If you have a Inverter style generator. Please do not respond. Do any of you that use a UPS, generally for the dvr. have problems with the built in or portable generators. i did a test recently...

the problem with UPS is frequency sensitivity
they are designed for use with incoming Utility power
which may vary in voltage..but Almost never varies in frequency
I suggest bypassing the UPS when on generator power for home use
when there is a power outage,
with out building your own battery & inverter setup
i doubt you will find a 'cure' for your UPS problem , with out spending more $$ for "line conditioning" of incoming power..whether generator or utility
