Overrides allows manual control of some functions of the unit for a limited time period while running an automatic model for troubleshooting. See SL:-07625 CoolChip CDU 600 Installation and Commissioning for additional information. If an operator issues an override while the CDU is not in automatic mode, the override is ignored and the value will be automatically set back to default.
Full Manual control provides manual control of all functions of the unit for a limited time period. Selection causes the unit to switch OFF with the controller in dumb mode. See SL-7625 CoolChip CDU 600 Installation and Commissioning for more information.

4.3.1 Primary Circuit Operation The primary fluid temperature is monitored at the inlet to the CoolChip CDU 600 cabinet. The nominal cooling performance of the CDU has been calculated on a chilled water temperature between 4°C and 10°C (40°F and 50°F).
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide • The high and low temperature alarms are ignored for a default 20 minute period on startup to allow the system time to settle without generating nuisance alarms. The temperature PID control loop is operational from when the Start/Stop button is pressed and the pump has ramped up to speed.
Page 48
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide • If the differential pressure or flow drops below 50% of setpoint, then the unit will stop and an A40— Insufficient Fluid alarm is generated. This is a latched alarm and it will be impossible to restart the unit until the event has been manually cleared.

Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide Figure 4.17 Fluid Level Management Flow Chart When Running Secondary Supply Temperature Control Logic The secondary fluid temperature is monitored close to the secondary circuit supply connection Three temperature sensors are positioned here to give extended component redundancy (T2a, T2b, and T2c). The controller takes an average between all 3 readings as its input value.
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide Fixed SP Control Mode The secondary temperature should correspond to the desired setpoint. The default fixed setpoint is 18°C (65°F) and is used by the control loop to regulate the primary fluid cooling valve position to achieve and maintain the setpoint. The cooling valve position can be monitored on the Home screen or page 1 of the Status screen (Cooling Demand/Feedback).
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide 4.4.2 PID Control PID control is generally the preferred option for systems that see high or suddenly changing heat loads. Set the Proportional Band to 1.67X the Proportional Band sitting at which the system became unstable.

Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide The failure offset is applicable only when a group of 3 or more CDU 600 units are configured in N (that is all CDU 600s set to run, with no CDU 600 redundancy) and they are configured to spin up the standby pump when an CDU 600 failure/power off occurs.
Page 70
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide Figure 6.7 Lead Communication Failure In the event of a sensor failure, all sensors related to control (PS1, PS2 and T2) are redundant at the CDU 600 level, so a single sensor failure will not impact the operation or the status of the CDU 600, So, if the lead CDU 600 does have a sensor failure it will not result in a change of lead.
Water/coolant fluid can result in fluid leakage, severe property damage and loss of critical data center equipment. Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage. Vertiv recommends installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply and return lines.
• Primary circuit: The CoolChip CDU 600 is designed for use with a facility supply of water or up to 20% glycol/water. A 20% glycol concentration will give protection to approximately -9°C (16°F). If a higher concentration of glycol is used, then the cooling capacity of the unit may have to be de-rated.
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide 6.2.3 General Settings • Record unit serial number on maintenance check lists • Record values from controller display home page 6.2.4 Controller Checks These checks look at setpoints, alarm actions, and group control.
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 Operation and Maintenance Guide 6.2.6 Fluid Checks • Take secondary circuit fluid sample as directed by fluid management partner and send to approved lab for analysis and report recommendations. • Take action on any previous fluid report recommendations.
IMPORTANT! If the control panel does not move, then the transit retaining bolts were not removed during the installation process. Refer to SL-07625 CoolChip CDU 600 Installation and Commissioning. To remove these bolts now requires the unit to be shutdown and power removed by using the isolator/disconnect switch to open the power section door of the control panel and gain access to these bolts.
