3.3 XDU Fan Control
The Liebert® XDU shall utilize two EC fans to provide the maximum rated airflow at 100% fan speed. Airflow shall help
determine the leaving fluid temperature from the discharge of the XDU. Both fans shall operate simultaneously at the same
speed to provide the airflow needed to maintain the control setpoint for the leaving fluid temperature. The fans are not
redundant of one another.
Each fan is self-monitoring and will provide a digital signal if the fan is powered but fails to operate. On the failure of one fan,
the remaining fan in operation shall continue to operate and increase speed to compensate for the failed fan.

3.4 XDU Pump Lead/Lag Control
The two pumps in the Liebert XDU are lead/lag controlled to maintain equal runtime between the pumps, reduce corrosion,
and maintain the wetted seal surfaces of the lag pump. Only one pump shall operate at any given time to provide flow. The
lead/lag switchover of the two pumps is managed by the iCOM controller and shall switch operation of the pumps from lead
to lag without the interruption of flow. This is accomplished by first ramping down the operation of the lead pump while
simultaneously ramping up the speed of the lag pump. Pump lead/lag order can be manually switched via the iCOM
display. Pump lead/lag rotation is automatically switched after seven days of continuous pump operation by default. The
selectable range for pump rotation is 0 – 30 days. See Figure 3.1 below.
Figure 3.1 Pump Lead/Lag Control Chart
3.5 XDU Pump Monitoring
Each pump VFD shall receive a control signal that is used to monitor the health of the fluid system. After configuring the
flow rate setpoint via the iCOM display or remote communications and the pump speed signal reaches steady state, the
iCOM controller shall monitor the pump speed signal against the steady state value. In the event the pump speed signal
changes to a value outside (+/-) the range of the steady state value, a threshold warning shall annunciate letting the user
know to check the water system.
3.6 XDU Loss of Flow Control
Flow within the system is monitored by a unit mounted flow meter and pressure transducer pair across the pump . The two
measurements are required to identify the proper action to be taken and event to annunciate (loss of flow can be a result of
pump malfunction or strainer clog or valve closure). Switchover due to loss of flow shall result in a loss of flow alarm. Pump
switchover shall automatically occur if a pump is active but no flow is being detected.

3.8 XDU Quick Start
3.8.1 Configuring Quick Start
In the event of a power interruption to the iCOM™ controller, the unit components and controls shut down. Normally, after
power is restored, the iCOM controller must fully boot, and no pump flow or air flow occurs until the controls have fully
booted. Quick Start lets you determine the fan and pump output that the unit will provide before the controller fully boots.
When configured, the unit can provide airflow and fluid flow within 10seconds after power is restored to the controller. Quick
Start can be applied to fan, chilled water, and pump functions. Quick Start operates only during iCOM™ application boot,
then normal controller operation resumes.

Password Protected Site
When enabled, a log in session is required before any device information is displayed to the user. User level
credentials will allow only viewing of device information. Administrator level credentials are required to make any
changes.
Remote Write Access
When enabled, all web browsers have write access to data on all Unity card web pages when the user is logged in
with Administrator credentials. When disabled, write access is restricted to web browsers connected on an
Autoconfiguration IPv4 address. An Autoconfiguration IPv4 address is of the form 169.254.x.x, and is negotiated
automatically when a direct connection is made between the Ethernet port of your PC and the Ethernet port of the
Unity card. Regardless of this setting, all web browsers always have read access to the web pages (subject to the
setting of the Password Protected Site parameter), and the diagnostic information file can be generated when the
user is logged in with Administrator credentials (see Unity Support Information on page66).
NOTE: When remote write access is disabled, an indicator is displayed in the upper right corner of the web page as a
reminder, shown in the following figure.
NOTE: Only disable remote write access if you are absolutely sure that you do not need to administer the managed
device or the Unity card through a remote web browser session.

