Setup Description

The following Setup Guide is meant to assist the installation

technician in making all necessary electrical power, control

and communications connections to a Quantum™ LX Con-

denser/Vessel system. They will be provided also with the ba-

sic information necessary to login and congure the system.

It will then aid in troubleshooting the system should problems

arise. This Guide will help to ensure:

Wiring

• Location of incoming AC source power to all panels (In-

terface and Remote)

• Basic installation guidelines are followed.

• Location, polarity & grounding of communications wiring.

• Location of all control (I/O) wiring.

• Proper powering up of all panels.

Conguration

• Verifying communications.

• Calibrating sensors.

• Setting up operating Setpoints.

Operation

• Verifying the data being returned to the Interface panel

from all remote panels.

• Checking and clearing of alarms.

• Ammonia Conguration

Identifying A Condenser/Vessel System

A system will include one Operator Interface Panel and one

Condenser I/O Panel and/or possibly a Vessel I/O Panel.

The Operator Interface Panel

Each system will have an Operator Interface Panel, as shown

below:

The Operator Interface Panel (we will call it the Interface

Panel throughout the rest of this guide) is the central point

of the system, whereby any I/O panels are attached. It can

easily be identied by the presence of a display screen and a

keypad. The Interface Panel monitors and controls all of the

I/O panels that are attached to it, through RS-485 serial com-

munications (to be explained later).

The Interface Panel runs the actual program that provides the

control for the system. Through communications, it moni-

tors the status of each attached I/O panel, and provides the

necessary control instructions for each panel to perform. Ad-

ditionally, all setpoints are stored in the Interface Panel.

Status of the system may be monitored form here, and ap-

propriate changes made to system operation.

The Condenser I/O Panel

Each system may have one Condenser panel:

The panel does not have a display or keypad.

The Vessel I/O Panel

Each system may have one Vessel panel:

The panel does not have a display or keypad. A Vessel panel

can control up to three separate vessels.

Condenser/Vessel System Congurations

As stated before, each complete Condenser/Vessel system

will consist of one Interface Panel, and may have a Condenser

panel and/or a Vessel panel (a Vessel Panel can control up to

three vessels).

See the example below of a system:

Multiple Condenser/Vessel systems may be interconnected

via a common Ethernet connection. Each system operates

independently of one another yet they may all be monitored

and controlled through a common computer. Such a system

would include the Quantum™ LX Condenser/Vessel Interface

Panel, an Ethernet Hub or Switch, Condenser/Vessel panels

and a computer running a Web Browser. A simplied example

System Installation

An in depth installation setup is beyond the scope of this

guide, however some basic rules can be observed:

• Maintain a total distance of 2000 feet or less between

the Operator Interface Panel, and the very last Remote

I/O Panel on any one communications cable run. As will

be explained later, it is possible to have two separate

communications cable runs, depending upon the total

number of Remote I/O Panels. Keep in mind that neither

of these cable runs can exceed 2000 feet in length.

• The system is capable of Ethernet communications, this

may be something to consider when placing Interface

Panels, as you would want a nearby Ethernet connection

to be available.

• Keep all communications wiring in a separate conduit

from control wiring.

• When wiring for communications, it is important to

ground only one end of the communications cable. This

ground will be located in the very last Remote Panel of

each communications cable run. If the communications

were to be grounded at both ends, then it would be

possible for ground loops to develop, which could impair

communications between panels.

• Interface Panels should be located in easy access areas,

and should be mounted at eye level for screen viewing.

• I/O Panels are rated for both indoor and outdoor use.

Although access to the Remote Panels will be rare after

installation and setup, it is still advantageous to keep

them accessible for potential maintenance situations

(reasonable lighting, sufcient door swing, etc.).

• Install all panels within a convenient distance of a power

source.

Wiring For AC Power

Interface Panel

The incoming AC power will consist of three 14 AWG wires

(hot, neutral and ground).

• Unlatch the two ¼ turn cover latches to the Interface

panel, and open the door.

• Inside the enclosure, you will nd a power supply and a

terminal strip, as shown here:

• Connect the three incoming AC wires to the terminal

screws as shown previously.

• Proceed to the section entitled Checking the AC Power.

QUANTUM™ LX CONDENSER/VESSEL CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION

090.560-O (MAY 2016)

Page 6

Condenser/Vessel Panel

As with the Interface panel, the incoming AC power will con-

sist of three 14 AWG wires (hot, neutral and ground).

