NOTICE
The manual is retained for the entire service life of the machine;
The user reads the manual carefully before carrying out any operations on the machine;
The unit control must be used exclusively for the purpose which it is intended for; the manufacturer
takes no liability in case of an incorrect use or a modification of the unit control

WARNING
This manual was prepared to enable the end user to carry out only the operation that can be done with
the panels closed.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to carry out operations that require opening of the door or the
equipment panels. The panel key supplied with the unit must be kept by a person responsible for the
maintenance.

CAUTION
Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all parts are included and check the
nameplate to make sure the voltage matches available utility power.
For identification of the unit (model and serial no.) in case of the necessity for assistance or spare parts,
locate the identification label on the outside of the unit.

WARNING
This unit operates and restarts automatically.
If the electrical connection is live, there are residual risks: electric shock, burns, moving parts, automatic
restarting from the remote control.
Before any operation that requires opening of the door or the equipment panels (mainte-
nance, cleaning, etc.), disconnect the unit from the power supply.
The ON/OFF switch on the control panel does not isolate the power from the unit, even in the unit off
mode. To cut off the power supply, open the insulation device (main switch) which is positioned on the
electrical panel cover, behind the door on the left:

MAIN SWITCH

Unscrew the door and open it to access the main switch.

After opening the door pay attention to the cable and components still energized.
Open the main switch to cut off the power before removing any protective cover.

Liebert PDX - UM - 265075 - 26.11.2015 i

 WARNING
The supply cable of the main switch contains live high-voltage.
The manufacturer highly recommends that the final customer installs on site an external main switch,
easy to reach and to facilitate a quick and easy shutdown enabling the power of the unit to be cut off.
Refer to the unit electrical schematics for the installation. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION
If the unit door is open while the fans are operating, the airflow may suddenly slam the door closed.
There is a risk of being hit by the door and hands being crushed.
Before opening the door, switch off the unit using the local or remote control panel or the external
main switch (if installed).
If small objects are left loose in the fans bay after any maintenance operation, it may result in the object
ejection at the fans start-up.
There is a risk of being hit by small objects.
Install all protection panels or a grid before starting up the fans after any maintenance operation.
Position the floor panels also below the unit with the fans below the floor.

WARNING
If the internal compartments are open immediately after the machine has been switched off, there might
be some hazards related to:
Components still at high temperature: electrical heaters, humidifier and steam distributor, hot water
piping.
Rotating elements (fan impellers, they might continue to rotate for a while by inertia)
Sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners
Pay attention to the warning labels on the unit.

1 - General description
The Liebert PDX is a full-featured precision air conditioner intend-
ed for data centers, network closets, technological rooms (labora-
tories, metrological rooms, museums), new and existing construc-
tions, raised and non-raised floors, moderate to high density heat
loads, also in combination with cold aisle containments (up to 10
kW/ Rack). It provides all the necessary functions of a standard
precision air conditioner, including cooling, heating, humidification,
dehumidification, air filtration, condensate management, tempera-
ture control, alarm functions and data communications. Thanks to
Copelands Digital Scroll and electronic expansion valve availabil-
ity, Liebert PDX can achieve a continuous spectrum of capaci-
ty output, ensuring a very tight and precise control on room tem-
perature. Liebert PDX can rapidly change from one capacity duty
to another. Therefore it controls environmental parameters even
working with swiftly changing heat loads. In Digital Scroll Cooling
system depending on the unit size the modulating capacity range is
between 15% and 100% of the nominal capacity. The compressor
can drop down to 10%, but the system will decrease in efficiency.
Thanks to the capacity modulation we can reduce the starting and
stopping of the compressor which uses a lot of power and puts a
great amount of stress on the components; therefore we can en-
hance efficiency and life of the system.

With the Liebert PDX range we are able to manage unexpected
very high ambient temperatures, maintaining the system active, re-
ducing HP alarm and troublesome stops of the unit. Infact, when
the discharge pressure reaches the limit value, the compressor
capacity is limited to a fraction of the actual request, in this way
restricting the heat rejection and allowing the system running with-
out interruptions. If, after a defined time, the condensing pressure
comes back within the limit, the capacity will be modulated in the
usual way. Reliability of the Liebert PDX is also maximized, thanks
to the fewer system parts and simple electronic controls which re-
duces the unit maintenance.
Digital Scroll motor runs at a constant speed throughout the oper-
ating range.
This unique feature increases the applicability of the Liebert PDX
units into technological rooms, as it eliminates the need for expen-
sive electromagnetic suppression electronics require to ensure
electromagnetic compatibility. The Digital function maintains the
maximum refrigerant velocity through the pipes. As a result of these
reasons, Liebert PDX units do not need oil return components.
The Liebert PDX Standard Height Unit 15-33 kW has a compact
design, the fan module is integrated in the units frame.
The units are available in the three configurations shown below.

