This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of the Liebert Mini-Mate2. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or
operate this unit. Only properly trained and qualified personnel should move, install or service this
equipment. Adhere to all warnings, cautions 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. Disconnect all electric power supplies and wear
protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working within 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 microprocessor control 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. The line side of the disconnect switch on the front of the
unit 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 and check the internal power supply wires with
a voltmeter. Refer to unit electrical schematic. Follow all applicable national and local electric
codes.
WARNING! Risk of explosive discharge from high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause injury or
death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure. Relieve pressure before
working with piping.
WARNING! Risk of refrigerant system rupture or explosion from overpressurization. Can cause
equipment damage, injury or death. If a pressure relief device is not provided with the
condenser unit, the system installer must provide and install a discharge pressure relief valve
per national and local codes in the high side refrigerant circuit. Do not install a shutoff valve
between the compressor and the field-installed relief valve. Do not isolate any refrigerant
circuits from overpressurization protection.
WARNING! Risk of high-speed moving parts. Can cause injury or death. Open all local and
remote electrical power disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and the
blower, pulleys and belts have stopped moving before working in the unit cabinet.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The refrigerant discharge lines,
humidifiers and reheats are extremely hot during unit operation. Allow sufficient time for them
to cool before working within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and wear protective gloves
and arm protection when working on or near hot discharge lines, humidifiers and reheats.

CAUTION: Risk of sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners. Can cause injury. Only
properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear, gloves, shoes
and glasses should attempt to move the unit, lift it, remove packaging from or prepare the unit
for installation.
NOTICE
Risk of leaking water. Can cause equipment and building damage.
Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Do not mount this unit over equipment or furniture that can be damaged by leaking
water. Install a watertight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the
ceiling mounted water/glycol condenser unit. Route the drain line to a frequently used
maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a timely manner.
Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. Vertiv™
recommends installing monitored leak detection equipment for unit and supply lines and in
the secondary drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup,
obstructions, kinks and/or damage and verify that they are free running.
NOTICE
Risk of a leaking coil due to freezing and/or corrosion. Can cause equipment and building
damage.
Cooling coils and piping systems that are connected to open cooling towers or other open
water/glycol systems are at high risk for freezing and premature corrosion. Fluids in these
systems must contain the proper antifreeze and inhibitors to prevent freezing and premature
coil corrosion. The water or water/glycol solution must be analyzed by a competent water
treatment specialist before startup to establish the inhibitor requirement. The water or
water/glycol solution must be analyzed every six months to determine the pattern of inhibitor
depletion. The complexity of water-caused problems and their correction makes it important to
obtain the advice of a water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled maintenance
program.
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 damage.

7.1.1 Room Preparation
The room should be well insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the ceiling
and walls can be a polyethylene film. Paint on concrete walls and floors should contain either rubber or
plastic.
NOTE: The single most important requirement for maintaining environmental control in the
conditioned room is the vapor barrier.
Outside or fresh air should be kept to a minimum when tight temperature and humidity control is
required. Outside air adds to the cooling, heating, dehumidifying and humidifying loads of the site. Doors
should be properly sealed to minimize leaks and should not contain ventilation grilles.
7.1.2 Location Considerations
CAUTION: Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment, furniture and building damage.
Do not mount units over equipment or furniture that can be damaged by leaking water /glycol.
Install a watertight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit and ceiling
mounted water-cooled condensing unit. Route the drain line to a frequently used maintenance
sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a timely manner. Post a sign to alert
people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan.
NOTE: Do NOT mount units in areas where normal unit operating sound may disturb the working
environment.
Locate the evaporator unit over an unobstructed floor space if possible. This will allow easy access for
routine maintenance or service. Do not attach additional devices (such as smoke detectors, etc.) to the
housing, as they could interfere with the maintenance or service.
NOTE: Temperature and humidity sensors are located in the wall box. Carefully select a position for the
box where discharge air DOES NOT blow directly on the sensors.

7.3 Equipment Inspection Upon Receipt

When the unit arrives, do not uncrate equipment until it is close to its final location. All required
assemblies are banded and shipped in corrugated containers. If you discover any damage when you
uncrate the unit, report it to the shipper immediately. If you later find any concealed damage, report it to
the shipper and to your Liebert supplier.
7.4 Installing the Ceiling Units
WARNING! Risk of ceiling collapse and heavy unit falling. Can cause building damage, serious
injury or death. Verify that the supporting roof structure is capable of supporting the weight of
the unit(s) and the accessories during installation and service. (See Ceiling Unit Weights
above.) Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods and verify that all nuts are tight.
The evaporator unit and indoor condensing unit are usually mounted above the ceiling and must be
securely mounted to the roof structure. The ceiling and ceiling supports of existing buildings may require
reinforcements. Be sure to follow all applicable national and local building codes. Use field-supplied
threaded suspension rods and 3/8"–16 factory hardware kit.
Recommended clearance between ceiling grids and building structural members is unit height plus three
inches (76.2mm).
Install the four field-supplied rods by suspending them from suitable building structural members. Locate
the rods so that they will align with the four mounting holes in the flanges that are part of the unit base.
Using a suitable lifting device that is rated for the weight of the unit (see Ceiling Unit Weights above),
raise the unit up and pass the threaded rods through the four mounting holes in the flanges that are part
of the unit base.

Attach the threaded rods to the unit flanges using the supplied nuts and grommets (see Figure 7.6 on
page 36). The rubber grommets provide vibration isolation.
1. Use the plain nuts to hold unit in place. Adjust these nuts so that the weight of the unit is
supported evenly by the four rods, does not rest on the ceiling grid and is level.
NOTE: The units must be level in order to drain condensate properly.
2. Use the Nylock nuts to “jam” the plain nuts.
7.4.1 Close Coupled Installations

If the evaporator and condensing units are to be mounted side-to-side (close coupled), hang each unit
before connecting them together (see Figure 7.8 on page 39). Align bolt holes in the condensing unit
and in the evaporator. Insert rubber spacers and secure four (4) sets of hardware provided. Align the
refrigerant connections and tighten them as described in Piping Connections and Coolant Requirements
on the next page.
7.4.2 Evaporator Air Distribution
Filter Box
The optional filter box mounts directly to the return air opening of the evaporator. The filter box is
supplied with 1" (25.4mm) duct flange connection, quantity two, 20" x 20" x 4" nominal (508mm x 508mm x
102mm) filters and a 1" (25.4 mm) duct flange for use on the supply air opening. Filters are MERV 8
efficiency per ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007.
NOTE: Do not operate the unit without filters installed in return air system.
Connections for Ducted Systems

Use flexible duct work or non-flammable cloth collars to attach duct work to the unit and to help control
the transmission of vibrations to building structures. Insulation of duct work is vital to prevent
condensation during the cooling cycle. The use of a vapor barrier is required to prevent absorption of
moisture from the surrounding air into the insulation.
If the return air duct is short or if noise is likely to be a problem, sound-absorbing insulation should be
used inside the duct. Duct work should be fabricated and installed in accordance with national and local
codes.

7.4.3 Piping Connections and Coolant Requirements
Drain Line
NOTICE
Risk of water backing up in the evaporator coil drain line and overflowing the drain pan. Can
cause building and equipment damage.
Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory-installed trap
inside the cabinet.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other suitable material for the drain line.
A 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) NPT-female connection is provided for the evaporator coil condensate drain. This line
also drains the humidifier, if applicable. 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 evaporator drain pan includes a float switch to prevent unit operation if drain becomes blocked.
The optional condensate pump kit is required when the evaporator is installed below the level of the
gravity-fed drain line.

