 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of the Liebert® Mini-Mate2. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or
operate this unit.

Only qualified personnel should move, install or service this equipment.

Adhere to all warnings, cautions, notices and installation, operating and safety instructions on the unit
and in this manual. Follow all installation, operation and maintenance instructions and all applicable
national and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.

WARNING! 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 protective 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, per NEC, CEC 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.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Open all local
and remote electric power supply disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power is
off before working within any electric connection enclosures. Service and maintenance work
must be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel and in accordance with
applicable regulations and manufacturers’ specifications. Opening or removing the covers to
any equipment may expose personnel to lethal voltages within the unit even when it is
apparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected from the electrical source.

1 Important Safety Instructions 1

 WARNING! Risk of over-pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause piping rupture,
explosive discharge of high-pressure refrigerant, loss of refrigerant, environmental pollution,
equipment damage, injury, or death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure.
Use extreme caution when charging the refrigerant system. Do not pressurize the system
higher than the design pressure marked on the unit's nameplate. Relieve pressure before
cutting into or making connections/disconnections to the piping system. Local building or
plumbing codes may require installing a pressure-relief device in the system.

Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure-
relief devices when isolation valves are field installed. Do not isolate any refrigerant circuits
from over pressurization protection. The PFH condensing units include a factory-installed
pressure-relief valve mounted on top of the receiver. The valve is rated for a maximum working
pressure of 475 psig.

WARNING! Risk of contact with high-speed, rotating fan blades. Can cause injury or death.
Open all local and remote electric power-supply disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter
that power is off, and verify that all fan blades have stopped rotating before working in the unit
cabinet.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause serious injury or death. The microprocessor 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 control. Open all local and remote
electric power disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power is Off before working
on any component of the system.

WARNING! Risk of improper wiring, piping, moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipment
damage, serious injury or death. Installation and service of this equipment should be done only
by qualified personnel, wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE, who have been specially-
trained in the installation of air-conditioning equipment.

WARNING! Risk of improper wire and loose electrical connections. Can cause overheated wire
and electrical connection terminals resulting in smoke, fire, equipment and building damage,
injury or death. Use correctly sized copper wire only and verify that all electrical connections are
tight before turning power On. Check all electrical connections periodically and tighten as
necessary.

WARNING! Risk of ceiling collapse and heavy unit falling. Can cause building and equipment
damage, serious injury or death. Verify that the supporting roof structure is capable of
supporting the weight of the unit(s) and the accessories. See Table 3.5 on page 19, for the unit
weights. Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods and verify that all nuts are tight.

2 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 WARNING! Risk of smoke and fire. Can cause activation of fire suppression systems, building
evacuation, dispatching of fire/rescue equipment and personnel and catastrophic canister
failure resulting in water leaks, equipment damage, injury or death. Using a humidifier canister
that has reached the end of it’s service life can be extremely hazardous. If the canister cannot
be replaced immediately at the end of life condition, turn Off the power and water supply to the
humidifier and remove the canister until a replacement canister can be installed. Do not ignore
humidifier problem alarms. Resetting humidifier without addressing cause may result in fire or
damage due to leaking water.

CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause tubing and component
rupture resulting in equipment damage and personal injury. Do not close off any field-installed
refrigerant-line isolation valve for repairs unless a pressure-relief valve is field- installed in the
line between the isolation valve and the check valve. The pressure-relief valve must be rated 5%
to 10% higher than the system-design pressure. An increase in ambient temperature can cause
the pressure of the isolated refrigerant to rise and exceed the system-design pressure rating
(marked on the unit nameplate).

CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters, and exposed fasteners. Can cause
injury. Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE
should attempt to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.

CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The compressor, refrigerant
discharge lines, fan motor, and some electrical components are extremely hot during unit
operation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool to a touch-safe temperature before working
within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE when
working on or near hot components.

CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause burn injury. The humidifier canister
and steam discharge lines are extremely hot during operation. Allow sufficient time for them to
cool to a touch-safe temperature before handling. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate,
OSHA-approved PPE when performing maintenance on the humidifier.

CAUTION: Risk of contacting caustic substances. Can cause injury. Avoid touching or
contacting the gas and oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Wear appropriate,
OSHA-approved PPE when handling contaminated parts.

1 Important Safety Instructions 3

 CAUTION: Risk of the grille falling. Can cause equipment damage or injury. Do not allow the
weight of the unit to rest on the grilles.

NOTICE

Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.

Liebert® Mini-Mate2 DX systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs water
at a much faster rate when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is the
enemy of a reliable refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systems
during installation or service. If water is absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed
and will not be removed through the normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may
require an oil change. POE oils also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a
refrigeration system. Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will
tend to bring any foreign matter back to the compressor.
NOTICE

Risk of clogged or leaking drain lines and leaking water-supply lines. Can cause equipment and
building damage.

This unit requires a water drain connection. Drain lines must be inspected at start-up and
periodically, and maintenance must be performed to ensure that drain water runs freely
through the drain system and that lines are clear and free of obstructions and in good
condition with no visible sign of damage or leaks. This unit may also require an external water
supply to operate.

Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Water leakage can result in catastrophic and expensive building and equipment damage
and loss of critical data center equipment.

Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.

We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system to immediately discover and

report coolant-fluid system and condensate drain-line leaks.
NOTICE

Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.

Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Do not mount this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking
water. Install a water-tight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the
ceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the drain line to a frequently-used
maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a timely manner.
Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and in
the secondary drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup,
obstructions, kinks and/or damage and verify that they are free running.

 NOTICE

Risk of piping-system corrosion and freezing fluids. Can cause leaks resulting in equipment
and very expensive building damage. Cooling coils and piping systems are at high risk of
freezing and premature corrosion. Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreeze
and inhibitors to prevent freezing and premature coil and piping corrosion. The water or
water/glycol solution must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist before
start up to establish the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularly
scheduled intervals throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitor
depletion.

The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required
treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.

Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors, that
reduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The chemistry
of the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may contain corrosive
elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation. Sediment deposits prevent
the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the coolant system components and
piping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and circulating through the system
continuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and or growth of sulfate reducing
bacteria.

Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.
Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.

Commercial ethylene glycol, when pure, is generally less corrosive to the common metals of
construction than water itself. It will, however, assume the corrosivity of the water from which it
is prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with use if not properly inhibited.

We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system that is wired to activate the

automatic-closure of field-installed coolant-fluid supply and return shut-off valves to reduce
the amount of coolant-fluid leakage and consequential equipment and building damage. The
shut-off valves must be sized to close-off against the maximum coolant-fluid system pressure
in case of a catastrophic fluid leak.
NOTICE

Risk of frozen pipes and corrosion from improper coolant mixture. Can cause water leaks
resulting in equipment and building damage.

When piping or the cooling unit may be exposed to freezing temperatures, charge the system
with the proper percentage of glycol and water for the coldest design ambient temperature.
Automotive antifreeze is unacceptable and must NOT be used in any glycol fluid system. Use
only HVAC glycol solution that meets the requirements of recommended industry practices.

1 Important Safety Instructions 5

 NOTICE

Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage. Do not leave the water/coolant fluid-
supply circuit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows the collection of sediment that prevents
the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of tubes. Keep unit switched On and
water/coolant fluid-supply circuit system operating continuously.
NOTICE

Risk of improper water supply. Can reduce humidifier efficiency or obstruct humidifier
plumbing.

Do not use completely demineralized water with this unit. The water must contain minerals for
the electrode principle to work.

Do not use a hot water source. It will cause deposits that will eventually block the fill-valve
opening.
NOTICE

Risk of water backing up in the drain line. Leaking and overflowing water can cause equipment
and building damage.

Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory-installed trap
inside the cabinet. Installation of a second trap will prevent drain-water flow and will cause the
water to overflow the drain pan.

This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handling
boiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an
external trap.
NOTICE

Risk of doorway/hallway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may
be too large to fit through a doorway or hallway while on the skid. Measure the unit and
passageway dimensions, and refer to the installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify
clearances.
NOTICE

Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a
height suitable to fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
NOTICE

Risk of improper storage. Can cause unit damage.

Keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from dampness, freezing temperatures and
contact damage.

3.2 Room Preparation

The room should be well insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the ceiling
and walls can be a polyethylene film. Paint on concrete walls and floors should be vapor resistant.

NOTE: The vapor barrier is the single most important requirement for maintaining environmental
control in the conditioned area.

Outside or fresh air should be kept to a minimum when tight temperature and humidity control is
required. Outside air adds to the site’s cooling, heating, dehumidifying and humidifying loads. Doors
should be properly sealed to minimize leaks and should not contain ventilation grilles.

NOTE: Temperature and humidity sensors are located in the wall box. Proper and efficient cooling
requires placing the wall box where discharge air does not directly blow on the sensors.

3.4 Location Considerations

When determining installation locations, consider that these units contain water and that water leaks can
cause damage to sensitive equipment and furniture below.
NOTICE

Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.

Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Do not mount this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking
water. Install a water-tight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the
ceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the drain line to a frequently-used
maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a timely manner.
Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and in
the secondary drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup,
obstructions, kinks and/or damage and verify that they are free running.

 3.4.1 Location Considerations for an Outdoor Condensing Unit
For a split system with an air-cooled, outdoor condensing unit, the condensing unit may be mounted on
the roof or remotely in any outdoor area.

