Important Safety Instructions

! WARNING
Risk of high temperatures, extreme cold and high-speed rotating fan blades. Can cause
equipment damage, injury and death.
Disconnect all local and remote electrical power supplies, confirm that all fan blades have
stopped rotating and allow the component temperatures to become safe for human contact
before opening doors and/or removing protective covers and working within.
If the doors are opened immediately after the Liebert CRV has been switched Off:
• some components, such as electrical heaters, compressor, outlet area and outlet piping, may
remain at high temperature about 212°F (100°C);
• some components, such as the evaporator, may remain at low temperature;
• fan blades may continue to rotate by inertia.
These residual risks are highlighted by warning labels on the Liebert CRV.

! WARNING
Risk of explosive discharge from high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause injury and death.
This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure. Relieve pressure before working with
piping.

! WARNING
Risk of hair, clothing and jewelry entanglement with high speed rotating fan blades. Can
cause equipment damage, serious injury or death.
Keep hair, jewelry and loose clothing secured and away from rotating fan blades during
operation.

! WARNING
Risk of top-heavy unit falling over. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death.
Verify that all lifting equipment is rated for the weight of the unit. See Tables 4 and 5 for
unit weights.
Read all of the following instructions before attempting to move, lift or remove packaging
from the Liebert CRV.

! CAUTION
Risk of sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners. Can cause injury.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear, gloves,
shoes and glasses should attempt to move, lift or remove packaging from the Liebert CRV or
prepare the unit for installation.
NOTICE
Risk of overhead interference. Can cause unit and/or building damage.
The unit may be too tall to fit through a doorway while on the skid. Measure the unit and
doorway heights and refer to the installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify
clearances.

NOTICE
Risk of improper storage. Can cause unit damage.
Keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from dampness, freezing temperatures and
contact damage.

Liebert® CRV™ 2
Important Safety Instructions

NOTICE
Risk of internal system corrosion and frozen coolant fluid. Can cause equipment damage and
major fluid leaks resulting in serious building damage, expensive repair costs and costly
system down time.
Cooling coils, heat exchangers and piping systems that are connected to open cooling towers
or other open water/glycol systems are at high risk of freezing and premature corrosion.
Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreeze and inhibitors to prevent freezing
and premature coil, piping and heat exchanger corrosion. The water or water/glycol solution
must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist before startup to establish
the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularly scheduled intervals
throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitor depletion.
The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required
treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.
Read and follow individual unit installation instructions for precautions regarding fluid
system design, material selection and use of field-provided devices. Liebert systems contain
iron and copper alloys that require appropriate corrosion protection. It is important to have
the system running with flow through exchangers maintained at initial system fill for 24 to 48
hours depending on size and system configuration.
Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors,
that reduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The
chemistry of the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may
contain corrosive elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation.
Sediment deposits prevent the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the
coolant system components and piping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and
circulating through the system continuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and
or growth of sulfate reducing bacteria.
Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.
Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.
Commercial ethylene glycol (examples are Dow Chemical Dowtherm SR-1 Union Carbide
Ucartherm and Texaco E.G. Heat Transfer Fluid 100), when pure, is generally less corrosive
to the common metals of construction than water itself. It will, however, assume the
corrosivity of the water from which it is prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with
use if not properly inhibited.

NOTICE
Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not leave the unit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows the collection of sediment that
prevents the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of tubes. Keep unit switched
on and system pump operating continuously.

NOTE
The Liebert indoor cooling unit has a factory-installed high pressure safety switch in the high
side refrigerant circuit. A pressure relief valve is provided with Liebert Lee-Temp™ condensers.
Consult your local building code to determine if the Liebert VFD condensers will require
field-provided pressure-relief devices. A fusible plug kit for Liebert VFD condensers is available
for field installation.

Piping

5.0 PIPING
All fluid and refrigeration connections to the unit, with the exception of the condensate drain, are
sweat copper. Factory-installed piping brackets must not be removed. Field-installed piping must be
installed in accordance with local codes and must be properly assembled, supported, isolated and
insulated. Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas, such as office walls and conference rooms.
Refer to specific text and detailed diagrams in this manual for other unit-specific piping
requirements.
All piping below the elevated floor must be arranged so that it offers the least resistance to airflow.
Careful planning of the piping layout under the raised floor is required to prevent the airflow from
being blocked. When installing piping on the subfloor, Emerson recommends installing the pipes in a
horizontal plane rather than stacked one above the other. Whenever possible, the pipes should be run
parallel to the airflow.

5.1 Fluid Connections

NOTICE
Risk of water leakage. Can cause severe property damage and loss of critical data center
equipment.
The Liebert CRV requires a water drain connection. The 600mm (24") model may require an
external water supply to operate the humidifier. Improper installation, application and
service practices can result in water leakage from the unit.
Do not locate the Liebert CRV directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.
Emerson recommends installing monitored leak detection equipment for the water supply
lines and the internal unit waterlines.

• Follow local piping codes, safety codes.
• Qualified personnel must install and inspect system piping.
• Contact a local water consultant regarding water quality, corrosion protection and freeze
protection requirements.
• Install manual shutoff valves at the supply and return line to each indoor unit and drycooler to
permit routine service and emergency isolation of the unit.

NOTICE
Risk of internal system corrosion and frozen coolant fluid. Can cause equipment damage and
major fluid leaks resulting in serious building damage, expensive repair costs and costly
system down time.
Cooling coils, heat exchangers and piping systems that are connected to open cooling towers
or other open water/glycol systems are at high risk of freezing and premature corrosion.
Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreeze and inhibitors to prevent freezing
and premature coil, piping and heat exchanger corrosion. The water or water/glycol solution
must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist before startup to establish
the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularly scheduled intervals
throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitor depletion.
The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required
treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.
Read and follow individual unit installation instructions for precautions regarding fluid
system design, material selection and use of field-provided devices. Liebert systems contain
iron and copper alloys that require appropriate corrosion protection. It is important to have
the system running with flow through exchangers maintained at initial system fill for 24 to 48
hours depending on size and system configuration.
Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors,
that reduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The
chemistry of the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may
contain corrosive elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation.
Sediment deposits prevent the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the
coolant system components and piping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and
circulating through the system continuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and
or growth of sulfate reducing bacteria.
Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.
Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.
Commercial ethylene glycol (examples are Dow Chemical Dowtherm SR-1 Union Carbide
Ucartherm and Texaco E.G. Heat Transfer Fluid 100), when pure, is generally less corrosive
to the common metals of construction than water itself. It will, however, assume the
corrosivity of the water from which it is prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with
use if not properly inhibited.

NOTICE
Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not leave the unit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows the collection of sediment that
prevents the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of tubes. Keep unit switched
on and system pump operating continuously.

Leak Checking of Unit and Field Piping


Liebert unit fluid systems are factory-checked for leaks and may be shipped with a nitrogen holding
charge. Liebert unit fluid circuits should be checked for leaks at installation as described below.
NOTE
During leak checking of field-installed piping, Emerson recommends that the unit be isolated
using field-installed shutoff valves. When the Liebert units are included in a leak test, use of
fluid for pressure testing is recommended. When pressurized gas is used for leak testing the
Liebert unit, the maximum recommended pressure is 30 psig (2 bars) and tightness of the unit
should be verified by pressure decay over time, (<2 psig/hour [0.3 bars/hour]) or sensing a
tracer gas with suitable instrumentation. Dry seals in fluid valves and pumps may not hold a
high gas pressure.

6.0 REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS FOR AIR-COOLED UNITS

! WARNING
Risk of explosive discharge from high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause injury or death.
This unit contains fluids and/or gases under high pressure.
Relieve pressure before working with piping.

NOTICE
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
The piping must not be open to the atmosphere for extended periods because the Liebert CRV
requires POE (polyol ester) oil. POE oil absorbs water at a much faster rate when exposed to
air than previously used oils. Because water is the enemy of a reliable refrigeration system,
extreme care must be used when opening systems during installation or service. If water is
absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed and will not be removed through the
normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may require an oil change. POE oils also
have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a refrigeration system. Maintaining
system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will tend to bring any foreign
matter back to the compressor.
The Liebert CRV can be connected to a condenser through either the top or bottom of the unit. The
unit is piped for connections at the top of the unit as shown in Figure 23, with provision for
connection through the bottom of the unit.
Connecting through the bottom of the unit requires cutting the liquid and suction lines as shown in
Figure 24. Cutting these lines disconnects the top connections from the rest of the refrigeration system.
Air-cooled units are shipped with a holding charge of nitrogen.

6.1 Piping Guidelines—Air-Cooled Units


• Indoor unit ships with a nitrogen holding charge; do not vent the evaporator until all refrigerant
piping is in place, ready for connection to the unit and condenser
• Use copper piping with high temperature brazed joints
• Isolate piping from building using vibration-isolating supports
• Refer to Tables 14 through 11 for piping sizes
• Refer to condenser installation manual for charging information
• Install traps on hot gas (discharge) lines at the base of vertical risers and every 15 feet (4.6m) of
vertical rise.
• See Table 10 for the allowable elevation difference between the condenser and the Liebert CRV.
• Consult factory if piping run exceeds 300 feet (91m) equivalent length
• Keep piping clean and dry, especially on units with R-410A refrigerant
• Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas
• Do not run piping directly in front of airstream of any air conditioner
• Refrigerant oil – do not mix oil types
Refer to ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook for general, good-practice refrigeration piping.

6.5 General Piping Layout


1. Piping must be Type ACR copper tubing and sized per Tables 14, 11, 15 and 11.

NOTE
All field-installed piping must comply with applicable national, state and local codes.

Use the shortest possible refrigeration pipelines to minimize the total charge of refrigerant and
the number of pressure drops.
2. Minimize the number of bends and make the bends the largest radius practical to prevent
constricting refrigerant flow.
3. Insulate the piping as specified in Table 9. If the pipes are installed next to electrical cables, they
must be isolated from the building using vibration-isolating supports to avoid damage to cable
insulation.
4. There must be at least one inch (25mm) separation between the gas and liquid pipelines. If this is
not possible, insulate both lines.
5. Support both horizontal and vertical pipes with vibration-damping clamps, which include rubber
gaskets. Place these clamps every 5 to 7 ft. (1.5 to 2m).

6.5.2 Piping Guidelines for Liebert MC and Fin/Tube Condensers


The following operations must be carried out by an experienced refrigeration technician.

NOTICE
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
The piping must not be open to the atmosphere for extended periods because the Liebert CRV
requires POE (polyol ester) oil. POE oil absorbs water at a much faster rate when exposed to
air than previously used oils. Because water is the enemy of a reliable refrigeration system,
extreme care must be used when opening systems during installation or service. If water is
absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed and will not be removed through the
normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may require an oil change. POE oils also
have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a refrigeration system. Maintaining
system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will tend to bring any foreign
matter back to the compressor.
1. When installing the refrigerant piping, note the following:
• Brazing:
• All joints must be brazed.
• Avoid butt brazes by using couplings or swaging one of the pipes with a swaging tool.
• Ensure that all brazed joints are leak-free.
• Flow dry nitrogen through the pipes during brazing.
• Always use large-radius curves (bending radius at least equal to pipe diameter). Bend the pipes
as follows:
• soft copper: bend by hand or use bending device;
• hard copper: use preformed curves.
• To minimize oxidation, avoid overheating the pipes when brazing.
2. Connect the pipes to the condenser:
• Condensers with butt-brazed pipe connections: Cut the pipe, enlarge it and braze it to the
pipeline.
Respect the direction of refrigerant flow. (See labels on refrigerant.)
3. Wash out the pipelines as follows:
a. Plug up the free ends of the pipes.
b. Connect a helium or nitrogen cylinder, fitted with a reducer (maximum pressure 10 bar), to
the 1/4" SAE Schrader valve of the condenser.
c. Pressurize the pipes with helium or nitrogen.
d. Unplug the pipes instantaneously.
e. Repeat Steps a through d several times.
This operation is especially important when hard copper piping is used.
4. Open all the shutoff valves on the room unit.
5. Discharge the room unit pressurized with helium (at 1 bar) by opening the charge valves so that
all the branches of the circuit are discharged (e.g., on the receiver, on the low pressure side and on
the compressor delivery).
6. Cut the spun-closed ends off the hot gas and liquid line connections on the Liebert CRV.
7. Fix (braze) the pipes to the connections on the air conditioner.
8. Air-Cooled Units—Connect the refrigerant safety pressure relief valve to the outdoors with a
5/8" (16mm) copper pipe if hot gas and liquid isolation valves are installed in the field.

