7.0 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLS
This section provides a detailed description of how the Liebert Mini-Mate2 responds to operator
inputs and room conditions.
7.1 Temperature Control
7.1.1 Cooling/Heating Required
The temperature control program for the microprocessor is based on a calculated percentage
requirement for cooling/heating.
7.1.2 Cooling Operation (Cooling, Compressorized Direct Expansion and Chilled Water)
Cooling is ACTIVATED when the temperature control calculates a requirement for cooling of 100%. It
is DEACTIVATED when the cooling requirement drops below 50%. The optional hot gas bypass is
energized when a call for cooling occurs unless there is also a call for dehumidification.
7.1.3 Heating Operation
Electric Heat or Hot Water
The reheat stage is ACTIVATED when the temperature control calculates a requirement of 100%.
The reheat is DEACTIVATED when the heat requirement is 50% less than the activation point.
Ground Current Detector (GCD)
A Ground Current Detector is factory-installed on all 1-ton through 3-ton Liebert Mini-Mate2 units
with reheat. The GCD detects reheat leakage current and shuts down operation of the reheat. A
steady green LED indicates that the reheat is operating properly. A red LED indicates that the reheat
has failed and both the reheat element and GCD need to be replaced.
