switch off the machine with this electronic insulation device to eliminate risks such as
electrical shocks, burns, automatic restarting, moving parts, and remote control. The panel key,
supplied along with the unit, must be kept by the personnel responsible for the maintenance.
The protective covers can be removed after the electric power has been cut off by opening
the main switch.
In the following sections, look at the various cautionary measures and warnings that need to
be read carefully prior to installing or operating the system.
Disconnect the local and remote power supplies prior to working with the unit.
Prior to the installation process, read all the instructions, verify if all the parts are in place, and
check the nameplate to ensure that the voltage matches the utility power that is available for
that unit.
The controller doesn’t isolate power from the unit even in the Off mode. Moreover, some
internal components require and receive power even during the Off mode.
If the unit door is open while the fans are operating, the airflow may result in abrupt slamming
of the door resulting in injury. Another aspect is the presence of small objects in the fans bay
V Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
which may result in object ejection during the fan start-up and there is a probable risk of being
hit by these objects leading to grievous injury as well as causing equipment damage.
The unit contains fluids and gasses under high pressure. Therefore, the pressure should be
relieved before working with the piping.
Various components such as compressors, refrigerant discharge lines, and humidifiers are
extremely hot during the unit operation. Therefore, allow sufficient time for the unit to cool
down before working with the unit cabinet. Handle the unit with extreme caution and wear
safety equipment such as protective gloves, safety shoes, and arm protection while working
with the hot compressors, discharge lines, and reheats.
There is a risk of leaking water that can cause damage to the equipment as well as the

2.2 Installation Preparation (Site Preparation) The PEX+ series of air conditioners is streamlined for maintaining a favorable environment for
data centers, computer rooms, and similar ecosystems. Strict adherence to the installation
procedures is mandatory to ascertain proper installation of the air conditioner.
2.2.1 Equipment Room Requirement
Before installation, the equipment room must be prepared to ensure a smooth operation flow
and obtain accurate results. The equipment room must meet the standards for appropriate
ventilation and heating. The design specifications for the air conditioners must be ideal and
should match the energy-efficient design standards.
Following are the requirements for maintaining a favorable room environment prior to
installation:
The room should have suitable and effective heat insulation.
• The equipment room should have a sealed damp-proof layer. Polyethylene film should be used for the damp proof layer of the ceiling and walls. Alternatively, moisture-proof paint can be used to simulate the same effect akin to Polyethylene. Care should be taken that the coating on the concrete wall and floor must be damp-proof.
• Outdoor air increases the load of heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification significantly. Therefore, all the doors and windows must be closed. Gaps and seams must be highly narrow to prevent the outdoor air from entering the equipment room. It is an industry best practice to keep the infiltration of the outdoor air below 5% of the total indoor airflow. Take appropriate thermal insulation and antifreeze measures for outdoor water pipes to avoid poor drainage and insufficient water supply caused by freezing.
Vertiv Co. recommends that the site preparation is defined as per the
requirements. However, if these requirements are not met, Vertiv Co. recommends
that rectifications be made on the site so that it complies with the specified
requirements and conditions.
However, if the rectifications or modifications are not implemented, then Vertiv Co.
does not guarantee the accuracy and precision of the temperature and humidity
provided by the PEX+ model.
19 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
2.2.2 Installation Space requirements
Adequate installation space for the indoor unit must be provided. The indoor unit of the air-cooled product must be installed on the floor of an equipment room or computer room, and the condenser can be installed on the ground of outdoor or other room. The entire water cooled precision AC shall be installed on the floor of an equipment room or computer room.
• Do not use the indoor unit in the open and severe outdoor environment. • Avoid locating the indoor unit in concave or narrow areas, which can baffle the
airflow, shorten the cooling cycle and result in air return short circuit and air noise.
• Avoid locating multiple indoor units close to each other. That can result in crossing air patterns, unbalanced load and competitive operation.
• Do not install the unit in the vicinity of any precision equipment, and prevent the leaked condensation water due to improper use of the air conditioner from affecting the operation of precision equipment.
• Do not install other devices (such as smoke detector) over the cabinet.
2.2.3 Maintenance Space requirement
Make sure to reserve the maintenance space when installing the equipment. A maintenance space of 900mm must be allocated in front of the air conditioner unit normally. The requirement for maintenance space is given in Figure 2-6.