NOTE
Not required on water/glycol units have a indoor relief valve.

6.6.1 Evacuation Air-Cooled Models—600mm (24") and 300mm (12")Models


Proper leak check and evacuation can be accomplished only with all system solenoid valves open and
check valves accounted for.

NOTE
The system include a factory-installed check valve and an additional downstream Schrader
valve with core in the compressor discharge line. Proper evacuation of the condenser side of the
compressor can be accomplished only using the downstream Schrader valve. See piping
schematic.

1. If unit power is available, open the unit liquid line solenoid valves using the evacuation function
for System #1 in the diagnostic section of the Liebert iCOM® control (see Figure 91). If unit
power is not available, a field-supplied 24VAC / 75VA power source must be directly connected to
the unit solenoid valve.
2. Connect refrigerant gauges to the suction rotalock valves and discharge line Schrader valves.
3. Open the service valves and place a 150 PSIG (1034 kPa) of dry nitrogen with a tracer of
refrigerant. Check system for leaks with a suitable leak detector.
4. After completion of leak testing, release the test pressure (per local code) and pull an initial deep
vacuum on the system with a suitable pump.
5. After four hours, check the pressure readings and, if they have not changed, break vacuum with
dry nitrogen. Pull a second and third vacuum to 500 microns or less. Recheck the pressure after
two hours. After completing this step, proceed to the appropriate section:

6.7 Calculating Charging Values for Liebert MC Condenser Systems, Units without
Liebert Lee-Temp™ Systems
The system must be fully piped and evacuated before it can be charged. See 6.6 Vacuum and
Refrigerant Charge.
Liebert MC condensers are charge-sensitive and require accurate calculation of the system charge to
avoid overcharging. To avoid overcharge, additional guidelines are recommended to ensure trouble
free operation.
• When charging system in an outdoor ambient below 50°F (10°C), recheck the subcooling against
Table 23 when the ambient is above 60°F (15.6°C)
• The indoor space should be maintained at 70 to 80°F (21 to 26.7°C) return air before final charge
adjustments are made.
• Charging unit at greater than 80°F (26.7°C) return air may result in the unit being overcharged.
• Charge by subcooling measurement at the indoor unit. See Table 23 for target subcooling
temperatures.
• Pressure and temperature measuring instruments should be capable of measuring to ±10 psig
(103.4kPa) and ± 2°F (1.1°C) for best subcooling measurement.
1. Check indoor nameplate for refrigerant type to be used. Unit control configurations differ
depending on refrigerant type.
2. Refrigerant charging requires unit operation. Refer to the indoor unit’s user manual for details
regarding indoor unit operation and to the Liebert MC user manual, SL-19536, available at the
Liebert Web site (www.liebert.com), for the Liebert MC condenser operation.
3. Calculate the amount of charge for the system. Refer to the indoor unit user manual and to the
condenser and refrigerant line charge data in the Liebert MC user manual, SL-19536, available at
the Liebert Web site.
4. Accurately weigh in as much of the system charge as possible before starting the unit. Do not
exceed the calculated charge by more than 0.5 lb (.37kg).

NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant R-407C and R-410A are blended refrigerants and must be introduced and charged
from the cylinder only as a liquid.
When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add the
refrigerant through the compressor suction service valve. Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the compressor. Emerson recommends connecting a sight glass between the
charging hose and the compressor suction service valve. This will permit adjustment of the
cylinder hand valve so that liquid can leave the cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the
compressor.

NOTICE
Risk of refrigerant overcharge. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not use the sight glass as an indicator when charging Liebert MC condenser systems.
5. Turn On the Liebert MC disconnect switch.
6. Turn on the indoor unit disconnect switch. Operate the unit for 30 minutes using the charging
function of the indoor unit control for each circuit of the system. The charging function is in the
diagnostic section of the Liebert iCOM® control (see Liebert iCOM user manual, SL-18835). The
charging function operates the compressor(s) at full capacity and energizes the liquid line
solenoid valve(s). The reheat and humidifier are disabled. Manual operation of the indoor fans
from the diagnostic menu of the Liebert iCOM is required. A minimum 20psig (138kPa) must be
established and maintained for the compressor to operate. The charging function can be reset as
many times as required to complete unit charging.
7. Attach pressure and temperature instruments to the liquid line of the indoor unit. Measure the
initial subcooling and continue to add charge until recommended subcooling for the current
outdoor ambient temperature is reached. See Table 23. The outdoor ambient can be read from
the Liebert MC condenser control menu ID F02.

Liebert® CRV™ 44
Refrigerant Connections for Air-Cooled Units

NOTE
To determine subcooling measurement, a liquid line pressure reading (at the factory-installed
Schrader tap) needs to be measured along with obtaining a temperature reading on the liquid
line. Convert the liquid line pressure reading into a temperature by utilizing a Pressure-
Temperature Guide or Table 25. The difference between this converted temperature and the
actual temperature will determine the system’s subcooling. For R-407C make sure to use the
saturated liquid temperature to calculate subcooling.

8. Verify the subcooling calculated from measured values at the evaporator against the subcooling
reading of the Liebert MC control [menu ID F50 & F51]. If the subcooling calculated with gauges
differs from the Liebert MC subcooling by more than 3°F (1.7°C), then adjust the charge amount
to achieve the target subcooling per Table 23 based the Liebert MC control subcooling. Failure to
check measured subcooling with refrigerant gauges vs. Liebert MC subcooling may result in an
overcharged system. See Note below and Table 24 for corrections to Liebert MC subcooling that
may be required based on condenser elevation above the indoor evaporator.
NOTE
The evaporator subcooling will be greater than the condenser subcooling when the Liebert MC
is mounted higher than the indoor evaporator. Subcooling adjustment is needed when the
Liebert MC is more than 40 ft. (12m) above evaporator.

NOTE
Subcooling should be viewed at the Liebert MC condenser for a minimum of 1 minute and the
subcooling should be approximately ±2°F before recording subcooling to be compared against
subcooling from the field refrigerant gauges and thermometers.

Sample Calculations
The Liebert MC is 40 ft. (12.2m) above the evaporator of an R-410A system. The outdoor ambient
from the Liebert MC condenser control menu ID F02, is 94.8°F (34.9°C). The liquid pressure is
421 psig (2903kPA) and the liquid temperature is 113°F (45.1°C). The subcooling from the
Liebert MC control is 7°F (3.9°C). Determine the subcooling and verify the calculated subcooling
against the reading of the Liebert MC control (menu ID F50 and F51).

6.8 Charging Fin/Tube Condenser with Variable Fan Speed Control


The system must be fully piped and evacuated before it can be charged. See 6.6 Vacuum and
Refrigerant Charge.
1. Check unit nameplate for refrigerant type to be used. Unit control configurations differ depending
on refrigerant type.
2. Charging the system with refrigerant requires the unit to be in an operational state.
3. Calculate the amount of charge for the system. Refer to the unit, condenser and refrigerant line
charge data in Tables 18, 19 and 21.
4. Weigh in as much of the system charge as possible before starting the unit.

NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant R-410A is a blend of two components and must be introduced and charged from
the cylinder only as a liquid.
When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add the
refrigerant through the compressor suction service valve. Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the compressor. Emerson recommends connecting a sight glass between the
charging hose and the compressor suction service valve. This will permit adjustment of the
cylinder hand valve so that liquid can leave the cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the
compressor.
5. Turn On unit disconnect switch. Operate the unit for 30 minutes using the charging function in
the diagnostic section of the Liebert iCOM® control (see Figure 91). The charging function
operates the compressor at full capacity and energizes the blower motor and the liquid line
solenoid valve. The reheat and humidifier are disabled. A minimum 20psig (138kPa) must be
established and maintained for the compressor to operate. The charging function can be reset as
many times as required to complete unit charging.
6. Charge the unit until the liquid line sight glass becomes clear, then add one additional pound
(2.2kg) of refrigerant.
NOTE
A digital scroll compressor will have a clear sight glass only when operating at 100% capacity.
When operating below 100%, the sight glass may show bubbles with each 15-second unloading
cycle.
7. As head pressure builds, the variable fan speed controlled condenser fan begins rotating. The fan
will run at full speed when sufficient head pressure is developed—fan starts to rotate at 310psig
(2137kPa) and is full speed at 400psig (2758kPa).

Water Connections for Water/Glycol Units—600mm (24") Models

7.0 WATER CONNECTIONS FOR WATER/GLYCOL UNITS—600MM (24") MODELS

NOTICE
Risk of internal system corrosion and frozen coolant fluid. Can cause equipment damage and
major fluid leaks resulting in serious building damage, expensive repair costs and costly
system down time.
Cooling coils, heat exchangers and piping systems that are connected to open cooling towers
or other open water/glycol systems are at high risk of freezing and premature corrosion.
Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreeze and inhibitors to prevent freezing
and premature coil, piping and heat exchanger corrosion. The water or water/glycol solution
must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist before startup to establish
the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularly scheduled intervals
throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitor depletion.
The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required
treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.
Read and follow individual unit installation instructions for precautions regarding fluid
system design, material selection and use of field-provided devices. Liebert systems contain
iron and copper alloys that require appropriate corrosion protection. It is important to have
the system running with flow through exchangers maintained at initial system fill for 24 to 48
hours depending on size and system configuration.
Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors,
that reduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The
chemistry of the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may
contain corrosive elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation.
Sediment deposits prevent the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the
coolant system components and piping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and
circulating through the system continuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and
or growth of sulfate reducing bacteria.
Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.
Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.
Commercial ethylene glycol (examples are Dow Chemical Dowtherm SR-1 Union Carbide
Ucartherm and Texaco E.G. Heat Transfer Fluid 100), when pure, is generally less corrosive
to the common metals of construction than water itself. It will, however, assume the
corrosivity of the water from which it is prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with
use if not properly inhibited.

7.3 Water Connections: Water/Glycol-Cooled Models


The unit must receive cooling water as follows:
•From an external cooling water source, in open circuit.
•Using a drycooler, in closed circuit.
1. Connect the piping as shown in 5.2 Refrigeration and Hydraulic Circuits.
2. Use hoses connected with three-piece joints to the condenser water inlet and outlet couplings.
3. Install a field-supplied16-20 mesh strainer on the water/glycol supply to the Liebert CRV. The
strainer is needed to prevent particles in the water from entering the unit’s heat exchanger.
4. Place shutoff ball valves at the conditioner inlet and outlet to allow easy maintenance.
5. Install a water drain system at the lowest point in the circuit.
6. Fully drain the piping before connecting it to the air conditioner.

7.3.1 Notes for Open-Circuit Applications


• Use the unit with mains or well water. Do not use water from an evaporative cooling tower unless
the water hardness is controlled.
• The water pressure must be 29-145psi (2-10 bar). If water pressure is outside this range, contact
Emerson for technical support.
• The required water flow at different temperatures is available from Emerson.
• If water temperature is very low, insulate both pipes.
7.3.2 Notes for Closed-Circuit Applications
• Install a pump system calculated on the basis of the flow and total head of the system (see site
plan data) and controlled by the compressor running (see label on the Liebert CRV).
• Insulate both pipes.
• Very important: Add water and ethylene glycol to the circuit when the ambient temperature is
below 32°F (0°C); refer to the Liebert CRV technical data manual, SL-11978). Do not exceed the
nominal operating pressure of the circuit components.
• Bleed air out of the circuit.

Risk of internal system corrosion and frozen coolant fluid. Can cause equipment damage and
major fluid leaks resulting in serious building damage, expensive repair costs and costly
system down time.
Cooling coils, heat exchangers and piping systems that are connected to open cooling towers
or other open water/glycol systems are at high risk of freezing and premature corrosion.
Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreeze and inhibitors to prevent freezing
and premature coil, piping and heat exchanger corrosion. The water or water/glycol solution
must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist before startup to establish
the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularly scheduled intervals
throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitor depletion.
The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required
treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.
Read and follow individual unit installation instructions for precautions regarding fluid
system design, material selection and use of field-provided devices. Liebert systems contain
iron and copper alloys that require appropriate corrosion protection. It is important to have
the system running with flow through exchangers maintained at initial system fill for 24 to 48
hours depending on size and system configuration.
Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors,
that reduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The
chemistry of the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may
contain corrosive elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation.
Sediment deposits prevent the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the
coolant system components and piping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and
circulating through the system continuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and
or growth of sulfate reducing bacteria.
Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.
Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.
Commercial ethylene glycol, when pure, is generally less corrosive to the common metals of
construction than water itself. It will, however, assume the corrosivity of the water from
which it is prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with use if not properly inhibited.

