VARISTAR LHX 20 Device description Cooling module 60714-050 2.2 How the cooling system works The cooling system consists of an air loop and a water loop. The fans of the cooling unit draw warm air from the rear section of the cabinet and into an air/water heat exchanger.
Note: The control valve is in fact a three-way valve that functions as a straight- way valve since the bypass has been factory sealed. If required, the cover seal can be removed by Schroff Service to provide three-way functionality. www.schroff.biz...
100% and the fans are driven at 100% nominal speed. The control characteristic has been factory preset but can be altered and adapted by Schroff Service or one of its licensed service partners. 2.6 Alarms The control electronics can detect various faults (e.g. a broken sensor cable or a temperature that exceeds set limit values), save them in an alarm memory and signal the fault on the display or via potential-free contacts.
VARISTAR LHX 20 Operating the cooling module Cooling module 60714-050 3 Operating the cooling module 3.1 Control and display unit The combined control and display unit allows various settings and adjustments to be made. In normal operation the display shows the current air exit temperature from the module (F1/F2 averaged).
3 Release the SET button to accept the new set value. The user cannot make any other adjustments than the air exit temperature. Modifications to the parameterisation or control behaviour of the alarm outputs can be carried out only by Schroff service personnel or authorised Schroff service partners. www.schroff.biz...
VARISTAR LHX 20 Storage and transport Cooling module 60714-050 4 Storage and transport Danger of tipping over! The asymmetrical positioning of the cooling module poses a risk of the cabinet tipping over. The VARISTAR LHX 20 must always be adequately secured during transport.
ServicePLUS The setting up, commissioning, completion, maintenance and repair of VARISTAR cabinets may also be carried out within Schroff's service program. Please ask about our after-sales services. You can obtain further information about our ServicePLUS options online at: www.schroff.biz/ServicePlus 5.2 Initial Commissioning...
The circulator pump can thus be operated with constant pressure and variable water flow. For cooling systems in which the three-way functionality is required, the two-way valve can be suitably modified by Schroff service personnel. www.schroff.biz R2.1, May 10, 2012...
VARISTAR LHX 20 Commissioning Cooling module 60714-050 5.3.1 Requirements for water quality Attention!

VARISTAR LHX 20 Commissioning Cooling module 60714-050 5.3.2 Water connections at the cooling module The water connections are situated to the front of the cooling module. The pipes are fed through the base of the cabinet. Please consult the drawing provided in the Appendix of this manual for the nominal pipe diameters and position of the connections in the cabinet.
If the cooling unit is to be used exclusively in telecommunications environments (redundant -48 V power supply), please contact Schroff Service for further information. Mains supply to the 230 V version is via a IEC320-C14 connector with cable strain relief, situated on the bottom of the cooling module.
At temperatures below 18 °C and without power the valve is closed and bleed- ing cannot take place. For safety reasons Schroff recommends that during bleeding operations the power supply be isolated and the control valve opened by operating the actuator manually.
VARISTAR LHX 20 Commissioning Cooling module 60714-050 5.5.1 Steps for bleeding 1 Open the rear of the cabinet. 2 Remove cover plate from the lower part of the cooling module. 3 Using a 3 mm hexagonal key, adjust the actuator manually to position 1 (A)....
The user cannot make any other adjustments than the air exhaust tempera- ture.Modifications to the parameterisation or control behaviour of the alarm outputs can be carried out only by Schroff service personnel or authorised Schroff service partners. www.schroff.biz R2.1, May 10, 2012...
