Safety Precautions and Measures
The important safety precautions and measures that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance are described in the following sections.

Read the manual prior to installation and operation of the unit. Only qualified personnel should move, install,
or service this equipment.

Before working on the equipment, the user reads and considers all precautions, compliance and safety
measures. The unit control must be used exclusively for the purpose which it is intended for; the
manufacturer takes no liability for incorrect use or a modification to the unit control.

Adhere to all the Warnings and Cautionary measures included in the manual.

Please read this manual carefully before installing, maintaining and troubleshooting; especially the
Warning/Danger/Caution information in the User Guide. Apart from the User Guide, also pay attention
to the warning labels on the unit and its components.

This manual is retained for the entire service life of the unit. The user must read all the precautions, danger,
warnings, and cautionary measures mentioned in the manual prior to carrying out any operations on the unit.
Each unit is equipped with an electric insulation which allows the users to work in safe conditions. The main
switch is positioned in terminal box of the indoor unit. Before any maintenance operation, switch off the unit
with this electrical insulation switch to eliminate risks such as electrical shocks, burns, automatic restarting,
moving parts, and remote control. The protective covers plate on terminal box shall be removed only after the
electric power has been cut off by isolation switch.

In the following sections, notice the various cautionary measures and warnings that need to be read carefully
prior to installing or operating the system.

Disconnect the local and remote power supplies prior to working with the unit.

Prior to the installation process, read all the instructions, verify if all the parts are in place, and check the
nameplate to ensure the voltage matches the available utility power for the unit.

The controller doesn’t isolate power from the unit even in the Off mode, and some internal components still
require and receive power during the Off mode.

Another aspect is the presence of small objects in the fans bay that can result in object ejection during the
fan start-up and there is a probable risk of being hit by these objects resulting in grievous injury and causing
equipment damage.

The unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure. Therefore, the pressure should be relieved before
working with the piping.
Various components such as compressors, refrigerant discharge lines, and humidifiers are extremely hot during
the unit operation (if applicable). Therefore, allow sufficient time for the unit to cool down before working with the
unit cabinet. Handle the unit with extreme caution and wear safety equipment such as protective gloves, safety
shoes, and arm protection while working with the hot compressors, discharge lines, and reheats.

There is a risk of water leaking that can damage both the equipment and the building. Effective water drain
connection and facilities should be available. Installation should be precise. Implementation of the application
and service practices should be appropriate and fault-free. Failure to comply with these norms will result in water
leakage from the unit. Water leakage can lead to massive damage and loss of critical equipment in the hosting
ecosystem. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that the unit is not located directly above any equipment
that could sustain damage due to water and excessive moisture. Use of a leak detection system for the unit and
system supply lines are recommended by Vertiv.

Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power supply disconnect switches,
verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate, OSHA approved personal peotective
equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E before working within the electric control enclosure. Failure to comply
can cause serious injury or death. Customer must provide earth ground to unit and local codes, as
applicable. Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included
and check the nameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power. The Liebert controller
does not isolate power from the unit, even in the Unit Off mode. Some internal components require
and receive power even during the Unit Off mode of the controller. The only way to ensure that there
is No voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote disconnect switch. Refer to unit electrical
schematic. Follow all local codes.

2.6. Indoor Unit Installation Procedure

2.6.1. Equipment Room Requirements

The equipment room must be prepared before installation to ensure a smooth operating flow and to achieve the
expected results. The data center must meet the standards to be properly ventilated and heated. The design
specifications for the air conditioners must be ideal and should correspond to energy-efficient design standards.

Following are the requirements to maintain a favorable room environment prior to the installation.
• The equipment room should have suitable and effective heat insulation. The equipment room should have
a sealed and damp-proof layer. Polyethylene film should be used for the damp-proof layer of the ceiling and
walls. Alternatively, a moisture-proof paint can be used to simulate the same effect as that of Polyethylene. It is
important to ensure that the coating on the concrete wall and floor is damp-proof.
• Outdoor air significantly increases the load of cooling and dehumidification. Therefore, all the doors and
windows must be closed. Gaps and seams must be very narrow to prevent the outdoor air from entering the
equipment room. It is an industry best practice to keep the infiltration of the outdoor air below 5% of the total
indoor airflow. Apply appropriate thermal insulation and antifreeze measures for outdoor water pipes to avoid
poor drainage and insufficient water supply caused by freezing.
• As indoor units are wall mounted, ensure that the mounting wall strength should be rigid enough to support
static and dynamic forces induced during the ideal and working conditions of indoor unit respectively.

• Vertiv recommends that the site preparation is defined as per the requirements. However, if these
requirements are not met, Vertiv recommends that rectifications be made on the site in order to comply
with the specified requirements and conditions.