9.2.1 Power Supply Cable Connections


• Connect the cable to the line inlet terminal board.
• Use the appropriate cable size for the current draw, supply voltage and installation type.
• Protect the supply using a backup fuse or circuit breaker.
• Do not fit the supply cable in the raceways inside the unit’s electric board—600mm (24") units.
• Use only multipolar cables with sheath (CEI20-22).

Wiring Connections
• Remote On/Off connections must be provided by the installer.
• The General Alarm terminals allow remote alarm signalling.
In case of short circuit, check the affected switch for sticking and replace it if necessary.
See electrical data in Table 38.

9.3 Protective Features of the Electronically Commutated Fans—All Models


The EC fans are protected against:
• Overtemperature of electronics
• Overtemperature of motor
• Locked rotor protection
• Short circuit at the motor output
When any of these failures occurs, the motor stops, electronically, with no potential for separation,
and the status relay is released.
The unit does not restart automatic automatically. To reset the alarm, the power supply must be
switched Off for 20 minutes once motor is at standstill.
• Input power undervoltage detection:
If the utility power falls below 3ph/290VAC (typical value) for 5 seconds or longer, the motor is
switched Off, electronically, with no potential for separation, and the status relay is released.
When the utility voltage returns to a correct value, the motor restarts automatically.
• Phase failure recognition:
If one phase fails for 5 seconds or longer, the motor is switched Off, electronically, with no
potential for separation, and the status relay is released.
When all three phases return to correct values, the motor restarts automatically in 10 to 40
seconds.
The power supply for an external speed-setting potentiometer is protected against short-circuiting.
The motor is overload-protected via motor current limitation.

cause equipment damage, serious injury or death.
Keep hair, jewelry and loose clothing secured and away from rotating fan blades during unit
operation.

! WARNING
Risk of contact with rotating fan blades. Can cause injury or death.
The Liebert CRV’s fan blades will continue rotating after the unit is shut Off. Open all local
and remote electric power supply disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is
off and verify that the fan blades have stopped rotating before working on the unit.
To start the Liebert CRV:
1. Open all valves in the refrigeration circuit according to the instruction label attached to the valve.
2. W Models Only: Open all valves in the water circuit according to the instruction label attached
to the valve.
3. Ensure that the refrigerant charge is correct (see 6.0 Refrigerant Connections for Air-Cooled
Units).
4. Using a leak detector, verify that there are no refrigerant leaks. If any leaks are detected, repair
them and recharge as described in 6.0 Refrigerant Connections for Air-Cooled Units.
5. At least 4 hours before startup, close the main switch and the compressor switch on the electric
panel.
NOTE
The default setting for the Liebert iCOM® control is for stand-alone operation. The stand-alone
mode allows users to turn on the unit simply by rotating the main switch on the electrical
panel. The yellow LED on the Liebert iCOM will light after the unit is turned on because
electrical power is present.
If the LED does not light:
• check the electrical panel power supply
• check the protection devices (e.g., thermal switches)
• check the fuses.

10.3 Chilled Water Valve: Chilled Water 600mm (24") Models


The Liebert 600mm (24") chilled water unit comes with a two-way or three-way valve (see
Figure 17).
The valve controls the chilled water flow and operates as follows:
• When the valve is fully open (i.e., maximum chilled water flow), the actuator slot is set to “1.”
• When the valve is closed (i.e., no chilled water flow), the actuator slot is set to “0.”
The valve running time is set to the value specified in the control manual.

NOTE
In the event of control system failure, the valve can be manually controlled with the ball valve
handle. It can be used to drive the actuator into any position between 0 and 1.

10.4 Adjust Baffles to Direct Air Properly

! WARNING
Risk of electric shock and contact with high speed rotating fan blades. Can cause injury or
death.
Open all local and remote electric power supplies and verify with a voltmeter that power is Off
and verify that all fan blades have stopped rotating before working within the unit cabinet
and electric connection enclosures.
Ensure that the Liebert CRV is shut down and verify with a voltmeter that electric power has
been disconnected before beginning any work on the unit.
The Liebert CRV has been equipped with an adjustable, modular supply air baffle system. The baffles
should be adjusted prior to startup to direct air toward the racks the cooling unit is intended to
condition. Ideally, these should be the same racks the cooling unit is pulling hot air from. The baffles
can be readjusted at any time as cooling needs change.

Liebert® CRV™ 76
Startup

The Liebert CRV is shipped with the baffles in an alternating pattern to direct cold air left and right.
This configuration should be used when the cooling unit is located between racks. If a Liebert CRV is
installed at the end of a row, all the baffles should be adjusted to blow air down the cold-aisle, toward
the racks. The baffle segments at the top of the panel will direct more air than the segments at the
bottom. The supply air will travel the furthest when all baffle segments are pointed in the same
direction, left or right.

10.4.1 Adjust Baffles on 600mm (24") Models


To adjust the baffles on 600mm (24") models:
1. Open the door containing the Liebert iCOM® display.
2. Remove the two screws holding a baffle panel segment in place.
3. Slide out the baffle segment.
4. There is one screw on each side of the baffle, as shown in Figure 50. Remove the screws and
rotate the baffle segment around its horizontal axis to change the airflow direction.
5. Reinsert the baffle segment and reinstall the screws.

Liebert iCOM® Control

11.0 LIEBERT ICOM® CONTROL


The Liebert CRV is equipped with the most-advanced Liebert iCOM control system. The large Liebert
iCOM display is standard on the Liebert CRV.
Each Liebert CRV contains a return air temperature and humidity sensor, supply air temperature
sensor and three remote rack sensors. Up to an additional seven remote rack sensors can be added to
the sensor network. Each rack sensor takes two temperature readings and reports either the average
or the maximum temperature of the two sensors.
The 2T rack temperature sensors provide feedback to the cooling unit about the condition of the air
entering the server racks. This information allows the Liebert CRV to ensure it is providing just
enough cold air to each rack, virtually eliminating hot spots. Overcooling and excessive airflow are
avoided, greatly reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
Each Liebert CRV includes three 2T rack temperature sensors to monitor three racks. A total of ten
2T temperature sensors can be connected to each cooling unit to monitor every rack a Liebert CRV is
protecting. When multiple cooling units are connected in a Unit-to-Unit Liebert iCOM control
network, all sensor data is shared to optimize their performance as a system.
2T rack sensors can also be initially installed on empty racks reserved for future growth with the
control set to ignore these sensor readings. The extra 2T temperature sensor readings can also be
displayed on the local display and reported remotely for monitoring purposes only without the
readings affecting unit operation. This function provides users with a built-in mini-monitoring
system.

NOTE
Not all the commands and functions referred to in the Liebert iCOM sections of this document
will be available on all types of Liebert CRV units.
For instance, commands and functions relating to chilled water will not have a corresponding

11.3 Liebert CRV Operation—Liebert iCOM Control


The Liebert iCOM on the Liebert CRV leaves the factory with the fan speed and cooling capacity
controlled by the supply air sensor. This control mode ensures that that the Liebert CRV is delivering
precise cooling to the cold aisle.
Installing the remote rack sensors allows the fan speed and the cooling capacity to be decoupled. This
means that the fan speed can be controlled independently of the cooling capacity. In this
configuration, the Liebert CRV can control the discharge temperature of the unit by modulating
cooling capacity based on the supply sensor and use the remote rack sensors to ensure that cool air is
being delivered to the racks’ inlet. Using the supply and remote rack sensors in this decoupled mode
is the preferred method for controlling the Liebert CRV in a hot / cold aisle configuration. In addition
to this configuration, Emerson has provided additional flexibility for other applications shown in
Table 33.
In the Setpoint screen, the controlling temperature sensor (S102) can be set to either Supply, Return
or Remote. As the selection is changed from one sensor to another, the setpoint is displayed next to
the corresponding sensor on the illustration, showing the sensors placement in relation to the
Liebert CRV.

11.3.1 Entering a Password


Changing the value of a parameter in a menu requires the password for that menu. Each menu—
User, Service and Advanced—has a unique password to prevent unauthorized changes.
The User menu password is 1490; the Service menu password is 5010.

NOTE
Entering the Service menu password permits access to both the User and Service menus;
changes can then be made to parameters in either level.

To enter a password:
1. Navigate to the menu that contains the parameter to be changed.
2. Select Password in the submenu by pressing the Enter key
3. Press the Enter key to move your cursor to the right side of the screen to select the question
marks.
4. Use the arrow keys to enter the numeral for the password's first digit (the Up arrow key moves
from 1 to the next digit).
5. Use the Right arrow key to move to the next question mark and repeat using the arrow keys to
enter the numerals in the password.
6. After entering the password, press Enter.
If the password is correct, the Actual Level, shown to the right of Password, will change from 0 to 1 or
2. The menu will remain locked at Level 0 if the password was incorrect.

NOTE
Returning to the Status menu will require re-entering a password to make changes.
Temperature and fan control sensor settings are based on user preference. The temperature and
fan control settings are made in the Service Menus, Setpoints (refer to Figure 63). Use
Table 33 and the steps below as a guideline.

1. Set S103 Temperature Control Sensor to the desired sensor type.


2. Set S125 Fan Control Sensor to the desired sensor type.
3. Set the humidity setpoint to 45% with a 10 to 20% deadband.
This will control the moisture content well inside the AHSRAE standard.
4. Set S102 Temperature Setpoint to the desired value.
5. Adjust S125 Fan Delta as needed. If the control is running in coupled mode, per Table 33, S125
will be masked out. This is because the fan and temperature settings are the same and both will
be controlled by S102. If the unit is operating in a decoupled mode, S125 is used to establish the
fan setpoint. The fan delta works like this: (S102 Temperature Setpoint) + (S125 Fan Delta) = Fan
Control Setpoint. The fan control setpoint can be viewed in the User menus, Sensor Data, line
U303.

Liebert® CRV™ 94
Liebert iCOM® Control

Supply Control
If 75°F (24°C) server entering air temperature is desired at the rack inlet, the supply air must be
colder to account for any thermal pickup of the air as it flows to the cold aisle. If this does not achieve
the cold aisle temperature setpoint, then set the supply sensor setpoint lower. Continue adjusting the
supply sensor until the cold aisle temperature setpoint is achieved.
The supply temperature setpoint may require adjustment because it will be dependent on the
distance of the Liebert CRV to the racks being cooled. This temperature will also be dependent on
rack blanking panels, server population and whether the racks are in a containment system.
Controlling sensor settings shows the flexibility of the Liebert CRV and how the different sensor
configurations can be used to control the Liebert CRV fan speed and cooling capacity. See Table 33
for more information on the different coupled and decoupled modes available with the Liebert CRV.

11.3.2 Cooling
The cooling control of the Liebert CRV can be managed from any of the temperature sensors. See
Table 33 for applicable control sensor combinations. The Liebert CRV controls cooling output by
monitoring a temperature control sensor, set on line S103, compared to the user programmed
temperature setpoint on either line U202 or S202. The degree of cooling is determined by the
temperature control band.
The temperature control band is established using the following formula and control lines:
(S102 Temperature Setpoint) + (1/2(S105 Temperature Deadband) + (S106 Temperature Control Band)
As the temperature sensed by the temperature control sensor deviates from the setpoint on the
control band, cooling is staged On. S107 Cooling integration time works with the cooling control band
to maintain tight temperature control.

Figure 67 Service Menu Setpoint screen for Cooling

Emerson recommends using the supply temperature sensor to control the cooling capacity of the
Liebert CRV. The supply temperature is an accurate representation of the actual heat rejection the
Liebert CRV needs to perform at an optimal level. A chilled water Liebert CRV will modulate the
cooling capacity from 0% - 100% and the DX version of the Liebert CRV will modulate the cooling
capacity of the unit from 10% -100% compressor capacity.
To avoid short-cycling the compressor during room heat load changes, the Liebert CRV will not
deactivate the compressor until the air temperature is below 150% of temperature control band.

