System Description

Liebert Deluxe environmental control systems are available in several configurations. Each configuration can operate with either Advanced Microprocessor Controls (AM), or Advanced Microprocessor

Controls with Graphics (AG). A brief description of each, including operational differences, are listed below. Check model numbers to see what is supplied with your unit.

1.1.1 Compressorized Two-Step Systems

These systems may be air, water, or glycol cooled - depending on the heat rejection method selected.

Cooling

Two stages of mechanical refrigeration

Heating

Three stages of electric reheat standard; steam/hot water, hot gas on water and glycol-cooled systems optional

Humidification

Infrared standard, steam grid and steam generating optional

Dehumidification

Utilizes the lag compressor

1.1.2 Compressorized Four-Step Systems

The 4-stage systems have all the features of a compressorized 2-stage system plus cylinder unloaders on one head of each compressor. This permits the compressors to operate at a reduced level and increases energy efficiency during low load conditions. The system responds to an increasing room load with either a two step or a four step process of increasing the unit's cooling.

Cooling

Four stages of mechanical refrigeration:

1. Lead compressor at reduced capacity.

2. Lead and lag compressors at reduced capacity.

3. Lead compressor at full capacity; lag compressor at reduced capacity.

4. Lead and lag compressors at full capacity.

Heating

Three stages of electric reheat standard; hot water/steam optional

Humidification

Introduction

1.1.3 Chilled Water Systems

These systems utilize a central chiller and control cooling by modulating a control valve in the chilled water line.

Cooling

Modulating output water valve

Heating

Three stages of electric reheat standard; steam/hot water optional

Humidification



Chilled water valve opens proportionally in response to room needs

1.1.4 GLYCOOL

™

(Chilled Glycol Cooling) Systems

GLYCOOL

™

systems have all of the features of a compressorized water or glycol system, plus a second cooling coil that is connected into the water circuit. When fluid temperature is sufficiently low

(below room temperature), cooling is provided by circulating the fluid through the second cooling coil

(with the flow controlled by a motorized valve). This is then the primary cooling source, greatly reducing the compressor operation.

Cooling

Modulated cooling valve opens proportionally to match room needs (primary), two or four stages of mechanical refrigeration (secondary)

Heating

Three stages of electric reheat standard

Humidification

Infrared standard; steam generating optional



1.1.5 Dual Source Cooling Systems

This system has all the features of a compressorized system but adds a second cooling coil that is connected to a source of chilled water. This second coil is controlled by a modulating control valve. It is the primary source of cooling and dehumidification so compressor operation is reduced.

Cooling

Second coil opens proportionally in response to the room needs (primary), two or four stages of mechanical refrigeration (secondary)

Heating

Three stages of electric reheat standard

Humidification

Infrared standard; steam generating optional


Standard Controls use the lag compressor. Advanced Controls use the chilled water valve and then the lag compressor if required by the load.

WARNING

Potentially lethal voltages exist within this equipment during operation. Observe all cautions and warnings on the unit and in this manual. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified service and maintenance personnel should work with this equipment.

1. Disconnect all power to the environmental control unit.

2. Tighten all electrical wiring connections on electric panel and at all major components such as compressors, reheats, humidifiers and motors which may have loosened during shipping.

3. Remove all line voltage fuses except the main fan fuses at the far right of the electric panel and the Control Voltage fuses at the far left of the electric panel. For units supplied with circuit breakers, open them instead of removing fuses.

4. Turn on power and check line voltage on main unit disconnect switch. Line voltage must be within 10% of nameplate voltage.

5. Turn ON main unit disconnect switch and check secondary voltage at transformer T1. Voltage at

T1 must be 24 VAC ±2.5 VAC (check at TB1-1 and TB1-8). T1 voltage must not exceed 28 VAC.

Change primary tap if necessary.

6. Push ON button. Blower will start and ON lamp will light (lighted switch on Standard Controls only).

7. If you do not want your unit to operate at factory default settings, set temperature and humidity setpoints and sensitivity, alarms, and other control functions. Refer to 3.0 - Advanced

Microprocessor Controls Setup

or to Advanced Microprocessor with Graphics Control

2.0.1 Additional Considerations for Upflow Units

These units are manufactured with factory supplied adjustable motor sheaves. Due to variations in applications, a fixed motor pulley may be desired and can be substituted for the adjustable sheave after obtaining and confirming the desired air flow. This will reduce vibration and wear on the belts and pulleys. Consult Liebert Applications Engineering for more information.

Main Menu (AM)—Status/Alarm Data

Selecting STATUS/ALARM DATA from the Main Menu will display the following selections:

ACTIVE ALARMS

OPERATING STATUS

ALARM HISTORY LOG

RUN HOURS LOG

ANALOG SENSORS

3.3.1 Active Alarms

This screen, a submenu of Status/Alarm Data, displays any active alarm. The alarms are numbered,

#1 being the most recent. If there are no active alarms, then “NO ALARMS PRESENT” will be displayed.

3.3.2 Operating Status

The Operating Status submenu of Status/Alarm Data informs the user what the control is calling for the system to do.

NOTE

There may be some time lapse before a specific component matches the displayed number.

For example: The display indicates the chilled water valve is 68% open. On a new call for cooling, it takes several seconds for the valve to travel from fully closed to 68% open. So when the display reads

68%, it may take a few seconds for the valve to actually open 68%. Also, if the display indicates a compressor is operating but the compressor has not turned on yet, it may be off because of the short cycle control (see 5.3.1 - Short Cycle Control).

3.3.3 Alarm History Log

The Alarm History Log, submenu of Status/Alarm Data, employs nonvolatile memory to retain the unit’s 10 most recent alarms along with the date and time each occurred. The first alarm in the History Log is the most recent, and the tenth is the oldest. If the alarm history is full—showing 10 alarms—and a new alarm occurs, the oldest is lost and the newest is saved, becoming the first in the list in alarm history location 1. The rest are moved down the list by one position—the second alarm becomes the third and so on. The Alarm History Log on a new unit may show the results of factory testing. Check the unit delivery date to see if this is the case.

3.3.4 Run Hours Log

The total operating hours of all major components in the unit can be monitored from this display, a submenu of Status/Alarm Data. The information is retained in nonvolatile memory. Run times are available for the following:

• C1: compressor 1

• C2: compressor 2

• GLYCOOL

Coil (or Dual Cool Coil)

• Fan

• HUM: humidifier

• RH1: reheat 1 (or Hot Water Reheat)

• RH2: reheat 2

• RH3: reheat 3

• CW: Chilled Water Coil

The component run hours for each individual component can be reset by selecting the run hours display screen for the desired component, then pressing ENTER within five (5) minutes of applying power to the control. The user will then be prompted to press ENTER to clear the selected component's run hours.

NOTE

Run hours for a component should only be reset when the component has been replaced.

Setup Operation

The Setup Operation permits the review and/or adjustment of the unit configuration. The menu may include:

Cold Start:

This feature, also referred to as Positive Start or Winter Start Kit, allows for the lowpressure switch to be ignored for the programmed time during a cold start of the compressors, enabling the unit to run at low suction pressures. Entering a “0” for this time will bypass this feature.

A “1”, will bypass the low-pressure switch for one minute, a “2” for two minutes, etc. The programmed value can be from 0 to 3 minutes. This delay is factory set to 0 for water-cooled, glycol cooled, and

GLYCOOL

™

units. Typically, only air-cooled units need a “Winter Start” time.

Restart:

This feature allows for the unit to restart automatically after a loss of power. The programmed value is in 0.1 minute (6 seconds) intervals. A programmed value of zero (0) would require the user to manually press the ON/OFF key to start the unit, i.e. no auto restart. The purpose of this feature is to prevent several units from starting at the same time after a loss of power. The message

“Restart delay -- Please wait” will be displayed when the system is in the AUTO RESTART mode. (It is suggested that multiple unit installations be programmed with different auto restart times.)

IR Fill Rate

(infrared humidifiers only): An autoflush system automatically controls a water makeup valve to maintain proper level in the infrared humidifier water pan during humidifier operation. If humidification is needed and 15 hours have elapsed since the last time the humidifier was on, the humidifier is held off until the valve completes an initial fill of the humidifier pan. This pre-fill is about 35 seconds for a small pan and 60 seconds for a large pan. The valve continues to fill and flush the pan for about 4 1/2 minutes for a small pan or 7 1/2 minutes for a large pan. Pan size is selected based on unit specifications and is preset at the factory.

During humidifier operation, with the flush rate set at the default of 150%, the valve is opened periodically to add water to the pan (about 45 seconds every 7 minutes of humidifier operation for a small pan, or 80 seconds every 10 minutes of operation for a large pan). This adds enough water to the pan to cause about a third of the total water used to be flushed out the overflow standpipe located in the humidifier pan. This action helps to remove solids from the pan. The flush rate is adjustable from

110% to 500%. If the water quality is poor, it may be desirable to increase the water flushing action above the normal 150% rate. Also, if the supply water pressure is low, the flush rate adjustment can be increased so that sufficient water level is maintained during humidification.

Chilled Water/Hot Water/Econ-O-Coil Flush:

This feature will flush the respective coil for three

(3) minutes after the programmed number of hours of non-use. For example, if the flush time is programmed with 24 hours on a hot water reheat type system and heating is not required for 24 hours, the hot water valve will be open for three (3) minutes to allow the coil to be flushed. The programmed value can be from 0 (zero) (no flush) to 99 (99 hours of non-use).

F/C Degrees:

The control can be selected to show readings and setpoints in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).

Calibrate Sensors

The temperature and humidity sensors can be calibrated by selecting this menu item. “Sensor” shows the actual sensor reading or raw reading. “Calibrated” shows the sensor reading after the calibration offset has been added. The temperature sensor can be calibrated ±5 degrees Fahrenheit and 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 and may not agree with the relative humidity reading displayed while in calibration.

Dehumidification with Normal or Delayed Reheat:

Dehumidification with normal reheat allows for operating BOTH compressors and reheats simultaneously. It is very important that electrical service to the unit be sized and wired for this option if selected.

!

CAUTION

If the electrical service to the unit is not properly sized for this option, it could trip the building circuit breakers (or fuses) or, in extreme cases, damage the building wiring.

With delayed reheat selected, the reheats are prevented from turning on when dehumidifying with both compressors until the point at which 100% heating is called for. At this time, the compressors are turned off until the reheats bring the temperature back up to the point at which the reheats are turned off.

Select Control Type

• INTELLIGENT

• PROPORTIONAL

• TUNABLE PID

The type of system control method used by the microprocessor can be selected from the front panel.