Here the refrigerant, thanks to the heat - exchanged with the room

To maintain the correct refrigerant discharge pressure, the speed of
the motor fan (8) is controlled (proportional mode). Shut-off valves
are provided as standard to assist with routine maintenance. The
compressor (1) has a built-in non-return valve to avoid return o liq-
uid refrigerant from the condenser in summertime, thus protecting
the compressor from undesired refrigerant slugging during the start
up. A second non-return valve (7) is necessary to avoid - in winter-
time - refrigerant migration from the liquid pipes and the receiver (3)
to the condenser (2), that should be responsible for low pressure
intervention at the start-up of compressor.
For safety reason, a relief valve (9) is installed on the liquid receiv-
er (3); this valve is equipped with flanged connections so that the
refrigerant may be discharged to the outside.

refrigerant (standard R410A). The Freecooler unit cools the air flow by means of the air refriger-
ant coil (5) in direct expansion rows [direct expansion mode] or, as
an alternative, the air/water coil (5) in freecooling rows [freecooling
mode]. Whenever the outdoor temperature is at least 5 degrees
below the indoor return temperature, the water flow is cooled by
an external Dry Cooler (10) and passes through the coil (5). When

perature), the water exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the wa-

1.2 - Direct expansion, water cooled unit -

W versions
The unit is provided with compressor(s) (1) that pumps the hot gas-
eous refrigerant into a water-cooled condenser (2).
The liquefied refrigerant arrives to a liquid receiver (3) that ensures
a constant and even refrigerant flow to the expansion valve (4) and
then arrives to the evaporator (5). Here the refrigerant, thanks to
the heat - exchanged with the room air moved by the fan (6) - evap-
orates and returns to the compressor (1); from this, the refrigerant
begins a new refrigeration cycle.
The compressor (1) has a built-in non-return valve to avoid return
of liquid refrigerant from the condenser, thus protecting the com-
pressor from undesirable refrigerant slugging during the start up.
A second non-return valve (7) is installed to avoid refrigerant mi-
gration from the liquid pipes and the receiver (3) to the condenser
(2), that should be responsible for high pressure intervention at the
start-up of compressor.

1.4 - Dual fluid, air cooled unit - D versions
The Dualfluid unit cools the air flow by means of the air refrigerant
coil (5) in direct expansion rows [direct expansion mode: see re-
frigeration circuit] or, as an alternative, the air/ water coil (5) in the
chilled water rows [chilled water mode].
Note 1: Units and external condensers are supplied separately.
Note 2: The room unit refrigeration circuit is pressurized with he-
lium at 3 bar and the condenser refrigeration circuit at 2 bar with
dry air.
Note 3: To complete the Dualfluid system it is necessary to connect
the chilled water coming from the external source to the air/water
coil connections (5).
Note 4: The customer is responsible for making connections be-
tween the Unit and the external condenser and for charging with
refrigerant (standard R410A).
1.6 - Constant K
Refrigeration circuit
All models are provided with a single refrigeration circuit.
The compressor (1) pumps the hot gaseous refrigerant into an out-
door air-cooled condenser (2). The liquefied refrigerant arrives to
a liquid receiver (3) that ensures a constant and even refrigerant
flow to the thermostatic expansion valve (4) and then arrives to the
evaporator (5). Here the refrigerant, thanks to the heat - exchanged
with the room air moved by the fan (6) - evaporates and returns to
the compressor (1); from this, the refrigerant begins a new refriger-
ation cycle. To maintain the correct refrigerant discharge pressure,
the speed of the motor fan (8) is controlled (on-off or proportional
mode).
When the cooling capacity of the room unit is higher than the room
load and the room temperature tends to decrease, the hot gas
valve (11) opens and the hot gas coil (10) heats the treated air,
maintaining the room at the requested restricted temperature con-
ditions.
Shut-off valves are provided as standard to assist with routine
maintenance.
The compressor (1) has a built-in non-return valve to avoid return
of liquid refrigerant from the condenser in summertime, thus pro-
tecting the compressor from undesired refrigerant slugging during
the start up. A second non-return valve (7) is recommended to
avoid - in wintertime - refrigerant migration from the liquid pipes and
the receiver (3) to the condenser (2), that should be responsible of
low pressure intervention at the start-up of compressor.
For safety reason, a relief valve (9) is installed on the liquid receiv-
er (3); this valve is equipped with flanged connections so that the
refrigerant may be discharged to the outside.

