WARNING! Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power supply disconnect
switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate, OSHA approved personal protective
equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E before working within the electric control enclosure. Failure to comply can
cause serious injury or death. Customer must provide earth ground to unit, per NEC, CEC, and local codes,
as applicable. 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® controller 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 controller. 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 electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury, or death. Open all local and remote
electric power supply disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power is off before working within
any electric connection enclosures. Service and maintenance work must be performed only by properly
trained and qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable regulations and manufacturers’
specifications. Opening or removing the covers to any equipment may expose personnel to lethal voltages
within the unit even when it is apparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected from the
electrical source.
WARNING! Risk of over-pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause piping rupture, explosive
discharge of high pressure refrigerant, loss of refrigerant, environmental pollution, equipment damage,
injury, or death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure. Use extreme caution when
charging the refrigerant system. Do not pressurize the system higher than the design pressure marked on
the unit's nameplate. Relieve pressure before cutting into or making connections/disconnections to the
piping system. Local building or plumbing codes may require installing a pressure relief device in the
system.
Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure relief devices
when isolation valves are field installed. Do not isolate any refrigerant circuits from over-pressurization
protection. The PFH and MCD condensing units include a factory installed pressure relief valve mounted on
top of the receiver. The valve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 475 psig.

WARNING! Risk of contact with high speed, rotating fan blades. Can cause injury or death. Open all local and
remote electric power supply disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is off, and verify that all
fan blades have stopped rotating before working in the unit cabinet.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause serious injury or death. The 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 control. Open all local and remote electric power disconnect switches and
verify with a voltmeter that power is Off before working on any component of the system.
WARNING! Risk of improper wiring, piping, moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipment damage,
serious injury or death. Installation and service of this equipment should be done only by qualified personnel,
wearing appropriate, OSHA approved PPE, who have been specially trained in the installation of air
conditioning equipment.
WARNING! Risk of improper wire and loose electrical connections. Can cause overheated wire and electrical
connection terminals resulting in smoke, fire, equipment and building damage, injury or death. Use correctly
sized copper wire only and verify that all electrical connections are tight before turning power On. Check all
electrical connections periodically and tighten as necessary.
WARNING! Risk of unit falling off of the wall. Can cause building and equipment damage and serious injury. A
licensed professional structural engineer should evaluate the wall to determine if the unit may be safely
mounted on the wall and determine the type and size of fasteners required to support the weight of the unit
during all phases of operation because some vibration may occur during start, stop, and operation cycles.
The wall may need to be reinforced to support the maximum load of the unit. See Table 3.5 on page21, for
unit weights.
WARNING! Risk of ceiling collapse and heavy unit falling. Can cause building and equipment damage, serious
injury or death. If using a ceiling mounted condensing unit, verify that the supporting roof structure is
capable of supporting the weight of the unit(s) and the accessories. See the appropriate condensing unit
installer/user guide for the unit weights. Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods and verify that
all nuts are tight.
WARNING! Risk of smoke and fire. Can cause activation of fire suppression systems, building evacuation,
dispatching of fire/rescue equipment and personnel and catastrophic canister failure resulting in water
leaks, equipment damage, injury or death. Using a humidifier canister that has reached the end of it’s service
life can be extremely hazardous. If the canister cannot be replaced immediately at the end of life condition,
turn Off the power and water supply to the humidifier and remove the canister until a replacement canister
can be installed. Do not ignore humidifier problem alarms. Resetting humidifier without addressing cause
may result in fire or damage due to leaking water.

CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause tubing and component rupture resulting in
equipment damage and personal injury. Do not close off any field installed refrigerant line isolation valve for
repairs unless a pressure relief valve is field installed in the line between the isolation valve and the check
valve. The pressure relief valve must be rated 5% to 10% higher than the system design pressure. An
increase in ambient temperature can cause the pressure of the isolated refrigerant to rise and exceed the
system design pressure rating (marked on the unit nameplate).
CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters, and exposed fasteners. Can cause injury. Only
properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA approved PPE should attempt to move,
lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The compressor, refrigerant discharge lines,
fan motor, and some electrical components are extremely hot during unit operation. Allow sufficient time for
them to cool to a touch-safe temperature before working within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and
wear appropriate, OSHA approved PPE when working on or near hot components.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause burn injury. The humidifier canister and steam
discharge lines are extremely hot during operation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool to a touch-safe
temperature before handling. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate, OSHA approved PPE when
performing maintenance on the humidifier.
NOTICE
CAUTION: Risk of contacting caustic substances. Can cause injury. Avoid touching or contacting the gas and
oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Wear appropriate, OSHA approved PPE when handling
contaminated parts.
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
Liebert®DataMateDX systems require the use of POE (polyolester) 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.

NOTICE
NOTICE
Risk of clogged or leaking drain lines and leaking water supply lines. Can cause equipment and building
damage.
This unit requires a water drain connection. Drain lines must be inspected at start-up and periodically, and
maintenance must be performed to ensure that drain water runs freely through the drain system and that lines
are clear and free of obstructions and in good condition with no visible sign of damage or leaks. This unit may
also require an external water supply to operate.
Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit. Water
leakage can result in catastrophic and expensive building and equipment damage and loss of critical data
center equipment.
Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.
We recommend installing a monitored fluid detection system to immediately discover and report coolant fluid
system and condensate drain line leaks.
Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.
Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit. Do not mount
this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking water. Install a water-tight drain pan
with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the ceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the
drain line to a frequently used maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a
timely manner. Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and in the secondary
drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup, obstructions, kinks and/or damage and
verify that they are free running.

NOTICE
Risk of piping system corrosion and freezing fluids. Can cause leaks resulting in equipment and very expensive
building damage. Cooling coils and piping 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 and
piping corrosion. The water or water/glycol solution must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment
specialist before start-up 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.
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.
NOTICE
NOTICE
We recommend installing a monitored fluid detection system that is wired to activate the automatic closure of
field installed coolant fluid supply and return shut-off valves to reduce the amount of coolant fluid leakage and
consequential equipment and building damage. The shut-off valves must be sized to close off against the
maximum coolant fluid system pressure in case of a catastrophic fluid leak.
Risk of frozen pipes and corrosion from improper coolant mixture. Can cause water leaks resulting in
equipment and building damage.
When piping or the cooling unit may be exposed to freezing temperatures, charge the system with the proper
percentage of glycol and water for the coldest design ambient temperature. Automotive antifreeze is
unacceptable and must NOT be used in any glycol fluid system. Use only HVAC glycol solution that meets the
requirements of recommended industry practices.
Risk of no flow condition. Can cause equipment damage. Do not leave the water/coolant fluid supply circuit 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 water/coolant fluid supply circuit system operating
continuously.

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.
Risk of water backing up in the drain line. Leaking and overflowing water can cause equipment and building
damage.
Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory installed trap inside the cabinet.
Installation of a second trap will prevent drain water flow and will cause the water to overflow the drain pan.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handling boiling water for the
drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an external trap.
Risk of doorway/hallway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may be too large to fit
through a doorway or hallway while on the skid. Measure the unit and passageway dimensions, and refer to the
installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify clearances.
Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to
fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
NOTICE
Risk of improper storage. Can cause unit damage.
Keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from dampness, freezing temperatures and contact damage.

3 SITE PREPARATION AND EQUIPMENT HANDLING
NOTE: Before installing unit, determine whether any building alterations are required to run piping, wiring and
ductwork. Follow all unit dimensional drawings and refer to the submittal engineering dimensional drawings of
individual units for proper clearances.
3.1 Planning Dimensions
The unit dimensions are described in the submittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings on page107.