The default setting is INTELLIGENT, which approximates the actions that a human operator would take to maintain precise, stable control. The control logic uses Artificial Intelligence techniques including “fuzzy logic” and “expert systems” methods to maintain precise, stable control and increase reliability by reducing component cycles. PROPORTIONAL is a standard control method that uses one gain factor (temperature sensitivity adjustment). TUNABLE PID (Proportional, Integral, and

Derivative) uses three gain factors selected by the operator. PID allows precision tuning, but requires an experienced operator and seasonal adjustments. Note that if PID is selected, it is used for temperature control while humidity will continue to use Proportional Control. For chilled water units with the optional Variable Speed Drive, Intelligent Control is required for proper operation.

Refer to 5.0 - Response by Control Type—Advanced Microprocessor Controls for more detail on types of control.

Setup Alarms

Selecting SETUP ALARMS will step to the following menu:

• SET TIME DELAYS

• ENABLE ALARMS

• ENABLE COMMON ALARM

• SET CUSTOM ALARMS

Each individual alarm can be programmed with a time delay from 0 to 255 seconds. Each individual alarm can be ENABLED or DISABLED and each individual alarm can be programmed to energize or not to energize the Common Alarm Relay.

Set Time Delays:

By programming a time delay for an alarm, the system will delay the specified amount of time before recognizing the alarm. The alarm condition must be present for the amount of time programmed for that alarm before it will be annunciated. If the alarm condition goes away before the time delay has timed out, the alarm will not be recognized and the time delay timer will be reset. For software alarms such as Loss of Power, Short Cycle, and Low Suction Pressure, a time delay will only delay the annunciation of that alarm. The condition of the alarm is not applicable because the condition has already occurred. For these alarms the time delay should be left at the factory default of 0. The following table shows the default time delays for each alarm.

Each individual alarm can be selected to energize or to not energize the common alarm relay. If the energize common alarm function is set to YES, the relay is energized immediately as the alarm is annunciated and de-energized when the alarm condition goes away (only after the alarm has been recognized). If the function is set to NO, the alarm has no effect on the common alarm relay regardless of whether the alarm is ENABLED or DISABLED.

Humidity Control Method

The user may select between relative (direct) and 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 as the return air temperature deviates from the desired temperature setpoint.

This results in a predictive humidity control. The display will indicate % RH for both methods of control, but the adjusted humidity reading will be displayed if absolute is selected. With predictive humidity control, the humidity control is automatically adjusted approximately 2% RH for each degree difference between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint.

With relative humidity control, unnecessary dehumidification can result when overcooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle. This is because a higher than normal RH reading is caused by overcooling the room (about 2% RH for each degree of overcooling). This 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 overcooling was significant enough, the RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier.

If absolute humidity control is selected, over-dehumidification is avoided. When overcooling occurs, causing an increase in the RH reading, the humidity control program “predicts” 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. The predictive humidity control can reduce energy consumption by minimizing compressor and reheat operation, and eliminating unnecessary humidifier operation.

Analog Setup

For installation of analog sensors, see 5.0 - Response by Control Type—Advanced Microproces-

sor Controls

.

After selecting a compatible sensor and properly wiring it to the terminals, set up the control to monitor the sensor as follows:

Slope:

The slope is a multiplier used to scale the input signal. The slope can be positive (rising) or negative (falling) and can range from 0 (resulting in a horizontal line) to ±999. The slope for a 0-5 volt input is per 1 volt input, for 0-10 volt input is per 2 volt input, and for 4-20 mA is per 4 mA input. For example, assuming an intercept of 0, for a 0-10 volt sensor input with a slope of 50, an input of 1 volt would be displayed as 25: (1x[50/2]); 2 volts would be 50: (2x[50/2]); 3 volts would be 75: (3x[50/2]); etc.

Intercept:

The intercept is an offset from point 0 corresponding to 0 volts or 0 mA input. The intercept can be positive or negative and can be a point from 0 to ±999. Adding an intercept of 100 to the slope example above, 1 volt would be 125: 100 + (1x[50/2]); 2 volts would be 150: 100 + (2x[50/2]); 3 volts would be 175: 100 + (3x[50/2]); etc.

NOTE

For a 4-20 mA input sensor, if the desired reading at 4 mA input is 0, then an intercept of -1 x slope would be required. For example, assuming a slope of 50, the formula would be ([-1 x 50] +

4 x [50/4]) = 0. The intercept is -50.

Text:

You may enter a custom label for each analog input. The text label can be 20 characters in length including any of the following characters (or a blank space):

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ#%*-0123456789

The Status Display can be set to show the return air temperature and humidity SENSOR READ-

INGS or the temperature and humidity control SETPOINTS through this selection. When SET-

POINTS is selected, the status display indicates so by displaying “SETPTS.” If SENSOR READINGS is selected, the Status Display will show the return air sensor readings.

Calibrate Actuator

For systems that use a valve actuator for chilled water or glycol cooling, the actuator timing may be calibrated or adjusted. This is the time it takes for the valve to travel from full closed to full open. It is programmable from 0 to 255 seconds. The factory default time is 165 seconds and should not be changed unless the actual valve travel time is not correct. 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. To change the valve travel time, first enter the CALIBRATE ACTUATOR screen. The display will show the present period used by the control for valve actuator full travel. Press ENTER and adjust the time using the UP/DOWN arrows. When the correct time is displayed, press ENTER to store the new time in memory.

3.4.3 Run Diagnostics

From the Run Diagnostics menu, maintenance personnel can check system inputs, outputs, and complete a test of the microcontroller circuit board, all from the front panel. Review of the system inputs and the microcontroller test can be done without interrupting normal operation. To test the system outputs, the normal system control is temporarily suspended. DO NOT leave the unit in the diagnostics mode any longer than is necessary for troubleshooting. The control system will return to normal operation in 5 minutes, automatically, if no key is pressed.

Load Control Features

3.7.1 Short Cycle Control

The control system monitors both compressors and prevents each from turning on within 3 minutes of being turned off. If this (on, off, on) occurs too often, ten (10) times in one hour, a Short Cycle alarm could occur.

3.7.2 Sequential Load Activation Control

The control allows only one load output to be energized at a time on a restoration of power or microcontroller reset. Each additional load output will be activated at one second intervals until desired operating conditions have been met.

3.7.3 Compressor Sequencing Control

The lead compressor is the first one to be turned on when compressor operation is required. The lag compressor is turned on second if both compressors are required. The control monitors the operating time of both compressors and will automatically switch lead/lag compressor operation to maintain less than eight hours difference between the running times of two compressors.

When the operating hours on the lead compressor become eight hours greater than on the lag compressor, the lead/lag operation is automatically switched. If the lead compressor is operating by itself at that time, it will be turned off, the lead/lag operation will be changed, and the new lead compressor will be turned on.

NOTE

If the hot gas reheat option has been selected, compressor 2 is always the lead compressor.

4.4.3 Setup Alarms

The list of alarms may be reviewed using the UP/DOWN keys. Any alarm may be selected to have its parameters modified by pressing the ENTER key. All alarms have a time delay and alarm type parameter. The high/low temperature and humidity alarms also have a programmable Trip Point.

The Trip Point is the point at which the alarm is activated. By programming a time delay for an alarm, the system will delay the specified amount of time before recognizing the alarm. The alarm condition must be present for the amount of time programmed for that alarm before it will be annunciated. If the alarm condition goes away before the time delay has timed out, the alarm will not be recognized. For software alarms such as Loss of Power, Short Cycle, and Low Suction Pressure, a time delay will only delay the annunciation of that alarm. The condition of the alarm is not applicable because the condition has already occurred. For these alarms the time delay should be left at the factory default of 0.

Each individual alarm can be selected as either DISABLED, WARNING, or URGENT. The four custom alarms may also be selected to be a Status Only input. If the alarm is DISABLED, it is ignored. If the alarm is WARNING or URGENT, it will be annunciated audibly, visually, and communicated to a

Site Products System, if appropriate. If the alarm is selected to be a WARNING, the alarm will NOT activate the common alarm relay. When the alarm is selected to be URGENT, the alarm is first annunciated as a WARNING, and then annunciated again, after the programmed time delay. When the alarm becomes URGENT, the control will activate the common alarm relay. The common alarm relay is de-energized after the alarm has been recognized and when the alarm no longer exists. When the alarm type has been selected to be URGENT, the allowable range for the time delay from warning to urgent is 0 minutes to 999 hours. When any of the four custom alarm inputs have been selected as

Status Only, they become digital inputs for monitoring only and are no longer treated as alarms.

4.4.5 View Water Detect Floor Plan (for optional LTM1000/LT750)

When water is detected the alarm will sound and the WATER UNDER FLOOR alarm message will be displayed. To see where the water is in the room, select VIEW/SET ALARMS from the Main Menu, then VIEW WATER DETECT FLOOR PLAN. A tile will be highlighted and blinking to indicate the position of the detected water.

4.4.6 Setup Water Detect Floor Plan

The water detection display is designed to graphically display the location of water under a raised floor when connected to an LT750 water detection system. The selected (i.e., cursor) floor tile will be highlighted and blinking. The UP and DOWN arrow keys are used to position the cursor tile. The UP key will move the cursor tile up and then it wraps around to the bottom of the next column to the right. The DOWN arrow key moves the cursor down, then to the top of the next column to the left. The cursor will also wrap around from the right top tile to the left bottom tile and back.

There are three different types of tiles to be defined: the environmental unit, the LT750 and sensor cable tiles. To set up the cable layout, first move the cursor to the location of the environmental unit and press the ENTER key. A rectangular box will be drawn at that location. Then move the cursor to the location of the LT750 and press the ENTER key. A solid circle will be drawn on the display. No tile can have two definitions, so if the LT750 is physically directly under the unit, it has to be defined at least one tile away.

The sensor cable should not be defined one tile at a time. The only sensor cable tiles that need to be defined are the tiles where the cable is going to change direction, and the last tile. The display will automatically define any tiles between two consecutively defined sensor tiles to be sensor tiles.

The ENTER key is also used to undo tile definitions. If a tile is defined in the wrong place, position the cursor on that tile and press the ENTER key. It will undefine the tile under the cursor and move the cursor back to the last defined tile. The entire layout can be erased by successively pressing the

ENTER key. When the last tile is defined, press the ESCape key to leave the setup screen.

