   Howdy! Ben,   
      
   My UPS does beep when the A.C. power has been OFF for at least a few   
   seconds.   
      
   What I'm seeing is very brief interruptions.   
      
   The UPS makes a Click as soon as the line power goes OFF.   
   I don't even see the light in my room blink when it does this, so I'm   
   thinking that the line power is only OFF for a fraction of a second   
   and returns.   
      
   It runs on Battery Power for a moment and then the sensors in it says   
   the power is restored so it makes another Click when it goes back to   
   Normal.   
      
   I'm thinking it is a Timer Circuit in the UPS that causes the small   
   seperation between the Two Clicks.   
      
   And because the Timer Circuit hasn't Timed Out after 'it sees' the line   
   power is restored so the UPS has to wait until that happens to go back   
   to its normal mode.   
      
   Because of this the UPS hasn't had the 'time' to send a ALARM Signal.   
      
   That's the best I can guess at what is happening.