Humidifier Water Supply Line
Units supplied with the optional humidifier package have a 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) copper compression fitting
connection for water inlet. Supply pressure range is 10 psig to 150 psig. Required flow rate is 1 gpm
(3.8 lpm). A shut-off valve should be installed in this line to isolate the humidifier for maintenance.
NOTE: Do NOT route humidifier supply line in front of filter box access panel.
Chilled Water Piping—On chilled water units install manual service shut-off valves at the supply and
return lines of each unit. These shut-off valves are used for routine service or emergency isolation of the
unit.
Chilled water supply and return lines must be insulated. Insulating them will prevent condensation of the
water supply and return lines to the unit.
The minimum recommended water temperature is 42°F (5.5°C). Connection sizes are 1-1/8" (28.6mm) OD
copper.
Water/Glycol Piping—Water- and glycol-cooled systems require coolant loop connections as specified in
the condensing unit installation instructions.
Refrigerant R-407C Piping—All split systems require two refrigerant lines (an insulated copper suction
line and a copper liquid line) between the evaporator and the condensing unit.
WARNING! Risk of explosive discharge of high pressure refrigerant. Can cause serious injury.
Relieve refrigerant system pressure before working with piping/connections.
Two possible methods exist for installing the copper suction and liquid lines.
• Close coupling the units together using the quick connects. (See Figure 7.8 on page 39).
• Using an optional sweat adapter kit and hard piping between the two units.
All refrigeration piping should be installed with high temperature brazed joints. Prevailing good
refrigeration practices should be employed for piping supports, leak testing, evacuation, dehydration and
charging of the refrigeration circuits. The refrigeration piping should be isolated from the building by the
use of vibration isolating supports. To prevent tube damage when sealing openings in walls and to reduce
vibration transmission, use a soft flexible material to pack around the tubes.
When installing remote condensing units above the evaporator, the suction gas line should be trapped at
the evaporator. This trap will retain refrigerant oil in the off cycle. When the unit starts, oil in the trap is
carried up the vertical riser and returns to the compressor.

Quick Connect Fittings
NOTE: When hard piping is used, complete all piping and evacuate lines before connecting quick
connects.
Be especially careful when connecting the quick connect fittings. Read through the following steps before
making the connections.
1. Remove protector caps and plugs.

2. Carefully wipe coupling seats and threaded surfaces with a clean cloth.
3. Lubricate the male diaphragm and synthetic rubber seal with refrigerant oil.
4. Thread the coupling halves together by hand to insure that the threads mate properly.
5. Tighten the coupling body hex nut and union nut with the proper size wrench until the
coupling bodies “bottom out” or until a definite resistance is felt.
6. Using a marker or pen, make a line lengthwise from the coupling union nut to the bulkhead.
7. Tighten the nuts an additional quarter-turn; the misalignment of the lines shows how much
the coupling has been tightened. This final quarter-turn is necessary to insure that the joint
will not leak. Refer to Table 7.11 below for torque requirements.

7.4.4 Electrical Connections

Each unit is shipped from the factory with internal wiring completed. Refer to electrical schematic when
making connections. Electrical connections to be made at the installation site are:
• Power supply to each ceiling unit.
WARNING! Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Disconnect all electric power supplies and wear
protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working within electric control enclosure. Failure to
comply can cause serious injury or death. The Liebert microprocessor control does not isolate
power from the unit in the Unit Off mode. Some internal components require and receive power
even during the Unit Off mode. The line side of the disconnect switch on the front of the unit
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 and check the internal power supply wires with a
voltmeter.
• Control wiring between the evaporator unit and the condensing unit, if applicable.
• Control wiring between the control panel (wallbox) and the evaporator unit control board.

Power Connections
All power and control wiring and ground connections must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and local codes. Refer to Unit serial tag data for electrical requirements.
WARNING! Risk of loose electrical wiring connections. Can cause overheating of wire, smoke
and fire resulting in building and equipment damage, serious injury or death. Use copper wiring
only. Verify periodically that all connections are tight.
Voltage supplied must agree with the voltage specified on the unit serial tag. If a field supplied disconnect
switch is required, it may be bolted to the ceiling unit, but not to any of the removable panels. This would
interfere with access to the unit. Make sure that no refrigerant lines are punctured when mounting the
disconnect switch.
Route the electrical service conduit through the hole provided in the cabinet and terminate it at the
electric box. Make connections at the factory terminal block or disconnect switch, L1, L2, L3. Connect
earth ground to lug provided. 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.
An optional single point power kit is available for units that are close coupled (See Piping Connections
and Coolant Requirements on page 30). This kit should be mounted inside the condensing unit before
installing the unit in the ceiling. Specific installation instructions are included with the single point power
kit.
Control Connections
A field-supplied, 4-wire control connection (24 VAC) is required between the evaporator and the
condensing unit. Control wiring must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
Class 2 circuit. Glycol cooled units also require a two-wire control connection to the drycooler and pump. A
Class 1 circuit is required for Water/Glycol units.
Control wiring between the evaporator and the condensing unit must not allow a voltage drop in the line
of more than 1 volt (16 gauge minimum for 75 feet). Do not connect additional electrical devices to the
control circuit. The circuit breaker, contained in the transformer housing, is sized only for the factory-
supplied control system.
Additional control wiring will be required if your system includes other optional monitoring and control
devices.
Four (4) wire (thermostat type) must be connected between the evaporator control board and the wall
box. See Figure 7.7 on the next page.

7.5 Indoor Air-Cooled Centrifugal Fan Condensing Unit Installation

NOTE: Follow all national and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.

The centrifugal fan air-cooled condensing unit may be located above the dropped ceiling or any remote
indoor area. If noise is of concern, the condensing unit should be located away from personnel. Normal
operating sound may be objectionable if the condensing unit is placed near quiet work areas.
To mount the unit in the ceiling, refer to Installing the Ceiling Units on page 28.

Refer to Electrical Connections on page 36 for general wiring requirements and cautions. Refer to
electrical schematic when making connections. Refer to unit serial tag for full load amp and wire size amp
ratings.

Power Connections
The condensing unit requires its own power source and earth ground, with a disconnect switch to isolate
the unit for maintenance.
NOTE: Refer to serial tag for full load amp and wire size amp ratings
Control Connections
Field-supplied control wires must be connected between the evaporator and the condensing unit (See
Figure 7.7 on page 38 and Figure 7.10 on page 42) and the electrical schematic on the units for more
details.) Four wires are required between the evaporator and condensing unit.
7.5.3 Piping Connections

Details for refrigerant loop piping are in Piping Connections and Coolant Requirements on page 30.
7.5.4 Ducting
Fan operation is designed for 3500 CFM (5947 CMH) at 0.5" (0.12kPa) external static pressure.
General Considerations
Use flexible ductwork or nonflammable cloth collars to attach ductwork to the unit and to control
vibration transmission to the building. Attach the ductwork to the unit using the flanges provided. Locate
the unit and ductwork so that the discharge air does not short circuit to the return air inlet.
Ductwork that runs through a conditioned space or is exposed to areas where condensation may occur
must be insulated. Ductwork should be suspended using flexible hangers. Ductwork should not be
fastened directly to the building structure.
For multiple unit installations, space the units so that the hot condensing unit exhaust air is not directed
toward the air inlet of an adjacent unit.
Considerations for Specific Applications

In applications where the ceiling plenum is used as the heat rejection domain, the discharge air must be
directed away from the condensing unit air inlet and a screen must be added to the end of the discharge
duct to protect service personnel. Locate the air discharge a minimum of 4 feet from an adjacent wall.
Failure to do so may result in reduced air flow and poor system performance.
If the condensing unit draws air from the outside of the building, rain hoods must be installed. Hood intake
dimensions should be the same as the condensing unit duct dimensions. In addition, install a triple layer
bird screen over rain hood openings to eliminate the possibility of insects, birds, water or debris entering
the unit. Avoid directing the hot exhaust air toward adjacent doors or windows.

