2.1.1
Room Preparation
The room should be well insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the ceiling and walls can be a polyethylene film. Paint on concrete walls and floors should contain either rubber or plastic.
NOTE
The single most important requirement for maintaining environmental control in the conditioned room is the vapor barrier.
Outside or fresh air should be kept to a minimum when tight temperature and humidity control is required. Outside air adds to the cooling, heating, dehumidifying and humidifying loads of the site.
Doors should be properly sealed to minimize leaks and should not contain ventilation grilles.

Location Considerations
!
CAUTION
Units contain water. Water leaks can cause damage to sensitive equipment below. DO
NOT MOUNT UNITS OVER SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT. A field supplied pan with drain must be installed beneath cooling units and water/glycol cooled condensing unit.
NOTE
Do NOT mount units in areas where normal unit operating sound may disturb the working environment.
Locate the evaporator unit over an unobstructed floor space if possible. This will allow easy access for routine maintenance or service. Do not attach additional devices (such as smoke detectors, etc.) to the housing, as they could interfere with the maintenance or service.
NOTE
Temperature and humidity sensors are located in the wall box. Carefully select a position for the box where discharge air DOES NOT directly blow on the sensors.

Installing the Ceiling Units
!
WARNING
Be sure the supporting roof structure is capable of supporting the weight of the unit(s) and the
accessories during installation and service. (See 2.2 - System Weights.)
Be sure to securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods. make sure all nuts are tight.
The evaporator unit and indoor condensing unit are usually mounted above the ceiling and must be securely mounted to the roof structure. The ceiling and ceiling supports of existing buildings may require reinforcements. Be sure to follow all applicable codes. Use field-supplied threaded suspension rods and 3/8"–16 factory hardware kit.
Recommended clearance between ceiling grids and building structural members is unit height plus three inches.
Install the four field-supplied rods by suspending them from suitable building structural members.
Locate the rods so that they will align with the four mounting holes in the flanges that are part of the unit base.
Using a suitable lifting device, raise the unit up and pass the threaded rods through the four mounting holes in the flanges that are part of the unit base.
Attach the threaded rods to the unit flanges using the supplied nuts and grommets (see Figure 5).
The rubber grommets provide vibration isolation.
1. Use the plain nuts to hold unit in place. Adjust these nuts so that the weight of the unit is supported evenly by the four rods, does not rest on the ceiling grid and is level.
NOTE
The units must be level in order to drain condensate properly.
2. Use the Nylock nuts to “jam” the plain nuts.
2.4.1
Close Coupled Installations
If the evaporator and condensing units are to be mounted side-to-side (close coupled), hang each unit
before connecting them together (see Figure 7). Align bolt holes in the condensing unit and in the
evaporator. Insert rubber spacers and secure four (4) sets of hardware provided. Align the refrigerant
connections and tighten them as described in 2.4.3 - Piping Connections and Coolant Require-
2.4.2
Evaporator Air Distribution
Filter Box
The optional filter box mounts directly to the return air opening of the evaporator. The filter box is supplied with two (2) 20% (Liebert part # 1A19647P1) or 30% (Liebert part # 128161P3) 20 in. x 20 in. x 4 in filters.
NOTE
Do not operate the unit without filters installed in return air system.
Connections for Ducted Systems
Use flexible duct work or non-flammable cloth collars to attach duct work to the unit and to help control the transmission of vibrations to building structures. Insulation of duct work is vital to prevent condensation during the cooling cycle. The use of a vapor barrier is required to prevent absorption of moisture from the surrounding air into the insulation.
6
Site Preparation and Installation
If the return air duct is short or if noise is likely to be a problem, sound-absorbing insulation should be used inside the duct. Duct work should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local and national codes.

Piping Connections and Coolant Requirements
Drain Line
!
CAUTION
The drain line must not be trapped outside the unit or water may back up in drain pan. Drain is internally trapped.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other suitable material for the drain line.
A 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) female pipe thread (FPT) connection is provided for the evaporator coil condensate drain. This line also drains the humidifier, if applicable. The drain line must be located so it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. The drain should be the full size of the drain connection.
The evaporator drain pan includes a float switch to prevent unit operation if drain becomes blocked.
The optional condensate pump kit is required when the evaporator is installed below the level of the gravity-fed drain line.
Humidifier Water Supply Line
Units supplied with the optional humidifier package have a 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) FPT connection for water inlet. Supply pressure range is 10 psig to 150 psig. Required flow rate is 1 gpm. A shut-off valve should be installed in this line to isolate the humidifier for maintenance.
NOTE
Do NOT route humidifier supply line in front of filter box access panel.
Chilled Water Piping—On chilled water units install manual service shut-off valves at the supply and return lines of each unit. These shut-off valves are used for routine service or emergency isolation of the unit.
Chilled water supply and return lines must be insulated. Insulating them will prevent condensation of the water supply and return lines to the unit.
The minimum recommended water temperature is 42°F. Connection sizes are 1 in. (25.4 mm) FPT.
7
Site Preparation and Installation
Water/Glycol Piping—Water and Glycol cooled systems require coolant loop connections as specified in the condensing unit installation instructions.
Refrigerant (R-22) Piping—All split systems require two refrigerant lines (an insulated copper suction line and a copper liquid line) between the evaporator and the condensing unit.
Two possible methods exist for installing the copper suction and liquid lines.
• Close coupling the units together using the quick connects. (See Figure 7).
• Using an optional Sweat Adapter Kit and hard piping between the two units.
All refrigeration piping should be installed with high temperature brazed joints. Prevailing good refrigeration practices should be employed for piping supports, leak testing, evacuation, dehydration and charging of the refrigeration circuits. The refrigeration piping should be isolated from the building by the use of vibration isolating supports. To prevent tube damage when sealing openings in walls and to reduce vibration transmission, use a soft flexible material to pack around the tubes.
When installing remote condensing units above the evaporator, the suction gas line should be trapped at the evaporator. This trap will retain refrigerant oil in the off cycle. When the unit starts, oil in the trap is carried up the vertical riser and returns to the compressor.

