Installing a Drainpipe

Installing a Humidifier Water Inlet Pipe
Clean the engineering pipe, connect the reserved humidifier water inlet pipe to the engineering pipe, and wrap the pipe with thermal insulation foam.

Installing Chilled Water Inlet and Outlet Pipes

Connect pipes.

1. G 1–1/2 inch inner thread connector (reserved)
2. Straight male connector
3. Gasket
4. Nut
5. Aluminum-plastic pipe with an inner diameter of 41 mm

1. G 1–1/2 inch inner thread connector (reserved)
2. G 1–1/2 inch seamless steel pipe with external threads

Wrap the pipes with thermal insulation foam.

(Optional) Leakage Test with Nitrogen

NOTICE

• If the pressure has fallen, apply soapy water on the pipes, especially at pipe joints, to check for leakages. Rectify the leakages if any.
• If the pressure is stable, wrap all pipes and connectors with thermal insulation foam.
• Install a reducing valve on the outlet of the nitrogen cylinder. Its outlet pressure must not exceed 0.8 MPa.
• In addition to the leakage test with nitrogen, there is the leakage test with water. You can choose one test based on site requirements.

1. Rotate the chilled water valve to the maximum (100%).
2. Check that the needle and exhaust valves on the pipeline are closed.
3. Connect a reducing valve and a nitrogen cylinder at the needle valve position shown in the figure, charge 0.8 MPa of nitrogen (when the pressure is stable), and leave them for 24 hours.
4. Check for pressure change after 24 hours.

Injecting Water to Expel Nitrogen

NOTICE
Clean the main pipe beforehand to avoid blockage of the heat exchanger due to foreign construction matter. Close the isolation valve on the water inlet and outlet pipes before the cleaning.

1. Open the general water supply valve.
2. Press the button on the side of the actuator and manually rotate the valve handle to the maximum in the specified direction. Check that the chilled water valve is in the open state (100%).
3. Slowly open the exhaust valve to let out gas.
4. Adjust the gas releasing speed until no gas flows out of the valve. Then close the exhaust valve.
5. Manually close the chilled water valve.

(Optional) Leakage Test with Water
Manually open the chilled water valve. Inject water to 0.8 MPa, and preserve the pressure for 24 hours. Then connect a pressure gauge to a needle valve on the pipeline to measure the pressure. If the reading remains unchanged, the pipe is not leaking. You can perform the following operations.

Installing Cables

Connecting the Equipotential Ground Cable and Power Cable

NOTICE

1. When routing the cables, wrap the section of all signal cables inside the smart cooling product with the corrugated pipes and route them out of the corresponding cable holes so that the electric and ELV cables are separated.
2. Route the power cable along the rear door post, and use cable ties to secure the cable to the post every 150–200 mm.

(Optional) Installing a Micro 5.2 Differential Pressure Sensor

Cold aisle
Connect a pressure inlet tube to the + mark and route it to the aisle through the hole on the top of the cabinet. Ensure that the pressure inlet faces downwards. Connect another pressure inlet tube to the – mark and route it to the cabinet top through the hole atop.

Hot aisle
Connect a pressure inlet tube to the + mark and route it to the cabinet top through the hole atop. Connect another pressure inlet tube to the – mark and route it to the aisle through the hole on the top of the cabinet. Ensure that the pressure inlet faces downwards. Connect the cable terminal of the micro differential pressure sensor to the DPT terminal.

(Optional) Connecting a Water 5.3 Sensor
A water sensor monitors resistance changes at terminals to determine whether the floor is watery. When the terminals of a water sensor detect water or other conductive liquid, the resistance between the two terminals decreases. Keep water sensors far away from water traps or floor drains.

(Optional) Installing T/H Sensors Outside Cabinets
Connect T/H sensor cables.
T/H sensors in the aisle should be installed at the door frame inside the IT cabinet and 1.5 m above the ground (33 U). After they are secured, set the sensor positions based on their locations and the table.

Set the DIP switches on the T/H sensors.

Connecting an FE Teamwork Network Cable

NOTE

• All smart cooling products in a teamwork group must be of the same model.
• Do not directly connect the first and the last smart cooling products to form a ring network.
• A maximum of 32 smart cooling products can be networked in one group. The teamwork cable between two adjacent smart cooling products must not exceed 10 m.
• If CAN networking is required onsite, choose Teamwork Settings and set Enable teamwork CAN resistor for the first and last smart cooling products to Yes on the screen.

Connect one end of the FE network cable to the FE_IN port on the main control module, and connect the other end to the POE port on the smart ETH gateway.

CAN Teamwork Networking Cable

1. Prepare an 8-pin standard network cable. The cable pin sequence requirements are shown below.
2. Connect the CAN_OUT port of each smart cooling product to the CAN_IN port of the following smart cooling product using a CAN network cable. After powering on the device, set Enable teamwork CAN resistor to Yes for the first and last devices in a teamwork group.

(Optional) Connecting the Monitoring Network Cable
The smart cooling product supports both RS485 monitoring and FE monitoring.

Connecting the FE monitoring Cable (SNMP/Modbus-TCP Protocol)
Modbus-TCP (connecting to the smart ETH gateway): The same network cable is used for FE monitoring and FE teamwork control. SNMP: Connect the FE monitoring network cable to the FE port.

RS485 Monitoring Network Cable (Modbus-RTU Protocol)

1. Make the COM network cable by referring to the following figure.
2. Group smart cooling products for monitoring based on performance requirements and connect the monitoring network cables.

• If there is no teamwork control, connect the COM_IN port on each smart cooling product to the customer’s monitoring system.
• In CAN networking, connect the COM_IN port on the first smart cooling product in each monitoring group to the monitoring device.
