! WARNING
Risk of improper handling, installation and service. Can cause property damage, injury or death.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should install or perform repairs or maintenance on
this unit. Read all installation, operation and safety alerts and instructions and wear appropriate
protective headgear, safety glasses, gloves and clothing before installing, operating or servicing
this unit.
! WARNING
Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power disconnect switches,
verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear personal protective equipment per NFPA 70E
before working within the electric control enclosure. Failure to comply can cause serious injury or
death.
Customer must provide earth ground to unit, per NEC, CEC and local codes, as applicable.
Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included and
check the nameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power.
The Liebert iCOM microprocessor does not isolate power from the unit, even in the Unit Off
mode. Some internal components require and receive power even during the Unit Off mode of
Liebert iCOM control.
The factory-supplied disconnect switch is inside the unit. The line side of this switch contains live
high-voltage.
The only way to ensure that there is NO voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote
disconnect switch. Refer to unit electrical schematic.
Follow all local codes.
! WARNING
Risk of contact with high-speed, rotating fan blades. Can cause serious personal injury or death.
Fan blades can automatically start rotating without warning at any time during a cooling cycle or
after power is restored after a power failure. Open all local and remote electric power supply
disconnect switches, wait 10 minutes and verify with a voltmeter that power is Off before working
within the unit cabinet, removing the fan guards or servicing the fan speed control, fan blades or
EC fan motors.
! WARNING
Risk of electrical fire and short circuit. Can cause property damage, injury or death.
Select and install the line side electrical supply wire and overcurrent protection device(s) according
to the specifications on the unit nameplate(s), per the instructions in this manual and according to
the applicable national, state and local code requirements. Use copper conductors only.
Verify that all electrical connections are tight. Unit-specific wiring diagrams are provided on each
unit.
! WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
The fan speed control and the EC fan electrical enclosures may contain a stored electrical charge.
Open all local and remote electric power disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is
Off and wait 10 minutes before working within the fan speed control and the EC fan electrical
enclosures.
! WARNING
Risk of heavy condenser falling or tipping over. Can cause property damage, serious injury or
death.
Confirm that all components of the lifting system are rated for the weight of the condenser by an
OSHA Certified rating organization before attempting to lift and/or move the condenser. See
Tables 2-1 through 2-4 for the condenser weights.
! CAUTION
Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury.
Fan motors, transformers, piping and other components may become extremely hot during normal
operation. Wear thermally insulated gloves and appropriate protective clothing and allow time for
components to cool when working within the cabinet or electric control enclosure.
! CAUTION
Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners. Can cause personal injury.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear, gloves, shoes
and glasses should attempt to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare unit for installation.
! CAUTION
Risk of explosive discharge of high-pressure gas. Can cause injury.
Relieve system pressure and verify that the indoor and outdoor units are Off before making piping
connections/disconnections.
Do not exceed the design pressure rating that is marked on the nameplate.
Do not install a shutoff valve between the compressor and the field-installed pressure relief valve.
NOTICE
Risk of interference with building doorways, openings and passages. Can cause unit and/or
building damage.
Refer to the installation plans and measure the unit and building opening before moving the unit to
verify clearances.
NOTICE
Risk of improper storage. Can cause unit damage.
Keep unit upright and protected from contact damage.
NOTICE
Risk of improper forklift handling. Can cause unit damage.
Keep the forklift tines level and at a height that will fit under the skid.
NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant R-407C and R-410A are blended refrigerants and must be introduced and charged
from the cylinder only as a liquid.
When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add the refrigerant
through the compressor suction service valve. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the
compressor.
Emerson recommends connecting a sight glass between the charging hose and the compressor
suction service valve. This will permit adjusting the cylinder hand valve so that liquid can leave the
cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the compressor.
NOTICE
Risk of refrigerant overcharge. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not use the sight glass as an indicator when charging Liebert MC condenser systems.
NOTICE
Risk of using damaging cleaning agents, including non-base paint solvents. Can cause equipment
damage and damage to property and loss of refrigerant charge.
Using acid-based or sodium hydroxide-based cleaners can damage the Liebert MC condenser coil
and cause a loss of charge. This could cause equipment damage as well as damage to the
surrounding structure.