• Unlatch the two ¼ turn cover latches to the Interface

panel, and open the door.

• Inside the enclosure, there is a long DIN rail at the left

side of the panel. At the top of the DIN rail is a terminal

strip (if the unit is equipped with an optional panel heat-

er, there will also be a circuit breaker), as shown here:

• Connect the three incoming AC wires to the terminal

screws shown above.

• Notice that there are multiple number 2 terminals, con-

nection may be made to any of them.

• Proceed to the section entitled Checking the AC Power.

Checking The AC Power

Interface Panel

• Ensure that the Control Power switch is in the OFF posi-

tion.

• Energize the 120 Volt circuit at its source.

• Using a DVM, measure the voltage at the AC power ter-

minal strip. Ensure that you read approximately 120 VAC

between Hot and Neutral, and Hot and Ground. There

must not be voltage between Neutral and Ground.

• Once the incoming voltage has been veried, turn the

Control Power switch to ON.

• On the enclosure door, and watch the Quantum™ LX

controller (on the backside of the door). You should

notice various LED’s blinking or ashing.

• Watch the display on the front of the door. After a short

period of time, you should notice the display showing a

boot sequence. Various text messages will be shown as

it proceeds with the boot-up process. When nished, a

screen similar to the following image should be visible:

• If the panel has reached the point of showing the above

screen, the boot process was successful. Turn OFF the

Control Power switch, and De-energize the 120 Volt

circuit at its source.

• If the panel does not reach to the point of showing the

above screen, then troubleshooting will be required.

Refer to end of this guide entitled Troubleshooting.

Condenser/Vessel Panel

• Unlike the Interface Panel, the Condenser/Vessel panel(s)

do not have an external power switch. Instead, the

enclosure will contain two HOA (Hand-Off Automatic

Modules). These modules allow the technician to over-

ride control signals, by manually energizing components.

An example of one of these modules is shown here:

Red, power OFF

tab

Black, power ON

plunger

• Notice in the above pictorial, there is a Red power OFF

tab, and a black power ON plunger. These items are

located on a circuit breaker for each of the two HOA

modules. Together, they act as the Control Power switch.

• Push each of the Red power OFF tabs down. The Black

power ON plunger should pop up. If the plunger does not

pop up, then the power was already off. Do this to both

HOA modules.

QUANTUM™ LX CONDENSER/VESSEL CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION 090.560-O (MAY 2016)

Page 7

• Energize the 120 Volt circuit at its source.

• Using a DVM, measure the voltage at the AC power ter-

minals (1, 2 and PE). Ensure that you read approximately

120 VAC between Hot and Neutral, and Hot and Ground.

There must not be voltage between Neutral and Ground.

• Once the incoming voltage has been veried, push in the

Black power ON plungers of both HOA modules.

• To the right of the HOA modules are several I/O boards.

There will be at least one Digital board (recognizable by

the plug-in I/O modules), and one Analog board. Inspect

all boards for the presence of ashing, blinking or steadi-

ly lit LED’s. If LED’s are lit on all boards, then power has

been properly applied.

• If LED’s are not lit on all boards, then refer to the section

entitled Troubleshooting.

Wiring For Communications

NOTICE

Refer to the section entitled CONDENSER/VESSEL SYSTEM

COMMUNICATIONS WIRING DIAGRAM, for additional in-

formation about how the system is congured.

Interface Panel

Depending upon the conguration of the system, there may

be a Condenser panel, and/or a Vessel panel. A common

communications cable needs to be run from the Quantum™

LX panel to each of these. Refer to the section entitled

Condenser/Vessel System Communications Wiring Diagram.

The incoming RS-485 communications cable to the interface

panel will be a two-conductor, shielded type. Frick Controls

recommends the use of Belden #9841 or equal.

Wiring the Quantum™ LX Panel

Use the following wiring procedure:

• Open the Quantum™ LX panel door.

• On the inside of the enclosure door, you will nd the Q4/

Q5 controller, and a three position terminal block. Notice

that there are two wires that connect from the left side

of the terminal block, to the Q4/Q5 at Comm. 4. These

are the internal TX / RX communications wires. You will

be connecting the external eld communications wires to

the other (right) side of these terminals.

• Take the end of the incoming communications cable, and

strip about 2 inches of insulation from the end.

