Selecting SETPOINTS from the Main Menu will display the following selections: • TEMPERATURE SETPOINT • TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY • HUMIDITY SETPOINT • HUMIDITY SENSITIVITY • HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM • LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM •...
Time The controller time clock must be set to allow for the setback control. The clock uses the 24-hour sys- tem (i.e., 12 midnight is entered 24:00). To change the time press ENTER to select the function, then use the UP/DOWN arrow to change the first character, press ENTER to store, then press the UP/ DOWN arrow key to change the character, press ENTER to store, etc.
RH reading will then be lower than actually desired. If the temperature drop was significant enough, the percentage RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier. If the absolute humidity control is selected, over-dehumidification may be avoided. When overcooling occurs (i.e., causing an increase in the RH reading) the humidity control program estimates what the...
3.10.7 CW Flush (For Systems With a Modulating Chilled-Water Valve) This function shows the interval time at which the system will perform a modulating chilled-water valve system flush cycle. The factory default is 24 (hours) and is programmable from 0 (hours) which signifies to never flush, to 99 (hours) which signifies to flush after every 99 hours of valve non-use.
3.14 Alarm Time Delay Each individual alarm can be programmed with a time delay (Table 13), causing the unit to delay a specified amount of time (0-255 seconds) before recognizing the alarm. The alarm condition must be present for the full amount of the time delay before the alarm will sound. If the alarm condition is diverted prematurely, the alarm will not be recognized and the time delay will automatically reset.
3.17 Custom Text To modify the two custom alarm messages select “CUSTOM TEXT”. Then select “Custom Text #1,” “Custom Text #2” or “Custom Text #3.” Text can be up to 16 characters in length and can be either a blank space or any of the following alphanumeric characters and symbols: •...

YSTEM ERFORMANCE Control Type Response Proportional Control The percent requirement is determined by the difference between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint. As the return air temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the per- cent cooling required increases proportionally (from 0 to 100%) over a temperature band equal to the temperature sensitivity plus 1 degree Fahrenheit.
Alarm will occur. Communications The control system uses a two-wire, RS-422 channel to communicate with Liebert Site Products via a proprietary protocol. A converter board (ECA2) is available to allow communications with a “dumb” terminal or a computer using RS-232 channel. More details are provided in the Site Products and ECA2 User Manual.
When a new alarm occurs, it is displayed on the screen and the audible alarm is activated. (If commu- nicating with a Liebert Site Product, the alarm is also transmitted). The message “PRESS ALARM SILENCE” will prompt the operator to silence the alarm. After the alarm is silenced, the display will return to the Normal Status Display.

Maintenance and Component Operation 6.2.1 Electric Panel The electric panel should be inspected on a semi-annual basis for any loose electrical connections. 6.2.2 Filters Filters are usually the most neglected item in an environmental control system. In order to maintain efficient operation, they should be checked monthly and changed as required.
6.2.4 Electric Reheat Reheat element sheets and fins are manufactured with stainless steel. Regular inspections are neces- sary to assure proper cleanliness of the reheating element. Should inspection reveal corrosion parti- cles on the reheating element or adjoining surfaces (including ducts and plenums), appropriate cleaning should be performed.
Regulating Valves (Water/Glycol Condensing Units) The water regulating valve automatically regulate 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 water regulating valve is designed to begin opening at 180 psi (1240 kPa) and be fully opened at 240 psi (1655 kPa).
(as required by the service contractor). If the compressor is under warranty, it must be returned to Liebert in order to receive proper warranty credit. It should be returned in the same container the replacement was shipped in. The possible cause(s) or condition(s) of the damage should be legibly recorded on the provided return tag.
Steam generating humidifiers operate efficiently over a wide range of water quality conditions and automatically adjust to changes in the conductivity of water. The system will automatically drain and refill to maintain a current setpoint and alert the operator when the humidifier canister needs to be replaced.
(1 VDC) and should not be readjusted without consulting your Liebert supplier. The DIP switch settings are used to set the capacity of the humidifier. If the humidifier is replaced in the field the DIP switches should be set to the required settings described below.
Replace wallbox or temperature/humidity circuit board (if remote). Make sure switch is in Run position. Check humidifier water supply (including filter screen) and check nylon overflow line if canister is full. Check fill valve screen opening and capillary tube for obstructions.