Figure 7.10 Indoor air-cooled centrifugal condenser electrical connections

Figure 7.11 System piping with indoor or outdoor air-cooled condensing unit

7.6 Outdoor Air-Cooled Condensing Unit Installation
NOTE: Follow all national and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.

To ensure a satisfactory air supply, locate air-cooled propeller fan condensing units in an environment
providing clean air, away from loose dirt and foreign matter that may clog the coil. Condensing units must
not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts or closer than 18 inches from a wall,
obstruction or adjacent unit. Avoid areas where heavy snow will accumulate at air inlet and discharge
locations.
The condensing unit should be located for maximum security and maintenance accessibility. Avoid
ground-level sites with public access.
Install a solid base, capable of supporting the weight of the condensing unit. The base should be at least 2
inches higher than the surrounding grade and 2 inches larger than the dimensions of the condensing
unit base. For snowy areas, a base of sufficient height to clear snow accumulation must be installed.

Refer Electrical Connections on page 36 for general wiring requirements and cautions. Refer to electrical
schematic when making connections.
Power Connections
The outdoor condensing unit requires its own power source and earth ground, with a disconnect switch
(field supplied) to isolate the unit for maintenance.

Control Connections
Field-supplied control wires must be connected between the evaporator and the condensing unit. (See
Figure 7.7 on page 38 and the electrical schematic on the units for more details.) Four wires are required
between the evaporator and condensing unit.
7.7 Indoor Water- and Glycol-Cooled Condensing Unit Installation
WARNING! Follow all national and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.

The condensing unit may be located above the dropped ceiling or any remote indoor area. If noise is of
concern, the condensing unit should be located away from personnel. Normal operating sound may be
objectionable if the condensing unit is placed near quiet work areas.
To mount the unit in the ceiling, refer to Installing the Ceiling Units on page 28.

Refer to Electrical Connections on page 36 for general wiring requirements and cautions. Refer to
electrical schematic when making connections. Refer to serial tag for full load amp and wire size amp
ratings.
Control Connections
A 4-wire control connection is required from the evaporator unit to the condensing unit. Glycol cooled
units also require a two-wire control connection to the drycooler and pump package.

Water/Glycol Piping Considerations

Manual service shut-off valves must be installed at the supply and return line to each unit. This enables
routine service and/or emergency isolation of the unit. When the condensing unit fluid quality is poor,
filters that can be easily serviced should be placed in the supply line. These filters extend the service life
of the condensing unit.
Condensing Unit Fluid Requirements

The maximum fluid pressure is 150 PSI standard pressure and 350 PSI for high pressure units (Refer to
unit serial tag and model number description page at beginning of this manual).
Automotive antifreeze must not be used in glycol systems. Prepare glycol solution using customary
practices.

Regulating Valve
Water/Glycol cooled units include a coolant flow regulating valve that is factory-adjusted and should not
need field adjustment.
Standard pressure and high pressure valves are adjusted differently. Contact Vertiv™’s Precision Cooling
Support before making any adjustments.

Figure 7.14 Indoor water/glycol condensing unit dimensional data

Figure 7.15 Indoor water/glycol condensing unit electrical field connections

Figure 7.16 System piping with indoor water/glycol cooled condensing unit

7.8 Optional Equipment Piping
7.8.1 Free-Cooling Coil

The free-cooling coil is a secondary coil located downstream of the DX coil. The free-coiling coil does not
operate at the same time as the DX coil. A temperature sensor is factory-mounted to the free-cooling
piping. If the water temperature is less than the set temperature (usually 45°F [7.2°C]), the 3-way valve
opens to allow chilled water flow to the free-cooling coil and the compressor is locked off. If the water
temperature is above the set temperature, the 3-way valve closes (bypasses) and enables the compressor.
To keep deposits from building up in the free-cooling coil, an adjustable timer is factory-set to flush every
400 minutes.
NOTE: If the free-cooling coil is piped to an open water tower, a CU/NI (copper-nickel) type coil must
be ordered to prevent corrosion of the copper tubes; or a heat exchanger must separate the tower
water from the free-cooling loop.
On water-cooled systems, the free-cooling coil outlet can be field piped to the condensing unit inlet,
provided a 3-way regulating valve has been installed within the water/glycol condensing unit (see Figure
7.17 below).
Figure 7.17 Optional free-cooling coil (3-way valve) on water/glycol units
7.8.2 Hot Water Reheat Coil

Building hot water can be piped to a factory-installed hot water reheat coil, located downstream of the
cooling coil. A factory-installed solenoid valve opens upon a call for reheat.

Figure 7.18 Optional hot water reheat (two-way valve)

8.9 Setup Operation

Selecting Setpoint/Setup from the Main Menu will display the following selections:
• RESTART TIME DELAY

• C/F DEGREES
• HUMIDITY CONTROL METHOD
• SHOW DIPSWITCH
• CW FLUSH
• VALVE TIME
Use the Up and Down arrows to scroll through the submenu. Press Enter to select a particular function.

8.9.1 Restart Time Delay
This function delays unit restart after main power is restored to the unit. If several systems are operating,
the time delays should be set to different values to cause a sequential start. Delay can be set from 0.1
minutes to 9.9 minutes (6 seconds to 594 seconds). Setting the value to zero (0) will prevent the unit from
restarting when power is restored. In this case, the unit must be restarted manually by pressing the
“ON/OFF” button on the keypad.
8.9.2 C/F Degrees

The control may be selected to show readings and setpoints in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius
(°C). To change the value use Enter to select this function, then use the Up and Down arrows to change
the value. Press Enter to store the value.
8.9.3 Humidity Control Method

The operator may select either relative (direct) or absolute (predictive) humidity control. If “relative” is
selected, the RH control is taken directly from the RH sensor. If “absolute” is selected, the RH control is
automatically adjusted whenever return air temperature deviates from the desired temperature setpoint
(i.e., predictive humidity control). The LCD display will indicate percentage relative humidity for both
methods of control. If the “absolute” feature is selected, the adjusted humidity reading will also be shown.
When utilizing the predictive humidity control feature, the humidity level is automatically adjusted ~2%
RH for each degree difference between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint.
Unnecessary dehumidification can result when overcooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle. This
is due to a higher than normal RH reading caused by overcooling the room (about 2% RH for each degree
of overcooling). This drop in temperature extends the dehumidification cycle. Later, when the
dehumidification ends and the temperature rises to the setpoint, the RH reading falls. The final RH
reading will then be lower than actually desired. If the temperature drop was significant enough, the
percentage RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier.
If the absolute humidity control is selected, over-dehumidification may be avoided. When overcooling
occurs (i.e., causing an increase in the RH reading) the humidity control program estimates what the RH
will be when the dehumidification cycle ends and temperature returns to the setpoint. This allows the
dehumidification cycle to end at the proper time. Predictive humidity control can greatly reduce energy
consumption by minimizing both compressor/reheat operation. Use the UP or DOWN arrow key to select
the desired humidity control method.
8.9.4 Show DIP Switch