When the Liebert MC is being moved with a forklift, Emerson recommends lifting one end off the
ground no more than 6" (152mm)and using the forklift to push or pull the unit.
When the Liebert MC is lifted with a crane, Emerson recommends using slings rated for the unit
weight.
Spreader bars must be used for sling stability and to keep the slings from pressing against the unit.
Make sure spreader bars are wider than the unit.
Place the slings near the ends of the unit, under the top deck boards of the skid.
! CAUTION
Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners. Can cause personal injury.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear, gloves, shoes
and glasses should attempt to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare unit for installation.
To unpack a condenser:
1. Remove the fence for domestic packaging (for export packaging, remove the crate).
2. Remove the exterior foam from around the unit and the electric box.
3. Remove the steel straps securing the unit to the skid.

7. Set the upright unit on the ground so the legs support unit weight.
8. Remove the straps from around unit.
9. One-fan and two-fan units: Route the straps through the large holes in the side of the legs. Spreader
bars are still required. Make sure that the spreader bars are wider than the unit.
On three-fan and four-fan units: Secure straps or chains to the eye bolts on top of the unit. Spreader
bars are still required. Make sure that the spreader bars are wider than the unit.
NOTICE
Risk of improper lifting. Can cause equipment damage.
Make sure that the spreader bars wider are than the unit. If the spreader bars are too short, the
slings may crush the unit.

1. Insert four leg bolts into the threaded holes near the corners along the long edges of the unit, leaving
approximately 1/4 (6mm) of the fastener threads exposed (see Figure 3-8). These will serve as sling
containment guides during condenser lifting and rotation. This will also permit leg attachment at the
secondary bolt locations while using the slings to lift and support the condenser weight.
2. Assemble the leg structure according to the instructions supplied with the legs.
NOTE
When assembling the leg structure, DO NOT tighten the cross-brace hardware until the condenser
cabinet is fastened to the legs.
3. Place slings around the first and second fan units against the inside of the inserted leg bolts.
4. Place slings around the third and fourth fan units against the outside of the attached eye bolts.
5. Slings are to be placed between the unit and the top deck boards of the skid.
6. Use spreader bars, lift beam and crane to lift the unit off the skid. Make sure spreader bars are wider
than the unit.

! WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury or death.
The fan speed control and the EC fan electrical enclosures may contain a stored electrical charge.
Open all local and remote electric power disconnect switches, wait 10 minutes and verify with a
voltmeter that power is Off before working within the fan speed control and the EC fan electrical
enclosures.
The Liebert MC contains lethal voltage in some circuits. The line side of the disconnect remains
energized when the condenser unit disconnect is switched to the Off position.
Use a voltmeter to verify that the line-side electrical power is Off before making any electrical
connections or performing any electrical and/or mechanical service and/or maintenance
operations.
! WARNING
Risk of contact with high-speed, rotating fan blades. Can cause serious injury or death.
Fan blades can automatically start rotating without warning at any time during a cooling cycle or
after power is restored after a power failure. Open all local and remote electric power supply
disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that the power is Off and that the fan blades have
stopped rotating before working within the cabinet or servicing fan motors.
Each unit is shipped from the factory with all internal wiring completed. Refer to the electrical
schematic supplied with the condenser when making line voltage supply, low-voltage indoor unit
interlock and any low-voltage alarm connections. All wiring must be done in accordance with all
applicable local, state and national electrical codes.

