But be warned, it may not always be loaded as the same usb device depending on other usb devices being plugged or unplugged. You will probably have to write a rule for your ups. Take a look at the man page for udev and examine the existing rules in /etc/udev/rules/d to get the idea. It would be a good idea to create a "file" under /dev, sav /dev/ups, and put a symlink pointing to it in the rule.
