Enable the corresponding sensors to be included in the aggregate temperature measurement. Set the
aggregation method to average or maximum. The aggregated temperature will be displayed at the
bottom of the screen.
• Supply Control: When the supply sensor is set to Control, the unit will control the amount of
cooling / heating being provided based on maintaining the discharge air temperature. The return
air sensor may still be used to control fan, humidity or as temperature/humidity reference of the
room.
• Supply Limit: The supply limit can be enabled only when the unit’s temperature control sensor
is set to either Remote Sensor or Return Sensor. The unit may be set up with the supply air
sensor to maintain a minimum air temperature under a raised floor to help prevent condensation.
To avoid supply temperatures that are too low, the supply limit can influence the opening of
three-point or analog actuators, or compressor capacity. The control compares the deviation from
the return air setpoint and the supply limit setpoint and calculates the output to the actuator
from the smaller deviation.
When the supply air sensor is set for Temperature control, additional Supply Air configuration
parameters (valve pulse, cooling filters and return compensation) can be used to enhance the
supply air control.
• Valve Pulse and Cooling Filter Timer: The valve pulse and cooling filter timer can be
adjusted to prevent oscillation around the supply setpoint and still allow for rapid cooling capacity
adjustments to compensate for heat load changes. Contact your local Emerson Network Power
Liebert Services personnel for adjustments.

Liebert Optimized Aisle Control
The Liebert iCOM Optimized Aisle Control has been developed to take advantage of the variable fan
speed (EC or VFD Fans) and variable capacity (Chilled Water, 4-Step and Digital Scroll) components
that are available on some units. This new control scheme uses this variable capacity technology and
applies it to ensure that the inlet air temperature to the server is maintained while providing the
greatest amount of energy savings. Maintaining the rack inlet air temperature ensures that the IT
equipment operates trouble free and keeps the server fans from ramping up from their minimum
speed.
Each Liebert cooling unit is equipped with a Liebert iCOM controller that has the ability to collect
Each Liebert cooling unit is equipped with a Liebert iCOM controller that has the ability to collect
and control a supply (Discharge) air temperature sensor, a return temperature and humidity sensor
and up to 20 rack temperature sensors. The Liebert iCOM Optimized Aisle control utilizes each of
these sensors to determine how to adjust the cooling, heating, humidification and dehumidification
capacity of the unit.
All floor mount cooling units equipped with Liebert iCOM can communicate with each other through
All floor mount cooling units equipped with Liebert iCOM can communicate with each other through
standard Ethernet connectivity. This communication between the units allows coordination of cooling
capacity, zoned air flow distribution, fail over protection and different modes of standby operation. To
reach the full benefit of the Liebert iCOM Optimized Aisle Control, the units must have this network
connected.
Upgrades are available for most Liebert cooling units that are not equipped with the Liebert iCOM or
Upgrades are available for most Liebert cooling units that are not equipped with the Liebert iCOM or
with a variable speed fan. Contact local Emerson representative for additional information.

On units equipped with a 3P actuator type valve, response can be improved by using the
feedback signal. Feedback is not required for supply air control and is not available on units
with fluid economizer. See 3.3.3 - Chilled Water Control.

Supply control and limit are calculated on each unit, independent of the other sensor readings