95 Liebert® CRV™
Liebert iCOM® Control

11.3.3 Fan Speed


The heating control is active only when the unit is in dehumidification mode. The reheats will begin
activation when the control temperature has dropped to -66% of the control’s proportional band and
will deactivate when the temperature setpoint has been reached. The heating proportional band is
established using the following formula and control lines:
S102 Temperature Setpoint + (1/2 * S105 Temperature Deadband) + S108 Heating Proportional Band = heating
control band.
S109 Heating integration time works with the heating control band to stage reheat and maintain
tight temperature control. The items that make up the heating control band can be viewed and
adjusted in the Service menus, Setpoints.

Figure 68 Service Menu Setpoint screen for Fan Speed

11.3.4 Air Flow


The Liebert CRV's airflow can be controlled manually or dynamically by temperature sensors.
Manual Fan Control: Cooling off supply, remote, or return sensor are permitted in manual fan
speed control. Manual control of the Liebert CRV’s fan speed can be achieve in two ways:
• Manually setting the fixed speed at the local display OR
• Remote monitoring
To control the fan manually using either method, locate Service menus, Setpoints, line S124 Fan
Control Type. The factory default is Auto with an alternative selection of Manual. S124 must be set
as Manual before a manual fan setpoint point can be programmed. With the fan control type set for
Manual, the fan speed may be set from 50% to 100% at the local display using S130 Fan Speed
Manual Setpoint. A Liebert IntelliSlot® card or other Liebert site monitoring integration is required
for remote fan control.Visit www.Liebert.com for more information about Liebert monitoring
products. A list of monitoring points is available in document SL-28170 (Liebert IntelliSlot® Modbus

Temperature Sensor Control: Fan temperature control uses the factory-equipped return, supply or
remote sensors. See Table 33 for applicable control sensor combinations. When operating the fan in
coupled mode, the fan speed follows the call for cooling to reach the temperature setpoint. When the
fans are operating in a decoupled mode, the fans are ramped following the fan control band to achieve
the fan setpoint. The fan setpoint is a calculated value found on line U303 of the User menus, Sensor
Data. U303 is established by lines located in Service menus, Setpoints.
Here (S102 Temperature Setpoint) + (S125 Fan Delta) = Fan control setpoint. As the temperature
sensed at the fan control sensor (S125) deviates from setpoint (U303), the fan modulates between
50 and 100% according to the fan control band. Fan speed increases as the temperature deviates
further from setpoint. The inverse happens as the controlled temperature gets closer to setpoint. The
fan control band is established by using the following formula and control lines:
(U303 Fan Setpoint) + (S128 Fan Control Band)
S129 Fan speed integration time works with the fan control band to slowly speed or slow down the fan
to maintain tight fan control.
Emerson recommends controlling the fan speed using the remote rack temperature sensors. The
remote rack sensors are an accurate representation of the delivery of the Liebert CRV’s discharge air
and help ensure that cold aisle temperature is maintained. The Liebert iCOM will ramp fan speed to
100% during a call for reheat or humidification. On DX models of the Liebert CRV, a unique freeze
protection algorithm will increase fan speed if the compressor pressure gets too low. This feature
increases system reliability and helps to provide partial cooling if a low side refrigerant issue occurs.
In a single fan fails, the Liebert CRV will ramp the remaining operating fan to 110% of its rated
output to compensate for the loss of airflow. In addition, an alarm will report which fan failed.

11.3.5 Humidification
The Liebert CRV’s humidification is activated when the measured temperature and humidity sensor
has been calculated to exceed the corresponding dew point setpoint. The dew point setpoint is
calculated based on the temperature and humidity of the sensor set to control the control setpoint and
relative humidity.

Figure 70 Service menu setpoint screen for humidification

Example: Temperature Setpoint 72°F / Humidity Setpoint 50% = 52°F Dew Point

NOTE
The Liebert iCOM control monitors the condition of the air discharging from the unit to protect
neighboring electronic equipment. Liebert iCOM will prevent the humidifier from activating if
the discharge air is near its saturation point. This protects against discharging fog from the
unit or condensation forming on the unit’s supply air baffles. This protection mode is activated
when the supply sensor reading is below 53°F (11.7°C) or above 55% relative humidity. When
this condition is met, a message will display showing “humidifier” suspended.

The status of the humidifier lockout can be viewed in the Service/Diagnostics menu.
These protections do not apply to the external humidifier output.

www.liebert.com for the latest Liebert iCOM user manual updates.

Figure 81 Service menus—Setpoints parameters screen - Page 1

S102 Temperature Setpoint—Selects a temperature that the cooling unit will maintain by
applying cooling and or reheats. This parameter is adjustable from 45-104°F (7.2-40°C). The factory
default setting is 68°F (20.0°C).
S103 Temperature Control Sensor—Designates which sensor will drive the compressor capacity.
• Settings:
• Supply Sensor
• Remote Sensor
• Return Sensor
If S103 and S125 are set to equal values, this is called coupled. In that case, compressor capacity
and fanspeed work in parallel (based on one control output), driven by the same control
parameters.
If S103 and S125 are set to different values, this is called decoupled. In that case, the compressor
capacity and the fanspeed work on different control circuits, each with its own control parameters
and control outputs.
S104 Temperature Control Type—Selects the type of control the system will use to activate
cooling, heating, humidification and dehumidification. A detailed description of each control type can
be found in Supply Control on page 95.

105 Liebert® CRV™


Liebert iCOM® Control

S105 Temperature Deadband—This parameter can be set to avoid overshooting of the setpoint and
cycling between the reheats and cooling. The value entered into this field will be split in half by the
temperature setpoint. Example: If the temperature setpoint is 70°F (21.1°C) and a 4°F (2.2°C)
deadband is set, then no cooling will be activated until 72°F (22.2°C) and no heating will be activated
until 68°F (20°C) is reached.
S106 Cooling Proportional Band—Adjusts the activation points of compressor or chilled water
valve. The cooling proportional band adjusted the rate of change based on the actual sensor value’s
deviation from setpoint. The smaller this number, the faster the compressor valve will increase
capacity. Too small of a number may cause the unit to short cycle the compressor or excessively
reposition the valve.
S107 Cooling Integration—Cooling integration takes into consideration the time the actual
temperature has deviated from the setpoint. The longer this deviation exists, the more corrective
action the unit will use to achieve the setpoint.

Figure 82 Service menus—Setpoints parameters screen - Page 2

S113 Humidity Setpoint—Selects a humidity that the cooling unit will maintain by removing or
adding moisture to the air. This parameter is adjustable from 20-55%. The factory default setting
from the factory is 45%.
This setting is automatically updated when S103 Controlling Sensor is changed.
• IF _S103 (TempSensTy) == 0 (Supply) THEN set = 45%
• IF _S103 (TempSensTy) == 1 (Remote) THEN set = 45%
• IF _S103 (TempSensTy) == 2 (Return) THEN set = 25%
S114 Humidity Control Type—Selects the humidity control calculation. It can be set to
“Proportional” or “PI” (proportional/integral) only. The Liebert CRV assumes the current humidity at
the control sensor by calculating the return air dew point, and then taking the temperature setpoint
of the selected cooling sensor (S103) as a reference to recalculate the humidity.
S115 Humidity Deadband—This parameter can be set to avoid overshooting of the setpoint and
cycling between humidification and dehumidification. The value in this field will be split in half by
the temperature setpoint. Example: If the humidity setpoint is 50% and a 4% deadband is set, then no
humidity control will be activated between 48% and 52%.
S116 Humidity Proportional Band—Adjusts (1- 25%) the activation points of the humidifier and
compressors based on the actual sensor values deviation from setpoint. The lower this value the faster
the compressors and humidifier will increase capacity. A value that is too small may cause the unit to
short cycle or overshoot setpoint.
S117 Humidity Integration Time—Adjusts the capacity of the unit based on time away from
setpoint (0 - 25 minutes) so that accurate humidity control can be maintained. This parameter is
active only when Control Type is set to “PI.”
S118 Dehum Proportional Band—Adjusts the activation points of dehumidification based on the
actual sensor values deviation from setpoint. The lower this number the faster the compressors and
humidifier will increase capacity. A value that is too small may cause the unit to short cycle or
overshoot its setpoint.

Liebert® CRV™ 106


Liebert iCOM® Control

S119 Dehum Integration Time—Adjusts the capacity of the unit based on time away from setpoint
(0 - 25 minutes) so that accurate humidity control can be maintained. This parameter is active only
when the control type is set to “PI.”
S120 Dehum/Heat Low Limit 1—Sets the temperature at which the compressor will be deactivated
for dehumidification control. Example: If Low Limit 1 is set to 4°F (2.2°C) and the temperature setpoint
is 70°F (21.1°C), then dehumidification will turn Off at 66°F (18.8°C).
S121 Low Limit 1 Reset—The Low Limit is reset - when set to 2.0K, dehum will be allowed to
restart at 20.8°C (18.8 + 2, using the example in the manual). This parameter controls when the
temperature has increased enough to re-enable dehumidification.

Figure 83 Service menus—Setpoints parameters screen - Page 3

S124 Fan Control Type—Sets how the fan speed will be controlled. Setting this parameter to Auto
mode=0 will allow the Liebert CRV to drive the fan based on the temperature sensor selected for
sensor control type. Setting this parameter to Manual mode=1 allows the Liebert CRV to be set to a
fixed fan speed either through the local display or through a building management system.
S125 Fan Control Sensor—Selects which sensor will drive the Liebert CRV fans when set to Auto
mode for the fan control type [0 = Supply Sensor, 1 = Remote Sensor or 2 = Return Sensor].
S126 Fan Regulation Type—Sets the fans’ control type. It can be set to 0 = Proportional control,
which will modulate the fans linearly based on the deviation from the setpoint. Also it can set to
1=Proportional integral control, which is also available and works in the same manner as the
temperature control integral term.
S127 Fan Delta—Sets the fanspeed setpoint. The delta accounts for the temperature rise from the
Supply Air Sensor and the Remote Rack sensors by adding the Fan Delta to the Temperature
Setpoint (S102). This eliminates the possibility of setting the remote rack temperature setpoint lower
than the supply temperature setpoint.
S128 Fan Speed Proportional Band—Adjusts the fans rate of change based on the actual sensor
values deviation from setpoint or the delta. The smaller this number the faster the fan will increase
its speed. Too small of a number may cause the fans to excessively reposition.
Note that the Fanspeed Speed Proportional Band parameter can be set to Auto and decoupled.
S129 Fan Speed Integration—Adjusts the fanspeed of the unit based on time away from setpoint.
The setting is applied only to decoupled modes (refer to Table 33).
NOTE
The fanspeed settings S126 to S129 apply only to decoupled modes. When coupled, all values
disappear and have no effect.
S130 Fan Speed Manual Setpoint—Sets the speed of the fans when the unit is placed into Manual
Fan Speed Control mode [0-100%].
S131 Fan Speed STD—Sets the maximum fan speed of the unit under normal operating
circumstances (0-100%).
S132 Fan Speed Min—Sets the lowest fan speed operation of the unit [0-100%].
S133 Fan Speed Dehum—Sets the fan speed the unit will operate at during a call for
dehumidification (0-100%). The fan speed will position to the highest requirement. If the call for fan
speed from the remote rack sensor is requesting more air volume than the Dehum fan speed, then the
fans will run at the remote sensor’s fan speed request.

S135 MIN at CFC for EC Fan—Provides an offset to the minimum fan speed at the minimum call
for cooling. When set to 0 / 100 the MIN speed is reached when the call for fan is at 0%; the STD speed
is reached when the call for fan reaches 100%.
For example, if the minimum is set to 20 and the standard is set to 90, the fan speed MIN is reached
earlier (the fan operates on lower speed compared to the calculated call for fan), and the STD speed is
reached faster when compared to the calculated call for fan.
S136 STD at CFC for EC Fan—Provides an offset to the minimum fan speed at the minimum call
for cooling. When set to 0 / 100, the MIN speed is reached when the call for fan is at 0%; the STD
speed is reached when the call for fan reaches 100%.
S137 High Temp Limit Approach—Sets the sensor that controls the fan speed maximum override.
This can be set to 0 = Disabled, 1 = Supply Sensor and 2 = Return Sensor.

NOTE
The Liebert CRV fans are oversized and can be used to help protect equipment in emergency
situations, such as high temperature and a single fan failure.