2.5 System Installation Mode The system installation schematic diagram explains the process of installation for the
Condenser:
Figure 2-8 Condenser is placed higher than the Compressors during installation
The condenser is installed higher than the compressor. Therefore, an inverted back bend is fitted to the discharge line and the liquid line of the condenser. The modification is essential as it helps prevent the liquid refrigerant from flowing back once the condenser stops. The top end of the inverted backbend must be installed higher than the ultimate level of the copper pipe of the condenser. However, if the condenser is installed lower than the compressor, then no modification is required.
Figure 2-9 depicts the schematic diagram of system installation when the condenser is installed at a lower level than the compressor.

2.10 Piping The pipes to be included in the Piping process are listed below:
• Condensed water drainage pipe of the indoor unit; • Water inlet pipe of the humidifier; • Connection of the copper pipe (discharge pipe and liquid pipe) between the indoor
unit and outdoor unit; • Pipe extension kit (optional)
29 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
The following points need to be taken into consideration during the Piping process:
• All the joints of the refrigerating pipes must be silver-brazed. • The selection, layout, and fixing of the pipes will conform to the industry
standards and norms. • Vacuum pumping and refrigerant charging operations, and procedures must
conform to the industry standards. • Pressure drop, compressor oil return, noise, and vibration must be considered
during the designing and installation process.
2.10.1 Connecting condensate drain pipe of indoor unit
The condensate of infrared humidifier and evaporator is joined by a cross connector and
drained through the drain pipe, as shown in Figure 2-21. The pipe OD is 25mm. If the drain pipe
is used by three or more units, the minimal pipe OD should be 40mm. For the unit that uses
electrode humidifier, the inner diameter of the drain pipe is 40mm.
When connecting the drain pipe, make sure that the U bend is installed vertically and the ‘U’ shape is not distorted, so as to ensure that the condensate can be drained immediately and effectively.
Because the infrared humidifier contains flowing hot water, the water pipe must be resistant to heat higher than 90°C. For the unit that uses electrode humidifier, the drain pipe of the condensate water must be able to withstand 120°C.
Figure 2-21 Connection of drain pipe of condensate water
2.10.2 Connecting water inlet pipe of humidifier
Requirements for connecting the water inlet pipe of infrared humidifier:
• To facilitate maintenance, an isolation valve should be fitted to the water inlet pipe.
• Make sure that the connection of the water inlet pipe is well sealed to prevent leakage. The infrared humidifier reserves a copper pipe (OD: 6.35mm), as shown in Figure 2-22. There is a 1/4” copper nut at the end of the copper pipe, and the 1/4” × 1/2” conversion copper thread connector has been connected to the copper nut to avoid losing them.
30 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
• Where the main pipe pressure may rise above 700kPa (The main pipe pressure
should be between 100kPa ~ 700kPa), a pressure reducer should be fitted.
• Where the main pipe pressure falls below 100kPa, a water tank and pump
system should be used.
• Some product may include components required by local codes

2.10.3 Connecting the pipes of electrode humidifier (for the unit that uses electrode humidifier)
Requirements for connecting water inlet pipe of electrode humidifier:
• Water inlet pipe uses 3/4” G screw-threaded connection pipe.
• Water filter and water quality detection are recommended to prevent the water quality from affecting the normal operation of the humidifier.
2.10.4 Connecting copper pipes (discharge pipe and liquid pipe) between indoor unit and condenser
• Select the size of connection pipes of the indoor unit. Considering the effect of the pipe diameter on the system pressure drop, the pipe diameter of the indoor unit and outdoor unit should be determined according to the specifications in table 2.6 or consult the technicians in local Vertiv Co. office.
• Connect the copper pipes in welding mode. The connection ball valves of the
31 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
discharge pipe and liquid pipe of the indoor unit are shown in Figure 2-23. Many notes and instruction labels are pasted onto the base and side panel close to the ball valve. Note that the ball valve must be wrapped with a wet cloth before welding to protect the label from burned during the welding operation.
• Connect the discharge pipe and liquid pipe of the indoor unit according to the instructions on the label.
• Horizontal sections of the discharge pipe should be sloped downward from the compressor, with a slope of at least 1:200 (5mm down for each 1m run). The discharge pipes should be insulated where they are routed in the conditioned space (including under a raised floor).
The exposure time of system pipes must not exceed 15min. Longer exposure will lead to the compressor refrigeration oil being affected by moisture, which can affect the life of the key components and the system operation stability.

