INTRODUCTION
The Liebert iCOM offers the highest capabilities in unit control, communication and monitoring of Liebert mission-critical cooling units. Liebert iCOM may be used to combine multiple cooling units into a team that operates as a single entity, enhancing the already-high performance and efficiency of Lieberts units. Liebert iCOM is available as a factory-installed assembly or may be retrofitted on existing products with SM, AM or AG controls. Large graphic display wall-mount versions of the control are available for remote operation and monitoring of cooling units.
1.1
Features
Large and Small Displays
The Liebert iCOM is available with either a large or small liquid crystal display. The Liebert iCOM with small display has a 128 x 64 dot matrix screen that simultaneously shows two menu icons, along with descriptive text. This display is capable of controlling only the unit it is directly connected to. The Liebert iCOM with large display has a 320 x 240 dot matrix screen that shows up to 16 menu icons at a time, as well as descriptive text. This display can be used to control a single cooling unit or any cooling unit on a network, regardless of how it is connectedeither integrated into a cooling unit or simply connected to the network and mounted remotely. Liebert iCOMs menu-driven display is used for all programming functions on each connected cooling unit. The Status menu shows the status of the conditioned space, such as room temperature and humidity, temperature and humidity setpoints, alarm status and settings, event histories and the current time.

Main Unit Screen

The temperatures shown at the top of the main unit screen are determined by the configuration of the Liebert iCOM. The values are based on which sensors are used for controlling airflow, cooling capacity and humidification. The data at the upper left of the screen can be either average or maximum rack temperature, depending on the selection in the Remote Sensors Mode. The data at the upper middle of the screen can be either dew point or relative humidity, depending on humidity control type. Each unit can display individual remote rack sensors. The reading will be either an average or maximum reading between the two sensors connected at each 2T sensor module. The bar graphs upper limit is set at 77F (25.0C)The lower limit is set at 68F (20.0C), the rack inlet temperature range recommended by ASHRAE. When a rack temperature is at or above the upper limit, the bar graph will be all black. When a rack temperature is at or below the lower limit, the bar graph will be all white.

OPERATION
The Liebert iCOM display provides viewing, trending and configuration capability for Liebert cooling units. All unit settings and parameters can be viewed and adjusted through three menus: User, Service and Advanced. All active alarms are displayed on the LCD and annunciated. The control is shipped from the factory with default selections for all necessary settings. Adjustments can be made if the defaults do not meet your requirements. References to menu items in this manual are followed by the main menu and the submenu where they can be found. For example: Temperature Setpoint (User Menu, Setpoints) - The Temperature Setpoint parameter is located in the User menu under the Setpoints submenu. High Return Humidity (Service Menu, Set Alarms) - The High Return Humidity alarm is located in the Service menu under the Set Alarms submenu.

3.1.1
Single Unit Functions

Unit/Fan Control Start - Stop
The fan output is first activated when the unit is switched On. The unit can be switched On and Off from two inputs: ALARM OFFThe unit has an alarm that has forced the unit to turn Off. MANUALUnit is being controlled by a service technician using the Service Diagnostics Manual Mode. LOCAL OFFWhen a unit is turned Off from the Unit Status Screen or small display, LOCAL OFF is shown for unit status. DISPLAY OFFWhen a unit is turned Off from the System Screen of a large display, Display OFF is shown for unit status. ALARM STANDBYThe unit has been rotated into standby because an active alarm on the unit is present. STANDBYThe unit is in standby based on the Lead / Lag settings in the Service Menu. TIMER OFFThe unit has been set to Sleep and is waiting for the next start interval. See User / Sleep Mode Menu. UNIT ONThe unit is operating normally without alarm or warning. WARNING ONThe unit has an active warning but is still operating. See User / Active alarms for details. ALARM ONThe unit has an active alarm but is still operating. See User / Active alarms for details. TIMERThe unit is configured on a timer to only operate at certain times. See User / Sleep Mode Menu. REMOTE OFFRemote shutdown terminals will turn Off the connected unit and the front display shows REMOTE OFF as the status. This command can also be invoked from a BMS. MONITORNG OFFIn this case, an override to the monitoring is possible: Pressing the On-Off button of the display will change the state to Unit Off; pressing again will start the unit in Unit On. BACKDRAFTThe unit is in a non-operational mode, but is operating the EC fan as a backdraft damper. Pressing the On/Off key on a small display will affect only the cooling unit it is mounted on, regardless of whether the cooling unit is a stand-alone unit or part of a network. The small Liebert iCOM display does not have access to the Unit-to-Unit network. NOTE Pressing the On/Off key on a large display of a stand-alone cooling unit will control only that unit.
16
Operation
The effect of pressing the On/Off key on a large display connected to a network depends on the view: System or Unit. In System view, pressing the On/Off key shows a warning asking for confirmation to shut down the entire system. In Unit view, pressing the On/Off key affects only the unit being viewed, without a confirmation request. Each time a unit is powered on or off, an event is added to the Event Log in the User menu. NOTE Customer switches: remote On/Off (if used) and display On/Off switches are in series. A cooling unit will start only if both switches are On; if one of these switches is Off, the unit will stop. Safety devices within the unit are also in series and will shut the unit down if applicable. Figure 17 Start-stop priority switches
Remote On / Off Display On / Off
NOTE If Remote On/Off is not used, a jumper is inserted to bypass the switch.
Autorestart
When input power returns after a power failure, the unit will return to its previous operating status: On if it was On before the power failure, Off if it was Off. When power returns, the autorestart timetime-selectable: Single Unit Auto Restart (Service Menu, Options Setup)will determine how quickly the unit restarts. If the units are on the same network, the autorestart time runs in a loop, starting each unit in sequence, beginning with Unit # 1.
Loss of Power Alarm

A Loss of Power Alarm is activated when power is restored after an interruption. If acknowledged, the alarm resets automatically after 30 minutes. This alarm can be set to different event types (Message, Alarm or Warning) and can be disabled under menu item Loss of Power (Service Menu, Set Alarms). NOTE Loss of Power alarm will be activated only on units that had the fan switched On before power was lost.
Fan Alarm / Fan Protection Settings

The fan operation is protected by two digital devices: motor protection (optional) and a differential pressure switch. The motor protection monitors for main fan overload (Main Fan Overload alarm) or EC fan fault and the differential pressure switch detects a loss of airflow. If either protection device is activated after an adjustable time delay, an audible alarm occurs, an alarm relay activates and an event is recorded in the event log (Main Fan Overload and Loss of Airflow in Service Menu, Set Alarms). The fan delay at the unit start is always five seconds shorter than the control delay (to avoid shortcycling components when the fan is not working). There are two selection possibilities for both, Loss of Airflow and Main Fan Overload: Shutdownstops the unit (intended for DX models). Disabledisables humidifying, heating and dehumidifying outputs; allows cooling and free-cooling only (intended for chilled water models / external cooling). NOTE When the Main Fan Overload alarm is active, the Loss of Airflow alarm is masked out.

Operation
Variable Speed FansEC or Variable Frequency Drives

Parameters related to VSD fan speed setting can be found in the Service Menu / Setpoints submenu on page 5 of 8. This menu allows the cooling unit's fan motor speed to be configured and adjusted for a variety of applications by selecting which sensor controls the fan speed. If the fan control and the temperature control sensor have the same sensor selected, then it is considered a coupled control. If different sensors are selected, then the control is considered to be decoupled. All units ship from the factory with the temperature control and fan speed control sensor set to the Return Air Sensor. Manual Operation: When set to Manual, the speed of the fan motor follows user input as set either locally at the Liebert iCOM display or remotely via Modbus communication, which works in conjunction with an optional Liebert IntelliSlot 485 card. Additional fan speed configuration parameters include a fan speed filter and fan speed reposition delay timer. These parameters allow fine tuning of the fan speed control and, except for setting to Manual, are applicable to any other operation mode set in the VSD fan speed setting. The fan speed filter allows the fan to respond at a different rate depending on the location of the control point within the proportional band. Example: When the controlled temperature is near the setpoint or at conditions where the proportional band output is decreasing and approaching 0%, the fan speed change rates are proportionally decreased to avoid overshooting the controlled temperature. However, when the temperature rises above the setpoint or at conditions where the proportional band output is increasing, the fan speed change rates are proportionally increased. The fan speed reposition delay timer setting in the Liebert iCOM menu can be changed to improve the fan operation stability if it is oscillating. The delay timer holds back the fan output change until each delay period is reached if fan speed is decreasing. If fan speed is increasing, then the delay timer has no effect. NOTE The fan speed lower and upper limit settings are set at the factory. The standard fan speed control will be overridden during a call for Dehumidification if the function is enabled. When there is a call for Dehumidification, the fan speed will change to the VSD Setpoint Dehum parameter found in the Service Menu, Setpoints. The standard fan speed control will be overridden during a call for Humidification or Reheat. During a call for Humidification or Reheat, the fan speed will change to a higher speed, which is set at the factory to eliminate the possibility of condensation or damage to the unit.
Dual Cool Units with Variable Fan Speed Fans

Units with a freecooling source as described in 3.3 - Temperature ControlSecond Cooling Source can have variable speed fans ramp based on a temperature sensor when in its freecooling mode or in compressor operation. If the unit is set to simultaneous mode and freecooling is available, the fan speed will ramp from its minimum to maximum speed to take advantage of all freecooling capacity before activating the compressors. This means that when a compressor is activated the fan speed will be at 100%.
VSD Setpoint (VSD Fan Speed Setting)

If the VSD Fan Speed Control (Service Menu, Setpoints) is set for Manual, the VSD Fan Speed Setpoint (Service Menu, Setpoints) may be set for the desired speed of the variable speed motor. Depending on the product control design, there may be an internal minimum speed, as defined by that specific product operation, while the customer input may be set for 0-100%: Fan speed may be set locally at the unit using the Liebert iCOM display. Fan speed may be set remotely via a BMS signal (sent via Modbus using an optional Liebert IntelliSlot 485 card), which then transmits to the unit local control.

Minimum Fan Speed Liebert DS units with pressure transducers 70% Liebert Deluxe System3 units with low-pressure switches limited to 80% Units with low-pressure switches instead of transducers will also be limited to 100% fan speed when either compressor is fully loaded.
3.1.2
Back-Draft Fan Damper

The Liebert iCOM controller has the ability to operate EC fans at very low speed to effectively act as a back-draft damper. The power used to prevent air flow from entering a standby unit from the raised floor by spinning the fans at a low speed is much less expensive than the additional static that conventional mechanical dampers introduce while the unit is in operation. Mechanical Fan Dampers No damper = Waste of efficiency, mixture of discharge and return Increase pressure drop during unit operation Up-front cost of mechanical dampers Increases unit height or adds complexity under floor Fans rotate at low speed to prevent air flow through unit Adjustable, based on application No pressure drop during unit operation No up-front cost as with mechanical dampers

Operation
3.1.3
General Compressor Requirements Low-Pressure Time Delay

When the compressor starts, the low-pressure input is ignored for a selected period of time based on the setting of the Low Pressure Alarm Delay (Service Menu, Options Setup). This time is usually set to 3 minutes on air-cooled units, and to 0 or 1 minute on water cooled units. When this time is expired, a second timer starts to operate if the low-pressure input is active. This second timer is active during normal compressor operation to avoid compressor trips due to bubbles in the refrigerant or other influences creating short trips of the low-pressure switch. The low-pressure device input is ignored if the compressor is not operating. Exception: Pump Down (see Pump Down). NOTE Low-pressure condition could be read through contacts or through pressure transducers with threshold setting. The advanced low pressure routine is automatically used when a unit is equipped with the Liebert iCOM controller, unloading compressors (4-Step and Digital Scroll), low-pressure transducers and has variable fan speed (VFD or EC fans). The low-pressure routine monitors the low-pressure transducers and interacts with the fan and compressor to prevent the units coil from freezing. NOTE Pressure transducers have been installed in all Liebert DS units. However, the Liebert Deluxe System 3 units have all shipped with low-pressure switches, which cannot utilize the advanced freeze protection routine described above. Units equipped with switches have a higher minimum fan speed setting due to this limitation. A Liebert Deluxe System 3 unit can be updated to pressure transducers as a field upgrade if lower fan speed settings are desired.
Advanced DX Freeze Protection

Applying fan speed to direct expansion systems generates the issue of how to avoid freezing condensate on the coil when the unit operates below 100% fan speed. Liebert iCOM's advanced freeze protection now provides the ability to predict freeze conditions and correct this condition automatically by adjusting the fan speed and compressor capacity. Compressor Type Support Digital scroll (all sizes) Four-step (all sizes) No standard scroll support Freeze Protection Fan and compressor will override sensors when freezing is detected Fan ramps up first, then compressor unloads
Pump Down
Pump Down is applicable to compressorized systems if equipped for pump-down operation, which is set at the factory. This operation prevents the compressor oil from being diluted with liquid refrigerant to ensure that the compressor is properly lubricated for the next startup. The Pump Down operation operates in the following manner: Whenever the control determines that no more cooling is required and a compressor needs to be shut off, the liquid line solenoid valve (LLSV) is closed (de-energized). The compressor will continue to operate until the low suction pressure device (LPS or LPT) opens, which shuts off the compressor. If the LP device does not open within a specified time, the LLSV is turned On, then back Off (the assumption is that the LLSV is stuck). If, after three times, the LP device does not open, the compressor and LLSV are locked off and an alarm Pump Down not completed will appear. There is a re-pump down if the LP device opens again after the compressor has been already stoppeda maximum of six re-pump-down cycles per hour are allowed. At the seventh request of repump down, the alarm Comp 1 Pumpdown Fail or Comp 2 Pumpdown Fail will appear and the compressor will be locked out.
20
Operation
Pump down is always performed loaded (for compressors with unloaders: unloaders off, digital scroll: control solenoid valve disabled). For digital scroll only: when pump down has finished successfully (LP device opened), pump down will be continued for another half-second with the control solenoid valve energized.
High Pressure Alarm

When the compressor is initially activated, the system will be monitored for a high pressure situation. When a high pressure situation is detected during the first 10 minutes of operation, the unit will attempt to correct the problem several times without notification. If the unit is unsuccessful in correcting the problem, an alarm will occur and the affected compressor will be locked off. If high head pressure alarm trips three times in a rolling 12 hour period, the affected compressor will be locked off. After the compressor has been running for 10 minutes, if a high head pressure situation is detected, an alarm will occur and the affected compressor will be immediately locked off without the unit trying to correct the problem. Once the compressor is locked off, it will not come back on until main power is reset, or until the HP Alarm Counters (Service Menu, Diagnostics) are reset to 0. Setting the counter to 0 will auto-reset the alarm without the need of pressing the reset button on the display. Even if the pressure in the system drops below the alarm point, the compressor will remain off until the system is reset. NOTE If the unit is equipped with manual reset high head pressure switches, or if the auto reset high head pressure switches dont reset, the compressor will not be turned back on, but there will be a 30-second delay from when the high head pressure situation occurs and when the alarm is annunciated.
Digital Scroll High Temperature

A protective maximum operating compressor temperature limit is imposed on units with digital scroll compressor(s) with thermistor. If the digital scroll temperature reaches the maximum temperature threshold, the compressor will be locked out for at least 30 minutes and an alarm will be annunciated. If after 30 minutes the temperature has cooled to a safe operating temperature, the compressor will resume operation. Each time a high-temperature alarm occurs, HT 1 Alarm Counter (Service Menu, Diagnostics) or HT 2 Alarm Counter (Service Menu, Diagnostics) is increased by one. Once these counters reach five occurrences in a rolling four-hour period, the compressor will be locked out. The alarm can be reset once the temperature returns to a safe level by: 1. Setting the counter back to 0 from the display and pressing the alarm reset button. 2. Shutting off power to the control board by turning the cooling unit's main power disconnect switch Off and On.
3.1.4
Compressor TimingShort-Cycle Protection

To help maximize the life of your compressor(s), there is a start-to-next start delay for each single compressor. NOTE This delay may cause a short cycle if there is a very light room load. A short cycle means that the compressor has cycled On and Off 10 times in the past hour. Should this occur, contact your local Emerson representative to adjust the minimum compressor off delay.