S138 High Temp Limit Approach at—Sets the temperature (0 - 10°F) when the units fan speed
can operate above the maximum speed.
Defines a temperature differential below the High Supply or Return Temp Limit where the fan speed
would increase from Fanspeed Setpoint STD to Fanspeed MAX, which is defined on _A146 Analog

The next maintenance calculation, will help keep the cooling unit running at peak performance to
ensure minimum component stress and maximum reliability.
If the unit includes any of the following components, they are included in the calculation:
• Fan(s)
• Compressor 1
• Electric Heaters
• Humidifier
For each component, the next maintenance will be calculated from the following parameters:
• Standard service interval (1, 2 or 4 times a year) (to be set)
• Working hours (counted)
• Number of starts (counted)
• Average running time (calculated)
• Optimum number of starts per hour (to be set)
• Maximum number of starts per hour (to be set)
• Maximum bonus to enlarge time to next maintenance (to be set)
• Maximum penalty to reduce time to next maintenance (to be set)

11.7.1 Calculating Unit Wellness


The Liebert iCOM keeps tabs on the condition of a cooling unit, determining its condition and
projecting when service will be needed for the entire unit as well as for individual components. This
assists in scheduling maintenance calls and helps pinpoint components likely to require service.
Liebert iCOM displays a graphic for needed maintenance. It begins with the standard maintenance
interval—12 months, six months or three months—and adjusts that based on its calculation of
components’ condition.
To calculate a unit’s condition, the Liebert iCOM keeps a running total of component working hours
and the number of times it has been started. Liebert iCOM relates that data to the
optimum/maximum starts per hour. Accordingly, Liebert iCOM will increase or decrease the time
before the next service call will be needed.
The more frequently a component starts, the sooner it is likely to need maintenance. If, for example, a
unit’s fan runs continuously but it’s compressor starts and stops often, Liebert iCOM records that and
calls for maintenance based on the compressor’s wellness factor.
Alarms and warnings, such as clogged filters or high or low pressure, reduce the time until the next
maintenance to zero. If the alarm is cleared and reset, Liebert iCOM recalculates the unit’s condition.
It begins with the pre-alarm maintenance time and factors in the alarm.

S403 Low Pressure Alarm Delay—Sets the length of time that the unit will ignore a low pressure
condition. This parameter has also been referred to as a Winter Start Time. This parameter permits
the Liebert iCOM to ignore the low pressure transducer reading during low outside temperatures. It
allows refrigerant pressure to build and avoids nuisance low pressure trips. This parameter can be set
between 0 to 5 minutes.

66% (factory default)
S408 Water Detector—Three selections are available:
• No = No water Detector
• LWD = Selection provided for the Liebert LWD (Leakage Water Detector). A device that senses
water by means of electrical resistance. Not available on units manufactured by Liebert North
America.
• LQTECH = Selection provided for the Liebert Liqui-tect® (LT410 OR LT460). See the Liebert
Liqui-tect user manual, SL-31000, available at Liebert’s Web site (www.liebert.com) for
connection/configuration details.
S409 Water Detector Function—allows to set the activity when water is detected
• Alarm: Activates the WATER UNDER FLOOR, no further action.
• Lockhum: Activates the WATER UNDER FLOOR and locks the humidifier out.
• Shutdown: Activates the WATER UNDER FLOOR and shuts the unit down.
S410 3P Actuator Runtime—If Valve Control is selected for Time, then this parameter sets the
travel time of the valve to determine the full open and closed position of the valve. This setting is
made at the factory based on the valves manufacturer specifications.
S411 3P Actuator Direction—Selects if the valve is a Direct or Reverse acting valve.

S413 WA and AL Relay—Defines if the relays are normally On (and fall to Off in case of an event) or
normally Off (and change to On in case of an event).
S419 Dehumidification Enabled—Selects whether the compressor or valve will be used to
dehumidify when the humidity is above the setpoint.
S420 Auto Restart Enabled—This parameter, when set to YES, restarts the unit after a power
cycle. When this parameter is set to NO, then the unit will not restart (Turn On) after a power cycle.
S421 Single Unit Auto Restart—Sets a time delay for the unit to restart when the Auto Restart
Enabled is set to YES. The delay, adjustable from 0-999 seconds, begins once the boot process has
completed. This parameter allows units to be staggered On to reduce the amount of simultaneous
power consumption after a loss of power.
S422 On-Off Enabled—Disables the power button on the front of the display. Prevents the user
from turning Off the equipment from the User or System view. When this parameter is set to Off and

S424 Chilled Water Quick Start—Can be enabled only for chilled water units. This function allows
to restart a Liebert CRV after a power cycle within approximately 10 seconds.
During quick start, the control is not active. The digital output for the fan activates, the fan speed
operates on the voltage selected on S426 and the chilled water valve opens to the voltage set in S427.
When quick start is enabled:
• S425 Fan Digital Output P2-3 changes to On (cannot be changed by the user)
• S426 Fan Analog Output P14-1 changes to 7.5V (can be changed by the user)
• S427 Valve Analog Output P14-3 changes to 7.5V (can be changed by the user)
After each power cycle, the Liebert CRV will adjust fan and cooling output according to the
settings on lines S426 and S427. These user-defined settings will override the actual call for fan
and cooing until the delay set on S428 has elapsed.

Operation in Teamwork Mode

12.0 OPERATION IN TEAMWORK MODE

12.1 Unit-to-Unit Network Wiring


Liebert CRV's can be connected in a unit-to-unit, or U2U, configuration, which allows multiple units
to communicate with each other, sharing of local unit status and sensor readings. The U2U network
will allow up to 32 units to be connected within a single group and up to 99 different groups to exists
on the same physical network. Groups can be used to create zones of influence so that only the Liebert
CRV's serving a common area will work together and back each other up.
The U2U setup unlocks the use of Lead-Lag/Rotation, Cascade and Teamwork Modes 1, 2 and 3
Lead-lag/rotation allows a standby Liebert CRV to activate based on an alarm or on a rotation
based on time.
Cascade provides staging of the Liebert CRV's based on the actual temperature and its relation to
the temperature setpoint.
Teamwork Modes 1, 2 and 3
• No Teamwork: All units operate independently; using their local sensors.
• Teamwork Mode 1 (Parallel): All units use a shared temperature PI value for heating/cooling
control and a shared humidity PI for humidification/dehumidification.)
• Teamwork Mode 2 (Independent) Avoid units performing conflicting operations. For example: (a)
units are not allowed to heat if other units are cooling, and (b) units are not allowed to humidify if
other units are dehumidifying.
• Teamwork Mode 3 (Smart Aisle) All units use a shared fan speed PI value; and drive cooling from
local sensors.

12.2 Liebert iCOM U2U Ethernet Network


The Liebert iCOM U2U network must be isolated from other network traffic. The network switch(es)
that connect Liebert iCOM controls must be dedicated to supporting only Liebert iCOM
communication. The U2U network cannot be connected to the building or IT network. If U2U
communication is lost, all Liebert iCOM-controlled cooling units will continue to operate as
independent units.
The Liebert iCOM control can support up to 64 nodes on one network. An input/output board, large
display and large wall-mount display are each considered one node. Of the 64 nodes that may be
connected, no more than 32 may be input/output boards (32 cooling units).
Network communication can be configured during system startup by a Emerson-trained technician.

12.3 Wiring a Liebert iCOM U2U Network


A network switch is required to enable Ethernet unit-to-unit communication on one or more Liebert
CRV's. Each Liebert CRV requires two straight-through Ethernet cables from a network switch. One
cable connects to port P64 on the Liebert iCOM input/output board and the other straight-through
cable connects to the P64 port on the back of the large display (see Figure 117).

Wall-Mount Large Display


The Liebert CRV has a large display as standard equipment. Only large displays may be used for
remotely monitoring and controlling cooling units connected on the same network. Each wall-mount
large display requires 120V input power; Liebert provides an AC adapter wall plug. A straight
through Ethernet cable must be connected between the network switch and the P64 port on the back
of the display. This will enable control and monitoring capabilities to any cooling unit connected to the
network.

modes:
• No Teamwork
• Teamwork Mode 1

12.4.1 Application of Teamwork Modes


• No Teamwork: Multiple zones in one room
• Teamwork Mode 1: Balanced load (small groups of units inside the same environment)
• Teamwork Mode 2: Unbalanced load (large rooms, not all units will have the same load) (works
well for most applications)
• Teamwork Mode 3: Optimized Aisle (allows the cooling capacity to be controlled off the supply
sensor to operate as a local control by removing only the amount of load required to maintain the
discharge air temperature at each unit. The supply temperature setpoint can be adjusted for each
unit. This allows optimal control for an unbalanced room load. The fan speed is controlled by the
remote rack sensors of all units, providing a controlled delivery method of the air to the cold aisle.
This distribution is achieved by operating all fans in parallel, which will also yield the greatest
energy efficiency.
All units in the same group will run in the same Teamwork Mode.

12.4.2 No Teamwork
Each cooling unit works independently, responding to its own sensors.
Standby function and unit rotation are possible but cascading is not (see Standby and Cascade on
page 138). AutoSet will not adjust the proportional band in this mode.

135 Liebert® CRV™


Operation in Teamwork Mode

12.4.3 Teamwork Mode 1


Teamwork Mode 1 works best in small rooms with balanced heat loads. The return temperature and
humidity sensor readings of all units in operation (fan On) are averaged by the master unit and
displays this information in the System View. Control can be based on either the maximum or
average temperature readings of the connected units in the group. If set to control off an average, the
number of units calculated in the average can be set lower than the total number of units connected.
This provides a more defined control strategy, by taking into account only the worst case readings.
The master unit will send the operating requirements to all operating units according to unit
numbers.
In this teamwork mode, most of the parameters are shared; if set in any one of the units, all other
units will follow with the same settings. AutoSet will adjust the proportional band in Teamwork
Mode 1.
The master unit evenly divides the system proportional band among the number of available units.
Each unit will receive instruction on how to operate from the master unit based on how far the system
deviates from the setpoints. Fans, compressors, and chilled water valves will operate in parallel as
temperature deviates from set point. See Figure 121 and paragraphs below for more information.
The number of available units is calculated like:
• In non-standby configuration: all units with fan On
• In typical standby function (no cascade): all units with fan On
• In cascade mode: all units that could operate (no alarm, which forces the unit to switch Off, unit
not switched Off, etc.)

NOTE
Low limit and reheat during dehumidification are managed from each unit independently.

Figure 121 shows how two cooling units work together in Teamwork Mode 1. Since Unit 1 and Unit 2
are available to operate, the master unit, Unit 1, averages the temperature and humidity sensor
readings from each unit.
The master unit determines that a 60% call for cooling is required for the system. Since there are two
available cooling units, each unit makes up half of the system proportional band; Unit 1 handles
0-50% system call for cooling and Unit 2 handles 51-100%. For every 1% system call for cooling, each
unit provides 2% of its total cooling capacity.
The 60% system call for cooling exceeds the 50% Unit 1 can provide, so Unit 1 operates at full
capacity. The remaining 10% system call for cooling (60% - 50% = 10%) is handled by Unit 2. Unit 2
responds by operating at 20% cooling capacity (50% ÷ 10% = 20%).

12.4.4 Teamwork Mode 2


Teamwork Mode 2 is designed to prevent units within a group from working in opposing modes,
effectively “fighting” each other. It is best applied in large rooms with unbalanced heat loads. In
Teamwork Mode 2, all temperature and humidity parameters are shared. Unit #1 takes a
user-defined average or maximum sensor reading on the network to determine whether there is a
cooling, dehumidification or humidification request. To further improve control output, when the
Liebert iCOM is set to control off an average, the number of units calculated in the average can be set
lower than the total number of units connected. This provides a more defined control strategy, by
taking into account only the worst case readings.
If there is a cooling request, all units are released to start cooling resources according to their own
temperature readings; and operate cooling off their own unique temperature control bands. If some of
the units sense a cooler temperature, they are permitted to reduce cooling to keep from cooling the
space beyond the temperature setpoint. If the master determines the greatest demand is for
dehumidification, the units that require dehumidification are released to operate in that mode. Units
in the group that may have only a small request for humidification will the remain idle for maximum
energy saving and control.
Teamwork Mode 2 does not rotate; unevenly distributed working hours to be expected. AutoSet will
not adjust the proportional band in this mode.

NOTE
The Liebert CRV is designed to use Teamwork Mode 3 where three 2T sensors are supplied to
monitor the temperature at the racks and ramp the fans accordingly.