3.3 Operation The Liebert iCOM display provides viewing, trending, and configuration capability for Liebert cooling units. All unit settings and parameters may be viewed and adjusted through three menus: User, Service, and Advanced. All active alarms are displayed on the LCD and annunciated.
The control is shipped from the factory with default selections for all necessary settings. Adjustments may be made if the defaults do not meet the desired requirements.
References to menu items in this manual are followed by the main menu and the menu where they can be found.
For example: • Temperature Setpoint (User > Setpoints) - The Temperature Setpoint parameter is at
User > Setpoints.
• High Return Humidity (Service > Set Alarms) - The High Return Humidity alarm is at
Service > Set Alarms.
3.3.1 Single Unit Functions
• ALARM OFF - The unit has an alarm that has forced the unit to turn Off.
• MANUAL- Unit is being controlled by a service technician using Service >
Diagnostics/Service > Manual Mode.
• DISPLAY OFF - When a unit is turned Off from the On/Off Key of a display, Display OFF
is shown for unit status.
53 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
• ALARM STANDBY - The unit has been rotated into standby because an active alarm
on the unit is present.
• STANDBY - The unit is on standby based on the Lead-Lag settings in Service.
• TIMER OFF - The unit has been set to Sleep and is waiting for the next start interval.
See User > Sleep Mode.
• UNIT ON - The unit is operating normally without alarm or warning.
• WARNING ON - The unit has an active warning but is still operating. See User > Active
Alarms for details.
• ALARM ON - The unit has an active alarm but is still operating. See User > Active
Alarms for details.
• TIMER - The unit is configured on a timer to only operate at certain times. See User >
Sleep Mode.
• REMOTE OFF - Remote shutdown terminals will turn Off the connected unit and the
front display shows REMOTE OFF as the status. This command is invoked when a
normally closed set of dry contacts opens. The remote On/Off and display On/Off
switches are in series. A cooling unit will start only if both switches are On. If one of
these switches is Off, the unit will stop.
• MONITORING OFF - In this case, an override to the monitoring is possible: Pressing the
display’s On/Off button will change the state to Unit Off; pressing again may start the
unit in Unit On. If the unit does not turn On, check the remote monitoring device or call
800-543-2778 for assistance.
• BACK-DRAFT - The unit is in a non-operational mode, but is operating the EC fan as a
backdraft damper
Pressing the On/Off key on a small display will affect only the cooling unit it is mounted on, regardless of whether the cooling unit is a stand-alone unit or part of a network. The small Liebert iCOM display does not have access to the Unit-to-Unit network.
Pressing the On/Off key on a large display of a stand-alone cooling unit will control only that unit.
The effect of pressing the On/Off key on a large display connected to a network depends on the view: System or Unit.
• In System view, pressing the On/Off key shows a warning asking for confirmation to
shut down the entire system.
• In Unit view, pressing the On/Off key affects only the unit being viewed, without a
confirmation request.
Each time a unit is powered On or Off, an event is added to the Event Log.
Depending on the operating state, start/stop priority switches may prevent the cooling unit from starting even though the cooling unit is turned On. All switches must be closed before the
54 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
cooling unit can operate. For example, if the cooling unit has been turned On through the Liebert iCOM, but the BMS remote monitoring system is sending a command to turn the unit Off, the cooling unit will remain Off.
The cooling unit’s operating status is displayed in the Liebert iCOM display. The operating status field may be used to determine an Off state based on the start-stop priority switches.
Remote On/Off Display On/Off Monitoring On/Off U2U Standby
If Remote On/Off is not used, a jumper is inserted to bypass the switch.
Autorestart
When input power returns after a power failure, the unit will return to its previous operating status: On if it was On before the power failure, Off if it was Off.
When power returns, the autorestart time—time-selectable: Single Unit Auto Restart (Service > Options Setup)—will determine how quickly the unit restarts.
Loss of Power Alarm
A Loss of Power Alarm is activated when power is restored after an interruption. If acknowledged, the alarm resets automatically after 30 minutes. This alarm may be set to different event types (Message, Alarm or Warning) and may be disabled under menu item Loss of Power (Service > Set Alarms).
Fan Alarm/Fan Protection Settings
The fan operation is protected by two digital devices: motor protection (optional on VFD centrifugal and constant volume centrifugal drives) and a differential pressure switch. The motor protection monitors for main fan overload or EC fan fault and the differential pressure switch detects a loss of airflow. If either protection device is activated after an adjustable time delay, an audible alarm occurs, an alarm relay activates and an event is recorded in the event log (Main Fan Overload or EC fan fault and Loss of Airflow in Service > Set Alarms).
The fan delay at the unit start is always five seconds shorter than the control delay (to avoid short-cycling components when the fan is not working).
When the main fan overload occurs, the main fan, cooling, heating, humidification, and dehumidification are disabled to prevent equipment damage; the unit status will show Alarm Off. The unit will automatically resume operation once the overload condition has cleared.
When an EC fan fault occurs, the unit will continue to operate normally unless a loss of airflow alarm occurs.
When a loss of airflow occurs, the fan(s) will continue to operate to keep the unit on the line until the problem is corrected. Cooling, heating, dehumidification, and humidification are disabled.

