This parameter can't be just anything--it needs to be the name of the nut 
driver that handles your UPS.  I don't see Powermate listed in the README 
in /usr/share/nut-*/ and I don't see it in the compatibility list at 
http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/.  So you need to figure out if 
the protocol used by your Powermate is compatible with any of the listed 
devices.  If so, use that driver.  If not, try MODEL=genericups and see if 
that gets you anywhere.