Observe the following when planning the installation of the outdoor unit:

• To ensure a satisfactory air supply, locate air-cooled condensing units in an environment with
clear air, away from loose dirt and foreign matter that may clog the coil.
• Condensing units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts or
closer than 18 inches from a wall, obstruction or adjacent unit.
• Avoid areas where heavy snow will accumulate at air inlet and discharge locations.
• The condensing unit should be located for maximum security and maintenance accessibility.
Avoid ground-level sites with public access. Install a solid base, capable of supporting the
weight of the condensing unit.
• The base should be at least 2 in. (51 mm) higher than the surrounding grade and 2 in. (51 mm)
larger than the dimensions of the condensing-unit base. For snowy areas, a base of sufficient
height to clear snow accumulation must be installed.
• Securely attach the unit to the base using the holes provided in the unit mounting rails to
prevent unit movement that might stress refrigerant piping and electrical wiring.

Before beginning, refer to Piping and Refrigerant Requirements on page 27 for unit placement, piping
guidelines, and refrigerant-charge requirements for your system.

The condensing unit must be located within the maximum distance from evaporator guidelines listed in
Table 5.6 on page 35.

 4 INSTALLATION
Refer to the appropriate installation procedures depending the configuration and options of your
Liebert® Mini-Mate2 Thermal Management System.

4.1 Installing Ceiling-mounted Units

WARNING! Risk of ceiling collapse and heavy unit falling. Can cause building and equipment
damage, serious injury or death. Verify that the supporting roof structure is capable of
supporting the weight of the unit(s) and the accessories. See Table 3.5 on page 19, for the unit
weights. Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods and verify that all nuts are tight.

NOTICE

Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.

Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Do not mount this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking
water. Install a water-tight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit and the
ceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the drain line to a frequently-used
maintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a timely manner.
Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and in
the secondary drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup,
obstructions, kinks and/or damage and verify that they are free running.

4.1.1 Installing Suspension Rods and Mounting Ceiling Units

Refer to the Location Considerations on page 18 before beginning installation. These instructions apply to
evaporators, indoor air-cooled condensing units, and indoor water/glycol-cooled condensing units.

NOTE: Follow all national and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.

• The ceiling and ceiling supports of existing buildings may require reinforcements.
• Four 3/8-in.-16 TPI threaded suspension rods are required and field supplied.
• The factory-supplied 3/8-in.-16 TPI hardware kit includes the remaining installation hardware.
• Recommended clearance between ceiling grids and building structural members is the unit’s
height plus 3 in. (76 mm).
To install the suspension rods:

1. Install the 4 field-supplied 3/8-in.-16 TPI threaded rods by suspending them from suitable
building structural members so that they will align with the 4 mounting locations on the unit
base.
2. Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods with field-supplied nuts.
3. Make sure all nuts are tight and locked.

4 Installation 21
 To lift and install the unit on the rods:

1. Using a suitable lifting device that is rated for the weight of the unit (see Indoor Unit Weights
on page 19), raise the unit and pass the threaded rods through the 4 mounting locations in the
unit base.
2. Attach the threaded rods to the flanges using the plain nuts to hold the unit in place as shown
in Figure 4.1 below.
3. Slowly lower the lifting device, making sure that the rods securely hold the weight of the unit.
4. Adjust the plain nuts to distribute the weight of the unit evenly by the rods, making sure that
the unit does not rest on the ceiling grid and that the unit is level.

NOTE: Evaporator units must be level to properly drain condensate. This does not apply to condensing
units.

5. Use the Nylock nuts to "jam" the plain nuts in place as shown in Figure 4.1 below.

4.2 Installing Air-distribution Components for Evaporators

Your indoor units may include a filter box, ducting, plenums, and grilles. Refer to the appropriate
installation procedures for each.

22 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 4.2.1 Installing a Filter Box
The optional filter box attaches directly to the return-air opening of the evaporator. The filter box
includes 1 filter, 16 in. x 20 in. x 4 in. (406 mm x 508 mm x 102 mm).

NOTE: Do not operate the unit without filters installed in return air system.

Grille Installation

CAUTION: Risk of the grille falling. Can cause equipment damage or injury. Do not allow the
weight of the unit to rest on the grilles.

The airflow grilles are directional devices and MUST be installed with the louvers properly aligned for unit
to operate properly. An air baffle is included with the grille kit and must be installed to ensure proper air
distribution.
To install the grilles:

1. Refer to the instructions included with the kit, and locate the return and discharge grilles.
2. Lower the grilles into place with the louvers in the proper direction. If required, grilles may be
screwed directly to the sub-base.
3. Install a field-supplied T-bar between the two grilles.
4. Install the disposable filter (20 in. x 20 in. x 1 in.) in the return grille.
5. Lower the evaporator unit until the gasket material is compressed 1/4 in. (6 mm).

NOTE: Do not operate the unit without the filter installed in the return air grille.

4 Installation 23
 4.2.2 Guidelines for Ducted Systems
Observe the following for all ductwork:

• Duct work should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local and national codes
• Use flexible ductwork or nonflammable cloth collars to attach ductwork to the unit and to
control vibration transmission to the building.
• Attach the ductwork to the unit using the flanges provided.
• Locate the unit and ductwork so that the discharge air does not short-circuit to the return-air
inlet.
• Duct work that runs through a conditioned space or is exposed to areas where condensation
may occur must be insulated. Insulation of ductwork is vital to prevent condensation during
the cooling cycle.
• The use of a vapor barrier is required to prevent absorption of moisture from the surrounding
air into the insulation.
• If the return-air duct is short or if noise is likely to be a problem, sound-absorbing insulation
should be used inside the duct.
• Duct work should be suspended using flexible hangers. Duct work should not be fastened
directly to the building structure.
• For multiple-unit installations, space the units so that the hot condensing unit exhaust air is
not directed toward the air inlet of an adjacent unit.

Consider the following in specific applications of ductwork to evaporator or chilled-water units:

• The total external static pressure for the inlet and outlet ducts, including grille, must not
exceed 0.5 in. of water.

Consider the following in specific applications of ductwork to condensing units:

• In applications where the ceiling plenum is used as the heat rejection domain, the discharge air
must be directed away from the condensing unit air inlet and a screen must be added to the
end of the discharge duct to protect service personnel. Locate the air discharge a minimum of
4 ft from an adjacent wall. Failure to do so may result in reduced air flow and poor system
performance.
• If the condensing unit draws air from the outside of the building, rain hoods must be installed.
Hood intake and duct-work cross-sectional area dimensions should be equal-to or greater-
than the area of the condensing unit intake flange. In addition, install a triple-layer bird screen
over rain hood openings to eliminate the possibility of insects, birds, water, or debris entering
the unit. Avoid directing the hot exhaust air toward adjacent doors or windows.
• Duct work should be designed for 950 CFM (1614 CMH).

24 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 4.3 Installing Condensing-fan Module on Self-contained Air-cooled Systems
1-ton and 1.5-ton capacity, self-contained, air-cooled units use a centrifugal blower in a housing attached
directly to the right end of the ceiling-mounted unit.

• Mounting holes are pre-cut at the factory and fasteners are provided.
• A wiring harness is included for the power and control connections between unit blower.
• A capillary tube is included for fan-speed control.

Read all instructions before installing the blower.

NOTICE

Risk of punctured refrigerant lines. Can cause sudden loss of refrigerant and cooling.

During mounting of external disconnect switch, take special care that no refrigerant lines are
punctured or damaged.
To mount the blower on the unit:

1. Before you begin, make sure that the model number of the kit matches the voltage on the unit
nameplate because an improper voltage will damage the blower.
2. On the unit, remove the knockouts for the blower wire harness and fan-speed-control capillary
tube.
3. Referring to Figure 4.2 on the next page, remove the following screws, but do not remove the
two screws (item 7) , from either side:
• The three screws (item 2) along the top cover of the unit.
• The two screws from the upper-right and upper-left side of the condenser-coil opening.
4. With the flanges on the top and sides of the blower and the access door toward the front of the
unit, place the top flange under the top cover and align the holes in the flange with the holes
and threaded studs in the unit.
5. Secure the blower to the unit with 4 screws and flange nuts (item 6) on the sides (2
screws/flange nuts each side), and 3 screws (item 2) along the top of the blower.

NOTE: Do not use a drill to install the screws. The drill bit will damage the coil.

6. Install the bushing (item 4) for the capillary tube, route the capillary tube through the bushing
and through the knockout (item 8) to the Schrader access valve on the discharge line inside
the unit, and screw the end of the capillary tube onto the valve making sure that there are no
leaks.
7. Refer to Condensing-fan Blower Electrical, Control and Power Connections on page 46, and
DPN000177, included in the Submittal Drawings on page 101 to connect the blower wire

 5 PIPING AND REFRIGERANT REQUIREMENTS
All field-supplied refrigeration piping to the unit must be sweat copper. Use prevailing good piping
practices for all connections which include brazing copper pipes using a brazing alloy of minimum
temperature of 1350 °F (732 °C) and adhering to all local codes. All other fluid connections to units, with
the exception of the condensate drain, are sweat copper. Factory-installed piping brackets must not be
removed. Field-installed piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and must be properly
assembled, supported, isolated and insulated. Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas, such as
office walls and conference rooms.

The following pipe connections are required:

• A drain line from the evaporator coil drain pan.

• A drain line from the secondary drain pan (if applicable).
• A water-supply line to the optional humidifier (if applicable).
• On split-systems systems: refrigerant piping connections between the evaporator unit and the
condensing unit.
• On chilled-water systems: connections to the building chilled-water source. See Chilled-water
Loop Piping on page 31, for additional requirements.
• On water/glycol systems: connections to a water or glycol loop. See Water/Glycol Loop Piping
on page 32, for additional requirements.

Refer to specific text and detailed diagrams in this manual for other unit-specific piping requirements.

The pipe connection locations, piping general arrangement and schematics are described in the
submittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings on page 101.