14. ENSURE THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN PREHEAT-
ED FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS BEFORE STARTING THE
UNIT.
15. Start the unit by pressing ON/OFF on the external display (on
the internal display if the external display is not installed)
16. Check the electrical absorption of all components
(see Chap. 7).
17. Check the electrical absorption of the external condenser/ Dry
cooler, if fitted.
18. IMPORTANT - If the compressor makes a loud and unusual
noise IT IS NECESSARY TO INVERT the electrical connec-
tions of the phases supplying the corresponding scroll com-
pressor, which accepts only one direction of rotation.
19. Ensure that the fans rotate in the correct direction (see arrow
on fan).
CAUTION: risk of contact with rotating devices.
20. Ensure that all control system settings are correct and that
there are no alarms (see Control manual).
21. W, F and H only: Verify the water flow.
22. W, F and H only: For closed circuit units ensure that the water
pump starts when the compressor starts.
23. Verify the Fresh Air Intake operation (if fitted).
24. Once the system is operating under load, check the various
components, as follows:
Verify that the fans are operating properly.
Ensure that the temperature and relative humidity are
being controlled, and that the humidifier (optional) and
heating steps (optional) operate when required.
Ensure that the compressor operates when required.
D and H only: Ensure that chilled water valve operates
when required.
Ensure that the fan operation controller on the external-
condenser/Dry cooler (if fitted) is calibratedcorrectly, and
that it controls the fan operation.
Check oil level inside compressors, where compressors
oil level sight glass is available, after 30 min of compres-
sors running at maximum capacity: oil level must be be-
tween and of sight glass. In tandem compressors the
oil level must be checked with both compressors running
at maximum capacity (note: when only one compressor
is running, the oil level inside the compressor that is not
currently running could be at the minimum and the com-
pressor, that is running, at the maximum level; when one
compressor is running at maximum capacity and one
Liebert PDX - UM - 265075 - 26.11.2015
compressor is running in modulating capacity, the oil lev-
el in the latter one could be between 1/2 and the mini-
mum).8.2 - Starting and stopping
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT EACH CRANKCASE HAS BEEN PRE-
HEATED.
FOR BRIEF STOPPAGES KEEP THE SUPPLY TO THE CRANK-
CASE HEATER.
Turn on the unit operating on the ON/OFF switch placed on the
display. If the ON/OFF remote device is not installed, the green
LED on the iCOM case will light up together with the LED placed
below the ON/OFF switch. The fan starts immediately (the fan al-
ways works when the unit is ON); after 2 minutes the regulation is
activated, so the cooling (compressor), heating (electric heaters),
humidifying and dehumidifying devices can start.
Adjust the set-point as indicated in Control manual.
Stop the unit putting the ON/OFF switch in OFF.
The main switch on the electrical panel inside the unit should
be switched off if the unit is stopped for a long time.
8.3 - Automatic restart
If desired, the unit will automatically restart on the return of power
after a supply interruption (see Control manual).
If the power interruption is expected to be of several hours, to avoid
an automatic cold restart of the compressor stop the unit before
the black-out and, on the return of power, allow the compressor to
preheat before restarting the unit.
8.4 - Checking the refrigeration piping
pressure drops
Liebert PDX is equipped with connections to check the refrigera-
tion piping pressure drops:
room unit condenser room unit
To carry out this operation it is necessary to use 2 calibrated ma-
nometers and connect them as follows:
M1, connected to the compressor delivery valve;
M2, connected to the Schrader valve (1) of Fig. h.
When the compressor is running, check M1 and M2.
N.B.: Repeat this test, inverting the manometers: to calculate the
correct p consider the average value of the two readings.
Refrigeration pipeline Pressure drops (p bar), at 45C
At the same geodetic level: p (bar) = M1-M2
When condenser is above the room unit:
p (bar) = M1-M2+geodetic difference (m x 1,1:10,2)
When condenser is below the room unit:
p (bar) = M1-M2-geodetic difference (m x 1,1:10,2)

9 - Operation
Unit operation is completely automatic. The below sequence ex-
plains how the unit operates :
The air, sucked in by the fan, enters the unit.
The air is immediately filtered.
The TEMPERATURE sensor or HUMITEMP (temperature +
rel. humidity) sensor (check type installed), verifies the state of
the inlet air, and relays this information to the control system.
Filtered new air is injected into the air stream via the Fresh Air
Intake (optional).
The treated air passes through the fans, which operate contin-
uously, and is then dispersed out of the unit.
Downflow unit only: the air passes from the underfloor void
into the room via air distribution outlets.
For DOWNFLOW units installed on raised floor: switch
off the machine before the floor panels removal within a
distance of 850mm from the machine, to avoid risks of
contact with rotating devices (fans) moving and with hot
heating elements.(see Fig. j).
The control system compares the relayed information to the
set point and proportional band values programmed into its
memory: it then commands the air conditioner to treat the air
as follows (see also Control manual):
COOLING
Direct expansion mode (DX)
The compressor (scroll compressor or digital scroll compres-
sor, with modulating capacity) is started and the cold refriger-
ant flows through the evaporator, thus cooling the air passing
over it. For compressor operation see Control manual.
In dual circuit units, the evaporator is a dual stage coil, so the
air is cooled first by one circuit (circuit n2, compressor( s) on
the left side) and then by the other one (circuit n1, compres-
sor(s) on the right side) . Temperature and pressure values
related to the two refrigerant circuits can be different.
HEATING
This can take one of three forms:
electrical heating (optional): the heating elements heat
the air passing over them. There is 1 heating step.
Note: To protect the unit from superheating, one automat-
ic reset sensor set at 40C and one or more manual reset
thermostats set at 120C are installed.
hot water heating (optional): if hot water is available, this
flows through the hot water coil, thus heating the air pass-
ing over it. The hot water flow is controlled by an on-off
(3-way) valve.
hot gas reheat (optional used during dehumidification):
the hot refrigerant which exits the compressor flows
through the hot gas coil, thus heating the air passing over
it.
DUAL POWER SUPPLY optional
This option allows a supply of electrical power from two differ-
ent electrical sources. It is possible to chose between different
solutions:
Dual Power Supply Parallel: 2 separate power supplies:
during normal working mode both are present, during
emergency situation only the main one is present.
This means that during emergency mode full cooling re-
dundancy is granted disabling heating and humidifying.
This last option allows, during emergency mode, to re-
duce unit power absorption and therefore Genset or UPS
sizes.
Dual Power Supply Alternate Basic Version: 2 separate
power supplies: each power supply is able to completely
feed the unit. In case of failure of the main supply the unit
automatically switches to the second power supply. This
Liebert PDX - UM - 265075 - 26.11.2015
allows having a complete power supply redundancy or in
case needed to have during emergency mode full cool-
ing redundancy disabling heating and humidifying. This
last option allows during emergency mode to reduce unit
power absorption and therefore Genset or UPS sizes.
DEHUMIDIFICATION - optional
DX mode
Compressor(s) starts and the air flow is reduced, thereby
causing dehumidification (refer also to Control manual).
In freecooling mode: see Control manual.
Note: If, during dehumidification, the ambient temperature
drops below a specified level, dehumidification will be stopped
if necessary (see LOW LIMIT intervention in Control manual).
HUMIDIFICATION - optional
The humidifier creates steam, which is distributed into the air
stream via the steam distribution pipe (see also Enclosure A,
F, G).
Note: Manual control can be performed using the control system
(see Control manual).

