Low suction and head pressure in a Liebert Mini-Mate2 MMD24E with a glycol system and free cooling could be caused by:
1. Low Glycol Solution Level – Insufficient glycol in the system can reduce heat transfer efficiency. 2. Improper Glycol Concentration – Incorrect glycol mixture can affect system performance. 3. Low Water/Glycol Temperature – If the temperature is too low, the free-cooling coil may take over, reducing suction and head pressure. 4. Restricted Flow in the System – Blockages or closed valves in the glycol piping can limit circulation. 5. Malfunctioning Three-Way Valve – If the free-cooling valve does not function correctly, it may divert flow improperly. 6. Dirty or Clogged Coil – A buildup of debris on the free-cooling coil can restrict heat exchange. 7. Air in the System – Entrapped air can reduce efficiency and cause pressure issues. 8. Pump Issues – A faulty or improperly sized pump may not circulate glycol effectively.
Checking glycol levels, valve operation, and system cleanliness can help diagnose the issue.
The Liebert microprocessor control does not isolate power from the unit, even in the Unit Off mode. Some internal components require and receive power even during the Unit Off mode.

System Performance Microprocessor Controls YSTEM ERFORMANCE ICROPROCESSOR ONTROLS This section provides a detailed description of how the Liebert Mini-Mate2 responds to operator inputs and room conditions. 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.
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.
7.3.1 Communication The control system uses a two-wire, RS-422 channel to communicate with Liebert Site Products via a proprietary protocol. A converter board (ECA2) is available to allow communications with a “dumb” terminal or a computer using RS-232 channel. More details are provided in the Site Products and ECA2 user manual.

Low suction and head pressure in a Liebert Mini-Mate2 MMD24E with a glycol system and free cooling could be caused by:
1. Low Glycol Solution Level – Insufficient glycol in the system can reduce heat transfer efficiency.
2. Improper Glycol Concentration – Incorrect glycol mixture can affect system performance.
3. Low Water/Glycol Temperature – If the temperature is too low, the free-cooling coil may take over, reducing suction and head pressure.
4. Restricted Flow in the System – Blockages or closed valves in the glycol piping can limit circulation.
5. Malfunctioning Three-Way Valve – If the free-cooling valve does not function correctly, it may divert flow improperly.
6. Dirty or Clogged Coil – A buildup of debris on the free-cooling coil can restrict heat exchange.
7. Air in the System – Entrapped air can reduce efficiency and cause pressure issues.
8. Pump Issues – A faulty or improperly sized pump may not circulate glycol effectively.
Checking glycol levels, valve operation, and system cleanliness can help diagnose the issue.