3.2 Room Preparation
The room should be well insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the ceiling and walls can be a
polyethylene film. Paint on concrete walls and floors should be vapor resistant.
NOTE: The vapor barrier is the single most important requirement for maintaining environmental control in the
conditioned area.
Outside or fresh air should be kept to a minimum when tight temperature and humidity control is required. Outside air adds
to the site’s cooling, heating, dehumidifying and humidifying loads. We recommend keeping the outside air below 5% of the
total air circulated in the computer room. Doors should be properly sealed to minimize leaks and should not contain
ventilation grilles.

3.4 Location Considerations
When determining installation locations, consider that these units contain water and that water leaks from ceiling mounted
condensing units can cause damage to sensitive equipment and furniture below.
NOTICE
Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.
Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit. Do not mount
this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking water. Install a water-tight drain pan
with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the ceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the
drain line to a frequently used maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a
timely manner. Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and in the secondary
drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup, obstructions, kinks and/or damage and
verify that they are free running.

3.4.1 Location Considerations for Evaporator, Indoor CondensingandChilled WaterUnits
The system can be installed in several ways. However, you should always mount the evaporator on a wall in the equipment
room.
•For an air cooled system with an indoor condensing unit, the condensing unit may be installed near the
evaporator to minimize piping, or near the outside wall to minimize air duct work.
•For water/glycol cooled systems, a DMC condensing unit may be close coupled with the evaporator or a
remote MCD indoor condensing unit may be installed above the ceiling or below a raised floor.
Refer to Refrigerant Line Sizes and Equivalent Lengths on page44 for maximum refrigerant line lengths.
Do not install units in areas where normal unit operating sound may disturb the working environment.
When installing an air cooled or water/glycol cooled unit inside a space, ensure that national and local codes are met for
refrigerant concentration limits that might vary with building type and use.
Try to locate the evaporator in an unobstructed floor space to facilitate service. Avoid locations in confined areas that affect
the air flow pattern and result in short cooling cycles, downdrafts and air noise. Figure 3.1 below, shows location
recommendations. Avoid locating the unit in an alcove or at the extreme end of a long, narrow room. Avoid installing
multiple units close to each other, which can result in crossing air patterns, uneven loads and competing operating modes.
Do not attach additional devices (such as smoke detectors, etc.) to the cabinet. Doing so interferes with routine maintenance
and service.

3.4.2 Location Considerations for an Outdoor Condensing Unit
For an air cooled system using an outdoor condensing unit, the condensing unit may be mounted on the roof or remotely in
any outdoor area.
Observe the following when planning the installation of the outdoor unit:
•To ensure a satisfactory air supply, locate air cooled condensing units in an environment with clear air, away
from loose dirt and foreign matter that may clog the coil.
•Condensing units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air, or fume exhausts or closer than 18 inches
from a wall, obstruction, or adjacent unit.
•Avoid areas where heavy snow will accumulate at air inlet and discharge locations.
•The condensing unit should be located for maximum security and maintenance accessibility. Avoid ground
level sites with public access. Install a solid base, capable of supporting the weight of the condensing unit.
•The base should be at least 2in. (51mm) higher than the surrounding grade and 2 in. (51mm) larger than the
dimensions of the condensing unit base. For snowy areas, a base of sufficient height to clear snow accumulation
must be installed.
•Securely attach the unit to the base using the holes provided in the unit mounting rails to prevent unit
movement that might stress refrigerant piping and electrical wiring.
Before beginning, refer to Piping and Refrigerant Requirements on page37 for unit placement, piping guidelines, and
refrigerant charge requirements for your system.
The condensing unit must be located within the maximum distance from the evaporator using the evaporator guidelines
listed in Piping when Condensing Unit is Above or Below Evaporator on page43.

Do not un-crate the equipment until it is close to its final location. All required assemblies are banded and shipped in
corrugated containers. If any damage is discovered when the unit is un-crated, report it to the shipper immediately. If any
concealed damage is later discovered, report it to the shipper and to your Vertiv representative.

