UPS Modification

[Angga]

I currently have a Liebert PSA700-230 UPS System, and for some reason
I do need to change its output frequency.

1. Are there any possibilities to change the cycle frequency of my UPS
from 60Hz to 50Hz? I'm in Australia and the mains' frequency is 50Hz.

2. The UPS utilize a microcontroller from MicroChip, PIC16C72A-20. Is
it possible to re-program the PIC? I cannot do the programming bit,
but will certainly be able to just flash it, anyway.

Thank you in advance, folks!

Check out their web-site:
http://www.liebert.com/dynamic/displayproduct.asp?ID=1082&cycles=60hz
according to the specs for other models int hat range they are 50/60Hz
auto-sensing. However I doubt that you can make them do 60Hz out for 50Hz
in, that would cause a problem or three if it goes into bypass mode. Is
reprogramming the PIC part of this idea? Frankly, it sounds sorta dangerous,
but have a chat with the local folk at:

Their local folk here in NZ are more than helpful, I can't imagine they're
any different there.

Cheers.