This function shows the position of the DIP switches, which are located on the control board in the unit; 1 =
Switch is “ON” and 0 = Switch is “OFF.” For more information on the DIP switches and their functions, see
Table 8.5 on page 63.
8.9.5 Valve Time (for Systems With a Modulating Chilled Water Valve)
This function shows the full valve travel time of the modulating valve on a chilled water system. This is the
time it takes for the valve to travel from full closed to full open. It is programmable from 50 to 250 seconds;
factory default time is 165 seconds and should not be changed. The full valve travel time is used by the
control to determine the appropriate valve position. For example, if the valve travel time is 165 seconds
and 50% cooling is being called for, the valve will open for 83 seconds to achieve 50% open.

8.9.6 CW Flush (for Systems with a Modulating Chilled Water Valve)
This function shows the interval time at which the system will perform a modulating chilled water valve
system flush cycle. The factory default is 24 (hours) and is programmable from 0 (hours) which signifies to
never flush, to 99 (hours) which signifies to flush after every 99 hours of valve non-use. If the valve is
called on by the control to open within the programmed interval time, the timer will be reset to 0. The flush
cycle is active even when the fan is turned off, but power is applied to the unit. When the interval timer
reaches the programmed time, the valve will be opened for 3 minutes to flush any contaminants that may
have collected in the system.
Table 8.3 Setup functions, default values and

allowable ranges
Function Default Range
Restart Time Delay 0.1 0 to 9.9 min (0 = manual restart)
C/F Degrees °F °C or °F
Humidity Control Rel Relative or Absolute
Valve Time 165 50 to 250 seconds
CW Flush 24 0 to 99 hours
8.10 Change Passwords

The display will prompt the operator to enter a three digit password when attempting to make changes.
The system includes two (2) passwords, one for setpoints and one for setup. The system allows the
password to be changed by first entering the default password set at the factory (1-2-3) for setpoints and
(3-2-1) for setup. The password function provides system security so that only authorized personnel are
allowed to make changes to the system. (If unauthorized changes are being made, the passwords may be
compromised and new ones should be selected). The password function can be disabled by setting DIP
switch 8 in the wall box to OFF, then resetting power to the unit.
8.11 Calibrate Sensors

The temperature and humidity sensors can be calibrated by selecting the CALIBRATE SENSORS menu
item. The temperature sensor can be calibrated ±5°F, while the humidity sensor can be calibrated ±10%
RH. When calibrating the humidity sensor, the value shown will always be % RH, even though absolute
humidity control may be selected. If absolute humidity control is selected, the Normal Status Display will
display the adjusted reading. This reading may not agree with the relative humidity reading displayed
while in calibration.
If the sensors are subject to frequent wide temperature and humidity swings, it may be necessary to
shorten the cycling by increasing the sensor time delay. If the sensors are located too close to the air
discharge, they will likely experience rapid swings in measurement. Another method in reducing
compressor cycling is to increase the temperature and/or humidity sensitivity.

8.12 Alarm Enable
Each alarm can be disabled or enabled. Use the Up and Down arrows to select a particular alarm, press
Enter to select either Enable or Disable. Press Enter again to store the change. When the alarm is disabled
it will NOT report to either the wall box beeper or to the common alarm relay.
NOTE: The high-water alarm will automatically shut the unit Off, even if the alarm is disabled. Similarly,
optional factory-installed smoke sensor is wired to shut off the evaporator unit, regardless of the
enable/disable status.
8.13 Alarm Time Delay

Each individual alarm can be programmed with a time delay, causing the unit to delay a specified amount
of time (0-255 seconds) before recognizing the alarm. See Table 8.4 below for the default times. The
alarm condition must be present for the full amount of the time before the alarm will sound. If the alarm
condition is diverted prematurely, the alarm will not be recognized and the time delay will automatically
reset.
NOTE: For software alarms such as “loss of power” and “short cycle,” the time delay should be left at
the factory default of 0.
Table 8.4 Alarm default time delays

Alarm Default Time Delay (seconds)
Custom Alarm #1 0
Custom Alarm #2 6
High Temperature 30
Low Temperature 30
High Humidity 30
Low Humidity 30
Short Cycle 0
Loss of Power 0
8.14 Common Alarm Enable

Each individual alarm can be selected to activate or deactivate the common alarm relay. If the energize
common alarm function is set to Yes, the relay is energized immediately as the alarm is annunciated and
de-energized when the alarm condition has been recognized. If the alarm is completely Disabled, the alarm
has no effect on the common alarm relay. Use the Up and Down arrows to scroll to a particular alarm, press
the Enter button to select it, then press the Enter button again to select Yes or No.

8.15 Custom Alarms
The custom alarm messages can be selected from a list of standard alarm messages or the operator can
write his/her own message. A MAXIMUM OF TWO (2) ALARM MESSAGES CAN BE CUSTOMIZED. The two
custom alarm messages will initially display the previously programmed message but can be changed.
The text for custom alarms can be changed at any time by selecting Custom Alarm. To change the text
for a custom alarm, select the alarm you would like to change, 1 or 2. Using the Up and Down arrows, step
through the list of five standard alarm messages (listed below) and two custom alarms. Select the alarm
message desired and store it by pressing Enter.
8.15.1 Standard Custom Alarm Messages

• WATER FLOW LOSS
• SMOKE DETECTED
• LOSS OF AIR FLOW
• HUMIDIFIER PROBLEM
• FILTER CLOG
8.16 Custom Text

To modify the two custom alarm messages select “CUSTOM TXT”. Then select “CUS TXT #1” or “CUS TXT
#2”. Text can be up to 20 characters in length and can be either a blank space or any of the following
alphanumeric characters and symbols:
• A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
• #,%,*,-
• 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9
Use the Up and Down arrows to select a character, then press Enter. The cursor will move to the next
space where you may once use the Up and Down arrows to select another character, etc.
LCD Display Contrast

The level of contrast due to the viewing angle of the LCD display can be adjusted using a potentiometer
screw, inside the wall box next to the display.
Nonvolatile Memory
All critical information is stored in nonvolatile memory. Setpoints and setup parameters are kept inside the
microcontroller in EEPROM.
Equipment Options Switches

Equipment options are selected and enabled using DIP switches 1 through 7. These are located on the
control board near TB1. These switches are factory-set and should not require any user changes. The
setting and function of the switches can be individually read on the LCD display.
NOTE: In order to update the dip switch settings, power must be cycled off, then on, from the unit
disconnect switch.