• Clip the shield wire back even with the insulation, and ei-

ther use heat shrink tubing to cover the area, or electri-

cal tape. This will help to ensure that any strands of the

shield that may be exposed don’t come into contact with

any live voltage areas of the panel.

• Strip the end of each of the two remaining conductors

back about ¼ of an inch. Generally there are only three

color combinations available depending on the type of

cable used. There will be either a black and white/clear

insulated wire, a red and white/clear insulated wire, or

a red and black. Either way, one of the wires should be

black. Take the black wire and insert it into the top posi-

tion of the terminal block (labeled as –TX/RX).

• Take the remaining wire (white/clear or red) and insert it

into the second position down from the top of the termi-

nal block (labeled as +TX/RX).

• It is very important that the colors of these wires follow

this same polarity scheme throughout the daisy-chaining

process to all panels.

• Refer to the CONDENSER/VESSEL SYSTEM COMMUNICA-

TIONS WIRING DIAGRAM in this guide to verify dipswitch

settings.

Select the [Menu] key again. This time, an expanded menu

will appear:

From the above menu, select [Home] to return to the Operat-

ing Status screen.

At this point, the Interface Panel has been set to allow access

for the remainder of all procedures.

Verifying Communications

The rst step in verifying communications is to view what

I/O boards have been detected by the Quantum™ LX Inter-

face Panel. This information will appear on the About screen,

shown here:

Review the information that is shown in the Analog and Digi-

tal Board areas of the screen. Compare what is shown against

what is actually installed.

NOTICE

This screen does not update (refresh) automatically. To

see any new or different information that may occur, you

must access a different screen, then come back to this

one to see any new data.

The analog board area of the screen can list up to two pos-

sible analog boards that are allowed (one for Condenser and

one for Vessel). In the digital board area, Up to four total

boards may be listed:

• A Condenser panel will have one standard digital board,

and can have one optional digital board.

• A Vessel panel will have one standard digital board, and

can have one optional digital board.

Initial Startup And Login

To initiate the startup and login process, the Interface Panel

and each of the Condenser and Vessel Panels will need to be

powered up. It is assumed that the power has already been

veried in the Checking The AC Power section.

Once the Interface Panel has fully booted, the following

screen will appear:

This is the default screen, and will appear each time power

has been cycled.

From the above screen, press the [Menu] key.

The following drop down menu will appear:

Using the keypad up/down arrow keys scroll down to high-

light Session and press [Enter].

The following screen will replace the Operating Screen:

Change the User Level to [3], and enter a password of [4824].

This sets the Level to 3, which allows access to all features.

Press [Submit].

Compare what is displayed here with what is actually installed

in your system. If a board is physically installed in a panel, yet

does not show up on this screen, then nd the panel that the

board is located in, and visually check the RX and TX LED’s

on the board. These LEDs should be ashing. The RX LED will

be ashing much faster than the TX LED, but neither should

be off completely, as this indicates a potential wiring prob-

lem.

Start by verifying that the boards within the rst panel in

the communications line are correctly being detected. Then

move on to the next panel. If the rst panel in the commu-

nications daisy chain shows correctly, but there is a problem

with the second panel, then do nothing with the wiring up to

and including the rst panel. Inspect instead the last panel

for proper communications polarity and connections. A good

indication that you have wires backwards (reversed) would be

that the RX LED is on solid within the suspect panel. If wiring

WAS found to be incorrect, make the correction, and then

access the Communications screen by selecting Conguration

from the Main Menu, then Conguration, and nally Commu-

nications.

On the Communications screen shown above, use the [Tab]

key to select Redetect IO Comms and press [Enter]. This will

cause the Quantum™ LX controller to reinitiate all commu-

nications with the system. After redetecting IO Comms, wait

about 30 seconds, then access the About screen once again.

If the wiring issue has been corrected, the questionable I/O

board should now be listed, and the RX/TX LED’s for that

board should be ashing normally.

When all installed boards have been detected, then the basic

setup is complete. You can now move on to conguring the

system operating parameters.

Panel Conguration

Access this screen from the Main Menu. Select Conguration

> Panel Conguration. The following screen will appear:

If a Condenser is installed, it should be enabled. The same is

true for each installed Vessel. The Panel Conguration screen

also provides the ability to supply a unique name for each

installed Vessel. After moving the cursor to one of the Name

elds, press the Up Arrow key to access an alpha/numeric

data entry screen, as shown here:

The Alpha screen shows a graphic representation of the nu-

merical keypad. The symbols that appear above each key on

this screen are the possible combinations of symbols that are

associated with the digital portion of the key.