Installation—LT750 DIP Switch Settings

Install the LT750 following the instructions in the LT750 Users Manual. The following additional switch selections should be made when connecting to an Advanced Microprocessor control:

DIP SW3-4 Off-(water alarm relay energizes for alarm)

DIP SW3-5 Off-(cable fault relay energizes for alarm)

Switch 1 - Off-(LT750 sources power for 4-20 mA loop)

Main Menu (AG)—Operating Status

The Operating Status is intended to provide the user with displayed information concerning what the control is calling for the system to do.

NOTE

There may be some time lapse before a specific component matches the displayed number.

For example: The display indicates the chilled water valve is 68% open. On a new call for cooling, it takes several seconds for the valve to travel from full closed to 68% open. So when the display reads

68%, it may take a few seconds for the valve to actually open 68%. Also, if the display indicates a compressor is operating but the compressor has not turned on yet, it may be off because of the short cycle control (see 5.3.1 - Short Cycle Control).

4.7.1 Setup Operation

The SETUP OPERATION menu permits the review and/or adjustment of the unit configuration. This may include:

Cold Start Delay

This feature, also referred to as Positive Start or Winter Start Kit, allows for the low pressure switch to be ignored for the programmed time during a cold start of the compressor. Entering a “0” for this time will bypass this feature. A “1”, will bypass the low pressure switch for one minute, a “2” for two minutes, etc. The programmed value can be from 0 to 3 minutes. This delay is factory set to 0 for water cooled, glycol-cooled, and GLYCOOL

™

Start” time.

units. Typically, only air cooled units need a “Winter

Auto Restart Delay

This feature allows for the unit to restart automatically after a loss of power. The programmed value is .1 minute (6 seconds) intervals. A programmed value of zero (0) would require the user to manually press the ON/OFF switch to start the unit, i.e. no auto restart. The purpose of this feature is to prevent several units from starting at the same time after a loss of power. The message “Restart delay --

Please wait” will be displayed when the system is in the AUTO RESTART mode. (It is suggested multiple unit installations be programmed with different auto restart times.)

IR Flush Overfill (infrared humidifiers only)

An autoflush system automatically controls a water makeup valve to maintain proper level in the infrared humidifier water pan during humidifier operation. If humidification is needed and 15 hours have elapsed since the last time the humidifier was on, then the humidifier is held off until the valve completes an initial fill of the humidifier pan. This pre-fill is about 30 seconds. The valve continues to fill and flush the pan for about 4 minutes.

During humidifier operation, with the flush rate set at the default of 150%, the valve is opened periodically to add water to the pan (about 40 seconds every 9 and 1/2 minutes of humidifier operation).

This adds enough water to the pan to cause about a third of the total water used to be flushed out the overflow standpipe located in the humidifier pan. This action helps to remove solids from the pan. The flush rate is adjustable from 110% to 500%. If the water quality is poor, it may be desirable to increase the water flushing action above the normal 150% rate. Also, if the supply water pressure is low, the flush rate adjustment can be increased so that sufficient water level is maintained during humidification.

Chilled Water/Hot Water/Econ-O-Coil Flush

This feature will flush the respective coil for three (3) minutes after the programmed number of hours of nonuse. For example, if the flush time is programmed with 24 hours on a hot water reheat type system, and heating is not required for a 24 hour period, the hot water valve will be opened for 3 minutes to allow the coil to be flushed. The programmed value can be from 0 (no flush) to 99 (99 hours of nonuse).

Display in Degrees

The control can be set to display readings and setpoints in either degrees Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).

4.7.3 Calibrate Sensors

The temperature and humidity sensors can be calibrated by selecting this menu item. “SENSOR” shows the actual sensor reading or raw reading. “CALIBRATED” shows the sensor reading after the calibration offset has been added. The temperature sensor can be calibrated ±5 degrees Fahrenheit and 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 and may not agree with the relative humidity reading displayed while in calibration.

4.7.4 Calibrate Valve Actuator

For systems that use a valve actuator for chilled water or glycol cooling, the actuator timing may be calibrated or adjusted through this feature. This is the time it takes for the valve to travel from full closed to full open. It is programmable from 0 to 255 seconds. The factory default time is 165 seconds and should not be changed unless the actual valve travel time is not correct. 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. To change the valve travel time, first enter the “CALIBRATE VALVE ACTUATOR” screen.

The display will show the present period used by the control for valve actuator full travel. Press

ENTER and adjust the time using the UP/DOWN arrows. When the correct time is displayed, press

ENTER to store the new time in memory.

4.7.5 Select Control Algorithm

The type of system control method used by the microprocessor can be selected from the front panel.

The default setting is INTELLIGENT, which approximates the actions that a human operator would take to maintain precise, stable control. The control logic uses Artificial Intelligence techniques including “fuzzy logic” and “expert systems” methods to maintain precise, stable control and increase reliability by reducing component cycles. PROPORTIONAL is a standard control method that uses one gain factor (temperature sensitivity adjustment). TUNABLE PID (Proportional, Integral, and

Derivative) uses three gain factors selected by the operator. PID allows precision tuning, but requires an experienced operator and seasonal adjustments. Note that if PID is selected, it is used for temperature control while humidity will continue to use Proportional Control. For chilled water units with the optional Variable Speed Drive, Intelligent is required for proper operation. Refer to 5.0 -

Response by Control Type—Advanced Microprocessor Controls

for more details on types of control.

DISCONTINUED

PRODUCT


4.7.6 Select Humidity Sensing Mode

This screen permits the user to select between RELATIVE (direct) and 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 as the return air temperature deviates from the desired temperature setpoint. This results in predictive humidity control. The display will indicate % RH for both methods of control, but the adjusted humidity reading will be displayed if absolute is selected. With predictive humidity control, the humidity control is automatically adjusted approximately 2% RH for each degree difference between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint.

With relative humidity control, unnecessary dehumidification can result when overcooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle. This is because a higher than normal RH reading is caused by overcooling the room (about 2% RH for each degree of overcooling). This 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 overcooling was significant enough, the RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier.

If absolute humidity control is selected, over-dehumidification is avoided. When overcooling occurs, causing an increase in the RH reading, the humidity control program “predicts” 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. The predictive humidity control can reduce energy consumption by minimizing compressor and reheat operation, and eliminating unnecessary humidifier operation.

4.7.7 Set Status Display

The Status Display can be set to show the return air temperature and humidity SENSOR READ-

INGS or the temperature and humidity control SETPOINTS through this selection. When setpoints are selected, the Status Display indicates so by also displaying “SETPOINTS”. If SENSOR READ-

INGS is selected, the Status Display will show the return air sensor readings.

4.7.8 Change Passwords

Selecting Change Passwords will prompt the user to select one of the following:

• SETPOINT PASSWORD

• SETUP PASSWORD

The display prompts you to enter a three digit password when making changes. The system includes two (2) passwords, one for setpoints and one for system setup. The system allows the passwords to be changed by first entering the present password, factory set as “123” for setpoints and “321” for setup.

The password function provides system security, so only personnel authorized to make changes should know the passwords. 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 to OFF.

CAUTION

The result of electrical service to the unit not being sized properly for this option could be nuisance trips of the building circuit breakers (or fuses) or, in extreme cases, damage to building wiring.

With delayed reheat selected, the reheats are prevented from turning on when dehumidifying with both compressors until the point at which 100% heating is called for. At this time, the compressors are turned off until the reheats bring the temperature back up to the point at which the reheats are turned off.

PRODUCT


Six different data types are recorded for graphing: temperature, humidity, and four user defined analog inputs. Each data type can be viewed over three different time scales and two different resolutions. The three time scales are 90 minutes, 8 hours, and 24 hours. The two resolutions are minimum and maximum. With minimum resolution selected, the full scale of the sensor is displayed. In other words, the largest and smallest possible sensor readings are shown. Maximum resolution shows a range which covers two fifths of the full scale sensor range.

4.10.1 Modify Plot Scales

The Modify Plot Scales menu item adjusts the layout of the graph. This setup screen selects the time scale and resolution. It also adjusts the center of the graph for a maximum resolution graph.

The time scale and resolution can also be changed while the graph is displayed. The DOWN arrow key changes the time scale from 90 minutes to 8 hours to 24 hours. The UP arrow key toggles the display between maximum and minimum resolution.

4.11 Main Menu (AG)—Analog/Digital Inputs

Selecting Analog/Digital Inputs steps to the following menu:

• READ ANALOG INPUTS

• SETUP ANALOG INPUTS

• READ DIGITAL INPUTS

• SETUP DIGITAL INPUTS

4.11.1 Read Analog Inputs

The four (4) analog sensor inputs can be monitored from the display. The inputs are filtered, then displayed along with the text label assigned during setup.

4.11.2 Setup Analog Inputs

For installation of analog sensors, see 4.11 - Main Menu (AG)—Analog/Digital Inputs.

After selecting a compatible sensor and properly wiring it to the terminals, setting up the control to monitor the sensor is as follows:

Slope

The slope is a multiplier used to scale the input signal. The slope can be positive (rising) or negative

(falling) and can range from 0 (resulting in a horizontal line) to ±999. The slope for a 0-5 V input is per

1 V input, for 0-10 V input is per 2 V input, and for 4-20 mA is per 4 mA input. For example, assuming an intercept of 0 for a 0-10 V sensor input with a slope of 50, an input of 1 V would be displayed as 25:

(1x[50/2]); 2 V would be 50: (2x[50/2]); 3 V would be 75: (3x[50/2]), etc.

Intercept

The intercept is an offset from point 0 corresponding to 0 volts or 0 mA input. The intercept can be positive or negative and can be a point from 0 to ±999. Adding an intercept of 100 to the slope example above, 1 V would be 125: 100 + (1x[50/2]); 2 V would be 150: 100 + (2x[50/2]); 3 V would be 175: 100 +

(3x[50/2]); etc.

NOTE

For a 4-20 mA input sensor, if the desired reading at 4 mA input is 0, then an intercept of -1 x slope would be required. For example, assuming a slope of 50, the formula would be

([-1 x 50] + 4 x [50/4]) = 0. The intercept is -50.

Text

You may enter a custom label for each analog input. The text label can be 20 characters in length including any of the following:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ#%*-0123456789, or space.

4.11.3 Read Digital Inputs

The four custom alarm inputs can be defined to be digital inputs. Digital inputs are used to sense customer devices for status display purposes only and will not activate the audible alarm.

4.11.4 Set Up Digital Inputs

A digital input is enabled by defining one of the four custom alarms to be STATUS ONLY type in the alarm setup screen. The digital input is given a name by specifying it to be one of the optional alarms or a custom text alarm. See 4.4.3 - Setup Alarms and 4.4.4 - Set Up Custom Alarms.

