Introduction
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Product Description and Features

The Liebert MC condenser is a low-profile, direct-drive propeller fan-type air-cooled unit suitable for
mounting outdoors. It provides heat rejection for either one or two separate refrigeration circuits, matches
the heat rejection capacity corresponding with the outdoor ambient temperature and with each
corresponding compressor heat rejection requirements. Constructed with an aluminum cabinet, galvanized
steel frame and microchannel coil, the unit is quiet and corrosion resistant. The condenser is quickly and
easily installed, because all internal wiring is completed at the factory with only electrical connections to be
made at the job site. All electrical connections and controls are enclosed in an integral weatherproof
section of the condenser.
Figure 1-1 Two-fan Liebert MC

Introduction
1.2 Control, Fan Types and Features

1.2.1 Premium Efficiency Control/EC Fan
Premium Efficiency Controls and EC fans are matched to provide superior system energy efficiency. The
premium control board allows CANbus communication with the indoor units Liebert iCOM control. This
communication feature provides compressor run signals, condenser operating mode changes, condenser
alarm monitoring, simplified system charging procedures and outdoor temperature monitoring. The fans
are controlled by the premium control board using pressure transducer signals from the refrigerant circuit
and factory programming to control the refrigerant head pressure.
The Premium Efficiency Control board on a Liebert MC with a dual refrigeration circuit adjusts the speed of
fans on each circuit to match each circuits head pressure conditions. On a Liebert MC with multiple fans
and a single refrigeration circuit, the premium control adjusts the fans to the same speed to maintain head
pressure. The control system provides refrigerant head pressure control for outdoor ambient temperatures
as low as -30F (-35C), provided that the total design range (from minimum to maximum) is 125F (70C)
or less. For traditional DX applications, Liebert Lee-Temp kits are required only when the design
temperature ranges exceed 125F (70C) for standard match-ups and 115F (65C) for Liebert Quiet-
Line match-ups.
1.2.1.1 Anti-Freezing Operation

The EC fans must be operated periodically in cold weather to reduce the possibility of lockup due to ice
and snow accumulation. During periods of inactivity and outdoor temperatures below 35F (1.6C), the EC
fans will spin for at least 30 seconds every 15 minutes at 60% of the maximum fan speed.
1.2.1.2 Fan Reversal for Cleaning

The Liebert iCOM can be used to run the Premium EC fans in reverse to clear loose debris from the coil
between scheduled coil cleanings. The fan reversal may be done manually or automatically based on a
user-programmed schedule. Automatic fan reversal interval occurs when the indoor unit is Off (BMS Off,
U2U network standby or Remote Shut Down [RSD]).
1.2.1.3 Low-Noise Feature

The low-noise feature allows setting the condenser fans to operate at a specified speed to reduce
operating noise at certain times. Special match-ups of premium condensers are available for applications
needing to meet stringent sound regulations. Lower sound levels are achieved by oversizing the
condenser, which decreases the maximum airflow and sound level produced by the condenser. This
feature requires special setup of the indoor unit. One or more Liebert Lee-Temp receivers are required.
The premium control has gain schedules that will override the user-defined low-noise schedule to prevent
a high-pressure condition from occurring.

Introduction
1.3 Liebert Lee-Temp Refrigerant Control

The Liebert Lee-Temp head pressure control system utilizes head pressure control valve(s), extra
refrigerant and insulated refrigerant receiver(s) with heater pads to assist system starting. The Liebert Lee-
Temp control system also maintains proper operating head pressures in outdoor temperatures below the
rating point of the Liebert MC control type. The system works by flooding the condenser coil with liquid
refrigerant to a level that balances the system condensing requirements with the condenser coil surface
available to reject the system heat. During the summer, the system requires the entire condenser coil
surface for heat rejection and most of the refrigerant is stored in the receiver. In the winter, the same
amount of heat can be rejected by only a fraction of the coil surface. As head pressure begins to fall, the
control valve restricts the flow of liquid refrigerant from the condenser. This extra liquid refrigerant reduces
the effective condenser surface area available for heat transfer. The head pressure control valve also
bypasses hot gas into the receiver to warm the liquid and maintain liquid pressure for proper operation of
the expansion valve. Liebert Lee-Temp kit is optional for condensers and is field-installed. Condenser
control boards are factory-configured for Liebert Lee-Temp if they are ordered with Liebert Lee-Temp
receivers. They can be field-configured if a Liebert Lee-Temp system is added later.
1.4 Surge Protective Device