3.3.2 Setpoints
Setpoints allows the user to view, change and set the most important setpoints (temperature, humidity, etc.) in a central location.
U102 Temperature Setpoint - Selects a temperature that the cooling unit will maintain by applying cooling and or reheats. There are two values in this field. The Temp Set value is the temperature that has been set by the user to control the temperature. The Temp Act value is a read only value that indicates if another routine, like supply compensation has internally modified the Temp controlling value. If compensation has not been activated, then ACT and SET will always match. This parameter is adjustable from 41-104°F (5-40°C).
U103 Temperature Control Sensor - Selects the sensor that will control the cooling capacity. Unloading type compressors can be set to any sensor type, however fixed style compressors can only be set to Return or Remote control type l. The range should be Supply, Return or Remote Sensor. The factory default is Return.
U104 Humidity Setpoint - Selects a humidity that the cooling unit will maintain by removing or adding moisture to the air. The humidity setpoint will either be set in percent RH or as a Dew Point Value depending on what the humidity control type is set for. This parameter is adjustable from 20- 80%. The factory default is 50%.
U105 Humidity Control Sensor - Defines which humidity value the humidity setpoint is compared with. The return sensor is equipped with a Temp / Hum sensor and can calculate the dew point based on Liebert iCOM's internal lookup table. If a sensor other than the return sensor is selected, then iCOM will calculate the correct RH% based on the sensor selected and its actual temperature. The range is Remote or Return Sensor. The factory default is Return Sensor.
56 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
U106 Humidity Control Type - Selects the humidity control calculation. Setting this parameter to “Relative” will control the humidity without considering any temperature deviations. “Predictive” and “Absolute” control consider the temperature deviation from temperature setpoint so that a constant level of moisture is kept in the area based on the humidity sensor reading and the temperature deviation from setpoint.
Dew Point allows Liebert iCOM to calculate the actual dew point of the room and to control the humidity based on a user-entered dew point temperature. The range is Relative, Absolute, Predictive and Dew Point. The factory default is Predictive.
U107 Fan Setpoint - Needed anytime the fan operates from a different sensor than the temperature Setpoint.
U108 Fan Control Sensor - Determines the sensor which will control the speed of the fan. This parameter works in conjunction with the Fan Control Setpoint.
U110 Optimized Aisle Enabled - This read-only value indicates if the Liebert iCOM controller is setup in a Optimized Aisle configuration.
3.3.3 User-Graphic Menu Screens
Graphic screens allow the user to view temperature and humidity graphs. Nine flexible time scales with ranges up to 16 days are available.
There are two line trend graphs in Liebert iCOM. The upper graph displays temperature data and the lower graph displays humidity data. Each graph can be customized by changing the span of time and the range of the sensor readings. Each unit has its own temperature and humidity graphs as well as a system graph which displays an average of all connected sensors in the network of units.