4.12 Main Menu (AG)—View Run Hours Log

Selecting VIEW RUN HOURS LOG will step to the following menu:

• VIEW 24 HOUR RUN TIME HISTORY

• VIEW TOTAL RUN HOURS

4.12.1 View 24 Hour Run Time History

The history of each load for every hour during the past 24 hours is displayed in the run hour history.

The percentage of each hour that the load was on is displayed from 0 to 100% in increments of 5% or 3 minutes. Loads with a variable output are displayed as a percentage of their capacity for an hour. For example, a variable load that is 50% on for 1/2 of the hour will be displayed as 25% on for that hour.

4.12.2 View Total Run Hours

The total operating hours of all major components in the unit can be monitored from the display and are retained in nonvolatile memory. Run times are available for the following:

• COMPRESSOR 1

• COMPRESSOR 2

• GLYCOOL COIL (or DUAL COOL COIL)

• FAN

• HUMIDIFIER

• REHEAT 1 (or HOT WATER REHEAT)

• REHEAT 2

• REHEAT 3

• CHILLED WATER COIL

• HEAT REJECTION

The component run hours for each individual component can be reset by selecting the run hours display screen for the desired component, then pressing ENTER within five (5) minutes of applying power to the control. The user will then be prompted to press ENTER to clear the selected component's run hours.

NOTE

A component’s run hours should BE RESET ONLY when the component has been replaced.

4.13 Load Control Features


The control system monitors both compressors and prevents each from turning on within 3 minutes of being turned off. If this (on, off, on) occurs too often, ten (10) times in one hour, a Short Cycle alarm could occur.

This section describes how your Advanced Microprocessor Controls respond depending on the algorithm/control type selected in setting up the controls.

5.1

Temperature Control

5.1.1 Cooling/Heating Required, in Percent (%)

The temperature control program for the advanced microprocessor is based on a calculated percent requirement for cooling/ heating, but the response varies according to the control algorithm or type.

5.1.2 Response to Control Types

Proportional Control

If Proportional Control is selected, the % requirement is determined by the difference between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint. As the return air temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the % cooling required increases proportionally (from 0 to 100%) over a temperature band equal to the temperature sensitivity +1°F. The % heating requirement is determined the same way as the temperature decreases below the setpoint. With this type of control the temperature at which the room is controlled increases as the room cooling load increases. At full cooling load, the room would be controlled at a temperature equal to the setpoint plus the sensitivity.

PID Control

If PID Control is selected, the return air temperature is controlled at or near the temperature setpoint independent of the room load. The % cooling/heating requirement is calculated by adding together three individual terms - proportional, integral, and derivative.

The proportional term is figured in a manner similar to the previously described Proportional Control. The integral term (sometimes called “reset action”) is figured by measuring how much and for how long the temperature has been above or below the setpoint. If the temperature is above the setpoint, the % cooling requirement is slowly but continuously increased until the total is sufficient to bring the temperature back to the setpoint. The derivative term provides an anticipation control for rapid changes in temperature. If the temperature is rising, the % cooling is increased temporarily until the temperature begins to stabilize. The % heating requirement is increased if temperature is falling.

The proportional, integral, and derivative terms are all adjustable through the control selection menu and should be set or “tuned” to the characteristics of the room being controlled (see 5.3 - Load Con-

trol Features

).

Intelligent Control

If Intelligent Control is selected, the return air temperature is controlled at or near the temperature setpoint. The % cooling/heating required is calculated based on a set of logical “rules” that are programmed into the control. These “rules” basically simulate the actions that an expert human operator would take if manually controlling the system (see Intelligent Control on page 35).

5.1.3 Cooling Operation

Two-Step Cooling, Compressorized Direct Expansion (DX) Systems

The first stage of cooling activates when the temperature control calculates a requirement for cooling of 50%. The first stage of cooling is deactivated when the cooling requirement drops below 25%. The second stage of cooling is activated when the requirement for cooling rises to 100% and deactivated when the requirement falls below 75%.

Four-Step Cooling, Compressorized Direct Expansion (DX) Systems)

The four stages of cooling are activated when the requirement for cooling is 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% respectively. Each stage of cooling is deactivated when the requirement for cooling falls 12% below the respective activation points. The four stages of cooling are accomplished in the following manner:

• 1 stage: One compressor, unloaded

• 2 stages: Both compressors, unloaded

• 3 stages: One compressor, loaded and one compressor, unloaded

• 4 stages: Both compressors, loaded

GLYCOOL

™

Cooling

When GLYCOOL

™

cooling is available, the temperature control will calculate a total cooling requirement of 200% rather than 100%. Assuming that full GLYCOOL capacity is available, the GLYCOOL valve opens proportionally as the requirement for cooling rises from 0 to 100%. If more than 100% cooling is required, then the compressors are activated at 150% and 200% respectively (125%, 150%,

175% and 200% for a four-step system). If full GLYCOOL capacity is not available, then the GLY-

COOL valve will be opened proportionally over a cooling requirement band equal to the available

GLYCOOL capacity. The compressor would be activated at a cooling requirement of 50% and 100% above the available GLYCOOL capacity.

For example, if the GLYCOOL capacity is 60%, then the GLYCOOL valve would be full open at 60% cooling requirement and the compressors would activate at 110% and 160% cooling requirement. In order to reduce compressor cycling and prevent hunting, GLYCOOL capacity first becomes available when the entering glycol temperature is at least 8° F (22% capacity) below the return air temperature, or 3°F below the return air temperature for 2 hours. GLYCOOL capacity is 100% when the glycol temperature is 25°F below the return air temperature. The system will continue to Econ-O-Cool as necessary as long as the entering glycol temperature remains at least 3°F (0% capacity) below the return air temperature. If GLYCOOL is not available, the temperature control will operate the compressors in the same manner as a 2-step or 4-step system without GLYCOOL.

Dual Cooling Source

If dual cooling is available, the sensible cooling system operates in the same manner as a GLYCOOL system, except that it is assumed that 100% chilled water capacity is available any time the chilled water temperature is 3 °F below the return air temperature.

™

Chilled Water Cooling

The chilled water control valve is adjusted proportionally as the temperature control varies the requirement for cooling from 0% to 100%. Units with the optional variable speed drive (VSD) fanspeed control operate in a similar manner, except that the minimum fan speed is 60% when the cooling requirement is less than 60%. Also, the fan is operated at 100% on a call for any heating and/or humidification.

5.1.4 Heating Operation

Electric Reheat

The three heat stages are activated when the temperature control calculates a requirement of 33%, 66% and 100% respectively. The stages are deactivated when the heat requirement is 16% less than or one half of the activation point. To help improve the life of the reheats, starts are rotated. The first reheat off will be the last to turn on. For example, on an initial call for heating, reheat 1 will turn on. If the control determines more heating is necessary, reheat 2 will turn on. Then, if less heating is needed, reheat 1 will turn off. If more heating is necessary, reheat 3 will turn on. If more heating is necessary, reheat 1 will turn on. If less heating is needed, reheat 2 will be the first off, then reheat 3 and so on. Reheat starts are not rotated if 2 stages of reheat operation are selected in the SELECT OPTIONS menu.

Hot Water/Steam Heat

The valve begins to open when the requirement for heating is 33% and is proportionally adjusted until the valve is full open at 100% heat requirement.

5.2

Humidity Control

5.2.1 Dehumidification/Humidification Required, in Percent (%)

The humidity control program for the Advanced Microprocessor is based on a calculated % requirement for dehumidification/ humidification. This % requirement is determined by the particular type of control algorithm selected by the user.

5.2.2 Control Types


The % requirement is determined only by the difference between the return air humidity and the humidity setpoint. As the return air humidity rises above the humidity setpoint, the % dehumidification required increases proportionally from 0 to 100% over a humidity band equal to the humidity sensitivity setting. The converse is true for % humidification requirement.

PID Control

If PID Control is selected, humidity is controlled in the proportional mode with the sensitivity band being determined by the humidity sensitivity setpoint.


If Intelligent Control is selected, the return air humidity is controlled at or near the humidity setpoint. The % dehumidification/humidification required is calculated based on a set of logical “rules” that simulate the actions of an expert human operator (see Intelligent Control on page 35).

5.2.3 Dehumidification Operation

One-Stage Dehumidification, Compressorized Direct Expansion (DX) Systems

If single compressor dehumidification is selected, a compressor is activated when the humidity control calculates a requirement of 100%; the compressor is deactivated when the requirement falls below

50%.

Two-Stage Dehumidification, Compressorized Direct Expansion (DX) Systems

The first stage of dehumidification activates when the humidity control calculates a requirement for dehumidification of 50%. The first stage of dehumidification is deactivated when the dehumidification requirement drops below 25%. The second stage of dehumidification is activated when the requirement for dehumidification rises to 100% and deactivated when the requirement falls below 75%. If the compressors have unloading capability (four-step cooling), then the compressors are activated in the fully loaded condition for each stage of dehumidification.

Normal or Delayed Reheat (for Two-Stage Dehumidification Only)

If the return air temperature falls enough to require more than the total available reheat capacity, then one (1) stage of dehumidification is disabled and the reheats are activated. If the return air temperature falls enough to require twice the total reheat capacity (200%), both stages of dehumidification are disabled. One stage of dehumidification will be re-enabled at 66% call for heating. Both stages of dehumidification are re-enabled at 33% call.

If delayed reheat is selected and both compressors are activated for dehumidification, the reheats are disabled until only one compressor is required.

If normal reheat control is selected, then the reheats are not disabled during dehumidification, even if both compressors are operating. Refer to section 3.4.2 - Setup System Selection and 4.8.4 - DIP

Switches

regarding wiring required for this option.

PRODUCT


Dual Cooling Source Dehumidification

When dual cooling is available, the humidity control will calculate a total dehumidification requirement of 200% rather than 100%. The cooling valve opens proportionally as the requirement for dehumidification rises from 0 to 100%. If more than 100% dehumidification is required, then the compressors are activated at 150% and 200% respectively. Dual cooling is available if the entering chilled water temperature is 14°F (50% capacity) below the return air temperature. If dual cooling is not available, the humidity control will operate the compressors in the same manner as a 2-stage dehumidification system.

Chilled Water Dehumidification

The chilled water control valve is adjusted proportionally as the humidity control varies the requirement for dehumidification from 0 to 100%.

5.2.4 Humidification Operation

System Activation

The humidifier (infrared or steam) is activated when the humidity control calculates a requirement of

100% humidification, and deactivated when the requirement falls below 50%.