Certificate Configuration
When the web server protocol is configured to use HTTPS communications, all web server communication with all browsers
is encrypted and validated based upon the security algorithms and validity checks specified in the SSL certificate that is
currently installed in the card. By default, the card generates its own unique, self-signed SSL certificate when it is first
powered up. However, many installations want to install and use SSL certificate files that were generated by their own
Certificate Authority (CA).
Selections in Certificate provide commands to Upload SSL Certificate PEM Files or Generate Self-Signed SSL Certificate.

7 ADMINISTERING FIRMWARE, SETTINGS AND SECURITY
7.1 Liebert® iCOM™ Firmware Upgrades
NOTE: The iCOM™ Service Tool (iST) is required to update control board firmware. Contact technical support at 1800-222-5877 for information on control board updates.
7.2 iCOM Firmware Upgrades
NOTE: The iCOM Service Tool (iST) is required to update control-board firmware. Contact technical support at 1-800222-5877 for information on control-board updates.
7.2.1 Compatibility with Earlier Versions of Liebert®iCOM™
Versions of iCOM control firmware PA2.05.31R are incompatible with earlier firmware versions PA1.XX.XXXSTD.
The firmware versions PA2.05.31R and later cannot communicate with earlier versions. The Liebert® DSE and Liebert®
PDX/PCW will not operate with PA1.XX.XXXSTD installed.
Contact your Vertiv representative to upgrade firmware.
7.2.2 Updating Liebert® iCOM™ Control Board Firmware
The FIRMWARE UPGRADE panel shows the firmware version of the control board of the cooling unit. It also includes settings
to use while performing the upgrade.
NOTE: Only personnel who have completed Vertiv™ training should perform a control board update. The iCOM
Service Tool (iST) is required to update control board firmware. Contact technical support at 1-800-222-5877 for
information on control board updates.
1.Save the iCOM software to a USBflash drive formatted with a FAT32 file system.
•Make sure that the file name extension is all lower case. For example, .xbp not .XBP.
•Remove all other files with the .xpb extension from the flash drive.
•Refer to Control Board Firmware Upgrade Options on the next page, for the reset and retain options.
3. On the iCOM control board:
•Insert the flash drive into the P76 USB port. After a few seconds, the DS25 LED lights up green.
•P75 does not work for firmware upgrade.
•To continue with the upgrade, press the S3 button near the LED within 15seconds. The LED blinks blue
to indicate that the upgrade has commenced. When the upgrade completes, the LED blinks fast green,
and the board reboots with the new firmware.
4. Remove the USB flash drive after the board reboots.

7.2.3 Reverting to Firmware in Dormant Partition
The iCOM control board holds firmware in two partitions:
•The active partition holds the currently running firmware.
•The dormant partition holds the previously installed firmware.
Upon firmware upgrade, the new firmware writes to the dormant partition, which switches to the active partition when the
upgrade is complete. If needed, you can revert to the previously installed version that is now in the dormant partition while
the board boots after the upgrade.
To return to pre-upgrade firmware:
1.At boot, watch for the DS25LED to flash red then blue for a second or two, and after it flashes red then blue,
press and hold S3 for sixto10seconds until DS25 lights solid red then release. Figure 7.1 on the previous
page, shows DS25 and S3 on the board.
2. Upon releasing S3, DS25 blinks for threeseconds, and you must press and release S3 during that 3seconds. If
completed correctly, DS25 lights solid green and the board is reverted to the pre-upgrade firmware in the
dormant partition. If incorrect, DS25 is not lit and the board boots normally.
NOTE: Use these steps to switch between active/dormant partitions (current/previous firmware) as needed. The
switch can only be initiated right after a boot of the system, so power off the unit, wait fiveseconds, and power on the
unit, then start at step 1 above, as the system boots.
7.3 Backing Up and Restoring Control Board Settings
iCOM settings may be saved to a local disk or USB drive, and the saved files may be imported to restore iCOM if it is
replaced or if a problem occurs and to transfer settings to another iCOM.
1.Touch, then> Backup & Security > Control Backup/Restore. The BACKUP & RESTORE panel
opens.
2. Touch the Action Type drop-down, and select the action to perform.
3. Select the location, site, and system to save back-up files or load restore/replicate files. See Control Board Back