5 Piping and Refrigerant Requirements 27

 5.1 Fluid Piping Required
5.1.1 Drain Line Installation Requirements
NOTICE

Risk of water backing up in the drain line. Leaking and overflowing water can cause equipment
and building damage.

Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory-installed trap
inside the cabinet. Installation of a second trap will prevent drain-water flow and will cause the
water to overflow the drain pan.

This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handling
boiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create an
external trap.

A 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) NPT-female connection is provided for the evaporator-unit condensate drain. This
connection also drains the humidifier if applicable. The evaporator drain pan includes a float switch to
prevent unit operation if the drain becomes blocked.

28 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 Observe the following requirements and refer to Figure 5.1 below, when installing and routing the drain
line:

• The drain line must be sized for 2 gpm (7.6 l/m) flow.
• The drain line must be located so it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
• The drain should be the full size of the drain connection.
• The drain line must slope continuously away from the unit.
• Do not externally-trap the drain line.
• The drain line must be rigid enough that it does not sag between supports, which
unintentionally creates traps.
• Use copper or other material suitable for draining water that can reach temperatures up to
212°F (100°C).
• When the evaporator is installed below the level of the gravity-fed drain line, the optional
condensate pump kit is required. See Condensate-drain Pump Kit on the next page.

NOTE: Remove the shipping band from the float switch in the evaporator pan before operating the
unit.

 5.1.2 Condensate-drain Pump Kit

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Open all local
and remote electric power supply disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power is
off before working within any electric connection enclosures. Service and maintenance work
must be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel and in accordance with
applicable regulations and manufacturers’ specifications. Opening or removing the covers to
any equipment may expose personnel to lethal voltages within the unit even when it is
apparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected from the electrical source.

The optional condensate pump kit is required when the evaporator is installed below the level of the
gravity-fed drain line. The condensate pump is field-installed alongside the evaporator unit.

Table 5.4 Condensate-drain Pump Drawings

Document Number Title

DPN000174 Field-installed pump connection

To install the condensate-drain pump:

1. Refer to the instructions and drawings supplied with the pump. The preferred mounting
method is to attach the pump to the unit with the mounting-bracket kit instead of mounting
the pump to duct work.
2. Disconnect all power to the unit.
3. Remove the access panels.

NOTE: Remove the shipping band from the float switch in the evaporator pan.

4. Use mounting brackets if the pump is not attached to ductwork.

5. The pump inlet must be at least 1/2 in. (13 mm) below the evaporator drain. Mount the pump to
the unit exterior as shown the piping-connection diagram for your unit, see Table 5.4 above.
6. Connect 3/4 in. flexible rubber tubing with a hose clamp (both supplied with pump kit) to the
3/4 in. hose barb fitting on the pump.
7. Connect the evaporator drain to 3/4 in. NPT female hose assembly on the pump inlet using 3/4
in. hard pipe. Do not install a trap in the line. Provide at least 1 in. (25 mm) clearance between
the access panel and the drain line. Support the piping as required.
8. Connect a drain line to the pump discharge 3/8 in. O.D. Cu (compression fitting provided).
9. Connect electric leads L1 and L2 to the unit line-voltage terminal block. Connect the ground
lead to the lug near the terminal block.
10. Connect wires from the auxiliary pump contacts to unit terminals TB1-8 and TB1-9 to enable
unit shut down upon high-water condition in the pump.
11. Reinstall the access panels.
12. Reconnect power to the unit.
13. Run the unit to make sure the pump works properly. Operate the pump and check the drain
line and discharge line for leaks. Correct as needed.

NOTE: 3/4-in. flexible rubber tubing assembly (supplied with pump kit) must be installed on pump end
of rigid piping (field-provided and supported as required).

30 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 5.1.3 Water-supply line to the Humidifier
Units supplied with the optional humidifier package have a 1/4-in. (6.2-mm) OD copper compression
fitting with ferrule at the water-supply connection.

• The supply pressure range is 10 psig to 150 psig (69 to 1034 kPag).
• The required flow rate is 1 gpm (3.8 lpm).
• Install a shut-off valve in the supply line to isolate the humidifier for maintenance.

NOTE: Do not route humidifier water-supply line in front of the filter-box access panel.
To install the water supply:

1. Cut the tube square and remove any burrs.

2. Slide nut, then the sleeve on tube. The threaded end of the nut faces the end of the tube.
3. Insert the tube into the fitting, seating it against the stop shoulder and tighten the nut hand-
tight to the body.
4. Use a wrench to tighten the nut 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 turns.
NOTICE

Risk of improper tightening of the piping fittings. Can damage fittings and cause leaks.

Use caution not to over-tighten or under-tighten the piping fittings.

5.1.4 Chilled-water Loop Piping

NOTICE

Risk of piping-system corrosion and freezing fluids. Can cause leaks resulting in equipment
and very expensive building damage. Cooling coils and piping systems are at high risk of
freezing and premature corrosion. Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreeze
and inhibitors to prevent freezing and premature coil and piping corrosion. The water or
water/glycol solution must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist before
start up to establish the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularly
scheduled intervals throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitor
depletion.

The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required
treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid system
maintenance program.

Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors, that
reduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The chemistry
of the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may contain corrosive
elements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation. Sediment deposits prevent
the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the coolant system components and
piping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and circulating through the system
continuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and or growth of sulfate reducing
bacteria.

5 Piping and Refrigerant Requirements 31

 Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.
Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.

Commercial ethylene glycol, when pure, is generally less corrosive to the common metals of
construction than water itself. It will, however, assume the corrosivity of the water from which it
is prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with use if not properly inhibited.

We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system that is wired to activate the

automatic-closure of field-installed coolant-fluid supply and return shut-off valves to reduce
the amount of coolant-fluid leakage and consequential equipment and building damage. The
shut-off valves must be sized to close-off against the maximum coolant-fluid system pressure
in case of a catastrophic fluid leak.
NOTICE

Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage.

Do not leave the water/coolant fluid-supply circuit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows the
collection of sediment that prevents the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of
tubes. Keep unit switched On and water/coolant fluid-supply circuit system operating
continuously.

See Table 5.5 below, for the chilled-water loop requirements.

Install manual service shutoff valves at the supply and return lines of each unit. These shutoff valves are
used for routine service and for emergency isolation of the unit.

Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the recommended,
field-installed hardware such as shut-off valves and hose bibs. See Table 5.1 on page 27.

NOTE: Chilled-water supply and return lines must be insulated to prevent condensation of the lines.

5.1.5 Water/Glycol Loop Piping

NOTICE

Risk of frozen pipes and corrosion from improper coolant mixture. Can cause water leaks
resulting in equipment and building damage.

When piping or the cooling unit may be exposed to freezing temperatures, charge the system
with the proper percentage of glycol and water for the coldest design ambient temperature.
Automotive antifreeze is unacceptable and must NOT be used in any glycol fluid system. Use
only HVAC glycol solution that meets the requirements of recommended industry practices.

Do not use galvanized pipe.

Install manual service shut-off valves at the supply and return line to each unit. This permits routine
service and emergency isolation of the unit. Refer to the appropriate submittal drawing for the piping-
connection sizes of your unit, see Table 5.2 on page 27.

32 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the recommended,
field-installed hardware such as shut-off valves. See Table 5.1 on page 27.

When the fluid quality is poor, we recommend installing a 16-20# mesh Y-strainer filter in the supply line
to extend the service life of the coaxial condensers. These filters must be easily replaced or cleaned.

The standard maximum fluid pressure is 150 psig (1034 kPa) and 350 psig (2413 kPa) for high-pressure
systems. For applications above this pressure, contact a Vertiv representative.

The water/glycol-cooled system will operate in conjunction with a cooling tower, city water or drycooler.

NOTE: HVAC-grade ethylene or propylene glycol should be used on glycol systems. Automotive
antifreeze must not be used.

Water/Glycol-coolant Regulating Valve

Water/glycol-cooled units include a coolant-flow regulating valve that is factory-adjusted and should not
need field adjustment.

Standard-pressure and high-pressure valves are adjusted differently. Contact Vertiv technical support
before making any adjustments.

5.1.6 Free-cooling Coil Piping

An optional, free-cooling coil outlet can be field-piped to the condensing-unit inlet on water-cooled
systems if a 3-way regulating valve is installed inside the water/glycol condensing unit.

Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the details of a free-
cooling coil installation. See Table 5.1 on page 27.

NOTE: If the free-cooling coil is piped to an open water tower, a CU/NI (copper-nickel) type coil must
be ordered to prevent corrosion of the copper tubes, or a heat exchanger must separate the tower
water from the free-cooling loop.

5.1.7 Hot-water Reheat Coil Piping

On chilled-water systems, building hot water can be piped to a factory-installed hot water reheat coil,
located downstream of the cooling coil. A factory-installed solenoid valve opens upon a call for reheat.

Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the details of a hot-
water reheat coil installation. See Piping General-arrangement Drawings on page 27.

5 Piping and Refrigerant Requirements 33

 5.2 Refrigerant Piping

WARNING! Risk of over-pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause piping rupture,
explosive discharge of high-pressure refrigerant, loss of refrigerant, environmental pollution,
equipment damage, injury, or death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure.
Use extreme caution when charging the refrigerant system. Do not pressurize the system
higher than the design pressure marked on the unit's nameplate. Relieve pressure before
cutting into or making connections/disconnections to the piping system. Local building or
plumbing codes may require installing a pressure-relief device in the system.

Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure-
relief devices when isolation valves are field installed. Do not isolate any refrigerant circuits
from over pressurization protection. The PFH condensing units include a factory-installed
pressure-relief valve mounted on top of the receiver. The valve is rated for a maximum working
pressure of 475 psig.

NOTICE

Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.

