IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation
and maintenance of the Liebert DS
operate this unit.
Only qualified personnel should move, install or service this equipment.
Adhere to all warnings, cautions and installation, operating and safety instructions on the unit and in
this manual. Follow all operating and user instructions.
WARNING
!
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
Disconnect local and remote power supplies before working within.
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 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 iCOM
control.
The factory-supplied optional disconnect switch is inside the unit. The line side of this switch
contains live high-voltage.
The only way to ensure that there is NO voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote
disconnect switch. Refer to unit electrical schematic.
Follow all local codes.
WARNING
!
Risk of explosive discharge from high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause injury or death.
This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure. Relieve pressure before working with
piping.
™
. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or
WARNING
!
Risk of refrigerant system rupture or explosion from overpressurization. Can cause
equipment damage, injury or death.
If a pressure relief device is not provided with the condenser unit, the system installer must
provide and install a discharge pressure relief valve rated for a maximum of 500 psig (34bar)
in the high side refrigerant circuit. Do not install a shutoff valve between the compressor and
the field installed relief valve.
One or more additional pressure relief valves are required downstream of any and all fieldinstalled isolation valves as shown in Figures 57 and 58 . Do not isolate any refrigerant

For systems requiring EU CE compliance (50Hz), the pressure relief valve must be CE
certified to the EU Pressure Equipment Directive by an EU “Notified Body.”

WARNING
!
Risk of high-speed moving parts. Can cause injury or death.
Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies before working in the unit.
Do not operate upflow units without installing a plenum, ductwork or guard over the blower
opening(s) on the top surface of the unit cabinet.
Ductwork must be connected to the blower(s), or a plenum must be installed on the blower
deck for protection from rotating blower wheel(s) on upflow units.
CAUTION
!
Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury.
The compressors, refrigerant discharge lines, humidifiers and reheats are extremely hot
during unit operation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool before working within the unit
cabinet. Use extreme caution and wear protective gloves and arm protection when working on
or near hot compressors, discharge lines, humidifiers and reheats.
CAUTION
!
Risk of leaking water. Can cause equipment and building damage.
This unit requires a water drain connection. It may also require an external water supply to
operate.
Improper installation, application and service practice can result in water leakage from the
unit. Water leakage can result in severe property damage and loss of critical data center
equipment.
Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.
Emerson recommends installing leak detection equipment for unit and supply lines.

2.0 COOLING CONFIGURATIONS
NOTE
All field-installed piping must comply with applicable local, state and federal codes.
Cooling Configurations
Air-Cooled
Air-cooled unit piping is spun closed from
the factory and contain a nitrogen holding
charge. Each installation requires refrigerant
piping to a condenser.
GLYCOOL
GLYCOOL units are factory-charged and tested. Field-installed
piping is required from the unit to the drycooler and pump
package. An additional coil is included for use when fluid
emperatures are sufficiently low (below room temperature).
Cooling is provided by circulating cold glycol through this
econd coil, reducing compressor operation.
Glycol-cooled units are factory-charged and
tested. Field-installed piping is required from the
unit to the drycooler and pump package.
Glycol-Cooled
Water-Cooled
Water-cooled units are factory-charged and
tested. Field-installed water piping is
required from the unit to the cooling tower.
Dual-Cool
This system has all of the features of a compressorized
system, but adds a second cooling coil that is connected
to a source of chilled water. Cooling is provided by
circulating water through this second coil and reducing
compressor operation.

3.0 PRE -INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
3.1 Room Preparation
• Verify that the floor is level, solid and sufficient to support the unit. See Table 2 for unit weights.
• Confirm that the room is properly insulated and has a sealed vapor barrier.
• For proper humidity control, keep outside or fresh air to an absolute minimum (less than 5% of
total air circulated in the room).
• Do not install Liebert DS units in an alcove or at the end of a long, narrow room.
• Install the units as close as possible to the largest heat load.
• Allow at least the minimum recommended clearances for maintenance and service. See
Figures 6 through 21 for dimensions.
• Emerson recommends installing an under-floor water detection system. Contact your local Emerson representative for information.
3.2 Air Distribution—Downflow Units
• Verify that the raised floor has been properly sized for the unit’s airflow and the room is free of
airflow restrictions.
• Perforated floor tiles in the raised floor should ensure minimal pressure loss.
• The raised floor must provide 7-1/2" (191mm) of clearance.
• Ensure that there is adequate clearance above the unit for service, such as replacing filters.
• Optional plenums are available for downflow unit ducting.

3.3 Air Distribution—Upflow Units
Various configurations are available:
• Front return
• Rear return
•Top-front supply
• Top-rear supply
For in-room applications with supply and return grilles, several feet of clearance must be maintained
at the intake and discharge of the unit.
Upflow rear-return configurations use a filter box attached to the back of the Liebert DS. Allow 25"
(635 mm) on one side of the unit for access to the rear return filter box. Refer to the rear return installation sheet, 187230P1, inside the rear return filter box package.
WARNING
!
Risk of high-speed moving parts. Can cause injury or death.
Disconnect all local and remote electric power supplies before working in the unit.
Do not operate upflow units without installing a plenum, ductwork or guard over the blower
opening(s) on the top surface of the unit cabinet.
Ductwork must be connected to the blower(s), or a plenum must be installed on the blower
deck for protection from rotating blower wheel(s) on upflow units.

3.4 Connections and System Setup
• Plan the routing of wiring, piping and ductwork to the unit. See Figure 55 and Figures 66
through 79 for unit connection locations.
• Water/glycol and GLYCOOL units utilizing a drycooler may require an optional aquastat setting.
See Tables 58 through 57 aquastat setting guidelines. Applications with the optional stat setting require field piping to be insulated to prevent condensation.
• The unit requires a drain, which must comply with all applicable codes. This drain line may contain boiling water. See 8.1.1 - Condensate Piping—Field-Installed for details.
• Three-phase electrical service is required for all models. Electrical service must conform to
national and local electrical codes. See equipment nameplate for details.
• If seismic requirements apply, consult your local Emerson representative for information about a
seismic-rated floor stand.
3.5 Operating Conditions
• The Liebert DS must be operated in a conditioned space within the operating envelope ASHRAE
recommends for data centers: Maximum temperature of 77°F (25°C) DB and 55% RH or maximum WB of 65.5°F (18.6°C).
Operating outside this envelope can decrease equipment reliability.
• Return air to the unit must be no cooler than the ASHRAE recommendation of 68°F (20°C) DB
and 40% RH or minimum WB of 54°F (12.2°C) for proper unit operation.
Operating below this can decrease equipment reliability.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
Refer to ASHRAE’s publication, “Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments.”
