Standard Features
Insulated Panels
The frame is constructed of 16 
gauge steel sheet metal for 
maximum strength. All exterior 
panels and corner posts on the 
frame are powder coated for 
durability and an attractive finish. 
The side panels are double wall 
construction (inner and outer 
panels) with insulation between.  
The insulation is 12 mm (1/2 in) 
thick fiberglass.  The walls isolate 
the insulation from the air stream 
and further reduce sound levels. 
Panels are hinged and removable 
for easy access.  The cabinet is 
serviceable from the front of the 
unit.
Electronically Commutated 
(EC) Fans
Each unit is equipped with 
electronically commutated (EC) 
fan modules. This technology 
increases fan efficiency by up to 
30% while reducing operating 
costs.  Each fan module has an 
anti-vibration mounting to isolate 
it from the unit structure.  
Electrical Panel
The electrical panel contains the 
contactors, starters, overload 
protection devices, and input 
power disconnects. 
Main Power Disconnect 
Switch
A main power disconnect switch 
disconnects all high voltage  
power to the unit if necessary.  
The disconnect switch is 
accessible without removing the 
electric box cover.
Network Management Card
Permits multi-level access to 
monitoring, control, and event 
notification features over the 
building management network.
Refrigeration System and 
Compressor
The refrigeration system operates 
under a master controller for 
greater efficiency and accuracy. 
Suction and discharge pressures 
(DX models) are monitored and 
electronically controlled. The 
scroll compressors are designed 
for year-round operation with a 
15-year life expectancy. The 
controller microprocessor 
provides real-time suction and 
discharge pressure readings 
reported by transducers installed 
on the refrigeration system.
For compressor protection, the 
InRoom precision air conditioner 
utilizes charge isolation and crank 
case heaters during off cycles 
(DX only).  This eliminates the 
threat of liquid refrigerant 
migration that could lead to 
compressor slugging and 
lubrication issues.
Mains Automatic Transfer 
Switches
Mains automatic transfer switches 
allow two power sources to be 
connected to the cooling unit. A 
secondary power source 
(generator or UPS) can be 
automatically transferred in the 
event of a failure of the main 
power source to maintain cooling. 
Programmable switches are 
voltage adjustable with On and 
Off delay which can be adjusted 
from 0 to 20 seconds. The Off 
delay should be set to 3 seconds. 
Contact customer support for 
assistance to determine your 
requirements.
Duct Flange
A 25 mm (1 in) duct flange is 
included for the upflow units to 
provide convenient connection to 
external ductwork for either 
supply or return air as needed.
Evaporative Freeze 
Protection
Suction pressure is actively 
monitored by two individual 
sensors and controlled by the 
microprocessor controller to 
calculate the opening of the 
electronic expansion valve,  
eliminating the risk of condensate 
freeze-up on the evaporator coil.
Redundant Group Control
Allows up to 16 units to 
communicate with each other for 
redundancy, demand fighting 
prevention, and mode assist. 
Global sharing of certain settings 
requires a twisted pair shielded 
wiring interconnection.
30% ASHRAE 52.1 Filters
The filtration of conditioned air is 
extremely vital to maintaining the 
clean, particle-free environment 
required by electrical equipment. 
The system uses 30% (100 
micron)  filters, with full depth 
filter pleats.  Deeper filters 
produce a lower pressure drop, 
requiring less energy during 
normal operation.  Filters are 
replaceable through the front of 
the upflow unit and through the 
top of the downflow unit.
Condenser (Direct 
Expansion units only)
Standard air cooled condensers 
are suitable for cooling up to the 
maximum ambient temperature of 
either 35°C (95°F) or 46.1°C 
(115°F) depending on the 
requirement.  These condensers 
have variable fan speed controls 
to allow operation down to 
-28.9°C (-20°F).