An optional Surge Protective Device (SPD) can be field-wired to protect the condenser from power surges
that threaten sensitive equipment. The condensers electrical panel provides a terminal block to allow the
SPD to be wired in parallel with the high-voltage power. An additional low-voltage terminal block is
provided on condensers with Premium Control Boards to allow monitoring of the SPD alarm circuit.
Emerson Network Powers 420 Series surge protective device provides 50kA per mode of surge current
protection. An illuminated green LED indicates the SPD is On and operating properly. An illuminated red
LED indicates that the device may require replacement.
When both LEDs are Off, there is no power to the condenser, either from a power failure or because the
condenser disconnect is in the Off position.

2.0 Site Preparation
2.1 Site Considerations

Condensers should be installed in a location offering maximum security and access for maintenance.
Avoid ground-level sites with public access and areas prone to heavy snow or ice accumulations.
To ensure adequate air supply, Emerson recommends that condensers be installed in an area with
clean air, away from loose dirt and foreign matter that might clog the coil. In addition, condensers
should be located no closer than 3 feet (1m) from a wall, obstruction or adjacent unit.
For roof installation, mount the condenser on suitable curbs or other supports in accordance with local
codes.
Condensers must not be installed in a pit.
Condensers must be installed on a level surface to ensure proper refrigerant flow.
Use caution when installing condensers below the indoor unit. Condensers must not be installed more
than 15ft. (4.6m) below the indoor unit. Condensers with Liebert Lee-Temp receivers must be
installed at or above the level of the indoor units to maintain proper subcooling.
Liebert Lee-Temp receiver tanks should be mounted on the condenser legs for proper operation.
Contact Emerson Application Engineering Department for assistance with applications requiring
remote mounting of receivers.
Condensers must be installed in vertical airflow orientation to maintain the electrical boxs NEMA 3R
rating.

unit.
NOTE
The Liebert MC Condenser is designed to operate with Wye-connected power with a solidly
grounded neutral. It will not operate properly with Wye-connected power with high-resistance (or
impedance) ground or with delta-connected power. Refer to 4.1.1 - Wye- vs. Delta-Connected
Power Supply.
Condenser-rated voltage should be verified with available power supply before installation. Refer to the
units electrical schematic and serial tag for specific electrical requirements.
Liebert MC condenser power connections are provided for three-phase wires and 1 earth ground wire.
Line voltage electrical service is required for all condensers at the location of the condenser. The voltage
supply to the condenser may not be the same voltage supply as required by the indoor unit. Consider
using a UPS on both data center cooling units and Liebert MC condensers to maintain uninterrupted
cooling capability. Refer to the units serial tag for specific condenser electrical requirements. A unit
disconnect is standard. However, a site disconnect may be required by local code to isolate the unit for
maintenance. Route the supply power to the site disconnect switch and then to the unit. Route the conduit
to the knockout provided in the bottom right end of the electrical control enclosure. Connect the earth
ground wire lead to the marked earth ground connection terminal provided near the factory-installed
disconnect switch (see Figure 4-8).
NOTE
Liebert Lee-Temp kits require a separate line voltage electrical supply for the heated receivers.
See Table 4-2 for power requirements.

Piping
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.
5.1 Piping Guidelines

Indoor units and condensers both ship with holding charges of inert gas. Do not vent the condenser until all
refrigerant piping is in place, ready for connection to indoor unit and condenser.
Use copper piping with a brazing alloy with a minimum temperature of 1350F (732C), such as Sil-
Fos. Avoid soft solders such as 50/50 or 95/5.
Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper oxide scale
inside the piping. When copper is heated in the presence of air, copper oxide forms. POE oil will
dissolve these oxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit them throughout the system, clogging
filter driers and affecting other system components.
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.