10 -Calibrations & Regulation
(at start-up)
The air conditioner has already been factory tested and calibrated,
but it is very important to check, at start-up, the superheating.
See Tab. 5 and Tab. 6 (Enclosure B) that show all valves.
The air conditioner has already been factory tested and cali-
brated.
For calibrations of instruments installed on the external con-
densers/Dry coolers refer to the relevant manual.
For control system calibrations refer to Control manual (to pre-
vent erratic operations do not use temperature sand rel. hu-
midity set points/proportional bands which differ excessively
from the Standard Settings).
WARNING: Before any calibration with the unit oper-
ating, remove the call for humidification and electrical
heating at the iCOM control.
10.1 - Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) setting
THIS OPERATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN EXPERI-
ENCED REFRIGERATION TECHNICIAN.
The thermostatic expansion valve has been factory preset and, if
necessary, should be reset as follows:
1. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the instructions in Chap. 5 have
been carried out.
2. Allow the compressor to operate for 15 min.
3. Measure the superheat as follows:
a. Place a contact thermometer on the tube exiting the
evaporator;
14
 b. Connect a manometer (with a tube of max. 300 mm) to
the compressor suction valve.
c. The overheating is the difference between the refrigerant
saturation temperature corresponding to the pressure read
on the manometer and the real temperature read on the ther-
mometer.
4. The superheat must be 6-8 K; if not, set the expansion valve
as follows:
a. Remove the protective cover;
b. Turn the adjustment screw by 1/4 turn only;
c. Wait 10 minutes.
d. Measure the superheat and repeat the operation if nec-
essary.
Note: If the superheat is too low (compressor cool at the touch) the
screw must be turned in a clockwise direction.
If the superheat is too high (compressor hot at the touch) the screw
must be turned in a counterclockwise direction.
10.2 - Electronic expansion valve (EEV) setting
The electronic expansion valve has been factory preset (default
superheat: 6 K).
(ONLY FOR A-H)
If the unit is provided with EEV the setpoin of fan speed regu-
lator can be changed to the lower one for increasing efficiency
of the system.
Check user manual of HCR air condenser too.
Any regulation must be performed by the Emerson Network Power
Customer Service.
10.3 - Water/Chilled water valve (W, F, D and H only)
The 2way (W/ F) or 3way (W/D/H) valve controls the water flow;
they are connected with different actuators according to the units
size.
The actuator controls the valve opening by a stem. When actua-
tor stem is completely down, the valve is open and water flow is
supplied.
In water cooled units, the water valve adjusts the condensing tem-
perature through the plate condenser water flow regulation (MBV).
The condensing temperature is preset at 40C inside the iCOM
control. This value can be modified only by the Emerson Network
Power Customer Service.
The valve running time is set to the value specified in the Control
Manual.

