GENERAL INFORMATION
DC FREE COOLING UNIT SYSTEM (DC-FCU)
The Bard DC Free Cooling Unit system is composed of two (2) D-Series DUAL-TEC™ wall-mounted air conditioners
matched with one (1) Bard-LinkTM PLC lead/lag controller. The D-Series, specifically engineered for the telecom
market, can provide outdoor air cooling during power loss situations through the use of onsite -48VDC positive
ground battery banks.
TM
NOTE: The Bard-Link
work together. The PLC controller cannot run other Bard models or other brands of systems, nor can other
controllers or thermostats run the D-Series wall-mount units. They are a complete system, and must be used
together.
WALL-MOUNT AIR CONDITIONER UNITS
The D-Series units operate on both VAC and VDC power under normal power supply conditions. If there is loss of VAC
power supply (shore and/or back-up generator) the unit will continue to operate as free cooling or ventilation system
using the shelter’s VDC power. The indoor blower and free cooling unit operate from -48VDC and no inverter is required.
The units will supply 100% of rated cooling airflow in free cooling mode with ability to exhaust the same amount
through the unit itself without any additional relief openings in the shelter.
Each of these units are fully charged with refrigerant and have auxilliary heat installed.
BARD-LINKTM PLC CONTROLLER
Two models: LC1000-100 and LC1500-100 (controllers and accessories included with controllers shown below).
PLC lead/lag controller and the D-Series wall-mount units are designed specifically to

SITE PREPARATION
NEW SHELTER INSTALLATION VS.
RETROFIT INSTALLATION
These installation instructions cover both new shelter
installations and retrofit installations. Each installation
is unique and may require special accomodations and
modifications. Although Bard Manufacturing follows a
long-established tradition of manufacturing equipment
using industry standard dimensions for building
penetration, it is occasionally necessary to move or
enlarge supply and return openings when replacing
non-standardized equipment in a retrofit application.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
D-Series wall-mount air conditioners are available in
both right-hand access models and left-hand access
models. Right-hand access models have the heat strip
access panel, external circuit breakers access panel
and internal controls access panel on the right side of
the unit. Left-hand access models are a mirror image
of the right-hand access models, and allow two wallmount units to be placed in relatively close proximity
and yet still allow complete acess for maintenance and
repair.
On side-by-side installations, maintain a minimum of
26" clearance on control side to allow access to control
panel and heat strips, and to allow proper airflow to the
outdoor coil. For installations where units are installed
with both control panels facing each other (inward),
maintain a minimum of 36" clearance to allow access.
Additional clearance may be required to meet local or
national codes.
Care should be taken to ensure that the recirculation
and obstruction of condenser discharge air does not
occur. Recirculation of condenser discharge air can
be from either a single unit or multiple units. Any
object such as shrubbery, a building or a large object
can cause obstructions to the condenser discharge air.
Recirculation or reduced airflow caused by obstructions
will result in reduced capacity, possible unit pressure
safety lockouts and reduced unit service life.
For units with blow through condensers, such as the
D-Series units, it is recommended there be a minimum
distance of 10' between the front of the unit and
any barrier or 20' between the fronts of two opposing
(facing) units.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
!
WARNING
Fire hazard.
Maintain minimum 1/4” clearance between the
supply air duct and combustible materials in
the rst 3’ feet of ducting.
Failure to do so could result in re causing
damage, injury or death.
The unit itself is suitable for 0" clearance, but the
supply air duct flange and the first 3' of supply air duct
require a minimum of 1/4" clearance to combustible
material. However, it is generally recommended that
a 1" clearance is used for ease of installation and
maintaining the required clearance to combustible
material. See Figure 1.3 on page 12 for details on
opening sizes.