NOTE
In Teamwork Mode 2, all units must have the same setpoints. The units’ proportional band,
deadband and related settings may be different.

137 Liebert® CRV™


Operation in Teamwork Mode

12.4.5 Teamwork Mode 3 (Optimized Aisle)


Teamwork Mode 3 can be selected when the units are set to operate in Optimized Aisle Control mode
and have been connected in a unit to unit (U2U) network. Teamwork provides coordination between
the units that will prevent “fighting” by not allowing units to operate in conflicting modes of operation
at the same time by selecting which mode to operate within based on the maximum or average
reading of the collective unit sensors (Humidifying vs. Dehumidifying). When the units are set to
control off an average, the number of units calculated in the average can be set lower than the total
number of units connected. This provides a more-defined control strategy by taking into account only
the worst-case readings.
Teamwork Mode 3 allows the cooling capacity (Supply Sensor) to operate as a local control by
removing only the amount of load required to maintain the discharge air temperature at each unit.
This allows for an unbalanced room load while maintaining a consistent discharge air temperature.
The fan speed is controlled by the remote rack sensors of all units, providing a controlled delivery
method of the air to the cold aisle. This distribution is achieved by operating all fans in parallel, which
will also yield the greatest energy efficiency.

12.4.6 Standby-Rotation
Typical Standby (Lead/Lag) Function
This function can be performed in any teamwork mode, including NO Teamwork.
One or more units can be defined to be Standby; the normal status of standby units is Standby Off
(fan Off).
If one regular unit has an alarm that is defined (to be defined in the alarm configuration), to switch
On a standby unit, the faulty unit will switch Off and the standby unit will switch On.
If the next unit has an alarm, the next standby unit will be started. If no more standby units are
available, the unit with a non-critical alarm that permits unit operation will be switched On again
(water detection, fan alarm, fire alarm etc. will not permit a unit to restart).
The standby function can be rotated daily, weekly or monthly.
The rotation is performed with a selectable number of units: if 1 is selected, to standby rotates from
1-2 to 2-3 in a four unit configuration with two standby units, and rotates from 1-2 to 3-4 in the same
configuration, when the rotation parameter is set to 2.

Standby and Cascade


Cascade is possible in Teamwork Modes 1 and 3 only.
• Cooling for Teamwork Mode 1
• Fan PI for Teamwork Mode 3 (Optimized Aisle)
Standby units will start if an alarm occurs in one of the active units. If the standby units are
cascaded, they will also start and work with the regular active units if the temperature cannot be
controlled by the active units; before a high or low temperature condition occurs. Cascaded units are
switched off again as soon as the temperature returns back to normal.
When Cooling is set as the cascade mode, units will be started based on the CFC (call for cooling)—
Teamwork Mode 1.
When Fan PI is set as the cascade mode, units will be started based on the CFF (call for fan)—
Teamwork Mode 3.

NOTE
Cascaded units are not included in the calculation of the average temperature / humidity.

Remote Rack Sensor Wiring

13.0 REMOTE RACK SENSOR WIRING


Three 2T sensors come standard with each Liebert CRV (both 600mm and 300mm models). The
Liebert CRV is capable of supporting up to ten (10) 2T remote rack temperature sensors. It is
recommended that one (1) 2T housing be attached to each rack the Liebert CRV is intended to cool.
The sensors provide feedback directly to the cooling unit to improve efficiency and performance. Rack
sensors help combat cooling problems related to recirculation air, uneven rack loading and air
distribution. The 2T rack sensors are intended for cold aisle use only.
While installing the rack sensors is optional, Emerson recommends that they be installed.
Installations with multiple Liebert CRV cooling units should be connected in a Unit-to-Unit (U2U)
Ethernet network to leverage all of the Liebert iCOM® control benefits.
A sensor network can be extended at any time by connecting additional 2T sensors to the last 2T
temperature and humidity sensor on the network. Sensors connect in a daisy chain fashion back to
the cooling unit; individual wires from each sensor to the cooling unit are avoided.
There are four steps to setting up a remote rack sensor:
• Determine the location of sensors and mounting. See 13.1 DIP Switch Settings.
• Set the DIP switches of the remote rack sensor must be configured to have a unique ID. See
Sections 13.2 through 13.4
• Route the CANbus cables and make the connections at the CRV and 2T sensors mounted on the
racks. See Sections 13.5 through 13.8.
• Configure the Liebert iCOM—Control must be set to use the remote rack sensor as either a
controlling sensor or as a reference sensor. See 13.8 Remote Rack Sensor Operation and
Rack View Setup.

1. Confirm the DIP switches are set correctly for 2T sensors numbered 1, 2 and 3.
2. If additional sensors are to be connected to a cooling unit:
a. Apply numbered stickers to the sensor housings, corresponding to sensor chain position.
b. Based on the sensor number, use the included DIP switch tool to set the DIP switches
according to the table above. If you are having difficulty setting switches through the opening
in the housing or if the hole is not present, you may open the case by removing the three
Phillips head screws. Reassemble housing once complete.

13.3 Terminating the Last 2T Sensor on a Network


The last 2T sensor on the network, which can be identified by having only one CAN cable plugged into
it, must be terminated. All other 2T sensors on the network must remain unterminated. 2T sensor #3
is terminated at the factory (the sensors are labeled). As long as Sensor #3 is the last sensor on the
network, none of the other termination jumpers in the other sensors need to be adjusted.
The sensors do not need to be connected in numerical order.
For example, if five sensors are purchased, they can be connected in the following pattern:
In the example above, if additional sensors are added to an existing sensor network, Sensor #3 must
be unterminated. The additional sensors can then be connected and the new last sensor on the
network will have to be terminated.
2T sensors may be terminated in either of two ways, with a factory-supplied termination plug or with
jumpers.

13.3.1 Using the Factory-Supplied Plug to Terminate the Last 2T Sensor on a Network
The Liebert CRV is furnished with 2T sensors and an RJ-45 termination plug. Arrange the sensors
and network as detailed in 13.7 Sensor Location and Mounting. Insert the termination plug into
the RJ-45 connection on the 2T temperature and humidity sensor board (see Figure 125).

13.3.2 Using Jumper to Terminate the Last 2T Rack Sensor on a Network

NOTE
Using a jumper to terminate a 2T sensor in a Liebert CRV requires removing the sensor
housing from the cooling unit.

A jumper can be used to terminate a 2T sensor if no factory-supplied termination plug is available.


To terminate a 2T sensor with a jumper:
1. Open the sensor's case by removing the screws that hold it together, usually three.
2. Pull the black jumper off the circuit board from Pins 1 and 2 (see Figure 130).
3. Install the jumper on Pins 2 and 3.
4. Reassemble the sensor housing.

to an additional seven 2T sensors can be connected to a Liebert CRV for a total of 10 sensors.
Additional 2T sensors can be purchased in kits of 1, 3 or 7, which include one, three or seven
additional shielded CAN cables, each 6 ft. (1.8m) long. Kits include 2T sensor(s), cable ties,
instructions and shielded CAN cable(s) to protect against electronic interference.
Additional 2T Rack Temperature Sensor shielded CAN cables are available in lengths of 10, 20 and 30
feet (3, 6 and 9.1m). The longer cables are useful when spanning a cold aisle and when a 2T sensor is
more than one rack away from the nearest connection point. A maximum of 150 feet of
interconnecting CAN cables can be connected to a single Liebert CRV.

CANbus Cables
Shielded cable consists of three pairs of twisted wires with a six-pin RJ-12 connector

NOTICE
Risk of improper wiring. Can cause equipment damage.
Mismatching wire pins at the RJ12 connection will damage the CAN device. Extreme caution
should be taken when making cables.
• Keep control and communication cables away from power cables to prevent electromagnetic
interference.
• Do not bend cables to less than four times the diameter of the cable.
• Do not deform cables when securing them in bundles or when hanging them.
• Keep cables away from devices that can introduce noise into them, such as machines, fluorescent
lights and electronics.
• Avoid stretching cables; tension when pulling cables should not exceed 25 pounds (11kg) of
pulling tension.
• Do not secure cables with any method that might damage them. Use approved hangers, such as
those for telephone wire or RG-6 coaxial cable, available at most hardware stores.

Ensure there is enough slack in the wire to allow the door to open and close freely, but not so much
that the wire could be in a bind or pinched when the door is shut. Emerson recommends securing the
wiring with cable ties.
Connect the other end of the 10ft. (3m) CAN cable to the nearest 2T rack sensor. Use additional CAN
cables to connect the remaining 2T rack sensors to each other. The order in which the 2T temperature
and humidity sensors are attached does not matter; however, be sure that the last sensor connected is
the one set to “terminated.” Avoid using excessive lengths of cable between sensors.

13.6 Route the CANbus Wire into the Cooling Unit-300mm (12")
Connecting the CANbus sensors will require working in the high-voltage electrical compartment of
the Liebert CRV. Emerson recommends having installation performed by a properly trained and
qualified electrician.

! WARNING
Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Can cause injury and death.
Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies and wear appropriate personal
protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working within the electric control enclosures.
CANbus cabling will be near the Liebert CRV's main disconnect switch, which has high
voltage supply power. Some of the CANbus cabling must be done without a clear view of the
high-voltage wiring and contact with the high-voltage connections.
Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included
and check the nameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power.
The Liebert iCOM® microprocessor does not isolate power from the unit, even in the Unit Off
mode.
Some internal components require and receive power even during the Unit Off mode of the
Liebert iCOM control.
Install and open a remote disconnect switch and verify with a voltmeter that live hazardous
voltage potential is not present inside the unit cabinet before working within. Refer to the
unit electrical schematic.
Follow all national and local codes.

A 2T Sensor Terminal is factory-installed in the Liebert CRV 300mm (12") unit's electric panel section
(see Figure 130). This terminal is factory-wired to the Liebert iCOM on the front of the Liebert CRV.
The display comes “Terminated” from the factory and must be “Un-terminated' to allow connecting
additional sensors. See Figure 126 for termination jumper location for front panel display and sensor
boards.
Connect a CANbus cable to the factory-installed 2T Sensor Terminal inside the 300mm (12") Liebert
CRV as shown in Top entry route the CANbus wire into the cooling unit-300mm (12") DX. Route the
CANbus cable out of the Liebert CRV to an external 2T Sensor Terminal and sensors on the racks as
shown in Top entry route the CANbus wire into the cooling unit-300mm (12") DX. See Figures 131
and 132 for an example of arranging the sensor array.
Use additional CAN cables to connect the remaining 2T rack sensors to each other. Avoid using
excessive lengths of cable between sensors. The order in which the 2T temperature and humidity
sensors are attached does not matter. However, the last sensor connected must be set to “terminated.”
Refer to 13.3 Terminating the Last 2T Sensor on a Network for details.

13.7 Sensor Location and Mounting


Both temperature and humidity sensors attached to a 2T sensor housing are to be installed on the
same rack. The sensor may be attached to the inside or outside of the rack's front door.
• One temperature sensor is to be attached near the top of the rack's front door by using a cable tie
to secure the wire to the perforation (approximate 12" [305mm] from the top). Do not wrap a cable
tie around the actual sensor on the end of the wire. This sensor will monitor for hot air wrapping
over the top of the rack from the hot aisle.
• The other temperature sensor is to be attached to the rack's front door, centered in front of the
heat generating equipment that will be drawing in air.
• If the rack is completely filled with equipment, locate the sensor in the middle of the door,
width and height.
• If the rack is partially filled with equipment, locate the sensor in the center of the equipment
on the front door.
• Do NOT
• Install a sensor in the hot aisle
• Leave a sensor coiled on top of or inside the rack.
• With the temperature sensors in place, neatly route the wires up the rack door and into the rack
securing them with the supplied cable ties. Be sure to leave an appropriate amount of slack in the
cable to allow the rack door to open and close without binding or pinching the wires.
• Affix the 2T sensor housing to the rack using the supplied hook-and-loop fastener. Emerson
recommends installing the housing in an easily accessible space with the sensor number label
visible for maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Repeat this process until all sensors have been installed.

