CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The compressor, refrigerant
discharge lines, fan motor, and some electrical components are extremely hot during unit
operation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool to a touch-safe temperature before working
within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE when
working on or near hot components.
NOTICE
Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.
Liebert®Mini-Mate systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs water at a
much faster rate when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is the enemy of
a reliable refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systems during
installation or service. If water is absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removed and will
not be removed through the normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it may require an oil
change. POE oils also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in a refrigeration
system. Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil will tend to
bring any foreign matter back to the compressor.
NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.
Refrigerant charge must be weighed into air-cooled compressorized systems before they are
started. Starting digital scroll compressors without proper refrigerant charging can cause the
compressors to operate at less than 5°F (–15°C) evaporator temperature and at less than
55psig (379kPa). Operation for extended periods at less than 55psig (379kPa) can cause
premature compressor failure.
NOTICE
Risk of clogged or leaking drain lines and leaking water-supply lines. Can cause equipment and
building damage.
This unit requires a water drain connection. Drain lines must be inspected at start-up and
periodically, and maintenance must be performed to ensure that drain water runs freely
through the drain system and that lines are clear and free of obstructions and in good
condition with no visible sign of damage or leaks. This unit may also require an external water
supply to operate.
Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Water leakage can result in catastrophic and expensive building and equipment damage
and loss of critical data center equipment.
Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.
We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system to immediately discover and
report coolant-fluid system and condensate drain-line leaks.
NOTICE
Risk of leaking water. Can cause equipment and building damage.
Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from the
unit. Do not mount this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leaking
water. Install a water-tight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit. We
recommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines. Check
drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup, obstructions, kinks and/or damage and
verify that they are free running.