9 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLS
This section describes in detail how the Mini-Mate2 responds to operator inputs and room conditions.
9.1 Temperature Control
9.1.1 Cooling/Heating Required

The temperature control program for the microprocessor is based on a calculated percentage
requirement for cooling/heating.
9.1.2 Cooling Operation (Compressorized Direct Expansion and Chilled Water)

Cooling is ACTIVATED when the temperature control calculates a requirement for cooling of 100%. It is
DEACTIVATED when the cooling requirement drops below 50%. Hot gas bypass is energized on DX units
when a call for cooling occurs unless there is also a call for dehumidification.
Table 9.1 Cooling and

dehumidification load response of
hot gas bypass
Situation Hot Gas Bypass
Cooling only ON
Dehumidification only OFF
Cooling with Dehumidification OFF
9.1.3 Heating Operation
Electric Heat or Hot Water

The reheat stage is ACTIVATED when the temperature control calculates a requirement of 100%.
Conversely, the reheat is DEACTIVATED when the heat requirement is 50% less than the activation point.
SCR Electric Reheat

The SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) controller proportionally controls the stainless steel reheat feature
to maintain the selected room temperature. The rapid cycling made possible by the SCR controller
provides precise temperature control, while the constant element temperature improves heater life.
During operation of the SCR control, THE COMPRESSOR OPERATES CONTINUOUSLY. The heaters are
modulated to provide temperature control. The display status will show when the unit is cooling and
heating. The control will automatically lock the compressor cooling to “ON” position, except when the
temperature falls below the low temperature alarm set point. Cooling will then be disabled until the room
temperature reaches the temperature set point.

9.2 Humidity Control
9.2.1 Dehumidification/Humidification Required

The humidity control is based on a calculated percentage requirement for dehumidification or
humidification (i.e., the difference between the return air humidity and the humidity set point). As the
return air humidity rises above the humidity set point, the percent dehumidification required increases
proportionally from 0 to 100% over a humidity band equal to the humidity sensitivity setting. The
converse is true for percent humidification requirement.
9.2.2 Dehumidification Operation, Compressorized Direct Expansion (DX) Systems

Dehumidification with the standard configuration is accomplished by operating the compressor without
the hot gas bypass active. Dehumidification will be disabled if the heating requirement exceeds 125%. It is
re-enabled when the heating requirement reaches 50%.
9.2.3 Humidification Operation

The canister humidifier is activated when the humidity control calculates a requirement of 100%
humidification; and is deactivated when the humidification requirement falls below 50%.
9.3 Load Control Features

The control system monitors the compressor and prevents it from turning on within a 3 minute period of
being off. If this on-off-on cycle occurs too often (e.g., 10 times in one hour) a Short Cycle Alarm will occur.
9.3.1 Communications
The control system uses a two-wire, RS-422 channel to communicate with Liebert Site Products via a
proprietary protocol. A converter board (ECA2) is available to allow communications with a “dumb”
terminal or a computer using RS-232 channel. More details are provided in the Site Products and ECA2
User Manual.
The communications channel provides both monitoring and control options, including:
• TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY: Current temperature and humidity readings.

• STATUS (%), Cooling/heating and humidify/dehumidify operating status.
• PRESENT ALARMS: Alarms currently activated.
• SET POINTS:
• Temperature Set point
• Temperature Sensitivity
• Humidity Set point
• Humidity Sensitivity
• High Temperature Alarm
• Low Temperature Alarm
• High Humidity Alarm
• Low Humidity Alarm
• ON/OFF STATUS and CONTROL
• SILENCE ALARM

10 ALARMS
The microprocessor control system will audibly and visually signal all ENABLED Alarms (including two (2)
custom alarms). These special alarms can be chosen from the optional alarm list and/or can have their
own fully custom text. The custom alarm inputs are contact closures wired from terminal TB1-1 through a
normally open contact to either TB1-2 (alarm 1) or TB1-3 (alarm 2). The alarms can be enabled or disabled
(refer to Microprocessor Control on page 55) and a time delay of 0-255 seconds can be set. The alarms
can also be programmed to either sound the alarm & activate the common alarm relay OR to sound the
alarm only.
When a new alarm occurs, it is displayed on the screen and the audible alarm is activated. (If
communicating with a Liebert Site Product, the alarm is also transmitted.) The message “PRESS ALARM
SILENCE” will prompt the operator to silence the alarm. After the alarm is silenced, the display will return
to the Normal Status Display. Alarms can be reviewed by selecting the “ACTIVE ALARMS” feature. The
alarms can also be silenced through communications with a Liebert Site Product unit.
Many alarms will reset automatically when the alarm condition is no longer represented and only after it
has been acknowledged by being “Silenced.” The exceptions are:
1. software alarms, i.e., Loss of Power and Short Cycle alarms will reset automatically 30 seconds
after being silenced or acknowledged
2. specific alarms monitoring overload or high pressure switches may require a manual reset
depending upon the model
10.1 Alarms: Definitions and Troubleshooting

The following list provides a definition and troubleshooting suggestions for each type of alarm. Refer to
Troubleshooting on page 87 for additional details. If you need further assistance, contact your Liebert
supplier. THE CUSTOMER MUST SPECIFY ALARM(S) AT THE TIME OF ORDER. OTHER DEVICES AND
WIRING MAY BE REQUIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR SOME OF THE ALARMS.
10.1.1 Custom Alarms

Custom alarm(s) messages are programmed at the LCD display. The message displayed may be included
in a list of provided alarms or it may be customized text (for up to 2 alarms). IF CUSTOMIZED TEXT IS
USED, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE INFORMED OF THE ALARM FUNCTION AND THE
REQUIRED ACTION.

10.1.2 High Head Pressure
Compressor head pressure is monitored with a pressure-sensor switch. (One SPDT pressure switch is
used) for the compressor in the unit.
If head pressure exceeds 400 psig (2785 kPa), the switch opens the compressor contactor and sends an
input signal to the control. The high head pressure condition is acknowledged by pressing the Alarm
Silence button on the wall box, which will clear the alarm if the high head pressure condition no longer
exists. If the compressor is Off for 1 hour, the control goes into a special cold start mode. In the cold start
mode on a call for cooling or dehumidification, the liquid line solenoid valve (LLSV) is energized. If the high
pressure switch does NOT trip within 10 seconds, the control returns to normal operation of monitoring
the high head pressure switch for three occurrences in a 12 hour period. It is a rolling timer, and after the
third high head alarm occurs and is acknowledged by the user, it will lock Off the compressor.
If while in the cold start mode, the high head pressure switch DOES trip within 10 seconds of the activation
of the LLSV, the control does not annunciate the alarm. The control will turn Off the LLSV and delay 10
seconds. The control will permit this occurrence two more times or a total of three times. If on the fourth
try, the high head pressure switch trips within 10 seconds, the control will annunciate the alarm, turn Off
the LLSV, wait for the user to acknowledge the alarm and hold the compressor Off for 3 minutes, the
length of the normal short cycle control. The control will permit this occurrence three times. On the third
occurrence, the control will lock the compressor Off until the control power is reset.
Air-Cooled Systems
Check for power shut Off to the condensing unit, condenser fans not working, defective head pressure
control valves, closed service valves, dirty condenser coils and crimped lines. Also, make sure that when
the compressor contactor is energized, the side switch on the contactor closes to energize the control
circuit on the condensing unit.
Water/Glycol/ Systems
Check water regulating valves. Verify water/glycol flow (i.e., pumps operating and service valves open). Is
water tower or drycooler operating? Is the coolant temperature entering the condenser at or below design
conditions? Is AUX relay (terminals 70 & 71) operating during cooling to turn on the drycooler?
10.1.3 Humidity Level

The humidity level alarm may be activated under the following conditions:
• High: The room return air humidity exceeds the pre-set high humidity alarm set point. Is the
unit set up for dehumidification? Check DIP switch.
• Low: The room return air humidity decreases to the low humidity alarm set point. Is the unit
setup for humidification? Check DIP switch.
• High and Low Humidity (simultaneously): The simultaneous display of two alarms results in
loss of the humidity input signal. DASHES WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE HUMIDITY READING
DISPLAY. Under these conditions, the control system deactivates both humidification and
dehumidification. Check for a disconnected cable or failed sensor.
NOTE: Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoor
humidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air?