5.2.5 Control Types


This is a standard control method that maintains the room at a temperature proportional to the load.

The temperature maintained increases as the room load increases. At full load the room would be controlled at a temperature equal to the temperature setpoint plus the temperature sensitivity. If Proportional Control is selected, the gain is factory set and cannot be adjusted by the user. Operator inputs are the usual setpoint and sensitivity adjustments.

PID Control

The PID Control combines three individual terms to determine the control output for a given set of conditions. Note that PID Control is used only for temperature. If PID Control is selected, humidity will continue to use Proportional Control.

The proportional (P term) is determined by the difference between the current temperature and the control setpoint. This term is expressed in % cooling (heating) desired for each degree above (below) the setpoint. It is adjustable from 0% to 100% per degree. The purpose of this term is to adjust the control output for any deviation between the current temperature and the control setpoint.

The integral (I term) is determined by two things: the difference between the temperature and control setpoint and the amount of time this difference has existed. This term is expressed in % cooling (heating) desired for each minute and degree above (below) the setpoint. It is adjustable from 0% to 100% per degree-minute. The purpose of this term is to force the control to maintain the temperature around the setpoint by slowly but continuously adding (subtracting) a small amount of cooling (heating) to the total control output until the temperature is at the setpoint.

The derivative (D term) is determined by the rate of change of temperature. This term is expressed in

% cooling (heating) desired for each degree per minute rise (fall) in temperature. It is adjustable from

0% to 100% per degree/min. The purpose of this term is to adjust the control output for quickly changing temperatures, thus providing an anticipation control.

All three types are adjusted in the Select Control Type menu, a submenu of the Setup System menu.

If PID Control is selected, the temperature sensitivity setting is not used by the control.

For optimum performance, a PID Control must be adjusted or tuned according to the characteristics of the particular space and load to be controlled. Improper tuning can cause the control to exhibit poor response and/or hunting. The characteristics of the space and load may change seasonally, so occasional retuning is required for optimum performance.

Suggested System Tuning Procedure

1. Initially adjust the integral and derivative settings to 0%/degree-min and 0%/degree/min.

2. Starting with 20% /degree, adjust the proportional setting in small increments (10% steps) until the control sustains a constant hunting action (the temperature swings are approximately the same amplitude from one peak to the next).

3. Note the time in minutes between peaks of adjacent temperature swings and the amplitude of the temperature swing (degrees above the setpoint).

4. Adjust the Proportional Control setting to about 1/2 the value obtained in step 2.

5. Adjust the integral setting to a value calculated by the following equation: approximate room load (in % full load) time between peaks x peak amplitude x 4

NOTE

If this calculation results in a value of less than 1%, set the integral to 1%.

6. Adjust the derivative to a value calculated by the following equation: time between peaks x 5%

The above tuning procedure is only an approximation for an initial set of adjustments and are based on the “average” room characteristics. Your particular settings may need to be further adjusted for optimum PID Control performance. Some suggestions for additional tuning are:

• If cooling output overshoot is occurring on load changes, decrease the proportional setting or the derivative setting.

• If system hunting occurs with constant room load, decrease the integral setting.

• If the control responds too slowly, resulting in large temperature excursions on a load change, increase the proportional setting or the derivative setting.

• If a constant temperature deviation exists between the temperature and setpoint, increase the integral setting.

37

PRODUCT



The Intelligent Control operates from a set of general rules that define how the control output should be adjusted for different system conditions. The rules are designed to duplicate the actions that an experienced human operator would take if manually controlling the system.

Just as an operator might take several things into consideration before making a temperature control decision, the Intelligent Control can be programmed to do likewise. For example, not only is the current temperature used in making temperature control decisions, but also conditions such as:

• How fast is the temperature changing?

• What direction is the temperature changing?

• What is the cooling output now?

• What was the cooling output in the past?

• How long ago was the cooling output changed?

• Other factors.

Any number of rules can be used in an Intelligent Control to define the controls operation under various operating conditions. Hence, several advantages are gained from this type of control over a more standard control approach that uses a fixed mathematical equation to define the operation of the control for all conditions (such as a proportional or PID Control). You can expect Intelligent Control to be more efficient and precise for most applications, but system performance based on room conditions is not as predictable as standard approaches that use a fixed equation.

The Liebert Intelligent Control includes rules that significantly enhance the performance of the system, both from a standpoint of precision control and system reliability.

Rules are included that:

• Cause the control to ignore very small or temporary temperature/humidity deviations. This eliminates unnecessary control adjustments that contribute to control instability.

• Help limit the frequency of control adjustments, thus extending the life of system components that are susceptible to mechanical wear or cycling.

• Recognize undesired modes of control operation, such as hunting, and make adjustments to the control response to eliminate them.

• Estimate the present load on the system and then tend to force the control output to the appropriate state

• Recognize conditions which indicate a large load change and allow the control to temporarily respond more quickly than normal.

• Cause the control to anticipate the need for reheat during dehumidification and activates reheats before overcooling occurs.

Analog Sensors

5.4.1 Connecting the Analog Sensors

The sensor inputs are factory-set to accept a 4 - 20 mA signal. The inputs can be changed by removing the appropriate jumpers on the control circuit board. See Table 13, Figure 5 and Figure 6.

The user supplied analog sensors MUST have their own power supply. To reduce the effects of interference from any noise source, the sensor input wiring should be shielded twisted pair and the shield tied to earth ground at one end.

Analog input terminals for field connections are factory wired to the microprocessor board if specified when ordered. Eight terminals are located in the field wiring compartment of the unit. Wire sensors to the terminals as follows:

Physical Connections

The example above shows the 4-20 mA output of LT750 connected to Analog Input #1 (41 and 42) on the external inputs terminal strip. This strip is provided on units ordered with analog inputs. (If this strip is not installed, there is a field installation kit available from your Liebert representative.)

The 4-20 mA output of the LT750 must be connected to the first analog input, as shown. TB4 is the water detected relay output. It can be connected to any one of the four special alarm inputs. TB5 is the cable fault relay output. It can also be connected to any one of the four special alarm inputs.

Setup

The following description assumes wiring connections as shown in Figure 6.

First, verify that special alarms 1 and 2 are Enabled to either Warning or Urgent type. Do this by selecting View/Set Alarms from the Main Menu. Then, select Setup Alarms. Follow the instructions on the display to select the required type for Custom Alarm #1 and Custom Alarm #2 if not already set.

Next, select the alarm message for Custom Alarm #1 and #2. From the Main Menu, select View/Set

Alarms. Then, select Setup Custom Alarms. Then, select Setup Custom Alarm Text. Define Custom

Alarm #1 to be Custom 1. (Custom 1 is the default message that will be displayed if a message has never been programmed.) Next, select the text for custom alarm #2 to be Water Under Floor. Now, change the message Custom 1 to LT750 Cable Fault. This is done by selecting the Change Custom Text 1 menu item in the Setup Custom Alarms menu. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the message.

The slope and intercept values of Analog Input #1 are used to calculate the location of water. These values should initially be set to zero. The default values are zero, but it may be a good idea to verify those values. They can be viewed by selecting Analog/Digital Inputs from the Main Menu, then Setup

Analog Inputs.

See 4.4.6 - Setup Water Detect Floor Plan for more information.

PRODUCT


Calibration

Calibration should not be required for most installations. The accuracy of this display is approximately 1%.

The display is calibrated by the slope and intercept values of Analog Input #1. The position of the water is calculated from the analog output of the LT750 using the formula: position = analog reading/full scale reading X (measured length + slope) + intercept

position

is the distance from the LT750 to the position of the detected water.

measured length

is the length of the cable which is calculated automatically when the layout is defined. The units for these values are in floor tiles.

The intercept value read from Analog Input #1 is added to the measured position of a water indication to determine which tile to highlight. For example, if water is displayed under the seventh tile but determined to be under the fifth tile, set the offset value to -2 tiles. Use the intercept value to correct errors close to the start of the cable.

Accuracy errors farther out on the cable should be corrected using Analog Input #1's slope value. This value effectively adjusts the measured length of the cable. Increasing the effective length of cable will increase the distance of the water and move the highlighted tile farther along the cable, and vice versa. Unlike the intercept, which adjusts by the same amount for all locations on the cable, the slope increases its effect for larger distances.

The best procedure to calibrate the cable would be to first simulate water close to the LT750, about 5 tiles out. Adjust the intercept to get the correct reading. Next, simulate water 5 tiles from the end.

Adjust the slope to get the correct reading.

OLUTIONS

The Advanced Microprocessor (AM) and the Advanced Microprocessor with Graphics (AG) Control systems will audibly and visually annunciate all Enabled alarms, including the four (4) custom alarms. With the AM & AG Controls, the customer alarms can be from the optional alarm list and/or can have their own fully custom text. Two (2) alarms may be selected as custom for AM and four (4) can be custom for AG. The custom alarm inputs are 24 Volts AC which is available from the Liebert unit. Alarms are wired from terminal 24 through a normally open contact to locations 50, 51, 55, and

56, respectively, for alarms 1 through 4.

The AM and AG alarms can be delayed from 0 to 255 seconds (see Setup Alarms on page 10). The

AM alarms can be Enabled or Disabled (also in Setup Alarms on page 10). Also, the AM alarms can be programmed to energize the Common Alarm Relay or to “alarm only” and not energize the Common Alarm Relay.

The AG alarms can be selected as Warning, Urgent, or Disabled. If selected to be a Warning, they are annunciated after the Time Delay but do not energize the Common Alarm Relay. If selected as

Urgent, they are annunciated after the Time Delay as a Warning alarm and then re-annunciated after a user programmable period from 0 minutes to 999 hours as an Urgent alarm. When annunciated as an Urgent alarm, the Common Alarm Relay is activated. The custom alarm inputs of the AG can be designated “Status Only.” As Status Only, the custom alarm input is referenced as a digital input and is no longer treated as an alarm. It is for monitoring only and can be reviewed by selecting

“Analog/Digital Inputs.”

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 display will also show a message to “Press Enter Key to Silence” the alarm. After the alarm is silenced, the display will return to the Normal Status Display. For the AG, the bell and hammer are shown at the top of the Normal Status Display. For the AM, the bottom line will display the number of Active Alarms. For the SM, the alarm is displayed by a lighted LED next to the alarm text. The active alarms can be reviewed on the

Advanced Microprocessor Controls by selecting “Active Alarms.”