As an example, suppose that you wanted to modify the text

line in the screen example shown. You want to change the

line from reading Vessel 1, to Recirculator. The rst thing you

would do, is to use the [Backspace] key on the keypad to

position the cursor (blinking vertical line), to the far left side

of the text. Notice as the cursor backspaces, it erases the

current line of text.

Press the number [6] key (notice that the capital R is one of

the symbols in the line right above the [6] key). A capital P

will appear in the Current Character box. Continue to press

the [6] until the capital R appears there. Now press the [Up

Arrow] key, and notice that the R has been placed on the text

line in the rst position.

The process used for establishing calibration values is rela-

tively simple. For temperature for example, it will require

a container of ice water or an infrared digital temperature

probe.

First, establish the temperature for a specic temperature

sensor. If a digital infrared measurement device is used,

simply enter the calibrated temperature into the Current

Value box and press [Submit]. The system will automatically

calculate the correct offset value to use. If an ice bath is

used, simply allow the temperature of the sensor to stabi-

lize, and then enter 32 into the Current Value box and press

[Submit]. This process should be repeated for each sensor in

the system.

Establishing Setpoints

Step Control

Condenser Step Control setpoints must be setup. Access

this screen from the Main Menu. Select Setpoints > Con-

denser > Step Control.

These setpoints are used to congure the operating

characteristics for both summer and winter modes.

• Control/Defrost Setpoints

• Deadband/Delay selection

• Outside Air Temp. Control

Next press the [8] key on the keypad, and continue pressing it

until the small e appears in the Current Character box. Press

the [Up Arrow] key to place the e on the text line. Continue

entering text until you are satised with the changes that you

have made, press the [Enter] key to accept them, and you will

be returned to the previous screen. Once all vessel names

have been entered (if desired), press the [Submit] key.

NOTE: If many elds need to be renamed, the user can use a

computer keyboard as follows:

• Q4 controller - Use a keyboard with a PS2 style con-

nector and plug it into the socket labeled PL7 of the Q4

board.

• Q5 controller - Use a keyboard with a USB style connec-

tor and plug it into one of the two available USB connec-

tors on the Q5 Interface board.

Condenser Conguration

Introduction

If a Condenser is not part of the installed system, skip to the

Vessel Conguration. Before the Condenser system can be

effectively put into operation, certain setup parameters must

be performed and veried. The following listing shows these

basic steps:

• Calibrating Sensors - The rst of these steps is to

calibrate all installed sensors. A sensor that is out of

calibration will cause improper and inefcient operation

of the system.

• Establishing Setpoints - Setpoints need to be set to

dene the various ranges that the system will control

within.

• Step Conguration – This assigns a sequence of opera-

tion that all fans, pumps and motors can be energized or

de-energized, in any combination, to achieve the desired

control.

• Variable Speed Fan –This allows any installed variable

speed fan to be customized with regard to its speed and

on/off control.

• Control Overrides – Here you are able to ne tune the

system by allowing certain conditions to be delayed from

occurring until the system settles.

• Alarms – Alarms and Warnings are inevitable during

system setup, you may view any alarms and clear them

from here.

• Condenser Status – Once everything has been setup,

the operation of the system can be monitored from this

screen.

Calibrating Sensors

Each temperature, pressure or humidity sensor on the

Condenser must be calibrated before the system is put into

operation.

Access this screen from the Main Menu. Select Calibration >

Vessel Conguration

Introduction

If a Vessel is not part of the installed system, then go to the

Condenser Conguration. Before the Vessel system can be

effectively put into operation, certain setup parameters must

be performed and veried. The following listing shows these

basic steps:

• Calibrating Sensors - The rst of these steps is to

calibrate all installed sensors. A sensor that is out of

calibration will cause improper and inefcient operation

of the system.

• Establishing Setpoints - Setpoints need to be set to

dene the various ranges that the system will control

within.

• Level Control – The level control system can be custom-

ized here.

• Pump Control – This allows for ne tuning of the in-

stalled pumps.

• Safeties – Here you may assign certain operational

ranges that will cause an alarm or warning to be gener-

ated if exceeded.

• Alarms – Alarms and Warnings are inevitable during

system setup, you may view any alarms and clear them

from here.

• Vessel Status – Once everything has been setup, the op-

eration of the system can be monitored from this screen.