Liebert® Mini-Mate2 DX systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs water
at a much faster rate when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is the
enemy of a reliable refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systems
during installation or service. If water is absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed
and will not be removed through the normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may
require an oil change. POE oils also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a
refrigeration system. Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will
tend to bring any foreign matter back to the compressor.

NOTICE

Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.

Refrigerant charge must be weighed into compressorized split systems before they are started.

Self-contained systems are factory-charged. To optimize the refrigerant charge on water/glycol units, see
Optimizing Refrigerant Charge on Water/Glycol Units on page 41.

Split systems require 2 refrigerant lines between the evaporator and the condensing unit:

• 1 insulated copper suction line

• 1 copper liquid line

34 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 Observe the following requirements for all field-supplied refrigeration piping:

• All piping must be ACR-type copper.

• For all piping connections, use prevailing good piping practices, which includes brazing copper
pipes using a brazing alloy of a minimum temperature of 1350°F (732°C) and adhere to local
codes.
• Factory-installed piping brackets must not be removed.
• Piping must be installed in accordance with local codes, and must be properly assembled,
supported, isolated, and insulated.
• Use prevailing good refrigeration practices such as piping supports, leak testing, evacuation,
dehydration and charging of the refrigeration circuits.
• Isolate the refrigeration piping from the building with vibration-isolating supports.
• Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas such as office walls and conference rooms.
• When sealing openings in walls and to reduce vibration transmission, use a soft, flexible
material to pack around the tubes to prevent tube damage.
• When installing remote condensing units above the evaporator, the suction gas lines should be
trapped at the evaporator. These traps will retain refrigerant oil in the off cycle. When the unit
starts, oil in the traps is carried up the vertical risers and returns to the compressors.
5.2.1 Piping when Condensing Unit is Above or Below Evaporator
Refer to Table 5.6 below, for the maximum vertical rise/fall between condensing unit and evaporator.

When installing remote condensing units above the evaporator, trap the suction gas line at the
evaporator as shown in Figure 5.2 on the next page. This trap will retain refrigerant oil during the "Off"
cycle. When the unit starts, oil in the trap is carried up the vertical riser and returns to the compressor. For
rises over 25 ft (7.6 m), trap every 20 ft (6 m) or evenly divided.

When installing remote condensing units below the evaporator, trap the suction gas line with an inverted
trap the height of the evaporator as shown Figure 5.2 on the next page. This prevents refrigerant
migration to the compressor during "Off" cycles. The maximum recommended vertical-level drop to
condensing unit is 15 ft (4.6 m).

Maximum recommended total equivalent pipe length is 150 ft (46 m). Suction and liquid lines may require
additional specialty items when vertical lines exceed 20 ft. (6 m) and/or condensing unit installation
is more than 15 ft. (4.6 m) below the evaporator. Contact Vertiv Technical Support for assistance.

5.2.4 Field-fabricated Refrigeration Piping

Use copper pipe with high-temperature brazed joints for all field-fabricated refrigeration piping. Use a
brazing alloy with a minimum temperature of 1350°F (732°C), such as Sil-Fos. Avoid soft solders such as
50/50 or 95/5.

1. Measure pipe runs and calculate pipe size and equivalent feet of suction and liquid lines per
the tables in Refrigerant-line Sizes and Equivalent Lengths on page 36.
2. Determine the type of trap to use on the suction line next to the evaporator based on the
position of the condensing unit per Pipe length and condensing unit elevation relative to
evaporator on page 35.
3. Determine the number and placement of traps on vertical rises, and install traps on the
suction-line piping at the base of a rise over 5-ft (1.5-m) and every 20-ft (6-m) of vertical rise.
4. The evaporator and condensing units come with an inert-gas holding charge. Release
pressure before cutting the spun-closed end of the piping.

NOTE: You can only evacuate the system properly if you open the hot-gas by-pass and liquid-line
solenoid valves (if equipped) inside the condensing unit and you account for all check valves, see
Figure 5.3 on the facing page. Connect manifold-gauge hoses to the discharge- and suction-line
Schrader ports, remove the solenoid-valve holding coils from the hot-gas by-pass and liquid-line
solenoid valves (if equipped), and apply a solenoid-valve service magnet to the valves to obtain a
proper vacuum.

5. Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper-
oxide scale inside the piping. A pure dry-nitrogen flow of 1 to 3 ft3/min (0.5 to 1.5 l/s) inside the
pipe during brazing is sufficient to displace the air. Control the flow using a suitable metering
device.

NOTE: Copper oxide forms when copper is heated in the presence of air. POE oil will dissolve these
oxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit them throughout the system, clogging filter driers and
affecting other system components.

5.2.5 Evacuation and Leak-testing Air-cooled Systems

For proper leak-check and evacuation, you must open all system valves and account for all check valves,
see Figure 5.3 on the facing page.

To evacuate and leak-test the system:

1. Open the liquid-line solenoid valve and hot-gas by-pass solenoid valve by removing the
holding coils, and apply a solenoid-valve service magnet to the valves.
2. Connect manifold-gauge hoses on the discharge- and suction-line Schrader ports, open the
service valves, and place a 150 Psig (1034 kPa) charge of dry nitrogen with a tracer of
refrigerant, then check the system for leaks with a suitable leak detector.
3. After completion of leak testing, release the test pressure, (observe local code) and pull an
initial deep vacuum of 500 microns on the system with a suitable pump.
4. After 4 hours, check the pressure readings and, if they have not changed, break vacuum with
dry nitrogen. Pull a second and third vacuum to 500 microns or less. Re-check the pressure
after 2 hours.
When the 3 checks are complete, proceed to Charging Air-cooled Systems below.
5.2.6 Charging Air-cooled Systems
NOTICE

Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.

R-407C is a blended refrigerant and must be introduced and charged from the cylinder only as
a liquid.

When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add the
refrigerant through the valve in the compressor suction line. Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the compressor. We recommend connecting a sight glass between the charging
hose and the compressor suction service valve. This will permit adjustment of the cylinder
hand valve so that liquid can leave the cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the compressor.
To calculate the charge for the system:

1. Check the nameplate on the indoor unit for refrigerant type to use.
2. Refer to Table 5.9 on page 37, and Table 5.10 on page 38, and calculate the amount of
charge for the system including the evaporator, condensing unit, and interconnecting piping.

40 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 3. Accurately weigh-in as much of the system charge as possible before re-installing coils on
liquid-line solenoid valve and hot-gas by-pass solenoid valve, and starting the unit.
5.2.7 Field Charge Verification for Air-cooled Systems
An integral sight glass is provided with the receiver to assist in field-charge verification. During charge
verification, set the control temperature down to keep the system running. If the system is equipped with
hot-gas bypass, de-energize it by removing power from the hot-gas solenoid valve coil. To remove power,
disconnect the solenoid leads from the unit contactor in the electric box, see Figure 5.3 on page 39.
When charge verification is complete, replace and secure all wire connections and covers.
During operation at design ambient temperatures, (95 or 105°F; 35 or 41°C) the charge level is above the
sight glass in the receiver. If levels are below the sight glass, an under-charge condition is likely. If levels
are above the sight glass and higher discharge pressures than normal are observed, an overcharge
condition may be likely. However, verify that other high-discharge pressure causes such as dirty coil and
restricted air flow are not responsible before removing charge.

At temperatures below design ambient temperature, refrigerant backs into the condenser coil and the
level in the receiver drops below the sight glass. If you are trying to verify charge level at lower ambient
temperatures, block the condenser coil to maintain 240 psig (1655 kPa) discharge pressure to ensure the
head-pressure-control valve is closed. At these conditions the charge level should be above the sight
glass in the receiver.

NOTE: If no level is visible in the sight glass, add charge until the level is in the middle of the sight glass.
Check the discharge pressure during this procedure and adjust coil restrictions to maintain 240 psig
(1655 kPa). Once the charge is in the middle of the sight glass, add additional system charge per Table
5.11 below. After charging, unblock the coil and allow the unit to operate normally. After conditions
have stabilized, restrict the coil if required to maintain 240 psig (1655 kPa) discharge pressure and
verify that the charge level is above the sight glass.

See Table 5.9 on page 37, for base charge amount of the condensing unit.

5.2.8 Documenting Refrigerant Charge on Air-cooled Units

When the unit is charged, you must record the total system charge value on the condensing unit's serial
tag. The total system charge includes the evaporator, condensing unit, and interconnecting lines.

5.2.9 Optimizing Refrigerant Charge on Water/Glycol Units

1. Operate the unit at full heat load, normal room conditions and normal water/glycol fluid
temperatures for a minimum of 30 minutes before measuring stable unit superheat and
subcooling temperatures and adjusting charge levels.
• Condensing temperatures should be in range of 100 to 130°F (38 to 54°C) depending on
fluid type and fluid temperature.
• Full heat load is required to stabilize the system.

5 Piping and Refrigerant Requirements 41

 2. Attach pressure and temperature instruments to the liquid line of the condensing unit. Use the
factory-installed Schrader valve located in the liquid line of the condenser. Measure the initial
subcooling.

NOTE: To determine subcooling measurement, a liquid-line pressure reading (at the factory-installed
Schrader tap) must be measured along with the temperature reading on the liquid line. Convert the
liquid-line pressure reading into a liquid temperature by utilizing a Pressure-temperature Guide.
Subtract the measured temperature from the liquid-saturation temperature. The difference is
subcooling.

3. Adjust refrigerant charge levels as needed to achieve subcooling range of 12 to 14°F

(6.7 to 7.8°C) while maintaining full load conditions.

 6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING! 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 protective 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, per NEC, CEC 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.

WARNING! Risk of improper wire and loose electrical connections. Can cause overheated wire
and electrical connection terminals resulting in smoke, fire, equipment and building damage,
injury or death. Use correctly sized copper wire only and verify that all electrical connections are
tight before turning power On. Check all electrical connections periodically and tighten as
necessary.