3.3.4 Event Log
Event Log—The event log displays all events and actions generated by the unit. When multiple units are networked the event log shows results for the whole system. Each event shows the unit that generated the alarm, time and date stamp, a description and the event type. The event log contains the last 400 events generated by the unit. Events include such occurrences as unit On/Off commands, alarms, warnings and messages. The event log has two views: system view and unit view. When the event log is first entered, the system view is displayed. The system view lists events that have occurred at the unit and other units, if configured in a U2U network. Press the Right arrow when viewing the event log for the system view allowing the user to see unit-specific events. The unit name and number will appear in the upper right corner for the unit selected. Each event shows the unit that generated the alarm, time and date stamp, a description and the event type. As new events are stored in the log, older events are pushed further down the list. Once the event log reaches 400 events, the oldest events are erased as new events are stored.
3.3.5 View Network
The view network screen provides an overview of the Liebert iCOM network and a status of each unit. This screen will provide the unique unit name given to the unit. If no name is given, then only the unit number will be displayed.

3.4 Event Types and Properties
3.4.1 Event Types
• Message: If this event occurs, it will only be entered into the event log
• Warning: If this event occurs, a warning will be generated and entered into the event log. The common alarm relay will be activated only if parameter Warning Activates Alarm Relay at Service > Alarm Setup is set to Yes. The factory default is Yes
• Alarm: When an alarm is received, a red light on the Liebert iCOM will blink and an alarm will sound, unless turned Off in User > Display Setup. Pressing the alarm button will acknowledge the alarm but not clear it. The alarm will not be cleared until the issue has been corrected, reset internally by the control or reset manually by the user. For instance, alarms such as High Pressure can be cleared by changing the alarm counter to 0. If this event occurs, an alarm will be generated and entered into the event log. An alarm does not necessarily switch Off the whole cooling unit; that depends on which alarm occurs. If a standby unit is set, any alarm will stop the faulty unit and start the standby unit. Standby activation functions only on alarms; messages or warnings will not start a standby unit. For more on standby units

4 INTELLISLOT This chapter introduces the application of the host communication component INTELLISLOT, including the installation and commissioning of the host communication component and host communication networking diagram.
4.1 Introduction of IS Unity Card IS-UNITY Card can provide two kinds communication protocol: IS-485 and IS-WEB adopting the communication and protocol of industry information department.
Figure 4-1 IS Unity Card
4.2 Installing Host Communication Card
4.2.1 Installing communication card
The chilled water AC units are equipped with installation boxes 1 and 2. To install the host
communication configuration, insert the communication card into the installation box 1 and
tighten the screws as shown in Figure 4-2.
64 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
Figure 4-2 IS Unity Card
4.2.2 Connection
The electrical schematic figure of the host communication configuration is shown in Figure 4-3. P61, P65 and P66 cables are connected in factory. Therefore, only the communication card is to be connected the monitoring center.
Figure 4-3 Electrical schematic figure of host communication configuration
4.3 Commissioning of Host Communication Component Before commissioning, you must access the ‘SERVICE Menus’ of the iCOM control
board to set S824 MON ADD as ‘3’, S835 MON PORT as ‘Vlcty (Velocity)’ and S843
BL CTRL as ‘S+R’ in the “Network Setup”.
4.3.1 Assigning the Card’s IP Address
DHCP
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card is factory-configured for DHCP. If you require a Static or
BootP network configuration, be sure to change the Boot Mode as described in Static IP.
Connect an RJ-45 cable to the card and it will receive an IP address from the DHCP server.
Contact the DHCP administrator to obtain the IP address using the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity
card’s MAC address. The MAC address is printed on the card’s faceplate.
65 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
If the DHCP administrator is not available or there is no way of determining the IP address
assigned by the DHCP server, use a computer with a direct Ethernet connection to the Liebert
IntelliSlot Unity card, and the Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address convention described in 7.3.2
Connect an Ethernet Cable - Connect an Ethernet Cable to access the card’s Web page and
configure the card. To see the card’s last DHCP-assigned IP address, click on the Unity Tab,
then on the left side menu select Support > Active Networking. The table of information will
show the last IP address assigned by the DHCP server. The card may retain that IP address
when it reconnects to the DHCP network because most DHCP systems reuse the same IP
address for the same device.
Figure 4-4 IS-UNITY-DP card connection port
Figure 4-5 Example of IS-UNITY-DP card Web Page
Static IP
To assign a static IP address, use the Ethernet connection to configure the card.
4.3.2 Connect an Ethernet Cable
1. Connect a computer operating on Microsoft Windows operating system (Microsoft
Windows® XP with SP2 [64-bit] or SP3 [32-bit] or later) to the card by plugging a network
66 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
cable into the RJ-45 port on the computer and the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card.
2. Autoconfiguration, which is normally enabled on computers running Microsoft Windows
operating systems, will automatically negotiate the communication settings. This takes
about one minute.
3. If the Ethernet adapter used to attach to the card does not show an Autoconfiguration
IPv4 Address, open a new Command Prompt and type ipconfig/renew and press Enter.
Hence, enabling the computer to acquire an Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address.
4. When the computer has an Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address, open a browser window on
the computer and type 169.254.24.7 (the card’s default Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address) in
the URL address field. The card’s Web page will appear.
4.3.3 Connect an RS-485 Serial Cable
Liebert IntelliSlot Unity cards come with an Adapter RJ-45-2POS Terminal Block. The adapter has two
screw terminals to attach the ends of a RS-485 cable for communicating to a building management
system.
Figure 4-6 Adapter RJ-45-2POS Terminal Block
1. Find the serial cable from the building management system. If it already has an RJ-45
connector on the end, determine whether it uses the same pinout as the Liebert IntelliSlot
Unity card’s connector. If the pinout is the same as the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card
connector’s pinout, skip to Step 6.
2. Strip the ends of the positive (typically red) and negative (typically black) leads on the RS-
485 cable so that enough bare wire is exposed for connection, about 1/4" (6mm).
3. Position the adapter so the side with the positive and negative marks is face up. The small
markings are on the same side as the screw heads, as shown at right.
4. Loosen the screw to the positive terminal and insert the red wire far enough to insert the
bare wires into the terminal block under the screw, then tighten the screw.
67 Vertiv I Liebert PEX+ I User Manual
5. Be careful not to break the wires.
6. Repeat Step 3 with the negative terminal and the black wire.
7. Plug the cable into the 485 RJ-45 port on the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card.

