Page 8: Introduction
Introduction NTRODUCTION System Descriptions Liebert Challenger 3000 Thermal Management systems are available in several configurations. 1.1.1 Compressorized Systems NOTE Compressorized systems may be a self-contained system, with the compressor in the Liebert Challenger 3000, or a split system, with the compressor in a separate condensing unit. These systems may be air-cooled, water-cooled or glycol-cooled, depending on the heat rejection method selected. -
Page 9: Startup
Startup TARTUP Before beginning startup, make certain that unit was installed according to the instructions in the installation manual, SL-11962. Verify that the fan shipping bolt has been removed, the check valve has been installed (on air-cooled units), and that the scroll compressor is rotating in the proper direction. - Page 10 Startup 14. Check for unusual noises and vibration. 15. Check all refrigerant and fluid lines for leaks. 16. Test all functions of your unit for proper operation. 17. Close high voltage dead front cover and latch. 18. Close front accent panel and latch. Return completed startup form to: Liebert Corporation Warranty Registration...

Page 11: Component Operation And Maintenance
Component Operation and Maintenance OMPONENT PERATION AND AINTENANCE System Testing 3.1.1 Environmental Control Functions The performance of all control circuits can be tested by actuating each of the main functions. This is done by temporarily changing the setpoints. Cooling To test the cooling function, set the setpoint for a temperature of 10°F (5°C) below room temperature. A call for cooling should be seen and the equipment should begin to cool. -
Page 12: Figure 1 Liebert Leak Detection Units
The optional water detection devices available are a point leak detection sensor and a zone leak detection kit. Emerson recommends remote monitoring of these devices for timely detection of water leaks that can cause expensive building and equipment damage if not resolved immediately. -
Page 13: Filters
Component Operation and Maintenance The zone leak detection kit provides leak detection for a defined zone. This kit is ideal for perimeter sensing or serpentine coverage of small areas. A simple, two-wire connection signals the alarms at a Liebert Thermal Management unit or at a monitoring panel. Run wires to the Liebert unit and connect them to terminals 24 and 51, 55 or 56. -
Page 14: Blower Package
Component Operation and Maintenance Blower Package Periodic checks of the blower package include: belt, motor mounts, fan bearings, and impellers. 3.3.1 Fan Impellers and Bearings Fan impellers should be periodically inspected and any debris removed. Check to see if they are tightly mounted on the fan shaft. -
Page 15: Refrigeration System
Component Operation and Maintenance Refrigeration System Each month, the components of the refrigeration system should be inspected for proper function and signs of wear. Since, in most cases, evidence of malfunction is present prior to component failure, periodic inspections can be a major factor in the prevention of most system failures. Refrigerant lines must be properly supported and not allowed to vibrate against ceilings, floors or the unit frame. -
Page 16: Thermostatic Expansion Valve
Component Operation and Maintenance 3.4.4 Thermostatic Expansion Valve Operation The thermostatic expansion valve performs one function. It keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy load conditions. It does not effect compressor operation. Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat. If too little refrigerant is being fed to the evaporator, the superheat will be high;... -
Page 17: Air-Cooled Condenser
Component Operation and Maintenance 3.4.6 Air-Cooled Condenser Restricted airflow through the condenser coil will reduce the operating efficiency of the unit and can result in high compressor head pressure and loss of cooling. Clean the condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit air flow. This can be done with compressed air or commercial coil cleaner. -
Page 18: Charging The Liebert Mc ™ With Refrigerant-Basic And Premium Efficiency Control
When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add the refrigerant through the compressor suction service valve. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the compressor. Emerson recommends connecting a sight glass between the charging hose and the compressor suction service valve. This will permit adjustment of the cylinder hand valve so that liquid can leave the cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the compressor. -

Page 24: 3.4.10 Regulating Valve-Scroll Compressor
Component Operation and Maintenance 3.4.10 Regulating Valve—Scroll Compressor The water regulating valve automatically regulates the amount of fluid necessary to remove the heat from the refrigeration system, permitting more fluid to flow when load conditions are high and less fluid to flow when load conditions are low. The valve consists of a brass body, balance spring, valve seat, valve disc holders, capillary tube to discharge pressure, and adjusting screw. -

Page 28: Standard Scroll Compressor Replacement
Component Operation and Maintenance 3.5.2 Standard Scroll Compressor Replacement Infrequently a fault in the motor insulation may result in a motor burn, but burnouts rarely occur in a properly installed system. Of those that do, most are the effects of mechanical or lubrication failures, resulting in the burnout as a secondary consequence. -
Page 29: Digital Scroll Compressor Replacement Procedure
Component Operation and Maintenance NOTICE Risk of improper wiring/phase sequencing. Could cause backward compressor rotation, poor performance and compressor damage. Three-phase power must be connected to the unit line voltage terminals in the proper sequence so that the scroll compressor rotates in the proper direction. Rotation in the wrong direction will result in poor performance and compressor damage. -

Page 32: Steam Generating Humidifier
Component Operation and Maintenance Autoflush Operation The operation of the autoflush is divided into four steps, beginning with a call for humidification. 1. If the humidifier has not been activated for over 30 hours, the autoflush will flow water into the pan for about 30 seconds. - Page 33 Component Operation and Maintenance Operation 1. During startup, when the humidity control calls for humidification, the fill valve opens and allows water to enter the canister. When the water level reaches the electrodes, current flows and the water begins to warm. The canister fills until the amperage reaches the setpoint and the fill valve closes.

Page 34: Table 12 Humidifier Canister Part Numbers
Component Operation and Maintenance Replacing the Canister Over a period of operation, the humidifier electrodes become coated with mineral solids. This coating insulates the electrodes and decreases the current flow. To maintain humidifier capacity, the water level slowly rises to expose fresh electrode. Eventually, the entire electrode becomes coated and the water level reaches the top. - Page 35 Component Operation and Maintenance Circuit Board Adjustments WARNING Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power supply disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear personal protective clothing per NFPA 70E before working within the electric control enclosure. Failure to comply can cause injury or death.