• However, if the rectifications or modifications are not implemented, then Vertiv does not guarantee the
accuracy and precision of the temperature and humidity provided by the unit.

2.6.2. Installation Space Requirements

Adequate installation space for the indoor unit must be provided. The indoor unit of the air-cooled product must
be installed on the wall of an equipment room or computer room and the outdoor unit must be installed outside
of the data center, open to external ambient. Figure 2-8 indicates the installation location of the indoor unit.

• Do not use the indoor unit in the open and severe outdoor environment.

• Avoid locating the indoor unit in concave or narrow areas, which can obstruct the airflow, shorten the
cooling cycle and result in air return short cycle and air noise.

• Avoid locating multiple indoor units close to each other which can result in the short cycle of air and cre-
ate the load imbalance. The minimum distance between adjacent units is 600 mm.

• Do not install the unit within the vicinity of any other precision cooling equipment to avoid the leakage of
condensed water produced due to imbalance load conditions.

• Do not install other devices (such as smoke detectorx) over the indoor cabinet.

Vertiv™ Liebert® SRC-G can generate condensate water. Water leakage can cause damage to other equipment
nearby. Do not install the units in the vicinity of any precision equipment. The installation site must have the
facility of drainage piping.

2.6.3. Indoor Unit Installation

Two mounting brackets are supplied in the installation kit of the unit, these brackets are sized according to the
dimensions, weight, and height of the indoor unit models. Figure 2-9 and Table 2-4 provide the dimensional
details of the indoor unit.

2.8. Refrigeration Piping Connection General Principles

1. Copper pipes with quick thread connectors are used to connect the indoor and the outdoor units. If the pipe
length exceeds the standard pipe length given in the Table 2-7 and straight copper pipe is used, then each
joint of the piping must be brazed properly. Charge the copper piping with nitrogen gas during the brazing
process to prevent it from oxidation.

2. The selection, placement, and fixing of piping, evacuating the refrigerant from the system and refrigerant
charging are required to operate according to industry standards.

3. The parameters such as pipeline pressure drop, compressor return oil, noise reduction, and vibration should
be considered when designing and constructing process.

4. If the equivalent length exceeds 60 m, or the vertical height difference between the indoor and the outdoor
units exceeds the values given in Table 2-8, consult Vertiv local representative for technical support before
installation and if any modification is required.

5. The equivalent lengths of the components are shown in Table 2-9, and the resistance losses caused by the
elbows and valves have been taken into account. Consult Vertiv representative to confirm the suitability as
per the site conditions.

2.8.1. Quick Thread Connector Installation Notes

Refer to the following procedure when connecting the quick thread connector:

1. Remove dust-proof caps

2. Carefully clean the coupling seats and threaded surface of the connector with a clean cloth

3. Lubricate the male thread with lubricant oil

4. Thread the coupling halves together by hand to ensure that the threads mate properly

5. Tighten the coupling body’s hexagon nut and union valve until a definite resistance is felt

6. Use a marking pen to draw a line lengthwise from the coupling union nut to the bulkhead. Tighten the nuts an
additional quarter turn with two wrenches

7. The misalignment of the lines shows how much the coupling has been tightened

• Care must be taken while performing this operation to avoid any damage to the connector threading.

• Two wrenches must be used to cooperate with each other during connection because one wrench can
damage the coupling copper lines easily.

The recommended torque values are listed in Table 2-10.

Table 2-10 Recommended Torque Value
Coupling Size Torque Value (N.m)
5/8” 7 to 8
1/2” 15 to 18
3/4”, 7/8” 25 to 32

2.8.2. Piping Connection Requirements

Refer to Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3; the required piping connections are as follows:
• Refrigerant piping between the indoor and the outdoor units (gas and liquid piping).
• Drain piping connections of the indoor unit.

Prior to the start-up, ensure that all the piping connections have been completed and there is no leakage in
the system.

Vertiv™ Liebert® SRC-G User Manual 27

 Mechanical Installation

2.8.3. Connecting Refrigerant Piping

• The pipe should be installed and removed with care so that it will not get damaged. Use tube benders and
make all bends before connecting the refrigerant piping of the indoor and the outdoor units.

• If brazing is required, all refrigerant piping should be connected with silver-brazed joints. The copper pipe is
filled with nitrogen gas during the brazing process to prevent oxidation of the copper piping.

• Prior to use, check piping supports, leakage testing, dehydration of refrigerant pipes, and evacuation. Use
vibration isolating support to isolate the refrigeration piping from the building.

• Use a soft and flexible material to pack around the piping to protect them when sealing openings in walls and
to reduce vibration transmission.

• When installing the outdoor unit 5 m higher than the indoor unit, the trap should be installed on the gas pipe
(Oil trap). This trap will retain lubricant oil in the off-cycle of the compressor. When the compressor starts, oil
in the trap will be carried up the vertical riser and return to the compressor immediately.

