Chapter 2: Installation

CAUTION

Before operating the unit, you must connect an adequate unit-to-ground to the unit.

2.9.1.1 Single-Phase Units 208/230 V

The supply voltage for units that are designed for 208-V operation must have a tolerance within -5% and +10%. If the measured supply voltage is 230 V, the unit can operate with a tolerance of ±5% if the following change is made. The control transformers within the system must have the primary wire connected to its respective 240V tap instead of the 208V tap.

2.9.1.2 Three-Phase Units

Three-phase units are designed to have the L1, L2, and L3 supply wires connected to corresponding L1, L2, and L3 line terminals of the non-fused service switch. The unit will operate correctly if the supply wires are connected in this manner.

CAUTION

Improper wire connections will result in the reverse rotation of the fans/blower motors and compressor and may eventually result in damage to the compressor. To correct this problem, exchange any two of the incoming main power wires at the main power service disconnect switch. Do NOT rewire the unit’s individual components.

2.9.2 Optional Equipment

Additional control wires may be required depending on the options that were purchased with your unit. Optional sensors are to be connected directly to the control terminal board in the Cold Row electric box. You may route the wires through the top or bottom of the cabinet as preferred using the available knock-outs. Refer to the electrical drawing supplied with your unit to determine the total number of interconnecting conductors required for your system.

NOTE: All wiring must be provided in accordance with local and National Electrical Code requirements for Class 2 circuits.

NOTE: The control transformer(s) supplied with the equipment have been sized and selected based upon the expected loads for each system.

CAUTION

Do not connect any additional loads to the system control transformers. Connecting additional loads to the factory-supplied control transformer(s) may result in overloading of the transformer(s).

2.9.2.1 Remote Water Detector

Refer to Section 2.6.1. Each remote water detector used will require two conductors to be wired to the control terminal block within the unit electrical box. The wire insulation must be rated at 600 V.

2.9.2.2 Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensor

Refer to Section 2.6.2. The remote temperature/humidity sensor is equipped with a shielded cable. The shield is to be terminated at the unit electric box. The electric box includes a control terminal block with box-type lugs for wire connections.

2.9.2.3 Remote On/Off

The unit can remotely turn off the air-conditioning system. A normally closed switch is required for this purpose (customer furnished). Connect two conductors from the normally closed switch to the control terminal block located within the unit electric box. Refer to the supplied electrical schematic for the specific power rating of the switch and for wiring details.

See Section 4.4.5 for additional information on the remote on/off feature.

2.9.3 Outdoor Equipment

The following sections detail field power wiring required for a typical system. Additional conductors may be required depending on the options purchased with the equipment. Refer to the electrical drawing supplied with your unit for the appropriate field wiring terminations required specifically for your system.

2.9.3.1 Water-Cooled Systems (CRDX-W-FS-12KW, CRDX-W-FS-24KW Models)

Systems equipped with an internal water-cooled condenser do not require field wiring to external components other than to optional sensors as selected (e.g. Flow Sensors, Remote Supply Air T/H sensor, Air Pressure, Customer Alarm Inputs).

CRDX-W-FS-12KW, Black Box Cold Row DX, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-12KW specifications

The Black Box CRDX series consists of high-performance cooling solutions designed to maintain optimal temperature conditions in data centers and server rooms. Key models in this series include the CRDX-W-FS-12KW, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-G-FS-12KW, and CRDX-A-FS-24KW. These units are engineered to provide efficient cooling while addressing the rising demands of modern IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the CRDX series is its cold row design. This configuration enables targeted cooling delivery directly to the equipment, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The airflow management in these models ensures that cooled air is directed where it is needed most, minimizing hotspots and maximizing cooling performance.

Both the CRDX-W-FS-12KW and CRDX-W-FS-24KW models utilize advanced refrigerant-based cooling technology. These units are equipped with electronically commutated (EC) fans, which are highly efficient and quieter than traditional fan technologies. This innovation not only lowers operational costs but also creates a more comfortable environment within the data center.

The CRDX-G-FS-12KW model stands out for its hybrid capabilities, offering both chilled water and direct expansion cooling options. This versatility allows facility managers to choose the best cooling approach based on their specific requirements and current infrastructure. The hybrid system can optimize energy consumption and enhance cooling efficiency, contributing to lower operating costs.

Another noteworthy feature across these models is their intelligent controls and monitoring capabilities. Equipped with sophisticated sensors and control systems, operators can gain real-time insights into temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, and unit performance. This data aids in proactive maintenance and ensures that cooling systems are operating at peak efficiency.

The CRDX-A-FS-24KW, on the other hand, is designed with a focus on adaptability and scalability. This model can be integrated easily into existing network setups, making it an excellent choice for facilities that anticipate future growth or need to adapt to changing cooling demands.

Overall, the Black Box CRDX series exemplifies the latest advancements in cooling technology, offering innovative features designed to support high-density computing environments. With their efficient cooling capabilities, intelligent controls, and flexible design options, these models provide reliable solutions for data centers looking to enhance their cooling systems while reducing operating costs.