WALL-MOUNT UNIT INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNITS
!
WARNING
Heavy item hazard.
Use more than one person to handle unit.
Failure to do so could result in unit damage or
serious injury.
NOTE: It may be best to spot some electrical knockouts
(such as those located on the back of the wallmount unit) before units are mounted and access is
unavailable or limited (see Figure 1.2 to locate prepunched knockouts).
Two holes for the supply and return air openings must
be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 1.3 on page
12. On wood frame walls, the wall construction must
be strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of the
unit without transmitting any unit vibration. Concrete
block walls must be thoroughly inspected to insure that
they are capable of carrying the weight of the installed
unit.
NOTICE
AT&T National Standards forbids the use of
any adaptor or transitional curbs for use in
the installation of wall-mount HVAC systems.
If existing supply and return penetrations
do not match new requirements, those
openings must be modied to meet the
needs of the new equipment.
2. The unit itself is suitable for 0" clearance, but the
supply air duct flange and the first 3' of supply
air duct require a minimum of 1/4" clearance to
combustible material. However, it is generally
recommended that a 1" clearance is used for
ease of installation and maintaining the required
clearance to combustible material. See Figure 1.3
for details on opening sizes.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and location for
optional bottom mounting bracket, if desired (see
Figure 1.3).
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket (if used).
5. If desired, hook top rain flashing (attached to frontright of supply flange for shipping) under back
bend of top.
6. Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16" lag/
anchor/carriage bolts; use 7/8" diameter flat washers
on the lag bolts. It is recommended that a bead
of silicone caulking be placed behind the side
mounting flanges.
7. Secure optional rain flashing to wall and caulk
across entire length of top (see Figure 1.3).
8. For additional mounting rigidity, the return air
and supply air frames or collars can be drilled
and screwed or welded to the structural wall itself
(depending upon wall construction). Be sure to
observe required clearance if combustible wall.
9. A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at
the top of the unit down to the unit base. There are
openings in the unit base for the drain hose to pass
through. In the event the drain hose is connected
to a drain system of some type, it must be an open
or vented type system to assure proper drainage.
In retrofit (unit replacement) installations, the openings
cut for the original equipment may not line up exactly
with needs of this installation. Modifications may need
to be made, such as increasing or decreasing the size
of the wall cutouts. The existing bolt placement may
not line up in which case the original bolts would need
to be removed or cut away.
1. These units are secured by wall mounting flanges
which secure the unit to the outside wall surface at
both sides. A bottom mounting bracket, attached
to skid for shipping, is provided for ease of
installation, but is not required.

PRELIMINARY START-UP
RUNNING IN STAND ALONE (ORPHAN) MODE
With both AC and DC breakers turned on, each D-Series wall-mount system has the capability to run without the PLC
controller attached—this feature is called Stand Alone or Orphan Mode, and it basically keeps the shelter between
60°F and 78°F by the use of the factory-installed return air sensor in each wall-mount unit.
During installation, this allows deactivation of one of the two existing, older wall-mount units, while keeping the
shelter cool with the other unit still operating. Once the first of the two Bard wall-mount units is installed, Orphan
Mode can be enabled early in the installation—keeping the climate inside the shelter stable and the installers
comfortable while the remainder of the older equipment is removed and the second Bard wall-mount unit and PLC
controller is installed.
Additionally, should either or both D-Series wall-mount units lose communication with the PLC controller (such as
during maintenance), they will continue to serve the shelter's needs until a repair can be made.

WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
Disconnect both VAC and VDC power supplies
before servicing.
Failure to do so could result in electric shock

