Yes, See the User Manual http://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.pdf 
chapter 6.3 "Configuring automatic shutdowns for low battery events".

The NUT documentation is not always clear, and it looks as if the Synology 
is even less clear.  You must distinguish carefully between "system 
shutdown" and "(delayed) UPS shutdown".  The UPS is turned off _after_ the 
system.  There is a delay between the moment the upsdrvctl shutdown 
command is given and the moment the UPS shuts down.  The default is 20 
seconds, but you may have to increase this.

I understand from 
https://tellini.info/2014/09/connecting-a-synology-diskstation-to-a-nut-server/ 
that the NUT configuration is hard coded into the NAS, and I suspect that 
the configuration is more or less broken.

You will need the utility programs upsrw and upscom which are part of NUT, 
but they should be available in the Mac.