3.1.5
Compressor Sequencing on Two-Compressor Units

Compressor Sequencing parameter (Service Menu, Options Setup) is intended to maintain equal run times between compressors. This setting has three selection possibilities: Always use Compressor 1 as lead compressor. Always use Compressor 2 as lead compressor. Auto: First priority: if the safety timings are acceptable for only one compressor, then it is the next to be started/stopped. If both compressors are off: the one with fewer working hours is the next to start. If both compressors are in operation: the one that has been operating longer since the last start is the next to be stopped. NOTE The Auto setting attempts to maintain equal run times between compressors.
3.1.6
Motorized Ball Valve in Water-Cooled Units

On water/glycol-cooled units, discharge pressure is controlled by a motorized ball valve (MBV). During unloaded operation, pressure changes during each digital cycle could cause a pressure-controlled water regulating valve to open and close an excessive number of times. The motorized ball valve is designed to maintain a consistent peak discharge pressure. The control algorithm for the motorized ball valve uses an intelligent sampling rate and adjustable pressure thresholds to reduce the number of times the valve opens and closes. The valve assembly consists of the brass valve, linkage and actuator. Each compressor has one motorized ball valve that is driven by the analog output of the Liebert iCOM based on discharge pressure. If there is a call for cooling, the compressor start is delayed by a 30-second timer. During this delay, the motorized ball valve is set to 50% open to allow fluid flow through the unit condenser. The compressor will start after the 30-second timer elapses. Motorized Ball Valve Manual Mode: (Service/Service) Manual operation can be selected to allow service personnel to control the motorized ball valve from the Liebert iCOM. When Auto BV Control is selected, the motorized ball valve functions as it would be during normal system operation. NOTE Compressor operation will be delayed 30 seconds to allow the motorized ball valve to position itself for initial startup. When Manual BV Control is selected, the user must be careful in setting the MBV position because the ball valves will remain in the position set in the Service menu until the control is switched back to Auto or until a technician changes the valves to another manual position (the motorized ball valve in manual mode can be set in 1% increments from fully closed to fully open). Low- or high-discharge pressure may occur during this mode, depending on environmental conditions and the position of the motorized ball valve. The motorized ball valve is driven by a 2-10VDC proportional control signal: the valve is closed at 2VDC, 50% open at 6VDC and fully open at 10 VDC.
3.1.7
MBV Operation After Compressor is Turned Off

Once a compressor has stopped, the MBV control will continue to change the MBV position to maintain system pressures for a maximum time of 10 minutes by following the Auto BV control algorithm. When the 10-minute delay has expired or the discharge pressure is below its minimum threshold, the motorized ball valve will close until the next compressor activation.
22
Operation
3.1.8
Service OffsetChanging System Pressure Settings

The MBV control is set to maintain a system pressure specific to the particular type of cooling unit. A properly trained and qualified technician can increase or decrease the pressure through the Ball Valve Setpoint Offset found in the Service/Options Setup menu. The range is 0 to 50 PSI; the default is 30 PSI. NOTE Adjusting this parameter will increase or decrease the operating compressor discharge pressure by changing the targeted range of control. The discharge pressure is the peak pressure of the digital cycle.
3.2
3.2.1
Temperature ControlSingle Source Cooling (No Extra Cooling Coil)

Temperature Proportional Band
The control uses the temperature proportional band to determine which operation to perform (cooling/heating) and how much capacity to provide. The Temperature Proportional Band is a userdefined range that is divided into two equal parts for cooling and heating. The Temperature Setpoint is between these two equal parts. An optional Temperature Deadband range can be defined, which is equally divided on either side of the setpoint and separates the two halves of the proportional band. Figure 20 illustrates how the temperature proportional band is evenly divided on either side of the temperature setpoint, with and without a deadband.
Figure 20 Temperature proportional band

The control works the same for both supply or return air control. When air temperature deviates from the setpoint, the control will bring on cooling or heating. If the actual air temperature increases, the control calls for 0% (none) to 100% (full) cooling capacity based on how much the temperature exceeds the setpoint. If the return air temperature decreases, the control calls for 0% to -100% (none to full) heating capacity based on how far the temperature is below the setpoint. When the return air temperature reaches the end of the proportional band, either 100% or -100%, full cooling or full heating capacity is provided. No operation is performed when a 0% call is calculated or the temperature is within the deadband. The control varies the call for cooling and heating in 1% increments as the air temperature moves through the proportional band halves. The deadband range is used to widen the setpoint. When the air temperature falls within the deadband, the control operates the same as if the temperature equaled the setpoint exactly. This setting helps maximize component life by preventing excessive component cycling. NOTE The temperature deadband prevents small temperature changes from activating compressors and valves.
23
Operation
The Temperature Proportional Band and Temperature Deadband parameters are in the Service menu under the Setpoints submenu. The Temperature Setpoint parameter is in both the User Menu and Service Menu under Setpoints. There is a parameter AutoSet Enable (Service Menu, Setpoints), which automatically sets the proportional bands for temperature and humidity, and both the integration time factors according to the type of unit (chilled water, single or dual compressor). NOTE Before the proportional or integral setpoints can be changed, the Auto Set Enable must be changed to NO.

Operation
Digital Scroll Compressors A digital scroll compressor can modulate its capacity anywhere between 10-100%. This variable capacity modulation allows cooling units to control an environment more precisely. Digital scroll capacity modulation is achieved by energizing and de-energizing a solenoid valve on the compressor. When the solenoid valve is de-energized, the compressor capacity is 100%. When the solenoid valve is energized, the compressor capacity is zero. Therefore, the capacity of the compressor depends on how long the solenoid is de-energized for. If the solenoid is de-energized for 10-seconds, then energized for 5 seconds during a 15-second cycle, the resulting capacity will be 66% as shown in Figure 24. Figure 24 Digital scroll capacity modulation, 10-100% variable

On single and dual digital scroll compressor systems, the first compressor is started at 25% calculated output from the temperature proportional band and stopped at 10%. On dual digital scroll compressor systems, the second compressor is started at 35% and stopped at 20%, see Figure 25. When a compressor is started, the solenoid is energized longer than it is de-energized to match the call for cooling. When the call for cooling increases to 100%, the solenoid is de-energized for the entire 15 second cycle. Figure 25 Single and dual digital scroll compressor activation points

Chilled Water Control

The chilled water control valve is adjusted proportionally as the temperature control varies the requirement for cooling from 0% to 100%. A three-point actuator or motorized ball valve is used for chilled water cooling, as well as free-cooling hot water or heating. The three-point actuator is driven through two digital outputs: Open and Close. The control determines the valve position by timing how long the open or closed signals have been active based on the valve travel time set in the Service menu / Setup submenu. To determine the initial position of the valve, the unit must perform a 3P Reset. The 3P Reset closes the valve for a time of 110% of the 3P Actuator run time. This calibrates the valve with the controller and ensures that it is closed. A 3P Reset is also performed if the fan is switched off for any reason (timer off, unit off, etc.). Once the reset is performed, the three-point actuator can be configured to utilize the pre-wired feedback signal provided from the factory. Enabling the feedback signal is required when supply air control is being used with the 3P valve to increase the valves position accuracy. Enabling the feedback signal will eliminate the need to drive the valve closed after a loss of power or Unit Off command, decreasing the units restart time. Authorized Emerson personnel should use the following steps to enable the feedback signal: 1. The feedback on the control valve uses Analog Input 1. 2. Nothing can be connected to Analog Input 1 P11 pins 1 through 4. 3. Control board DIP switch SW2 Switch 1 must be ON, Switch 2 must be OFF.
Figure 26 DIP switch locations on Liebert iCOM control board
4. P68 must have a jumper placed between the top and bottom two pins on the left side and one placed between the top and bottom pins on the right side, the two middle pins should be left unconnected. 5. Go to Service/Diagnostics Service Menu and find S379. Set this option to Feedback and note that S380 will go to Yes and S381 will go to Ongoing. If Feedback is already selected, then go to line S380 and manually select Yes. This means that the Liebert iCOM is doing auto calibration on the valve using the feedback now available through the potentiometer. Wait for S381 to say Idle and then the process is complete.
27
Operation
Chilled water units that contain a motorized ball valve(s) are connected to the control by an analog output. The analog output is driven proportionally to the call for cooling as shown in Figure 27. Larger chill water units may contain two motorized ball valves in which both valves are controlled in parallel for cooling. The two valves may be set to Cascade mode for dehumidifying to minimize the overcooling effect during dehumidification. NOTE Depending on the valve specifications, the voltage output may be a 0-10VDC or a 2-10VDC that is scaled automatically within the control. Figure 27 Chilled water valve control (example: cooling)

Temperature ControlSecond Cooling Source

Certain cooling units are available with a second source of cooling within the unit. These typically are compressorized models with an additional chilled water or free-cooling coil.
3.3.1
Differential Temperatures / Controls (Comparator Circuit)

Delta T (Temperature Difference) Between Room and Glycol The comparator circuit determines if the glycol / chilled water temperature of the second cooling source is low enough to provide at least partial cooling capacity. The comparator circuit has three settings (DT Between Room / FC Type, [Service Menu, Setpoints]): Disabled Contact Value The Disabled setting is for standard compressorized and chilled water units that do not have a second cooling source. The Disabled setting can also be used to disable the second source of cooling. The Contact setting is used when an external input is being used to determine when the second cooling source is to be activated. The external control communicates to the Liebert unit via contact closure. Closed = activate second cooling source control Open = deactivate second cooling source control The Value setting is the factory default setting (8F [4.4C]) on free-cooling and dual cooling units. If the temperature difference between the second source cooling fluid parameter, Freecooling Fluid Temperature (User Menu, Sensor Data) and room air is equal to or greater than the adjustable DT Between Room Air / FC Fluid (Service Menu, Setpoints) value, then the second source cooling fluid will be used to provide at least partial cooling. Sensors used for this delta T are: room/local sensor or the return air sensor; and the glycol sensor. If this delta T is true, the following actions will be performed: 1. The Free-Cooling Status indication will show On instead of Off. 2. The compressor band will be shifted to the right by 100%, and within the first 100% the freecooling valve band will take place (see Figure 28). The cooling portion of the proportional band is doubled, with the first half of the band controlling the free-cooling valve and the second half controlling the compressors.

Source
Minimum Chilled Water TemperatureThis feature permits the user to select the minimum chilled water temperature that allows simultaneous operation of the second cooling source (chilled-water valve control) and compressor control. This feature is enabled in the Service menu under Setpoints, parameter Minimum CW Temp. If the water temperature is below this minimum chilled water setpoint, parameter Minimum CW Temp Value, (Service Menu, Setpoints), the control will operate ONLY the second cooling source control, i.e., the compressor is locked out. Above the minimum chilled water setpoint, assuming the fluid temperature is below the return room air temperature (delta T between room and glycol = true), the control will operate the second cooling source control and compressor control simultaneously if needed. If the Minimum CW Temp is disabled and the second cooling source temperature is ignored, the control will always operate the second cooling source and compressors simultaneously when the load requires it.
GLYCOOL CoolingFree-Cooling
When GLYCOOL cooling is available, the temperature control will calculate a total cooling requirement of 200% rather than 100%. Assuming that full GLYCOOL capacity is available, the GLYCOOL valve opens proportionally as the requirement for cooling rises from 0 to 100%. If more than 100% cooling is required, then the compressors are activated their normal activation settings within the 100-200% proportional band, 150% and 200%, respectively, on two-step systems (133%, 163%, 180% and 200% for a four-step system). If full GLYCOOL capacity is not available, then the GLYCOOL valve will be opened proportionally over a cooling requirement band equal to the available GLYCOOL capacity. The compressors would be activated when the GLYCOOL capacity is exceeded. For example, if the GLYCOOL capacity is 60%, then the GLYCOOL valve would be fully open at 60% cooling requirement. The compressors would continue to activate or deactivate based on shifting the activation points from 0-100% to 100-200% in relation to the cooling output band within the 100-200% proportional band. To reduce compressor cycling and prevent hunting, GLYCOOL capacity first becomes available when the entering glycol temperature is at least 8F (4.4C) (22% capacity) below the return air temperature, or 3F (1.7C) below the return air temperature for two hours. GLYCOOL capacity is 100% when the glycol temperature is 25F (13.9C) below the return air temperature. The system will continue to operate in Econ-O-Cool mode as necessary as long as the entering glycol temperature remains at least 3F (1.7C) (0% capacity) below the return air temperature. If GLYCOOL is not available, the compressors activation and deactivation points are not shifted as explained above.
Dual Cooling Source

If dual cooling is available, the system operates in the same manner as a GLYCOOL system, except that it is assumed that 100% chilled water capacity is available any time the chilled water temperature is 3F (1.7C) below the return air temperature.