LC1000-100/LC1500-100 CONTROLLER
The Bard-LinkTM LC1000-100 (or LC1500-100)
controller is part of the DC Free Cooling Unit system. It
is used to control two wall-mount air conditioners from
one controller. The microprocessor control provides an
easy-to-read interface with large LCD graphical display.
It provides total redundancy for the structure and
equal wear on both units. The Bard-LinkTM controller is
configured for lead/lag/lead/lag sequence.
Differences Between the LC1000-100 and LC1500-100
There are two separate PLC lead-lag controllers to
choose from and each one serves a specific application.
The LC1000-100 controller comes pre-packaged with
a TEC-EYE hand-held diagnostic tool, one remote
temperature sensor and a pair of communication
EMI filters. This controller is meant for new shelter
construction only, and should never be used in the field
as a retrofit replacement. The LC1500-100 controller
comes pre-packaged with the TEC-EYE hand-held
diagnostic tool, one remote temperature sensor, a pair
of communication EMI filters and a smoke detector.
(The optional 8301-061 hydrogen detector, if ordered
from Bard, is also included with the LC1500-100
controller). The LC1500-100 has an umbilical cord
and 66 punch-down block attached. The LC1500
controller is to be used in all retrofit applications, and
all existing smoke detectors (and hydrogen detectors,
if applicable) are to be removed in lieu of the new
detectors.
Conduit is recommended for all wiring. Use separate
conduits for communication and supply wiring.
1. Mounting the Controller
TM
Because the Bard-Link
temperature sensor as opposed to one located in the
controller box, the controller itself can be installed in
any indoor location that is suitable, preferably at eye
level. Four (4) mounting holes are provided for mounting
to the wall and holes for conduit connections are provided
in both the base, sides and top of the controller. If
installing the LC1500-100, be sure to leave room to
mount the 66 punch-down block (attached with an
umbilical cord) near the controller.
controller utilizes a remote
Manual 2100-620A
Page 21 of 107
2. Installing Remote Indoor Temperature Sensor(s)
A single remote indoor temperature sensor is included with the controller. This sensor must be installed for proper
operation. Use the included 35' shielded cable to mount the temperature sensor in a location least likely to be
affected by open doors, rack-mounted fans, radiant heat sources, etc. Locating the sensor between both return grilles
is often the best location, but every installation is unique. Location height should be approximately 48" above the
floor. The sensor should be installed on a 4" by 4" junction box to allow for control wire conduit (see Figure 1.14).
For proper operation, the remote indoor temperature sensors must be configured properly with the controller. If only
the single remote indoor temperature sensor supplied with the controller is installed, the configuration setting is
FIGURE 1.14
Remote Indoor Temperature Sensor Installation
1. Connect wires from provided 35' shielded cable to terminals
#11 and #12. The connection is not polarity-sensitive.
2. Connect the other end of the 35' shielded cable to either of
the sensor terminals. These connections are also not polarity
sensitive.
Sensor is best mounted on a junction box, and it is
recommended that the cable be in conduit.

"0". This is the default setting. For information on checking the remote indoor temperature sensor configuration, see
Configuring Additional Remote Indoor Temperature Sensors on page 51.
For unique situations involving temperature flux within the shelter, up to two (2) additional sensors may be
purchased and installed to provide temperature-averaging or highest-temperature protection (see Figure 1.15).
Please see Configuring Additional Remote Indoor Temperature Sensors on page 51 in the Service section of this
manual to set up the additional remotes.
FIGURE 1.15
Additional Remote Temperature Sensor Installation
Up to two (2) additional sensors may be purchased and installed for averaging or highest-temp mode. Use
terminals #13, #14, #15 and #16. These connections are not polarity-sensitive.

3. Smoke, Hydrogen and Generator Alarms
The LC1500 PLC controller is shipped with a new smoke detector (and optional hydrogen detector if ordered from
Bard) for use in existing shelters. The existing smoke detector (and hydrogen detector, if applicable) should be
removed and disposed of properly. In cases where there are no existing detectors, follow the installation instructions
provided with each detector for location and mounting practices. Both controllers have the capacity to provide power
to a 24VDC smoke detector and a 24VDC hydrogen detector through fused power supply terminals. For proper power
and alarm wiring, review the provided wiring diagrams (see Figures 1.16 and 1.17).
Please note that the provided smoke detector (and hydrogen detector, if applicable) has external testing buttons to
artificially (and temporarily) create an alarm sequence. Additionally, should the desired NC contact closure need to
be changed to the alternative contact closure, please refer to the Service section of this manual to reprogram the
PLC control.
The generator run alarm (if desired) will be signaled through an existing (or field provided) relay attached to the site
generator. The signal from the controller will route through a set of normally closed contacts. Should the generator
start, the contacts will open, triggering the alarm and initiating “Generator Run Mode” (both compressors cannot
operate concurrently). Since some sites do not have a generator present, there is a factory-installed jumper across
terminals #9 and #10. If there is no generator, no action is necessary. If generator run alarm is desired, please
remove the factory-installed jumper and wire per Figure 1.18.