The control system compares the relayed information with the programmed setpoint and proportional
band values and performs one of the following operations:
Cooling—Direct expansion mode (DX): The compressor is started and the cold refrigerant flows
through the evaporator, thus cooling the air passing through it. Liebert recommends using the supply
temperature sensor to control the cooling capacity of the Liebert CRV, but cooling can be managed
from any of the temperature sensors. The supply temperature is an accurate representation of the
actual heat rejection the Liebert CRV needs to perform. Chilled water Liebert CRV models will
modulate the cooling capacity from 0% to 100% and DX models will modulate the cooling capacity
from 20% to100% compressor capacity. To avoid short-cycling the compressor during room heat load
changes, the Liebert CRV will not deactivate the compressor until the air temperature is below 150%
of temperature setpoint when in Remote or Supply Air Control or below 200% of temperature setpoint
when operating in Return Air Control.
Chilled Water Mode (CW)—The three-way valve is opened and the chilled water flows through the
coil, thus cooling the air passing through it.

153 Liebert® CRV™


Operation

Reheating—Electrical heating (optional): The heating elements heat the air passing over them
during dehumidifcation. The heating control is active only when the unit is in dehumidification mode.
The reheats will only activate when the unit is dehumidifying. The reheats will begin activation when
the control temperature has dropped to -66% of the control's proportional band and will deactivate
when temperature setpoint has been reached.
Dehumidification (DX mode)—The temperature of the cooling coil is reduced to remove moisture
from the air (refer to Service menus-Setpoints parameters screen - Page 2, Service menus-Setpoints
parameters screen - Page 3, Service menus-Diagnostics / service mode parameters screen - Page 3 and
Service menus-Opt).

NOTE
If dehumidification cannot reach its setpoint within a set amount of time, the unit will delay
dehumidification to allow the room temperature to stabilize.

• In dehumidification mode, the air after passing over the coil is reheated (if needed) by electrical
heaters to stabilize the initial temperature.
Humidification (optional)—The humidifier creates steam, which is distributed into the air stream
via the steam distribution pipe. (See also Appendix A - Humidifier—600mm (24") Units Only).
The Liebert CRV's humidification is activated when the measured temperature and humidity sensor
has been calculated to exceed the corresponding dew point setpoint. The dew point setpoint is
calculated based on the temperature and humidity of the sensor set to control the control setpoint and
relative humidity.
Example: Temperature Setpoint 72°F / Humidity Setpoint 50% = 52°F Dew Point

NOTE
The Liebert iCOM® control monitors the condition of the air discharging from the unit to
protect neighboring electronic equipment. Liebert iCOM will prevent the humidifier from
activating if the discharge air is near its saturation point. This protects against discharging
fog from the unit or condensation forming on the unit's supply air baffles. This protection mode
is activated when the supply sensor reading is below 53°F (11.7°C) or above 55% relative
humidity. When this condition is met a message will display showing “humidifier” suspended.

The status of the humidifier lockout can be viewed in the Service/Diagnostics menu.
These protections do not apply to the external humidifier output.

Calibration and Regulation after Startup

15.0 CALIBRATION AND REGULATION AFTER STARTUP


The Liebert CRV has been factory-tested and calibrated, but it is very important to check, at startup,
the superheating of the thermostatic valve (A/W versions).
• For calibrations of instruments installed on the external condensers/drycoolers, refer to the
manual for the equipment.
• For control system calibrations, refer to the Liebert iCOM® manual, SL-18835. (To prevent erratic
operation, do not use temperature and relative humidity setpoints/proportional bands that differ
excessively from the default settings.)

15.1 Thermostatic Expansion Valve


The Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TEV) 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. The correct superheat setting is
between 10 and 20°F (-12 and -6°C). 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.

15.1.1 Determine Suction Superheat


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 the bulb’s location and the 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.

15.1.2 Adjust Superheat Setting with the TEV


To adjust the superheat setting:
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.

15.2 Environmental Protection


Misuse or incorrect calibration of the unit leads to increased energy consumption, resulting in
economic and environmental damage.

16.0 MAINTENANCE

16.1 Safety Instructions


All maintenance operations must strictly observe national, state and local accident prevention
regulations, especially the regulations concerning electrical systems, refrigerators and manufacturing
resources.
Air conditioning equipment maintenance may be performed only by authorized properly trained and
qualified personnel.
To keep all warranties valid, the maintenance must adhere to the manufacturer’s regulations.

! WARNING
Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Can cause injury and death.
Open all local and remote electric power supplies, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off
and wear appropriate personal protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working within
the electric control enclosure.
Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included
and check the nameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power.
The Liebert iCOM® microprocessor does not isolate power from the unit, even in the Unit Off
mode.
Some internal components require and receive power even during the Unit Off mode of the
Liebert iCOM control.
The factory-supplied optional disconnect switch is inside the unit. The line side of this switch
contains live hazardous voltage potential.
Install and open a remote disconnect switch and verify with a voltmeter that live hazardous
voltage potential is not present inside the unit cabinet before working within. Refer to the
unit electrical schematic.
Follow all national and local codes.

! WARNING
Risk of contact with rotating fan blades and extremely hot and/or cold surfaces. Can cause
equipment damage, injury and death.
Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies before working within the electric
connection enclosures. Perform maintenance only when the system is de-energized, all fan
blades have stopped rotating and component temperatures have become safe for human
contact.
• Turn Off the system by switching it Off at the controller and the main disconnect switch.
• Post a warning sign saying Do not switch on.
• Electrical components of the unit must be switched Off and checked using a voltmeter to
ensure they are not receiving electrical input power.

! WARNING
Risk of hair, clothing and jewelry entanglement with high speed rotating fan blades. Can
cause equipment damage, serious injury or death.
Keep hair, jewelry and loose clothing secured and away from rotating fan blades during
operation.

NOTICE
Risk of improper maintenance. Can cause equipment damage.
All maintenance must be performed only by authorized properly trained and qualified
personnel.
Ignoring safety instructions can be dangerous to persons as well as to the environment. Soiled
parts always cause a loss of performance and, for switch or control devices, can lead to the
breakdown of a plant.

161 Liebert® CRV™


Maintenance

16.2 Facility Fluid and Piping Maintenance for Water and Glycol Systems
Maintaining facility water and glycol quality is required throughout the life of the coolant fluid piping
system. Fluid and piping system maintenance schedules must be established and performed. A
coolant fluid maintenance program must be established that will evaluate fluid chemistry and apply
necessary treatment. The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of
required treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.
Perform periodic inspections of the facility and the unit coil and/or heat exchanger and coolant fluid
piping system for leaks and visible damage.

16.3 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 the time of installation
and through a maintenance program should help to establish a pattern of depletion. A visual
inspection of the solution and filter residue is often helpful in judging whether active corrosion is
occurring.
The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required treatment
programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and experienced water
treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system maintenance program. It is
important to note that improper use of water treatment chemicals can cause problems more serious
than using none. Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the
glycol system. Consult the glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors. Do not mix
products from different manufacturers.

16.4 Spare Parts


Only original spare parts made by Emerson Network Power may be used. Using third-party material
can invalidate the warranty. When making seeking technical assistance, always refer to the
component list supplied with the equipment, and specify the model number, serial number and, if
available, the part number.

NOTE
1. When replacing a faulty component, follow the relevant manufacturer instructions.
2. When the spare parts must be brazed, be careful not to damage the internal parts (gaskets,
seals, O-rings, etc.).

16.5 Maintenance Schedule


Conduct monthly, quarterly, biannual and annual checks according to the following guidelines.
All tasks and time periods listed here are the manufacturers’ regulations and must be documented in

16.12 Considerations when Dismantling the Unit


The Liebert CRV has been designed and built to ensure continuous operation.
The working life of some of the main components, such as the fan and the compressor, depends on
proper maintenance.

NOTICE
Risk of release of hazardous substances into the environment. Can cause environmental
pollution and violation of environmental regulations.
The Liebert CRV contains substances and components hazardous for the environment
(electronic components, refrigerating gases and oils). At the end of its useful life, the
Liebert CRV must be dismantled by specialized refrigerating technicians. The unit must be
delivered to suitable centers specializing in the collection and disposal of equipment
containing hazardous substances.
The refrigerating fluid and the lubricating oil inside the circuit must be recovered according to the
laws in the relevant country.
To recover the gas, use all the connections described in 6.0 Refrigerant Connections for Air-
Cooled Units.

16.13 F-Gas Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006


Stationary air conditioning placed in the European Community market and operating with
fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gas), such as R-134A, R-407C and R-410A, must comply with the F-
gas Regulation (applied since July 4, 2007).
Following considerations must be observed when operating with the above-mentioned equipment:
• Fluorinated greenhouse gases are covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
• The fluorinated greenhouse gases in this equipment should not be vented to the atmosphere.
• Referring to the value noted in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 842/2006, the following list
specifies the global warming potential (GWP) of some major F-gases:
• R-134A: GWP 1300
• R-407C: GWP 1610
• R-410A: GWP 1890
• Operators of the above-mentioned applications, which contain fluorinated greenhouse gases,
shall, using all measures that are technically feasible and do not entail disproportionate cost:
a. prevent leakage of these gases and, as soon as possible, repair any detected leakage;
b. ensure that they are checked for leakage by certified personnel;
c. ensure arrangements are put in place for the proper recovery by certified personnel.
d. In case of applications containing 3 kg (6 kg in case of hermetically sealed systems) or more of
F-gases, certified personnel and companies (according to Reg. 303/2008) provide regular leak
testing (according to Reg. 1516/2007 and Reg. 1497/2007) and maintain records of
maintenance activities in a dedicated log book.
e. Recovery for the purpose of recycling, reclamation or destruction of the fluorinated
greenhouse gases, pursuant to Art. 4 (Recovery) of Reg.842/2006, shall take place before the
final disposal of that equipment and, when appropriate, during its servicing and
maintenance.
• Operator, according to Reg. 842/2006, Article 2, point 6, means the natural or legal person
exercising actual power over the technical functioning of the equipment and system covered by
the Regulation. The State may, in defined, specific situations, designate the owner as being
responsible for the operator's obligations.
• Direct methods of leakage checking approved by the manufacturer (Reg. 1516/2007 and Reg.
1497/2007):
a. gas detection device adapted to the refrigerant in the system; the sensitivity of portable gas
detection devices (as a direct test method) shall be at least five grams per year.
b. proprietary bubble solutions / soapsuds.

Liebert® CRV™ 170


Maintenance

• Additional information located in a dedicated label of the unit (Reg. 1494/2007):


a. Where fluorinated greenhouse gas is foreseen to be added to the equipment outside of the
manufacturing site at the point of installation, a dedicated label accommodates notation of
both the quantity (kg) pre-charged in the manufacturing plant and the quantity charged at
the installation site, as well as the resulting total quantity of F-gas as a combination of the
above-mentioned quantities, in a manner that conforms to legibility and indelibility.
Our split units are usually not pre-charged at the factory; in this case, the total quantity of
refrigerant charged in the unit must be written in the relevant label, during the commission-
ing operation at the installation site.
b. Our packaged units (not split) operating with F-gas are usually fully charged at the factory,
and the total amount of refrigerant charge is already reported on the label. In this case, the
label has no need of further written information.
c. In general, the above-mentioned information has been located in the main nameplate of the
relevant unit.
d. For equipment with double refrigeration circuits, in regards to different requirements based
on the quantity of F-gas contained, the required information about refrigerant charge
quantities must be listed separately for each individual circuit.
e. For equipment with separate indoor and outdoor sections connected by refrigerant piping, the
label information will be on that part of the equipment that is initially charged with the
refrigerant. In case of a split system (separate indoor and outdoor sections) without a factory
precharge of refrigerant, the mandatory label information will be on that part of the product
or equipment that contains the most suitable service points for charging or recovering the
fluorinated greenhouse gas(es).
• Safety data sheets of F-gases used into the products are available on demand.

Humidifier—600mm (24") Units Only

APPENDIX A - HUMIDIFIER—600MM (24") UNITS ONLY


A.1 PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION
When the Liebert iCOM® calls, the cylinder fills to 100% of the Full Load Amperage (FLA) or to the
top of the cylinder, whichever comes first. See Figure 143. If it reaches 100% FLA, the water heats
and boils away to a level giving 80% FLA. An electronic timer uses the rate of amp fall to determine
the water level. The objective is to concentrate current carrying minerals in the cylinder so that a
smaller volume of water is required to produce the rated steam output. This extends the life of the
disposable cylinder by minimizing electrode coverage and reducing energy use because the high
concentration allows a minimal drain rate. When 80% FLA is reached, the fill valve will open,
refilling the cylinder to 100% FLA. On occasion, the drain valve will also come on if the water level is
too low, indicating too high a concentration and the need to dilute the water in the cylinder. If the
water reaches the top of the cylinder before 100% FLA, the fill valve shuts Off via the sensor, and the
fill-boil-fill-boil cycle continues, cycling Off the red high water sensor light until the concentration
becomes high enough to reach 100% FLA. The above-described control process will then take over.

