Minimum Fan Speed
Depending on the product control design, there may be an internal minimum speed, as defined by
that specific product operation. Minimum fan speeds are defined below.
• Direct expansion units with pressure transducers 70%
• Chilled water units 60% (available option to 25%)
• Direct expansion units with low-pressure switches limited to 80%.
• Direct expansion units with standard scroll or 2-step semi-hermetic compressor(s) limited to
• Chilled water units 60% (available option to 25%)
• Direct expansion units with low-pressure switches limited to 80%.
• Direct expansion units with standard scroll or 2-step semi-hermetic compressor(s) limited to
100%.

lowered from the values above.
Additional fan speed configuration parameters include a fan speed filter and fan speed reposition
delay timer. These parameters allow fine tuning the fan speed control and, except for setting to
Manual, are applicable to any other operation mode set in the VSD fan speed setting.
• The fan speed filter allows the fan to respond at a different rate depending on the location of the
control point within the proportional band.
Example: When the controlled temperature is near the setpoint or at conditions where the
Example: When the controlled temperature is near the setpoint or at conditions where the
proportional band output is decreasing and approaching 0%, the fan speed change rates are
proportionally decreased to avoid overshooting the controlled temperature. However, when the
temperature rises above the setpoint or at conditions where the proportional band output is
increasing, the fan speed change rates are proportionally increased.
• The fan speed reposition delay timer setting in the Liebert iCOM menu may be changed to
improve the fan operation stability if it is oscillating. The delay timer holds back the fan output
change until each delay period is reached if fan speed is decreasing. If fan speed is increasing,
then the delay timer has no effect.
Fluid or Air Economizer with Variable Fan Speed Fans
An option in Service Menus > Setpoints > FC / AirEco Ramp Up w/CFC, allows the fan to ramp with
the economizer. The default value is No, allowing the fan ramp independently of free-cooling. When
set to Yes, the control will compare the call for fan to the free-cooling request. This will provide the
most capacity from the Liebert Air Economizer and will help in holding off the mechanical cooling
(second stage). When the economizer is not available, the fan will ramp based on the fan control
sensor deviation from setpoint.

• The fan speed lower and upper limit settings are set at the factory.
• The standard fan speed control will be overridden during a call for Dehumidification if the
function is enabled. When there is a call for dehumidification, the fan speed will change to
the VSD Setpoint Dehum parameter found in the Service Menu>Setpoints. This routine may
be disabled in Service Menus>Options setup line S419.
• The standard fan speed control will be overridden during a call for humidification or reheat.
During a call for humidification or reheat, the fan speed will change to a higher speed,
which is set at the factory to eliminate the possibility of condensation or damage to the unit.
NOTE
This feature is overridden in Manual fan control. Fan control must be in a decoupled mode.
