This cuts it

[Paul]

Are you in England? 230 volts?

Nope. Canada. 110V or so supply (usually 120V
and my feed is a bit on the high side).

The set if made by "Sharp", and as far as I know,
they are a Japanese company. CH13M10 is the model
and the box says Made In Malaysia.

It surprised me the first time I turned it on. The other
sets I've got, don't use a relay. So it is not a
regulatory requirement.

Yep, the entire system is on one. Long time believer in such. Brand new
battery also.

An ordinary (i.e. cheap) off-line UPS will not solve a problem such as this.
Although they claim to contain a voltage regulator, this only actually
operates when in backup mode. While mains power is available they offer
little protection from voltage glitches and very short duration brown outs.
What you require is an on-line UPS.

Must be old. All later sets do not use a relay. They use a start pulse to
the high voltage transformer.

System is tied into an APC BackUps 600 - online or offline?

No idea. My Internet Access is down. But you can Google it just as well as
I can.
