitivity. So if you plan to back up your
battery powered UPS with an external generator, make sure to get a UPS
with an adjustment for voltage sensitivity.
But then you're stepping out of the realm of SOHO UPSs, no?

Perhaps. But depends on where you live and how often you experience power
outages. I live in the Northeast of the US, and we have power outages
frequently, lasting anywhere from 30 min to 48 hrs. So having a backup
generator to keep the pipes from freezing and a few lights on is pretty

Isn't it obvious that God did not design people to live where their
peckers might freeze off? Move south to God's Country!

common. Dedicating one circuit to a computer or two doesn't draw too many
amps on the overall load so why not? So if you live in a place that has
frequent power outages, and you're in the market for a battery operated UPS,
why not get one with an ability to set voltage sensitivity just in case you
eventually add in an external generator.