Calibrating Sensors

Each temperature, pressure or humidity sensor on the Vessel

should be calibrated before the system is put into operation.

Access this screen from the Main Menu. Select Calibration >

Vessel 1 (2 or 3):

Establishing Setpoints

Level Control

Vessel Level Control setpoints must be setup for each

Vessel that is enabled. Access these screens from the

Main Menu. Select Setpoints > Vessel 1 (2 or 3) > Level

Control.

This screen permits the installer to utilize either analog

level control with a PI Loop, or digital level control based

on a single level transmitter, or two oat sensors.

Ammonia System Conguration

Introduction

Before the Condenser/Vessel system can be effectively put

into operation, certain setup parameters must be performed

and veried. The following listing shows these basic steps:

• Conguring Ammonia Sensors - The rst of these steps

is to congure the installed ammonia sensors. This al-

lows the controller to be able to properly display warning

messages about the ammonia system.

• Calibrating Sensors – Next you will need to calibrate all

installed ammonia sensors. A sensor that is out of cali-

bration can cause a potentially dangerous ammonia leak

to be undetected.

• Safeties – Here you may assign operational ranges that

will cause an alarm or warning to be generated if an am-

monia reading is exceeded.

Conguration - Ammonia Sensors

There are three system wide warning/shutdown outputs that

can be congured. To access this conguration screen, select

Menu > Conguration > Digital I/O > Digital Outputs > Page 2:

At the bottom of this screen you can congure the board and

channel for the three Ammonia Output warning and shut-

down alarms. These will alert the user if ANY of the ammonia

sensors has an active warning or shutdown. These warnings

and shutdowns can be used for plant warnings that pertain to

ammonia and not standard shutdowns or warnings.

Calibrating Ammonia Sensors

Each Ammonia sensor that is to be used must be calibrated

before the system is put into operation. Sensors may be

installed on both the Condenser and/or Vessels (up to three

total sensors).

The rst step in conguring and calibration the ammonia sen-

sors, is to insure that all sensors are rst plugged in.

NOTE: Set the User Level to 3 (from the Session screen).

Access the Ammonia Calibration screen from the Main Menu.

Select Calibration > Ammonia:

Notice that there are three lines on this screen, labeled as

Ammonia 1, 2 and 3. If you custom name each of these sen-

sors (as described later in this manual), your custom names

will replace those shown here.

Use the above screen to calibrate each ammonia input chan-

nel using an ammonia detector.

The rst box on each line is for Current Value. Read the value

shown on the ammonia detector for the rst sensor, and

enter that reading into the Current Value box. Use the Offset

box to adjust the Current Value.

Set the Low and High Range values according to the ranges

of the sensor itself.

The Sensor Signal type must be set next. A drop-down menu

is provided to select between the following choices:

• None • RTD

• 0-5V • CT

• 1-5V • RPM

• 4-20mA • Vibration

• Pot. • 0-10V

• ICTD • +/- 5V

Most sensors will be 4-20mA.

Next, the Device Source must be selected. This setting tells

the Quantum™ LX what Analog board the device is connect-

ed to. A drop-down menu is provided to select between:

• None

• Analog Board 1

• Analog Board 2

• Analog Board 3

Lastly, the I/O channel must be dened. Enter the value that

corresponds to the channel number of the Analog board that

the sensor is connected to.

Once congured, ensure that the value shown in the Cur-

rent Value box of each attached sensor matches the value as

shown on the ammonia detector.

Setpoints - Ammonia Safeties

After calibrating all ammonia sensors, the alarm thresholds

(safeties) need to be set. Access the following screen from

the Main Menu. Select Setpoints >Ammonia Safeties:

The purpose of this screen is to allow the user to assign

safety ranges for up to three different ammonia sensors. If

any of these sensors should exceed the values set for it, an

appropriate message will be shown on the Status screen for

the unit (Condenser or Vessel) selected, and an associated

output can be energized in the event that a shutdown occurs.

This output can be used to control external functions, such as

controlling an exhaust fan, signal an alarm, or provide a signal

to a compressor or PLC for additional control.

Page 17

These warnings and shutdowns do not affect the operation

of a Condenser or Vessel, it simply provides for a warning or

shutdown message to be displayed, and provide a method for

handling a shutdown situation through external means.