The alarms can also be silenced through communications with a Liebert Site Products unit. Most alarms will reset automatically when the alarm condition is no longer present and only after it has been acknowledged by being “Silenced.” The exceptions are: a. The three software alarms: Loss of Power, Low Suction Pressure, and Short Cycle which reset automatically 90 minutes after being “Silenced” or acknowledged.

b. (2) Some alarms such as overloads and high pressure switches may require a manual reset depending on your model.

A history of the alarms (10 for AM units and 60 for AG units) is retained in nonvolatile memory (for

AM information, see 3.3.3 - Alarm History Log; for AG information, see 4.4.2 - Alarm History Log).

This section provides a definition of each available alarm. Troubleshooting suggestions are included.

Refer to 8.0 - Troubleshooting for more details. If you need assistance with your environmental control system, contact your Liebert supplier.

6.1

Standard Alarms

6.1.1 Change Filter

Periodically, the return air filters in the environmental units 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.

6.1.2 Compressor Overload

The control break compressor safety stats located internal to the Carlyle compressors are tripped when an overload condition occurs. When a Copeland compressor is used, an optional tri-block overload device can be used for each compressor. Compressor overload may be manual or automatic reset, depending on your model. Overload is located at the electric connection box on the compressor. Note that compressor #1 is the top compressor and compressor #2 is the bottom one.

6.1.3 Custom Alarms (Only With Advanced Controls)

Custom alarm messages are programmed at the LCD display. The alarms may be specified by the customer at the time of order. Additional devices and wiring may be required at the factory or by others. The message displayed may be included in this alphabetical list of alarms, or it may be customized text (for up to 2 alarms). If customized text is used, customer maintenance personnel should be informed of the alarm function and corrective action required.

6.1.4 High Head Pressure

Compressor head pressure is monitored with a pressure-sensing switch. One SPDT pressure switch is used for the compressor in the unit. If head pressure exceeds 360 PSIG, the switch turns off the compressor contactor and sends an input signal to the control. When the condition is acknowledged, the alarm is silenced. However, the pressure switch in the compressor compartment of the unit must be manually reset to clear the alarm, which will allow the compressor to start.

On air cooled systems, check for power shut off to the condenser, condenser fans not working, defective head pressure control valves, closed service valves, dirty condenser coils, and crimped lines. Also, make sure that when the compressor contactor is energized the side switch on the contactor closes to energize the control circuit on the air cooled condenser.

On water/glycol/GLYCOOL™ systems, check water regulating valves. Verify water/glycol flow (are 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 relay R5 operating during cooling to turn on the drycooler?

6.1.5 High Humidity

If the return air humidity has increased to the High Humidity Alarm setpoint, check the following: Is the unit setup for dehumidification (check DIP switch)? Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoor humidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air? Run diagnostics to make sure the cooling system is working properly (the cooling system dehumidifies).

6.1.6 High Humidity and Low Humidity (Simultaneously)

If these two alarms are displayed at the same time, the humidity input signal is lost. Dashes will be displayed for the humidity reading. The control system will deactivate humidification and dehumidification. Check for a disconnected cable or a failed sensor.

6.1.7 High Temperature

If the return air temperature has increased to the High Temperature Alarm setpoint, check the following: Are the setpoints correct? Is the room load more than the unit can handle (is the unit capacity too small)? Run diagnostics to make sure all cooling components are operating (compressor and/or valves).

6.1.8 High Temperature and Low Temperature (Simultaneously)

If these two alarms are displayed at the same time, the temperature input signal is lost (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.

6.1.9 Humidifier Problem

Infrared Humidifiers

This alarm is activated by the high water float switch (AM and AG controls only) in the humidifier pan assembly. The high water float switch is normally closed and opens upon alarm condition. Check for a drain clog and, if present, clean the drain. Check for float switch stuck in the on position, free or replace the switch. Check for proper operation of the humidifier water makeup valve.

Steam Generating (Canister) Humidifiers

This alarm is activated by a signal from the humidifier control indicating that the canister needs to be replaced.

6.1.10 Loss of Air Flow

A differential air pressure switch is used to indicate loss of air flow in Deluxe units.

Check for blockage of unit air outlet or inlet. Check blower motor fuses and overload reset. Check for broken belts. Make sure blower wheels are tight to shaft. Run diagnostics to see if the fan contactor is working properly.

6.1.11 Loss of Power

This alarm condition exists if the unit has lost power, or the disconnect switch was turned off before the unit ON switch was pressed (to turn the unit Off). This local alarm will occur when power is restored to the unit. A Liebert remote monitoring unit (optional) will immediately indicate loss of power.

6.1.12 Low Humidity

If the return air humidity has decreased to the Low Humidity Alarm setpoint, check the following: Is the unit setup for humidification (check DIP switch)? Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoor humidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air? Run diagnostics to make sure the humidifier system is working properly.

6.1.13 Low Suction Pressure

When the compressor is in cooling operation, a pressure switch monitors the suction pressure at the compressor inlet. When pressure drops below a factory preset point, the switch opens. After the positive start kit time delay, and the switch stays open for five minutes, the alarm is activated. The alarm stays active for ninety minutes.

Look for conditions that would cause loss of refrigerant. Check for piping problems such as leaks or crimped lines. Check for inoperative components such as liquid line solenoid valve, low pressure switch, expansion valve, and head pressure control valve. Check for closed service valves in the liquid line or at the condenser or receiver.

6.1.14 Low Temperature

If the return air temperature has decreased to the Low Temperature Alarm setpoint, check for proper setpoints. Run diagnostics to make sure all heating components are operating (contactors and reheats). Check to see if the reheats are drawing the proper current (see nameplate for Amp rating).

6.1.15 Main Fan Overload

An optional tri-block overload is required for this alarm, and may or may not replace the internal motor overload, depending on your model. The overload device is located next to the main fan contactor in the line voltage section. The alarm is activated when the overload is tripped.

6.1.16 Short Cycle

On compressorized systems, the compressor has exceeded 10 cooling starts in a one hour period, or the compressor has cycled 5 times in 10 minutes on the low pressure switch during non-cooling. This can be caused by low refrigerant level (but not low enough to activate Low Suction Pressure alarm) or a room cooling load that is small compared to capacity of the unit.

Check for leaks, crimped lines, and defective components. If room load is low, increase sensitivity to reduce cycling (Proportional Control). On GLYCOOL stats to cycle the compressor.

WARNING

Potentially lethal voltages exist within this equipment during operation. Observe all cautions and warnings on unit and in this manual. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified service and maintenance personnel should work with this equipment.

7.1.1 Environmental Control Functions

The performance of all control circuits can be tested by actuating each of the main functions. This is done by temporarily changing the setpoints.

Cooling

To test the cooling function, set the setpoint to a temperature 10°F (5°C) below room temperature. A call for cooling should be seen and the equipment should begin to cool. A high temperature alarm may come on. Disregard it. Return setpoint to the desired temperature.

Heating

Reheat may be tested by setting the setpoint for 10°F (5°C) above room temperature. A call for heating should be seen and the heating coils should begin to heat. Disregard the temperature alarm and return the setpoint to the desired temperature.

Humidification

To check humidification, set the humidity setpoint to a relative humidity 10% above the room humidity. For infrared humidifiers, all the infrared bulbs should come on. For steam generating humidifiers, you will immediately hear the clicks as it energizes. After a short delay, the canister will fill with water. The water will heat and steam will be produced. Return the humidity setpoint to the desired humidity.


Dehumidification can be checked by setting the humidity setpoint to a relative humidity 10% below room relative humidity. The compressor should come on. Return humidity setpoint to the desired humidity.

Proportional Heating/Cooling/ Dehumidification

On Chilled Water, GLYCOOL

™

(Econ-O-Cycle, Free Cool, GLYCOOLING cycle) models, and models with hot water reheat, the microprocessor is capable of responding to changes in room conditions.

These systems utilize either a two or three-way valve activated by a proportioning motor.

For cooling and dehumidification, the microprocessor will respond by positioning the valve proportionally to match the needs of the room. Full travel of the valve takes place within the range of the sensitivity setting. During dehumidification, full travel of the valve takes place within 2% RH.

For hot water reheat, the microprocessor will respond by positioning the hot water valve proportionally to match the needs of the room. Full travel of the valve takes place within 1°F with each 0.1°F resulting in 10% valve travel.

7.1.2 Electric Panel

The electric panel should be inspected for any loose electrical connections.

!

WARNING

Be sure that power to the unit is shut down before attempting to tighten any fittings or connections.

Control Transformer and Fuses

The control system is divided into four (4) separate circuits. Fuses located on the transformer/fuse board individually protect the control voltage circuits. If any of the fuses are blown, first eliminate shorts, then use spare fuses supplied with unit. Use only type and size of fuse specified for your unit.

The small isolation transformer on the main control board supplies 24 volts to the electronics. The transformer is internally protected. If the internal protector opens, the transformer/fuse board must be replaced. Also check the control voltage fuse on the main control board before replacing the transformer/fuse board.

Fan Safety Switch

For Deluxe units, the Fan Safety Switch is located in the low voltage compartment and consists of a diaphragm switch and interconnecting tubing to the blower scroll. The Fan Safety switch is wired directly to the control circuit to deactivate the unit and activate the alarm system if airflow is interrupted.

Firestat

The optional firestat is a bimetal operated sensing device with a Normally Closed switch. This device will shut down the entire unit when the inlet air temperature exceeds a preset point. It is connected between terminals 1 and 2 at plug P39.

Smoke Detector

The optional smoke detector power supply is located on the base of the upflow units, and at the top of downflow units. It is constantly sampling return air through a tube. No adjustments are required.

Water Detection Sensor

!

CAUTION

Do not use near flammable liquids or for flammable liquid detection.

Liebert manufactures a variety of water-detection systems, including point, zone and cable systems.

Follow the instructions supplied with your selected device for proper installation, adjustment and maintenance.

Remote Shutdown

A connection point is provided for customer-supplied remote shutdown devices. Terminals 37 and 38 on the terminal strip are jumpered when no remote shutdown device is installed. Refer to the unit’s electrical schematic and the unit’s installation manual.

7.2

Filters

Filters are usually the most neglected item in an environmental control system. To maintain efficient operation, they should be checked monthly and changed as required. Because replacement intervals vary with environmental condition and filter type, each unit is equipped with a filter clog switch. This warns of restricted airflow through the filter compartment by activating the Change Filter alarm.

• Turn power off before replacing filters.

• Deluxe filters can be replaced from either end by opening the end doors. On large chilled water units, filters can be replaced from the front. Removing the middle filters will allow you to remove the end ones. Install the new end filters first, then the middle ones.