Piping
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.

5.2 Field Piping Guidelines

One discharge line and one liquid line must be field-installed for each circuit of the indoor unit and the
outdoor condenser(s). Dual circuit condensers are available for most dual circuit indoor unit applications.
Refer to Figures 5-1 through 5-8 for additional field-installed piping needed at the condenser. This piping
is needed for proper system performance and for installation/interconnecting receivers and head pressure
control valves for Liebert Lee-Temp systems.
NOTE
Keep the evaporator unit and condenser closed with their factory charge of inert gas while all field
piping is installed. Keep the field piping clean and dry during installation, and do not allow it to
stand open to the atmosphere.
When all the field interconnecting piping is in place, vent the condensers inert gas charge and
connect to the field piping. Finally, vent the evaporator units charge of inert gas and make its
piping connection last.
Follow all proper brazing practices, including a dry nitrogen purge to maintain system cleanliness.
The condenser connection pipes must be wrapped with a wet cloth to keep the pressure and
temperature sensors cool during any brazing.

5.3 Refrigerant Planning Values

Planning for the refrigerant requirements of the completed system is the total of the charges from Indoor
Unit, Condenser (including Liebert Lee-Temp receiver, if used) and the interconnecting piping. Tables 5-
5, 5-6, 5-8 and 5-9 provide the approximate charge required for the condensers, recommended refrigerant
pipe sizes and the interconnecting piping. Consult indoor unit manuals for indoor unit charge requirements.
These values can be used for obtaining adequate refrigerant for the system, but should not be used for
final charging.
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.

5.4 Equipment Application Guidelines

Pump-down must be disabled on the indoor unit when using the Liebert MC condenser, due to the reduced
volume in the condenser coil.
Emerson recommends adding a discharge line check valve and crankcase heater when connecting the
Liebert MC condenser to Liebert indoor units built before 2012. The check valve and crankcase heater are
needed for compressor protection. Additional liquid line Schrader ports are required at the indoor unit to
properly charge systems with Liebert MC condensers.
5.5 Refrigerant Oil Addition Procedures

Consult the user manual for the indoor unit to determine whether additional oil is required for each circuit.
Factors such as compressor, condenser type, piping lengths, receiver and total circuit refrigerant charge
influence this requirement.
5.6 System Dehydration/Leak Test

Procedures for leak check and evacuation of the entire refrigeration system are contained in the indoor
units installation manual. Use the proper manual section corresponding to the winter control system used
on the condenser (with or without Liebert Lee-Temp or Liebert DSE receivers) and the refrigerant to be
charged into the system.
5.7 System Charging with Liebert MC

5.7.1 Liebert MC Charging, Units with Liebert Lee-Temp Receivers
Consult the indoor units manual for charging systems with Liebert Lee-Temp receivers. These procedures
will be identical to systems with fin/tube condenser coils, but the refrigerant volumes will be much lower.
Consult Tables 5-5 and 5-6 for refrigerant required by a condenser with Liebert Lee-Temp.
5.7.2 Liebert MC Condenser Charging with Liebert DSE Receivers

Consult the Liebert DSE manual (SL-18925) for charging Liebert DSE systems. All Liebert DSE require
installation of a Liebert DSE receiver on each condenser circuit, with or without a Liebert EconoPhase
pump module installed. Consult Table 5-6 for condenser and receiver refrigerant requirements.