Liebert PDX - UM - 265075 - 26.11.2015
In the unlikely event of control system failure, the valve can be

drive the actuator into any position between 0 and 1.
10.4 - Adjustment of the hot gas injection valve as
antifreeze mode and partial control of the capacity
(F, D, H and Constant)
THIS OPERATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN EXPERT RE-
FRIGERATION TECHNICIAN.
10.4.1 - Features
This valve is installed int some special versions (see relevant re-
frigeration circuits). It enables a partial control of the evaporating
pressure, so as to avoid evaporation temperatures lower than zero
degrees centigrade and thus any ice formation (chilled water side),
even with low temperatures of the return air. It injects hot gas ex-
iting the compressor before the evaporator through the gas-liquid
mixer, so as to keep the pressure higher than the set value. See
the refrigeraton diagram.
10.4.2 - Adjustment
The min. evaporating pressure is kept by calibrating the valve as
follows.
Drastically reduce the conditioner air delivery.
Check by a precise pressure gauge the evaporating pressure
and the relevant saturation temperature.
Adjust the valve acting on the adjustment screw, so that it in-
tervenes when the evaporation temperature has decreased to
2C.
Then check the correct operation of the thermostatic expan-
sion valve.
10.5 - Water leakage sensor (Liquistat)
Due to high flooding alarm device sensitivity, to the end to avoid un-
desirable alarm signal because of few sporadic water drops, place
the sensors at a minimum distance of 500 mm from the unit base
perimeter.
This solution assures alarm intervention for real flooding risk only.
10.6 - Environment protection
A misuse or an incorrect calibration of the unit leads to an increased

11 -Maintenance and Spare Parts
11.1 - Safety instructions
All maintenance operations must be carried out strictly by observing the European and National accident prevention regulations.
We refer especially to the accident prevention regulations concerning electrical systems, refrigerators, and manufacturing resources.
Maintenance may be done to air conditioning equipment only by authorized and qualified technicians.
In order to keep all warranties valid, the maintenance must adhere to the manufacturers regulations.
DANGER: The work should be done in the system only when it is at standstill. Do this by switching off the air con-
ditioner at the controller and the main switch. Post a warning sign saying: DO NOT SWITCH ON.
Electrical components of device have to be switched off and be checked that they are not under voltage.

11.6 - Refrigeration circuit

WHEN REPAIRING THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT, COLLECT ALL REFRIGERANT IN A CONTAINER: DO NOT ALLOW IT TO
ESCAPE.
When removing (for repairs) or charging refrigerant, it must always be done on both the high and low pressure sides of the compres-
sor simultaneously.
The compressor copper plated steel connections should be welded with a silfos material containing a minimum of 5% silver.
11.6.1 - Refrigerant charge of the water-cooled units (W, F and H)
1. Start the unit as described in par. 8.1.
2. Manually start the compressor (ensure the unit is not in dehumidification).
3. Wait a few minutes to allow conditions to stabilize.
4. Check the refrigerant circuit using a leak detector. If there is a leak recharge the unit until the working conditions of the entire refrig-
eration circuit have become normal.
5. Using a manometer, check that the evaporating temperature is above 0C.
6. Verify that the superheat is 6-8 K (to do this refer to par. 10.1).
11.6.2 -Oil charge R410A
The oil to be used when topping up (only if there are any leaks) is EMKARATE RL 32-3MA or Mobil EAL Arctic 22CC (see Tab. h
and Tab. i).
Tab. h - EMKARATE RL 32-3MA oil

These oils rapidly absorb the humidity present in the air when they are exposed to the atmosphere.
If the oil absorbs humidity, the ester molecules can break down, forming acidity.
We therefore recommend exposing the oil for as short time as possible (no more than a few minutes) and, in case of topping up, using
exclusively the oil indicated on the refrigerating compressor.
Normally 1 or 2-litre cans are available for this purpose; once they are opened, they must be completely used up. They must not be used
after a long period, as they absorb humidity.

Liebert PDX - UM - 265075 - 26.11.2015 20

It is therefore obvious that the taps of the compressor must only be turned after the whole plant has been subjected to a vacuum and
partial filling.
11.6.3 - Oil topping-up of an installed circuit
If oil leakages occur, the topping-up operation is necessary.
(Contact the local Service before intervention).

11.7 - Dismantling the unit

The machine has been designed and built to ensure continuous operation.
The working life of some of the main components, such as the fan, depends on the maintenance that they receive.
CAUTION: The unit contains substances and components hazardous for the environment (electronic components, lead gel
battery, refrigerating gases and oils). At the end of the useful life, when the unit is dismantled, the operation must be carried
out by specialized refrigerating technicians. The unit must be delivered to suitable centers specialized for the collection and
disposal of equipment containing hazardous substances.
The lead gel battery, refrigeration fluid and the lubricating oil inside the circuit must be recovered according to the laws in force in the
relevant country.

11.8 - Regulation (EU) no. 517/2014 (F-gas)