Liebert Air Economizer Operation

Liebert cooling units control the Liebert Air Economizer with the analog outputs of the Liebert iCOM control. The Liebert iCOM can be used with a Liebert Air Economizer or with a previously installed Liebert Air Economizer equipped with 0-10VDC or 2-10VDC dampers. The Liebert iCOM is capable of driving two independent damper motors or can be set up through the software to output a single signal where the dampers are inversely driven. The primary cooling unit responds to sensors that monitor the temperature and humidity of the outdoor air, return air and supply air. If outdoor conditions are within the tolerances set, the primary cooling unit opens the Liebert Air Economizers dampers varying amounts to use outdoor air for cooling. When outdoor conditions are too warm or humid for cooling, the primary cooling unit closes the Liebert Air Economizers dampers, taking it out of the cooling process.
NOTICE
Risk of high or low humidity. Can cause environmental conditions that are outside equipment requirements. While the Liebert Air Economizer is operating, the primary cooling units humidification and dehumidification are inhibited. If humidity level is important to operational requirements, it must be controlled by other methods during operation of the Liebert Air Economizer. While the primary cooling unit is cooling without the Liebert Air Economizer, the primary cooling unit will control humidity levels according to its setpoints.
NOTICE
Risk of freezing temperatures. Can cause equipment and property damage. Low outdoor temperatures can produce freezing conditions that adversely affect cooling systems employing water, particularly when the water is not moving through the pipes. When cooling system water is not moving, frozen waterlines, burst coils and water damage are possible. The outside damper must be set so that it is fully closed when freezing temperatures are possible and the cooling system is not operating (see 3.4.3 - Disable the Liebert Air Economizer). This can be achieved by either connecting a freeze stat that interrupts the economizer signal or by wiring a freeze stat directly into the Liebert iCOMs customer input. The risk of freezing is increased unless the proper amount of glycol is added to the chilled water unit loops.
NOTICE
Risk of infiltration of odors, smoke and particulates from outside air. Can cause environmental conditions that are outside equipment requirements. The Liebert Air Economizer does not remove odors, smoke, gases or particulates from the outside air used for cooling. These must be controlled by other methods.
3.4.1
Liebert Air Economizer Operational Condition Normal Operation

When the Liebert Air Economizer is being used for cooling, both the outside air damper and the room return air damper are active in an opposing relationship. The cooling requirement and temperature of the outdoor air will determine the position of the outside air damper. It will range from fully closed to fully open. As the outside air damper moves toward fully open, the return air damper will close to a minimum of 15%. The 15% minimum is to make sure that air remains circulating near the return air sensor. If the return air sensor is moved to another position where there is constant circulation of air in both outdoor and indoor modes, then the minimum 15% indoor damper position can be removed.
32
Operation
NOTICE
Risk of improper operation. Can cause degraded cooling and ventilation operation because of improper building air pressure. The incoming air from the outside damper requires expelling an equal volume of air through a field-provided powered relief air vent. The volume that must be expelled will vary from 0 to 80% of the total airflow for all Liebert Air Economizer units. The powered relief system should be sized for 80% of the total airflow for all Liebert Air Economizer units in the conditioned space and to maintain minimal building air pressure.

Liebert Air Economizer System Overview

Controller settings will vary depending on the application. The objective of all settings is the same: to expel warm air from the conditioned space and bring in cooler air through the Liebert Air Economizer. This function is monitored continuously by the Liebert iCOM that controls the Liebert Air Economizer. Figure 32 shows an example of the air flow pattern of a Liebert Air Economizer system. The indoor sensor must be positioned where there is airflow when the system is in full economizer operation and when the system is operating in non-economizer mode. If the indoor damper position has been changed to 0% from the factory default of 15%, then the indoor sensor must be moved, preferably to the hot aisle.

Operation
Out of Service
When the Liebert Air Economizer is not operating, the outside air damper is closed, the return air damper is open and the relief air vent fan is shut down. This permits air from the conditioned space to be drawn into the primary cooling unit, cooled and expelled into the conditioned space. The relief air vent is not required while the Liebert Air Economizer is not in service because no air volume is being brought into the conditioned space.
NOTICE
When a non-Liebert mixing box and damper motors are used, make sure that the following configurations are verified before a unit is placed into service. No power to Liebert unit means that there is no power applied to the Liebert Air Economizer damper motors. Without a spring return motor, the dampers will remain in the last position they were in when power was present. Spring return operation during a no-power condition should always be verified at startup. While the Liebert Air Economizer is not operating, which could be due to the outdoor air conditions, a manual lockout through the Liebert iCOM or a Unit Off state will result in 2VDC being present on the associated indoor and outdoor analog outputs. The 2VDC signal must result in the outdoor damper being closed and return damper opened. During full Liebert Air Economizer operation, theLiebert iCOM will send 10VDC to the return and outdoor damper which must open the outdoor damper and close the return damper to its minimum position of 15%.
NOTICE
Risk of improper operation. Could cause frozen coils, resulting in degraded operation, water leaks, equipment damage and building damage. Failure to verify that the indoor and outdoor damper operation is correct could result in the freezing of chilled water coils, condensation within the data center or a main fan overload.

Operation
DT between Room / Outdoor TypeSets the activation point of the ambient dry bulb outdoor temperature as it relates to either an indoor actual temperature or temperature setpoint. If set to Temp, the outdoor dry bulb temperature is compared to the return temperature actual value. If set to Set, the outdoor dry bulb temperature is compared to the return temperature setpoint. If set to Disable, the outdoor temperature will not be compared to the return sensor value for activation. When set to Temp or Set, the outdoor temperature must be lower than the room temperature setpoint or the actual return temperature sensor reading. In most applications, this parameter will be set to Temp because the outdoor air temperature will reduce cooling costs as long as the outdoor air is below the return air temperature to the primary cooling unit. This remains true even when the outdoor temperature is higher than the supply control setpoint. The following examples assume that the unit is set for supply air control and that the moisture content of the outdoor air is within the allowable range. Example 1 Return Temperature: 90F (32C) Outdoor Temperature: 80F (27C) Supply Air Temperature: 60F (16C) The conditions in this example would result in a reduction of 10F entering the unit and would extend the operating range of the Liebert Air Economizer. The outdoor damper would be 100% open and the mechanical cooling would be utilized to achieve the 60F (16C) supply temperature setpoint. Example 2 Return Temperature: 75F (24C) Outdoor Temperature: 80F (27C) Supply Air Temperature Setpoint: 60F (16C) In this example, the cooling unit would not use outdoor air because it is warmer than the actual return temperature to the CRAC. Example 3 Return Temperature: 75F (24C) Outdoor Temperature: 40F (4C) Supply Air Temperature: 60F (16C) In this example, the cooling unit would open the outdoor damper based on the amount of cooling needed to satisfy the supply air temperature setpoint. The unit should be able to satisfy the supply air setpoint with Liebert Air Economizer operation only. DT between Room Air / OutdoorSets the delta that must be achieved between the outdoor temperature and either the return setpoint or return actual reading to enable the Liebert Air Economizer. DT between Room / FC TypeDetermines the method to activate the water circuit on dual-cool and free-cool units. When this parameter is set to Contact, a dry contact closure can be used to activate the free cooling circuit. When this parameter is set to Value, the delta between the water temperature of the free-cooling circuit and the actual room temperature are compared. DT between Room Air / FC FluidSets the delta between the actual room temperature and the free-cooling fluid temperature to determine if cooling can be provided. Minimum CW TempEnables the temperature at which free-cooling can operate independently without assistance of the compressor circuit. Minimum CW Temp ValueSets the water temperature at which 100% free-cooling can be provided to handle the full room load. When the fluid temperature is below this setting then the compressors will no longer turn on until the water temperature is above the minimum CW Temp. Lockout FC at FC Fluid belowThe temperature that turns off the free-cooling circuit when the water temperature is too low. This setting prevents frost from building up on the free-cooling pipes when the outdoor ambient is extremely low.

The actual outdoor and return damper positions are shown at parameters SA29Outdoor Damper Position and SA30Return Damper Position (see Figure 36). Air Economizer activation relayThe K11 relay is activated when the Liebert iCOM determines that the Liebert Air Economizer is available for use. This relay will remain active during a BMS remote deactivation of the Liebert Air Economizer. Adjusting control limits with Air Economizer unitsA cooling unit equipped with a Liebert Air Economizer will be factory-set to utilize outdoor air based on the current ASHRAE standards. When the outdoor damper is opened Liebert iCOM will automatically disable any humidification control as humidification and dehumidification will not be able to overcome the amount of outdoor air being used. However, other units not equipped with Liebert Air Economizers may continue to humidify and dehumidify the data center. If the room is equipped with a mixture of Liebert Air Economizer and other types of units, then follow these steps. 1. 2. Identify the allowable outdoor air conditions entered into the Liebert iCOM control. Upper dewpoint 57.5 / Lower dewpoint 44. Dry bulb is limited, based on the selection in S135. Set the deadband and proportional band of the units based on the allowable outdoor air. Setpoint = 41% Proportional band = 1% Deadband = 17% Return Temperature Setpoint = 75F NOTE Even when the return temperature setpoint is not being used for cooling control, it must be set to operate in Compensated or Predictive humidity control. 3. The units should also be set for predictive humidity control which will compensate for any deviation from the Return Air Temperature setpoint and Relative Humidity Control.
Liebert Air Economizer Fan Speed Control

When the fan control mode is placed into Auto and the supply air sensor is set to Control, the fan will modulate with the first stage of cooling. Fan Ramps with Liebert Air Economizer when available and will be at 100% when the outdoor damper is at 100%. This will provide the most capacity from the Liebert Air Economizer and will help in holding off the mechanical cooling (2nd Stage). When the Liebert Air Economizer is not available, the fan will still ramp with the first stage of cooling but the first stage will be either a chilled water valve or compressor operation. For other control modes, refer to the variable speed fan section of the Liebert iCOM manual. Those modes are not affected by the Liebert Air Economizer operation.
Reduced Economizer Air Flow

During startup, the Liebert Air Economizer airflow sensor will need to be calibrated. To calibrate follow the next steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Place a voltmeter on Terminals 24 and 50. Locate the Liebert Air Economizer air flow sensor. Turn the airflow sensor counterclockwise until the voltmeter indicates 0VAC. Then turn the airflow sensor adjustment screw clockwise until the voltmeter indicates 24VAC. When the voltmeter shows 24VAC, turn the screw counterclockwise one full turn.
Liebert Air Economizer Variable Speed Fan Operation (VFD and EC Fan)
Upon startup after a loss of power to the Liebert iCOM control board, the main fan will operate at 100% for the first 5 minutes of operation. After running at 100% for 5 minutes, the standard fan control will be able to modulate the fan.?Does this apply in Manual Mode?

Liebert Air Economizer Control Menu Settings

The Liebert Air Economizer control uses an outdoor temperature humidity sensor to detect when outdoor conditions are within the operating range. The outdoor sensor can be monitored from the Service/Economizer data menu on page 2 of 3 (see Figure 35). The Liebert iCOM control is equipped with a series of setup parameters to allow limited adjustment and monitoring of the Liebert Air Economizers dampers and sensor. To access these parameters from the main unit screen: 1. Press the down arrow key until User Menu is displayed. 2. From the User Menu screen, press the right arrow key to enter the Service Menu. 3. Press the Enter key once in the Service Menu and use the arrows to navigate to the ECO icon on the bottom row. 4. Once this icon is selected, press Enter. The parameters for the Liebert Air Economizer are now viewable.
Liebert Air Economizer Status Screen

Parameters SA03 through SA08 of the Liebert Air Economizer screen will show the current status of the Liebert Air Economizer control. The Liebert Air Economizer will be activated for use if: All temperatures and ratios are within the outdoor sensor range The outdoor air is cooler than the indoor return air temperature. Whether the Liebert Air Economizer function is available will be shown at parameter SA07 Economizer Available. The Liebert Air Economizer control allows the range of outdoor air acceptable for cooling to be narrowed by adjusting the Humidity Ratio Min and Max settings.

Temperature ControlReheat
If the room air temperature becomes too cold, the control will call for heating. Heating mode is controlled by the Temperature Proportional Band, explained in 3.2.1 - Temperature Proportional Band.

Electric, Hot Gas and Hot Water Reheat

Different types of cooling units feature different types of standard electrical heating. Not all types offer hot gas or hot water reheat. The number of electrical heating stages also variessome types of cooling units have single-stage electrical heating as standard and offer two-stage electrical heating as an option. Other types feature three-stage heating as standard. The Reheat Proportional Band is divided into three equal parts, each representing one reheat stage. As the Temperature Proportional Band increases the call for heating from 0% to -100%, stages 1 through 3 are switched On, as shown in Figure 38. Your unit will have one of the nine reheat configuration types shown in Table 4. Table 4

SCR Reheat
SCR reheat is a type of electric reheat that provides tighter temperature control than staged electric reheat. SCR reheat capacity modulation is achieved by pulsing the reheat On and Off. Full capacity is achieved by constantly energizing the reheat. Units equipped with SCR reheat can operate in Tight or Standard mode. By default, cooling units with SCR reheat are factory-set to operate in Tight mode. The mode of operation can be set by adjusting the SCR Control Type parameter (Service Menu, Setpoints). Tight Mode In Tight mode, the compressors and reheats are operated at the same time to provide maximum temperature control. The temperature deadband is set to zero at the factory. In a cooling unit with SCR reheat and two single-step compressors, the first single-step compressor is started and full reheat capacity is provided at 0% calculated output from the Temperature Proportional Band. As the call for cooling increases from 0% to 100%, the reheat capacity is slowly reduced by pulsing the reheat. At 100% call for cooling, the reheat is deactivated and the second single-step compressor is started. As the call for cooling is reduced, the reheat capacity is slowly increased. When the call for cooling returns to 0%, the second single-step compressor is deactivated. If the Temperature Proportional Band calculates a call for heating from 0% to -200%, the first single-step compressor remains activated and full reheat capacity is provided. Based on the factory default settings, the first single-step compressor is deactivated when the control reaches -200% call for heating. The compressor remains deactivated until the control calls for 0% heating. The compressor activation and deactivation points can be adjusted in the Service menu under Setpoints. Figure 39 illustrates how a cooling unit with two single-step compressors and SCR reheat operates when the SCR Control Type is set to Tight mode. NOTE Some cooling units are not suited for a strict NO LOAD application. These cooling units require a minimal load in the space. Consult factory for verification.

