11.7 Service—Wellness Menu Screens
The next maintenance calculation, will help keep the cooling unit running at peak performance to
ensure minimum component stress and maximum reliability.
If the unit includes any of the following components, they are included in the calculation:
• Fan(s)
• Compressor 1
• Electric Heaters
• Humidifier
For each component, the next maintenance will be calculated from the following parameters:
• Standard service interval (1, 2 or 4 times a year) (to be set)
• Working hours (counted)
• Number of starts (counted)
• Average running time (calculated)
• Optimum number of starts per hour (to be set)
• Maximum number of starts per hour (to be set)
• Maximum bonus to enlarge time to next maintenance (to be set)
• Maximum penalty to reduce time to next maintenance (to be set)
11.7.1 Calculating Unit Wellness
The Liebert iCOM keeps tabs on the condition of a cooling unit, determining its condition and
projecting when service will be needed for the entire unit as well as for individual components. This
assists in scheduling maintenance calls and helps pinpoint components likely to require service.
Liebert iCOM displays a graphic for needed maintenance. It begins with the standard maintenance
interval—12 months, six months or three months—and adjusts that based on its calculation of
components’ condition.
To calculate a unit’s condition, the Liebert iCOM keeps a running total of component working hours
and the number of times it has been started. Liebert iCOM relates that data to the
optimum/maximum starts per hour. Accordingly, Liebert iCOM will increase or decrease the time
before the next service call will be needed.
The more frequently a component starts, the sooner it is likely to need maintenance. If, for example, a
unit’s fan runs continuously but it’s compressor starts and stops often, Liebert iCOM records that and
calls for maintenance based on the compressor’s wellness factor.
Alarms and warnings, such as clogged filters or high or low pressure, reduce the time until the next
maintenance to zero. If the alarm is cleared and reset, Liebert iCOM recalculates the unit’s condition.
It begins with the pre-alarm maintenance time and factors in the alarm.
Parameters for Next Maintenance Calculation
General Maintenance Settings
• Maintenance Frequency—Can be set as one to 12 months or to zero, which disables maintenance
calculation
• Maximum Bonus—Increases the time to next maintenance with the set value, if all components
run optimally (number of starts, average running time)
• Maximum Penalty value—Decreases the time to next maintenance with the set value, if some
components run in non-optimum way (number of starts, average running time)
• Last Maintenance—Date can be set from service-engineer; informational
• Service-Engineer—Name of the service engineer; editable
• Reset—Puts all counters of all components, such as (motor, compressors, heaters and humidifier),
at zero and starts a new maintenance calculation (reset to be done after maintenance)