NOTE: Seal openings around piping and electrical connections to prevent air leakage. Failure to do so
could reduce the unit's cooling performance.
NOTICE

Risk of improper electrical supply connection. Can cause equipment damage.

See transformer label for primary tap connections. Installer will need to change transformer
primary taps if applied unit voltage is other than pre-wired tap voltage.

All power and control wiring and ground connections must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes. Refer to the equipment serial-tag data for electrical requirements.

A manual electrical disconnect switch should be installed in accordance with local codes and distribution
system. Consult local codes for external disconnect requirements.

Each unit is shipped from the factory with internal wiring completed. Refer to the unit's electrical
schematic when making connections. Electrical connections to be supplied by the users and made at the

WARNING! Risk of loose electrical connections. Can cause overheating of wire, smoke and fire
resulting in building and equipment damage, injury or death. Use copper wiring only. Verify that
all connections are tight.

NOTE: Refer to specifications for full-load amp. and wire-size amp. ratings.

Voltage supplied must agree with the voltage specified on the unit serial tag. If a field-supplied disconnect
switch is required, it may be bolted to the ceiling unit, but not to any of the removable panels. This would
interfere with access to the unit. Make sure that no refrigerant lines are punctured when mounting the
disconnect switch.

Route the electrical-service conduit through the hole provided in the cabinet and terminate it at the
electric box. Make connections at the factory terminal block or disconnect switch, L1, L2, L3. Connect
earth ground to lug provided. See transformer label for primary tap connections. Installer will need to

 Set-up options

RESTART TIME DELAY

Selects a delay before restarting the unit after main power is restored to the unit.

• Delay can be set from 0.1 minutes (6 seconds) to 9.9 minutes.

• If several units are operating, set different delays for a sequential start-up.
• Setting the value to zero (0) prevents unit restart when power is restored. In this case, the unit
must be restarted manually by pressing the “On/Off” button on the keypad.

C/F DEGREES

Selects Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C) for display readings/setpoints.

HUMIDITY CONTROL METHOD

Selects relative (direct) or absolute (predictive) for humidity control. The LCD displays the
percentage relative humidity for both methods of control and if “absolute” is selected, the adjusted
humidity reading is also displayed.

• If “relative” is selected, the RH control is taken directly from the RH sensor.

• If “absolute” is selected, the RH control automatically adjusts when return-air temperature
deviates from the desired temperature setpoint (i.e., predictive humidity control). Predictive
humidity control automatically adjusts the humidity level ~2% RH for each degree difference
between the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint.

For more details about selecting the humidity-control method, see Humidity Control and Over-
cooling below.

Humidity Control and Over-cooling

When using the relative (direct) humidity control method, unnecessary dehumidification can result when
over-cooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle. This happens when a higher-than-normal RH
reading is caused by over-cooling the room (about 2% RH for each degree of over cooling). This
temperature drop extends the dehumidification cycle. Later, when dehumidification ends and the
temperature rises to the setpoint, the RH reading falls to a reading lower than actually desired. If the
temperature drop significant enough, the percentage RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier.

Using the absolute (predictive) humidity method may avoid over-dehumidification. When over-cooling
causes an increase in the RH reading, the humidity-control program estimates what the RH will be when
the dehumidification cycle ends and temperature returns to the setpoint and allows the dehumidification
cycle to end at the proper time. Predictive humidity control can greatly reduce energy consumption by
minimizing compressor/reheat operation and eliminating unnecessary operation.

9 Microprocessor Control 59
 9.2.9 Changing Setpoint and Setup Passwords
When you attempt to make changes, the display prompts you for a 3-digit password. The passwords
provide system security, so that only authorized personnel may make changes. If unauthorized changes
occur, the passwords may be compromised and new ones should be set.

The system includes two passwords with the following factory-default settings:

• Default set-up password = 3 - 2 - 1

• Default setpoint password = 1 - 2 - 3
To change a password:

First enter the default password, then enter the new password.

NOTE: The password function can be disabled by setting DIP switch 8 in the wall box to OFF and then
cycling power to the unit.

9.2.10 Calibrating Sensors and Setting Sensor-response Delay

If you suspect that the temperature and/or humidity readings are not accurate, you can calibrate the
sensors to match the display using your portable, calibrated test instrument and the CALIBRATE
SENSORS menu. The temperature sensor can be calibrated +5°F. The humidity sensor can be calibrated
±10% RH.

If the sensors are subject to frequent wide temperature and humidity swings, it may be necessary to
shorten the cycling by increasing the sensor time delay. If the sensors are located too close to the air
discharge, they will likely experience rapid swings in measurement. Another method in reducing
compressor cycling is to increase the temperature and/or humidity sensitivity.

The calibration and delay options are:

• SET TEMP CAL—calibrates the temperature sensor ±5°F (±2.8°C).

• SET HUM CAL—calibrates the humidity sensor ±10%.
• SET TEMP DELAY—sets the time-delay for sensor response 10 to 90 seconds (default setting
= 50 seconds).
• SET HUMID DELAY—sets the time-delay for sensor response 10 to 90 seconds (default setting
= 50 seconds).

60 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 To calibrate a sensor:

1. Make sure the unit is operating and has maintained stable operating conditions for at least 15
minutes.
2. Place the test instrument as close as possible to the sensors to obtain an accurate reading for
comparison.
3. At the controller, press the MENU key.
4. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight CALIBRATE SENSORS, then press Enter.
5. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight a calibration option, then press Enter.
6. Use the Up/Down arrows to adjust the unit's sensor reading to match the reading from the test
device, then press Enter to store the value.

IMPORTANT! When calibrating the humidity sensor, the calibration value is always displayed in "% RH,"
even when absolute humidity control is selected for the unit. If absolute humidity control is selected,
the Normal Status Display displays the adjusted reading, which may not agree with the relative humidity
reading that displays in calibration.
To set sensor response-time delay:

1. Press the MENU key.

2. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight CALIBRATE SENSORS, then press Enter.
3. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight a set-delay option, then press Enter.

 9.4 System Control and Performance
This section describes how the Mini-Mate2 responds to operator input and room conditions.

9.4.1 Temperature Control

The following describes the methods of temperature control and determining cooling requirement for the
various Mini-Mate2 cooling types.

Control-type Response Proportional Control

The percent requirement for temperature control 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 percent cooling required increases proportionally (from 0 to 100%) over a temperature band
equal to the temperature sensitivity plus 1°F. The heating requirement is determined in a similar manner
as the temperature decreases below the setpoint. With this control type, the temperature at which the
room is controlled increases as the room load increases. At full load, the room is controlled to a
temperature equal to the setpoint plus the sensitivity.

Cooling Operation for Compressorized (DX) Systems

Cooling is activated when the temperature control calculates a cooling requirement of 100% and
deactivated when the cooling requirement drops below 50%. Hot-gas bypass is activates when a call for
cooling occurs unless there is also a call for dehumidification.

Table 9.9 Hot-gas bypass response to cooling and dehumidification modes

Mode Hot-gas bypass

Cooling only ON

Dehumidification only OFF

Cooling with Dehumidification OFF

Cooling Operation for Chilled-water Systems

The chilled-water control valve is adjusted by a slow-acting motor based on cooling and dehumidification
requirements.

Cooling Operation for DX Systems with Free-cooling Coil

When free-cooling is available, the freecooling control valve is adjusted by a slow-acting motor based on
cooling and dehumidification requirements.

9.4.2 Reheat
The following describes the methods of reheat control and determining reheat requirement for the
various Mini-Mate2 cooling types.

70 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 Ground Current Detector
A Ground Current Detector (GCD) is factory-installed on all units with reheat. The GCD detects reheat
leakage current and shuts-down operation of the reheat. A steady-green LED indicates that the reheat is
operating properly. A red LED indicates that the reheat has failed and both the reheat element and GCD
must be replaced.

WARNING! Risk of ground-fault protection failure. Can cause smoke, fire, equipment and
building damage, injury, or death. Do not remove or disable the ground current detector.

Figure 9.5 Ground-current detector

Electric or Hot Water Reheat

The reheat stage activates when the temperature control calculates a requirement of 100%. The reheat is
deactivates when the heat requirement is 50% less than the activation point.

SCR Electric Reheat

The SCR proportionally controls the stainless-steel reheat feature to maintain the selected room
temperature. The rapid cycling of the SCR controller provides precise temperature control, while the
constant element temperature improves heater life. During SCR operation, the compressors operate
continuously and the heaters are modulated to provide temperature control.

The display status shows when the unit is cooling and heating. The control automatically locks the
compressor cooling in the “ON” position except when the temperature falls below the low-temperature-
alarm setpoint. When temperature falls below the low-temperature setpoint, cooling is disabled until the
room temperature reaches this minimum temperature setpoint.

 9.4.3 Humidity Control
The following describes the methods of humidity control and determining
humidification/dehumidification requirement for the various Mini-Mate2 cooling types.

Humidification Operation
The humidifier activates when the humidity control calculates a 100% humidification requirement, and it
is deactivates when the humidification requirement falls below 50%.

The humidity control for the Mini-Mate2 is based on a calculated percent requirement for
dehumidification or humidification. The percent requirement is calculated from the difference between
the sensor reading and the humidity setpoint, divided by the sensitivity. The control method is selectable
between relative and absolute. "Relative" humidity control is the default.

Dehumidification Operation for Compressorized (DX) Systems

Dehumidification in the standard configuration operates the compressor without the hot-gas bypass
active. The fan operates at low speed unless the cooling requirement reaches 100%. At 100% cooling
requirement, the low-speed fan is disabled (unless manually overridden) until the cooling requirement
decreases to 0%. Dehumidification is also disabled if the heating requirement exceeds 125% and is re-
enabled when the heating requirement reaches 50%.