• If the piping equivalent length exceeds 30 m then the ‘Long piping kit’ should be added.
• If the equivalent pipe length exceeds 60 m, please consult Vertiv local representative for details.
• Copper pipe with outer diameter of 16/13 mm, wall thickness requirement is 0.8 mm; copper pipe with outer
diameter of 10 mm, wall thickness requirement is 0.6 mm.

2.10.2. Adding Refrigerant for Long Piping System

Under the condition of the standard pipe length (within 10 m) there is no need to charge the refrigerant in the
indoor unit. If the pipe length exceeds 10 m then Liebert® SRC-G series can be charged with reference to the
recommended refrigerant charging amount. Add refrigerant to the system in order to ensure normal system
operation according to the following formula:

Adding refrigerant amount (kg) = Adding refrigerant amount per meter of liquid pipe (kg/m) × Total length
of extended liquid pipe (m).

• The air in the hose connected to the composite pressure gauge is vacuumed.

• If the pipe length exceed 10 m, then refrigerant cylinder is kept up-side-down (depending on the size of the
cylinder, consult Vertiv local representative for details) during the charging of the refrigerant to ensure that
the refrigerant is charged into the refrigeration system in a liquid state.

• After the mechanical installation, electrical installation, and pre-commissioning inspection of the unit is
completed, the unit is turned on and the unit system is charged with liquid refrigerant.

• For your personal health, please wear earmuffs or earplugs and other equipment to protect your hearing
after entering the computer room.

• Observe the compressor suction line to ensure that the piping and compressor housing are free of
condensation to eliminate potential liquid impact hazards.

• On successful charging of gas, suction superheat will be 10 K and condenser sub-cooling is 5 K.

The adding refrigerant amount per meter of liquid pipe is given as

Total length of extended liquid pipe (m) = Total length of liquid pipe - 10 m

The amount of refrigerant required for SRC03GES is 50 g/m per meter length of pipe, for SRC07GES and
SRC07GET is 55 g/m per meter length of pipe and SRC11GET 60 g/m.

2.10.3. Long Connecting Pipe System with Lubricant Oil

The charging of refrigerant can dilute the lubricant oil in the system and affects the lubricating and cooling
properties of the lubricant oil. Therefore, the lubricant oil should be added in the beginning. The lubricant oil used
in the Liebert® SRC-G units for SRC03GES is HAF68D1C, and for SRC07GES, SRC07GET and SRC11GET
is POE RL 32-3MAF:

The adding lubricant oil amount for the liquid piping length more than 10 m.

Amount of additional lubricant oil (ml) = Adding refrigerant amount (kg) x 22.6

Vertiv™ Liebert® SRC-G User Manual 32

 Mechanical Installation

• A certain type of POE lubricant that is directly supplied by Vertiv must be used, otherwise the compressor
may get damaged. When charging the refrigeration system with oil, consult Vertiv representative for more
details on adding the lubricant oil.

• Adding inferior or incorrect type of lubricant oil will damage the system, so the problems caused due to
quality are not covered by the warranty.

• Do not use inferior quality refrigerant.

• For any consequences resulting from inferior quality refrigerant, Vertiv does not assume warranty
responsibility. Select the type of lubricant oil in accordance with the compressor manufacturer’s
specification.

This feature is applicable in following operation modes.
• Scheduling
In this mode, some of the units in network can be set off as a standby and rest of the units regulate temperature
and humidity of the room. Once rotation time is over, next set of units start operation, and previously operating
units switch to rest.
• Contingency
In this mode, if there is an alarm in the operating unit then standby unit takes over automatically and faulty unit is
set out of operation for maintenance. Once the faulty is removed, it can set back to operation based on schedule.
• Cascading
In this mode, if rise in the steep temperature is detect, all units start operating together, to control tem-
perature as per the setpoints.

Sequencing mode

All units in the network should be connected as given in Chapter 3, Connection Section 3.4.1.

To establish the network, all units are designated with independent Unit ID starting from 0 to 7. Unit with ID ‘0’
is assigned as a master and rest of the units are slave. In case of fault with master unit, next lowest ID unit is
promoted as a master. Once the unit is out of fault it can again resume as a master.

Visually inspect the control board, power detection board, outdoor fan speed controller board, display panel,
temperature and humidity sensor, infrared humidification leak detection board on a semi-annual basis for any
loose electrical connection and circuit corrosion.

The microprocessor controller has six circuit boards, which jointly complete the system fault diagnosis process.

Inspect the boards one by one according to the procedures below:

1. Conduct overall electrical insulation test: Find out the unqualified contacts and handle them carefully.

2. Statically check and test the contactors before power On and ensure that contactors can act freely without
any obstruction.

