WARNING! Risk of wiring damage, short circuits and electric shock. Can cause overheated wiring, smoke, fire,
activation of fire suppression systems and EMS personnel and equipment, building and equipment damage,
injury or death. Insert CSA certified or UL listed bushings into holes and or knockouts used to route wiring
through metal panels to protect the wire insulation from contact with sheet metal edges.
WARNING! Risk of explosive discharge of high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause serious injury. Neutral and
service ports on the rotalock valve do not have a valve core. Front-seat the service valves and relieve
pressure from the compressor before loosening a part or a component attached to the service valve. Follow
local codes to properly reclaim refrigerant.
CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause tubing and component rupture resulting in
equipment damage and personal injury. Do not close off the 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).

NOTICE
CAUTION: Risk of smoke generation. Can cause fire suppression and alarm system activation, resulting in
injury during building evacuation and mobilization of emergency fire and rescue services. Start-up operation
of optional electric reheat elements can create smoke or fumes that can activate the facility alarm and fire
suppression system. Prepare and take appropriate steps to manage this possibility. Activating reheat during
initial start-up may burn off particulates from electric reheat elements. Before beginning initial start-up
checks, make certain that unit was installed according to the instructions in this manual. All exterior panels
must be in place.
CAUTION: Risk of exposure to harmful noise levels. Can cause hearing injury or loss. Depending on the
installation and operating conditions, a sound pressure level greater than 70dB(A) may arise. Take
appropriate technical safety measures. Operating personnel must wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE
and observe all appropriate hearing-protection safety requirements.
Risk of improper power-supply connection. Can cause equipment damage and loss of warranty coverage.
Prior to connecting any equipment to a main or alternate power source (for example: back-up generator
systems) for start-up, commissioning, testing, or normal operation, ensure that these sources are correctly
adjusted to the nameplate voltage and frequency of all equipment to be connected. In general, power-source
voltages should be stabilized and regulated to within ±10% of the load nameplate nominal voltage. Also, ensure
that no three-phase sources are single-phased at any time.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
Liebert®DSE 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.
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant charge must be weighed into air-cooled compressorized systems before they are started. Starting
scroll and digital scroll compressors without proper refrigerant charging can cause the compressors to operate
at less than 5°F (–15°C) evaporator temperature and at less than 52psig(358kPa). Operation for extended
periods at less than 52psig(358kPa) can cause premature compressor failure.

NOTICE
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 improper water supply. Can reduce humidifier efficiency or obstruct humidifier plumbing.
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.
Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an external trap.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.
NOTE: The Liebert® indoor cooling unit has a factory-installed, high-pressure safety switch in the high-side
refrigerant circuit. Each refrigerant receiver contains a fusible plug for fire-safety purposes. Consult your local
building code to determine whether the refrigerant piping will require additional, field-provided pressure-relief
devices.

Vertiv | Liebert® D SE™ Installer/U ser Guide
The DSE controls superheat with an electronic expansion valve (EEV). The EEV controller adjusts the orifice based on
suction pressure and temperature. The EEV control will drive the valve to maintain the superheat setpoint, set in the
Liebert® iCOM, using a Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) routine. The PID control values are set at the factory for most
applications. These default values PID will allow stable superheat control of the unit.
For DA080/085 the default PID values must be updated to special PID values when the condenser is installed at the same
level as the evaporator or +10 feet (3m) above the evaporator. The PID control values (both default and special) are noted
Table 2.2 below.

The Liebert® DSE must be operated in a conditioned space within the operating envelope that ASHRAE recommends for
data centers. Operating the DSE outside of this envelope can decrease equipment reliability. Refer to ASHRAE’s
publication, “Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments.”
2.5.1 Cooling, Dehumidification and Humidification
The ASHRAErecommended maximum for return-air temperature is 105°F (40°C) and maximum dew point is 59°F (15°C).
The recommended minimum return-air temperature setpoint for the DSE is 75°F (24°C).
Operating outside this envelope can decrease equipment reliability.
NOTE: If running in supply-air control, the minimum supply-air setpoint is 64°F (18°C).
2 Pre-inst allation Pr eparationan dGuidelines

