8.1 General Maintenance
WARNING! Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power
disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear personal protective
equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E before working within the electric control enclosure. Failure to
comply can cause serious injury or death. The Liebert® controller does not isolate power from
the unit, even in the “Unit Off” mode. Some internal components require and receive power
even during the “Unit Off” mode of the controller. The only way to ensure that there is NO
voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote disconnect switch. Refer to unit electrical
schematic. Follow all local codes.
NOTICE
Risk of compressor slugging. Can cause equipment damage.
Apply power to the condensing unit 8 hours before operating the system. This time is required
to drive liquid refrigerant out of the compressor. This is especially important at low ambient
temperatures. The compressor's crank-case heater is energized as long as power is supplied to
the unit.
Access the condensing unit by removing the unit housing panel.
• Clean the air cooled condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. This can be done with
compressed air, with water from a garden hose, or with a commercial coil cleaner.
• Check for bent or damaged coil fins and repair as necessary.
• During winter, do not permit snow to accumulate on or around the condensing unit.
• Check all refrigerant lines and capillaries for vibration isolation and support as necessary.
• Check all refrigerant lines for signs of leaks.
8.2 Compressor Maintenance
8.2.1 Compressor Oil

• Do not mix oils of different viscosities.
• Consult Vertiv technical support or the compressor manufacturer if questions arise.
