Variable Speed Fans—EC or Variable Frequency Drives
The Liebert iCOM control can adjust airflow manually through a BMS or dynamically using locally 
installed temperature sensors. Parameters related to VSD fan speed setting can be found in the 
Service Menu > Setpoints submenu on page 5 of 8. This menu allows the cooling unit's fan motor 
speed to be configured and adjusted for a variety of applications by selecting which sensor controls the 
fan speed. 
Four fan control modes are available: Manual, Supply, Return and Remote. All units ship from the 
factory with the temperature control and fan speed control sensor set to the Return Air Sensor.
• Manual Control: When set to Manual, the speed of the fan motor can be wrote using a hard 
wired analog input or remotely through an optional Liebert IntelliSlot
®
 card. Hard wired analog 
input signal types include 4-20mA, 0-10 VDC or 0-5VDC. See 6.0 - External Communication—
 for more information regarding Liebert 
iCOM intellislot monitoring options.
Before the building management system can control the fan speed, two parameters in the control 
must be set. S146 “Fan Control Sensor” must read Manual and line S164 “Allow BMS to change 
Fanspeed” must be changed to YES at the Liebert iCOM. Both parameters are found in Service 
Menus > Service Setpoints.
Figure 19 Setting manual fan control and changing the setpoint
Fan speed may be written through the building management system to line S152. The user can 
change this locally. However, if the speed is set by the BMS, it will override the local setting.
• Supply, Return and Remote Control: These selections allow fan modulation using an 
equipped return, supply or remote sensor; see Table 4 for applicable control sensor combinations. 
If the fan control and the temperature control sensor have the same sensor selected, the control is 
considered coupled. If different sensors are selected, the control is considered decoupled. When 
operating the fan in coupled mode, the fan speed follows the call for cooling to reach the 
temperature setpoint. When the fans are operating in decoupled mode, the fans are ramped 
following the fan control band to achieve the fan setpoint.