DA050 Dehumidification Control
The DA050 is designed to maximize sensible cooling not latent cooling loads.
The room load must be at least 37.6kW (74% of unit capacity) to prevent over cooling the room at 85°F (29°C) return air
temperature while in dehumidification mode. If the room load is too low to maintain the setpoint, the compressor will cycle
On and Off. For rooms with multiple units, we recommend performing dehumidification via Teamwork mode to prevent
compressor cycling in case of lightly loaded rooms. Liebert® DSE units in dehumidification mode might not hold the
temperature setpoint unless there is sufficient room load. This will allow for better dehumidification of the room. The DSE
will allow the return air temperature to run down to 68°F (20°C) regardless of the temperature setpoint during
dehumidification mode of operation.
DA080 and DA085 Dehumidification Control
The DA080 and DA085 will run at lower evaporator temperatures than a DA125. This will result in a higher percentage of
latent cooling than with a DA125 at a given return air temperature. Dehumidification on DA080 and DA085 is possible with
only one circuit running. In dehumidification mode, with one circuit running, a single stage 15-kW electric reheat (customer
option) is available to help offset cooling for lightly loaded rooms, but over-cooling will be allowed down to 68°F (20°C). If
the unit is running in dehumidification mode with both circuits (compressors) running, the electric reheat is not available to
offset cooling.All DSE units allow the indoor blower to run at a reduced speed during dehumidification mode to increase the
amount of dehumidification being performed.
DA125 Dehumidification Control
The DA125 is designed to maximize sensible cooling not latent cooling loads. With all four compressors running, no reheat
will be available at this dehumidification load point (Stage 4).
The room load must be 94.1kW (74% of unit capacity) to prevent over-cooling the room at 85°F (29°C) return air
temperature. If the room load is too low to maintain the setpoint, the compressors will cycle On and Off. During Stage 3, with
three of the four compressors running, 10 kW of reheat will be available to offset cooling. During Stage 1 and 2, with one and
two compressors running respectively, 30 kW of reheat is available to offset cooling. For rooms with multiple units, We
recommend performing dehumidification in Teamwork mode to prevent compressor cycling in case of lightly loaded rooms
or by having standard DSE units available to perform dehumidification. DSE units in dehumidification mode might not hold
the temperature setpoint unless there is sufficient room load. This will allow for better dehumidification of the room. The DSE
will allow the return air temperature to run down to 68°F (20°C) regardless of the temperature setpoint during
dehumidification mode of operation.
DA150 and DA165 Dehumidification Control
The DA150 and DA165 are designed to maximize sensible cooling not latent cooling loads. With all four compressors
running, no reheat will be available at this dehumidification load point (Stage 4).
The room load must be 94.1kW (74% of unit capacity) to prevent over-cooling the room at 85°F (29°C) return air
temperature. If the room load is too low to maintain the setpoint, the compressors will cycle On and Off. During Stage 3, with
three of the four compressors running, 10 kW of reheat will be available to offset cooling. During Stage 1 and 2, with one and
two compressors running respectively, 30 kW of reheat is available to offset cooling. For rooms with multiple units, We
recommend performing dehumidification via Teamwork mode to prevent compressor cycling in case of lightly loaded
rooms. DSE units in dehumidification mode might not hold the temperature setpoint unless there is sufficient room load.
This will allow for better dehumidification of the room. The DSE will allow the return air temperature to run down to 68°F
(20°C) regardless of the temperature setpoint during dehumidification mode of operation.

