InRow RP Technical Data Manual44
Guidelines for Installation
The InRow RP provides reliable, accurate temperature control of computer rooms, laboratories, and other
environments that require close tolerance control. The unit incorporates the latest system design innovations to
provide you with optimum efficiency, reliability, and accuracy of control.
The InRow RP unit will provide years of trouble-free service when installed and maintained by
technically qualified personnel. For more detailed information, see the InRow RP Installation manual
(990-2696 air-cooled and 990-2710 chilled water).
Room preparation
During the design of the room, consideration should be given to the following factors: ease of entry for
the system, floor-loading factors, and accessibility of piping and wiring.
The room must be sealed with a vapor barrier to minimize moisture infiltration. Polyethylene film
(plastic sheeting) is a good vapor barrier for ceiling and wall applications. Rubber- or plastic-based
paints should be applied to concrete floors and walls. The room should be thoroughly insulated to
minimize thermal loads and make-up air (if required) should be preconditioned to reduce additional
temperature, filtration, and moisture loads.
Service access
At least 914 mm (36 in) of clear space must be left in the front and rear of the unit for routine service. In
order to service the unit outside of the row, an area of 1219 mm (48 in) of clear space is required in the
front and rear of the unit while it is in the row.
Receiving the unit
Your InRow RP unit has been tested and inspected prior to shipment. To ensure that you have received
the unit in excellent condition, perform a careful inspection of the crating and the unit immediately upon
receipt. Verify that all parts ordered were received as specified and that the unit is the correct size and
voltage necessary to fulfill your environmental control needs. Report any damage discovered to the
freight carrier. If necessary, contact the APC field service department for help in repairing or replacing
damaged parts. While APC is not responsible for damage incurred in transit, we want to make sure that
you have no undue delays in your system start-up. Please refer to the unpacking sheet for more
information.
Rigging
The unit is manufactured with a formed steel frame for maximum strength and unit integrity. However,
as with all electrical and mechanical equipment, you must take care with proper rigging of your unit.
When using a forklift to move the unit, use the shipping skid to protect the bottom of the unit. When
using chains, cables, or rope to lift the unit, use spreader bars to prevent damage to the finished panels.
Four threaded M10X16 holes are provided in the top of the frame to accommodate lifting eye bolts that
can be utilized to lift the unit.
Condensate Drain
Condensation from the evaporator pan is collected and discharged by the condensate pump to a 3/8 in
(10 mm) I.D. condensate line supplied with the unit. Additional condensate piping is required to route to
building condensate system.