Piping
5.7.3 Liebert MC Charging, Premium Efficiency Control, Units without

Receivers
Liebert MC condensers are charge-sensitive and require accurate calculation of the system charge to
avoid overcharging. To avoid overcharge, additional guidelines are recommended to ensure trouble-free
operation.
When charging system in an outdoor ambient below 50F (10C), recheck the subcooling against
Table 5-10 when the ambient temperature is above 60F (15.6C)
The indoor space should be maintained at 70-80F (21-26.7C) return air before final charge
adjustments are made.
Charging a unit at temperatures above 80F (26.7C) return air may result in the unit being
overcharged.
Charge by subcooling measurement at the indoor unit. See Table 5-10 for target subcooling
temperatures.
Pressure and temperature measuring instruments should be capable of measuring to 10 psig
(68.9kPa) and 2F (1.1C) for best subcooling measurement.
1. Check the nameplate on the indoor unit for refrigerant type to be used. Unit control configurations differ
depending on refrigerant type.
2. Refrigerant charging requires the unit to be in operation. Refer to the indoor units user manual for the
Checklist for Completed Installation.
3. Calculate the amount of charge for the system. Refer to the indoor unit user manual, and condenser
and refrigerant line charge data in Tables 1 and 2.
4. Weigh in as much of the system charge as possible before starting the unit.
Do not exceed the calculated charge by more than 0.5 lb. (0.23kg).
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).

Piping
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.

Data based on 50F Evap, 15F superheat, 125F SCT, 10F subcooling.
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.

indoor unit that the compressor(s) are On. Consider using UPS equipment on both data center cooling
units and Liebert MC condensers to maintain uninterrupted cooling capability.
For the first 60 seconds of operation after the compressor turns on, the condenser fan(s) will run at a fixed
speed, set at the factory, based on ambient temperature: faster at higher temperatures, slower at lower
temperatures. After 60 seconds, the control adjusts the fan speed based on the liquid pressure transducer.
If the liquid pressure transducer fails, the condenser uses temperature sensors to control the fan speed
based on the liquid line temperature. The condenser fans continue to operate for approximately 30
seconds after compressors turn Off.
The Liebert MC fans have various alarm conditions, such as loss of voltage and loss of control signal, that
will stop the condenser fans. Once the alarm condition is no longer present the Liebert MC fans will turn on
automatically if compressors are On.

10.1 Seismic Anchoring Considerations

Mounting requirement details such as anchor brand, type, embedment depth, edge spacing, anchor-
to-anchor spacing, concrete strength, special instruction and attachment to non-building structures
must be outlined and approved by the engineer of record for the project or building. Structural floors
and housekeeping pads must also be seismically designed and approved by the project or building
structural engineer of record to withstand the seismic anchor loads defined in Table 10-1. The
installing contractor is responsible for the proper installation of all anchors and mounting hardware,
observing the mounting requirements detailed in the seismic installation drawings as outlined by the
engineer of record.
All braces and fasteners are required to maintain IBC/OSHPD certification of conformity.
Use a washer, lock washer and screw to connect the brace to the bottom beam of the condenser. (See
Figure 10-2.)
Use a washer, lock washer and screw to connect the brace to the condenser leg. (See Figure 10-2)
Place anchorage plate inside each condenser foot of 18-in. legs prior to fastening to the structure. MC
condensers with 36-in., 48-in. or 60-in. legs do not require separate anchorage plates for the legs. Use
a flat washer, lock washer and nut to connect the condenser to the customer-supplied anchor on the
solid surface (reference Detail A in Figure 10-1). As a minimum, 3/8 grade anchors with American
National Standard Series W, Type A, plain washers (ANSI B18.22.1-1965, R1975) selected to match
the nominal anchor diameter must be installed at each anchor location between the anchor head and
equipment for tension load distribution.

10.2 Seismic piping considerations

Condensers for seismic application must be attached to the piping system with field-supplied, flexible loops
designed for seismic movement. Flexible loops must be capable of movement in three dimensions and
must isolate the condenser from the field piping. The loops must be suitable for the operating pressure and
temperature of the system. Follow manufacturers installation instructions for proper seismic application of
flexible loops. The selection of isolation brand and type must be outlined and approved by the engineer of
record for the project or building.
10.3 Seismic wiring considerations

Condensers for seismic application must be connected to power and control circuits using field-supplied
flexible conduit and conductors to allow movement of the condenser in three dimensions during a seismic
event. The flexible conduit must have at least one bend between the rigid connection at the unit cabinet
and the connection to rigid conduit or foundation.