• Replacement filters are commercially available in several efficiencies. For Deluxe units, refer to the Technical Data Manual or other documentation for filter sizes.

• After replacing the filter(s), test the operation of the filter clog switch. Turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise to trip the switch — this will energize the Change Filter alarm. To adjust the switch proceed as follows: With the fan running, set the switch to energize the light with clean filters. The unit panels must all be in place and closed to accurately find this point.

Then turn the adjusting knob 1 turn clockwise, or to the desired filter change point.

7.3

Blower Package

Periodic checks of the blower package include: belt, motor mounts, fan bearings, and impellers.

These units are manufactured with factory supplied adjustable motor sheaves. Due to variations in applications, a fixed motor pulley may be desired and can be substituted for the adjustable sheave after obtaining and confirming the desired air flow. This will reduce vibration and wear on the belts and pulleys. Consult the factory for more information.

7.3.1 Fan Impellers and Bearings

Fan impellers should be periodically inspected and any debris removed. Check to see if they are tightly mounted on the fan shaft. Rotate the impellers and make sure they do not rub against the fan housing.

Bearings used on the units are permanently sealed and self-lubricating. They should be inspected for signs of wear when belts are adjusted. Shake the pulley and look for movement in the fan shaft. If any excessive movement is noticed, bearings should be replaced. However, the cause of the wear must be determined and corrected before returning the unit to operation.

7.3.2 Belts

The drive belt should be checked monthly for signs of wear and proper tension. Pressing in on belts midway between the sheave and pulley should produce from 1/2" to 1" (12 to 25 mm) of movement.

Belts that are too tight can cause excessive bearing wear.

Belt tension is adjusted by raising or lowering the fan motor base. To adjust the motor, loosen (but do not remove) the four motor mounting bolts. Turn adjustment bolt(s) on motor mounting base to adjust belt tension or to raise motor to remove belts. Tighten motor bolts after adjustment. 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 belts, always be certain that motor base nuts are tightened. Loose mounts will produce vibration that may damage the unit.

7.3.3 Electronic Variable Speed Drive (Inverter)

On large Deluxe chilled water models an optional variable speed drive inverter is available. This packaged unit is factory set and should not require field adjustments. The variable speed drive saves power by reducing blower speed to match unit load. If you suspect a problem with the inverter, first make sure that the INTELLIGENT CONTROL method is selected at the microprocessor.

!

WARNING

For operator safety, the variable speed drive must not be programmed while power is connected to the motor.

Read all instructions before proceeding.

Only qualified service technicians should make changes to the variable speed drive programming.

1. TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE UNIT AT THE DISCONNECT.

2. Open the unit accent panel and electric box cover.

3. Find the main fan motor wires. These are connected to the motor overload relay in the high-voltage section of the electric box.

a. Mark motor wires to ensure they can be reconnected in the same order.

b. Disconnect motor wires at the load side of the motor overload relay.

c. Close the electric box cover.

4. Remove the right front vertical panel to gain access to the variable speed drive.

5. With the panel removed, restore power to the unit by turning the disconnect on.

6. Consult the factory for instructions on unlocking the keypad—the keypad is locked after factory programming of the variable speed drive parameters.

7. Consult the variable speed drive operation manual for instructions on accessing and changing the desired parameter settings.

8. Place the right front vertical panel back on the unit.

9. Reconnect the motor wires to the overload and close the electric box cover and unit accent panel.

10. Restore power at the disconnect

7.4

Refrigeration System

Each month the components of the refrigeration system should be inspected for proper function and signs of wear. Because evidence of malfunction is usually 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. Also inspect capillary and equalizer lines from the expansion valve and support as necessary.

Each liquid line has a sight glass that indicates liquid refrigerant flow and the presence of moisture.

Bubbles in the sight glass indicate a shortage of refrigerant or a restriction in the liquid line. The moisture indicator changes from green to yellow when moisture is present in the system.

7.4.1 Compressor Oil Level

There is a glass “bull’s eye” provided on each compressor (clearly visible when the end door is open) that permits viewing the oil level.

Normally, the oil level should be 1/2 to 3/4 up from the bottom of the sight glass. However, this level may vary during operation due to the action of the moving parts. When idle, the oil level may be higher due to absorption of the refrigerant.

After a compressor has been idle for an extended length of time, foaming will usually be present when the compressor first starts. Wait until the compressor has been operating for at least five minutes before viewing the oil level.

Refrigeration oil does not deteriorate with normal usage and does not need to be changed unless it becomes discolored or acidic. Periodically inspect the compressor compartment for signs of oil leakage.

If a leak is present, it must be corrected and the oil level returned to its proper level using Sunisco

3GS refrigerant oil. Take new oil from sealed containers opened at the time of use. Oil exposed to air will absorb moisture.

7.4.2 Suction Pressure

Suction pressure will vary with load conditions. The low pressure switch will shut the compressor down if suction pressure falls below the cut-out setting. On the other hand, high suction pressure reduces the ability of the refrigerant to cool compressor components and can result in compressor damage. Minimum (pressure switch cut-out setting) and maximum (design operating) suction pressures are listed in the following table.

7.4.4 Suction Superheat

Superheat can be adjusted by the Thermostatic Expansion Value (TEV).

To determine superheat:

1. Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point the TEV bulb is clamped.

2. Obtain the gauge pressure at the compressor suction valve.

3. Add the estimated pressure drop between bulb location and suction valve.

4. Convert the sum of the two pressures to the equivalent temperature.

5. Subtract this temperature from the actual suction line temperature. The difference is superheat.

7.4.5 Thermostatic Expansion Valve

Operation

The thermostatic expansion valve performs one function. It keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy load conditions. It does not effect compressor operation.

Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat. If too little refrigerant is being fed to the evaporator, the superheat will be high; if too much refrigerant is being supplied, the superheat will be low. The correct superheat setting is between 10 and 15°F (5.6 and 8.3°C).

52

DISCONTINUED

PRODUCT


Adjustment

To adjust the superheat setting, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the valve cap at the bottom of the valve.

2. Turn the adjusting stem counterclockwise to lower the superheat.

3. Turn the adjusting stem clockwise to increase the superheat.

NOTE

Make no more than one turn of the stem at a time. As long as thirty minutes may be required for the new balance to take place.

7.4.6 Hot Gas Bypass Valve

Operation

The hot gas bypass is inserted between the compressor discharge line and the leaving side of the expansion valve through the side outlet distributor (refer to Figure 7). The system, during normal operation, when the evaporator is under full load, will maintain enough pressure on the leaving side of the hot gas valve to keep the valve port closed.

If the load on the evaporator decreases, the evaporator will get colder. When the coil is too cold, the internal pressure in the evaporator drops and allows the hot gas bypass valve to open. Hot gas then mixes with the liquid coolant on the discharge side of the expansion valve, raising the temperature and pressure in the evaporator. The net result is a reduction in the cooling capacity of the unit to match the load.

Adjustment

Upon deciding what evaporator temperature is desired, the following procedure should be used to adjust the hot gas bypass valve:

1. Install the suction and discharge pressure gauge.

2. Turn thermostat to call for cooling so that the refrigeration compressor will run.

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.

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 will 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.

7.4.7 Air Cooled Condenser

Restricted airflow through the condenser coil will reduce the operating efficiency of the unit and can result in high compressor head pressure and loss of cooling.

Clean the condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit air flow. This can be done with compressed air or commercial coil cleaner. Check for bent or damaged coil fins and repair as necessary. In winter, do not permit snow to accumulate around the sides or underneath the condenser.

Check all refrigerant lines and capillaries for vibration isolation. Support as necessary. Visually inspect all refrigerant lines for signs of oil leaks.

Checking Refrigerant Charge (Lee–Temp™/ Flood Back Head Pressure Control)

The system refrigerant level must be periodically checked. This is easily done by the following procedure:

1. Adjust temperature setpoint in the unit so that the compressor will run continuously.

2. The refrigerant level is visible through two sight glasses on the receiver, and will vary with ambient temperature. a. 40°F (4.4°C) and lower – Midway on the bottom sight glass. b. 40 to 60°F (4.4 to 15.6°C) – Bottom sight glass should be clear with liquid. c. 60°F (15.6°C) and above – Midway on the top sight glass.

3. Return temperature setpoint to desired number.

7.4.8 Water/Glycol Cooled Condensers

Shell and Tube Condensers

Each water or glycol cooled module has a shell and tube condenser which consists of a shell, removable heads, gaskets and cleanable copper tubes.

It may be necessary to clean the copper tubing periodically to remove any scale or lime that should collect (periods between cleanings will vary with local water conditions). As deposits build up, a cleaning tool, available at any refrigeration supply house, should be used to clean the heat exchanger tubes.

1. Stop the unit (using the start/stop switch) and allow the compressor to pump down.

2. Open the disconnect switch.

3. Shut off the water supply valve to the condenser.

4. Drain the water from condensers and piping.

5. Remove the bolts securing each head and slowly pry them free.

6. Remove old gaskets and inspect sealing surfaces for pits and corrosion.

7. Swab the condenser tubes with a tube cleaning tool.

8. When the tubes are clean, reinstall the heads using new factory gaskets.

9. Consult factory for specific torque requirements.

10. Reconnect the piping, open water supply valve, vent the system and check for leaks.

Regulating Valves

The water regulating valves automatically regulate the amount of fluid necessary to remove the heat from the refrigeration system, permitting more water to flow when load conditions are high and less fluid to flow when load conditions are low. The valve consists of a brass body, balance spring, valve seat, valve disc holders, capillary tube to discharge pressure, and adjusting screw.

Adjustment (Johnson Controls/Penn Johnson valves)

The valves may be adjusted with a standard refrigeration service valve wrench or screwdriver. Refer to Table 16 for recommended refrigerant pressures.

To lower the head pressure setting, turn the square adjusting screw clockwise until the high pressure gauge indicates the desired setting.

To raise the head pressure setting, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise until the desired setting is obtained.

If your unit is equipped with valves from other manufacturers, please consult the factory.

Testing Function of Valve

First, turn off the refrigeration system.

When the refrigeration system has been off for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, the water flow should stop.

If the water continues to flow, the valve is either improperly adjusted (with head pressure too low) or the pressure sensing capillary is not connected properly to the condenser.

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 water-caused problems and their correction makes it important to obtain the advice of a water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled maintenance program.

Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the glycol system.

Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors. Do not mix products from different manufacturers.

Infrequently, a fault in the motor insulation may result in a motor burn. However, in a properly installed system, burnouts rarely occur. Of those that do, most are the effects of mechanical or lubrication failures, resulting in the burnout as a secondary consequence.