Site Preparation and Installation
Quick Connect Fittings
NOTE
When hard piping is used, complete all piping and evacuate lines before connecting quick connects.
Be especially careful when connecting the quick connect fittings. Read through the following steps before making the connections.
1. Remove protector caps and plugs.
2. Carefully wipe coupling seats and threaded surfaces with a clean cloth.
3. Lubricate the male diaphragm and synthetic rubber seal with refrigerant oil.
4. Thread the coupling halves together by hand to insure that the threads mate properly.
5. Tighten the coupling body hex nut and union nut with the proper size wrench until the coupling bodies “bottom out” or until a definite resistance is felt.
6. Using a marker or pen, make a line lengthwise from the coupling union nut to the bulkhead.
7. Tighten the nuts an additional quarter-turn; the misalignment of the lines shows how much the coupling has been tightened. This final quarter-turn is necessary to insure that the joint will not
leak. Refer to Table 9 for torque requirements.

Electrical Connections
Each unit is shipped from the factory with internal wiring completed. Refer to electrical schematic when making connections. Electrical connections to be made at the installation site are:
• Power supply to each ceiling unit.
!
WARNING
Unit contains hazardous electrical voltage. disconnect power supply before working within. line side of factory disconnect remains energized when disconnect is off.
!
WARNING
Unit contains hazardous electrical voltage. More than one disconnect may be required to remove power. evaporator and condensing units may have separate disconnects. Open all disconnects before working within.
• Control wiring between the evaporator unit and the condensing unit, if applicable.
• Control wiring between the control panel (wallbox) and the evaporator unit control board.
Power Connections
All power and control wiring and ground connections must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. Refer to Unit serial tag data for electrical requirements.
!
CAUTION
Use copper wiring only. Make sure that all connections are tight.
Voltage supplied must agree with the voltage specified on the unit serial tag. If a field supplied disconnect switch is required, it may be bolted to the ceiling unit, but not to any of the removable panels.
This would interfere with access to the unit. Make sure that no refrigerant lines are punctured when mounting the disconnect switch.
Route the electrical service conduit through the hole provided in the cabinet and terminate it at the electric box. Make connections at the factory terminal block or disconnect switch, L1, L2, L3. Connect earth ground to lug provided. See transformer label for primary tap connections. Installer will need to change transformer primary taps if applied unit voltage is other than pre-wired tap voltage.
An optional single point power kit is available for units that are close coupled (See 2.4.3 - Piping
Connections and Coolant Requirements). This kit should be mounted inside the condensing unit
before installing the unit in the ceiling. Specific installation instructions are included with the single point power kit.
Control Connections
A field-supplied, 3- or 4-wire control connection (24 VAC) is required between the evaporator and the condensing unit. Control wiring must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) Class 2 circuit. Glycol cooled units also require a two-wire control connection to the drycooler and pump. A Class 1 circuit is required for Water/Glycol units.
Control wiring between the evaporator and the condensing unit must not allow a voltage drop in the line of more than 1 volt (16 gauge minimum for 75 feet). Do not connect additional electrical devices to the control circuit. The circuit breaker, contained in the transformer housing, is sized only for the factory-supplied control system.
Additional control wiring will be required if your system includes other optional monitoring and control devices.
Four (4) wire (thermostat type) must be connected between the evaporator control board and the wall

Indoor Air Cooled Centrifugal Fan Condensing Unit Installation
2.5.1
Location Considerations
The centrifugal fan air cooled condensing unit may be located above the dropped ceiling or any remote indoor area. If noise is of concern, the condensing unit should be located away from personnel. Normal operating sound may be objectionable if the condensing unit is placed near quiet work areas.
To mount the unit in the ceiling, refer to 2.4 - Installing the Ceiling Units.
2.5.2
Electrical Connections
Refer to 2.4.4 - Electrical Connections for general wiring requirements and cautions. Refer to elec-
trical schematic when making connections. Refer to unit serial tag for full load amp and wire size amp ratings.
Power Connections
The condensing unit requires its own power source and earth ground, with a disconnect switch to isolate the unit for maintenance.
NOTE
Refer to serial tag for full load amp and wire size amp ratings
Control Connections
Field-supplied control wires must be connected between the evaporator and the condensing unit (See
Figure 6 and Figure 9) and the electrical schematic on the units for more details.) Three (3) wires
are required between the evaporator and condensing unit. A fourth wire is required on systems with hot gas bypass.
2.5.3
Piping Connections
Details for Refrigerant (R-22) Loop piping are in 2.4.3 - Piping Connections and Coolant
2.5.4
Ducting
Fan operation is designed for 3300 CFM (560 CMH) at 0.5" external static pressure.
General Considerations
Use flexible ductwork or nonflammable cloth collars to attach ductwork to the unit and to control vibration transmission to the building. Attach the ductwork to the unit using the flanges provided.
Locate the unit and ductwork so that the discharge air does not short circuit to the return air inlet.
Ductwork that runs through a conditioned space or is exposed to areas where condensation may occur must be insulated. Ductwork should be suspended using flexible hangers. Ductwork should not be fastened directly to the building structure.
For multiple unit installations, space the units so that the hot condensing unit exhaust air is not directed toward the air inlet of an adjacent unit.
Considerations for Specific Applications
In applications where the ceiling plenum is used as the heat rejection domain, the discharge air must be directed away from the condensing unit air inlet and a screen must be added to the end of the discharge duct to protect service personnel. Locate the air discharge a minimum of 4 feet from an adjacent wall. Failure to do so may result in reduced air flow and poor system performance.
If the condensing unit draws air from the outside of the building, rain hoods must be installed. Hood intake dimensions should be the same as the condensing unit duct dimensions. In addition, install a triple layer bird screen over rain hood openings to eliminate the possibility of insects, birds, water or debris entering the unit. Avoid directing the hot exhaust air toward adjacent doors or windows.

