3.1.3 Back-Draft Fan Damper—Units with Centrifugal Fans
The Liebert iCOM can operate mechanical dampers using digital outputs on the main control board to 
prevent airflow from entering a standby unit. Dampers can be controlled with or without a damper 
end switch. If a damper end switch is used, the Liebert iCOM will monitor damper operation and 
annunciate a Damper Failure event if the damper is not able to open. Damper opening and closing 
will be displayed in the unit status portion of the unit view screen.
The integral relay on the control board is rated up to 27VAC and 2A. An additional contactor or 
control relay with power supply will be required if the application exceeds this limit.
3.1.4 Power Monitoring
The user can connect h up to six power meters per unit. Power meters are factory-programmed to 
monitor power characteristics for either individual component or total units. These meters allow the 
user to monitor connection status, input undervoltage, input RMS voltage leg-to-leg and leg-to-
ground, input current for each phase, energy consumption in kilowatt hours and instantaneous power 
in watts. The intelligent meters allow the user to monitor power consumption before and after making 
changes to the Liebert iCOM. This allows the user to determine the most efficient control setup for 
their data center.
3.1.5 General Compressor Operation
Low-Pressure Time Delay
When the compressor starts, the low-pressure input is ignored for a selected period of time based on 
the setting of the Low Pressure Alarm Delay (Service Menu, Options Setup). This time is usually set 
to 3 minutes on air-cooled units, and to 0 or 1 minute on water cooled units. When this time is 
expired, a second timer starts to operate if the low-pressure input is active. This second timer is active 
during normal compressor operation to avoid compressor trips due to bubbles in the refrigerant or 
other influences creating short trips of the low-pressure device. The low-pressure device input is 
ignored if the compressor is not operating. Exception: Pump Down (see Pump Down).
Advanced DX Freeze Protection
The advanced low-pressure routine is automatically used when a unit is equipped with the Liebert 
iCOM, unloading compressors (Tandem Scroll, Digital Scroll, and 4-Step), low-pressure transducers, 
and variable fan speed (VFD or EC fans). The low-pressure routine monitors the low-pressure 
transducers and interacts with the fan and compressor to prevent the unit’s coil from freezing.
Applying fan speed to direct expansion systems generates the issue of how to avoid freezing 
condensate on the coil when the unit operates below 100% fan speed. Liebert iCOM's advanced freeze 
protection provides the ability to predict freeze conditions and correct this condition automatically by 
adjusting the fan speed and compressor capacity.
Compressor Type Support
• Digital scroll (all sizes)
• Tandem scroll
• Four-step (all sizes)
• No standard scroll support
Freeze Protection
• Fan and compressor will override sensors when freezing is detected
• Fan ramps up first, then compressor unloads
NOTE
Low-pressure condition could be read through contacts or through pressure transducers with 
threshold setting.
NOTE
Pressure transducers have been installed in all Liebert DS
, Liebert PDX
, Liebert DSE
 and 
Liebert Challenger 3000
 units. Some older systems may have low-pressure switches that 
cannot utilize the advanced freeze protection routine described above. Units equipped with 
such low-pressure switches have a higher minimum fan speed setting due to this limitation. 
Pressure transducers can be installed in older equipment in the field if lower fan speed settings 
are desired. Contact your local Emerson distributor for more information.
