It is possible that the auto power detect section has gone faulty and is switching in this shunting manner because of an error in the line detect section. The op amp is detecting a low voltage to switch on and doing so it goes back to power. This can be due to a frequency problem in the AC generator and so If you switch off the generator the fault must stop.
If so have the generator checked for frequency change or the UPS has a circuit error. Try to set the AC voltage of the generator up to the required level if there is a drop on load.

APC Smart VT 30KVA UPS cannot sustain power after power failure

ups units run a computer directly from mains power and from a battery when mains power is cut.
some run the computer through the battery at all times and so use the battery as a surge protection
points to check on your unit
is the by pass system being damaged in the surge protection section
is this requiring the batteries to provide power but not being charged at the same time
Is the power consumption exceeding the battery rating ( pc, printer, monitor , modem etc exceeding the out put of the ups

Apc beeping twice every 2 seconds

The battery inside the APC is "weak", and the "beep" is telling you to replace the battery inside the APC, or, maybe cheaper, to buy a new APC.

Did you run this test without AC input?
Also what happens when you cut off the AC mains without any load connected to it? Will the UPS continue to run or does it switch off as well?

Contact APC Customer Service. They will help you resolve this. If unit is still under warranty they will replace it. There is nothing you can do to repair anything yourself. Sorry ... try calling 1-800-555-2725800-555-2725 for support from APC

Apc ups legwerkin

Your Generator is not supplying a clean enough AC voltage and the UPS is unable to handle it.

Some Gennies supplies are very rough especially the cheaper end of the market.

The likes of Honda do conform to as near to cable fed mains as you can get.

You may be able to get a filter which will smooth out the ripple effect on the Gennies supply so you would power the UPS from the filter and the filter from the Gennie
