3.1.5 Configuring High/Low Limit Setpoints Setting dehumidification low limits avoids over cooling a room during dehumidification. When a low limit is reached, the cooling source used for dehumidification is disabled. Dehumidification resumes when air temperature rises above the low limit reset value. NOTE: Dehumidification lockout can occur with improper low limit settings.
PI: Percent of humidification calculated using proportional and integral terms. Humidity Deadband Widens the setpoint to prevent small changes in humidity from cycling components and also maximizes component life. When humidity is within the deadband, no humidification/dehumidification occurs. Vertiv | Liebert® iCOM Installer/User Guide...
Humidity Integration Time Adjusts unit capacity based on the length of time the humidity has deviated from the setpoint. Works in conjunction with the proportional band to maintain tight setpoint control. Humidity Proportional Band Adjusts the activation point of humidifier/dehumidification components based on deviation from setpoint by placing half of the selected value on each side of the humidity-control setpoint.

(Advanced setting: A557) and 100% depending upon required dehumidifying capacity. The display always shows 100% dehumidification. Figure 3.7 Humidity Control without a Deadband Description ½ of proportional band. ½ of proportional band. Vertiv | Liebert® iCOM Installer/User Guide...
Humidity Deadband A deadband widens the setpoint to prevent small changes in humidity from activating humidifiers, compressors and valves and cause excessive component cycling. Figure 3.8 below, illustrates humidity control using: • 50% setpoint • 8% proportional band • 2% deadband Like the proportional band, the deadband is also divided evenly on each side of the setpoint.
In Manual fan control mode, the speed of the motor can be set in one of the following ways: • The manual (fixed) fan speed may be set via iCOM. • Remotely using a Liebert® IntelliSlot® card. Vertiv | Liebert® iCOM Installer/User Guide...
NOTE: Set the fan speed via BMS by writing to the Fan Speed Maximum Setpoint monitoring point. For details, see SL- 28170 IntelliSlot Reference Guide found at https://www.Vertiv.com/en-us/support/. NOTE: Local adjustments to fan speed are overridden when remote/BMS fan speed control is set.
Start and finish time of day that noise-reduction operates. Interval Day Selects days on which noise reduction operation for the interval specified in Interval 1. Max Speed in Low Noise Mode Sets the maximum speed for the condenser fan during low noise operation. Vertiv | Liebert® iCOM Installer/User Guide...