Outdoor Air Cooled Condensing Unit Installation
2.6.1
Location Considerations
To insure a satisfactory air supply, locate air cooled propeller fan condensing units in an environment providing clean air, away from loose dirt and foreign matter that may clog the coil. Condensing units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts or closer than 18 inches from a wall, obstruction or adjacent unit. Avoid areas where heavy snow will accumulate at air inlet and discharge locations.
The condensing unit should be located for maximum security and maintenance accessibility. Avoid ground-level sites with public access.
Install a solid base, capable of supporting the weight of the condensing unit. The base should be at least
2 inches higher than the surrounding grade and 2 inches larger than the dimensions of the condensing unit base. For snowy areas, a base of sufficient height to clear snow accumulation must be installed.

Site Preparation and Installation
2.7.3
Piping Connections
Details for Refrigerant (R-22) Loop piping are in 2.4.3 - Piping Connections and Coolant
Water/Glycol Piping Considerations
Manual service shut-off valves must be installed at the supply and return line to each unit. This enables routine service and/or emergency isolation of the unit. When the condensing unit fluid quality is poor, filters that can be easily serviced should be placed in the supply line. These filters extend the service life of the condensing unit.
Condensing Unit Fluid Requirements
The maximum fluid pressure is 150 PSI standard pressure and 350 PSI for high pressure units (Refer to unit serial tag and model number description page at beginning of this manual).
Automotive antifreeze must not be used in glycol systems. Prepare glycol solution using customary practices.
Regulating Valve
Water/Glycol cooled units include a coolant flow regulating valve that is factory-adjusted and should not need field adjustment.
Standard pressure and high pressure valves are adjusted differently. Contact Liebert Global Services before making any adjustments.

Free-Cooling Coil
The free-cooling coil is a secondary coil located downstream of the DX coil. The free-coiling coil does not operate at the same time as the DX coil. A temperature sensor is factory-mounted to the free-cooling piping. If the water temperature is less than the set temperature (usually 45°F [7.2°C]), the 3-way valve opens to allow chilled water flow to the free-cooling coil and the compressor is locked off. If the water temperature is above the set temperature, the 3-way valve closes (bypasses) and enables the compressor. To keep deposits from building up in the free-cooling coil, an adjustable timer is factoryset to flush every 400 minutes.
NOTE
If the free-cooling coil is piped to an open water tower, a CU/NI (cupro-nickel) type coil must be ordered to prevent corrosion of the copper tubes; or a heat exchanger must separate the tower water from the free-cooling loop.
On water-cooled systems, the free-cooling coil outlet can be field piped to the condensing unit inlet, provided a 3-way regulating valve has been installed within the water/glycol condensing unit (see figure).

The operator may select either relative (direct) or absolute (predictive) humidity control. If “relative” is selected, the RH control is taken directly from the RH sensor. If “absolute” is selected, the RH control is automatically adjusted whenever return air temperature deviates from the desired temperature setpoint (i.e., predictive humidity control). The LCD display will indicate percentage relative humidity for both methods of control. If the “absolute” feature is selected, the adjusted humidity reading will also be shown. When utilizing the predictive humidity control feature, the humidity level is automatically adjusted ~2% RH for each degree difference between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint.
Unnecessary dehumidification can result when overcooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle.
This is due to a higher than normal RH reading caused by overcooling the room (about 2% RH for each degree of overcooling). This drop in temperature extends the dehumidification cycle. Later, when the dehumidification ends and the temperature rises to the setpoint, the RH reading falls. The final
RH reading will then be lower than actually desired. If the temperature drop was significant enough, the percentage RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier.
If the absolute humidity control is selected, over-dehumidification may be avoided. When overcooling occurs (i.e., causing an increase in the RH reading) the humidity control program estimates what the
RH will be when the dehumidification cycle ends and temperature returns to the setpoint. This allows the dehumidification cycle to end at the proper time. Predictive humidity control can greatly reduce energy consumption by minimizing both compressor/reheat operation. Use the UP or DOWN arrow key to select the desired humidity control method.

This function shows the position of the DIP switches, which are located on the control board in the unit; 1 = Switch is “ON” and 0 = Switch is “OFF.” For more information on the DIP switches and their
3.9.5
Valve Time (for Systems With a Modulating Chilled Water Valve)
This function shows the full valve travel time of the modulating valve on a chilled water system. This is the time it takes for the valve to travel from full closed to full open. It is programmable from 50 to
250 seconds; factory default time is 165 seconds and should not be changed. The full valve travel time is used by the control to determine the appropriate valve position. For example, if the valve travel time is 165 seconds and 50% cooling is being called for, the valve will open for 83 seconds to achieve
50% open.
3.9.6
CW Flush (for systems with a modulating chilled water valve)
This function shows the interval time at which the system will perform a modulating chilled water valve system flush cycle. The factory default is 24 (hours) and is programmable from 0 (hours) which signifies to never flush, to 99 (hours) which signifies to flush after every 99 hours of valve non-use. If the valve is called on by the control to open within the programmed interval time, the timer will be reset to 0. The flush cycle is active even when the fan is turned off, but power is applied to the unit.
When the interval timer reaches the programmed time, the valve will be opened for 3 minutes to flush any contaminants that may have collected in the system.