Humidity Control
The control uses the humidity proportional band to determine which operation to perform (dehumidification/humidification) and how much capacity to provide. The Humidity Proportional Band is a user defined range that is divided into two equal parts for dehumidifying and humidifying. The Humidity Setpoint is located between these two equal parts. An optional Humidity Deadband range can be defined, which is equally divided on either side of the setpoint and separates the two halves of the proportional band. Figure 41 illustrates how the humidity proportional band is evenly divided on either side of the humidity setpoint, with and without a deadband.
Figure 41 Humidity proportional band

When the return air humidity deviates from the setpoint, either dehumidification or humidification is activated. If the return air humidity increases, the control calls for 0% (none) to 100% (full) dehumidifying capacity, based on how far the humidity penetrates the dehumidification portion of the proportional band. If the return air humidity decreases, the control calls for 0% (none) to -100% (full) humidifying capacity based on how far the humidity penetrates the humidification portion of the proportional band.
43
Operation
When the return air humidity reaches the end of the proportional band, either 100% or -100%, full dehumidification or full humidification capacity is provided. No operation is performed when a 0% call is calculated. The control varies the call for dehumidifying and humidifying in 1% increments as the return air humidity moves through the proportional band halves. The deadband range is used to widen the setpoint. When the return air humidity falls within the deadband, the control operates the same as if the humidity equaled the setpoint exactly. This setting helps maximize component life by preventing excessive component cycling. The Humidity Proportional Band and Humidity Deadband parameters are in the Service menu under the Setpoints submenu. The Humidity Setpoint parameter is in both the User menu and Service menu under Setpoints.
3.6.1
Humidification Infrared Humidifier

There are two types of infrared humidifiers: small pan (IFS) and large pan (IFL). The operating mode of each is similar, however, some of the variables or timings differ. The Liebert Challenger has different fill times because of the size of the pan. Infrared humidifiers are started at 100% humidification request, and stopped at 0%. Infrared humidifiers cannot be driven in proportional mode. Table 5
Parameter Humidity in Last xx Hours Fill Time Humidifier On Time Flush Rate
Parameters for infrared humidifier control

IFS Default 15 hours 33 seconds 440 seconds 150% IFL Default 15 hours 56 seconds 576 seconds 150% Liebert Challenger 15 hours 27 seconds 568 seconds 150%
An autoflush system automatically controls a water makeup valve to maintain proper levels in the infrared humidifier water pan during humidifier operation. If humidification is needed and 15 hours have elapsed since the last time the humidifier was on, then the humidifier is not turned on until the valve completes an initial fill of the humidifier pan. This pre-fill is about 30 seconds for a small pan and 60 seconds for a large pan. The valve continues to fill and flush the pan for about 4-1/2 minutes for a small pan or 7-1/2 minutes for a large pan. Pan size is selected based on unit specifications and is preset at the factory. During humidifier operation, with the flush rate set at the default of 150%, the valve is opened periodically to add water to the pan (about 45 seconds every 7 minutes of humidifier operation for a small pan, or 80 seconds every 10 minutes of operation for a large pan). This adds enough water to the pan to cause about a third of the total water used to be flushed out of the overflow standpipe located in the humidifier pan. This action helps to remove solids from the pan. The flush rate is adjustable from 110% to 500% in 10% intervals. Default is 150%. If the water quality is poor, it may be desirable to increase the water flushing action above the normal 150% rate. Also, if the supply water pressure is low, the flush rate adjustment can be increased so that sufficient water level is maintained during humidification. The flush rate parameter, Infrared Flush Rate (Service Menu, Options Setup), is adjustable from 110%-500%. External Humidifier ControlOptional A factory-supplied option may be provided to allow a start-stop command to be sent to the control of a remote-mounted humidifier.
Steam Generating Canister Humidifier

The Steam Generating Humidifier has its own separate control board that manages the canister and steam rate. Liebert iCOM sends an On-Off command to relay a call for humidification.
44
Operation
3.6.2
Dehumidification
The Dehumidification Enable parameter (Service Menu, Options Setup) allows for enabling/disabling the dehumidification function. A call for dehumidification is calculated in the same way as a cooling request. The components (valves, compressors) will follow this dehumidification request as soon as it is higher than the request for cooling.
Dehumidification Low Limit

Low Limit 1 and Low Limit 2 are used to avoid overcooling a room during dehumidification. When a low limit is reached, a compressor or the liquid cooling source that is used for dehumidification is disabled. It is re-enabled when the return air temperature rises. The Low Limit 1 and 2 settings are in the Service menu under Setpoints. Low Limit 1: Low Limit 1 will disable one of two compressors for dehumidification. If only one compressor is set for dehumidification, or if the dehumidification source is chilled water, this limit will not be visible and will be inactive. Low Limit 2: Low Limit 2 will disable both compressors for dehumidification. This limit will also stop dehumidification in single compressor units and in chilled water units. The limits become active when the return air temperature drops below a temperature value equal to the sum of the temperature setpoint plus the value set on Low Limit 1 and 2 (the Low Limit settings are negative values). A dehumidification source is deactivated if the return air temperature drops below the Deactivation Temperature, as in this example:
Temperature Setpoint: Low Limit Value: Deactivation Temperature: 70F (21.1C) -7F (-3.8C) 63F (17.2C)
NOTE If a cooling unit is equipped with SCR reheat and the SCR Control Type parameter is set to Tight mode, then Low Limit 2 will be ignored, see 3.5 - Temperature ControlReheat.

Operation
Dehumidification Compressor Quantity

Under Factory Settings in the Advanced menu there is an item called Dehumidification With Comp. This will be set to either 1, 2, 1 or 2, or BOTH. This setting determines which compressors are used for dehumidification. It also determines if Low Limit 1 will be available and impacts how the reheats will operate during dehumidification. The Dehumidification With Comp field is set when the cooling unit is built and should not be adjusted without first consulting the factory. Table 6 outlines which Low Limit settings will be available, based on the Dehumidification With Comp selection. Table 6 Dehumidification With Comp settings
Dehumidification With Comp Setting [blank] (units without compressors) 1 or 2 (Compressor 1 and 2 alternate) Both (both compressors dehumidify) Default Setting On All Chilled Water Units Liebert DS Available to Set Value Low Limit 2 only Low Limit 1 & 2
Low Limit 1 and 2 will be available only on cooling units with two compressors when Dehumidification With Comp is set to BOTH (see WARNING on page 46). Low Limit defines the sensor and the setpoint used to determine the low limit thresholds for all cooling and dehumidification modes. The value of the selected sensor is compared with the setpoint set in _S132 + the LL1 / LL2 settings (_S133). Possible selections are: 0 = Supply Sensor (selectable only when _S102 Temperature Control Sensor is set to Supply) 1 = Remote Sensor (selectable only when _S102 Temperature Control Sensor is set to either Remote or Supply) Falls back to Supply when all Remote Sensors are set to "Disabled 2 = Return Sensor - Default for all configurations, and the only allowable setting when _S102 Temperature Control Sensor is set to Return. Defaults: Any time the _S132 sensor setting changes (away from the default Return or back to Return), the setpoint will take the same value of what is set in _S103 Temperature Setpoint.
Reheat During Dehumidification

Hot gas reheat or hot water reheat will start as described in 3.5 - Temperature ControlReheat, when the temperature decreases during the dehumidification process. The parameter Electric Reheat Operation defines how the heaters react in case the temperature decreases during the dehumidification process. This parameter does not impact SCR reheat operation. The Electric Reheat Operation parameter is in the Advanced menu under Factory Settings and should not be adjusted without factory approval. NoNo electric reheat allowed during dehumidification process. DelayedThis setting applies only to two-compressor units with BOTH compressors selected for dehumidification. The electric reheats are prevented from turning on until Low Limit 1 is reached. At this condition, one stage of dehumidification is disabled and the reheats are activated. At Low Limit 2, both stages of dehumidification are disabled. When Delayed is selected on units with a single compressor selected for dehumidification (Dehumidification With Comp Setting: 1, 2, and 1 or 2), the reheats will operate in the same manner as they do for Staged as described below. Delayed is the default setting for Liebert DS units. StagedThis setting applies to one or two compressor units. Electric heaters will stage as described in 3.5.1 - Electric, Hot Gas and Hot Water Reheat. Staged is the default setting for Challenger 3000 units. On two compressor units with staged reheat selected and Dehumidification With Comp set to BOTH, the control allows for operating two compressors and reheats simultaneously. It is important that electrical service to the unit be sized and wired for this option if selected.
! WARNING If the electrical service to the unit is not properly sized, it could trip the building circuit
breakers (or fuses) or, in extreme cases, damage the building wiring. This warning applies only when the Dehumidification With Comp is set to BOTH and the Electric Reheat Operation is set to Staged. Consult factory before making any changes to the default settings.

Control Types
Temperature and Humidity Control Types
The Liebert iCOM has three Temperature and Humidity Control Types: Proportional PI Intelligent Each control type affects the timing and intensity of the cooling/heating and humidifying/dehumidifying operations. The Control Type parameter is in the Service menu under Setpoints. ProportionalIf Proportional Control is selected, the percent cooling/heating requirement is determined by the difference between the air temperature sensor reading and the temperature setpoint. As the air temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the percent cooling required increases proportionally (from 0 to 100%) over half the programmable temperature proportional band (See 3.2.1 - Temperature Proportional Band). The percent heating requirement (0 to -100%) is determined the same way when the air temperature falls below the setpoint. The humidifying/dehumidifying operations are controlled in the same manner as the cooling/heating operations; however, the humidity sensors, setpoints and proportional bands are utilized. The Proportional control type is commonly selected on compressorized units. PIIf PI Control is selected, the percent cooling/heating requirement is calculated by combining two methods, proportional and integral. The proportional term is calculated in a manner similar to the previously described Proportional control. The integral term (sometimes called reset action) is calculated by measuring how much and how long the air temperature/humidity has been above or below the setpoint. If the actual air temperature/humidity is above the setpoint, the percent requirement is slowly but continuously increased until the total is sufficient to bring the return room air back to the setpoint. IntelligentIf Intelligent Control is selected, the air temperature/humidity is controlled at or near the setpoint. The percent temperature/humidity adjustment required is calculated based on logic that is programmed into the control. This logic simulates the actions that a human operator would take if manually controlling the system. This control type is commonly selected on chilled water units. NOTE The actual air temperature sensor reading is always displayed on the Status menu. The value displayed for the return air humidity sensor reading depends on the Humidity Sensor Control Type (see 3.7.2 - Humidity Sensor Reading Control Types). Inteligent control should be used only on chilled water units.

3.7.2
Humidity Sensor Reading Control Types

The Liebert iCOM has four humidity sensor control types: Dew Point, Relative, Compensated and Predictive. The humidity sensor adjusts how the Temperature and Humidity Control determines the percent requirement for humidification/dehumidification. The humidity sensor control type parameter, Humidity Control Type, is in both the User and Service menus under Setpoints. Dew PointThe actual return temperature and humidity measured by Liebert iCOM is used internally to determine the dew point. When Dew point control is selected, the user will set the humidity setpoint in dew point and will also adjust the proportional band in degrees dew point. RelativeThe actual return air humidity sensor reading is sent to the Temperature and Humidity Control to determine if and how much humidification/dehumidification is required. The actual return air humidity reading is displayed on the Status menu. Unnecessary dehumidification can result when overcooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle. This is because a higher than normal relative humidity (RH) reading is caused by overcooling the room. This extends the dehumidification cycle. Later, when the dehumidification ends and the return air temperature rises to the setpoint, the RH reading falls. The final RH reading will then be lower than actually desired. If significant overcooling occurred, the RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier. CompensatedThe actual return air humidity sensor reading is sent to the Temperature and Humidity Control where the Humidity Setpoint is adjusted based on how much the return room air temperature deviates from the desired temperature setpoint. The adjusted humidity setpoint is used for humidification percent requirement determination. For every 1C deviation from the temperature setpoint, the humidity setpoint is changed by 3% RH, inversely proportional: if the temperature increases, the humidity setpoint is decreased, and vice versa. The recalculated humidity setpoint is shown as the Actual Humidity Setpoint (User Menu, Sensor Data). As the humidity setpoint is automatically adjusted, the high and low humidity setpoints (User Menu, Set Alarms) are adjusted accordingly. The unadjusted humidity sensor reading is displayed on the Status menu. PredictiveThe actual return air humidity sensor reading is adjusted before it is sent to the Temperature and Humidity Control. The humidity sensor reading is adjusted based on how much the return room air temperature deviates from the desired temperature setpoint. For every 1C deviation from the temperature setpoint, the humidity sensor reading is changed by 3% RH, directly proportional: if the temperature increases, the humidity reading is increased and vice versa. The adjusted humidity sensor reading is displayed on the Status menu. Units are shipped from the factory with Predictive humidity control set as default. If Compensated or Predictive humidity sensor control is selected, overdehumidification is avoided. When overcooling occurs, causing an increase in the relative humidity sensor reading, the humidity control program predicts what the RH will be when the dehumidification cycle ends and return air temperature returns to the setpoint. This allows the dehumidification cycle to end at the proper time. The Compensated and Predictive humidity sensor control can reduce energy consumption by minimizing compressor and reheat operation, and eliminating unnecessary humidifier operation. NOTE The historical humidity sensor graphs will display the real (unadjusted) sensor readings, no matter which Humidity Control Sensor Type is selected. The graphical sensor data is in the User menu under Graphics.

Supply Control
The supply temperature sensor should be placed in an area that is only infuenced only the unit it is connected to.
3.8.1
Supply Air
The Supply Air sensor can be used to control, limit or reference the discharge air temperature of the cooling unit. The desired supply sensor operation can be selected in the Service, Setpoints menu. The optional supply air temperature sensor allows use of either the Supply Air control or the Supply Limit control. This sensor can be added to existing Liebert iCOMs by purchasing the supply sensor and wiring harness. The supply air sensor must be connected to P13 pins 1 & 2. Contact your local Emerson representative for pricing and installation. Supply Control: When the supply sensor is set to Control, the unit will control the amount of cooling / heating being provided based on maintaining the discharge air temperature. The return air sensor will still control the humidity of the room. NOTE If unit is equipped with a 3P actuator type valve, then the valve must be changed to utilize the feedback signal. See 3.2.3 - Chilled Water Control. Supply Limit: Chilled water units may be set up with the supply air sensor to maintain a minimum air temperature under a raised floor to help prevent condensation. In order to avoid supply temperatures that are too low, the Supply Limit can influence the opening of three-point or analog actuators or the output of analog valves. The control compares the deviation from the return air setpoint and the supply limit setpoint, and calculates the output to the actuator from the smaller deviation. Cooling Only: When Cooling Only is selected, the cooling capacity of the system (valve or compressor) is modulated based on the supply temperature, but allows the fan speed to be controlled by a different sensor. Disable: Setting the supply sensor to Disable will allow the supply sensor to be monitored but will not affect the control output of the unit. NOTE Supply control and limit are calculated on each unit, independent of the other sensor readings on the network. When the supply air sensor is set up for Supply control, additional Supply Air configuration parameters (valve pulse, cooling filters and return compensation) can be used to further enhance the supply air control. The valve pulse and cooling filter timer can be adjusted to prevent oscillating around the supply setpoint and still allow for rapid valve adjustments to compensate for heat load changes. Contact your local Liebert service personnel for adjustments. Return Compensation begins to increase the supply air setpoint when the return air decreases below the return air setpoint. Example Setting the return compensation value in the Service, Setpoints menu to 5F (2.7C) will increase the supply setpoint from 50F to 55F (10C to12.8C) when the return temperature is at the low limit of the proportional band.

