This UPS does power our production servers, so shutting things down aren't an easy task, but this weekend might open up some opportunity for that if need be. If I need to test it by unplugging the main power, that I can do without problems.

If you have a chance to build the master branch to test, you can also try the tripplite_0005 branch. I need to dig out the OMNIVS1000 for regression testing, and of course I don't have a SU5000 to test with, but it should work based on the debug information you provided.