A drop-down selection box appears that allows the user to

set the Ammonia unit conguration. The selection made here

determines on which Status Screen a warning or shutdown

will be displayed. The choices are:

• Condenser

• Vessel 1

• Vessel 2

• Vessel 3

• Disabled

The following setpoint boxes appear on this screen:

• Name – A user specied custom name may be entered

here.

• Warning – If the Ammonia sensor input value exceeds

this setpoint for the Delay period of time, an Ammonia

Warning will message will be displayed on the Status

screen for the unit that is selected on the Ammonia

Safety Conguration drop-down box.

• Delay - The amount of time after the ammonia sensor

input value exceeds the Ammonia Warning setpoint

before a warning will be displayed.

• Shutdown – If the Ammonia sensor input value exceeds

this setpoint for the Delay period of time, an Ammonia

Shutdown event will occur. This event does not actu-

ally shutdown a unit, but issues a shutdown message

to the selected Status Screen, as well as energizing the

selected Ammonia Output (1, 2 or 3).

• Delay - The amount of time after the ammonia sensor

input value exceeds the Ammonia Shutdown setpoint

before a Shutdown event will occur.

A drop-down selection box appears that allows the user to

associate an Ammonia Output channel to each shutdown.

NOTE: The selected output will not be energized by a warn-

ing, only a shutdown. The choices are:

• Ammonia Output 1

• Ammonia Output 2

• Ammonia Output 3

Troubleshooting

The following section will help to identify some common

problems that may arise within a Condenser/Vessel system.

Use this section in conjunction with the 090.560-M (Mainte-

nance) manual.

Operator Interface Panel

1. Quantum™ LX controller does not have any LED’s lit:

• Check for the presence of 120 VAC power at the incom-

ing AC terminal strip. (see the section entitled CHECKING

THE AC POWER)

• Check for presence of proper DC power to Quantum™

(refer to the 090-560 M manual under the section en-

titled QUANTUM™ LX CONTROL PANEL POWER SUPPLY.

• If the Quantum™ controller has proper DC voltage ap-

plied, then with turn the control power OFF, remove the

program ash card, and recycle the power. If the LED’s

do not start their booting pattern, continue to the next

step.

• Try disconnecting all cables one at a time (with the

exception of the DC power). If the LED’s start ashing

normally, then reconnect the removed cables one at a

time, until the problem reappears, then troubleshoot that

cable.

• If the DC power to the Quantum™ controller is nor-

mal, and the cables from the previous step had all been

removed without correcting the problem, then the board

will need replaced.

2. Quantum™ LX appears to boot normally, but nothing

shows on the display:

• Ensure that the display cable is securely plugged in at

both ends.

• Verify that jumpers LK3 and LK4 on the Quantum™ are

set properly. Both links should be set to position B.

• Ensure that the connectors on both ends of backlight

inverter board are plugged in securely. Use caution when

checking around the inverter, as high DC voltage is pres-

ent when the control power is ON.

• Shine a ashlight onto the display screen at an angle.

If the Quantum™ has properly booted, you should see

some text dimly shown on the screen. If it appears as

though there IS something being displayed, but it is not

visible, then there is a problem with the backlight, the

inverter, cable or Quantum™.

Condenser/Vessel Panel(s)

1. LED’s are not lit on one or more I/O boards within the

panel.

• Ensure that both HOA modules have their circuit break-

ers engaged (see the section entitled CHECKING THE AC

POWER).

• If both breakers are engaged, check the incoming 120

VAC power. (see the section entitled CHECKING THE AC

POWER)

• If AC power is correct, and breakers are engaged,

measure the DC voltage to the questionable board(s) as

described in the Digital or Analog board sections of the

090.560-M (Maintenance) manual.

• If DC power to the questionable board(s) is good, replace

the board.

2. One or more of the boards within a Remote Panel are not

being detected on the About screen:

• Refer to the Condenser/Vessel System Communications

Wiring Diagram and verify that the board DIPSWITCH

settings are correct.

• Verify that the communications wiring polarity is correct.

• Push the [Redetect] button on the About screen to see if

the failing board is now redetected.

Typical System Conguration

Each Condenser/Vessel system operates independently of one

another yet they may all be inter-connected via a common

Ethernet connection. A system will include the Quantum™ LX

Condenser/Vessel Interface Panel, and one or more Remote

panels, and optionally an Ethernet Hub or Switch, and a com-

puter with Web Browser.

The Interface Panel can then be connected to an HMI or a

remote computer. Refer to the following pictorial:

Connecting A Computer Directly To A Quantum™ LX Control Panel
