3 Transport and assembly Safety rules for transport and assembly ⚠ WARNING Risk of injury and/or material damage from falling or tipping loads! When transporting the cabinet with a pallet truck, forklift or crane, do not step under the suspended load. ...
Unpacking The LHX+ is delivered on a pallet. Remove any transport material and packaging. Dispose of the transport and packaging material in an environmentally compliant manner and in accordance with the applicable local rules and regulations. Leave the cabinet on the pallet to transport it to its destination. Check the LHX+ after unpacking for transport damage or other damage.
Placing the cabinet ⚠ WARNING Risk of injury and/or material damage from falling or tipping loads! When transporting the cabinet with a pallet truck, forklift or crane, do not step under the suspended load. Only use approved equipment and slings to lift the cabinet. ...
3.3.1 Lifting the cabinet from the pallet The following steps describe how to lift the cabinet from the pallet with a forklift truck. 1) Transport the cabinet on the pallet to the installation site and remove the fastening screws with which the cabinet is fixed on the pallet. Note: For 800 mm deep cabinets, the fan trays must be removed first.
Commissioning The cabinet is completely wired and preconfigured. After connecting the power and water supply, it can be put into operation. ATTENTION Damage due to leaking water! Fittings may have loosened due to transport or during installation. Before commissioning, all fittings of the water circuit must be checked and tightened if necessary.
3.4.1 Connection to the cooling water supply ATTENTION Outflow of cooling water can cause damage! Connection to the cooling water supply should be carried out by a refrigeration engineer or suitably trained plumber. It must be ensured that suitable structural measures (leak sensor, automatic shut- off valves) prevent damage to surrounding components in the event of a leak or defect.
3.4.2 Requirements for the water quality ATTENTION Risk of corrosion! If aluminum is used in the external water circuit, there is a risk of corrosion. To avoid electrochemical corrosion, the compatibility of the materials used in the cooling module with those of the external cooling circuit must be observed. ...
3.4.3 Water connection Cabinet bottom view The water return (3) and supply (4) connections are located under the bottom plate of the cabinet. During transport, the water connections are protected by an angled sheet metal (2). To remove the sheet metal and access the water connections you have to remove the lower side panels (1).
Bleeding the cooling module ATTENTION Risk of damage! To avoid damage, the cooling module must be disconnected from the power supply during bleeding. Before commissioning, the device must be bleeded. Have the refrigeration engineer/plumber open the water flow to the cabinet. ...
3.5.1 Mains connection ⚠ WARNING Power cable rating If the was not supplied with AC power cables, purchase AC power cables approved for use in your country. The AC power cables must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label.
3.5.2 Mains inputs The cabinet has two IEC60320-C14 AC power inputs. One AC power input is located on the controller box at the top of the cabinet, the other at the bottom at the cooling module. To put the device into operation, both inputs must be powered. Power input cooling module Fuse Ground Stud (M6)
Connectors controller box IEC60320-C14 connector Connector for temperature sensors Ground Stud (M6) Connector for door contacts Connector for optional flow and Connector for remote display temperature sensor Connector for cooling module fan RJ45 connector Ethernet control Connector for valve actuator 10 RJ45 connector RS485 (Modbus RTU) 3.6.1 Plug in/Unplug connectors at the controller box The plugs are protected against disconnection by a locking mechanism.
Initial operation The cabinet is equipped with door contact switches. When the doors are open, the fans are disabled and the control valve is closed. To ensure proper function and cooling performance, the front 19" plane must be sealed off from the rear part of the cabinet by suitable air baffle plates and seals.
It is also possible to configure and monitor the operating parameters via Modbus TCP (IP) or Modbus RTU (RS485). For this purpose the LHX controller can be connected to the nVent Schroff Guardian Management Gateway which natively supports the control of the LHX+ cooling module.
