screen and a 7 membrane keypad. The control is menu-driven for ease of use. Figure 24, Section 3,
depicts the complete menu tree for the control. All control setpoints and alarm setpoints are program-
mable.
1.1.2 Evaporator System Components
DX Evaporator Section
The evaporator section includes the evaporator coil, thermostatic expansion valves, filter dryers, and
blower. The evaporator coil is constructed of copper tubes and aluminum fins and is designed for the
high sensible heat ratio required for electronic equipment. Room air circulation is accomplished by a
double inlet, belt driven centrifugal blower that has been dynamically balanced. The blower has self-
aligning bearings. Both the blower and motor have permanently lubricated ball bearings.
Chilled-Water Model
The Chilled-Water model is self-contained and is designed for use with an existing chilled-water loop.
It contains a chilled-water coil and a proportional modulating valve to control the flow of chilled
water.
1.1.3 Condensing Unit Components
The condensing unit is connected to the evaporator unit by four refrigerant lines and low voltage con-
trol wires. The condensing unit requires a power source and a power disconnect switch. A single point
power kit is available for close coupled (attached) units.

1.2 Optional Equipment
1.2.1 Canister Humidifier
The optional, factory-installed steam generating humidifier adds pure water vapor to the room air to
control humidity. Room humidity setpoints are established by the user. The humidifier components
include: a steam canister (replaceable), control board, inlet strainer, fill and drain valves.
1.2.2 Electric Reheat
The 304/304 stainless steel electric reheat is energized when required to heat room air or to control
room temperature during dehumidification. A safety switch prevents the reheat from exceeding tem-
perature limits.
1.2.3 SCR Electric Reheat
The 304/304 stainless steel reheat is pulsed rapidly to provide precise temperature control, while cool-
ing is locked on. A safety switch prevents the reheat from exceeding temperature limits.
1.2.4 Hot Gas Bypass (Condensing Units)
This optional system bypasses compressor discharge around the condenser directly to suction to pro-
vide capacity control and reduce compressor cycling. System includes liquid injection valve to main-
tain proper suction superheat. Hot gas bypass is provided on both circuits.
1.2.5 Free-Cooling Coil (GLYCOOL)
When ambient temperatures are low enough, cold fluid is piped to a secondary coil or a separate
source of chilled-water may be piped to this coil.
1.2.6 Smoke Detector
If smoke is detected in the return air, the unit display sounds an audible signal and the unit shuts
down.
1.2.7 Firestat
When the return air temperature limit of approximately 125°F (51.7°C) is exceeded, the unit shuts
down.
1.2.8 Filter Clog
If high pressure differential is detected across the return air filter, an adjustable pressure differential
switch sounds an audible signal.

2.0 SITE PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation Considerations
The evaporator unit is usually mounted above the suspended ceiling using field supplied threaded
rods. Refer to Figure 1 for possible configurations. The condensing unit may be:
• Indoor Air-Cooled Centrifugal Fan Condensing Unit mounted remotely or close coupled to the
evaporator in the ceiling space.
• Outdoor Air-Cooled Propeller Fan Condensing Unit.
• Indoor Water/Glycol-Cooled Condensing Unit, mounted remotely or close coupled to the evapora-
tor.
2.1.1 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 be vapor resis-
tant.
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.
NOTE
Before installing unit, determine whether any building alterations are required to run piping,
wiring, and duct work. Carefully follow all unit dimensional drawings and refer to the
submittal engineering dimensional drawings of individual units for proper clearances.

NOTE
The single most important requirement for maintaining environmental control in the
conditioned room is the vapor barrier.

2.1.2 Location Considerations
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 to the exterior of the cabinet, as they
could interfere with maintenance or service.
!CAUTION
Units contain water. Water leaks can cause damage to sensitive equipment below. DO NOT
MOUNT UNITS OVER SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT. A field-supplied pan with drain must be
installed beneath cooling units and water/glycol-cooled condensing unit.
NOTE
Do not mount units in areas where normal unit operating sound may disturb the working
environment.

2.4 Installing the Evaporator or Chilled-Water Units
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 codes. Use field-supplied 1/2"-13 tpi threaded
suspension rods and 1/2"-13 tpi hardware kit.
Recommended clearance between ceiling grids and building structural members is unit height plus 3
inches.
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, raise the unit up and pass the threaded rods through the four mount-
ing holes in the flanges that are part of the unit base.
Attach the threaded rods to the unit flanges using the supplied, springs, and washers. (See Figure 4).
The coil springs 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 by the four rods, does not rest on the ceiling grid, and is level. Ensure none of the
springs are compressed to solid height. The coil side of the unit is heavier, so these springs will be
compressed more than the other side.
2. Use the Nylock nuts to “jam” the plain nuts.
Figure 4 Threaded rod and hardware kit installation
!WARNING
Be sure the supporting roof structure is capable of supporting the weight of the unit(s) and the
accessories during installation and service. (See 2.2 - System Weights.)
Be sure to securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods. Make sure all nuts are tight.
NOTE
The units must be level in order to drain condensate properly.

2.4.1 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 5). If Single Point Power Kit is used, install the box into the
evaporator prior to suspending the units. Route power wire flex conduit into condensing unit as units are
suspended. Refer to instructions supplied with kit for details. Align bolt holes in the condensing unit and
in the evaporator. Insert rubber spacers and secure four (4) sets of hardware provided. Align the refriger-
ant connections and tighten them as described in 2.4.3 - Piping Connections and Coolant Require-
ments. Remove “P” clamps from piping to aid fitting alignment.

2.4.2 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 two (2) 20% (Liebert part no. A-0320) or 30% (Liebert part no. A-0400) 25" x 20" x 4" fil-
ters.
Connections for Ducted Systems
Use flexible duct work or non-flammable cloth collars to attach duct work to the unit and to help con-
trol 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 on the duct. Duct work should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local and
national codes.
NOTE
Do not operate the unit without filters installed in return air system.

A 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) female pipe thread (FPT) 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.
Figure 6 Drain installation
!CAUTION
The drain line must not be trapped outside the unit, or water may back-up in drain pan.
Drain is internally trapped.
This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other suitable material for the drain line.
Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an external trap.
