the equipment will not operate properly.

Insert the rack temperature sensor connector in the temperature sensor port (CAN port like in fig­
ure below) at the iCom interface. After cabling like shown in pictures to exit from the top or from
the bottom of the unit, connect to first probe, then from first to second one, from second to third one
and so on, like a chain. Secure the temperature sensor in front of the warmest heat source in the
enclosure. Do not secure in front of a blanking panel. For this operation use the support provided
for each probe (refer to picture n°1). The sensors must be installed where lack of sufficient cooling
air is most likely. The optimum position of the rack temperature sensors will vary from installation
to installation. A standard position is at 1.5 m / 59 in height. Due to air flow behaviour (see Chap.
2.0), sometimes it would be better to reconsider the layout, or particular attention must be taken
positioning the sensors on:
S Servers positioned at the top of a rack.
S Servers positioned at any height in the last rack at an open end of a row.
S Servers positioned behind flow-impairing obstacles such as building elements.
S Servers positioned in a bank of high-density racks.
S Servers positioned next to racks with air removal units.
S Servers positioned very far from the CRV.
S Servers positioned very close to the CRV.

To connect the temperature probes to use only cable with these characteristics:
S 6 wires, 3 couples, shielded twisted pair.
S Termination: RJ12.
S Coupling: according to 273702 (iCOM User Manual Hw page 19).

Option A:
S 3 x 2 x 0.14 mmq (min), twisted pairs, shielded.
S Plenum rated
S 300V
S (­5/+70°C / 23/158°F)
S Flexible
S Characteristic impedance of between 108 and 132 Ohm @50kHz
S Conductor resistance < 150 Ohm/km
S Flame retardant
S Black jacketing

Option B:
S 24AWG
S STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
S CMP (Plenum rated)
S <15pF Capacitance per Foot
S 300V Fig. m -
S 60°C / 140°F
S Black jacketing
S Flexibility: Must maintain a certain,
unspecified flexibility
S UL and CSA Approved

7.0 START-UP

7.1 First start-up (or after long standstill)

TO PREVENT COMPRESSOR DAMAGE THE CRANKCASE(S) MUST BE PREHEATED FOR
AT LEAST 4 HOURS BEFORE CONDITIONER START-UP (FAILURE TO DO SO
INVALIDATES THE GUARANTEE).
Start the air conditioner as follows:
1. Open all valves in the refrigeration circuit according to the instruction label attached to the
valve.
2. W only: Open all valves in the water circuit according to the instruction label attached to the
valve.
3. Ensure that the refrigerant charge is correct (see Chap. 4).
4. Using a leak detector, verify that there are no refrigerant leaks. If there are any, then repair
the leak and recharge as described in Chap. 4.
5. At least 4 hours before start-up, close the main switch and the compressor switch on the elec­
trical panel.
In the “iCom" control system factory setting the stand alone mode is standard. The stand alone
mode gives the possibility of turning on the unit simply rotating the main switch on the electric
panel. The yellow LED on the iCom case will light after turning on the unit, because of the
presence of electric power.
If the LED does not light up:
S check the electric panel power supply;
S check the protection devices (e.g.: thermal switches);
S check the fuses.
6. Verify the operation of the crankcase heater.
7. Check that there are no water leakages.
8. If an external condenser or Dry cooler is installed, start it by supplying power to it.
9. Close all MCBs on the electrical panel.
10.Check the supply voltage on all phases.
11.Check the supply voltage on all phases for the external condenser or Dry cooler, if fitted.
12.ENSURE THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN PREHEATED FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS
BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT.
13.Start the unit by pressing ON OFF.
14.Check the electrical absorption of all components (see Chap. 6).
15.Check the electrical absorption of the external condenser/Dry cooler, if fitted.
16.IMPORTANT - If the compressor makes a loud and unusual noise IT IS NECESSARY
TO INVERT the electrical connections of the phases supplying the corresponding
scroll compressor, which accepts only one direction of rotation.
17.Ensure that the fans rotate in the correct direction (see arrow on fan).
CAUTION: risk of contact with rotating devices.
18.Ensure that all control system settings are correct and that there are no alarms (see Control
manual).
19.W only: Verify the water flow.
20.W only: For closed circuit units ensure that the water pump starts when the compressor
starts.
21.Once the system is operating under load, check the various components, as follows:
S Verify that the fans are operating properly.
S Ensure that the temperature and relative humidity are being controlled, and that the hu­
midifier (optional) and heating steps (optional) operate when required.
S Ensure that the compressor operates when required.
S Ensure that the fan operation controller on the external condenser/Dry cooler (if fitted)
is calibrated correctly, and that it controls the fan operation.

7.2 Automatic restart

If desired, the unit will automatically restart on the return of power after a supply interruption
(see Control manual).
If the power interruption is expected to be of several hours, to avoid an automatic cold restart of
the compressor stop the unit before the black-out and, on the return of power, allow the compressor
to preheat before restarting the unit.
