Trying to troubleshoot issue with repeated instances of alert "conpensating for high input voltage". Looking at Data log, I see that those alerts seem to come at a time when the Iout value goes from 1.33 to 1.50. I don't know what this means

Iout is the output current, or, the current drawn by the load. Things like fans and light bulbs draw more current when the voltage is higher, so it could just be a consequence of compensation. On the other hand, in areas with poor wiring or where the circuit is at capacity, drawing more current causes the voltage to drop which causes the UPS to boost. For example when my laser printer turns on, it draws a lot of power and my lights flicker because of the voltage drop.

To add one minor note, current is measured in amps so the values you see in the IOut column in the data log are 1.XX amps.