Dehumidification Lockout
Dehumidification is locked out if over cooling occurs. Dehumidification is disabled at 125% (first stage) and
200% (all stages) heating requirement. Dehumidification is re-enabled at 66% and 33% heating
requirement.

9.4.4 Load Control

The control system monitors the compressor and prevents it from turning on within a 3-minute period of
being off. If this on-off-on cycle occurs too often (for example: 10 times in a one-hour period), a Short Cycle
Alarm occurs.

9.5 Alarm Notification, Acknowledgment and Descriptions

The microprocessor control system audibly and visually signals all enabled alarms including custom
alarms. See Configuring Custom Alarms on page 63, for settings and customization options.

When a new alarm occurs, it is displayed on the screen and the audible alarm is activated. (If
communicating with a Liebert® Monitoring product, the alarm is also transmitted). The message “PRESS
ALARM SILENCE” prompts you to silence the alarm. After the alarm is silenced, the display return to the
Normal Status display. Alarms can also be silenced through communication with a Liebert® Monitoring
product unit. See Viewing Active Alarms on page 57.

9 Microprocessor Control 73
 Many alarms reset automatically when the alarm condition is no longer represented and after it has been
acknowledged by being silenced. The exceptions are:

• Software alarms—Loss of Power alarms reset automatically 30 seconds after being silenced or
acknowledged. Short Cycle alarms reset automatically 90 minutes after being silenced or
acknowledged.
• Alarms that monitor overload or high-pressure switches may require a manual reset depending
upon the model.

The following sections describe and provide troubleshooting suggestions for each type of alarm. See
Troubleshooting on page 95 for additional details. If you need further assistance, contact your Vertiv
representative.

NOTE: Alarms are specific at the time the unit is ordered. Additional devices and wiring at the factory
may be required for some alarms.

9.5.1 Custom Alarms

Custom alarm(s) messages are programmed at the LCD display. The message displayed may be included
in a list of provided alarms or it may be customized text (for up to two alarms). See Configuring Custom
Alarms on page 63.

IMPORTANT! If using custom text messages, notify maintenance personnel of the alarm function and
required action.

9.5.2 High Head-Pressure Alarm

Compressor head pressure is monitored with a pressure-sensor switch. (One SPDT pressure switch is
used per refrigeration circuit). If head pressure exceeds 400 psig (2760 kPag), the switch turns off the
compressor contactor and sends an input signal to the control.

Acknowledge the condition by pressing the alarm silence button on the wall box, which will clear if the
high head pressure is alleviated.

If the head pressure alarm activates 3 times, the alarm locks until the unit is serviced. After the head
pressure problem is fixed, reset the control by disconnecting power to the evaporator unit.
To address a high head-pressure alarm:

• On air-cooled systems—check for power shut off to the condensing unit, condensing unit fan
not working, defective head pressure control valves, dirty condenser coils or crimped lines. Also,
make sure that side switch on the compressor contactors close to energize the condensing-
unit control circuit.
• On water/glycol-cooled systems—Check water regulating valves. Verify water/glycol flow
(pumps are operating and service valves are open). Is water tower or drycooler operating? Is
the coolant temperature entering the condensing unit at or below design conditions? Is AUX
relay (terminals 70 & 71) operating during cooling to turn on the drycooler?

74 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 9.5.3 Humidity-level Alarms
The humidity alarm may be activated under the following conditions:

• High: The room return-air humidity exceeds the pre-set high-humidity alarm setpoint. Is the
unit set up for dehumidification? Check DIP switch.
• Low: The room return-air humidity is below the low-humidity alarm setpoint. Is the unit setup
for humidification? Check DIP switch.
• High and Low Humidity (simultaneously): The simultaneous display of two alarms results in loss
of the humidity input signal, and dashes (- - -) are displayed for the humidity reading on the
display. If this condition occurs, the control system deactivates both humidification and
dehumidification. Check for a disconnected cable or failed sensor.

NOTE: Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoor
humidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air?

9.5.4 Temperature-level Alarms

The temperature-level alarm may be activated under the following conditions:

• High: Room return-air temperature increases to the high-temperature alarm setpoint. Check
for proper setpoint value. Is the room load more than the unit can handle (unit capacity is too
small)? Make sure cooling components are operating (compressor or valves).
• Low: The room return-air temperature decreases to the low-temperature alarm setpoint. Check
for proper setpoint value. Make sure all heating components are operating (contactors,
reheats, etc.). Are reheats drawing the proper current (refer to amp rating on nameplate)?
• High and Low Simultaneously: The simultaneous display of the two alarms results in loss of the
temperature input signal (or the humidity is out of sensor range-15 to 85% RH), and dashes
(---) are displayed for the temperature reading on the display. If this condition occurs, the
control system initiates 100% cooling. Check for a disconnected cable or a failed sensor.

NOTE: Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoor
humidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air?

9.5.5 Humidifier-problem Alarm

The Humidifier Problem alarm sounds and displays a message if any of the humidifier conditions
described in Table 9.10 below, occur. The Humidifier's control-board fault-indicator LED assists in
determining the issue.

Table 9.10 Humidifier faults and LED indicator

Fault Condition LED Indicator

Overcurrent detection Lit constant

Fill system fault 1-second flash

Replace tank 1/2-second flash

9.5.6 High-water Alarm

A float switch in the evaporator pan shuts down the evaporator when a high water level occurs. Clear the
drain and reset power to the unit to clear the alarm.

9 Microprocessor Control 75
 9.5.7 Loss-of-Power Alarm
The Loss of Power alarm activates (after power is restored to the unit) if the unit has lost power or the
disconnect switch was incorrectly turned off before the unit’s On switch was pressed. A Liebert® remote
monitoring unit (optional) will immediately indicate loss of power.

9.5.8 Short Cycle Alarm

A Short Cycle alarm occurs if the compressor system exceeds 10 cooling-start attempts in a 1-hour period.
This may happen if the refrigerant level is low or if the cooling load is small compared to the unit’s
capacity. Check for leaks, crimped lines and defective components. If the cooling load is low, increase
sensitivity to reduce cycle.

9.5.9 Loss of Water Flow Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type, unit options and alarm
customization.

The Loss of Water Flow alarm occurs if no water flow is detected in the chilled-water or condensing unit
water-supply line. An external flow switch is required for this alarm. Determine whether service valves are
closed, pumps are not working, etc.

9.5.10 Change-filter Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type and alarm customization.

Periodically, the return-air filters in the evaporator must be changed. The Change Filter alarm indicates
that filter replacement is necessary. A differential air-pressure switch closes when the pressure drop
across the filters becomes excessive. The switch is adjustable using the procedure on the switch label.

9.5.11 High-temperature Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type and alarm customization.

The high-temperature alarm occurs when the temperature exceeds high temperature sensor setpoint of
125°F (52°C). The optional high temperature sensor is a bi-metal operated sensing device with a closed
switch under normal conditions. Connected between pins 1-8 and 1-9, this device shuts down the entire
unit.

9.5.12 Smoke Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type, unit options, and alarm
customization.

The smoke alarm occurs when the smoke sensor detects smoke. The sensor constantly samples return-air
through a tube. The sensor's power supply is located in the electric panel. The smoke sensor shuts down
the unit upon detecting smoke, and activates visual and audible alarms. This smoke sensor is not
intended to function as or replace any room smoke-detection system that may be required by local or
national codes. Locate the source of the smoke and follow appropriate emergency procedures.

 10 MAINTENANCE
Use copies of the Preventive Maintenance Checklist on page 89 to record preventive maintenance
inspections.

WARNING! 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 protective 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, per NEC, CEC 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.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Open all local
and remote electric power supply disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power is
off before working within any electric connection enclosures. Service and maintenance work
must be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel and in accordance with
applicable regulations and manufacturers’ specifications. Opening or removing the covers to
any equipment may expose personnel to lethal voltages within the unit even when it is
apparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected from the electrical source.

WARNING! Risk of improper wiring, piping, moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipment
damage, serious injury or death. Installation and service of this equipment should be done only
by qualified personnel, wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE, who have been specially-
trained in the installation of air-conditioning equipment.

The Liebert® Mini-Mate2 units are single components in the facility heat-removal system. The system
includes air distribution (duct systems), heat rejection (condensing units or chilled water), and indoor
cooling and humidity loads (equipment load, location, outside air infiltration). Proper application and
maintenance of the entire system is critical to the life and reliability of the thermal-management units.

• Good maintenance practices are essential to minimizing operation costs and maximizing
product life.
• Read and follow monthly and semi-annual maintenance schedules included in this manual.
These MINIMUM maintenance intervals may need to be more frequent based on site-specific
conditions.

10.1.1 Environmental-control Function Tests

The performance of all control circuits can be tested by changing the setpoints, which actuates each of
the main functions.

10.1.2 Cooling Test

To test the cooling function, set the setpoint to a temperature of 10°F (5°C) below room temperature. A
call for cooling should register and prompt the equipment to begin cooling cycle. (Disregard any
temperature alarms). Upon completion of testing, return the setpoint to the desired temperature.

10.1.3 Heating Test

Test Reheat by setting the setpoint to 10°F (5°C) above room temperature. A call for heating should
register and prompt the equipment to begin heating cycle. (Disregard any temperature alarms). Upon
completion of testing, return the setpoint to the desired temperature.

NOTE: Units with hot-gas reheat cannot be tested in this manner. The heating function is only
activated during dehumidification and is designed to offset cooling load of the unit.