Change Passwords
The display will prompt the operator to enter a three digit password when attempting to make changes. The system includes two (2) passwords, one for setpoints and one for setup. The system allows the password to be changed by first entering the default password set at the factory (1-2-3) for setpoints and (3-2-1) for setup. The password function provides system security so that only authorized personnel are allowed to make changes to the system. (If unauthorized changes are being made, the passwords may be compromised and new ones should be selected). The password function can be disabled by setting DIP switch 8 in the wallbox to OFF, then resetting power to the unit.
3.11
Calibrate Sensors
The temperature and humidity sensors can be calibrated by selecting the CALIBRATE SENSORS menu item. The temperature sensor can be calibrated ±5°F, while the humidity sensor can be calibrated ±10% RH. When calibrating the humidity sensor, the value shown will always be % RH, even though absolute humidity control may be selected. If absolute humidity control is selected, the Normal Status Display will display the adjusted reading. This reading may not agree with the relative humidity reading displayed while in calibration.
If the sensors are subject to frequent wide temperature and humidity swings, it may be necessary to shorten the cycling by increasing the sensor time delay. If the sensors are located too close to the air discharge, they will likely experience rapid swings in measurement. Another method in reducing compressor cycling is to increase the temperature and/or humidity sensitivity.
3.12
Alarm Enable
Each alarm can be disabled or enabled. Use the Up and Down arrows to select a particular alarm, press Enter to select either Enable or Disable. Press Enter again to store the change. When the alarm is disabled it will NOT report to either the wallbox beeper or to the common alarm relay.
NOTE
The high water alarm will automatically shut the unit off, even if the alarm is disabled.
Similarly, optional factory-installed smoke detectors are wired to shut off the evaporator unit, regardless of the enable/disable status.
3.13
Alarm Time Delay
Each individual alarm can be programmed with a time delay, causing the unit to delay a specified
amount of time (0-255 seconds) before recognizing the alarm. See Table 14 for the default times. The
alarm condition must be present for the full amount of the time before the alarm will sound. If the alarm condition is diverted prematurely, the alarm will not be recognized and the time delay will automatically reset.
NOTE
For software alarms such as “loss of power” and “short cycle,” the time delay should be left at the factory default of 0.

Temperature Control
4.1.1
Cooling/Heating Required
The temperature control program for the microprocessor is based on a calculated percentage requirement for cooling/heating.
4.1.2
Cooling Operation (Compressorized Direct Expansion and Chilled Water)
Cooling is ACTIVATED when the temperature control calculates a requirement for cooling of 100%. It is DEACTIVATED when the cooling requirement drops below 50%. The optional hot gas bypass is energized when a call for cooling occurs unless there is also a call for dehumidification.

4.1.3
Heating Operation
Electric Heat or Hot Water
The reheat stage is ACTIVATED when the temperature control calculates a requirement of 100%.
Conversely, the reheat is DEACTIVATED when the heat requirement is 50% less than the activation point.
SCR Electric Reheat
The SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) controller proportionally controls the stainless steel reheat feature to maintain the selected room temperature. The rapid cycling made possible by the SCR controller provides precise temperature control, while the constant element temperature improves heater life. During operation of the SCR control, THE COMPRESSOR OPERATES CONTINUOUSLY. The heaters are modulated to provide temperature control. The display status will show when the unit is cooling and heating. The control will automatically lock the compressor cooling to “ON” position, except when the temperature falls below the low temperature alarm set point. Cooling will then be disabled until the room temperature reaches the temperature set point.
4.2
Humidity Control
4.2.1
Dehumidification/Humidification Required
The humidity control is based on a calculated percentage requirement for dehumidification or humidification (i.e., the difference between the return air humidity and the humidity set point). As the return air humidity rises above the humidity set point, the percent dehumidification required increases proportionally from 0 to 100% over a humidity band equal to the humidity sensitivity setting. The converse is true for percent humidification requirement.
4.2.2
Dehumidification Operation, Compressorized Direct Expansion (DX) Systems
Dehumidification with the standard configuration is accomplished by operating the compressor without the hot gas bypass active. Dehumidification will be disabled if the heating requirement exceeds
125%. It is re-enabled when the heating requirement reaches 50%.
38
System Performance Microprocessor Controls
4.2.3
Humidification Operation
The canister humidifier is activated when the humidity control calculates a requirement of 100% humidification; and is deactivated when the humidification requirement falls below 50%.
4.3
Load Control Features
The control system monitors the compressor and prevents it from turning on within a 3 minute period of being off. If this on-off-on cycle occurs too often (e.g., 10 times in one hour) a Short Cycle Alarm will occur.
4.3.1
Communications
The control system uses a two-wire, RS-422 channel to communicate with Liebert Site Products via a proprietary protocol. A converter board (ECA2) is available to allow communications with a “dumb” terminal or a computer using RS-232 channel. More details are provided in the Site Products and
ECA2 User Manual.
The communications channel provides both monitoring and control options, including:
• TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY: Current temperature and humidity readings.
• STATUS (%), Cooling/heating and humidify/dehumidify operating status.
• PRESENT ALARMS: Alarms currently activated.
• SET POINTS:
• Temperature Set point
• Temperature Sensitivity
• Humidity Set point
• Humidity Sensitivity
• High Temperature Alarm
• Low Temperature Alarm