Vertiv | Liebert® D SE™ Installer/U ser Guide
2.5.2 Heating
The Liebert® DSE is qualified for heating-only operation at temperatures not exceeding 80°F (27°C).
2.5.3 Humidification Control
To prevent the humidifier from running when not required (especially when return air temperatures exceed 75°F [24°C]), the
default control for humidity and dehumidification is based on dew point temperature, not relative humidity. If this default
control is changed, adjust the relative humidity setpoint based on return air temperature to prevent from over-humidifying

4 PIPING AND REFRIGERANT REQUIREMENTS
All fluid and refrigeration connections to the unit, with the exception of the condensate drain, are sweat copper. Factoryinstalled 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 located so that it offers the least resistance to air flow. Careful planning of the
piping layout under the raised floor is required to prevent the air flow from being blocked. When installing piping on the
subfloor, we recommend that the pipes be mounted in a horizontal plane rather than stacked one above the other. Whenever
possible, the pipes should be run parallel to the air flow.
The following pipe connections are required:
•A drain line from the unit.
•A drain line from the secondary drain pan (if applicable).
•A water-supply line to the optional humidifier (if applicable).
•Refrigerant piping connections between the evaporator unit, the condensing unit, and the optional economizer
unit. See Refrigerant Piping and Charging on page34.
The pipe connection locations, piping general arrangement and schematics are described in the submittal documents
included in the Submittal Drawings on page127.
The following tables list the relevant documents by number and title.

4.1.1 Field-installed, Gravity-fed Drain Line Requirements
NOTICE
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.
Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an external trap.
A 3/4-in. NPT-Female drain connection is provided on DA050 to DA085 units without an optional condensate pump. A 11/8in. NPT-Female drain connection is provided on DA125 to DA165 units without an optional condensate pump.
Observe the following requirements and refer to Figure 4.1 on the next page, when installing and routing the drain line:
•The drain line must be sized for 2 gpm (7.6 l/m) flow.
•The drain line must be located so it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
•The drain should be the full size of the drain connection.
•The drain line must slope continuously away from the unit. Pitch drain line toward drain a minimum of 1/8in.
(3mm) per 1ft (305mm) of length.
•Drain is trapped internally. Do not externally-trap the drain line.
•The drain line must be rigid enough that it does not sag between supports, which unintentionally creates traps.
•The drain line must comply with all applicable codes.
•On units with the optional, factory-installed condensate pump, see Factory-installed Condensate Pump on
page33 and Condensate-pump Drain Line Requirements on page33.

4.2 Refrigerant Piping and Charging
WARNING! Risk of over-pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause explosive discharge of highpressure 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. For
systems requiring EU CE compliance (50Hz), the system installer must provide and install a pressure relief
valve in the high side refrigerant circuit that is rated same as the refrigerant high side “Max Allowable
Pressure” rating that is marked on the unit serial tag. Do not install a shutoff valve between the compressor
and the field installed relief valve. The pressure relief valve must be CE-certified to the EU Pressure
Equipment Directive by an EU “Notified Body.”
CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause tubing and component rupture resulting in
equipment damage and personal injury. Do not close off the 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).
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.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
Liebert®DSE 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.
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant charge must be weighed into air-cooled compressorized systems before they are started. Starting
scroll and digital scroll compressors without proper refrigerant charging can cause the compressors to operate
at less than 5°F (–15°C) evaporator temperature and at less than 52psig(358kPa). Operation for extended
periods at less than 52psig(358kPa) can cause premature compressor failure.
•Air-cooled units ship with a nitrogen holding charge. Do not vent the charge until all refrigerant piping is in
place, ready for connection to the unit and condenser.
•Use copper piping with a brazing alloy with a minimum temperature of 1350°F (732°C), such as Sil-Fos. Avoid
soft solders, such as 50/50 or 95/5.
•Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper oxide scale inside
the piping. When copper is heated in the presence of air, copper oxide forms. POE oils will dissolve these
oxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit them throughout the system, clogging filter driers and
affecting other system components.
•A pure dry nitrogen flow of 1-3 ft3/min (0.5-1.5 l/s) inside the pipe during brazing is sufficient to displace the air.
Control the flow using a suitable measuring device.
•Ensure that the tubing surfaces to be brazed are clean and that all burrs have been removed from the ends of
the tubes.
•Ensure that all loose material has been cleaned from inside the tubing before brazing.
•Protect all refrigerant line components within 18in. (460mm) of the brazing site by wrapping them with a wet
cloth or with a suitable heat-sink compound.
•Isolate piping from building using vibration-isolating supports.
•Condensers with receivers cannot be installed below the evaporator. The maximum height of the condenser
above the evaporator is 60ft (18.3m).
Consult the factory before installing units, condensers, and receivers outside these parameters.
•Consult factory if piping run exceeds 300ft (91m) actual length or 450ft(137.2m) equivalent length.
•Install traps on hot-gas (discharge) lines at the base of vertical risers over 5ft(1.5m) and then for vertical rises
over 25 ft (7.6m), install a trap in 20-ft (6-m) increments or evenly-divided over the vertical rise.
•Pitch horizontal hot-gas piping down at a minimum rate of 1/2in.per 10ft (42mm per 10m) so that gravity will
aid in moving oil in the direction of refrigerant/oil flow.
•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 discharge air stream.
•Refrigerant oil – do not mix oil types (see Compressor Oil on page102).
Refer to ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook for general, good-practice refrigeration piping. The indoor cooling unit has a
factory-installed high-pressure safety switch in the high side refrigerant circuit. A fusible plug is installed in each Liebert®
DSE receiver.
NOTE: All indoor and outdoor field refrigerant piping must be insulated 1/2 in. minimum. All outdoor insulation must
be UV and ozone resistant.
•Refer to Refrigerant Line Sizes and Equivalent Lengths on the next page, for recommended refrigerant piping
sizes based on equivalent pipe lengths.
•Refer to Refrigerant Charge Requirements for Air-cooled Systems on the next page, for the refrigerant-charge
requirements of the system.
•Refer to Charging Air-cooled Systems on page41, for charging information.

