SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that must be closely followed during installation of this system to maintain
compliance with agency listings. Read all safety and operating instructions for all pieces of equipment before attempting to
operate the Vertiv™ SmartRow™ DCX. Adhere to all warnings on the system and in this manual. Follow all operating and
user instructions.
This product is designed for commercial/industrial use only. This product is not intended for use with life support or other
U.S. FDA designated “critical” devices. Maximum loads must not exceed those specified in this manual.
Install the equipment in a clean environment, free from moisture, flammable liquids, gases and corrosive substances. The
Vertiv SmartRow DCX must be deployed in an indoor environment that is maintained year-round between 50°F and 85°F
dry bulb (10°C and 30°C) and less than 60°F dew point (16°C). It is not suitable to install outdoors or in unconditioned
spaces (warehouses, garages, etc). This will avoid undesirable condensate formation and ensure there is air available at
suitable conditions for ventilating the SmartRow system if the Automatic Emergency Ventilation Fans activate. Additionally,
systems using a remote condenser must be operated within these parameters:
The control system provides refrigerant head-pressure control for outdoor ambient temperatures as low as -30°F (-35°C),
provided that the total design range (from minimum to maximum) is 125°F (70°C) or less. For traditional DX applications,
Vertiv™Liebert Lee-Temp kits are required only when the design temperature ranges exceed 125°F (70°C).
•Vertiv™ Liebert® MC condensers—above -20°F (-29°C)
•Liebert MC condensers with Liebert Lee-Temp kits—above -30°F (-35°C)
This product must be connected to and powered by suitable AC supplies, rated in accordance with the unit’s serial tag. It
must be properly grounded and protected by appropriately sized circuit breakers.
NOTE: The Vertiv SmartRow DCX must be installed on a flat, level surface for proper assembly and operation.
