The Bard Free Cooling Unit system is composed of wall-mounted air conditioners matched with a Bard-LinkTM PLC
lead/lag controller or thermostat. The wall mounts are specifically engineered for telecom motor control center rooms.
If only one wall-mounted air conditioner is being used, it can be matched with either the Bard-Link
TM
controller or thermostat. If more than one wall mount is installed, the Bard-Link
PLC lead/lag controller must be
matched with the air conditioning units.
TM
NOTE: The Bard-Link
PLC lead/lag controller and wall-mount units are designed specifically to work together. The
PLC controller cannot run other Bard models or other brands of systems, nor can other controllers run the
PLC wall-mount units. They are a complete system, and must be used together.
WALL-MOUNT AIR CONDITIONER UNITS
The W-Series units operate on VAC power.
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.
TM
BARD-LINK
PLC CONTROLLER
LC5000-100 (controller and accessories included with controller shown below).
The units will supply 100% of rated cooling airflow in free cooling mode
* One remote temperature/humidity sensor is included with the LC-5000-100 controller. If the site in which
the LC-5000-100 controller will be used has more than one zone (maximum three zones per LC-5000-100),
additional remote temperature/humidity sensors (one sensor per zone) will need to be purchased and installed
in the additional zones. One additional temperature-only sensor may also be used in Zone 1 but will also need
to be purchased separately.
SINGLE UNIT OPERATION
Bard thermostat 8403-077 or 8403-078 can be used in
place of the BARD-LINK
W-Series wall mount air conditioner is being installed.
If using a thermostat instead of the PLC controller, the
alarm logging and remote communication capabilities
of the controller will not be available. See page 20 for
information on installing and setting up the thermostat
for single unit operation.

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
Wall-mount air conditioners are available in both righthand 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 wall-mount
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
theses wall-mount 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.

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.
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.
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.

WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
Have a properly trained individual perform
these tasks.
Failure to do so could result in electric shock
or death.
Refer to the unit rating plate or Table 1.1 for wire
sizing information and maximum fuse or circuit breaker
size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum
Circuit Ampacity”. The field wiring used must be sized
to carry that amount of current. All models are suitable
only for connection with copper wire. Each unit and/or
wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper Conductors
Only”. These instructions must be adhered to. Refer
to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for complete
current carrying capacity data on the various insulation
grades of wiring material. All wiring must conform to
NEC and all local codes.

PRELIMINARY START-UP
RUNNING IN STAND ALONE (ORPHAN) MODE
With the AC breakers turned on, each W-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 77°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 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.

LC5000-100 CONTROLLER
The Bard-LinkTM LC5000-100 controller is part of
the wall mount Free Cooling Unit system. It is used
to control up to 12 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.
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.

Single Unit Operation
Bard thermostat 8403-077 or 8403-078 can be used in place
of the BARD-LINK
mount air conditioner is being installed. If using a thermostat
instead of the PLC controller, the alarm logging and remote
communication capabilities of the controller will not be available.
8403-077 Single Unit Controller, backup real time clock, buzzer
and backlit display.
8403-078 Single Unit Controller, buzzer and backlit display.
For optimum temperature sensor performance, the thermostat
should be mounted on an interior wall and away from any heat
sources, sunlight, windows, air vents, air circulation obstructions
and/or any other cause of erratic or false temperature sensing.
Follow the instructions included with 8403-077 or 8403-078 for
wiring connections from the thermostat to the wall-mount unit.
One remote indoor temperature/humidity sensor is included with the controller. This sensor must be installed for
proper operation. Use shielded cable to mount the temperature/humidity 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 1.12).
For proper operation, the remote indoor temperature/humidity sensor must be configured properly with the
controller. If only the single remote indoor temperature/humidity sensor supplied with the controller is installed, the
configuration setting is "0". This is the default setting. An additional remote indoor temperature-only sensor can be
purchased and installed in Zone 1. Also, temperature and humidity sensors can also be purchased and installed
in Zones 2 and 3 (one per zone). For information on remote indoor sensor configuration, see section on additional
sensors beginning on page 46.
FIGURE 1.13
Additional Remote Temperature and Temperature/Humidity Sensor Installation
One additional temperature sensor can be added to Zone 1 and additional temperature/humidity sensors may be
added to Zones 2 and 3 (one per zone). Be sure the sensors are connected to the proper terminals as listed below.

The LC5000 PLC controller is shipped with smoke detector contacts. There is a factory-installed jumper across
terminals #23 and #24. If there is no smoke detector, no action is necessary. If smoke detector alarm is desired,
please remove the factory-installed jumper and wire per Figure 1.14.

4. Communication Wiring
Connect the communication wiring from the wall-mount units to the controller in the manner shown in Figure 1.15.
The communication wire should be 2-wire, 18 gauge shielded cable with drain. Any color can be used. Be sure to
match "+" and "-" symbols on controller terminal blocks to prewired unit control terminal block (see Figures 1.17 and
1.18 on pages 26 and 27). Attach communication wire filters as shown in Figure 1.16. Use separate conduits for
Communication Wiring: Termination at the Controller
1. Using the field-provided shielded cable, make a small service loop after entering the controller and attach the provided
EMI filter at the intersection of the loop.
2. Connect one wire to terminal #27 (negative), the other wire to terminal #28 (positive) and the drain wire to ground
terminal #29.