10 HARDWARE
Your unit includes the Liebert® iCOM™ controller. This section describes the installation of connections and cabling to fully
utilize the iCOM features.
10.1 Fluid Temperature Sensor
The Liebert® XDU shall come standard with supply and return fluid temperature thermistors. The iCOM controller shall
monitor the supply and return fluid temperature at the unit. A single thermistor shall be used to monitor the supply fluid
temperature and a separate thermistor shall monitor the return fluid temperature. Thermistors come pre-mounted and preconfigured from the factory.
10.2 Inlet and Outlet Air Sensors
The Liebert XDU shall come standard with an Inlet Air Temperature/Humidity and Discharge Air Temperature sensor. The
iCOM controller shall monitor the Inlet and Outlet Air sensors. These sensors are intended for reference only and cannot be
used for control. The sensors shall come pre-mounted and pre-configured from the factory.
10.3 Liebert® Liqui-tect Leak Detection
Liebert® Liqui-tect Leak Detection Sensors install quickly and work simply for reliable detection of conductive aqueous
fluid leaks. The sensors feature supervised operation: circuit failure or loss of power are detected and indicated as alarm
conditions, providing a completely self-monitored leak detection system.
10.3.1 Point Leak-Detention Sensor
The point leak-detection sensor should be placed at critical point(s) on the floor. Two corrosion-resistant, gold-plated
probes sense the presence of aqueous liquids. When a leak is detected, dual Form-C relay outputs can simultaneously signal
a local alarm panel and a remote monitoring system.
10.3.2 Zone Leak-Detection Sensor
The zone leak-detection sensor provides zone protection using the easy-to-install and quick-drying Liebert® leak detection
cable. LEDs on the top cover provide visual indication of the sensor status. A reset button provides optional manual
acknowledgment of alarms. Dual Form-C relay outputs simultaneously signal the local alarm panel and remote monitoring
system. The sensor is available in packaged kits with 20, 25, 30, 35 or 45 feet of leak detection cable and hold-down clips.
Note that additional cable cannot be added to packaged kits.
The leak-detection sensors are field wired to the low voltage terminal connection points of the electric panel. Each leakdetection sensor kit includes complete installation instructions. Consult factory service for questions regarding the
installation, connection, and operation of these sensors.

Activated when a temperature sensor is being used to control the fan speed. If the same sensor is used
for temperature control and fan speed control, then this value will reflect the same setpoint as the
temperature control setpoint. Manual mode uses fan speed STD for control.
Sets the type of control the unit will use to control fan speed. PI control gain is set in the Temp
Prop/Integral parameter. PI control will operate the fan speed so that the actual temperature of the
fan control sensor is equal to the fan temp setpoint. If P ROPORTIONAL only is selected, the fan will
change ONLY based on the deviation f rom setpoint which will allow the actual temp to settle higher
than setpoint.
Adjusts the fan speed rate of change based on the a ctual sensor values deviation from setpoint. The
smaller this number, the f aster the fans will increase speed. Too small of a number may cause the fans
increase/decrease to overshoot setpoint.
Adjusts the fans of the unit based on time a way from setpointso that accurate temperature control
can be m aintained. The proportional and integral work together to m aintain setpoint. Large p-band
with small integral time is a typical way to ac hieve stable c ontrol.
Avoids overshooting of the setpoint. The value entered in this field will be split in half by the fan speed
setpoint.
Allowsthe front display to be scaled to show the a ctual percentage of airflow independent of the
voltage operating the fan speed. This value cannot be set above/belowthe Analog Output High/Low
Limit for the fan set in the Advanced Menu. This also includes the service menu fan speed
parameters.