Stationary air conditioners placed into the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases
(F- gas, such as R407C, R134a, R410A), they have to comply since Jan 1, 2015 with the F- gas Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014. It
replaces the Re. (EU) no. 342/2006, applied since July 4, 2007.
By the way, the refrigerants as R22 are not F- gas and their relevant regulation is Reg. (EU) no. 2037/2000.
Following notes have to be considered when operating with the above mentioned equipments:
Fluorinated greenhouse gases are covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
The fluorinated greenhouse gases in this equipment should not be vented to the atmosphere.
Referring to the value noted in Annex I and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 here below the global warming potential (GWP)
of some major F- gases or mixtures:
R- 134a GWP 1430
R- 407C GWP 1774
R- 410A GWP 2088
Operators of the above mentioned applications, which contain fluorinated greenhouse gases, shall, using all measures which are
technically feasible and do not entail disproportionate cost:
a. prevent leakage of these gases and as soon as possible repair any detected leakage.
b. ensure that they are checked for leakage by certified personnel.
c. ensure for putting in place arrangements for the proper recovery by certified personnel.
d. In case of applications containing 5 tons CO2 equivalent, i.e. 2.4 kg of R410A (10 tons in case of hermetically sealed system) or
more of F- gases: certified personnel and Companies (according to Reg. 303/2008) provides regular leak testing (according to
Reg. 1516/2007 and Reg. 1497/2007) and maintain records of maintenance activities in a dedicated log book.
e. Recovery for the purpose of recycling, reclamation or destruction of the fluorinated greenhouse gases, pursuant to
Art. 8 of the Regulation shall take place before the final disposal of that equipment and, when appropriate, during its
servicing and maintenance.
Operator, according to Regulation Article 2, point 8, means the natural or legal person exercising actual power over the technical
functioning of products and equipment covered by this Regulation. The State may, in defined, specific situations, designate the
owner as being responsible for the operators obligations. Where large installations are involved, service companies are contracted
to carry out maintenance or servicing. In these cases the determination of the operator depends on the contractual and practical
arrangements between the parties.
Direct methods of leakage checking approved by the manufacturer (Reg. 1516/2007 and Reg. 1497/2007)
a. gas detection device adapted to the refrigerant in the system;the sensitive of portable gas detection devices (as a direct test
method) shall be at least five grams par year.
b. proprietary bubble solutions / soapsuds.
Additional information located into a dedicated label of unit (Reg. 1494/2007)
a. Where fluorinated greenhouse gas is foreseen to be added to the equipment outside of the manufacturing site at the point of
installation, a dedicated label accommodates notation of both the quantity (kg) pre-charged in the manufacturing plant and of the
quantity charged at the installation site as well as the resulting total quantity of f-gas as a combination of the above mentioned quan-
tities, in a manner which conforms to the legibility and indelibility.
Our split units are usually not pre-charged on factory, in this case the total quantity of refrigerant charged in the unit has to be written
in the relevant label, during the commissioning operation at the installation site.
b. Our packaged units (not split) operating with f - gas are usually full charged on factory and the total amount of refrigerant charge
is already reported on the label. In this case, the label has no need of further written information.
c. In generally, the above mentioned information has been located in the main nameplate of relevant unit.
d. For equipment with double refrigeration circuits, in regards to differentiates requirements on the basis of the quantity of f-gas
contained, the required information about refrigerant charge quantities has to be listed separately for each individual circuit.
e. For equipments with separate indoor and outdoor sections connected by refrigerant piping, the label information will be on that
part of the equipment which is initially charged with the refrigerant. In case of a split system (separate indoor and outdoor sections)
without a factory pre-charge of refrigerant, the mandatory label information will be on that part of the product or equipment which
contains the most suitable service points for charging or recovering the fluorinated greenhouse gas(es).
Safety data sheets of f-gases used in the products are available on demand.

Enclosure A - Electrode Humidifier
A.1 - Electrode humidifier
The operation of immersed electrode humidifiers is based on a very simple physical principle. As common drinking water contains a cer-
tain quantity of dissolved mineral salts, and is consequently slightly conductive, applying a voltage to metal electrodes immersed in the
water creates an electric current that heats the water until producing steam (Joule effect). The quantity of steam produced is proportional
to the electric current, which is in turn proportional to the level of water.
In order to obtain optimum performance from the humidifier it is advisable to read this manual carefully.

There is not reliable relationship between hardness and conductivity of the water
Important:
do not treat the water with softeners, this may cause the entrainment of foam, affecting the operation of the unit;
do not add disinfectants or anticorrosive compounds to the water, as these are potential irritants;
the use of well water, industrial water or water from cooling circuits and, in general, any potentially chemically or bacteriologically
contaminated water is not recommended.
Connection:
For the supply water connection see the details in Fig. 1 (point 11-14)
Drain Water.
This contains the same substances dissolved in the supply water, however in larger quantities;
It may reach a temperature of 100C;
It is not toxic and can be drained into the sewerage system, category 3, EN 1717.
Important:
For drain water connection see details in Fig. 1:
Use a drain hose 32mm, maximum length 10m with minimum 5% gradient, dont make siphon on this hose to avoid back pressures
in the drain piping. For configuration with bigger length or high head consider the PDX option with condensate pump.

Liebert PDX - UM - 265075 - 26.11.2015 A-1

Enclosure A - Electrode Humidifier
Dispose the drain hose into an ordinary drainage network. (the drainage network should have a siphon (see Fig. 1) and must be able
to withstand temperatures up to 100C and able to drain water flow up to 10l/min.
Pay attention in the manual drainage of the steam cylinder if the drainage network isnt able to drain 10 l/min, risk of water overflow
on the humidifier.

