1 GETTING STARTED WITH iCOM™
The Liebert® Liebert® iCOM™ offers the highest capability for unit control, communication, and monitoring of Liebert
thermal management units. It is available factory installed on new units and assemblies or may be retrofitted in existing
units.
1.1 Touchscreen Display and User Interface
The Liebert® iCOM touchscreen and user interface speeds set up and installation and simplifies control of Liebert® thermal
management units, literally putting cooling system monitoring and management at your fingertips.
•The resistive touchscreen is used with a firm touch, or consider using a stylus when interacting with the
touchscreen.
•User and service menus are password protected to prevent unauthorized changes to cooling unit operation.
•The touchscreen is back lit and auto-dims after a period on non-use, then turns off. Touch the screen to
illuminate the main screen.
•iCOM ships with default settings for efficient and effective operation of most cooling units and is easily
configured to meet any need.
•iCOM menus and displays are based on the options installed on the cooling units that it monitors and manages.