Liebert Smart Aisle Control

The Liebert iCOM Smart Aisle Control has been developed for DS, CW, Challenger, PEX and HPM units to take advantage of the variable fan speed (EC or VFD Fans) and variable capacity (Chilled Water, 4-Step and Digital Scroll) components that are available on these units. This new control scheme uses this variable capacity technology and applies it to ensure that the inlet air temperature to the server is maintained while providing the greatest amount of energy savings. Maintaining the rack inlet air temperature ensures that the IT equipment operates trouble free and keeps the server fans from ramping up from their minimum speed. Each Liebert cooling unit is equipped with an iCOM controller that has the ability to collect and control a supply (Discharge) air temperature sensor, a return temperature and humidity sensor and up to 20 rack temperature sensors. The Liebert iCOM Smart Aisle control utilizes each of these sensors to determine how to adjust the cooling, heating, humidification and dehumidification capacity of the unit. All floor mount cooling units equipped with Liebert iCOM can communicate with each other through standard Ethernet connectivity. This communication between the units allows coordination of cooling capacity, zoned air flow distribution, fail over protection and different modes of standby operation. To reach the full benefit of the Liebert iCOM Smart Aisle Control, the units must have this network connected. Upgrades are available for most Liebert Precision Cooling units that are not equipped with the Liebert iCOM control or with a variable speed fan. Contact Emerson Network Power Liebert Service for additional information.
3.9.1
Operation Inlet Rack Temperature Control

The Liebert iCOM Smart Aisle control monitors the inlet temperature to the racks using up to 20 rack temperature sensors that are connected to a Liebert iCOM control. These inlet rack temperature sensors are used to control the air flow (fan speed) of each unit. The air flow is increased when the inlet rack sensors detect a temperature higher than the setpoint and will decrease air flow when the head load decreases or changes to the application are modified (eg., Containment).
Additional Details of Rack Temperature Operation

The cooling units fan speed is determined based on the amount of deviation from temperature setpoint (Proportional) and the length of time the actual temperature has deviated from temperature setpoint (Integral) The fan speed control takes into account the actual temperature as it compares to the temperature setpoint and will modify how fast the fans can change speed to avoid overshooting the setpoint. In addition to the speed filters, the fan speed also has programmed independent acceleration and deceleration rates These control tuning parameters allow the fans to speed up quickly to match rapid heat load changes and react to containment doors being opened and closed while still providing stable control when the application returns to steady state operation.

Operation
3.9.2
Supply Temperature Control

The Liebert iCOM monitors and adjusts the supply (discharge) air temperature of the unit to provide a consistent underfloor air temperature by adjusting the compressor capacity or chilled water valve position. The supply temperature control operates the cooling capacity independently of the air flow that is controlled from the inlet rack temperature. The only time that the chilled water valve or the compressor will deviate from the supply temperature control is when temperature compensation has been activated.
Additional Details of Supply Operation

The valve(s) / compressor(s) position is based on the amount of deviation from temperature setpoint (Proportional) and the length of time the actual temperature has deviated from temperature setpoint (Integral). The valve(s) / compressor(s) also have programmed independent filters that will slow the rate of change as the actual temperature approaches temperature setpoint.
Temperature Compensation
Temperature compensation provides a useful link between the cold aisle temperature, cooling capacity and air flow. Temperature compensation allows for the units to automatically adjust the supply air temperature setpoint when the unit has reached its maximum airflow of 100% and the cold aisle temperature remains above the cold aisle setpoint. In this situation, the temperature compensation feature will be enabled and the supply temperature setpoint will be decreased proportionally until the Inlet rack temperature reaches the setpoint. Changes that could invoke temperature compensation would be the removal of floor tiles in non cold aisle areas, incorrect supply temperature setpoint, unit failure in another zone or greater than expected heat load changes in rack equipment. As a further protection, the temperature compensation routine also ties into the cascade / standby operation when Teamwork Mode 3 is selected. Figure 43 Supply compensation

Humidity Control
The Liebert iCOM monitors the return dry bulb temperature and return relative humidity to calculate a dew point. This dew point is then used to activate humidification and dehumidification based on the user entered Setpoints. Using dew point as the internal control method rather than relative humidity prevents inadvertent activation of humidification and dehumidification based on temperature changes at the return air of the unit. With a focus on supply and cold aisle temperatures instead of return it is critical that the control makes humidification decisions based on the actual room moisture content instead of the relative humidity measured in the return air which will fluctuate based on heat load Liebert iCOM allows for the operator to enter / view the humidity control points in either dew point temperature or relative humidity %. For those users who are not ready to convert to dew point values on the display, Liebert iCOM will still give the user the benefit of dew point control while still providing the ability to accept a relative humidity input. The Liebert iCOM control will take the temperature and relative humidity % to calculate the dew point for control purposes but will convert this data back to relative humidity % to show on the display.

Event Types and Properties

Liebert iCOM events are used to inform the user of cooling unit operational status. All events are recorded in the Event Log, which is in the User Menu. The user can change the type (alarm, warn, message) and time delay of some events and can also enable or disable some events. These event settings are in the Service Menu under Set Alarms, pages 3 to 7. If an event has a safety function (high pressure, low pressure, main fan overload, etc.), the safety function will be executed in any case, independent of the selected event type or if enabled or disabled. The timing will function as set. NOTE Not all critical event properties can be adjusted. Event Types Message: If this event occurs, it will only be entered into the event log. Warning: If this event occurs, a warning will be generated and entered into the event log. The general alarm relay will be activated only if parameter Warning Activates Alarm Relay located in the Service menu under Alarm Setup is set to Yes. The factory default setting is Yes. Alarm: If this event occurs, an alarm will be generated and entered into the event log. An alarm does not necessarily switch off the whole cooling unit; it depends on which alarm occurs. If a standby unit is set, any alarm will stop the faulty unit and ask the standby unit to start. Standby activation is achieved on alarms ONLY; messages or warnings will not start the standby unit. For more on standby units, see 4.0 - Teamwork. Time Delay Delays the event reaction once it is triggered. The time delay applies to safety functions and is entered in seconds. Enable or Disable Disabled events do not show up in the event log, on the display or on monitoring devices. Also, the common alarm relay will not be activated if a disabled alarm occurs. Safety functions, such as lockout compressor in case of high pressure are still performed. NOTE Once an event, either Warn or Alarm type, has been set to Disable, the associated alarm condition will not be annunciated. Disabled events may be reset only through the menu item Reset Disabled Alarms. NOTE The value of the external delay includes the internal delay if it is greater than the internal delay. The minimum setting of the external delay is the value of the internal delay. This is valid only for values marked with *.

The Liebert iCOM-DO is an optional discrete output relay card that can be connected to the Liebert iCOMs for providing dry alarm contact outputs for monitoring systems. The Liebert iCOM-DO is a direct replacement of the Liebert ENV-DO card that was supported on previous Liebert control systems. The Liebert iCOM-DO allows simultaneous use of the Liebert Intellislot cards as the Liebert iCOM-DO communicates over the CANbus network instead of the IGMnet interface. Liebert iCOM-DO card provides up to 15 configurable alarms through relay outputs. For the ratings and additional data, refer to the Liebert iCOM-DO manual, SL-28096. Each alarm output has 3 terminals: N/C, N/O and common. The Liebert iCOM-DO setup can be found in the Service, Liebert iCOM-DO menu (large display only). The Liebert iCOM-DO is pre-configured and its present is automatically detected by the Liebert iCOM once it is connected to the CANbus line. The default alarm configuration matches the original Liebert ENV-DO card alarm mapping. Table 11

The next maintenance calculation, as well as the diagnostics feature, will help keep the cooling unit running at peak performance to ensure minimum component stress and maximum reliability. The diagnostics will help the service engineer evaluate the units operation since the last maintenance.
3.11.1 Calculating Next Maintenance and Diagnostics

If the unit includes any of the following components, they are included in the calculation: Fan(s) Compressor 1 Compressor 2 Electric Heaters Humidifier Standard service interval (1, 2 or 4 times a year) (to be set) Working hours (counted) Number of starts (counted) Average running time (calculated) Optimum number of starts per hour (to be set) Maximum number of starts per hour (to be set) Maximum bonus to enlarge time to next maintenance (to be set) Maximum penalty to reduce time to next maintenance (to be set)
For each component, the next maintenance will be calculated from the following parameters:
Calculating Unit Wellness

Liebert iCOM keeps tabs on the condition of a cooling unit, determining its wellness and projecting when service will be needed, for the entire unit as well as for individual components. This assists in scheduling maintenance calls and helps pinpoint components likely to require service. Liebert iCOM displays a graphic for needed maintenance. It begins with the standard maintenance interval12 months, six months or three monthsand adjusts that based on its calculation of components wellness. To calculate wellness, Liebert iCOM keeps a running total of component working hours and the number of times it has been started. Liebert iCOM relates that data to the optimum/maximum starts per hour. Accordingly, Liebert iCOM will increase or decrease the time before the next service call. The more frequently a component starts, the sooner it is likely to need maintenance. If, for example, a units fan runs continuously, but its compressor starts and stops often, Liebert iCOM records that and calls for maintenance based on the compressors wellness factor. Alarms and warnings, such as clogged filters or high or low pressure, reduce the time till the next maintenance to zero. If the alarm is cleared and reset, Liebert iCOM recalculates wellness. It begins with the pre-alarm maintenance time and factors in the alarm.

The Standby (Lead/Lag) function allows one or more units to be set as Running and Standby for activation in case of an alarm. This function also allows the units to be programmed in a rotation to help ensure Standby unit operation. The Cascade Operation function allows additional units to be staged-on based on the temperature or humidity requirement.

Compatibility With Previous Liebert iCOM Controls

Extensive upgrades to the Unit-to-Unit communication software prevent Liebert iCOM controls with PA2.00.005R software from being compatible with Liebert iCOM controls that have earlier versions of Liebert iCOM software. Liebert iCOM controls with PA2.00.005R software will not communicate with Liebert iCOM controls with PA1.XX.XXXSTD software. Customers have Liebert iCOM controls with the PA1.XX.XXXSTD software and who need additional Liebert iCOM units can: Purchase new units with the previous software installed at the factory Purchase new units with the PA2.00.005R software and have a properly trained and qualified technician downgrade the units to to PA1.04.033.STD Have a properly trained and qualified technician upgrade the older unit(s) with PA2.00.005R For further information, contact your local Emerson representative.

Teamwork Modes
Groups of cooling units connected to a network can be set up to work together in any of these teamwork modes: No Teamwork Teamwork Mode 1 Teamwork Mode 2 Teamwork Mode 3
All Liebert iCOM-controlled cooling units on a network must be set to run in the same teamwork mode.
4.2.1
Application of Teamwork Modes

All units in a network will run in the same Teamwork Mode. No Teamwork: Multiple zones in one room Teamwork Mode 1: Balanced load (small groups of units inside the same environment) Teamwork Mode 2: Unbalanced load (large rooms, not all units will have the same load) (work well for most applications) Teamwork Mode 3: Allows the cooling capacity (Supply Sensor) to operate as a local control by removing only the amount of load required to maintain the discharge air temperature at each unit. This allows for an unbalanced room load while maintaining a consistent discharge air temperature. The fan speed is controlled by the remote rack sensors of all units, providing a controlled delivery method of the air to the cold aisle. In raised floor applications, Liebert iCOM units will share sensor information to achieve even underfloor air distribution. This distribution is achieved by operating all fans in parallel, which will also yield the greatest energy efficiency.

Teamwork
4.2.2
No Teamwork
All cooling units work independently, responding to their own sensors. Standby function and unit rotation are possible, but cascading is not (see Standby and Cascade on page 73). Autoset will not adjust the proportional band in this mode.
4.2.3
Teamwork Mode 1
Teamwork Mode 1 works best in small rooms with balanced heat loads. The return temperature and humidity sensor readings of all units in operation (fan on) are averaged by the master unit, Unit #1, and used for control. The master unit will send the operating requirements to all operating units according to unit numbers, rotated by one unit every 24 hours. In this teamwork mode, most of the parameters are shared; if set in any one of the units, all other units will follow with the same settings. AutoSet will adjust the proportional band in Teamwork Mode 1, see 3.2.1 - Temperature Proportional Band. The master unit evenly divides the system proportional band among the number of available units. Each unit will receive instruction on how to operate from the master unit based on how far the system deviates from the setpoints. The number of available units is calculated like: In non-standby configuration: all units with fan on In typical standby function (no cascade): all units with fan on In cascade mode: all units that could operate (no alarm, which forces the unit to switch off, unit not switched off, etc.) NOTE 1. Proportional actuators (chilled water valve, free-cooling actuator) are driven in parallel in all units. 2. Changeover to second cooling source, low limit during dehumidification and low supply limit control air local functions, managed from each unit independently. Figure 46 shows how two cooling units work together in Teamwork Mode 1. Since Unit 1 and Unit 2 are available to operate, the master unit, Unit 1, averages the temperature and humidity sensor readings from each unit. The master unit determines that a 60% call for cooling is required for the system. Since there are two available cooling units, each unit makes up half of the system proportional band; Unit 1 handles 050% system call for cooling and Unit 2 handles 51-100%. For every 1% system call for cooling, each unit provides 2% of its total cooling capacity. The 60% system call for cooling exceeds the 50% Unit 1 can provide, so Unit 1 operates at full capacity. The remaining 10% system call for cooling (60% - 50% = 10%) is handled by Unit 2. Unit 2 responds by operating at 20% cooling capacity (50% 10% = 20%).

4.2.4
Teamwork Mode 2
Teamwork Mode 2 is designed to prevent units within a group from working against each other or fighting. It is best applied in large rooms with unbalanced heat loads. In Teamwork Mode 2, all parameters are shared equal to Mode 1, and Unit #1 averages all of the available unit sensor readings on the network to define whether there is a cooling, heating, dehumidification or humidification request. If there is a cooling request, all units are released to start cooling resources according to their own temperature readings; heating is disabled for all units and vice versa. Same for humidity control. If the network average would ask for 0% proportional band, the most demanding request (highest or lowest temperature of all units, highest or lowest humidity of all units) would be used to define the operation to be performed. Teamwork Mode 2 does not rotate; unevenly distributed working hours to be expected. Autoset will not adjust the proportional band in this mode. NOTE In Teamwork Mode 2, all units must have the same setpoints. The units proportional band, deadband and related settings may differ.
4.2.5
Teamwork Mode 3 (Smart Team)

Teamwork Mode 3 can be selected when the units are set to operate in Smart Aisle Control mode and have been connected in a unit-to-unit network. Teamwork provides coordination between the units that will prevent fighting by not allowing units to operate in conflicting modes of operation at the same time by selecting which mode to operate within based on the average of the collective unit sensors (Cooling vs. Heating and Humidifying vs. Dehumidifying). For additional details, see 3.9 Liebert Smart Aisle Control. Teamwork Mode 3 allows the cooling capacity (Supply Sensor) to operate as a local control by removing only the amount of load required to maintain the discharge air temperature at each unit. This allows for an unbalanced room load while maintaining a consistent discharge air temperature. The fan speed is controlled by the remote rack sensors of all units, providing a controlled delivery method of the air to the cold aisle. In raised floor applications, Liebert iCOM units will share sensor information to achieve even underfloor air distribution. This distribution is achieved by operating all fans in parallel, which will also yield the greatest energy efficiency. Figure 47 shows the difference in both underfloor air distribution and energy consumption when Variable Fan speed and Teamwork Mode 3 are applied to the Liebert Precision Cooling units. The example on the left is using the standard standby configuration; the example on the right is utilizing Teamwork Mode 3. The units below are assuming that the fan power consumed at each unit is 8.1kW when operating at 100%.

