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 top heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury or
death. Read all of the following instructions and verify that all lifting and moving equipment is rated for the
weight of the unit before attempting to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.
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.
CAUTION: 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 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 handling 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.
CAUTION: Risk of exposure to harmful noise levels. Can cause hearing injury or loss. Depending on the

NOTICE
NOTICE
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).
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: backup generator
systems) for startup, 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.
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.
NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant charge must be weighed into air cooled compressorized systems before they are started. Starting
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 startup 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.
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 cause 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.
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.

through metal panels to protect the wire insulation from contact with sheet metal edges.
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 startup to verify
that the three phase power is connected properly. 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 startup to ensure that the compressors are
running in the correct direction.

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: backup generator
systems) for startup, 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.
NOTE: Seal openings around piping and electrical connection to prevent air leakage. Failure to do so could reduce the
unit’s cooling performance.
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 Table 5.1 below, for electrical service entrances into unit
•Liebert® DSE voltage should be verified with available power supply before installation. Refer to the unit’s
electrical schematic and serial tag for specific electrical requirements. Line voltage electrical service is also
required for all condensers at the location of the condenser.
•For the most reliable operation of the system, the indoor unit and the Liebert® MCV condenser should be on the
same power source. The Liebert® DSE system offers an option for a power feed from the active source on the
indoor unit to the outdoor condenser. This configuration provides the greatest reliability and fastest recovery
during power loss or source change.
•When powering the outdoor condenser from the indoor unit, there is a breaker/fuse on the indoor unit.
•A unit disconnect is standard on the Liebert® MCV skid. However, a site disconnect may be required per local
code to isolate the unit for maintenance. Refer to the unit’s serial tag for specific condenser electrical
requirements.
•Route the supply power to the site disconnect switch and then to a factory provided high voltage enclosure
located on the MCV heat rejection skid.
•A manual electrical disconnect switch should be installed in accordance with local codes and distribution
system. Consult local codes for external disconnect requirements.
The electrical and unit to unit connections are described in the submittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings.

6 PIPING AND REFRIGERANT REQUIREMENTS
All fluid and refrigeration connections to the unit are sweat copper. Factory installed 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).
•Refrigerant piping connections between the evaporator unit and the MCV440 heat rejection skid. See
Refrigerant Piping and Charging on page26.
The pipe connection locations, piping general arrangement and schematics are described in the submittal documents
included in the Submittal Drawings.
The following tables list the relevant documents by number and title.

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.
6.1.1 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.
Observe the following requirements 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.
•We recommend installing monitored, under floor leak detection equipment.

•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 3/4 in. copper sweat
connection is provided on the unit.
6.2 Refrigerant Piping and Charging
WARNING! Risk of over pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause 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.
CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause equipment damage or injury resulting from
tubing and component rupture. 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.

Vertiv | Liebert ® DSE Thermal Management S ystem In staller/User Guide
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.
•Field installed interconnecting piping should be properly selected based on local codes and unit labeling.
•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.
•The Liebert® MCV heat rejection skid cannot be installed below the evaporator.
•The DA250 is used with a Liebert® MCV heat rejection skid with receiver tanks. For this system, the outlet of
the receivers on the outdoor Liebert® MCV heat rejection skid must be higher than the elevation of the
electronic expansion valves (EEVs) inside of the indoor unit. If the vertical height of the receiver outlet is
greater than 60 ft. (18.3m) above the EEV, consult the factory. Refer to DPN003965 in Submittal Drawings on
page61.
•The DA265 is used with a Liebert® MCV heat rejection skid with without receiver tanks. For this system, the
bottom of the condenser coil on the outdoor Liebert® MCV heat rejection skid must be higher than the
elevation of the EEV inside of the indoor unit. If the vertical height between the condenser coil bottom and the
EEV is greater than 60 ft. (18.3m), consult the factory. Refer to DPN005207 in Submittal Drawings on page61
•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. (7.6 m), install a trap in 20 ft (6 m) increments or evenly-divided over the vertical rise. The DA250
with piping out the top of the unit has internally installed traps on the hot gas lines.
•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.
•Consult factory if piping run exceeds 200ft. (61m) linear length or 300ft.(91m) equivalent length.
6 Pip ing and Refrigerant Requirements

•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).
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 below, for recommended refrigerant piping sizes based
on equivalent pipe lengths.
•Refer to Refrigerant Charge Requirements for Air Cooled Systems on the facing page, for the refrigerant-charge
requirements of the system.

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 Compressor Oil Types for R-410A Refrigerant, 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 6.2.5 above, 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. Standard
formed tube traps are required, see Figure 6.2 below, and Table 6.11 on page32, 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.

6.2.6 Evacuation, Leak Testing, and Charging Air Cooled Systems
Two discharge lines and two liquid linesmust be field installed between the indoor unit and the outdoor condenser.
NOTE: Keep the evaporator unit, receiver (if equipped), 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.
1.Starting with Circuit #1, open the service valves and place a 150 PSIG (1034kPa) of dry nitrogen with a tracer
of refrigerant. Check the 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 fourhours, 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 twohours.
When the three checks are complete, remove the jumper hose from the service valve fitting and the condenser,
and proceed to Charging DA250 Air Cooled Systems (Liebert® MCV440 with Receivers) on the facing page.

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.
