Unfortunately, I don't think we have an example of the full set of data for the 
su700 UPS mentioned there. The only use of this in recent history seems to be 
in nutdrv_qx (search for dstate_addrange()).

The way I read the protocol document, though, the gap seems intentional. 
Otherwise, a single range from 90 to 105 could have been used. I suspect this 
was intended for cases where the low voltage is relative to a 110/220V setting 
(e.g. you can't set the low voltage to be something in the middle like 150V). I 
admit this sounds contrived; however, the NUT code seems to support multiple 
discontinuous ranges as shown in that example.

Here is a real-world example of a single range per variable:

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut-ddl/blob/master/INELT/INELT__Monolith_E1000LT-12V__nutdrv-qx__2.7.4__01.dev#L72

This would probably yield:

BEGIN LIST RANGE inelt input.transfer.low
RANGE inelt input.transfer.low "40" "47"
END LIST RANGE inelt input.transfer.low
