There should be a 'silence alarm' button on the thing. What brand do you have, 
I wish to avoid it!

I'm not at it right now, but I think I can silence the alarm on my APC UPS at 
work via the OS...I know I can silence the big ones in the rack remotely.

There are gadgets, like the Kill-a-watt that will let you monitor the line 
voltage as well.