10.1.4 Temperature
The temperature level alarm may be activated under the following conditions:
• High: The room return air temperature increases to the high temperature alarm set point.
Check for proper set point value. Is the room load more than the unit can handle (i.e., capacity
too small)? Make sure cooling components are operating (compressor or valves).
• Low: The room return air temperature decreases to the low temperature alarm set point. Check
for proper set point value. Make sure all heating components are operating (e.g., contactors,
reheats, etc.). Are reheats drawing the proper current (refer to amp rating on nameplate).
• High and Low (simultaneously): The simultaneous display of these two alarms results in loss of
the temperature input signal (or the humidity is out of sensor range-15 to 85% RH). Dashes will
be displayed for the temperature reading. The control system will initiate 100% cooling. Check
for a disconnected cable or a failed sensor.
10.1.5 Humidifier Problem Alarm

The Humidifier Problem Alarm will sound and display a message if any of the following humidifier
conditions occur: overcurrent detection; fill system fault or end of cylinder life.
Check fault indicator LED on humidifier control board:
• Constant LED on = Overcurrent

• 1 second LED Flash = Fill System
• 1/2 second LED Flash = Replace Tank
10.1.6 High Water Alarm

A float switch in the evaporator pan will shutdown the evaporator on a high water level. Clear the drain
and reset power to the unit in order to clear the alarm.
10.1.7 Loss of Power

The Loss of Power Alarm will activate (after power is restored to the unit) if the unit has lost power or the
disconnect switch was incorrectly turned off before the unit ON/OFF switch was pressed. A Liebert
remote monitoring unit (optional) will immediately indicate loss of power.
10.1.8 Short Cycle

A Short Cycle Alarm will occur if the compressor system has exceeded 10 cooling start attempts in a one-
hour period. This can be caused by low refrigerant level or room cooling load is small compared to
capacity of the unit. Check for leaks, crimped lines and defective components. If room load is low, increase
temperature sensitivity to reduce cycle.
10.2 Optional/Custom Alarms
10.2.1 Change Filter

Periodically, the return air filters in the evaporator must be changed. The Change Filter alarm notifies the
user that filter replacement is necessary. A differential air pressure switch closes when the pressure drop
across the filters becomes excessive. The switch is adjustable using the procedure on the switch label.

10.2.2 High Temperature Sensor
The optional high temperature sensor is a bi-metal operated sensing device with a closed switch under
normal conditions. Connected between pins 1-8 and 1-9, this device will shut down the entire unit.
10.2.3 Smoke Sensor

The optional smoke sensor constantly samples return air through a tube. Its power supply is located in the
electric panel. The smoke sensor shuts down the unit upon detecting smoke, and activates visual and
audible alarms. This smoke sensor is not intended to function as or replace any room smoke detection
system that may be required by local or national codes. Locate the source of the smoke and follow
appropriate emergency procedures.

11 SYSTEM OPERATION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
This section describes system testing, maintenance and replacement procedures. Use copies of the
Maintenance Inspection Checklist to record preventive maintenance inspections.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Open all local and remote electric
power disconnect switches before working within the electrical enclosures. The Liebert
microprocessor control does not isolate power from the unit in the Unit Off mode. Some
internal components require and receive power even during the Unit Off mode. The line side of
the disconnect switch on the front of the unit 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
and check the internal power supply wires with a voltmeter.
11.1 System Testing
11.1.1 Environmental Control Functions

The performance of all control circuits can be tested by changing the set points, which activates each of
the main functions.
11.1.2 Cooling
To test the cooling function, set the set point to a temperature of 10°F (5°C) below room temperature. A
call for cooling should register and prompt the equipment to begin cooling cycle. (Disregard any
temperature alarms). Upon completion of testing, return set point to the desired temperature.
11.1.3 Heating
Reheat may be tested by setting the set point 10°F (5°C) above room temperature. A call for heating
should register and prompt the equipment to begin heating cycle. (Disregard any temperature alarms).
Upon completion of testing, return set point to the desired temperature.
11.1.4 Humidification
To check humidification, set the humidity set point at R.H. 10% above the room humidity reading. After a
short delay, the canister will fill with water and steam will be produced. Upon completion of testing, return
the humidity set point to the desired humidity.
11.1.5 Dehumidification
The dehumidification performance can be tested by setting the humidity set point at R.H. 10% below room
relative humidity. The compressor should turn on. Upon completion of testing, return humidity set point
to the desired humidity.
11.1.6 Remote Shutdown

A connection point is provided for remote shutdown devices supplied by the customer. This terminal strip
is located on the printed circuit board. (Terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5 are fitted with a jumper when no
remote shutdown device is installed).

11.2 Maintenance and Component Operation
11.2.1 Electric Panel

The electric panel should be inspected on a semi-annual basis for any loose electrical connections.
11.2.2 Filters
Filters are usually the most neglected item in an environmental control system. In order to maintain
efficient operation, they should be checked monthly and changed as required. ALWAYS TURN POWER
OFF BEFORE REPLACING FILTERS.
Filters are replaced by opening the hinged door on the return air filter box.
11.2.3 Blower System

Monthly inspection of the blower package include: motor mounts, belts, fan bearings and impellers.
Fan impellers should be thoroughly inspected and any debris removed. Check to see if they are tightly
mounted on the fan shaft and do not rub against the fan housing during rotation. Motor bearings are
permanently sealed and self-lubricating and do NOT need lubricated.
The drive belt should be checked monthly for signs of wear and proper tension. Pressing on belts midway
between the sheave and pulley should produce from 1/2” to 1” (12 to 25 mm) of deflection. Belts that are
too tight can cause excessive bearing wear.
Belt tension can be adjusted by raising or lowering the fan motor base. Loosen nut above motor mounting
plate to remove belt. Turn nut below motor mounting plate to adjust belt tension. If belt appears cracked
or worn, it should be replaced with a matched belt (identically sized). With proper care, a belt should last
several years.
NOTE: After adjusting or changing the belt, always be certain that motor base nuts are tightened. The
bottom adjustment nut should be finger tight. The top locking nut should be tightened with a wrench.
Air Distribution
Since all unit models are designed for constant volume air delivery, any unusual restrictions within the air
circuit must be avoided. High efficiency filters can reduce air performance and evaporator capacity.
11.2.4 Blower Removal

If the blower or bearings must be removed or serviced, use the following procedure.
NOTICE
Risk of refrigerant and water/glycol piping damage. Can cause leaks that result in equipment
and building damage and loss of cooling.
Use caution and do not contact piping when removing the blower motor and blower sled.
1. Remove the main center section of the three-piece electric panel by first marking and
disconnecting all power and control wiring entering the panel.
2. Remove the panel by removing screws from top and bottom sections
3. Remove the blower motor from the blower sled.
4. Remove the four bolts holding the blower sled to the base isolators.
5. Slide the blower/sled assembly forward and rotate 90°.