A.3 - Start-up and operation
A.3.1 - Start-up
Before using the humidifier, check the following:
Supply and drain connections.
That the cut-off tap is open.
All wiring.
Earthing.
Steam hose connection between steam cylinder and distributor.
To start the humidifier simply switch on the air conditioner, which will in turn automatically start and stop the humidifier as required.
The (adjustable) parameters which determine humidifier operation have already been factory-preset (see iCOM manual).
A.3.2 - Operation
Water contains even a small quantity of salts in solution, is a conductor of electricity. Therefore, if the steam cylinder is filled with water
and a potential difference is applied between the electrodes, the water behaves like an ordinary electrical resistance and becomes hot,
thus creating steam.
The steam production rate can be controlled by varying the water level in the cylinder; the higher the water level, the deeper the electrodes
are immersed into it and the greater the steam production.
Note 1
In case of low water conductivity consult HPAC Technical Sales Support.
Note 2
When starting with an empty cylinder, the water conductivity is normally insufficient for the HUMIDIFIER STEAM OUTPUT to be reached
immediately.
Therefore the humidifier produces as much steam as possible to fill the cylinder completely. Any evaporation water is immediately refilled.
The drain valve is kept shut and therefore, as the steam does not contain any salts, the conductivity of the water within the cylinder slowly
increases until the HUMIDIFIER STEAM OUTPUT is obtained.
The length of the start-up period depends upon the water conductivity. For very conductive water it may occur that the HUMIDIFIER
STEAM OUTPUT is obtained immediately.

A.4 - Maintenance
Important: the cylinder may be hot. Let it cool down before touching it or use protective gloves.
A.4.1 - Cylinder replacement
Completely drain the water contained in the cylinder;
Turn the appliance off and open the disconnect switch on the mains power line (safety procedure);
Remove the steam hose from the cylinder;
Disconnect the electrical connections from the top of the cylinder;
Release the cylinder from the fastening device and lift it up to remove it;
Fit the new cylinder in the humidifier by performing the previous operations in reverse.
A.4.2 - Cylinder maintenance (see cylinder instruction sheet)
The life of the cylinder depends on several factors, including: the complete filling with lime scale and/or the partial or complete corrosion
of the electrodes, the correct use and sizing of the humidifier, the output and the quality of the water, as well as careful and regular main-
tenance. Due to the aging of the plastic and the consumption of the electrodes, even an operable steam cylinder has a limited life and it
is, therefore, recommended to replace it after 5 years or 10,000 operating hours.
Important: the humidifier and its cylinder contain live electrical components and hot surfaces, and therefore all service and/or mainte-
nance operations must be performed by expert and qualified personnel, who are aware of the necessary precautions.
Before performing any operations on the cylinder, check that the humidifier is disconnected from the power supply; carefully read and
follow the instructions contained in the humidifier manual. Remove the cylinder from the humidifier only after having drained it completely.
Check that the model and the power supply voltage of the new cylinder correspond to the one being replaced.
A.4.3 - Periodical checks
After one hour of operation: for both disposable and openable cylinders, check that there are no significant water leaks.
Every fifteen days or no more than 300 operating hours: for both disposable and openable cylinders check operation, that there are
no significant water leaks and the general condition of the casing. Check that during operation there are no arcs or sparks between
the electrodes.
Every three months or no more than 1000 operating hours: for disposable cylinders, check operation, that there are no significant
water leaks and, if necessary, replace the cylinder; for openable cylinders, check that there are no markedly blackened parts on the
casing: if this is the case, check the condition of the electrodes and, if necessary, replace them together with the O-rings and the
cover gasket.
Annually or no more than 2500 operating hours: for disposable cylinders, replace the cylinder; for openable cylinders check opera-
tion, that there are no significant water leaks, the general conditions of the container, check that there are no markedly blackened
parts on the casing; replace the electrodes together with the O-rings and the cover gasket.
After five years or no more than 10,000 operating hours: for both disposable and openable cylinders, replace the cylinder.
After extended use or alternatively when using water with a high salt content, the solid deposits that naturally form on the electrodes
may reach the stage where they also stick to the inside wall of the cylinder; in the event of especially conductive deposits, the con-
sequent heat produced may overheat the plastic and melt it, and, in more severe cases, puncture the cylinder, allowing water to leak
back into the tank.
As a precaution, check, at the frequency recommended further on, for deposits and the blackening of the wall of the cylinder, and replace
the cylinder if necessary.

Enclosure A - Electrode Humidifier
Warning: always disconnect the appliance before touching the cylinder in the event of leaks, as current may be running through the water.
A.4.4 - Replacement and maintenance of other components
Fill solenoid valve: after having disconnected the cables and the tubing, remove the solenoid valve and check the condition of the inlet
filter; clean if necessary using water and a soft brush.
Supply and drain manifold: check that there are no solid residues in the cylinder attachment, remove any impurities. Check that the gasket
(O-ring) is not damaged or cracked; if necessary, replace it.
Drain pump: disconnect the power supply, remove motor body unscrew the fastening three screws; remove any impurities and rinse.
Supply tank & conductivity meter : check that there are no obstructions or solid particles and that the electrodes for measuring the con-
ductivity are clean, remove any impurities and rinse.
Hose kit: check that the hoses are free and do not contain impurities; remove any impurities and rinse.