Figure 143 General diagram—humidifier operation

NOTE
The Liebert iCOM control monitors the condition of the air discharging from the unit to protect
neighboring electronic equipment. The Liebert iCOM will prevent the humidifier from
activating if the discharge air is near its saturation point. This protects against discharging
fog from the unit or condensation forming on the unit’s supply air baffles. This protection mode
is activated when the supply air leaving the unit is below 64°F (17.8°C) or above 55% relative
humidity. The Liebert iCOM screen will display “Humidifier Suspended.” The screen will
display “Humidifier Resumed” when the protection mode resets at 67°F (19.4°C).

175 Liebert® CRV™


Humidifier—600mm (24") Units Only

A.1.1 Humidifier Water Supply and Plumbing


The fill valve is sized for an extended water pressure range of 30 to 80 psi.
For installations where water pressure is less than 15 psi, add a pressure boost pump and notify the
factory; a fill valve with an oversized opening will be supplied.
For installations where water pressure is greater than 80 psi, install a pressure reducing valve in the
water feed line to the unit.
With dirty or muddy water sources (e.g., some well sources), ensure proper filtration by adding an
external filter to the water line entering the unit. (Consult factory for accessories such as filters.)

NOTICE
Risk of improper water supply. Can reduce humidifier efficiency or obstruct humidifier
plumbing.
Do not use completely demineralized water with this unit. The water must contain minerals
for the electrode principle to work.
Do not use a hot water source; it will cause deposits that will eventually block the fill valve
opening.

A.1.2 Humidifier Water Connection


A copper compression olive type coupling for 1/4" O.D. soft copper tubing is provided with the unit and
requires no soldering for the water connection to the unit.
An isolating valve should ALWAYS be placed in the feed water line to allow service of the fill valve.
Each unit is fitted with a fill solenoid valve located on the base drain pan.
Flow openings are designed for water pressure from 30 to 80 psi and are protected by the built-in
strainer.
For inlet water pressure outside this range, the factory should be contacted.

A.1.3 Humidifier Startup and Operation


• Ambient temperature location for humidifier: 41 - 104°F (5 - 40°C).
• Relative humidity location for humidifiers: 5 - 80% RH.
Check to see that the unit is securely mounted on a level surface with the proper drain and water
supply. Check for correct voltage with appropriately sized service. Check that the steam distributor,
steam supply hose and condensate line are correctly installed and routed back to the unit.
Check all electrical connections for wires that may have become loose in shipping. Components
damaged because of loose connections are NOT under warranty.
Check electrode plugs to ensure they are pressed firmly onto the electrode pins. Important: Loose
connections will cause overheating of the cylinder plugs, possibly melting the plugs and/or cylinder.
1. Open the isolating valve in the feed water line to the unit.
2. Make sure the Liebert iCOM® is set high enough to call for humidification.
3. Turn on the main disconnect in the primary service feeding the unit and check that unit has
power at the primary terminal block.
4. Push the auto On/Off/Drain Switch to “On.”
Water will start to enter the cylinder through its bottom port and rise in the cylinder to a point
determined by the solid state control circuitry. It is not unusual upon initial startup for the water to
fill the cylinder and cycle on the red high-water sensor light.
The red light simply acts as a safety to shut off the fill valve and prevent overfilling. With the red
light on, the water in the cylinder will continue to heat and, after a few minutes, start to boil. After
the boiling of the water has lowered the water level below the sensor at the top of the cylinder, the red
light will go out and the fill solenoid will again open until the cylinder is again full. This cycling of the
red light and fill valve will continue until the unit's full output capacity is reached, after which the
water level will automatically lower itself in the cylinder. (The increased concentration allows for
lower electrode coverage while maintaining the same output.) When a stabilized condition is reached,
the water will be boiling close to the cylinder seam level. The solid state circuitry will maintain the
proper concentration in the cylinder by introducing short drains only when necessary. If the cylinder
is manually drained, the above process will repeat itself.

A.1.4 Low Water Conductivity


Should normalization of the unit be required immediately after startup, the installer may speed up
the process by artificially increasing water conductivity. During a fill cycle, the installer should
dissolve half a teaspoon of table salt (no more) in a cup of water and add it to the cylinder by means of
the fill cup attached to the plumbing section. Open the plumbing compartment and add salt solution
through cylinder outlet. Excessive amounts of salt will result in erratic operation of the unit; however,
normalization of the unit will occur automatically through the solid-state control sequence.

A.1.5 Cylinder Replacement

NOTICE
Risk of electrical malfunction. Humidifier operation beyond the usable life of the cylinder can
cause improper operation and equipment damage.
The steam cylinder is disposable and must be replaced at the end of cylinder life. Cylinder life
depends on water supply conditions and humidifier usage.
After an extended period of operation, the cylinder will be completely used, as indicated by the red
high-water sensor light illuminated on the cabinet. When this condition is reached, a new
replacement cylinder must be installed.
NOTE
The red light may come on during initial startup, but this does not mean the cylinder must be
replaced. See 10.0 Startup and 14.0 Operation.
Contact Emerson or your local Emerson representative to obtain a replacement cylinder. To obtain
the correct cylinder, supply the cylinder model from the white three-digit label on the cylinder, or
supply the model, voltage and serial number from the unit specification label.

Remove the Old Cylinder


1. Turn Off the water supply to the unit.
2. The old cylinder must be drained completely before removing. This is done by pushing the auto
On/Off/Drain switch to the “drain” position.
3. When the cylinder is empty, push the auto On/Off/Drain switch to the Off position.

! WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
Open all local and remote electric power disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that
power is Off before completing the next step in the cylinder replacement operation.
4. The power wires to the cylinder are attached by cylinder plugs to the electrode pins on top of the
cylinder. Pull these plugs off the pins.
5. Using a slotted screwdriver, loosen the steam hose clamp(s) and pull the steam hose off.
The cylinder is now ready to be lifted out of the unit.

Installing the New Cylinder


1. Leave the main disconnect open until the cylinder is completely installed and reconnected.
2. Ensure that the cylinder mounting stubs are seated properly in the allotted side mounting slots
within the unit.
3. The white sensor plug on all units is for the sensor pin, which always goes on the single pin offset
from the others.
4. Ensure that cylinder plugs are snug on the pins.
5. Replace loose-fitting plugs; loose plugs may generate enough heat to melt and destroy the plug,
and new cylinder plugs must be ordered.
Reverse the procedure to install a new cylinder.

Humidifier Maintenance

! WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
Open all local and remote electric power supply disconnect switches and verify with a
voltmeter that power is Off before performing maintenance on the humidifier. The plumbing
and electrical compartments contain high-voltage components and wiring. The access cover is
attached with screws. Access should be limited to authorized personnel only.
Extended Shutdown
Always drain the cylinder before disconnecting power to the humidifier for a period of extended
shutdown. Otherwise, the electrodes are subject to harmful corrosion, which drastically shortens the
cylinder life. Do not leave the switch in the DRAIN position indefinitely because the drain coil could
burn out. Leave the switch in the Off position and open the main external fused disconnect to stop
power to the humidifier. Close the shutoff valve in the water supply line feeding the humidifier.

A.1.6 Humidifier Troubleshooting


Terms Used
• FLA (Full Load Amps) are amps listed on the humidifier specification label.
• Short cycling occurs when the humidifier’s “On time” is less than 10 minutes upon a call for
humidity. To correct short cycling, all humidifiers have a capacity adjustment that allows the
output of the humidifier to be reduced to as low as 20% of rated output, thus extending the “on
time” required to maintain output.
• Foaming can occur when the impurities already in water reach an excess concentration as a
result of boiling away water and continued boiling agitates the contained water. The humidifier
electronics are designed to prevent foaming, although in extreme cases water will foam with little
concentration, making it necessary to increase the drain time of the water contained in the
cylinder. Foaming is normally caused by short cycling, a restricted drain or back pressure. The
foam generated in these instances is conductive and may lead to false full-cylinder indication if
the level of the foam approaches the top of the cylinder.
• Back pressure is the restriction of steam flow caused by long steam runs, improperly sloped
steam lines, elbows changing the direction of steam flow from horizontal to vertical without a
drain leg, any plumbing detail allowing the accumulation of condensate, undersized steam line,
improper steam distributor, downward air flow onto the distributor causing excess static pressure
at the steam outlets, or high static pressure ducts (not probable). To overcome excess static
pressure in the duct, use a fill cup extension kit. In downflow applications, a downflow distributor
should be used, but in some cases the fill cup extension will also be required.
• Reset unit (humidifier): To reset the humidifier, switch the auto On/Off/Drain switch at the front
of the humidifier to the Off position for at least five seconds, then switch it back to the On position.
• Monitored leg is the primary wire to the cylinder that loops through the current sensing device
of the main PCB. This wire ends at the red cylinder plug at the cylinder.

Remote Rack Sensor Troubleshooting

B.1 STARTING POINT


Auto On/Off/Drain switch in On position—unit will not fill:
When the On/Off control circuit is made and the Auto On/Off/Drain switch is pushed to On, the 24V
holding coil of the primary contactor should energize. The resulting magnetic pull closes the high
voltage contacts with a distinct and audible “clunk.” If the contactor will not make the connection,
then inspect the following while referring to the wiring diagram:
• Check for 24V across terminals 18 and 26 on the PC board.
• The low-voltage 3A fuse located in the control box may be blown.
• The contactor holding coil may be open or shorted.
• The switch may be defective.
Recheck that the Auto On/Off/Drain switch is still On. If it is, shut off the main disconnect and check
fuses or breaker of the main disconnect. If they are serviceable, turn power back on.
To test for a defective Auto On/Off/Drain switch, connect a wire from the fuse directly to Terminal 6
on the external controls strip. If the contactor activates, the On side of the switch is defective. If the
contactor does not activate, the PC board could be defective.
If the 3A control fuse blows when the wire from the fuse touches Terminal 6 on the external controls
strip, the contactor holding coil may be shorted. Replace contactor if necessary.
After the necessary components have been replaced and the contactor pulls in, there is line voltage to
the cylinder and the control sequence can begin.
Approximately 30 seconds after the contactor pulls in, the fill valve coil should energize. There is also
a visible fill relay on the printed circuit board. It is the one located farthest from the C.T. core. The
points on this relay must be touching in order for the fill valve coil to be energized. If the points do not
touch after the built-in time delay, the sensor input may be interfering. To confirm, remove the black
and red sensor wires from terminals 6 and 10 on the PC board. Wait 30 seconds and, if the fill relay
points do not touch, replace the sensor. If they still do not touch, the basic PC board may be faulty. To
confirm, disconnect the red wire from terminal 18 and touch it to terminal 14. If the fill valve coil
activates, the basic PC board should be replaced. If it still does not activate, the fill valve coil should
be replaced. After the necessary components have been changed, water will start filling the cylinder
and begin to submerge the electrodes. Because of the high voltage across the electrodes, the water can
now conduct electricity.
Red “Change Cylinder” light on—Water at top of cylinder:
This is a common occurrence on startup. See 10.0 Startup and 14.0 Operation.
Water remains at high level and won't concentrate:
This is normal on cold startup and can be accelerated by adding a maximum of 1/2 tsp. of dissolved
salt to the cylinder on fill cycle through the plastic fill cup. See A.1.4 Low Water Conductivity.
If the unit has been operating extensively, observe for normal fill-boil-fill-boil cycle; no drainage
should occur. If drainage occurs, check for leaking drain valve or back pressure.
Unit drains continually:
May be caused by foaming and/or back pressure or by a leaking drain valve.
If cylinder is almost empty, check for magnetic pull on drain solenoid indicating miswiring. If there is
no pull, drain actuator is blocked open; remove, disassemble and clean.
If drain is occurring through activated drain valve, valve is miswired or electronics are faulty; consult
factory.
If drain is occurring through the overflow on the fill cup, this is due to abnormal restriction on the
steam line and back pressure forcing water out of the cylinder so water cannot concentrate and level
remains high. Review installation of steam line to ensure there are no blockages or excessive static
pressure in the air system.