Teamwork
Cascade
When data center environments require the cooling equipment to modulate from very low loads to the full design load, iCOM can coordinate unit capacity and unit activation in accordance with the Teamwork Mode 3 operation described above. The iCOM smart aisle controlled units that are placed into Standby mode will activate as the room environment demands more cooling capacity. iCOM will monitor the rack sensors and current operating state of each unit to determine when to activate a standby unit. To provide the most efficient operation from a system perspective, the Liebert iCOM will first ramp the operating units fans and chilled water valve to compensate for the increased heat load. Once the operating units have reached a set fan speed, the supply compensation will be activated to determine if a lower supply temperature can compensate for the load increase. Once the supply compensation routine has reached its threshold then the Liebert iCOM will activate a standby unit within the group.
Lead / Lag - Failure Scenarios

When redundancy configurations are required, the Liebert iCOM unit-to-unit network has built in fail-over conditions that require no building management interaction. The first and possibly most common failure scenario is a single unit or component failure. In this situation, the Liebert iCOM will automatically activate a standby unit in the place of the failed unit. Unit-to-Unit and sensor failure scenarios have also been programmed into the Liebert iCOM controller. For example if the remote sensors fail at the unit level, the unit will continue to operate using the other unit's remote sensor values. If all remote sensors fail, then the fan speed will begin to operate from the supply sensor. If the supply air sensor fails, then the unit will default to 100% fan and cooling capacity. In the event of a unit to unit failure each unit will operate from its individual sensor network.
Application and Configuration of Rack Sensors

The inlet rack temperature sensors should be placed on a rack that is within the area of influence of the connected cooling unit. The following floor plan shows how the sensors should be placed. The sensors and units are color matched to show the location of each unit's sensors. This particular floor plan shows how the sensors can be interlaced with one another to provide redundancy of the different unit's sensors. Remember that the sensor data from each unit is shared at the teamwork level so placement of the sensors is flexible with your specific application. So even when one unit fails the other units are still able to react based on the failed units sensors. Each unit can connect up to 10 sensor modules with each module allowing for two temperature probes for a total of 20 temperature readings per cooling unit. Each of the two probes allows for 6 feet of distance between the temperature probe and the module. This provides the flexibility to either place both temperature sensor probes at the top of two different racks or to place one sensor probe in the middle of the rack and one at the upper two thirds of the rack. Sensors can be placed in other locations like the hot aisle but should be set as a reference sensor and not a controlling sensor. This will allow the sensor to be monitored by the Liebert iCOM display and building management system but will not affect unit operation. The rack sensors that are set to control have the flexibility to be set in different averaging schemes. There are three different levels of sensor calculations; at the sensor level, at the unit level and at the system level (unit to unit network). At the sensor level, the two probes on each rack sensor can be set to average or take the maximum value of the two sensors. The setting at the unit level allows the operator to select how many of the controlling sensors are averaged. If the unit has 10 rack sensors connected for control, the operator can elect to average 1 through 10 of the sensors. For example, selecting 3 sensors to average would use the 3 highest sensor readings out of the 10 possible sensors. Even though only three sensors are being used for the average, all 10 are being dynamically monitored with Liebert iCOMs rack sensor scanning routine. This means that the three highest sensors today might not be the three highest sensors tomorrow. The system level calculation provides the same level of flexibility as described above for the unit level sensor configuration. Providing this level of configuration at the unit and system level coupled with the rack sensor scanning allows the units and system to be setup for a variety of applications, including no containment, end containment and total containment. In addition it also allows Liebert iCOM to adjust airflow and cooling capacity as the environment changes or if the heat load shifts, increases or decreases.

DIP Switch Settings

The individual 2T rack sensor must be given a unique address on the CANbus cable run to the associated Liebert CW unit. DIP switches are used to give the 2T sensor its unique address. It is important to confirm that the DIP switches have been set correctly using the below table. Although it is not required, it is recommended that the DIP switch sensor number settings correspond to the number of 2T sensors on the CANbus run. For example, if there are only four 2T sensors used for a particular Liebert CW unit then the individual DIP switch settings should correspond to address #1, #2, #3 and #4. If the DIP switches are not set correctly, the control will not operate properly.

Install 2T Sensors on Racks to be Monitored

Both temperature sensors attached to a 2T sensor housing are to be installed on the same rack. The sensor can be attached to the inside or outside of the rack's front door. One temperature sensor is to be attached near the top of the rack's front door by using a cable tie to secure the wire to the perforation (approx. 12 inches from the top). Do not wrap a cable tie around the actual sensor on the end of the wire. This sensor will monitor for hot air wrapping over the top of the rack from the hot aisle. The other temperature sensor is to be attached to the racks front door, centered in front of the heat-generating equipment that will be drawing in air. If the rack is completely filled with equipment, attach the sensor to the middle of the door as determined by both width and height. If the rack is partially filled with equipment, locate the sensor in the center of the equipment on the front door. Do not: Install a sensor in the hot aisle. Leave a sensor coiled on top of or inside the rack. With the temperature sensors in place, neatly route the wires up the rack door and into the rack using the supplied cable ties. Be sure to leave an appropriate amount of slack in the cable to allow the rack door to open and close without binding or pinching the wires. Affix the 2T sensor housing to the rack using the supplied hook-and-loop fastener. It is recommended that the housing be installed in an easily accessible space with the sensor number label visible in case the housing needs accessed at a later time. Repeat this process until all sensors have been installed.

Install CANbus Cable Between 2T Sensors

The CANbus cable network requires the use of a ground wire. The grounds are connected at each 2T sensor, the rear of the front display and finally terminated to a field installed ground ring in the low voltage electrical panel. The pictures on the left below shows the connected grounds on a 2T sensor The center picture shows the rear of the front display with the factory installed CANbus cable between the display and main board replaced with a 6' grounded CANbus cable (Part #300157G1).

The factory installed CANbus cable from the rear of the display to the main board in the electrical panel does not included a ground feature and must be replaced with a 6' grounded CANbus cable (Part #300157G1). This installation will require four tie wraps to replace those cut during the removal of the factory-installed CANbus cable from the display to the main board. Ensure there is enough slack in the wire to allow the door to open and close freely, but not too much slack to bind or pinch when the door is shut.

Disconnect local and remote power supplies before working within. Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included and check the name microprocessor 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 of the Liebert iCOM control. The factory-supplied optional disconnect switch is inside the unit. The line side of this switch 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. Refer to the unit electrical schematic. Follow all local codes. After installation, the grounding ring (Part #300245G1) must be used to provide the final connection between the CANbus cable and the metal frame of the unit. The grounding ring can use the same screw location that the board grounding ring uses as shown in picture below. The panel comes terminated from the factory and must be unterminated to allow adding sensors. Connecting the CAN bus sensors will require working in the high voltage electrical compartment of the cooling unit. Figure 56 Install grounding ring connector

To prepare the Liebert iCOM for Liebert Smart Aisle Control: 1. Set Service Menu parameter S146 (VSD fan speed) to Auto. This sets the cold aisle sensor to control the fan speed. The cold aisle temperature setpoint can be set on parameter S102 (Temperature Setpoint). 2. Set Service Menu parameter S124 (supply sensor) to Cooling Only. This sets the supply sensor to control the chilled water valve. The discharge temperature setpoint can be set on parameter Service Menu S125 (Supply Setpoint).
4.3.9
StandbyRotation Typical Standby (Lead/Lag) Function

This function can be performed in any teamwork mode, including NO Teamwork. One or more units can be defined to be Standby; the normal status of standby units is Standby Off (fan off). In case one regular unit has an alarm that is defined (to be defined in the alarm configuration), to switch on a standby unit, the faulty unit will switch off and the standby unit will switch on. If the next unit has an alarm, the next standby unit will be started. If no more standby units are available, the unit with a non-critical alarm that permits unit operation will be switched on again (water detection, fan alarm, fire alarm etc. will not permit unit restarting). The standby function can be rotated daily (setting the time), weekly (setting the day of the week and time) or monthly (setting the first weekday of the month and time). The rotation is performed with a selectable number of units: if 1 is selected, to standby rotates from 1-2 to 2-3 in a 4 units configuration with two standby units, and rotates from 1-2 to 3-4 in the same configuration, when the rotation parameter is set to 2. NOTE Before entering standby mode, units will operate the fan only for 3 minutes to cool the electrical heaters, remove steam from the unit, etc.
Standby and Cascade

Cascade is possible in Teamwork Mode 1 only. The standby unit will remain on for the time set in the parameter. The default is 30 minutes; range is from 2 to 360 minutes. Standby units will start if an alarm occurs in one of the operational units. If the standby units are cascaded or in Teamwork Mode 3, they will also start and work with the regular operational units if the temperature or humidity cannot be controlled by the operational units; before a high or low temperature / humidity condition occurs. Cascaded units are switched off again as soon as the temperature / humidity returns back to normal. The master unit defines its proportional band according to the number of available units (see 4.2.3 Teamwork Mode 1). When a standby unit receives a request for full heating or cooling from the master unit (see 3.2.1 Temperature Proportional Band), it will respond to the request after its control delay. NOTE Cascaded units are not included in the calculation of the average temperature / humidity.

U2U Hardware: Cables and Network Switch

Plan wiring runs for U2U communication when designing the layout of your conditioned space. In addition to general good wiring practices, take into account: Ethernet CAT5 or greater cable is required for interconnecting the units. Maximum distance must not exceed 328 feet (100m). A device to boost the Ethernet signal may be used to exceed the 328 feet (100m) length limitation. Ethernet network should be privateset up only for management and control of the cooling units. Keep control and communication cables away from power cables to prevent electromagnetic interference. Do not bend cables to less than four times the diameter of the cable. Do not deform cables when securing in bundles or when hanging them. Keep cables away from devices that can introduce noise into them, such as machines, fluorescent lights, and electronics. Avoid stretching Ethernet cablestension when pulling cables should not exceed 25 pounds (11kg). Do not secure Ethernet cables with any method that might damage them; use approved hangers, such as telephone wire/RG-6 coaxial wire hangers, available at most hardware stores.

Liebert iCOM U2U Ethernet Network

The Liebert iCOM U2U network must be isolated from other network traffic. The network switch(es) that connect Liebert iCOMs need to be dedicated to supporting only Liebert iCOM communication. The U2U network cannot be connected to the building or IT network. If network communication is ever lost (failed network switch, etc.), all Liebert iCOM-controlled cooling units will continue to operate as independent units. The Liebert iCOM can support up to 64 nodes on one network. An input/output board, large display, and large wall-mount display are each considered one node. Of the 64 nodes that may be connected, no more than 32 may be input/output boards (32 cooling units). A small display is not considered a node. Small displays connect directly to input/output boards that do not have large displays attached to them. The following table illustrates how a network can be configured.

Three or more units with small displays: To network three or more cooling units, each equipped with a small display. Figure 61 shows that one plug of the CAT5 cable is connected to P64A connector and the other to the network switch. The P64A, which is connected to port P64 on the control board, is located near it on each cooling units Liebert iCOM input/output board to a common network switch. The P64A connector is a crossover coupler that on DS, CW and Challenger units. NOTE If P64A is not available on a unit, connect directly to the Liebert iCOM board on P64.
Large Displays
A network switch is required to enable Ethernet communication on one or more cooling units with large displays. Each cooling unit with a large display requires two straight-through Ethernet cables from a network switch. One cable connects to port P64 on the Liebert iCOM input/output board and the other straight-through cable connects to the female-female coupler, if the female-to-female coupler is provided with the unit. Connect the red crossover cable, which is provided with the cooling unit, between the coupler and the P64 port on the back of the large display (see Figure 62). If the female-to-female coupler is not provided, connect the straight-through cable to Port P64 on the large display. NOTE A female-to-female coupler is factory-supplied on some cooling units equipped with a large display.

Only large displays can be used for remotely monitoring and controlling cooling units connected on the same network. Each wall-mount large display requires 120VAC or 230VAC input power; Liebert provides an AC adapter wall plug. A straight-through Ethernet cable must be connected between the network switch and the P64 port on the back of the display. This will enable control and monitoring capabilities to any cooling unit connected to the network.
Combining Large and Small Displays on a U2U Network

Setting up a network of cooling units equipped with large and small displays requires a network switch. The controls are to be connected to the switch as described above. Figure 60 Wiring a small display for stand-alone operation

Liebert vNSA
The Liebert vNSA is designed to connect multiple Liebert iCOMs. The Liebert vNSA contains either one or two powered industrial rail switches. An optional remote large display can be attached to the front door as well. All models have a power supply that requires connection to a single phase 120VAC or 230VAC power source. The enclosure features a key lock for security. The Liebert vNSA supports autonegotiation, autopolarity and autocrossing, allowing for the use of standard network cables for connection to each port, rather than special crossover cables. The switch detects and makes adjustments for the network's speed and transmission mode, polarity and transmit-and-receive pins. See the Liebert vNSA user manual, SL-18840, for more details. The number of ports available for connecting Liebert iCOMs varies by model as shown in Table 15. Models with a remote large display attached to the front door utilize one of the available Ethernet ports in the Liebert vNSA. Models with two switches utilize two ports to connect the switches.

EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONBUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, LIEBERT SITESCAN

Liebert iCOM is capable of communicating with external monitoring systems, such as Building Management Systems (BMS), Network Monitoring Systems (NMS), Liebert's SiteScan Web system and others. Each Liebert iCOM-controlled cooling unit is equipped with Liebert IntelliSlot plug-in slots for use with optional communication cards: Ethernet Web/SNMP Card RS-485 Modbus Card The hot-swappable plug-in cards provide interfaces supporting open protocols, including Modbus, HTTP (Web) and SNMP. See the Liebert Web site for the latest supported protocols, Modbus reference information and SNMP MIBs: www.liebert.com Liebert iCOM software versions PA1.04.022.STD and older, which shipped before to November 2010, will support Velocity V3. The older Velocity V3 cards will become obsolete with the advent of the Velocity V4 protocol and the newer Liebert IntelliSlot cards that communicate with this protocol. The newer cards are compatible with the older Liebert IntelliSlot cards Modbus mapping and data. Table 16 Liebert IntelliSlot card compatibility

Terminals 77 and 78
Emerson has begun removing the IGMnet Terminals 77 and 78 from the Liebert DS, Liebert CW and Liebert Challenger 3000 product lines. These terminals have been offered in newer products to maintain connectivity with Liebert SiteLink units. This connection has been replaced by using an Intellislot card that will provide this connection in addition to providing isolation between the Liebert iCOM control and the external wiring to the Liebert SiteLink which did not exist with the 77/78 connection. To retain the communication capability to the Liebert SiteLink and Liebert SiteLink-E, a Liebert IntelliSlot SiteScan Protocol Extender Card (model number: IS-485EXI) is available. This card is available as a ship-loose item on the Liebert IntelliSlot Cards PartnerWeb order form. It will be added to cooling unit order forms in the future. If the Liebert IS-485EXI extender card is used with IGMnet from the Liebert iCOM, no other Liebert IntelliSlot cards can be used, however, if a Liebert SiteLink-E will be communicating with iCOM via the new Velocity V4 protocol then an additional Liebert IntelliSlot card can be used in conjunction with the Liebert SiteLink-E: Liebert IntelliSlot 485 Card: IS-485L Liebert IntelliSlot Web Card: IS-WEBL Liebert IntelliSlot Web / Modbus IP / BACnet IP / BACnet IP Card: IS-IPBML If all units in a installation must be identical and the user does not want to utilize the Liebert IS-485EXI isolation card the 77/78 connection can be obtained from Liebert.