* ATTENTION Only universal (type B, B+) RCD protective devices are permitted.
NOTES:
The cables have to be sized in compliance with local standards and according to the type and characteristics (e.g. Amperes) of
installation.
The data in the tables do not consider the absorbed current from the condensate pump and for other options not explicitly described.
The specific energy allowed to flow from the circuit breakers, installed by the user, must be lower than 300.000A2 x s.
Prescriptions on the differential relay required to the user:
For special places (healthcare facilities, etc...) comply with the local regulations;
For ordinary places, a low sensitivity is suggested (300 mA) coordinated with the value of the ground heater (IEC 364): Ra 50/
Ia (Art.413.1.4.1, CEI 648 or IEC60364445);
In case of frequent over-voltages with mains impulse, it is advisable to install a selective differential and to evaluate the need
for adopting other devices;
The FLA is for units without the options of condensate pump and condensing unit;
The FLA is for units with AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS only: in manual mode operation the FLA must be lower than the max. cur-
rent of the main switch.

(1) The recommended oil for units with R410A refrigerant is EMKARATE RL 32-3MA.
(2) Unit coupled with remote condenser suggested for ambient temperature up to 35C. With Smart Aisle application increase refrigerant
charge up to 10%. With Hot Gas Reheat option adjust the charge with Hot Gas OFF. The final charge must be precisely defined in field.
(3) For distance D see Fig. 1.
(4) Topping up is requested for short pipeline too, due to the extra-charge of refrigerant.
NOTICE: Check oil level inside compressor, where compressors oil level sight glass is available, after 30 min. of compressor
running at maximum capacity: oil level must be between 1/2 and 3/4 of sight glass.
In tandem compressors the oil level must be checked with both compressors running at maximum capacity (note: when only
one compressor is running, the oil level inside the compressor that is not currently running could be at the minimum and the
compressor, that is running, at the maximum capacity; when one compressor is running at maximum capacity and one com-
pressor is running in modulating capacity, the oil level in the latter one could be between 1/2 and the minimum).
Note: The air conditioner is supplied pressurized with helium at 2 bar.

F. 3 - Start-up and operation
F. 3.1 - Start-up
Before using the humidifier, check the following:
Supply and drain connections.
That the cut-off tap is open.
All wiring.
Earthing.
To start the humidifier simply switch on the air conditioner, which will, in turn, automatically start and stop the humidifier as required.
The (adjustable) parameters which determine humidifier operation have already been factory-preset (see iCOM manual).
F. 3.2 - Operation
During normal humidifier operation, deposits of mineral solids will collect in the humidifier pan and on the float switch. These must be
cleaned periodically to ensure proper operation. Frequency of cleaning must be locally established because it depends on humidifier
usage and local water quality.
A spare pan is recommended to reduce maintenance time at unit. The Liebert autoflush system can greatly increase the time between
cleanings, but does not eliminate the need for periodic checks and maintenance.

F. 4 - Maintenance

WARNING: Optical radiation; the humidifier components may be hot. Let it cool down before touching it or use
protective gloves.
The infrared humidifier contains live electrical components and hot surfaces and therefore all service and/or maintenance operations must
be performed by expert and qualified personnel, who are aware of the necessary precautions.
Before performing any operations, check that the humidifier is disconnected from the power supply; carefully read and follow the instruc-
tions contained in the manual.
F. 4.1 - Cleaning Humidifier Pan and Float Switch
Before turning off unit:
1. With the unit operating, remove call for humidification at the Liebert iCOM control.
2. Let the blower operate 5 minutes to allow the humidifier and water to cool.
3. Turn the unit Off at the Liebert iCOM control.
4. Open the air conditioner door and remove safety panels, if installed.
5. Pull out the humidifier standpipe in pan.
6. Inspect the O-ring (replace if necessary).
7. Let the pan drain and the condensate pump operate (if applicable).

Enclosure G - Ultrasonic Humidifier
G. 1 - Ultrasonic Humidifier
Ultrasonic Humidifier operates on the principle of ultrasonic nebulization. A 48 VAC voltage is rectified on an oscillator circuit and trans-
formed into a high frequency signal of 1.65MHz.
This signal is transmitted to a transducer installed in the water which then transforms the signal into high frequency automatic vibrations.
The built-in transducers also called thickness transducers change their thickness 1.65 million times per second in accordance with the
signal of 1.65 MHz applied.
Ultrasonic Humidifier can work only with demineralized water with conductivity < 5 S/cm (up to 20 S/cm for a short time).
If demineralized water is not available, provide demineralizer (not supplied).
Ultrasonic Humidifier is controlled by a microprocessorbased electronic controller.
It includes control board, driver board and remote display board, all of them housed inside the humidifier electrical panel, located behind
Liebert PDX door.
The functioning logic of the Ultrasonic Humidifier is PROPORTIONAL. The controller comes complete with DSP card which allows to
display and modify all the parameters of the humidifier as well as to detect any abnormal condition via alarm messages.