10.1.4 Humidification Test

To check humidification, set the humidity setpoint at 10% RH above the room humidity reading. After a
short delay, the canister will fill with water and steam will be produced. Upon completion of testing, return
the humidity setpoint to the desired humidity.

10.1.5 Dehumidification Test

Test dehumidification by setting the humidity setpoint at 10% RH below room relative humidity. The
compressor should turn on and the fan should switch to low speed. Upon completion of testing, return the
humidity setpoint to the desired humidity.

78 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 10.1.6 Smoke Sensor Test
The smoke sensor is located in the unit, and the power supply for the smoke sensor is located in the
electric panel. It constantly samples return air through a tube. No adjustments are required.

10.1.7 Remote Shutdown Test

A connection point is provided for remote shutdown devices supplied by the customer. This terminal strip
is on the printed circuit board. (Terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5 are fitted with a jumper when no remote
shutdown device is installed.)

10.2 Filter Maintenance

Experience shows that 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.

NOTE: Always turn power off before removing filters.

Filters can be replaced by opening the hinged door on the return air filter box or by opening the return air
grille (grille version only). Replacement filters are commercially available in several efficiencies, contact
your Vertiv representative for appropriate filter sizes.

10.3 Electric Panel Maintenance

Inspect the electric panel on a semi-annual basis for any loose electrical connections.

10.4 Direct-drive Blower Package Maintenance

Inspect the blower package monthly including: motor mounts, fan bearings and impellers.

10.4.1 Fan Impeller and Motor Bearing Maintenance

Inspect fan impellers thoroughly and remove any debris. Check to see if the impellers are tightly mounted
on the fan shaft and that they do not rub against the fan housing during rotation. Although the unit's
motor bearings are permanently sealed and self-lubricating, inspect them monthly for signs of wear.

10.4.2 Air Distribution Inspection

Because all unit models are designed for constant volume air delivery, any unusual restrictions within the
air circuit must be avoided. Note that high-efficiency filters can reduce air performance and evaporator
capacity.

10.4.3 Motor Replacement

If the evaporator motor needs to be replaced, first remove the air distribution plate on the bottom of the
unit. Removing the mounting screws, allows the entire blower wheel and motor to be lifted out.

10.5 Electric Reheat Maintenance

Reheat element sheets and fins are manufactured with stainless steel. Regular inspections are necessary
to assure proper cleanliness of the reheating element. If inspection reveals corrosion particles on the
reheating element or adjoining surfaces (including ducts and plenums), perform appropriate cleaning.
Periodic replacement of the reheating element may be necessary to meet specific application
requirements.

10 Maintenance 79
 10.6 Refrigeration System Maintenance
Inspect the components of the refrigeration system monthly for proper function and signs of wear.
Because evidence of malfunction is typically present before component failure, periodic inspections are
major factor in the prevention of most system failures. Refrigerant lines must be properly supported and
not allowed to vibrate against ceilings, floors, or unit frame. Inspect all refrigerant lines every 6 months for
signs of wear and proper support. Inspect the capillary and equalizer lines from the expansion valve.

10.6.1 Refrigeration Suction Pressure

Suction pressure will vary with load conditions. Suction pressure normally ranges from 58 psi to 75 psi
(405 kPa to 517 kPa).

10.6.2 Refrigeration Discharge Pressure

The discharge pressure will vary greatly with load and ambient conditions, see Table 10.1 below. The
high-pressure switch shuts down the compressor at its cut-out setting.

Table 10.1 Typical Discharge Pressures

System Design Discharge Pressure, psig (kPa)

Air-Cooled 200-300 (1380-2070)

Water-Cooled 65 to 85°F water (18 to 29.4°C) 200-250 (1380-1725)

Glycol-Cooled 250-350 (1725-2415)

High-Pressure Cut-Out 400 (2760)

10.6.3 Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) Maintenance

The TXV performs one function: It keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy load
conditions. It does not affect compressor operation.

Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat. The correct superheat setting is
between 10 and 15°F (5.6 and 8.3°C). If too little refrigerant is being fed to the evaporator, the superheat
will be high. If too much refrigerant is being supplied, the superheat will be low.

10.6.4 Air-Cooled Condensing Unit Maintenance

Restricted airflow will reduce operating efficiency and could result in high compressor-head pressure and
loss of cooling.

• Clear coil surface of all debris that will inhibit airflow.

• Check for bent or damaged coil fins and correct.
• Do not permit snow to accumulate around or under outdoor unit.
• Periodically consider commercial cleaning of coil surface
• Inspect fans, motors and controls for proper operation.
• Check all piping and capillaries for vibration and proper support.
• Inspect all refrigerant lines for signs of oil leaks.
• Check contactors for pitting. Replace if pitted.

80 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 10.6.5 Hot Gas Bypass Operation and Maintenance
When applying hot-gas bypass with split system condensing units, bypassing discharge gas to the
compressor suction line offers more flexibility than conventional hot-gas bypass to the evaporator unit.

The hot-gas bypass valve is installed between the compressor discharge piping and suction piping,
bypassing the condenser and evaporator coils. The discharge gas mixes with the suction gas, raising the
suction temperature and pressure and decreasing the mass flow through the evaporator. The higher
suction temperatures could cause compressor overheating, therefore a separate, liquid-quenching valve
is provided to mix refrigerant from the system liquid line with the discharge gas before mixing with the
suction gas entering the compressor.

During normal operation, when the evaporator is under full load, the hot-gas bypass equalizer pressure
will remain high enough to keep the valve port closed. If the evaporator load decreases, the evaporator
temperature and pressure will drop. When the suction pressure reduces below the hot-gas-bypass valve
setting the hot-gas-bypass valve opens diverting some of the refrigerant flow back to the compressor
suction. The liquid-quenching valve bulb senses this increased superheat and opens, allowing liquid
refrigerant to mix with the discharge gas, de-superheating it.

Proper mixing of the three refrigerant paths ensures stable operation and system performance. The
liquid-quenching valve bulb must be located downstream of all these connections to control superheat at
the compressor inlet. Superheat settings for the liquid-quenching valve are chosen to maintain
consistency with the system expansion valve. During hot-gas bypass operation, higher superheats,
50 to 60°F (28 to 33°C), may be observed at the compressor. The liquid-quenching valve is internally
equalized and superheat is not adjustable.

2. Adjust temperature setpoint to call for cooling so that the refrigeration compressor will run
continuously.
3. Remove the TOP adjusting nut from the valve.
4. Insert an Allen wrench in the brass hole at top of valve in adjusting port, and turn CLOCKWISE
if a higher evaporator temperature is required. Adjust no more than 1/4 turn at a time. Let the
system stabilize for 15 minutes before determining if additional adjustment are necessary.

82 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 5. After obtaining the suction pressure required, reinstall cap tightly making sure there are no
leaks.
6. Let the evaporator operate for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to make sure the suction
pressure is within the range desired.
7. There may be a fluctuation of approximately 3 to 6 psig (21 to 41 kPa) on the evaporator due to
the differential on the hot gas bypass.
8. Return temperature setpoint to the desired setting.
10.6.6 Coaxial Condenser Maintenance (Water/Glycol-cooled Condensers Only)
Each water or glycol-cooled module has a coaxial condenser consisting of an exterior steel tube and an
interior copper tube. Clean the screen on the field-installed Y-strainer (if installed). If the water supply is
clean, coaxial condensers do not normally require maintenance or replacement. If your system begins to
operate at high head pressure with reduced capacity and all other causes have been eliminated, the
condenser may be obstructed or fouled and should be cleaned or replaced.

10.6.7 Regulating Valve Maintenance (Water/Glycol-cooled Condensers Only)

The water-regulating valve automatically regulates 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 valve consists of a brass body, balance spring, valve seat, valve disc
holders, capillary tube to discharge pressure and adjusting screw.

The water regulating valve begins opening at 180 psig (1240 kPag) and is fully opened at 240 psig (1655
kPag). The valve is factory-set and should not need adjustment. There is significant difference in the way
standard-pressure and high-pressure valves are adjusted. Consult Vertiv technical support.

10.6.8 Glycol Solution Maintenance

It is difficult to establish a specific schedule of inhibitor maintenance because the rate of inhibitor
depletion depends upon local water conditions. Analysis of water samples at the time of installation and
through a maintenance program should help to establish a pattern of depletion. A visual inspection of the
solution and filter residue is often helpful in judging whether active corrosion is occurring.

The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required treatment
programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and experienced water-
treatment specialist and follow a regularly-scheduled coolant-fluid system-maintenance program. It is
important to note that improper use of water treatment chemicals can cause problems more serious than
using none. Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the glycol
system. Consult the glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors. Do not mix products
from different manufacturers.

10 Maintenance 83
 10.7 Compressor Maintenance

WARNING! Risk of over-pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause piping rupture,
explosive discharge of high-pressure refrigerant, loss of refrigerant, environmental pollution,
equipment damage, injury, or death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure.
Use extreme caution when charging the refrigerant system. Do not pressurize the system
higher than the design pressure marked on the unit's nameplate. Relieve pressure before
cutting into or making connections/disconnections to the piping system. Local building or
plumbing codes may require installing a pressure-relief device in the system.

Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure-
relief devices when isolation valves are field installed. Do not isolate any refrigerant circuits
from over pressurization protection. The PFH condensing units include a factory-installed
pressure-relief valve mounted on top of the receiver. The valve is rated for a maximum working
pressure of 475 psig.

CAUTION: Risk of contacting caustic substances. Can cause injury. Avoid touching or
contacting the gas and oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Wear appropriate,
OSHA-approved PPE when handling contaminated parts.

Infrequently, a fault in the motor insulation may result in a motor burnout (if system is properly installed,
motor burnout rarely occurs). Primarily, this type of failure is due to mechanical or lubrication problems,
where the burnout is a secondary consequence.