6. Slide the blower/sled assembly from unit after ensuring that the refrigerant and water piping
are protected from damage.
7. Reinstall by reversing this procedure.
11.2.5 Refrigeration System

Each month the components of the refrigeration system should be inspected for proper function and
signs of wear. Since in most cases evidence of malfunction is present prior to component failure, periodic
inspections can be a major factor in the prevention of most system failures. Refrigerant lines must be
properly supported and not allowed to vibrate against ceilings, floors or the unit frame. Inspect all
refrigerant lines every six months for signs of wear and proper support. Inspect the capillary and equalizer
lines from the expansion valve.
Suction Pressure
Suction pressure will vary with load conditions. Suction pressure normally ranges from 58 psi to 75 psi
(405 kPa to 517 kPa).
Discharge Pressure
The discharge pressure will vary greatly with load and ambient conditions (Table 11.1 below). The high-
pressure switch will shut the compressor down at its cut-out setting.
Table 11.1 Typical discharge pressure

System Design Discharge Pressure, psig (kPa)
Air-Cooled 200-300 (1380-2070)
Water-Cooled 65 to 85°F water

200-250 (1380-1725)
(18 to 29.4°C)
Glycol-Cooled 250-350 (1725-2415)
High-Pressure Cut-Out 400 (2760)
Thermostatic Expansion Valve

The thermostatic expansion valve keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy load
conditions. Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat level. If too little refrigerant
is being fed to the evaporator, then the superheat will be high. Conversely, if too much refrigerant is being
supplied, then the superheat will be low. The correct superheat setting is between 10 and 15°F (5.6 and
8.3°C).
Air-Cooled Condensing Units

Restricted airflow through the condenser coil will reduce the operating efficiency of the unit. Additionally,
it can result in high compressor head pressure and loss of cooling. Using compressed air or commercial
coil cleaner, clean the condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. In winter, do not permit snow to
accumulate around the side or underneath the condenser. At the same time check for bent or damaged
coil fins and repair as necessary. Check all refrigerant lines and capillaries for vibration and support as
necessary. Carefully inspect all refrigerant lines for signs of oil leaks.

Coaxial Condensers (Water/Glycol-Cooled Condensing Units)
Each water- or glycol-cooled condensing unit has a coaxial condenser consisting of an exterior steel tube
and an interior copper tube. If the water supply is clean, coaxial condensers do not normally require
maintenance or replacement. Should your system begin to operate at high head pressure with reduced
capacity and all other causes have been eliminated, the condenser may be obstructed or fouled and
should be replaced.
Regulating Valves (Water/Glycol Condensing Units)

The water regulating valve automatically regulate the amount of fluid necessary to remove the heat from
the refrigeration system, permitting more fluid to flow when load conditions are high and less fluid to flow
when load conditions are low.
The water regulating valve is designed to begin opening at 180 psi (1240 kPa) and to be fully opened at
240 psi (1655 kPa). The valve is factory-set and should not need adjustment.
Glycol Solution Maintenance

It is difficult to establish a specific schedule of inhibitor maintenance since the rate of inhibitor depletion
depends upon local water conditions. Analysis of water samples at time of installation and every six (6)
months should help to establish a pattern of depletion. A visual inspection of the solution and filter
residue is often helpful in judging whether or not active corrosion is occurring. The complexity of
problems caused by water requires expert advice from a water treatment specialist plus a regular
maintenance program schedule. It is important to note that improper use of water treatment chemicals
can cause severe problems.
Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the glycol system.
Consult your glycol manufacturer for proper testing and maintenance procedures. Do not mix products
from different manufacturers.
Hot Gas Bypass

Operation
The hot gas bypass valve is installed between the compressor discharge piping and suction piping,
bypassing the condenser and evaporator coils. The discharge gas mixes with the suction gas, raising the
suction temperature and pressure and decreasing the mass flow through the evaporator. The higher
suction temperatures could cause compressor overheating, therefore a separate liquid quenching valve is
provided to mix refrigerant from the system liquid line with the discharge gas before mixing with the
suction gas entering the compressor.
During normal operation, when the evaporator is under full load the hot gas bypass equalizer pressure will
remain high enough to keep the valve port closed. If the evaporator load decreases, the evaporator
temperature and pressure will drop. When the suction pressure reduces below the hot gas bypass valve
setting the hot gas bypass valve opens diverting some of the refrigerant flow back to the compressor
suction. The liquid quenching valve bulb senses this increased superheat and opens, allowing liquid
refrigerant to mix with the discharge gas, desuperheating it.
Proper mixing of the three refrigerant paths ensures stable operation and system performance. The liquid
quenching valve bulb must be located downsteam of all these connections to control superheat at the
compressor inlet. Superheat settings for the liquid quenching valve are chosen to maintain consistency
with the system expansion valve. During hot gas bypass operation higher superheats, 50-60°F (19 to
15°C), may be observed at the compressor. The liquid quenching valve is internally equalized and
superheat is not adjustable.

Adjustment
1. Install the suction and discharge pressure gauge.
2. Adjust temperature setpoint to call for cooling so that the refrigeration compressor will run
continuously.
3. Remove the TOP adjusting nut from the valve.
4. Insert an Allen wrench in the brass hole at top of valve in adjusting port and turn CLOCKWISE
if a higher evaporator temperature is required. Adjust no more than 1/4 turn at a time. Let the
system stabilize for 15 minutes before determining if additional adjustment is necessary.
5. After obtaining the suction pressure required, reinstall cap tightly making sure there are no
leaks.
6. Let the evaporator operate for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to make sure the suction
pressure is within the range desired.
7. There may be a fluctuation of approximately 3 to 6 PSIG (21 to 41 kPa) on the evaporator due to
the differential on the hot gas bypass.
8. Return temperature setpoint to the desired setting.

11.3 Replacement Procedures
11.3.1 Compressor Replacement

Infrequently a fault in the motor insulation may result in a motor burnout (if system is properly installed,
motor burnout rarely occurs). Primarily this type of failure is due to mechanical or lubrication problems,
where the burnout is a secondary consequence.
Early detection can prevent a large percentage of the problems that can cause compressor failures.
Periodic maintenance inspections by alert service personnel (i.e., identification of abnormal operation) can
be a major factor in reducing maintenance costs. It is easier and more cost-effective to implement the
necessary preventative steps that ensure proper system operation; rather than ignore a problem until it
results in compressor failure and costly replacement. When troubleshooting a compressor problem, check
all electrical components for proper operation:
WARNING! Risk of explosive discharge from high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause injury or
death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure. Relieve pressure before
working with piping.
CAUTION: Risk of contacting caustic substances. Can cause injury. Do not touch or contact
the gas or oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Wear protective clothing, safety
goggles and long rubber gloves when handling contaminated parts.
• Check all fuses and circuit breakers.

