• Cascading NOTE: The U2U network must be separate from other networks. Use a communication card, such as a Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ IntelliSlot Unit, to communicate securely between your building management system or other networks. 6.1 Preparing for U2U Group Set Up Cooling units in the network will be assigned to groups, which affects how units function in teamwork, standby, rotation, and cascading operations.
NOTE: Messages sent to the broadcast address is typically received by all network-attached hosts. NOTE: CB Firmware Version does not alter or affect the firmware running on the control board. It only updates the display configuration. If incorrect, menus and data in the Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ display will be invalid or missing. Name Name of the unit.
NOTE: Units with a specific thermal area of influence should be assigned to the same zone/group, typically when a network spans separate rooms rather than by aisles. Groups are also handy when cooling units vary by cooling type, compressor type, or version of Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™...
Liebert® iCOM™ CoolChip Econophase CDU 7 External Monitoring and Building Management Systems Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ controlled cooling units are equipped with embedded Vertiv™ Liebert® IS-Unity-DP software to communicate with external monitoring systems including Building Management Systems (BMS), Network Monitoring Systems (NMS) and Vertiv™ Liebert® SiteScan™ Web.
7.1.3 Setting BMS Backup Setpoints Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ provides backup Temperature and Pump Control settings in the event of a loss of communications between the CDU and the BMS. When units are networked together, any unit connected to the BMS shall communicate shared BMS setting updates to other units within the group. Units will only revert to BMS Backup Operation all units in the group are not communicating with the BMS or if the unit is not communicating with both the BMS and other units in the group.
7.2.1 Connecting to the BMS The embedded Unity software resides on the Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™control board. There are two methods of connecting to a BMS, via Ethernet or RS-485. For a network connection, connect the Ethernet cable from the BMS to P74 on the iCOM™ control board. Figure 7.1 below , shows the connector location.
7.2.2 Embedded Unity User and Password Changes to the Unity configuration are authenticated with a user/password that is stored in the Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™. The stored user name and password must match that of a user account in embedded Unity. See Local Users Configuration on page 57 , for a description of the Unity accounts.
NOTE: With the exception of changing the node ID when multiple cards are used or when disabling Velocity Protocol IP access, the settings in the Velocity Protocol sub-folders should not be modified unless directed by a Vertiv representative. > BMS & Teamwork > IS-Unity Setup > Configuration > Velocity Protocol.
CDU shall provide the ability to maintain a safety margin between the fluid temperature and room air dew point via the dew point margin setpoint.

Liebert® iCOM™ CoolChip Econophase CDU 12 Hardware Installation Your unit includes the Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ controller. This section describes the installation of connections and cabling to fully utilize the iCOM™ features. 12.1 Wired Remote Sensors NOTE: Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ does not support the use of remote sensors for control. Remote sensors can be used for monitoring temperature only.
12.4 Flow Sensor The Vertiv™ CoolChip EconoPhase CDU shall come standard with one flow sensor mounted on the unit's leaving fluid line (supply) inside the unit. The flow meter reading is one of the available options that may be used to influence the unit(s) call for pump (CFP) or pump speed (i.e., pump speed control). The flow sensor provides a 4-20 mA output for the flow value connected to Analog Input 3 on the iCOM control.
12.6.1 Fluid Leak Detection—LT410 The Vertiv™ Intelligent Communication and Monitoring for Liebert® XDM shall provide two LT410 detection sensors: one underneath the pumps at the base of the unit and one underneath the filter section to monitor the system for leaks. Two corrosion resistant, gold plated probes sense the presence of aqueous liquids.