NOTE: Install a 1-3/8-in. liquid line between the receiver outlet on the condenser and the Liebert EconoPhase™ unit,
regardless of line sizes indicated in Table 4.4 above. See the piping schematics for your system in Submittal
Drawings on page127. For installations using pre-fabricated heat-rejection skids, included piping must be factored
into total equivalent length calculation. Please consult factory for details.

Risk of improper compressor lubrication. Can cause compressor and refrigerant system damage.
Failure to use oil types, viscosities and quantities recommended by the compressor manufacturer may reduce
compressor life and void the compressor warranty. See Table 9.3 on page102 for the recommended oil for
the system.
•Do not mix polyolester (POE) and mineral-based oils.
•Do not mix oils of different viscosities.
•Consult your Vertiv sales representative, visit https://www.Vertiv.com/en-us/support/, or contact the
compressor manufacturer if questions arise.
See Table 4.10 on the facing page, for the amount required for various system charge levels.
In addition to oil added based on system charge, additional oil is required for discharge-line field-installed traps. Standardformed tube traps are required, see Figure 4.2 below, and Table 4.11 on page40, because straight tubes and fittings
used as traps require much more oil and the length of the straight tube can vary.
After the system has been fully charged with refrigerant, use a hand pump to add the additional oil at the suction side of the
system while the system is running.
The amount of oil added by field service must be recorded on the tag marked “Oil Added Field Service Record,” attached
to each compressor. The date of oil addition must be included as well.

4.2.5 Evacuation, Leak-testing, and Charging Air-cooled Systems withReceivers
Two discharge lines and two liquid lines (one discharge line and one liquid line for DA050 models)must be field-installed
between the indoor unit and the outdoor condenser. See DPN002615 and DPN002340 in Submittal Drawings on page127.
for additional field-installed piping needed at the condenser.
NOTE: Keep the evaporator unit, EconoPhase, receiver, and condenser closed with their factory charge of dry
nitrogen while all field piping is installed. Keep the field piping clean and dry during installation. Do not allow it to
stand open to the atmosphere. When all the field interconnecting piping is in place, vent each outdoor unit’s dry
nitrogen charge and connect to the field piping. Finally, vent the evaporator unit's dry nitrogen charge and make its
piping connection last. Follow all proper brazing practices, including a dry nitrogen purge to maintain system
cleanliness. The condenser connection pipes must be wrapped with a wet cloth to keep the pressure and temperature
sensors cool during any brazing.
Evacuation and Leak-testing Air-cooled Systems
For proper leak-check and evacuation, you must open all system valves and account for all check valves.
NOTE: The system includes 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 the appropriate piping schematic for your system in Submittal Drawings
on page127.
1.Starting with Circuit #1, open the service valves and place a 150 PSIG (1034kPa) of dry nitrogen with a tracer
of refrigerant. Check system for leaks with a suitable leak detector.
2. With pressure still in Circuit #1, open the compressor service valves in Circuit#2.
•If pressure increases in Circuit#2, the system is cross-circuited and must be re-checked for proper
piping.
•If there is no pressure increase, repeat step1 on Circuit#2.
3. After completion of leak testing, release the test pressure, (observe local code) and pull an initial deep vacuum
of 500microns on the system with a suitable pump.
4. After 4hours, 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. Re-check the pressure after 2hours.
When the 3 checks are complete, remove the jumper hose from the service-valve fitting and the condenser, and
proceed to Charging Air-cooled Systems on the facing page.