Alarms
5.0
A
LARMS
The microprocessor control system will audibly and visually signal all ENABLED Alarms (including two (2) custom alarms). These special alarms can be chosen from the optional alarm list and/or can have their own fully custom text. The custom alarm inputs are contact closures wired from terminal
TB1-1 through a normally open contact to either TB1-2 (alarm 1) or TB1-3 (alarm 2). The alarms can
be enabled or disabled (refer to 3.0 - Microprocessor Control) and a time delay of 0-255 seconds can
be set. The alarms can also be programmed to either sound the alarm & activate the common alarm relay OR to sound the alarm only.
When a new alarm occurs, it is displayed on the screen and the audible alarm is activated. (If communicating with a Liebert Site Product, the alarm is also transmitted.) The message “PRESS ALARM
SILENCE” will prompt the operator to silence the alarm. After the alarm is silenced, the display will return to the Normal Status Display. Alarms can be reviewed by selecting the “ACTIVE ALARMS” feature. The alarms can also be silenced through communications with a Liebert Site Product unit.
Many alarms will reset automatically when the alarm condition is no longer represented and only after it has been acknowledged by being “Silenced.” The exceptions are:
1. software alarms, i.e., Loss of Power and Short Cycle alarms will reset automatically 30 seconds after being silenced or acknowledged
2. specific alarms monitoring overload or high pressure switches may require a manual reset depending upon the model
5.1
Alarms: Definitions and Troubleshooting
The following list provides a definition and troubleshooting suggestions for each type of alarm. Refer
supplier. THE CUSTOMER MUST SPECIFY ALARM(S) AT THE TIME OF ORDER. OTHER
DEVICES AND WIRING MAY BE REQUIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR SOME OF THE ALARMS.
5.1.1
Custom Alarms
Custom alarm(s) messages are programmed at the LCD display. The message displayed may be included in a list of provided alarms or it may be customized text (for up to 2 alarms). IF CUSTOM-
IZED TEXT IS USED, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE INFORMED OF THE ALARM
FUNCTION AND THE REQUIRED ACTION.
5.1.2
High Head Pressure
Compressor head pressure is monitored with a pressure switch. (One SPDT pressure switch is used).
If head pressure exceeds 360 PSIG, the switch turns off the compressor contactor and sends an input signal to the control. The condition is acknowledged by pressing the alarm silence button on the wall box, which will clear if the head pressure is alleviated. If the head pressure alarm has activated three times, the alarm will lock until the unit is serviced. After the head-pressure problem is fixed, reset the control by disconnecting power to the evaporator unit.
Air Cooled Systems
Check for power shut off to the condenser, condenser fans not working, defective head pressure control valves, dirty condenser coils or crimped lines.
Water/Glycol/ Systems
Check water regulating valves. Verify water/glycol flow (i.e., pumps operating and service valves open). Is water tower or drycooler operating? Is the coolant temperature entering the condenser at or below design conditions? Is AUX relay (terminals 70 & 71) operating during cooling to turn on the drycooler?
40
Alarms
5.1.3
Humidity Level
The humidity level alarm may be activated under the following conditions:
• High: The room return air humidity exceeds the pre-set high humidity alarm set point. Is the unit set up for dehumidification? Check DIP switch.
• Low: The room return air humidity decreases to the low humidity alarm set point. Is the unit setup for humidification? Check DIP switch.
• High and Low Humidity (simultaneously): The simultaneous display of two alarms results in loss of the humidity input signal. DASHES WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE HUMIDITY READ-
ING DISPLAY. Under these conditions, the control system deactivates both humidification and dehumidification. Check for a disconnected cable or failed sensor.
NOTE
Check for proper set points. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoor humidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air?
5.1.4
Temperature
The temperature level alarm may be activated under the following conditions:
• High: The room return air temperature increases to the high temperature alarm set point. Check for proper set point value. Is the room load more than the unit can handle (i.e., capacity too small)? Make sure cooling components are operating (compressor or valves).
• Low: The room return air temperature decreases to the low temperature alarm set point. Check for proper set point value. Make sure all heating components are operating (e.g., contactors, reheats, etc.). Are reheats drawing the proper current (refer to amp rating on nameplate).
• High and Low (simultaneously): The simultaneous display of these two alarms results in loss of the temperature input signal (or the humidity is out of sensor range-15 to 85% RH). Dashes will be displayed for the temperature reading. The control system will initiate 100% cooling. Check for a disconnected cable or a failed sensor.
5.1.5
Humidifier Problem Alarm
The Humidifier Problem Alarm will sound and display a message if any of the following humidifier conditions occur: overcurrent detection; fill system fault or end of cylinder life.
Check fault indicator LED on humidifier control board:
• Constant LED on = Overcurrent
• 1 second LED Flash = Fill System
• 1/2 second LED Flash = Replace Tank
5.1.6
High Water Alarm
A float switch in the evaporator pan will shutdown the evaporator on a high water level. Clear the drain and reset power to the unit in order to clear the alarm.
5.1.7
Loss of Power:
The Loss of Power Alarm will activate (after power is restored to the unit) if the unit has lost power or the disconnect switch was incorrectly turned off before the unit ON/OFF switch was pressed. A Liebert remote monitoring unit (optional) will immediately indicate loss of power.
5.1.8
Short Cycle
A Short Cycle Alarm will occur if the compressor system has exceeded 10 cooling start attempts in a one-hour period. This can be caused by low refrigerant level or room cooling load is small compared to capacity of the unit. Check for leaks, crimped lines and defective components. If room load is low, increase temperature sensitivity to reduce cycle.