5.6 Air Filter
The efficiency of the air filter in the unit is 30%, which complies with US ASHRAE52-76 and
Eurovent 4/5 standards, and the dust resistance value is 90%(EU4 standard). To ensure the
normal operation of the filter, the filter service alarm logic is provided by the controller. The
default fan running time is 2000 hours when the time is exceeded, the filter service alarm is
triggered. The user needs to replace the filter based on the clogging condition of the filter. The
filter must be checked once a month, and be replaced as required during operation.
• Cut the power before replacing the filter.
• Clear the fan running time to ‘0’ after replacing the filter.
5.7 Infrared Humidifier During the normal operation of the infrared humidifier, sediment such as mineral particles will
accumulate on its water pan. To ensure efficient operation of the infrared humidifier, the
sediment needs to be cleaned regularly. However, the cleansing cycle varies because the
water is different in different regions. It is recommended to check, and cleanse (when
necessary) the water pan, once a month. The auto flush function of the infrared humidifier can
prolong the cleaning cycle. However, regular checks and maintenance are necessary.
Cleaning steps:
1. Remove the water level standpipe to drain the water pan;
2. Disconnect the drainage pipe;
3. Remove the safety switch of the water pan;
4. Remove the fixing screws at the two ends of the pan, and pull out the water pan. Cleanse
the water pan with water and hard brush;
5. Restore the water pan by reversing the preceding procedures Before exercising the corresponding operation, make sure that the power has
been cut off; also, ensure that the water in the water pan is close to the room
temperature before draining the water from the infrared humidifier water pan to
avoid the personal injury.

5.8 Electric Heater
The Electrical heater contains three temperature switches that serially connect to the control loop. While two of the switches are automatically reset ones, the remaining one is a manual reset switch.
Figure 5-2 shows a schematic representation of the three switches inside an electric heater:
Figure 5-2 PTC electric reheat
The following steps need to be followed during inspection and maintenance of the Electric heater:
• Check the rust on the electric heater. Use an iron brush to get rid of the rust, if possible, or replace it if the rustiness is immense or if there is some damage.
• When heating is required, but heating is not effective or no heating effect is observed, a multimeter should be used to check whether the cable connected to the temperature switch is functioning correctly to ensure that the three temperature switches are normal.
• If the cable is not functioning properly, remove the electric heater and check if the manual reset switch is disconnected. Next, check the automatic reset switches or the electric heater pipe for damage or faulty condition.