4 INSTALLATION
Refer to the appropriate installation procedures depending the configuration and options of your Liebert® DataMate
Thermal Management System.
4.1 Installing Wall Mounted EvaporatorsandChilled Water Units
WARNING! Risk of unit falling off of the wall. Can cause building and equipment damage and serious injury. A
licensed professional structural engineer should evaluate the wall to determine if the unit may be safely
mounted on the wall and determine the type and size of fasteners required to support the weight of the unit
during all phases of operation because some vibration may occur during start, stop, and operation cycles.
The wall may need to be reinforced to support the maximum load of the unit. See Table 3.5 on page21, for
unit weights.
Unlatch the front cabinet door and remove the screws that secure the cabinet to the chassis. Lift off the cabinet. Eight
keyholes (0.50 in. head, 0.22 in. slot) are provided on the back of the unit for mounting on the wall. The unit must be level.
4.1.1 Changing Air Flow Direction
The air discharge grille on the evaporator can be placed in one of three different positions: vertical, horizontal, or 45°.
To change the air flow direction:
1.Remove the front panel using quarter-turn fasteners.
2.Remove the cabinet by removing the four retaining screws, then lift off the cabinet.
3.Remove the left end panel.
4.Remove the grille by sliding it to the left end of the unit.
5.Rotate or invert the grille to change the air discharge direction.
6.Reverse steps 1 through 4, to re-assemble the unit.

4.2 Installing Outdoor Condensing Unit forAir CooledSplit Systems
Refer to the appropriate guidelines and drawings when installing an outdoor, condensing unit for an air cooled split system.
See Location Considerations for an Outdoor Condensing Unit on page20. Follow all applicable national and local building,
electrical and plumbing codes.
4.3 Installing Ceiling Mounted Condensing Units
WARNING! Risk of ceiling collapse and heavy unit falling. Can cause building and equipment damage, serious
injury or death. If using a ceiling mounted condensing unit, verify that the supporting roof structure is
capable of supporting the weight of the unit(s) and the accessories. See Table 3.5 on page21, for the unit
weights. Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods and verify that all nuts are tight.

NOTICE
Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.
Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit. Do not mount
this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking water. Install a water-tight drain pan
with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the ceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the
drain line to a frequently used maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a
timely manner. Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and in the secondary
drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup, obstructions, kinks and/or damage and
verify that they are free running.
4.3.1 Installing Suspension Rods andMounting Ceiling Units
Refer to the Location Considerations on page18 before beginning installation. These instructions apply to indoor air cooled
and remote indoor water/glycol condensing units.
NOTE: Follow all national and local building, electrical, and plumbing codes.
•The ceiling and ceiling supports of existing buildings may require reinforcements.
•Four 3/8-in.-16 TPI threaded suspension rods are required and field supplied.
•The factory supplied 3/8-in. 16 TPI hardware kit includes the remaining installation hardware.
•Recommended clearance between ceiling grids and building structural members is the unit’s height plus 3in.
(76mm).
To install the suspension rods:
1.Install the four field supplied 3/8-in. 16 TPI threaded rods by suspending them from suitable building structural
members so that they will align with the four mounting locations on the unit base.
2.Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods with field supplied nuts.
3.Make sure all nuts are tight and locked.
To lift and install the unit on the rods:
1.Using a suitable lifting device that is rated for the weight of the unit (see Unit Weights on page21), raise the
unit and pass the threaded rods through the four mounting locations in the unit base.
2.Attach the threaded rods to the flanges using the plain nuts to hold the unit in place as shown in Figure 4.1 on
the facing page.
3.Slowly lower the lifting device, making sure that the rods securely hold the weight of the unit.
4.Adjust the plain nuts to distribute the weight of the unit evenly by the rods, making sure that the unit does not
rest on the ceiling grid and that the unit is level.
5.Use the Nylock nuts to jam the plain nuts in place as shown in Figure 4.1 on the facing page.