Alarms
5.2
Optional/Custom Alarms
5.2.1
Change Filter
Periodically, the return air filters in the evaporator must be changed. The Change Filter alarm notifies the user that filter replacement is necessary. A differential air pressure switch closes when the pressure drop across the filters becomes excessive. The switch is adjustable using the procedure on the switch label.
5.2.2
Firestat
The optional firestat feature is a bi-metal operated sensing device with a closed switch under normal conditions. Connected between pins 1-8 and 1-9, this device will shut down the entire unit.
5.2.3

System Testing
6.1.1
Environmental Control Functions
The performance of all control circuits can be tested by changing the set points, which activates each of the main functions.
6.1.2
Cooling
To test the cooling function, set the set point to a temperature of 10°F (5°C) below room temperature.
A call for cooling should register and prompt the equipment to begin cooling cycle. (Disregard any temperature alarms). Upon completion of testing, return set point to the desired temperature.
6.1.3
Heating
Reheat may be tested by setting the set point 10°F (5°C) above room temperature. A call for heating should register and prompt the equipment to begin heating cycle. (Disregard any temperature alarms). Upon completion of testing, return set point to the desired temperature.
6.1.4
Humidification
To check humidification, set the humidity set point at R.H. 10% above the room humidity reading.
After a short delay, the canister will fill with water and steam will be produced. Upon completion of testing, return the humidity set point to the desired humidity.
6.1.5
Dehumidification
The dehumidification performance can be tested by setting the humidity set point at R.H. 10% below room relative humidity. The compressor should turn on. Upon completion of testing, return humidity set point to the desired humidity.
6.1.6
Remote Shutdown
A connection point is provided for remote shutdown devices supplied by the customer. This terminal strip is located on the printed circuit board. (Terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5 are fitted with a jumper when no remote shutdown device is installed).
6.2
Maintenance and Component Operation
6.2.1
Electric Panel
The electric panel should be inspected on a semi-annual basis for any loose electrical connections.
6.2.2
Filters
Filters are usually the most neglected item in an environmental control system. In order to maintain efficient operation, they should be checked monthly and changed as required. ALWAYS TURN
POWER OFF BEFORE REPLACING FILTERS.
Filters are replaced by opening the hinged door on the return air filter box.
43
System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
6.2.3
Blower System
Monthly inspection of the blower package include: motor mounts, belts, fan bearings and impellers.
Fan impellers should be thoroughly inspected and any debris removed. Check to see if they are tightly mounted on the fan shaft and do not rub against the fan housing during rotation. Motor bearings are permanently sealed and self-lubricating and do NOT need lubricated.
The drive belt should be checked monthly for signs of wear and proper tension. Pressing on belts midway between the sheave and pulley should produce from 1/2” to 1” (12 to 25 mm) of deflection. Belts that are too tight can cause excessive bearing wear.
Belt tension can be adjusted by raising or lowering the fan motor base. Loosen nut above motor mounting plate to remove belt. Turn nut below motor mounting plate to adjust belt tension. If belt appears cracked or worn, it should be replaced with a matched belt (identically sized). With proper care, a belt should last several years.
NOTE
After adjusting or changing the belt, always be certain that motor base nuts are tightened. The bottom adjustment nut should be finger tight. The top locking nut should be tightened with a wrench.
Air Distribution
Since all unit models are designed for constant volume air delivery, any unusual restrictions within the air circuit must be avoided. High efficiency filters can reduce air performance and evaporator capacity.
6.2.4
Blower Removal
If the blower or bearings must be removed or serviced, use the following procedure.
1. Remove the main center section of the three-piece electric panel by first marking and disconnecting all power and control wiring entering the panel.
2. Remove the panel by removing screws from top and bottom sections
3. Remove the blower motor from the blower sled.
4. Remove the four bolts holding the blower sled to the base isolators.
5. Slide the blower/sled assembly forward and rotate 90°.
!
CAUTION
Protect refrigerant and water piping from damage.
6. Slide the blower/sled assembly from unit after ensuring that the refrigerant and water piping are protected from damage.
7. Reinstall by reversing this procedure.
6.2.5
Refrigeration System
Each month the components of the refrigeration system should be inspected for proper function and signs of wear. Since in most cases evidence of malfunction is present prior to component failure, periodic inspections can be a major factor in the prevention of most system failures. Refrigerant lines must be properly supported and not allowed to vibrate against ceilings, floors or the unit frame.
Inspect all refrigerant lines every six months for signs of wear and proper support. Inspect the capillary and equalizer lines from the expansion valve.
Suction Pressure
Suction pressure will vary with load conditions. Suction pressure normally ranges from 58 psi to 75 psi (405 kPa to 517 kPa).

System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
Discharge Pressure
The discharge pressure will vary greatly with load and ambient conditions (Table 18). The high-pres-