11.1 General Procedures

NOTE
When ordering replacement parts for equipment, it is necessary to specify unit model number,
serial number and voltage. Please record those numbers in the spaces below.
Model Number ________________

Serial Number ________________
Voltage / Phase / Frequency ________________
Periodic attention is necessary for continued satisfactory operation of your unit. Restricted air flow through
the condenser coil, reduced airflow from non-functioning fans and low refrigerant system charge levels will
reduce the operating efficiency of the unit and can result in high condensing temperatures and loss of
cooling. In winter, do not permit snow to accumulate around the sides or underneath the condenser coil.
Monthly and semi-annual inspections and maintenance are recommended for proper system operation.
Use copies of 12.0 - Preventive Maintenance Checklist for each of these inspections.
If performance or operation problem are detected at anytime, refer to 9.2 - Premium Efficiency
Condenser Alarm Codes for required action.

System Maintenance
11.2 Condenser Cleaning

Keeping the outdoor condenser coils clean is an important factor in maintaining peak efficiency, reliability
and long life of the equipment. The unit will operate more efficiently with frequent cleanings. Delaying
cleaning until heavy buildup occurs may create head pressure problems with the evaporator units.
11.2.1 When to Clean the Condenser Coil

Normal conditions typically dictate cleaning twice a year, spring and fall. On-site or area conditions such as
cottonwood trees, construction, etc., can increase cleaning frequency. On your standard monthly
preventive maintenance schedule, Emerson recommends a visual inspection of the coil to monitor
conditions.
11.2.2 What to Use to Clean the Condenser Coil

The best overall condenser coil cleaner to use is plain water. If the coil has been maintained and cleaned
at regular intervals, water is sufficient to remove dirt and debris from the fins. Heavy build up on the
exterior of the fins can be removed with a brush. Water pressure from a garden hose and sprayer usually
works well. If a pressure washer is used, make sure the equipment is set to a lower pressure setting and
that the nozzle is set to the fan spray, not stream. Otherwise, damage to the fins could result. If a cleaner is
required, Emerson recommends using a neutral cleaner, neither acidic nor base. Acid-type cleaners can
damage the coil fins and surrounding areas. Many sites do not allow the use of acidic cleaners for
environmental reasons.
11.2.3 How to Clean the Condenser Coil

The Liebert MC coil is accessible for cleaning through the innovative cleaning window design, allowing you
to clean the coil without removing the fans from the unit. First, this requires disconnecting the power supply
before working on the unit and then opening the cleaning window(s) on the side of the unit by loosing the
mounting screws. Then insert a spray nozzle on the end of a suitable extension and apply the
water/cleaning solution, working back and forth across the coil face. The solution will push the dirt and
debris out the bottom of the coil. If you are using a cleaner along with the spraying process, follow
recommended manufacturer instructions and be sure to rinse the coil thoroughly. Any residue left on the
coil can act as a magnet to dirt. Reinstall the cleaning window(s) and reconnect the power supply to the
condenser.
Spraying the coil from the outside repeatedly can push a majority of the dirt to the inner section of the fins
and continue to restrict air flow. Keep in mind you may not have the luxury of shutting the unit(s) down for
an extended time. A scheduled shutdown with the operator may be in order.
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.
NOTE
Clean the EC fan with water only when temperatures are greater than 50F (10C)
Make sure that no water gets into the inside of the motor.
Do not hold the jet spray directly on the motor openings and seals.
During cleaning work using a jet spray, no guarantee is assumed regarding corrosion
formation/paint adhesion for unpainted/painted fans.

