SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of the Liebert®DSE. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or operate
this unit.
Only qualified personnel should move, install or service this equipment.
Adhere to all warnings, cautions, notices and installation, operating and safety instructions on the unit
and in this manual. Follow all installation, operation and maintenance instructions and all applicable
national and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.
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 serious 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 the component electric-connection enclosures. Fan-motor controls can
maintain an electric charge for 10 minutes after power is disconnected. Wait 10 minutes after
power is verified as off before working within the fan electric control/connection enclosures.
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. 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.”
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.

WARNING! Risk of improper moving. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Use only
lifting equipment that is rated for the unit weight by an OSHA-certified rating organization. The
center of gravity varies depending on the unit size and selected options. The slings must be
equally spaced on either side of the center of gravity indicator.
Shipping weights and unit weights are listed in the tables in Shipping Dimensions and Unit
Weights on page22. Use the center of gravity indicators on the unit to determine the position
of the slings.
WARNING! Risk of contact with high-speed rotating fan blades. Can cause serious injury or
death. Open all local and remote electric power-supply disconnect switches, verify with a
voltmeter that power is off, and verify that all fan blades have stopped rotating before working
in the unit cabinet or on the fan assembly. If control voltage is applied, the fan motor can restart
without warning after a power failure.
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. Unit weights are specified in Shipping
Dimensions and Unit Weights on page22.
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.
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.
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).
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, OSHA-approved PPE should attempt to remove or install
cabinet panels.
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 improper moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipment damage or
injury. Only properly trained and qualified personnel should work on this equipment. Fan
modules weigh in excess of 125-lb (56.7-kg). Use proper lifting techniques and wear
appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE to avoid injury and dropping the fan module during removal.
Equipment used in handling/lifting, and/or installing the fan assembly must meet OSHA
requirements. Use handling/lifting equipment rated for the weight of the fan assembly. Use
ladders rated for the weight of the fan assembly and technicians if used during installation.
Refer to handling/lifting, and/or installation equipment operating manual for manufacturer's
safety requirements and operating procedures.
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.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with extremely hot water and part surfaces. Can cause burn injury.
The infrared humidifier bulbs, metal enclosure, humidifier water, water reservoir pan and drain
tubing are very hot during and shortly after operation. Allow sufficient time for these parts to
cool to a touch-safe temperature before handling. Use extreme caution, and wear appropriate,
OSHA-approved PPE when performing maintenance on the infrared humidifier.

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.
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
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 completely demineralized water with this unit. The water must contain minerals for
the electrode principle to work.
Do not use a hot water source. It will cause deposits that will eventually block the fill-valve
opening.

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.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handling
boiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an
external trap.
Risk of doorway/hallway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may
be too large to fit through a doorway or hallway while on the skid. Measure the unit and
passageway dimensions, and refer to the installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify
clearances.
Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a
height suitable to fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
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 highside 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.

3 PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATIONANDGUIDELINES
NOTE: Before installing unit, determine whether any building alterations are required to run piping,
wiring and ductwork. Follow all unit dimensional drawings and refer to the submittal engineering
dimensional drawings of individual units for proper clearances.
Refer to Table 2.2 on page11, and submittal drawings to determine the type of system being installed
and anticipate building alterations, piping and ductwork needed.
The unit dimensions, pipe-connection locations, and piping schematics are described in the submittal
documents included in the Submittal Drawings on page93.
•Verify that the floor is level, solid and sufficient to support the unit. See 3.6 on page22 for unit
weights.
•Confirm that the room is properly insulated and has a sealed vapor barrier.
•For proper humidity control, keep outside or fresh air to an absolute minimum (less than 5% of
total air circulated in the room).
•Do not install a Liebert® DSE in an alcove or at the end of a long, narrow room.
•Install the units as close as possible to the largest heat load.
•Allow at least the minimum recommended clearances for maintenance and service. See the
appropriate submittal drawings for dimensions.

