	My BackUPS RS 500 works fine using those and a empty "DEVICE" field.
	It is possible this is a new/redesigned model that Apcupsd does
not handle correctly.  (APC is famous for not having a consistant
interface, even model lines.)  If so, you should post to the apcupsd
mailing list where these kind of things get prompt attention.