If problems that can cause compressor failures are detected and corrected early, a large percentage can be prevented. Periodic maintenance inspections by alert service personnel on the lookout for abnormal operation can be a major factor in reducing maintenance costs. It is easier and far less costly to take the steps necessary to ensure proper system operation than it is to allow a compressor to fail and require replacement.

When troubleshooting a compressor, check all electrical components for proper operation.

1. Check all fuses and circuit breakers.

2. Check Hi-Lo Pressure switch operation.

3. If a compressor failure has occurred, determine whether it is an electrical or mechanical failure.

Mechanical Failure

A mechanical compressor failure will not be indicated by a burned odor. The motor will attempt to run. If you have determined that a mechanical failure has occurred, the compressor must be replaced.

If a burnout does occur, correct the problem that caused the burnout and clean the system. It is important to note that successive burnouts of the same system are usually caused by improper cleaning.

Electrical Failure

An electrical failure will be indicated by a distinct pungent odor. If a severe burnout has occurred, the oil will be black and acidic.

In the event that there is an electrical failure and a complete burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, the proper procedures must be performed in order to clean the system to remove any acids that would cause a future failure.

NOTE

Damage to a replacement compressor caused by improper system cleaning constitutes abuse under the terms of the warranty, and the WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.

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.

Compressor Replacement Procedure

Replacement compressors are available from your Liebert supplier. They will be shipped in a reusable crate to the job site as required by the service contractor.

Upon shipping a replacement compressor, the service contractor will be billed in full for the compressor until the replacement has been returned to the factory.

The compressor should be returned in the same container used for shipping to the job. The possible damage causes or conditions that were found should be recorded by marking the compressor return tag.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.

3. Recover refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment. Use a filter-drier when charging the system with recovered refrigerant.

!

WARNING

Do not loosen any refrigeration or electrical connections before relieving pressure.

NOTE

Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and is unlawful.

Refrigerant must be recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

4. Front seat service valves to isolate the compressor. Reclaim charge from compressor.

5. Remove service valves, pressure switch capillaries, and disconnect all electrical connections.

6. Remove failed compressor.

7. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for clean out kits.

8. Install replacement compressor and make all connections.

9. Pressurize and leak test the system at approximately 150 PSIG (1034 kPa) pressure.

10. 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).

11. 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.

12. Apply power and operate the system. Check for proper operation. Refer to Table 16 for design pressures.

Humidifier

7.5.1 Infrared Humidifier

During normal humidifier operation, deposits of mineral solids will collect in the humidifier pan. This should be cleaned out periodically to ensure efficient operation. Each water supply has different characteristics, so time interval between cleanings must be determined locally. A monthly check (and cleaning if necessary) is recommended.

The humidifier pan is easily removed by draining the pan (remove the standpipe), disconnect the drain coupling, and removing the retaining screws on each end of the pan.

!

CAUTION

Before removing pan, be sure power to unit is disconnected and water in humidifier pan is no hotter than lukewarm.

Scale on the side and bottom can be loosened with a stiff brush. Flush with water and replace pan in humidifier.

An autoflush system can greatly increase the time between cleanings, but does not eliminate the need for periodic checks and maintenance.

7. Loosen two screws securing bulb wires to junction block.

8. Pull bulb straight down.

9. Replace bulb. Wrap wires once loosely around bulb. This will support the bulb and also allow for thermal expansion. Make sure lamp wires are secure in junction block.

10. Reverse steps 1-6 to reassemble.

Autoflush Infrared Humidifier Cleaning System

NOTE

To operate properly, the Autoflush Humidifier requires a water source that can deliver at least 1 gpm (0.063 l/s) with a minimum pressure of 20 psig (138 kPa).

The autoflush system will periodically flush the humidifier pan with water to prevent the buildup of water minerals due to saturation. Because water conditions vary, the amount of water flushing through the system may be programmed to match local needs.

Water amounts between 110% and 500% of the amount needed for humidification may be selected.

Operation of the flushing system is then automatic and no further adjustments need to be made.

Autoflush Operation

The operation of the autoflush is divided into four steps beginning with a call for humidification.

1. If the humidifier has not been activated for over 30 hours, the autoflush will flow water into the pan for about 30 or 60 seconds (based on the size of the pan). This will provide a minimum amount of water in the pan and prevent heat damage to the humidifier pan. Humidifier lamps are OFF.

2. If the humidifier has been activated within the last 30 hours, Step 1 is bypassed. The autoflush will flow water into the pan for about 4 or 7 minutes (based on the lengths of time between humidifier activations). The humidifier lamps are on and the humidifier is operational during this period. When the pan is filled (the fill cycle has timed out), the water make-up valve is closed.

3. The water make-up valve remains OFF and the humidifier lamps are on for a maximum of 8 to 10 minutes (based on the size of the pan).

4. After the 8 to 10 minute time delay, the autoflush adds water to the pan to replenish the water used in humidification and flush the pan of mineral solids. This amount of water is adjustable from 110% to 500% in increments of 10%. At the end of this cycle, the make-up valve is closed.

Steps 3 and 4 repeat as long as humidification is required.

7.5.2 Steam Generating Humidifier

The humidifier drains and refills to maintain a current setpoint and alert the operator when the humidifier canister needs to be replaced. The humidifier is located in the lower section of upflow units, and in the middle section of downflow units.

Figure 10 Steam generating humidifier

Operation

1. During start-up, when the humidity control calls for humidification, the fill valve opens and allows water to enter the canister. When the water level reaches the electrodes, current flows and the water begins to warm. The canister fills until the amperage reaches the setpoint and the fill valve closes. As the water warms, its conductivity increases and the current flow, in turn, rises. If the current reaches 115% of the normal operating current, the drain valve opens and drains some of the water out of the canister. This reduces electrode contact with the water and lowers the current flow to the amperage setpoint. 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 current setpoint 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 (84) 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.

4. After many cycles, 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 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.

5. Over a period of time (usually between 500 and 1500 hours depending on water quality), 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 and opening the humidifier contactor. At this point, all of the electrode surface has been used up and

the canister must be replaced

.

6. After the entire electrode surface has been coated, the output will slowly begin to fall off. This usually occurs in the last several hours of electrode life and should allow enough time to schedule maintenance. During these last hours, the mineral concentration can increase. If the mineral concentration is too high, arcing can occur. If the electrodes start to arc, turn off the humidifier immediately and replace the canister with the identical part.

Circuit Board Adjustments

!

WARNING

Circuit board adjustment should be performed by qualified personnel only. Hazardous voltages are present in the equipment throughout the procedure. Use extreme caution. If desired, power may be disconnected prior to the procedure.

NOTE

Numbers and percentages within parentheses ( ) in the following paragraphs refer to circuit board settings for downflow models FH599C, 600C, 739C and 740C.

Humidifier operation is governed by the humidifier control board. This board is located in the lower right area of the panel in the control section of the unit, or in the humidifier compartment on models

FH599C, 600C, 739C and 740C. There are two potentiometers mounted on the board. These pots can be used to adjust for extreme water conductivity conditions and capacity.

The “%” pot controls the amperage at which the drain will energize. The pot is clearly marked in percentages. This adjustment is factory set, which indicates that the unit will drain when the amperage falls off of the capacity setpoint. 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 pot marked “SEC” controls the duration of the drain cycle. The pot is clearly marked in seconds.

This adjustment is factory set at 60 (84) seconds and should not be readjusted without consulting your

Liebert supplier.

CAUTION

The DIP switches must be set exactly as indicated in Table 20. Failure to correctly set the

DIP switches may result in an electrical or water hazard.

The DIP switches are used to set the capacity of the humidifier. These are preset at the factory and should not be changed. Refer to Table 19 for the capacity of your unit. Find your unit voltage and capacity in Table 20 to determine the correct DIP switch settings for your humidifier. A potentiometer (R40) is used to regulate the capacity of the humidifier. This adjustment is factory set fully clockwise to 100%. It can be used to reduce humidifier capacity, but should never be used to raise the capacity above the capacity for your model. Turn the adjustment counterclockwise to reduce your capacity. The minimum setting is approximately 50% of the DIP switch setting.

Humidifier contactor not pulled in (to reset, deenergize control circuit)

Canister interface connections incorrect

Full isolation has broken down

Drain assembly not operating freely


Canister full circuit does not activate

Cylinder full. Interface activated.

Problem with fill water system

Humidifier amps reached 138% of full load

Mineral deposits obstruct drain valve

Faulty solenoid


Check connection on component plate in humidifier cabinet Terminal #1 on the square block interface device must be connected to L2 of the power terminal block. L2 must also be connected to the electrode closest to the steam outlet port.

Verify that the red wire from terminal #2 on the interface connects to the red top terminal on the canister. This is the one farthest from the steam outlet port and is the high water sensor probe.

Remove red canister full wire from canister. If normal operation resumes, canister must be replaced.

Remove the wire from terminal #3 on the interface. If normal operation resumes, canister full interface must be replaced.

Check and replace coil or valve if necessary.

Replace circuit board

Check wiring of canister full interface. Replace circuit board.

See similar symptoms above. Canister expired.

Replace canister.

Water supply is not on. Fill valve problem. Drain valve stuck open.

Canister expired. Replace canister. DIP switch settings changed with water in canister. Drain canister, call Liebert service.

Humidifier fill valve stuck open; check valve. Water conductivity too high; check water conductivity/quality.

Contact Liebert service.

Table 26 Humidifier—steam generator troubleshooting (continued)

Symptom

Excessive arcing in the canister

On cold start-up, canister fills, high water alarm activates and humidifier fails to reach full amperage after 24 hours

Possible Cause

Drain valve clogged or defective

Improper water supply

Insufficient drain rate

Excessive iron content in water

Conductivity of water too low

Fill solenoid not closing tightly

Check or Remedy

Verify that drain valve operates freely when activated.

Clean valve and replace coil or valve if defective.

Flush canister several times and replace if arcing persists

If water is commercially softened, reconnect humidifier to raw water supply, drain canister, and restart If connected to hot supply, reconnect to cold water.

Increase drain rate by adjusting % pot on circuit board above the preset 87% (85%) to roughly 92% (90%).

Analyze iron cement of water. If it exceeds 0.1 mg/l, install a filter to remove iron from water supply.

Turn the % pot to roughly 82% (80%). Restart humidifier. If canister fails to reach FLA in 24 hours, have water supply conductivity checked.

If humidifier returns to canister full condition, verity that the fill solenoid closes tightly.