NOTE: Follow standard practices in all ductwork.
3.4 Connections and System Setup
•The unit requires a drain, which must comply with all applicable codes. This drain line may
contain boiling water. See Field-installed, Gravity-fed Drain Line Requirements on page32, for
details.
•Three-phase electrical service is required for all models. Electrical service must conform to
national and local electrical codes. See equipment nameplate for details.
•Plan the routing of wiring, piping and ductwork to the unit. Refer to the appropriate piping
connection location drawings, piping schematics, and electrical-connection drawings for your
system in Submittal Drawings on page93.
•If seismic requirements apply, consult your Vertiv representative for information about a
seismic-rated floor stand.
NOTE: Seal openings around piping and electrical connection to prevent air leakage. Failure to do so
could reduce the unit’s cooling performance.
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.
3 Pre-installation PreparationandGuidelines19
Page 20
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 3.2 below.

3.5 Operating Conditions
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.”
3.5.1 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).
Vertiv | Liebert® DSE™ Installer/UserGuide
Page 21
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.
3.5.2 Heating
The Liebert® DSE is qualified for heating-only operation at temperatures not exceeding 80°F (27°C).
3 Pre-installation PreparationandGuidelines21
Page 22
3.5.3 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.

5 PIPING AND REFRIGERANT REQUIREMENTS
All fluid and refrigeration connections to the unit, with the exception of the condensate drain, 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).
•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 page35.
The pipe connection locations, piping general arrangement and schematics are described in the
submittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings on page93.
The following tables list the relevant documents by number and title.

5.1 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.
5.1.1 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.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handling
boiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an
external trap.
A 3/4-in. NPT-Female drain connection is provided on DA050 to DA085 units without an optional
condensate pump. A 1-1/8in. NPT-Female drain connection is provided on DA125 to DA165 units without
an optional condensate pump.
Observe the following requirements and refer to Figure 5.1 on the facing 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.
•Use copper or other material suitable for draining water that can reach temperatures up to
212°F (100°C).
•The drain line must comply with all applicable codes.
•On units with the optional, factory-installed condensate pump, see Factory-installed
Condensate Pump on page34 and Condensate-pump Drain Line Requirements on page34.

5.1.2 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.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handling
boiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an
external trap.
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.
•Use copper or other material suitable for draining water that can reach temperatures up to
212°F (100°C).
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.
•On 60-Hz units, the condensate pump is rated for approximately 400gphat 10ft
(1514l/mat3m) total head.
•On 50-Hz units, the condensate pump is rated for approximately 315gphat 10ft (1192l/m at
3m) total head.
5.1.3 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 (1034kPa).
•Size supply line for 1 gpm (3.8 l/m), with a minimum water pressure of 20psi(138kPa).
•Do not supply de-ionized water to the humidifier.

5.2 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. 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 overpressurization protection.
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.
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 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 evaporator 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.
5 Piping andRefrigerant Requirements35
Page 36
•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 every
20ft(6m) for vertical rises over 25 ft (7.6m), then 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 page70).
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 kit 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.
•Refer to Charging Air-cooled Systems on page41, for charging information.

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 10.3
on page70 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 local sales representative, Vertiv product support at 1-800-543-2778, or the
compressor manufacturer if questions arise.
See Table 5.9 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. Standard-formed tube traps are required, see Figure 5.2 on the facing page and Table 5.10 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.

5.2.5 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
Appendix C: on page93. for additional field-installed piping needed at the condenser.
NOTE: Keep the evaporator unit, EconoPhase, 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 page93.

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 below.
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.service . 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 calculate the charge for 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, refer to Checklist for Completed Installation on page49, 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 page37.
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
Refrigerant-level Sight Glasses ontheReceiver on the next page.

•A minimum 20psig (138kPa) must be established and maintained for the compressor to
operate.
•The charging function operates the compressor at full capacity, energizes the blower
motor, and opens the EEV.
•The charging function can be reset as many times as required to complete unit charging.
7. 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.
8. Adjust the refrigerant level in each circuit to meet the level shown in Refrigerant-level Sight
Glasses ontheReceiver below.
9. After adjusting the refrigerant, allow the system to operate an additional 15minutes before
checking the for the need of further adjustment.
NOTE: A digital-scroll compressor can have a clear sight glass only when operating at 100% capacity.
When operating with a receiver, the sight glass might not become clear even when operating at 100%
capacity. When operating below 100%, the sight glass may show bubbles with each 15-second
unloading cycle.
Refrigerant-level Sight Glasses ontheReceiver
On the receiver(s) at the condenser are 2refrigerant-level sight glasses. Refrigerant level will vary with
outside temperature and return-air temperature at the indoor unit. Check refrigerant level after the unit
has been on for at least 15 minutes and the return-air temperature is stable between 75°F and 85°F (24°C
and 29°C). Make any adjustments to the refrigerant charge to achieve the following levels.