Thermostatic Expansion Valve
The thermostatic expansion valve keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy load conditions. Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat level. If too little refrigerant is being fed to the evaporator, then the superheat will be high. Conversely, if too much refrigerant is being supplied, then the superheat will be low. The correct superheat setting is between
10 and 15°F (5.6 and 8.3°C).
Air Cooled Condensing Units
Restricted airflow through the condenser coil will reduce the operating efficiency of the unit. Additionally, it can result in high compressor head pressure and loss of cooling. Using compressed air or commercial coil cleaner, clean the condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. In winter, do not permit snow to accumulate around the side or underneath the condenser. At the same time check for bent or damaged coil fins and repair as necessary. Check all refrigerant lines and capillaries for vibration and support as necessary. Carefully inspect all refrigerant lines for signs of oil leaks.
Coaxial Condensers (Water/Glycol Cooled Condensing Units)
Each water or glycol-cooled condensing unit has a coaxial condenser consisting of an exterior steel tube and an interior copper tube. If the water supply is clean, coaxial condensers do not normally require maintenance or replacement. Should your system begin to operate at high head pressure with reduced capacity and all other causes have been eliminated, the condenser may be obstructed or fouled and should be replaced.
Regulating Valves (Water/Glycol Condensing Units)
The water regulating valve automatically regulate the amount of fluid necessary to remove the heat from the refrigeration system, permitting more fluid to flow when load conditions are high and less fluid to flow when load conditions are low.
The water regulating valve is designed to begin opening at 180 psi (1240 kPa) and to be fully opened at 240 psi (1655 kPa). The valve is factory-set and should not need adjustment.
Glycol Solution Maintenance
It is difficult to establish a specific schedule of inhibitor maintenance since the rate of inhibitor depletion depends upon local water conditions. Analysis of water samples at time of installation and every six (6) months should help to establish a pattern of depletion. A visual inspection of the solution and filter residue is often helpful in judging whether or not active corrosion is occurring. The complexity of problems caused by water requires expert advice from a water treatment specialist plus a regular maintenance program schedule. It is important to note that improper use of water treatment chemicals can cause severe problems.
Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the glycol system.
Consult your glycol manufacturer for proper testing and maintenance procedures. Do not mix products from different manufacturers.

System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
Hot Gas Bypass (Optional)
Operation
The hot gas bypass valve is installed between the compressor discharge piping and suction piping, bypassing the condenser and evaporator coils. The discharge gas mixes with the suction gas, raising the suction temperature and pressure and decreasing the mass flow through the evaporator. The higher suction temperatures could cause compressor overheating, therefore a separate liquid quenching valve is provided to mix refrigerant from the system liquid line with the discharge gas before mixing with the suction gas entering the compressor.
During normal operation, when the evaporator is under full load the hot gas bypass equalizer pressure will remain high enough to keep the valve port closed. If the evaporator load decreases, the evaporator temperature and pressure will drop. When the suction pressure reduces below the hot gas bypass valve setting the hot gas bypass valve opens diverting some of the refrigerant flow back to the compressor suction. The liquid quenching valve bulb senses this increased superheat and opens, allowing liquid refrigerant to mix with the discharge gas, desuperheating it.
Proper mixing of the three refrigerant paths ensures stable operation and system performance. The liquid quenching valve bulb must be located downsteam of all these connections to control superheat at the compressor inlet. Superheat settings for the liquid quenching valve are chosen to maintain consistency with the system expansion valve. During hot gas bypass operation higher superheats, 50-
60°F (19 to 15°C), may be observed at the compressor. The liquid quenching valve is internally equalized and superheat is not adjustable.
Adjustment
1. Install the suction and discharge pressure gauge.
2. Adjust temperature setpoint to call for cooling so that the refrigeration compressor will run continuously.
3. Remove the TOP adjusting nut from the valve.
4. Insert an Allen wrench in the brass hole at top of valve in adjusting port and turn CLOCKWISE if a higher evaporator temperature is required. Adjust no more than 1/4 turn at a time. Let the system stabilize for 15 minutes before determining if additional adjustment is necessary.
5. After obtaining the suction pressure required, reinstall cap tightly making sure there are no leaks.
6. Let the evaporator operate for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to make sure the suction pressure is within the range desired.
7. There may be a fluctuation of approximately 3 to 6 PSIG (21 to 41 kPa) on the evaporator due to the differential on the hot gas bypass.
8. Return temperature setpoint to the desired setting.

System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
Replacement Procedures
Compressor Replacement—Infrequently a fault in the motor insulation may result in a motor burnout (if system is properly installed, motor burnout rarely occurs). Primarily this type of failure is due to mechanical or lubrication problems, where the burnout is a secondary consequence.
Early detection can prevent a large percentage of the problems that can cause compressor failures.
Periodic maintenance inspections by alert service personnel (i.e., identification of abnormal operation) can be a major factor in reducing maintenance costs. It is easier and more cost-effective to implement the necessary preventative steps that ensure proper system operation; rather than ignore a problem until it results in compressor failure and costly replacement. When troubleshooting a compressor problem, check all electrical components for proper operation:
!
CAUTION
Avoid touching or contacting the gas and oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result.
Use long rubber gloves in handling contaminated parts.
• Check all fuses and circuit breakers.
• Check pressure switch operation.
• If a compressor failure has occurred, determine whether its cause is an electrical or mechanical problem.
!
CAUTION
System contains refrigerant. Recover refrigerant before maintenance
Mechanical Failure—If you have determined that a mechanical failure has occurred, the compressor must be replaced.
Electrical Failure—In the event of an electrical failure and subsequent burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, proper procedures must be followed to thoroughly remove any acids that would cause a future failure. There are two kits that can be used with a complete compressor burnout -
Sporlan System Cleaner and Alco Dri-Kleener. Follow the manufacturer's procedure. DAMAGE TO A
REPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR DUE TO IMPROPER SYSTEM CLEANING CONSTITUTES
ABUSE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY, THEREBY VOIDING THE WARRANTY.
Replacement compressors are available from your Liebert supplier and will be shipped to the job site in a reusable crate (as required by the service contractor). If the compressor is under warranty, it must be returned to Liebert in order to receive proper warranty credit. It should be returned in the same container it was shipped in. The possible cause(s) or condition(s) of the damage should be legibly recorded on the provided return tag.
47
System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
Proper procedures to remove and replace the failed compressor are:
1. Disconnect power
2. Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.
3. Recover refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment.
NOTE
Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and unlawful.
Refrigerant must be recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
4. Remove failed compressor.
5. Install replacement compressor and make all connections. Pressurize and leak test the system at approximately 150 PSIG (1034kPa) pressure.
6. Follow manufacturer's instructions for clean out kits.
7. Evacuate the system twice to 1500 microns and the third time to 500 microns. Break the vacuum each time with clean, dry refrigerant to 2 psig (13.8 kPa).
8. Charge the system with refrigerant (R-22) based on requirements of the evaporator, condensing unit and lines. Refer to the installation manual or the unit nameplate.
9. Apply power and operate the system. Check for proper operation. Refer to Table 18 for discharge
pressure.

