Can rebooting Devialet everyday be harmful ?

The nominal voltage is 230V ac 50Hz but oscillates from 190V to 265V and several times a day, there are outages hence alternative source is a diesel generator during the outage period. To protect my audio gear, I use an Eaton Corp. 5 kVA online UPS that locks my output voltage to 230V and freq to 50 Hz. Every time I wish to listen to my system, I'd switch-on the UPS to provide clean power and once I am done I would turn off the UPS.   

After replacing the Devialet Stock powercords with Synergistic Research Atmosphere for Devialet powercords recently, I find that every time I switch-on the UPS, the Devialets would perform a full reboot, i.e. install software, request a reset & then return to Standby. [ With the Devialet stock powercords, this never used to occur. It would always be on Standby whenever the UPS was switched-on ]. 

I am wondering if repeated reboots would harm the Devialets esp. if done practically on a daily basis. 

( I wrote to Devialet Support but they couldn't answer it correctly or offer any suggestions probably as they didn't understand

Any thoughts on this ... ?

Hi audio_engr, you use an automatic switching device for the unit and what are the criteria voltage and frequency or only voltage? Best would be a sketch how the devices (UPS, generator) are wired!