Charging Air-cooled Systems
NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
R-410A is a blended refrigerant 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. We recommend
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 improper operation. Can cause compressor failure.
Operating the unit with the EEV closed can cause compressor failure. The reheat and humidifier are disabled. A
minimum of 20 psig (138 kPa) must be established and maintained for the compressor to operate. The
charging function can be reset as many times as required to complete
To charge the system:
1.Check the nameplate on the indoor unit for refrigerant type to be used. Unit control configurations differ
depending on refrigerant type.
2. The unit must be operating during charging, refer to Checklist for Completed Installation on page77, the
"Liebert® MC™ Installer/User Guide," and "Liebert® EconoPhase™ Installer/User Guide."
3. Calculate the amount of charge for the system. See Refrigerant Charge Requirements for Air-cooled Systems
on page36.
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 0.5lb(0.37kg).
5. Close the Liebert® MC and Liebert® EconoPhase disconnect switches.
•We recommend charging the unit with the return-air setpoint between 75°F and 85°F (24°C and 29°C).
•The return-air temperature to the unit being charged must be stable and must be maintained greater
than 65°F(18°C). If this is not possible due to lack of heat load, then the load banks must be used to offset
the cooling load during start-up. See Target Refrigerant-level in Sight Glasses at Outdoor Temperatures
on the next page.
6. Close the Liebert® DSE disconnect switch.
7. In the Service menu of the Liebert® iCOM controller, select Diagnostics/Service > Diagnostics:
a. Enable Manual Mode.
NOTE: Manual Mode times-out after 30 minutes.
NOTE: You must establish and maintain a minimum 20psig (138kPa) for the compressor to operate.
4 Piping an d Refrigerant Requirements
b. In Evaporator Fan options set Motors to On to operate the fan during Manual Mode.
c. In Compressor Circuit 1 options, set Compressor Mode to Charge to operate the compressor at full
capacity, energize the blower motor, and open the EEV.
d. Reset the charge function as many times as needed to complete unit charging.
e. Repeat step 7 for Compressor Circuit 2.
41
8. Check the refrigerant level in the refrigerant-level sight glasses on each receiver after the unit has been
operating for at least 15minutes.
NOTE: Each receiver at the condenser has 2 sight glasses and the refrigerant level varies with outside temperature.
9. Adjust the refrigerant level in each circuit to meet the level shown in Target Refrigerant-level in Sight Glasses
at Outdoor Temperatures below.
10. After adjusting the refrigerant, allow the system to operate an additional 15minutes before checking for the
need of further adjustment.
NOTE: A digital-scroll compressor can have a clear unit sight glass on the liquid line only when operating at 100%
capacity. When operating with a receiver, the unit sight glass might not become clear even when operating at 100%
capacity. When operating below 100%, the unit sight glass may show bubbles with each 15-second unloading cycle.