Temperature SetpointSelects a temperature that the cooling unit will maintain by applying cooling and or reheats. There are two values in this field. The Temp Set value is the temperature that has been set by the user to control the temperature. The Temp Act value is a read only value that indicates if another routine, like supply compensation has internally modified the Temp controlling value. If compensation has not been activated, then ACT and SET will always match. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The factory default value for Supply is 64F. The factory default value for Return & Remote=73F. Temperature Control SensorSelects which sensor will control the cooling capacity. Cooling capacity is either the Chilled Water Valve, Compressor, FreeCooling Valve or Air Economizer. Unloading type compressors can be set to any sensor type, however fixed style compressors can only be set to Return or Remote control type l. This parameter can only be changed in the service menu. The range should be Supply, Return or Remote Sensor. The factory default setting is Return. Humidity SetpointSelects a humidity that the cooling unit will maintain by removing or adding moisture to the air. The humidity setpoint will either be set in percent RH or as a Dew Point Value depending on what the humidity control type is set for. This parameter is adjustable from 20-80%. The factory default setting is 50%. Humidity Control SensorDefines which humidity value the humidity setpoint is compared with. The return sensor is equipped with a Temp / Hum sensor and can calculate the dew point based on iCOM's internal lookup table. If a sensor other than the return sensor is selected, then iCOM will calculate the correct RH% based on the sensor selected and its actual temperature. The range is Remote or Return Sensor. The factory default setting is Return Sensor. Humidity Control TypeSelects the humidity control calculation. Setting this parameter to Relative will control the humidity without considering any temperature deviations. Predictive and Absolute control consider the temperature deviation from temperature setpoint so that a constant level of moisture is kept in the area based on the humidity sensor reading and the temperature deviation from setpoint. Dew Point allows Liebert iCOM to calculate the actual dew point of the room and to control the humidity based on a user-entered dew point temperature. The range is Relative, Absolute, Predictive and Dew Point. The factory default setting is Predictive. Fan SetpointNeeded anytime the fan operates from a different sensor than the temperature setpoint. Example: The temperature setpoint is set to Supply Air and the fan control is set to Remote Sensor. This is considered Smart Aisle control, which decouples the fan and cooling capacity modulation. In the above example, this value would set the remote sensor setpoint to control the fan speed. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The factory default setting is 73F. Fan Control SensorDetermines the sensor which will control the speed of the fan. This parameter works in conjunction with the Fan Control Setpoint. The Liebert iCOM control also has the ability to control the fan speed manually. This means that the fan control can be set through the local Liebert iCOM display or via a building management system through one of the various Liebert IntelliSlot monitoring cards. The range is Supply, Return, Remote or Manual. The factory default setting is Return Sensor. Smart Aisle EnabledThis read only value indicates if the Liebert iCOM controller is setup in a Smart Aisle configuration. To enable smart aisle within Liebert iCOM, the Supply Air sensor must be set to control the cooling capacity and the remote sensor must be set to control the fan speed. This allows the cooling unit to maintain inlet rack temperatures while still maintaining an even underfloor air temperature when controlling unbalanced rooms. Smart Aisle will automatically adjust based on the application (None, End or Full Containment).

Figure 67 Setpoints screen, page 2
2nd Temperature SetpointAllows for a dry contact through the customer inputs connections. When a customer input connection is set to 2nd Temperature Setpoint and the input is wired to that input is triggered, then the value set in this parameter sets the active temperature setpoint. This parameter is adjustable from 41F to 81F. The factory default setting is 41F. If the unit is operating in De-Coupled mode, then this setpoint will only affect the temperature control setpoint; it will not affect the fan control setpoint. Supply Temp Limit SetpointSelects the minimum discharge air temperature. When the actual sensor reading approaches this parameter, the cooling capacity will be limited to avoid going below the Supply Limit Temperature value. This parameter must be enabled in the Service / Setpoints menu prior to setting a supply limit setpoint. This parameter is adjustable from 41F to 81F. The factory default setting is 41F. Supply Temp Limit SetpointSelects the discharge air setpoint (see 3.8 - Supply Control). This parameter allows you to select a temperature setpoint that will be activated in the event of a BMS timeout. When a BMS timeout occurs, this parameter will be set as the active temperature control setpoint. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The factory default setting is 73F (23C). If the unit is operating in De-Coupled mode, then this setpoint will only affect the temperature control setpoint; it will not affect the fan control setpoint. BMS Backup Temp SetpointSelects a temperature setpoint that will be activated in the event of a BMS time-out or a customer input signal. The BMS timer and/or the customer input must be configured for this parameter to activate. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The default setting from the factory is 73F (23C). If the unit is operating in De-Coupled mode, then this setpoint will only affect the temperature control setpoint; it will not affect the fan control setpoint. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The factory default setting is 73F (23C). BMS Backup Fan SetpointSelects a temperature setpoint when backup fans will be activated in the event of a BMS time-out or a customer input signal. The BMS timer and/or the customer input must be configured for this parameter to activate. If the unit is operating in De-Coupled mode, then this setpoint will only affect the temperature control setpoint; it will not affect the fan control setpoint. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The factory default setting is 73F (23C). Return Compensation SetpointAllows the return air sensor to be used even when in Supply or Remote temperature control mode. Return Compensation modifies the temperature setpoint to ensure that the return air temperature is kept above a specific temperature. If the return compensation value is set to 80F and the actual return temp falls to 75F, then the controlling temperature setpoint will be increased and will reflect in the Control Temp Act. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104F (5-40C). The factory default setting is 73F (23C).

The Temp Act value is a read only value that indicates if another routine, like supply compensation has internally modified the Temp controlling value. If compensation has not been activated, then the ACT and SET will always match. This parameter is adjustable from 41104F (5-40C). The default set value for Supply is 64F. The default set value for Return and Remote is 73F. Temperature Proportional /IntegralAdjusts the activation points of compressors or rate of change based on the actual sensor values deviation from setpoint. The smaller this number the faster the compressors and valve(s) will increase capacity. Too small of a number may cause the unit to short cycle the compressors or excessively reposition the valve. Temperature Integration TimeAdjusts the capacity of the unit based on time away from setpoint so that accurate temperature control can be maintained. The proportional and integral work together to maintain setpoint. Large P-Band with Small I-Time is typical when controlling to supply air. AutoSet EnableSets the temperature and humidity proportional bands automatically based on the type of unit when this parameter is set to YES and if teamwork modes are selected. To change the proportional bands, this parameter must be set to NO. If supply or remote sensors are used, then this value is always set to "No". Temperature DeadbandAvoids overshooting of the setpoint and cycling between the reheats and cooling. The value entered in this field will be split in half by the temperature setpoint. Example: If the temperature setpoint is 70F (21.1C) and a 4F (2.2C) deadband is set, then no cooling will be activated until 72F (22.2C) and no heating will be activated until 68F (20C) is reached. Supply Limit Enabled/SetpointChilled water units may be set up with the supply air sensor to maintain a minimum air temperature under a raised floor to help prevent condensation. In order to avoid supply temperatures that are too low, the Supply Limit can influence the opening of three-point or analog actuators or the output of analog valves. The control compares the deviation from the return air setpoint and the supply limit setpoint, and calculates the output to the actuator from thesmaller deviation. Heaters DeadbandChanges the amount of deviation below the temperature setpoint that the heaters will cycle On and Off on Liebert HPM units. This value is added to the heating side of the normal temperature deadband.
101
Enable Temp CompensationTemperature compensation allows for a second or even a third sensor to be used that will influence the units cooling or heating. Return compensation can be used when the supply or remote sensors are being used for control. Then the return sensor is then monitored to maintain a minimum return temperature. Supply compensation can only be used when Smart Aisle is enabled. The supply sensor will not only be used for controlling cooling capacity but will also monitor the cold aisle temp to ensure that the cold aisle temperature setpoint is met. Return Compensation SetpointThe temperature setpoint where compensation begins to operate by increasing the supply air setpoint. Return Compensation Band/ValueThe return compensation band / value will determine how quickly the cooling capacity is adjusted as the return temperature drops below the return compensation setpoint. Supply Compensation ValueThe Supply Compensation value determines how much the supply temperature setpoint will be reduced when the units fan speed is at 100% and the cold aisle is not able to maintain temperature setpoint. Any modifications to the supply temperature setpoint will be shown at the temperature setpoint on parameter S103 as the actual active control point. Comp Cap Filter at 0-100%Controls the rate of change during comp load changes to avoid overshoots. The filter value depends on the current control deviation from the setpoint. On the setpoint (at 0%), its typically set lower (slow), and at the end of the P-band (at 100%) its typically sethigher (faster). The value is given in % control output change per second. Capacity Transition FilterThis parameter should only be adjusted by a factory-service trained technician. The transition capacity filter controls how quickly the capacity changes between different modes of operation. This filter helps with the transition to avoid overshoot. CW Cap Filter at 0 - 100% The CW Filter at 0% / 100% Controls the rate of change during a valve position adjustment to avoid overshoots. The filter value depends on the current control deviation from the setpoint. On the setpoint (at 0%), its typically set lower (slow), and at the end of the P-band (at 100%) its typically sethigher (faster). The value is given in % control output change per second. BMS Backup Temp SetpointSelects a temperature setpoint that will be activated in the event of a BMS Timeout. The BMS timer must be configured for this parameter to activate. 2nd Temperature SetpointSelects a temperature setpoint that will be activated in the event of a customer input signal configured as the second setpoint. The customer input must be configured for this parameter to activate.

