WARNING! Risk of improper wire sizing/rating and loose electrical connections. Can cause overheated wire
and electrical connection terminals resulting in smoke, fire, equipment and building damage, injury or death.
Use correctly sized copper wire only and verify that all electrical connections are tight before turning power
On. Check all electrical connections periodically and tighten as necessary.
WARNING! Risk of top heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury or
death. Read all of the following instructions and verify that all lifting and moving equipment is rated for the
weight of the unit before attempting to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.
WARNING! Risk of wiring damage, short circuits and electric shock. Can cause overheated wiring, smoke, fire,
activation of fire suppression systems and EMS personnel and equipment, building and equipment damage,
injury or death. Insert CSA certified or UL listed bushings into holes and or knockouts used to route wiring
through metal panels to protect the wire insulation from contact with sheet metal edges.
CAUTION: Risk of explosive discharge of high pressure refrigerant. Can cause serious injury. Neutral and
service ports on the rotalock valve do not have a valve core. Front seat the service valves and relieve pressure
from the compressor before loosening a part or a component attached to the service valve. Follow local codes
to properly reclaim refrigerant.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters, and exposed fasteners. Can cause injury. Only
properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE should attempt to move,
lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The compressor, refrigerant discharge lines,
fan motor, and some electrical components are extremely hot during unit operation. Allow sufficient time for
them to cool to a touch safe temperature before working within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and
wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE when working on or near hot components.
CAUTION: Risk of handling heavy and lengthy parts. Can cause personal injury and equipment damage.
Cabinet panels can exceed 5 ft. (1.5 m) in length and weigh more than 35 lb. (15.9 kg). Follow relevant OSHA
lifting recommendations and consider using a two person lift for safe and comfortable removal and
installation of cabinet panels. Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA-
approved PPE should attempt to remove or install cabinet panels.
CAUTION: Risk of exposure to harmful noise levels. Can cause hearing injury or loss. Depending on the
installation and operating conditions, a sound pressure level greater than 70dB(A) may arise. Take
appropriate technical safety measures. Operating personnel must wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE
and observe all appropriate hearing protection safety requirements.
1 Important Safety Instructions 3

CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause tubing and component rupture resulting in
equipment damage and personal injury. Do not close off the refrigerant-line isolation valve for repairs unless
a pressure relief valve is field installed in the line between the isolation valve and the check valve. The
pressure relief valve must be rated 5% to 10% higher than the system design pressure. An increase in
ambient temperature can cause the pressure of the isolated refrigerant to rise and exceed the system design
pressure rating (marked on the unit nameplate).
NOTICE
Risk of improper power supply connection. Can cause equipment damage and loss of warranty coverage.
Prior to connecting any equipment to a main or alternate power source (for example: backup generator
systems) for startup, commissioning, testing, or normal operation, ensure that these sources are correctly
adjusted to the nameplate voltage and frequency of all equipment to be connected. In general, power source
voltages should be stabilized and regulated to within ±10% of the load nameplate nominal voltage. Also, ensure
that no three phase sources are single phased at any time.
NOTICE
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
Liebert®DSE systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs water at a much faster rate
when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is the enemy of a reliable refrigeration system,
extreme care must be used when opening systems during installation or service. If water is absorbed into the
POE oil, it will not be easily removed and will not be removed through the normal evacuation process. If the oil
is too wet, it may require an oil change. POE oils also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a
refrigeration system. Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will tend to bring
any foreign matter back to the compressor.
NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant charge must be weighed into air cooled compressorized systems before they are started. Starting
digital scroll compressors without proper refrigerant charging can cause the compressors to operate at less
than 5°F (–15°C) evaporator temperature and at less than 52psig(358kPa). Operation for extended periods at
less than 52psig(358kPa) can cause premature compressor failure.

NOTICE
Risk of clogged or leaking drain lines and leaking water supply lines. Can cause equipment and building
damage.
This unit requires a water drain connection. Drain lines must be inspected at startup and periodically, and
maintenance must be performed to ensure that drain water runs freely through the drain system and that lines
are clear and free of obstructions and in good condition with no visible sign of damage or leaks. This unit may
also require an external water supply to operate.
Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the unit. Water
leakage can result in catastrophic and expensive building and equipment damage and loss of critical data
center equipment.
Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.
We recommend installing a monitored fluid detection system to immediately discover and report coolant-fluid
system and condensate drain line leaks.
NOTICE
Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory installed trap inside the cabinet.
Installation of a second trap will prevent drain water flow and will cause the water to overflow the drain pan.
Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently cause an external trap.
NOTICE
Risk of doorway/hallway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may be too large to fit
through a doorway or hallway while on the skid. Measure the unit and passageway dimensions, and refer to the
installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify clearances.
NOTICE
Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to
fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
NOTICE
Risk of improper storage. Can cause unit damage.
Keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from dampness, freezing temperatures and contact damage.
NOTE: The Liebert® indoor cooling unit has a factory installed, high pressure safety switch in the high side
refrigerant circuit. Each refrigerant receiver contains a fusible plug for fire safety purposes. Consult your local
building code to determine whether the refrigerant piping will require additional, field provided pressure relief
devices.

3.2 Connections and System Setup
•The unit requires a drain, which must comply with all applicable codes. See Connections and System Setup
above, for details.
•If seismic requirements apply, consult your Vertiv representative for information about a seismic rated floor
stand.
NOTE: Seal openings around electrical connection to prevent air leakage. Failure to do so could reduce the unit’s
cooling performance.
The Liebert® DSE controls superheat with an electronic expansion valve (EEV). The EEV controller adjusts the orifice based
on suction pressure and temperature. The EEV control will drive the valve to maintain the superheat setpoint, set in the
Liebert® iCOM™, using a Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) routine. The PID control values are set at the factory for
most applications. These default values PID will allow stable superheat control of the unit.
3.3 Operating Conditions
The Liebert® DSE must be operated in a conditioned space within the operating envelope that ASHRAE recommends for
data centers. Operating the DSE outside of this envelope can decrease equipment reliability. Refer to ASHRAE’s
publication, “Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments.”
The recommended maximum for return air temperature is 105°F (40°C) and maximum dew point is 59°F (15°C). The