Early detection can prevent a large percentage of the problems that can cause compressor failures.
Periodic maintenance inspections that identify abnormal operation can be a major factor in reducing
maintenance costs. It is easier and more cost-effective to implement the necessary preventative steps
that ensure proper system operation, rather than ignore a problem until it results in compressor failure
and costly replacement. When troubleshooting a compressor problem, check all electrical components for
proper operation:

• Check all fuses and circuit breakers.

• Check pressure switch operation.
• If a compressor failure has occurred, determine whether its cause is an electrical or mechanical
problem.
10.7.1 Mechanical Failure of the Compressor
If you determine that a mechanical failure has occurred, the compressor must be replaced. If a burnout
occurs, correct the problem and clean the system. It is important to note that successive burnouts of the
same system are usually caused by improper cleaning. If a severe burnout has occurred, the oil will be
black and acidic.

84 Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide

 10.7.2 Electrical Failure of the Compressor
In the event of an electrical failure and subsequent burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, proper
procedures must be followed to thoroughly remove any acids that would cause a future failure. There are
two kits that can be used with a complete compressor burnout - Sporlan System Cleaner and Alco Dri-
Kleener. Follow the manufacturer's procedure.

NOTE: Damage to a replacement compressor due to improper system cleaning constitutes abuse
under the terms of the warranty, thereby voiding the warranty.

10.7.3 Replacement Compressors

Replacement compressors are available from your Vertiv supplier and are shipped to the job site in a
reusable crate (as required by the service contractor). If the compressor is under warranty, you must
return it to Vertiv, to receive proper warranty credit. Returned it in the same container in which the
replacement compressor was shipped. Record the possible cause(s) or condition(s) of the damage on the
provided return tag.

10.7.4 Replacing a Failed Compressor

1. Disconnect power
2. Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.
3. Recover refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment. Use a filter-drier
when charging the system with recovered refrigerant.

NOTE: Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and unlawful.
Refrigerant must be recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

4. Remove failed compressor.

5. Install replacement compressor and make all connections.
• Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of
copper oxide scale inside the piping. Copper oxide forms when copper is heated in the
presence of air. POE oil will dissolve these oxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit
them throughout the system, clogging filter driers and affecting other system
components.
• A pure dry nitrogen flow of 1-3 ft3/min (0.5-1.5 l/s) inside the pipe during brazing is
sufficient to displace the air. Control the flow using a suitable metering device. Pressurize
and leak test the system at approximately 150 psig (1034 kPa) pressure.
6. Follow manufacturer's instructions for clean-out kits.
7. Evacuate the system twice to 500 microns. Break the vacuum each time with clean, dry
nitrogen.
8. Evacuate the system a third time to 500 microns.
9. Charge the system with refrigerant (R-407C) based on requirements of the evaporator,
condensing unit, and lines. Refer to the unit nameplate.

 10.8 Steam-generating Humidifier Maintenance
The humidifier drains and refills to maintain a current setpoint and alert the operator when the humidifier
canister needs to be replaced.

WARNING! 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 protective 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, per NEC, CEC 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.

WARNING! Risk of improper wiring, piping, moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipment
damage, serious injury or death. Installation and service of this equipment should be done only
by qualified personnel, wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE, who have been specially-
trained in the installation of air-conditioning equipment.

WARNING! Risk of smoke and fire. Can cause activation of fire suppression systems, building
evacuation, dispatching of fire/rescue equipment and personnel and catastrophic canister
failure resulting in water leaks, equipment damage, injury or death. Using a humidifier canister
that has reached the end of it’s service life can be extremely hazardous. If the canister cannot
be replaced immediately at the end of life condition, turn Off the power and water supply to the
humidifier and remove the canister until a replacement canister can be installed. Do not ignore
humidifier problem alarms. Resetting humidifier without addressing cause may result in fire or
damage due to leaking water.

CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause burn injury. The humidifier canister
and steam discharge lines are extremely hot during operation. Allow sufficient time for them to
cool to a touch-safe temperature before handling. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate,
OSHA-approved PPE when performing maintenance on the humidifier.

After an extended period of operation, in accordance with life-expectancy information, the cylinder is
completely used as indicated by the amber high-water sensor light illuminated on the cabinet. Then this
condition is reached, a new replacement cylinder must be installed.

NOTE: The amber high-water sensor light may come on during initial start-up, but this instance does
not indicate that the cylinder should be replaced.

The steam cylinder is disposable and must be replaced at the end of the cylinder's life. Cylinder life will
vary according to water-supply conditions and humidifier use.

 10.8.1 Operating the Humidifier
1. During start-up, when the humidity control calls for humidification, the fill valve opens and
allows water to enter the canister. When the water level reaches the electrodes, current flows
and the water begins to warm. The canister fills until the amperage reaches the setpoint and
the fill valve closes. As the water warms, its conductivity increases and the current flow, in turn,
rises. If the current reaches 115% of the normal operating current, the drain valve opens and
drains some of the water out of the canister. This reduces electrode contact with the water and
lowers the current flow to the amperage setpoint. Boiling soon commences, and the canister
operates normally.
2. If the conductivity of the water is low, the canister fills and the water level reaches the canister
full electrode before the current setpoint is reached. The humidifier stops filling to prevent
overflow. Boiling should commence in time. As water is boiled off, the mineral concentration in
the canister increases and current flow also increases. The canister eventually reaches full
output and goes to normal operation. No drain is permitted until then.
3. When full output is reached the circuit board starts a time cycle which is factory-set at 60
seconds. During this repeating time cycle, the fill valve will open periodically to replenish the
water being boiled off and maintain a “steady state” output at the setpoint. The amperage
variance depends on the conductivity of the water.
4. After many cycles, the mineral concentration in the canister becomes too high. When this
occurs, the water boils too quickly. As the water quickly boils off and less of the electrode is
exposed, the current flow decreases. When the current crosses the low threshold point before
the end of the time cycle, the drain valve opens, draining the mineral-laden water out and
replacing it with fresh water. This lowers the mineral concentration and returns the canister to
“steady state” operation and prolongs canister life. The frequency of drains depends on water
conductivity.
5. Over a period of time, the electrode surface becomes coated with a layer of insulating material,
which causes a drop in current flow. As this happens, the water level in the canister will slowly
rise exposing new electrode surface to the water to maintain normal output. Eventually, the
steady-state water level will reach the canister-full electrode and indicate so by activating the
canister full alarm and opening the humidifier contactor. At this point, all of the electrode
surface has been used up and the canister must be replaced.
6. After the entire electrode surface has been coated, the output will slowly begin to fall off. This
usually occurs in the last several hours of electrode life and should allow enough time to
schedule maintenance. During these last hours, the mineral concentration can increase. If the
mineral concentration is too high, arcing can occur. If the electrodes start to arc, turn off the
humidifier immediately and replace the canister with the identical part.
10.8.2 Replacing the Canister
The humidifier RUN/DRAIN switch is located in humidifier assembly. This switch should be in the RUN
position when the humidifier is in normal operation. It should be in the DRAIN position when a manual
drain for service is required. The electronic control board for the humidifier is located in the same area as
the humidifier assembly. When the unit is energized, power is available to the humidifier circuits.

1. Turn off the humidifier by lowering the humidity setpoint below the ambient humidity level.

Record the original setpoint.

2. Place the RUN/DRAIN switch in the DRAIN position to drain the water from the canister.
3. Return the RUN/DRAIN switch to the RUN position after the canister has drained.

10 Maintenance 87
 4. Turn Off the power at the main unit.
5. Remove the cover from the humidifier cabinet
6. Locate the power wires to the steam canister. They are connected to the canister with 1/4-in
quick connects. Make note of the wiring configuration before removing any wires. Refer to the
schematic on the unit. Slide the rubber boot back to expose the connections. Remove the two
(2) power wires and the canister wire. Do not loosen the screws that secure the electrodes.
7. Loosen the steam outlet hose clamps and slide the steam hose away from the canister fitting.
8. Release the canister clamp along the base of the canister.
The canister is now ready to be removed.
9. Remove the canister.
10. Reverse these steps to replace the canister, taking special not of the following:
• When replacing wiring, connect the red wire from terminal #1 on the interface to the red
tip terminal on the canister. Reconnect the power wires as they were formerly connected
(#2 on the left and #1 on the right).
• Always check the fill and drain solenoids for proper operation after replacing the canister.
10.8.3 Circuit Board Adjustments
Humidifier operation is governed by the humidifier control board. There are three potentiometers
mounted on the board. These pots can be used to adjust for extreme water conductivity conditions and
capacity.

POT2 controls the amperage at which the drain will energize. The pot is clearly marked in percentages.
This adjustment is factory-set at 85%, which indicates that the unit will drain when the amperage falls off
to 85% of the capacity setpoint. Raising the value increases the frequency of drain cycles. Lowering the
value decreases the frequency of drain cycles. The frequency should be increased for highly conductive
water and decreased for less conductive water. If adjustment is necessary and a change of three to four
percent in either direction does not permit normal operation of the unit, consult your Vertiv supplier.

POT1 controls the duration of the drain cycle. The pot is clearly marked in seconds. This adjustment is
factory-set at 60 seconds and should not be readjusted without consulting your Vertiv supplier.

POT3 is factory-set at 100%. The maximum capacity of the system is not field adjustable.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. The DIP switches must be set
exactly as indicated in 10.8.3 above. Failure to correctly set the DIP switches may result in an
electrical or water hazard.

The DIP switch sets the capacity of the humidifier. If you replace the humidifier, set the DIP switches on
the circuit board based on the voltage and capacity of your unit shown in Table 10.2 below.
