Introduction 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Liebert Liqui-tect Monitoring System is the ultimate in leak detection and retrofitting capabili- ties for computer rooms and other large areas. The Liqui-tect Monitoring System provides direct-read at the control unit location, as well as the ability to communicate with the Liebert SiteScan Web enterprise monitoring system or a building management system. The Liqui-tect Monitoring System features an easy-to-use liquid crystal display (LCD) panel with readout

Introduction 1.2 Outside Enclosure Overview The enclosure for the Liqui-tect panels controller board comes in two sizes: The large enclosure is designed to accommodate the Transformer Module and future compo- nents, in addition to the controller board. The small enclosure is built to hold the controller board only. Both enclosures are 2-3/4" deep. Both enclosures have a built-in liquid crystal display (LCD) and a key lock, as shown in the example below. The metal enclosures accommodate secur

Introduction 1.3 Typical Sequence Figure 3 shows a typical sequence of how the Liqui-tect Monitoring System functions after detecting a leak, contamination or cable break in either Zone 1 or Zone 2. Responses depend on configuration settings. This example shows what happens when a leak is detected. Figure 3 Example of typical sequence: Analog input reaches high setpoint RESPONSES TO AN ALARM RETURN-TO-NORMAL SEQUENCE ALARM CONDITION DETECTED RETURN TO NORMAL A leak is sensed along the cable Th

Installation 2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 Installation Considerations The Liqui-tect panel must be installed indoors and may be mounted on the surface of a wall or flush- mounted, depending on the users application and the type of wall the unit will be mounted on. The units location must meet the following criteria: The panel must be placed close enough to the areas to be monitored to permit proper connection of the leak detection cable. The panel will monitor two zones; each zone can accommodate

Installation 2.2 Surface-Mounting the Liqui-tect Panel NOTE Removing the conduit knockouts before mounting the Liqui-tect panel on the wall will ease installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted. After determining where to place the unit, check to ensure that you have all the hardware required to install the panel on the surface of a wall. Obtain the needed tools and material. Required tools El

Installation 2.3 Flush-Mounting the Liqui-tect Panel NOTE Removing the conduit knockouts before mounting the Liqui-tect panel on the wall will ease installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted. The rectangular access doors on the top and bottom of the Liqui-tect panel must be removed from the outside of the panel and reinstalled on the inside of the panel. Leaving the doors as shipped from the f

Installation 2.4 Connect Power to the Liqui-tect Panel The Liqui-tect panel requires 24VAC for proper operation. Liebert recommends using the optional Transformer Module manufactured by Liebert or another UL-approved Class 2 power unit to obtain proper voltage. If the power unit is not a Class 2 circuit, it must be protected with an IEC 5 x 20mm time lag 2A fuse. For information, consult your local dealer, Liebert representative or the Liebert Worldwide Support Group. WARNING ! Check that po

Installation 2.4.2 Input and Output Power Connections - Large Enclosure CAUTION ! The 115VAC/230VAC Transformer Module must be connected to a branch circuit with 15A branch circuit protection. This equipment is intended to be installed by a qualified and certified electrician who must review and approve customer supplied wiring and circuit breakers, verify correct input and grounded connections to ensure compliance with the technical standards and national and local electrical codes. The Tra

Connections and Configuration 3.0 CONNECTIONS AND CONFIGURATION CAUTION ! Be sure that the power wiring is disconnected from the Liqui-tect panel before installing any wiring to this unit or changing input or output connections. Input and output connections to the Liqui-tect panel may be made in any orderit is not necessary, for example, to make all input connections before making any output connections. Use copper conduc- tors only for all wiring. Table 4 Wiring specifications Connection Sup

Connections and Configuration 3.1 Connecting Leak Detection Cable Inputs The leak detection cable inputs are found on the lower right side of the Liqui-tect panels printed wir- ing assembly board. There are two terminal blocks for the inputs; the lower terminal block is for the Zone 1 cable and the terminal block above it is for a second leak detection cable, Zone 2. To determine the proper wire size, see Table 4 - Wiring specifications. NOTE Each terminal block is a removable, two-part assemb

A/C Computer Connections and Configuration 3.1.2 Connecting Leak Detection Cable to the Connection Cable The connection cable has a black fitting on one end that will fasten securely to the fitting on one end of the leak detection cablesee Figure 8. Push these ends together, being careful to insert the pro- truding ends of the leak detection cable into the holes in the connection cable connector. Twist the connector ring to securely link the cables. NOTE Make sure the male end of the LT500Y

Connections and Configuration 3. Once the cable passes the test, lay it in the pattern desired. Pay special attention to the following cable placement precautions. DETECTION CABLE PLACEMENT PRECAUTIONS Do not use detection cable that is damaged or dirtyfor example, from plaster, spackle or debris. Detection cable should not be dragged through contaminants (dirty or greasy areas). Floor must be clean for the detection cable to function properly and for the hold-down clips to adhere to the