NOTE When the unit is in relative humidity control, only the right side of the menu is displayed and dew point will display the left side of the menu. Humidity Control SensorDefines which humidity value the humidity setpoint is compared with. The return sensor is equipped with a Temp / Hum sensor and can calculate the dew point based on iCOM's internal lookup table. If a sensor other than the return sensor is selected, then Liebert iCOM will calculate the corresponding RH% based on that sensors actual temperature. The Range is Remote or Return Sensor. The factory default setting is Return Sensor. Humidity SetpointSelects a humidity that the cooling unit will maintain by removing or adding moisture to the air. The humidity setpoint will either be set in percent RH or as a Dew Point Value depending on what the humidity control type is set for. This parameter is adjustable from 20-80%. The factory default setting is 50%. Humidity Control TypeSelects the humidity control calculation. Setting this parameter to Relative will control the humidity without considering any temperature deviations. Predictive and Absolute control consider the temperature deviation from temperature setpoint so that a constant level of moisture is kept in the area based on the humidity sensor reading and the temperature deviation from setpoint. The factory default setting is Predictive (see 3.7.2 - Humidity Sensor Reading Control Types). Humidity Proportional BandAdjusts the activation points of the humidifier and compressors based on the actual sensor values deviation from setpoint. The smaller this number, the faster the compressors and humidifier will increase capacity. Too small of a number may cause the unit to short cycle or overshoot setpoint. Humidity Integration TimeAdjusts the capacity of the unit based on time away from setpoint so that accurate humidity control can be maintained. If the integration time is set to 0, the humidity control operates as a proportional only control. When an integration time is set, the control mode changes to PI control. Humidity DeadbandPrevents overshooting of the setpoint and cycling between humidification and dehumidification. The value entered in this field will be split in half by the temperature setpoint. Dehum Temp SetpointAllows for a target temperature setpoint to be activated when a call for dehumidification is enabled instead of the traditional method of overcooling the space by increasing cooling to 100% and lowering fan speed if equipped. Must be in supply air control mode.
103
When a call for dehum is active the supply or remote sensor setpoint will be lowered to this parameter. This parameter should be set below the accepted dewpoint threshold of your space. Used only when supply dehum is enabled. Dehum Setpoint Adjust/FilterSets the amount that the Dehum Temp Setpoint is adjusted when the reheats activate. Example: If the unit is equipped with a reheat device, this parameter will increase the dehum temperature as the call for reheats are increased until the reheat call is at 100%. When the reheats are at 100%, the full Dehum Setpoint Adjustment will be applied. Dehum Reheat/LL Sensor/SetSets the sensor and temperature start point that the reheat will be deactivated and dehum will be stopped due to overcooling the space in a call for dehum. Dehum Low Limit 1 LL1/LL2Dehum Low Limit 1; Dehum Low Limit 2. Dehum Reheat Prop Band2Sets the reheat proportional band for reheat operation independently of the temperature proportional band. This parameter can be used to activate the reheats at different points below the temperature setpoint. Estimated Aisle TempSets an estimated cold aisle temperature when humidity control sensor is set to remote and no remote temp sensors are installed at the unit. This estimated temperature will be used to determine the humidity versus using an actual temperature in the cold aisle that may fluctuate during modes of dehumidification or load changes of the IT equipment. This provides a stable control point to reference the actual measured dewpoint from the return sensor. Figure 84 Setpoints screen, page 4 of 8
DT1 (Room/Outdoor) TypeUsed for HPM units. DT1 (Room/Outdoor) ValueUsed for HPM units. DT2 (Room/FC Fluid) TypeDetermines the method to activate the water circuit on Dual-Cool and free cool units. It can be set to CONTACT which uses a dry contact to activate the freecooling circuit OR can be set to TEMP which uses a sensor reading that can then be compared to the return temp to see if any freecooling can be realized. This parameter can also be configured for SET which compares the temperature SET in relationship to the freecooling sensor to determine freecooling availability.
104
DT2 (Room/FC Fluid) ValueSets the delta between the actual temperature and fluid temperature that must be met before freecooling will occur. Example: Actual Temperature = 75F Freecooling Temperature = 70F DT2 Value = 4 Since the difference between the freecooling fluid and the actual temperature is 5F and the DT2 value is set to 4F, then freecooling would be utilized. Minimum CW TempEnables the temperature at which free-cooling can operate independently without assistance of the compressor circuit(s). Minimum CW Temp ValueSets the water temperature at which 100% free-cooling can be provided to handle the full room load. When the fluid temperature is below this setting, then the compressors will no longer turn on until the water temperature is above the minimum CW Temp. Lockout FC at FC Fluid belowPrevents frost from building up on the free-cooling pipes when the outdoor ambient is extremely low by turning off the free-cooling circuit when the water temperature is too low.
105
Fan Control SensorControls the fan speed for modulation. Options for this setting are Supply, Return, Remote, and Manual Mode. If manual mode is selected, then the fan speed can be controlled from the local display or through a building management system. Fan SetpointActivated when a temperature sensor is being used to control the fan speed. If the same sensor is used for temperature control and fan speed control, then this value will reflect the same setpoint as the temperature control setpoint. Manual mode uses the Fan Speed STD for control. Fan Temp Control TypeSets the type of control the unit will use to control fan speed. PI controls gain is set in the Temp Prop / Integral parameter. PI control will operate the fan speed so that the actual temperature of the fan control sensor is equal to the fan temp setpoint. If proportional only is selected, the fan will change "ONLY" based on the deviation from setpoint which will allow the actual temp to settle higher than setpoint. Fan Temp Prop/IntegralAdjusts the fan speeds rate of change based on the actual sensor values deviation from setpoint. The smaller this number, the faster the fans will increase speed. Too small of a number may cause the fans to increase decrease and overshoot setpoint. Temperature Integration TimeAdjusts the fans of the unit based on time away from setpoint so that accurate temperature control can be maintained. The proportional and integral work together to maintain setpoint. Large P-Band with Small I-Time is typical to achieve a stable control. Fan DeadbandAvoids overshooting of the setpoint. The value entered in this field will be split in half by the fan speed setpoint. Airflow CalibrationAllows the front display to be scaled to show the actual percentage of airflow independent of the voltage operating the fan speed. This value cannot be set above the Analog Output High Limit or below the Analog Low Limit for the fan set in the Advanced Menu. This also includes the service menu fan speed parameters. Fanspeed Min/STDSets the range for the variable fans. Min sets the minimum speed that the fan will operate at. Fan speed is modulated between the MIN and STD based on which sensor is set to control, setpoint and the PI settings. If the controlling sensor is set to manual, then the STD setting will control the current fan speed. This parameter is also adjustable through the BMS. Fanspeed Dehum/No PowerSets the fan speed when a call for dehumidification is active. This allows the units fan speed to be ramped lower to help with any overcooling due to the dehumidification process. This also allows the coil to remove additional moisture even faster.
106
Allow Fan Modulation on CompProvides the option to set the fan to fixed speed if unit is equipped with compressors. Once this parameter is set at the local display, it must be removed at the local display to re-engage fan speed control. High Return Limit EnableSets a control point that will increase the fanspeed if the return temperature exceeds the limit set in the High Return Temperature Limit parameter. If set to DISABLED, no limit will be applied to the return air temperature. If set to LOCAL, then only the local units return temperature will be monitored for applying the limit. If set to TEAM, then the highest networked unit return temperature will activate the limit on all connected units. High Return Temperature LimitSets the temperature limit that will increase the fan speed to decrease the return temperature. Some compressors may require this limit to prevent extremely high return temperatures that could potentially cause degradation of the compressor oil, that could decrease the overall compressor life expectancy. Return Limit P-BandSets the rate of fanspeed increase as the actual return temperature approaches the limit set in the High Return Temperature Limit parameter.
107
Fanspeed Filter at 0-100%This parameter should only be adjusted by a factory service trained technician. Fan Cap Filter at 0% / 100% controls the rate of change during fan speed changes to avoid overshoots. The filter value depends on the current control deviation from the setpoint. On the setpoint (at 0%), its typically set lower (slow), and at the end of the P-band (at 100%) its typically set higher (faster). The value is given in % control output change per second. This parameter sets the rate of change based on where actual temp is when compared to setpoint. Fanspeed Transition FilterThis parameter should only be adjusted by a factory service trained technician. The transition fan speed filter controls how quickly the fan speed changes between different modes of operation. For example, if the fans are operating based on a call for reheat which is normally 100% fan speed and the reheats are turned off or no longer needed then the fan speed would instantly change if this filter is not applied, which may cause instability in the fan speed control. This filter helps with the transition to avoid overshoot. Fanspeed Reposition Mode/Delay Decel/This parameter should only be adjusted by a factory service trained technician. The fan speed reposition mode / delay is a one time delay as the fan speed is requested to change direction. This delay will be applied only when the fan speed is commanded from an increasing to decreasing state or a decreasing to increasing state. This allows the fan to hold its current position while the temperature stabilizes. Max DecelerationRateThis parameter should only be adjusted by a factory service trained technician. Only slows the decreasing of the variable fan speed. The control will use the slower of this parameter and the fan speed filter. BMS Backup Fan SetpointSelects a fan speed setpoint that will be activated in the event of a BMS Timeout. The BMS timer must be configured for this parameter to activate. BMS Backup Fan OperationSets the default operation for the fan speed control when a BMS Timeout occurs. Default is disabled which will keep the fan speed at the last value before the disconnect occurred. STD speed will ramp the fan to the STD speed setting. This will drive the fan speed to its maximum speed. The control will use the slower of this Coupled will set the fan speed to follow the cooling capacity. Backup Set will use the BMS Backup setpoint to drive fan speed. Allow BMS to change FanspeedEnables or disables BMS fan speed control. When this parameter is disabled, the BMW will not have write capability to this point. EC-Fan ModeAvailable for HPM only.
108
Fan Back Draft ControlEnables or disables the Back Draft fan control. This feature allows EC Fans (only) to operate at very low speeds to prevent airflow from cycling through the unit due to a higher underfloor static pressure than the above floor static pressure. VFD's cannot be used with this feature due to motor and or bearing degradation that may occur at the low fan speeds required to support this feature. VSD Setpoint BACK DRAFTThe variable speed device setpoint is set as a voltage reference. The lower the voltage, the slower the fans will spin. This parameter is set based on the application. Higher underfloor static pressure may require a higher setting to prevent air flow through the unit. Not Selectable Zone 1The not selectable zone 1 and 2 are zones that the EC fans cannot operate within due to vibration harmonics that the fans may introduce to the unit. These parameters will be set from the factory based on model type and should not need adjusted in the field. Not Selectable Zone 2The not selectable zone 1 and 2 are zones that the EC fans cannot operate within due to vibration harmonics that the fans may apply to the units frame. These parameters will be set from the factory based on model type and should not need adjusted in the field. Stop BDR when System is OffThe above is true when S173 Stop BDR when System is Off is set to Yes. If _S173 is set to No the BDR mode will not be interrupted, unless BDR is disabled or the unit is restarted. Remote Off and BDRWhen the back draft damper is enabled, different modes can activate this feature. Remote Off, Display Off, BMS Off and Local Off can all be set to activate the back draft damper operation.

SCR Control TypeSets the control type for the SCR reheats. If set to Standard, then the reheats will modulate when the temperature is below setpoint based on the control settings. If this parameter is set to Tight control, then one compressor will be locked on and the reheats will modulate to offset the cooling capacity. Fanspeed Transition FilterControls how quickly the fan speed changes between different modes of operation. Example: If the fans are operating based on a call for reheat which is normally 100% fan speed and the reheats are turned off or no longer needed, then the fan speed would instantly change if this filter is not applied, which may cause instability in the fan speed control. This filter helps with the transition to avoid overshoot. This parameter should only be adjusted by a factory service trained technician. Start 1st Compressor AtSets the activation point of the compressor. This parameter can be used when set to Tight control. Stop 1st Compressor AtSets the deactivation point of the compressor. This parameter can be used when set to Tight control. 1st Compressor Stop DelaySets the delay when the stop compressor setpoint for the first compressor is met. Start 2nd Compressor AtSets the activation point of the second compressor. This parameter can be used when set to Tight control. Stop 2nd Compressor AtSets the deactivation point of the second compressor. This parameter can be used when set to Tight control. 2nd Compressor Stop DelaySets the delay when the stop compressor setpoint for the second compressor is met.

Valve ControlControls the 3P valve(s). Control can be by either of two methods: A time-driven signal that uses a 3P valves travel time and the time that an open or closed output is provided to a 3P valve to estimate its current position. A feedback signal from the valve that is required for Supply Air Control. The feedback signal constantly provides the Liebert iCOM with the valves position, eliminating the need to reset the valve(s) on a loss of power and provides a valve failure detection. Start Valve CalibrationChanging this value to Yes starts the valve calibration procedure. During this procedure, the valve is positioned to a fully closed and fully opened state while the feedback signal is monitored. The control then automatically saves the feedback signal voltage at the two end points as its calibration reference during normal operation. Calibration StatusShows whether the calibration has been started: idle indicates calibration has not begun; ongoing indicates calibration has begun. When calibration has been completed, the status will return to idle. V1: 0% open = Feedback voltage recorded when the valve is positioned at 0% during the calibration.

Enable EconomizerSets the Liebert Air Economizer operation to one of the following modes. These selections only determine if the Liebert Air Economizer is available for use; they do not determine or override damper position. Damper position is always controlled by the sensor set to control temperature (i.e., Return / Supply Sensor) Yes: This parameter will operate the Liebert Air Economizer based on the outdoor sensor reading and will allow the Liebert iCOM to determine if the conditions are within the acceptable range of operation. NO: This parameter will disable the Liebert Air Economizer and will not allow Liebert Air Economizer to operate even if the outdoor conditions are acceptable. Remote: This parameter will enable the Liebert Air Economizer and ignore the outdoor Liebert iCOM sensor even if the conditions are outside the range of operation. Humidity RatioSets the minimum and maximum limits of outdoor air based on the amount of moisture content. The humidity ratio is set based on pounds of moisture per pound of dry air. This is equivalent to the dew point temperatures.
133
Wet Bulb TemperatureRead-only value that displays the outdoor wet bulb temperature. (This reading will be in metric values.) Outdoor TemperatureDisplays the actual outdoor temperature based on the Temperature Humidity sensor (Sensor C). When this parameter shows OK, the outdoor temperature requirements have been met to use economization. When NOK is shown, the outdoor temperature is outside the operating range set in the Liebert iCOM control. Stop ECO at Setpoint + Sets the temperature when the Liebert Air Economizer will be disabled due to an increasing outdoor air temperature. This parameter is added to the return air sensor setpoint and then compared to the outdoor temperature reading.

Humidification EnabledEnables or disables humidification. Infrared Flush RateShows the amount of makeup water supplied to an infrared humidifier as a percentage of the humidifier capacity. This value can be set from 110-500% (default is 150%). Higher flush rates reduce mineral deposit buildup in the humidifier pan. Humidifier Steam Rate (Liebert HPM and Liebert PeX only)Reduces humidifier capacity to be a percentage of nominal humidifier capacity on units with variable capacity steam bottle humidifiers. Humidifier ControlUsed for Liebert HPM and Liebert PeX units only. Humidifier Bottle Flush TimeUsed for Liebert HPM and Liebert PeX units only. Humidifier Bottle Manual FlushUsed for Liebert HPM and Liebert PeX units only. Dehum Enabled/Dehum Fan CtrlSelects whether the compressor and / or valve will be used to dehumidify when the humidity is above setpoint. Auto Restart EnabledRestarts the unit after a power cycle when set to Yes. When this parameter is set to No, the unit will not restart (Turn On) after a power cycle. Single Unit Auto RestartSets a time delay for the unit to restart when the Auto Restart Enabled is set to Yes. The delay begins once the boot process has completed. This parameter allows units to be staggered On to reduce the amount of simultaneous power consumption after a loss of power. On-Off EnabledSets the Liebert iCOM control to ignore the On/Off command from the display On/Off button when set to NO. This parameter is a local setting in the control board.

CW FlushSelects the number of hours between each chill water coil flush cycle. The default is every 24 hours. Reducing this number will increase the number of coil flushes. Freecooling FlushSelects how many hours between each free-cooling coil flush cycle. The default is every 24 hours. Reducing this number will increase the number of coil flushes. Hot Water FlushSelects how many hours between each hot water coil flush cycle. The default is every 24 hours. Reducing this number will increase the number of coil flushes. Ball Valve Setpoint OffsetAdjusts the operating compressor discharge pressure by changing the targeted range of control for units with motorized ball valves. Heaters Outputs as (Liebert HPM only)Activates the heater digital output based on the selected event on units with no heaters. CW Valve ControlAllows the valves to be set to operate in parallel, alternate or cascade for units equipped with dual motorized ball valves controlling flow to the chilled water coil. Parallel is the default selection and operates the valves at the same opening based on the call for cooling. Main ValveSelects which valve is the lead valve if CW Valve Control is set for Alternate or Cascade. Auto Valve RotationAllows the valves to be rotated based on the Valve Rotation Hour if CW Valve Control is set for Alternate or Cascade. Valve Rotation HourDetermines the time between the valve rotations if Auto Valve Rotation is enabled. Dehum OperationSelects the dehumidification operation of the valves for units equipped with dual motorized ball valves controlling flow to the chilled water coil.
141
Measure TypeDetermines the measurement units and allowable range for each analog input. Factory Std measurement type means the input is being used by the PA program for unit control and cannot be set to any other measurement type. Not Config measurement type means the input is available for custom sensor use, but has not been configured. After unit code execution, all analog inputs that are available will be set to Not Config, and can then be set to any of the following choices by the user: Air Pres 1, 2, 3 or 4 Pressure 1, 2, 3 or 4 Temp 1, 2, 3 or 4 Percent 1, 2, 3 or 4 It is not necessary to match a measurement type number to the analog input number (i.e., Air Pres 2 does not have to be connected to Analog Input 2). The numeric designation on each measurement type is just to allow the user to differentiate between readouts if multiple measurements of the same type are required. PrecisionParameters in the Precision column must match the DIP switch settings for each analog input being used. There are two choices for these parameters: 0-5V and 0-10V. This setting will also regulate the range of an analog inputs linear characteristic on Page 5 of the Options Setup screen of the Service Menu (see Figure 135). Line S441Determines the unit type (English or SI) that will be used for the setup and readout of custom sensors. This parameter affects only analog inputs. All lines in other menus involving pressures or temperatures will have their readout type determined by line U404 of the User Selection menu. The table below shows the English and SI units for each measurement type.
Measurement Type Air Pres Pressure Temp Percent Units English inWC PSI F % SI Pa Bar C %
When the unit type is changed on line S441, the linear characteristics for all of the inputs on Page 5 of the Options Setup screen of the Service Menu will be converted to match the new units system, and the readout in the Sensor Data in the User Menu will also change to reflect the new units.
142
Only characteristics for analog inputs used for custom sensors are visible in this menu. Start Points (S446, S448, S450 and S452)Represent the starting point of each analog inputs linear characteristic. The column on the left indicates the desired readout at the lowest allowable sensor voltage, and the column on the right indicates the lowest sensor voltage. End Points (S447, S449, S451 and S453Represent the finish point of each analog inputs linear characteristic. The column on the left indicates the desired readout at the highest allowable sensor voltage, and the column on the right indicates the highest sensor voltage. The range of allowable voltages is dictated by the Precision selection for that analog output on Page 4 of the Options Setup screen of the Service Menu (see Figure 134). If the precision of Analog Input 1 is set to 0-5V on line S436, the voltage selection on line S447 will not be allowed to go above 5.0V. The range of the readout start/finish points is dictated by the units system selection on line S441. The range for each is shown in the table below.
Measurement Type Air Pres Pressure Temp Percent Units English -1.25 to 1.25 inWC -320.00 to 320.00 PSI -320.00 to 320.00 F -320.00 to 320.00% SI -320.00 to 320.00 Pa -22.00 to 22.00 Bar -160.00 to 160.00 C -320.00 to 320.00%