5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Three-phase electrical service is required for all models. Electrical service must conform to national and local electrical
codes. Refer to equipment nameplate regarding wire size and circuit protection requirements. Refer the appropriate
submittal drawing, listed in Electrical Field-connection Drawings on the next page, for electrical service entrances into unit
A manual electrical disconnect switch should be installed in accordance with local codes and distribution system. Consult
local codes for external disconnect requirements.
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 factory-supplied 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 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.
5 Electrical Connections
WARNING! Risk of improper wire sizing/rating 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 wiring damage, short circuits and electric shock. Can cause overheated wiring, smoke, fire,
activation of fire suppression systems and EMS personnel and equipment, building and equipment damage,
injury or death. Insert CSA certified or UL listed bushings into holes and or knockouts used to route wiring
through metal panels to protect the wire insulation from contact with sheet metal edges.
43
NOTICE
Risk of improper power-supply connection. Can cause equipment damage and loss of warranty coverage.
Prior to connecting any equipment to a main or alternate power source (for example: back-up generator
systems) for start-up, commissioning, testing, or normal operation, ensure that these sources are correctly
adjusted to the nameplate voltage and frequency of all equipment to be connected. In general, power-source
voltages should be stabilized and regulated to within ±10% of the load nameplate nominal voltage. Also, ensure
that no three-phase sources are single-phased at any time.
See transformer label for primary tap connections. Installer will need to change transformer primary taps if
applied unit voltage is other than pre-wired tap voltage.
NOTICE
Risk of improper electrical connection of three-phase input power. Can cause backward compressor rotation
and unit damage. Service technicians should use a gauge set on the system during the initial start up to verify
that the three-phase power is connected properly. The EC fans are not a reliable indicator of proper connection.
The blowers will rotate the same direction, regardless of the three-phase power input. Three-phase power must
be connected to the unit line voltage terminals in the proper sequence so that the compressors rotate in the
proper direction. Incoming power must be properly phased to prevent compressors from running backward.
We recommend checking the unit’s phasing with proper instrumentation to ensure that power connections were
made correctly. We also recommend verifying discharge and suction pressures during start up to ensure that
the compressors are running in the correct direction.
NOTE: Seal openings around piping and electrical connection to prevent air leakage. Failure to do so could reduce the
unit’s cooling performance.
The electrical and unit-to-unit connections are described in the submittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings on
page127.

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 factory-supplied 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 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
who have been specially-trained in the installation of air-conditioning equipment and who are wearing
appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE.
NOTICE
CAUTION: Risk of smoke generation. Can cause fire suppression and alarm system activation, resulting in
injury during building evacuation and mobilization of emergency fire and rescue services. Start-up operation
of optional electric reheat elements can create smoke or fumes that can activate the facility alarm and fire
suppression system. Prepare and take appropriate steps to manage this possibility. Activating reheat during
initial start-up may burn off particulates from electric reheat elements. Before beginning initial start-up
checks, make certain that unit was installed according to the instructions in this manual. All exterior panels
must be in place.
Risk of improper electrical connection of three-phase input power. Can cause backward compressor rotation
and unit damage. Service technicians should use a gauge set on the system during the initial start up to verify
that the three-phase power is connected properly. The EC fans are not a reliable indicator of proper connection.
The blowers will rotate the same direction, regardless of the three-phase power input. Three-phase power must
be connected to the unit line voltage terminals in the proper sequence so that the compressors rotate in the
proper direction. Incoming power must be properly phased to prevent compressors from running backward.
We recommend checking the unit’s phasing with proper instrumentation to ensure that power connections were
made correctly. We also recommend verifying discharge and suction pressures during start up to ensure that
the compressors are running in the correct direction.
•Confirm that all items on Checklist for Completed Installation on page77 have been done.
•Locate “Liebert® DSE Warranty Inspection Check Sheet” in the unit’s electric panel.
•Complete “Liebert® DSE Warranty Inspection Check Sheet” during start-up.
•Forward the completed “Liebert® DSE Warranty Inspection Check Sheet” to your local sales office. This
information must be completed and forwarded to validate warranty.
•Contact your local sales representative or technical support if you have any questions or problems during unit
start-up and commissioning. Visit https://www.Vertiv.com/en-us/support/ or call 1-800-543-2778 for contacts.
