    NTRODUCTION The Liebert Liqui-tect Monitoring System is the ultimate in leak detection and retrofitting capabili- ties for computer rooms and other large areas. The Liqui-tect Monitoring System provides direct-read at the control unit location, as well as the ability to communicate with the Liebert SiteScan Web enterprise monitoring system or a building management system.
  • Page 6: Outside Enclosure Overview

    Outside Enclosure Overview The enclosure for the Liqui-tect panel’s controller board comes in two sizes: • The large enclosure is designed to accommodate the Transformer Module and future compo- nents, in addition to the controller board. • The small enclosure is built to hold the controller board only. Both enclosures are 2-3/4"...
  • Page 7: Typical Sequence

    Typical Sequence Figure 3 shows a typical sequence of how the Liqui-tect Monitoring System functions after detecting a leak, contamination or cable break in either Zone 1 or Zone 2. Responses depend on configuration settings. This example shows what happens when a leak is detected. Figure 3 Example of typical sequence: Analog input reaches high setpoint RESPONSES TO AN ALARM...
  • Page 8: Controller Board Overview

    Controller Board Overview The Liqui-tect panel’s controller board, as shown below, has connectors for two digital outputs for leak detection alarms, two digital outputs for cable break alarms, two inputs for leak detection cables and two analog outputs for connecting to a building management system. The board comes complete with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display the status of monitored zones, power connections and other features necessary to monitor and protect your operation.

  • Page 11: Installation Considerations

    NSTALLATION Installation Considerations The Liqui-tect panel must be installed indoors and may be mounted on the surface of a wall or flush- mounted, depending on the user’s application and the type of wall the unit will be mounted on. The unit’s location must meet the following criteria: •...
  • Page 12: Surface-Mounting The Liqui-Tect Panel

    Surface-Mounting the Liqui-tect Panel NOTE Removing the conduit knockouts before mounting the Liqui-tect panel on the wall will ease installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted. After determining where to place the unit, check to ensure that you have all the hardware required to install the panel on the surface of a wall.
  • Page 13: Flush-Mounting The Liqui-Tect Panel

    Flush-Mounting the Liqui-tect Panel NOTE Removing the conduit knockouts before mounting the Liqui-tect panel on the wall will ease installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted. The rectangular access doors on the top and bottom of the Liqui-tect panel must be removed from the outside of the panel and reinstalled on the inside of the panel.
  • Page 14: Connect Power To The Liqui-Tect Panel

    Connect Power to the Liqui-tect Panel The Liqui-tect panel requires 24VAC for proper operation. Liebert recommends using the optional Transformer Module manufactured by Liebert or another UL-approved Class 2 power unit to obtain proper voltage. If the power unit is not a Class 2 circuit, it must be protected with an IEC 5 x 20mm time lag 2A fuse.
  • Page 15: Input And Output Power Connections - Large Enclosure

    2.4.2 Input and Output Power Connections - Large Enclosure CAUTION The 115VAC/230VAC Transformer Module must be connected to a branch circuit with 15A branch circuit protection. This equipment is intended to be installed by a qualified and certified electrician who must review and approve customer supplied wiring and circuit breakers, verify correct input and grounded connections to ensure compliance with the technical standards and national and local electrical codes.
  • Page 16: Connections And Configuration

    ONNECTIONS AND CAUTION Be sure that the power wiring is disconnected from the Liqui-tect panel before installing any wiring to this unit or changing input or output connections. Input and output connections to the Liqui-tect panel may be made in any order—it is not necessary, for example, to make all input connections before making any output connections.
  • Page 17: Connecting Leak Detection Cable Inputs

    Connecting Leak Detection Cable Inputs The leak detection cable inputs are found on the lower right side of the Liqui-tect panel’s printed wir- ing assembly board. There are two terminal blocks for the inputs; the lower terminal block is for the Zone 1 cable and the terminal block above it is for a second leak detection cable, Zone 2.
  • Page 18: Connecting Leak Detection Cable To The Connection Cable

    3.1.2 Connecting Leak Detection Cable to the Connection Cable The connection cable has a black fitting on one end that will fasten securely to the fitting on one end of the leak detection cable—see Figure 8. Push these ends together, being careful to insert the pro- truding ends of the leak detection cable into the holes in the connection cable connector.

    3. Once the cable passes the test, lay it in the pattern desired. Pay special attention to the following cable placement precautions. DETECTION CABLE PLACEMENT PRECAUTIONS • Do not use detection cable that is damaged or dirty—for example, from plaster, spackle or debris. •...
  • Page 20: Connecting Alarm Outputs

    Connecting Alarm Outputs The Zone 1 and Zone 2 alarm outputs, found in the top right corner of the Liqui-tect panel, provide a contact output for a leak and a cable break for each zone. As an example, the outputs may provide alarms to an auxiliary alarm panel or building management sys- tem.
  • Page 21: Rs422 Sitescan Web Connector

    RS422 SiteScan Web Connector The Liqui-tect panel will interface with Liebert’s SiteScan Web enterprise monitoring system. SiteScan can be used to monitor the Liqui-tect panel from a host computer and silence the audible alarm. The terminal block connector, TB8, is on the bottom edge of the board, near the left corner. To connect the SiteScan Web to the Liqui-tect panel: 1.

  • Page 30: Identify The Zone As Connected

    6.3.1 Identify the Zone as Connected To make use of the zone ZN1, you must specify it as Connected (Y). By default, ZN1 is Not connected (N). See 3.1 - Connecting Leak Detec- tion Cable Inputs for instructions on connecting the cable to this zone.
  • Page 31: Auto Calibration

    6.3.4 Auto Calibration The auto calibration feature is designed to allow compensation for the resistance tolerances in the two legs of the sensing wires. As soon as cable is connected, the panel begins calculating the cable length. Initiating the auto calibration feature allows the user to mod- ify the distance to account for any discrepancies.
  • Page 32: Set Up Sensitivity For Contamination Detection

    6.3.6 Set Up Sensitivity for Contamination Detection Each zone may be set up with a sensitivity level at which contamina- tion on the cable is detected. Examples are construction debris and dust. • The most sensitive setting is 20 µA—light contamination will trig- ger an alarm.
  • Page 33: Setup System - Setup Zn2 Zone 2

    Setup System - Setup ZN2 Zone 2 NOTE The setup options are identical for both zones, except the name of the zone differs. The Liqui-tect panel has two independent zones—ZN1 and ZN2—that may be configured individually. Each zone can monitor up to 5,000 ft. (1524m) of leak detection cable.