11.3 Fan Replacement

Source: INST-9168, Rev. 3
! WARNING
Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote unit electric power disconnect
switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear protective equipment per NFPA 70E
before working within the electric enclosure. Failure to comply can cause injury or death.
Unit contains potentially lethal voltage in some circuits.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel may perform repair, maintenance and cleaning on
these units.
! WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause serious injury or death.
The fan motor control can contain a residual electric charge after power is disconnected. Do not
open the motor electrical-connection enclosure within the first 10 minutes after disconnection of all
phases.
! WARNING
Risk of contact with high-speed, rotating fan blades. Can cause injury or death.
The fan blades can start rotating without warning any time during a cooling cycle or after power is
restored after a power failure. Disconnect all local and remote electrical power supplies to the unit,
wait 10 minutes and verify with a voltmeter that the power is Off and that all fan blades have
stopped rotating before working on or near the fans.
! CAUTION
Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury.
Use proper skin protection when touching the electronics housing or allow time for the housing to
cool before replacing parts. The electronics housing can get hot and can cause severe burns.
The fan motors and refrigerant discharge lines are extremely hot during unit operation. Allow
sufficient time for them to cool before working within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and
wear protective gloves and arm protection when working on or near fan motors and discharge
lines.
! CAUTION
Risk of improper moving, lifting and handling of heavy fan modules. Can cause equipment
damage or injury.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should work on this equipment. Fan modules for
MCL models weigh in excess of 92lb. (40.8kg) each and fan modules for MCS and MCM models
weigh in excess of 40lb. (18.1kg.) each. Use OSHA-approved lifting techniques, proper body
mechanics and extreme caution to avoid injury and dropping of fans during removal and
installation.

11.4.2 Installation
! WARNING
Risk of arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power supply
disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate personal
protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working within the electric control enclosure or the fan
motor connection box(es). Failure to comply can cause serious injury or death.
This unit contains lethal voltage. The line side of the unit disconnect switch remains energized
when the unit disconnect switch is in the Off position. Use a voltmeter to verify that the line side
input electric power to the unit disconnect switch is Off before working on any electrical
components or connections.
1. Turn Off the disconnect switch on the enclosure cover.

2. Open the control enclosure cover.
3. Manually turn On the disconnect switch. Power is On and a shock hazard exists with exposure to
hazardous voltage components.
4. If the board can still be powered up and has a display, record the parameter settings. To obtain
parameters go to the C-- menu and press the Up or Down button to read and record the values for
C03-09 and C27.
5. Record all of the DIP switch positions for the CANbus DIP switch package. Retain these for setting up
the new board.
6. Record the positions of the jumpers for J2, J4, J5 and J6 on control board in the unit. Retain these for
setting up the new board.
7. Disconnect power from the Liebert MC by turning Off the main disconnect switch.
8. Use a voltmeter to verify that voltage is no longer present in the unit.
9. Remove the plugs and field-installed wires from the old board. Note the polarity for the CANbus wiring
going to P49 and P50, if present.
10. Mark wires P49-1, P49-3, etc, if they are not already marked.
11. Remove the mechanical fasteners holding the control board in place and remove the old control board.
12. Install the new control board using the fasteners removed in Step 11.
13. Reattach the plugs. Refer to the hot-stamps on the wire harnesses that correspond to the correct plug
on the board. Verify that the plugs are installed properly.
14. Change the CANbus DIP switch positions so they match the control board that was removed. If the
Liebert MC is the second condenser on the CANbus communication line, set Position 1 of the CANbus
DIP switch from On to Off.
15. Change the jumper positions for J2, J4, J5 and J6 to match the control board that was removed. If the
Liebert MC is the last device on the CANbus communication line, move the jumper at J6 from Pins 2
and 3 to Pins 1 and 2 (see Figure 11-4).
16. Power up the unit.
17. Change the parameters to match the parameters from the control board that was removed if they were
obtained from the old board in Step 4. See Step 18 if the parameters were unavailable.
18. If the old board parameters were unavailable, use the new HMI label included in kit to obtain the proper
settings. Parameters C03, C04, C05 and C06 must be programmed with the proper EC fan supplier
used on the unit.
19. Address the fans (refer to 11.3 - Fan Replacement).

System Maintenance
20. Compare the HMI label on the unit with the latest revision.
If there are differences, clean and dry the surface of the old HMI label; attach the new label on top
of the old label, covering the old label with the new one.
21. Verify that the control board is reading pressure and temperature.
22. Verify that there are no communication alarms with the fans or with the cooling unit the Liebert MC is
serving.
23. Verify proper fan operation by adjusting the cooling unit that this condenser serves so that it calls for
cooling.
