Have you tried sending the same command a couple of times? Some UPS'es
will translate the delay time to a number of 'ticks'. A tick may be tens
of seconds, which means that you'll get an uncertainty in the actual delay
depending both on the rounding to the timer ticks and the time when you
send the command. For instance, a UPS that uses a tick of 32 seconds, may
round any delay between 1 and 32 seconds to 1 tick and the actual delay
can be anything between 0 and 32 seconds (depening on how long it takes
for the next tick).