• Check pressure switch operation.
• If a compressor failure has occurred, determine whether its cause is an electrical or mechanical
problem.
Mechanical Failure
If you have determined that a mechanical failure has occurred, the compressor must be replaced. If a
burnout occurs, correct the problem and clean the system. It is important to note that successive
burnouts OF THE SAME SYSTEM are usually caused by improper cleaning. If a severe burnout has
occurred, the oil will be black and acidic.
11.3.2 Electrical Failure

In the event of an electrical failure and subsequent burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, proper
procedures must be followed to thoroughly remove any acids that would cause a future failure. There are
two kits that can be used with a complete compressor burnout - Sporlan System Cleaner and Alco Dri-
Kleener. Follow the manufacturer's procedure. DAMAGE TO A REPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR DUE TO
IMPROPER SYSTEM CLEANING CONSTITUTES ABUSE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY,
THEREBY VOIDING THE WARRANTY
Replacement compressors are available from your Vertiv™ supplier and will be shipped to the job site in a
reusable crate (as required by the service contractor). If the compressor is under warranty, it must be
returned to Vertiv™, in order to receive proper warranty credit. It should be returned in the same
container it was shipped in. The possible cause(s) or condition(s) of the damage should be recorded on
the provided return tag.

Replace a Failed Compressor
Proper procedures to remove and replace the failed compressor are:
1. Disconnect power
2. Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.
3. Recover refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment. Use a filter-drier
when charging the system with recovered refrigerant.
NOTE: Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and unlawful.
Refrigerant must be recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
4. Remove failed compressor.

5. Install replacement compressor and make all connections. Use a flow of dry nitrogen through
the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper oxide scale inside the piping. Copper
oxide forms when copper is heated in the presence of air. POE oil 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 metering device.Pressurize and leak test the
system at approximately 150 psig (1034kPa) pressure.
6. Follow manufacturer's instructions for clean out kits.

7. Evacuate the system twice to 500 microns. Break the vacuum each time with clean, dry
nitrogen.
8. Evacuate the system a third time to 500 microns.
9. Charge the system with refrigerant (R-407C) based on requirements of the evaporator,
condensing unit and lines. Refer to the unit nameplate.
10. Apply power and operate the system. Check for proper operation. Refer to Table 11.1 on
page 77.
11.3.3 Steam Generating Humidifier-Operation Procedures

Steam generating humidifiers operate efficiently over a wide range of water quality conditions and
automatically adjust to changes in the conductivity of water. The system will automatically drain and refill
to maintain a current set point and alert the operator when the humidifier canister needs to be replaced.
The humidifier RUN/DRAIN switch is located in the humidifier assembly. This switch should be in the RUN
position when the humidifier is in normal operation and in the DRAIN position during service. The
electronic control board for the humidifier is also located in the humidifier assembly. When the unit is
energized, power is available to humidifier. Operation involves the following steps:
1. During start-up, when the humidity control calls for humidification, the fill valve will open,
allowing water to enter the canister. When the water level reaches the electrodes, current flows
and the water will begin to warm. The canister fills until the amperage reaches the set point
and the fill valve closes. As the water warms, its conductivity increases and the current flow, in
turn, rises. If the amperage reaches 115% of the normal operating amperage, the drain valve
opens and flushes some of the water out of the canister. This reduces electrode contact with
the water and lowers the current flow to the amperage set point. Boiling soon commences and
the canister operates normally.

2. If the conductivity of the water is low, the canister fills and the water level reaches the canister
full electrode before the amperage set point is reached. The humidifier stops filling to prevent
overflow. Boiling should commence in time. As water is boiled off, the mineral concentration in
the canister increases and current flow also increases. The canister eventually reaches full
output and goes to normal operation. No drain is permitted until then.
3. When full output is reached the circuit board starts a time cycle which is factory-set at 60
seconds. During this repeating time cycle, the fill valve will open periodically to replenish the
water being boiled off and maintain a “steady state” output at the set point. The amperage
variance will depend on the conductivity of the water.
4. After a period of time, the mineral concentration in the canister becomes too high. When this
occurs, the water boils too quickly. As the water quickly boils off and less of the electrode is
exposed, the current flow decreases. When the current crosses the low threshold point
(factory-set at 85%) before the end of the time cycle, the drain valve opens, draining the
mineral laden water out and replacing it with fresh water. This lowers the mineral concentration
and returns the canister to “steady state” operation and prolongs canister life. The frequency
of drains depends on water conductivity.
5. Over a period of time, the electrode surface will become coated with a layer of insulating
material, which causes a drop in current flow. As this happens, the water level in the canister
will slowly rise exposing new electrode surface to the water to maintain normal output.
Eventually, the steady state water level will reach the canister full electrode and indicate so by
activating the canister full alarm. At this point, all of electrode surface has been used up and
the canister should be replaced.
6. After the entire electrode surface has been coated, the output will slowly decrease. This allows
for maintenance scheduling. During these last hours of electrode life, the mineral
concentration can increase and arcing can occur. If the electrodes start to arc, turn off the
humidifier immediately and replace the canister with the identical part.
Replacing the Humidifier Canister
CAUTION: Risk of contact with extremely hot surfaces. Can cause injury. Canister and steam
hose may be hot. Do not attempt to replace parts until the humidifier has cooled down to a
temperature that is safe for human contact. Use extreme caution and wear thermally insulated
gloves and arm protection when replacing the humidifier canister.
The proper procedure to replace the humidifier canister is:
1. Turn off the humidifier by lowering the humidity setpoint below the ambient humidity level.
Record the original setpoint.
2. Place the RUN/DRAIN switch in the DRAIN position to drain the water from the canister.
3. Return the RUN/DRAIN switch to the RUN position after the canister has drained.
4. Turn OFF the power at the main unit.
5. Remove the cover from the humidifier cabinet.
6. Locate the power wires to the steam canister. They are connected to the canister with 1/4"
quick connects. Make note of the wiring configuration before removing any wires. Refer to
schematic on unit. Slide the rubber boot back to expose the connections. Remove the two (2)
power wires and the canister-full wire. Do not loosen the screws that secure the electrodes.

7. Loosen the steam outlet hose clamps and slide the steam hose away from the canister fitting.
Release the canister clamp along the base of the canister.
8. Remove the canister.
9. Reverse previous steps to re-assemble humidifier, paying special attention to the following:
• When replacing the wiring, connect the red wire from terminal #1 on the interface to the
red tip terminal on the canister. Reconnect the power wires as before (#2 on the left and
#1 on the right)
• When replacing the canister, always check the fill and drain solenoids for proper
operation.
11.3.4 Humidifier Circuit Board Adjustments
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Open all local and remote electric
power disconnect switches before working on the humidifier printed circuit board. Verify that
electric power is Off with a voltmeter prior to the procedure.
The humidifier control board governs humidifier operation. There are three potentiometers mounted on
the board and can be used to adjust for extreme water conductivity conditions.
POT2 controls the amperage at which the drain will energize and is clearly marked in percentages. This
adjustment is factory-set at 85%, which indicates that the unit will drain when the amperage falls off to
85% of the capacity set point. Raising the value increases the frequency of drain cycles. Lowering the
value decreases the frequency of drain cycles.
The frequency should be increased for highly conductive water and decreased for less conductive water.
If adjustment is necessary and a change of three to four percent in either direction does not permit
normal operation of the unit, consult your Liebert supplier.
The POT1 controls the duration of the drain cycle. This adjustment is factory-set at 60 seconds (1 VDC)
and should not be readjusted without consulting your Liebert supplier.
The DIP switch settings are used to set the capacity of the humidifier. If the humidifier is replaced in the
field the DIP switches should be set to the required settings described below.