3. Clean the electrical and control components with a brush or compressed dry air.

4. Check the end of contactors for arcs or signs of burning. Replace the contactor if necessary.

5. Fasten all the electrical connection terminals.

6. Check if the temperature of all MCBs and contactor terminals become higher.

• All circuit boards are not hot-pluggable. Big instant current will be produced when the board is plugged or
unplugged with powering On and it may lead to unrepairable damage to the circuit.

• All control boards can only be maintained after the micro-processing controller is powered Off.

6.2.2. Fan

The monthly inspection particulars of the fan kit include: fan status, fan kit fixation, and clearance between fan
impeller and inlet nozzle. Inspect the motor bearings and impeller monthly; and replace it if any damaged found
in impeller. Check the impeller is tightly mounted on the rotor of the motor and does not obstruct against its
neighboring metal components during rotation.

Since the fan kit operates 24hours every day continuously, any unusual airflow obstruction must be cleared in
time to avoid the damage to the cooling system. This unusual airflow obstruction can also affect to the other
system components due to reduction in air volume. Refer Figure 6-2 for better understanding.

6.2.4. Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV)

The Thermal Expansion Valve keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy load conditions.
Its proper operation can be determined by measuring the superheat level. The correct superheat setting is
5.6 °C to 8.3 °C (10 °F to 15 °F).

6.3. Outdoor Unit Maintenance

6.3.1. Refrigeration System

The components of the refrigerant system should be inspected monthly to find out any abnormal operation
phenomenon. Refrigerant piping must be properly fixed and not allowed to vibrate against wall, floor or the unit
frame. Inspect all refrigerant piping every six months for signs of wear.

6.3.2. Air-cooled Condenser

• When the airflow through the outdoor unit is restricted or blocked, use compressed air or fin cleaner
(alkalescence) to clean the condenser off the dust and debris that reduce airflow.

• The compressed air should be blown at the reversed airflow direction. In winter, do not let snow to accumulate
around the side or underneath the condenser.

• Check for bent or damaged fins and simply repair them if necessary.

• Check all refrigerant pipes and capillaries for vibration and support them if necessary.

• Carefully inspect all refrigerant piping for signs of oil leakage, determine the leakage position and fixed them
immediately.

6.3.3. High-Pressure Switch and Low-Pressure Switch

The discharge and suction pressures will vary greatly with the unit load, ambient condition and used refrigerant,
refer Table 6-1 for details of normal operation. When the discharge pressure rises to the high-pressure setpoint,
the high-pressure switch gets activated and the control system shuts down the compressor after ensuring that
an abnormal input signal of the high-pressure switch is triggered.

When the suction pressure is lower than the low-pressure setting, the low-pressure switch gets activated and the
control system shuts down the cooling system after confirmation.

 System Operation and Maintenance

6.3.4. Compressor

The compressor fault is generally classified into two types:

1. Motor failure (such as winding burnout, insulation failure, short-circuit between coils and so on)

2. Mechanical failure (such as compressing failure, relief valve fault, therm-o-disc fault and so on)

No. Description No Description

Figure 6-4 Location of Compressor

If the sufficient operating pressure is not established, it is an indication of the compressor has failed. It can be
confirmed - if the suction pressure and discharge pressure are balanced, and the motor does not rotate reversely.

The controller of the unit has a powerful alarm and protection functions to ensure safe operation of the
compressor. The maintenance personnel should record the high pressure and the low pressure, and find out the
cause of an alarm protection during periodical maintenance and inspection.

Avoid touching or contacting the residual gas and oils in compressor with exposed skin. Wear long rubber
gloves to handle contaminated components.

Check the following particulars before replacing the compressor

Vertiv™ Liebert® SRC-G User Manual 70

 System Operation and Maintenance

1. Check that all fuses and circuit breakers are normal

2. Check the working status of the high and low pressure switches

3. Check the relative historical alarm information

4. Check the compressor operation record

5. Check the motor electrical characteristic

System contains refrigerant. Recover refrigerant using standard recovery equipment before maintenance.

Refer the following procedure to remove and replace the failed compressor

1. Cut off the power supply

2. Attach suction and discharge gauges to compressor access fitting

3. Recover the residual refrigerant by using standard recovery procedures

4. Remove the failed compressor

5. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to clean out piping kit

6. Install replaced compressor and make all connections, perform pressurization, and leakage tests of the system
at approximately 150 psig (1034 kPa)

7. Evacuate the system twice to 1500 microns and the third time to 500 microns. Break the vacuum each time
with clean and dry refrigerant to 2 psig (13.8 kPa)

8. Charge the system with refrigerant based on the requirements of the evaporator, condenser and piping

9. Apply power and operate the AC unit. To check the proper operation, refer the circulation suction pressure
and discharge pressure are in normal operation ranges, and if necessary add some more refrigerant

Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment. Refrigerant must be recycled in
accordance with state and local regulations.
