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 70dB(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 52psig(358kPa). Operation for extended periods at less than 52psig(358kPa) 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 ASHRAErecommended 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 eparationan dGuidelines

DA050 Dehumidification Control
The DA050 is designed to maximize sensible cooling not latent cooling loads.
The room load must be at least 37.6kW (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 94.1kW (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 94.1kW (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.

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 the space.

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 page34.
The pipe connection locations, piping general arrangement and schematics are described in the submittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings on page127.

4.1 Drain and Humidifier Fluid Piping

NOTICE
Risk of water leakage. Can cause severe property damage and loss of critical data center equipment.
The Liebert®DSE requires a water drain connection. Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit.
Do not locate the unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.
We recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the water supply lines and the internal unit water lines.

Vertiv | Liebert® D SE™ Installer/U ser Guide

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 1­1/8in. 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 1/8in. (3mm) per 1ft (305mm) 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 page33 and Condensate-pump Drain Line Requirements on page33.

4.1.2 Condensate-pump 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.
Observe the following requirements when installing and routing the drain line:
The drain line must be located so it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Size the piping based on the available condensate head.
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.
We recommend installing monitored, under-floor leak-detection equipment.
Factory-installed Condensate Pump
If your unit includes an optional condensate pump, the pump is factory-installed inside the unit and a 1/2-in. copper sweat connection is provided on the unit.

4.1.3 Water Supply-line Requirements for the Optional Humidifier

The unit may have an optional humidifier. Refer to the appropriate supply-line piping requirements if a humidifier is included on your unit:
Infrared Humidifier:
1/4-in. supply line, maximum water pressure is 150 psi (1034kPa).
Size supply line for 1 gpm (3.8 l/m), with a minimum water pressure of 20psi(138kPa).
Do not supply de-ionized water to the humidifier.

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 (50Hz), 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 52psig(358kPa). Operation for extended periods at less than 52psig(358kPa) can cause premature compressor failure.

Vertiv | Liebert® D SE™ Installer/U ser Guide
4.2.1 Refrigerant Piping Guidelines forAir-cooledSystems
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 18in. (460mm) 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 60ft (18.3m). Consult the factory before installing units, condensers, and receivers outside these parameters.
Consult factory if piping run exceeds 300ft (91m) actual length or 450ft(137.2m) equivalent length.
Install traps on hot-gas (discharge) lines at the base of vertical risers over 5ft(1.5m) and then for vertical rises over 25 ft (7.6m), 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 1/2in.per 10ft (42mm per 10m) 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 page102).
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.

4.2.4 Additional Oil Requirements forScrollandDigital-scrollCompressors
NOTICE
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 page102 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 page40, 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 withReceivers
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 page127. 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 page127.
1. Starting with Circuit #1, open the service valves and place a 150 PSIG (1034kPa) 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 step1 on Circuit#2.
3. After completion of leak testing, release the test pressure, (observe local code) and pull an initial deep vacuum of 500microns on the system with a suitable pump.
4. After 4hours, 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 2hours. 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.

Vertiv | Liebert® D SE™ Installer/U ser Guide
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 page77, 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 page36.
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 0.5lb(0.37kg).
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 20psig (138kPa) for the compressor to operate.

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 15minutes.
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 15minutes 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 page127.
The following tables list the relevant documents by number and title.

6 EC FANS AND PLENUMS

Depending on the air-distribution options of your unit, you may have EC fans and/or plenums to install.

6.1 Downflow Units with EC Fans

DSE downflow models are equipped with EC fans that may operate in the fully-raised position or lowered into the floor stand for increased efficiency from reduced air resistance.
WARNING! Risk of very heavy 125-lb (56.7-kg) fan modules dropping downward suddenly. Can cause injury or death. Support fan modules before removing mounting hardware. Use caution to keep body parts out of the fan modules pathway during repositioning. Only properly trained and qualified personnel should work on this equipment.
CAUTION: Risk of improper handling of heavy and lengthy parts. Can cause personal injury and equipment damage. Cabinet panels can exceed 5ft (1.5m) in length and weigh more than 35lb (15.9kg). Follow relevant OSHA lifting recommendations and consider using a two-person lift for safe and comfortable removal and installation of cabinet panels. Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA­approved PPE should attempt to remove or install cabinet panels.
NOTE: Use fans either in their original raised position or with the fans in their fully-lowered position. Suspension of fans in an intermediate position will directly affect product performance and is not recommended.

6.1.1 Lowering the EC Fans into the Floor Stand on Downflow Models

NOTE: If your floor-stand height is between 9in.(228.6mm) and 21in. (533.5mm), please contact the factory before attempting to lower the fans into the floor stand. If the floor-stand height is 24in. (609.6mm) up to 48in. (1219.2mm), the fans can be installed and lowered into the floor stand.
Tools Needed
1/2-in. hex socket and wrench
Factory-supplied jack, crank and jack support
Cable tie cutter
To lower the fans:
1. Remove the middle and bottom panels from the front of the unit.
2. For ease of fan lowering, We recommend removing the infrared humidifier.
3. Position the factory-supplied jack and jack support under the fan to be lowered.
4. Raise the jack to safely support the fan before removing any hardware.
NOTE: The jack should be centered between the first and second set of tabs on the jack support (see Detail A in Figure 6.1 on the next page).

6.3 Upflow-unit Plenums with EC Fans

EC fans on upflow units are mounted external to the unit in a factory-provided plenum. The plenum distributes air to the conditioned space through adjustable, double-deflection grilles, or connects with field-supplied duct work.
Read all instructions before installing plenums and EC fans.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and contact with high-speed moving parts. Open all local and remote electric power-supply disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is off, and visually verify that all fans have stopped rotating before opening doors, removing panels, and working within the unit cabinet. This unit may start and stop operating automatically. Do not assume that electric power is off when the unit is not operating.
WARNING! Risk of contact with sharp edges, exposed fasteners, and improper handling of very heavy parts. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Use extreme caution, wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE, and install the EC fan(s) and plenum to the unit only as described in these instructions.
More than one person may be required to complete the assembly and installation. Installer(s) must be properly trained and qualified to lift, move and manipulate very heavy equipment from floor level to the top of the unit.
Wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE when moving, lifting and installing the fan(s) and plenum.
Equipment used in moving, lifting and installing the fan(s) and plenum must meet OSHA requirements and be rated for the weight of the fan(s) and plenum. If ladders are used, verify that they are rated for the combined weight of the fan(s), plenum and installer(s) as loaded. EC Fan and plenum weights are specified in Table 6.1 on the next page and Table 6.2 on the next page.
Read and follow the lifting equipment and/or ladder manufacturer's operating instructions and safety requirements.
NOTE: Grilled plenums are intended for use in upflow configurations only. Non-grilled plenums provide service access on upflow units with duct work.
NOTE: We recommend using a duct lift or scissors lift when installing the EC-fan assemblies on top of the unit.

8 INITIAL START-UP CHECKS ANDCOMMISSIONINGPROCEDURE FORWARRANTYINSPECTION
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.