5.0 Piping
! WARNING
Risk of explosive discharge from high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause equipment damage, injury
or death.
Relieve pressure before working with or cutting into piping.
! WARNING
Risk of refrigerant system rupture or explosion from overpressurization. Can cause equipment
damage, injury or death.
Local building and plumbing codes may require that a fusible plug or other type of pressure relief
device be installed in the system. Do not install a shutoff valve between the compressor and the
field-installed relief device.
Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure relief
devices when isolation valves are installed as shown in Figure 5-1. Do not isolate any refrigerant
circuits from over-pressurization protection.
NOTE
POE (polyol ester) oil, required with R-407C/R-410A and used with some R-22 systems, is much
more hygroscopic than mineral oils. This means that POE oil absorbs water at a much faster rate
when exposed to air than previously used mineral oils. Because water is the enemy of a reliable
refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systems during installation or
service. If water is absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed and will not be removed
through the normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may require an oil change. POE oils
also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a refrigeration system. Maintaining
system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will tend to bring any foreign matter
back to the compressor or plug the microchannel coil. Always use a flow of dry nitrogen when
brazing.
A pure dry nitrogen flow of 1-3 ft3/min (0.5-1.5 l/s) inside the pipe during brazing is sufficient to displace
the air. Control the flow using a suitable metering device.
Ensure that the tubing surfaces to be brazed are clean and that the ends of the tubes have been
carefully reamed to remove any burrs.
Ensure that all loose material has been cleaned from inside the tubing before brazing.
Protect all refrigerant line components within 18" (460mm) of the brazing site by wrapping them with
wet cloth or suitable heat sink compound.
Isolate piping from building using vibration isolating supports.
Refer to the indoor units user manual for appropriate piping sizes.
Install traps on the hot gas (discharge) lines at the bottom of any rise over 5 feet high. If the rise
exceeds 25 feet (7.5m), then install a trap in 20 foot (6m) increments or evenly divided.
Pitch horizontal hot gas piping down at a minimum rate of 1/2 per 10 ft. (42mm per 10m) so that
gravity will aid in moving oil in the direction of refrigerant/oil flow.
Consult factory if Liebert Lee-Temp condenser is below the evaporator or if a condenser not
equipped with Liebert Lee-Temp is more than 15 ft (4.6m) below the evaporator.
Consult factory if piping run exceeds 150 feet (46m) equivalent length on traditional R-407C DX units.
Consult factory if piping run exceeds 300 feet (91m) equivalent length on traditional R-410A DX units.
Consult factory if piping run exceeds 300 feet (91m) actual length or 450 feet (137m) equivalent length
on units installed with Liebert EconoPhase units.
Keep piping clean and dry, especially on units with POE oil (R-407C, R-410A or R-22 refrigerant).
Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas.
Do not run piping directly in front of indoor unit discharge air stream.
Refrigerant oil do not mix oil types or viscosities. Consult indoor unit for refrigerant type and oil
requirements.
NOTE
Failure to use compressor oils recommended by compressor manufacturer will void compressor
warranty. Consult Emerson or the compressor manufacturer for further recommendations or if you
have questions about compressor oils.
Refer to ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook for general good practices for refrigeration piping. The
Liebert indoor cooling unit has a factory-installed high-pressure safety switch in the high side
refrigerant circuit. A pressure relief valve is provided with Liebert Lee-Temp receivers. A fusible
plug is factory installed in the Liebert DSE receivers. Consult local building codes to determine if
condensers without receivers will require field-provided pressure relief devices. A fusible plug kit is
available for field installation.

1. SMALL RECEIVER SHOWN. ACTUAL RECEIVER
SIZE MAY VARY.
NOTE
Due to the much smaller coil volume, the performance, especially subcooling, of a Liebert MC
condenser is quite sensitive to the amount of refrigerant charge. Ensure that an accurate amount
of refrigerant charge is added.

NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant R-407C and R-410A are blended refrigerants and must be introduced and charged
from the cylinder only as a liquid.
When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add the refrigerant
through the compressor suction service valve. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the
compressor.
Emerson recommends connecting a sight glass between the charging hose and the compressor
suction service valve. This will permit adjusting the cylinder hand valve so that liquid can leave the
cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the compressor.
NOTICE
Risk of refrigerant overcharge. Can cause equipment damage.
Do not use the sight glass as an indicator when charging Liebert MC condenser systems.
5. Turn On the Liebert MC disconnect switch.
6. Turn on the indoor unit disconnect switch. Operate the unit for 30 minutes using the charging function
of the indoor unit control for each circuit of the system. The charging function is in the diagnostic
section of the Liebert iCOM (see Liebert iCOM user manual, SL-18847, available at the Liebert Web
site (www.liebert.com).
The charging function operates the compressor(s) at full capacity and energizes the liquid line solenoid
valve(s). The reheat and humidifier are disabled. Manual operation of the indoor fans from the
diagnostic menu of the Liebert iCOM is required. A minimum 20psig (138kPa) must be established and
maintained for the compressor to operate. The charging function can be reset as many times as
required to complete unit charging.

7. Attach pressure and temperature instruments to the liquid line of the indoor unit. Measure the initial
subcooling and continue to add charge until reaching the recommended subcooling for the current
outdoor ambient temperature (see Table 5-10). The outdoor ambient can be read from the Liebert MC
condenser control menu ID F02.
NOTE
To determine subcooling measurement, a liquid line pressure reading (at the factory-installed
Schrader tap) needs to be measured along with obtaining a temperature reading on the liquid line.
Convert the liquid line pressure reading into a temperature by utilizing a Pressure-Temperature
Guide or Table 5-11. The difference between this converted temperature and the actual
temperature will determine the systems subcooling. For R-407C make sure to use the saturated
liquid temperature to calculate subcooling.
8. As head pressure builds, the variable fan speed controlled condenser fan begins rotating. The fan will
run at full speed when sufficient head pressure is developed.
