  • Page 25 iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual Humidity Control Humidification and/or Dehumidification in Percent (%) The humidity control program for the iCOM microprocessor is based on a calculated percent (%RH) requirement for humidification and/or dehumidification. This percent (%RH) requirement is determined by the control type (algorithm) selected by the user.
  • Page 26 iCOM Control Training and Service Manual Absolute (Predictive) Humidity Control Flowchart When utilizing the absolute (predictive) humidity control program feature, the humidity level is automatically adjusted ~ 2% RH for each degree difference between the return air temperature and the temperature set point. It is important to remember that the unit displays relative humidity %RH not the actual moisture content value.
  • Page 27 iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual Relative Humidity Control Relative humidity control is based on the humidity content in the return air. The iCOM microprocessor control determines the unit humidification/dehumidification operation by comparing the return air humidity value to the control band that is determined by the: •...
  • Page 28 iCOM Control Training and Service Manual Humidifier Operation The Relative Humidity control program is used to illustrate the humidification operation in the following examples. The basic humidification control band is established at the humidity setpoint with the length equal to ½ of the programmed humidity proportional band value.

  • Page 30 iCOM Control Training and Service Manual If the off time is less than 15 hours (or user programmed value) the pre-fill program is bypassed and the infrared lamps and water valve are activated at the same time to fill the pan to the proper water level and initiate humidification. During normal infrared humidification operation the water makeup valve is periodically opened (pan refill) and closed (no pan refill) based on a timing sequence.
  • Page 31 iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual Dehumidification Operation Dehumidification with Absolute (Predictive) Humidity Control When absolute humidity control is used, over dehumidification is avoided in the space. When overcooling occurs, causing an increase in the relative humidity reading, the humidity control program “predicts” what the RH will be when the dehumidification cycle ends and the temperature returns to the programmed set point.
  • Page 32 iCOM Control Training and Service Manual In the above example, that the control band begins at the 50% humidity setpoint and has a length of 4%, which is ½ of the programmed humidity proportional band value. As the return air humidity increases, dehumidification operation is activated at 54%RH or 100% of the dehumidification control band.
  • Page 33 iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual return air humidity level decreases to the humidity setpoint or 0% of the humidity proportional band.

  • Page 149 iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRIAC To better understand the operation of the triac, we need to look at the movement of electrons in a special type of material used in electronics. Here we have a semiconductor material with what is called a depletion region.
  • Page 150 iCOM Control Training and Service Manual The triacs that Liebert uses are standard in the industry and are rated at a 2-amp capacity. You can check these devices for proper operation while they are connected in the circuit. If the load is removed from the device, you can get a false reading from the meter.
  • Page 151 iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual Basic Operation of the Opto-Isolator The purpose of the opto-isolator is to provide isolation of two voltage sources. This allows a DC voltage source to activate an AC voltage load device or allows an AC voltage source to provide a DC signal. We are working with two types of circuits, an input and an output.