Steam Generating Humidifier-Operation Procedures
Steam generating humidifiers operate efficiently over a wide range of water quality conditions and automatically adjust to changes in the conductivity of water. The system will automatically drain and refill to maintain a current set point and alert the operator when the humidifier canister needs to be replaced.
The humidifier RUN/DRAIN switch is located in the humidifier assembly. This switch should be in the RUN position when the humidifier is in normal operation and in the DRAIN position during service. The electronic control board for the humidifier is also located in the humidifier assembly. When the unit is energized, power is available to humidifier. Operation involves the following steps:
1. During start-up, when the humidity control calls for humidification, the fill valve will open, allowing water to enter the canister. When the water level reaches the electrodes, current flows and the water will begin to warm. The canister fills until the amperage reaches the set point and the fill valve closes. As the water warms, its conductivity increases and the current flow, in turn, rises. If the amperage reaches 115% of the normal operating amperage, the drain valve opens and flushes some of the water out of the canister. This reduces electrode contact with the water and lowers the current flow to the amperage set point. Boiling soon commences and the canister operates normally.
2. If the conductivity of the water is low, the canister fills and the water level reaches the canister full electrode before the amperage set point is reached. The humidifier stops filling to prevent overflow. Boiling should commence in time. As water is boiled off, the mineral concentration in the canister increases and current flow also increases. The canister eventually reaches full output and goes to normal operation. No drain is permitted until then.
3. When full output is reached the circuit board starts a time cycle which is factory-set at 60 seconds.
During this repeating time cycle, the fill valve will open periodically to replenish the water being boiled off and maintain a “steady state” output at the set point. The amperage variance will depend on the conductivity of the water.
4. After a period of time, the mineral concentration in the canister becomes too high. When this occurs, the water boils too quickly. As the water quickly boils off and less of the electrode is exposed, the current flow decreases. When the current crosses the low threshold point (factory-set at 85%) before the end of the time cycle, the drain valve opens, draining the mineral laden water out and replacing it with fresh water. This lowers the mineral concentration and returns the canister to “steady state” operation and prolongs canister life. The frequency of drains depends on water conductivity.
48
System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
5. Over a period of time, the electrode surface will become coated with a layer of insulating material, which causes a drop in current flow. As this happens, the water level in the canister will slowly rise exposing new electrode surface to the water to maintain normal output. Eventually, the steady state water level will reach the canister full electrode and indicate so by activating the canister full alarm. At this point, all of electrode surface has been used up and the canister should be replaced.
6. After the entire electrode surface has been coated, the output will slowly decrease. During these last hours of electrode life, the mineral concentration can increase and arcing can occur. If the electrodes start to arc, turn off the humidifier immediately and replace the canister with the identical part.
Replacing the Humidifier Canister
The proper procedure to replace the humidifier canister is:
1. Turn off the humidifier by lowering the humidity set point below the ambient humidity level.
Record the original set point.
2. Place the RUN/DRAIN switch in the DRAIN position to drain the water from the canister.
3. Return the RUN/DRAIN switch to the RUN position after the canister has drained.
4. Turn OFF the power at the main unit.
5. Remove the cover from the humidifier cabinet.
6. Locate the power wires to the steam canister. They are connected to the canister with 1/4" quick connects. Make note of the wiring configuration before removing any wires. Refer to schematic on unit. Slide the rubber boot back to expose the connections. Remove the two (2) power wires and the canister full wire. Do not loosen the screws that secure the electrodes.
!
WARNING
Canister and steam hose may be hot! allow time for the humidifier to cool before replacing parts.
7. Loosen the steam outlet hose clamps and slide the steam hose away from the canister fitting.
Release the canister clamp along the base of the canister.
8. Remove the canister.
9. Reverse previous steps to reassemble humidifier, paying special attention to the following:.
!
WARNING
Hazardous voltage! use extreme caution. Circuit board adjustment should be performed by qualified personnel only.
Power should be disconnected prior to the procedure.

System Operation, Testing and Maintenance
6.2.7
Circuit Board Adjustments
The humidifier control board governs humidifier operation. There are three potentiometers mounted on the board and can be used to adjust for extreme water conductivity conditions.
POT2 controls the amperage at which the drain will energize and is clearly marked in percentages.
This adjustment is factory-set at 85%, which indicates that the unit will drain when the amperage falls off to 85% of the capacity set point. Raising the value increases the frequency of drain cycles.
Lowering the value decreases the frequency of drain cycles.
The frequency should be increased for highly conductive water and decreased for less conductive water. If adjustment is necessary and a change of three to four percent in either direction does not permit normal operation of the unit, consult your Liebert supplier.
The POT1 controls the duration of the drain cycle. This adjustment is factory-set at 60 seconds
(1 VDC) and should not be readjusted without consulting your Liebert supplier.
The DIP switch settings are used to set the capacity of the humidifier. If the humidifier is replaced in the field the DIP switches should be set to the required settings described below.
