What did you mean by "load.on.delay"?

Thanks for this extra info.

load.on.delay - Turn on the load with a delay (seconds)

----

ups.timer.shutdown: 0
ups.timer.start: 0

are my upsc values. I'll have to pay more attention to those next time I 
test.

Alright, but... how does this command work? Once it has been executed, 
will the UPS wait the specified period before turning the load on 
whenever main power is back?

Can you change these values in your UPS's?