6 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 Table 6.1 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.
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,

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.
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.
Risk of improper electrical supply connection. Can cause equipment damage. 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.

10.3 Infrared Humidifier Maintenance
During normal humidifier operation, deposits of mineral solids will collect in humidifier pan and on the float
switch. These must be cleaned periodically to ensure proper operation. Frequency of cleaning must be
locally established since it is dependent on humidifier usage and local water quality. A spare pan is
recommended to reduce maintenance time at unit. The Liebert® autoflush system can greatly increase
the time between cleanings, but does not eliminate the need for periodic checks and maintenance (see
Liebert® iCOM™ user manual SL-31075 for autoflush setup). To help reduce excessive scaling in locations
with difficult water quality, the use of Vapure™ is recommended (contact your local sales representative).
CAUTION: Risk of contact with extremely hot water and part surfaces. Can cause burn injury.
The infrared humidifier bulbs, metal enclosure, humidifier water, water reservoir pan and drain
tubing are very hot during and shortly after operation. Allow sufficient time for these parts to
cool to a touch-safe temperature before handling. Use extreme caution, and wear appropriate,
OSHA-approved PPE when performing maintenance on the infrared humidifier.
10.3.1 Cleaning Humidifier Pan and Float Switch
Before turning the unit Off:
1. With unit operating, remove call for humidification at the Liebert® iCOM control.
2. Let the blower operate 5 minutes to allow the humidifier and water to cool.
3. If unit has a condensate pump, turn unit OFF at Liebert® iCOM control.
4. Pull out the humidifier standpipe in pan.
5. Inspect the O-ring (replace if necessary).
6. Let the pan drain and condensate pump operate (if applicable).
7. Disconnect power from the unit.

•Inspect and tighten support hardware.
10 Maintenance69
Page 70
10.6 Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Maintenance
The EEV controls superheat through the Liebert® iCOM™ controls by actively measuring suction
pressure via a transducer attached to the suction-line rotalock and suction temperature via a thermister
strapped to the suction line. The EEV actively adjusts the orifice size and resulting mass flow of refrigerant
to maintain the superheat setpoint (set in Liebert® iCOM). The EEV is used in place of the standard
thermal expansion valve (TXV).
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause serious injury or death. The Liebert® iCOM
microprocessor does not isolate power from the unit, even in the "Unit Off" mode. Some internal
components require and receive power even during the "unit off" mode of the Liebert® iCOM
control. Open all local and remote electric power disconnect switches and verify with a
voltmeter that power is Off before working on any component of the system.
NOTE: Intermittent loss of subcooling may result in EEV/superheat instability. If superheat instability is
observed, check for proper refrigerant level in receiver (see Refrigerant Piping Guidelines
forAir-cooledSystems on page35 for the proper charge level). If proper charge is observed in receiver,
and superheat remains unstable, then increase superheat setting in the Liebert® iCOM to 15°F (8.49°C).
10.7 Compressor Maintenance
10.7.1 Compressor Oil
NOTICE
Risk of improper compressor lubrication. Can cause compressor and refrigerant system
damage.

Appendix B: Disassembling the DSE for Transport
The Liebert® DSE has a modular frame construction that allows separating the unit into three sections.
Each of these sections is more easily maneuvered through tight spaces or placed in small elevators.
A qualified service technician with the required tools and recommended assistance can disassemble an
air-cooled unit in about four hours, assuming refrigerant evacuation is not required.
This procedure requires four or more people for lifting the filter and electric-box assembly.
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. 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.”
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.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges and exposed fasteners. Can cause injury. Wear
appropriate, OSHA-approved personal protective equipment (PPE) when installing the
