I gave up on apcupsd for my BackUPS Pro 1000 and switched to nut.  It
works well for me.  

To get it to work, I added the line
UPS myups /var/lib/nut/genericups-ttyS0 genericups -t 9 /dev/ttyS0
to /etc/nut/upsd.conf

and the line
MONITOR myups@localhost 1 [PASSWORD] master
to /etc/nut/upsmon.conf

My BackUPS Pro 1000 doesn't speak APC SmartSignaling so I have to use the
generic type 9 cable.  YMMV.  nut-doc is a good package to have installed.
