Google found me this link sola-heavy-duty.com which is a spam-infested mess
and NOT Sola's site. Thanks for the correct link.

Too costly. I bought the UPS as a refurbished unit. I'm shopping for a used
CVS on Ebay. I have hundreds of dollars to spend on this, not $30,000+ for a
reengineered solution.

My testing has verified that our problem is not generator frequency, but
harmonics. The UPS sensitivity can be lowered, but then when it switched,
several computers on the network reboot. Only in the High sensitivity
position does the APC UPS switch fast enough to avoid rebooting computers on
the network. Although on the setting below High sensitivity, the UPS is
happy on generator power. Only problem is we have stuff rebooting when it
cuts over.
Hence, we must run in the high sensitivity mode of the UPS and clean up the
input power with the Sola CVS.
