OPERATION - SERVICE

TYPICAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

A typical AcuAir® system may involve as few as one unit,

or nearly an infinite number of units. Each air-handling

unit within the AcuAir® system operates independently of

one another yet they may all be connected via a common

Ethernet connection. The three major parts of a system

include the air-handling unit with controller, an Ethernet

Hub or Switch, and a computer with Web Browser or an

Operator Interface Panel (HMI).

The purpose of the unit controller is of course to provide

control to the mechanics of the Air Handler. Each of these

controllers is connected to a Hub or Switch, and the

Hub/Switch is then connected to the Ethernet (which

allows the computer or HMI to view all units). The

Ethernet cables used in this configuration are all of the

“straight through” or pin-to-pin variety. Refer to the

following pictorial:

CONNECTING A COMPUTER DIRECTLY TO A PANEL

Especially for the purpose of maintenance, if you wish to

connect directly to a single panel from a computer

(desktop or laptop), you can avoid the switch and use a

crossover Cat-5 cable:

With a crossover cable, you can directly connect one

Ethernet device (computer) to the other (Quantum™

panel) without a Switch or Hub.

Refer to the following pictorial and color code table to

construct a crossover cable:

OPERATION - SERVICE

OVERVIEW OF OPERATOR INTERFACES

There are two possible methods of viewing and accessing

the user interface. One of these methods is in the form of

a standard Web Browser and the other is an optional

AcuAir® Operator Interface Touch screen.

Web Browser

The web browser interface can be viewed from any

desktop or laptop computer, which has access to the

network that an AcuAir® panel is attached to. To change

screens, setpoints, etc., you simply use a mouse and the

keyboard to view and change data.

All AcuAir® screens that are shown will have a several

buttons on the right hand side of the screen. Most screens

will have three buttons, and one setpoint box. The three

buttons are:

[Menu] – Clicking on this button will cause the main

menu to appear on the left side of the screen.

Clicking a second time will cause the menu to

disappear.

[Start Refresh] [Stop Refresh] – This button(s) appears

immediately below the [Menu] button. This is actually a

toggle button, as it changes function from Start Refresh

to Stop Refresh each time it is clicked on. When the

button shows as Start Refresh, a setpoint box will

appear below it, with a time value displayed. The time

value determines how often the display screen will

refresh, or update its values. This time value is

defaulted to 5 seconds, which means that the display

will update all values shown every 5 seconds.

Depending on the network connection speed, this

updating may interfere with your ability to change data

setpoints, because the screen will refresh while you are

entering the data. To solve this, simply increase the

refresh time. The other alternative is to toggle the

Refresh Button. By pressing [Stop Refresh], screen

refreshing will terminate, and the time setpoint box will

reappear. In this state, the particular screen that you

are viewing will never update the displayed values.

Changing to another screen will show the most recent

values on the new screen, and then will not update

again. So in the Stop Refresh state, screens will only be

updated when new screens are accessed. This feature

should not be used when monitoring for data. Try to

find an acceptable refresh time for the Start Refresh

state.

One screen that DOES NOT have these buttons is:

Software Maintenance

– To leave this screen,

click on [Exit] button. Note: Using the [Exit]

button takes several seconds, and it will force the

password level back to zero.

There are numerous screens that have additional

buttons to those mentioned here. These additional

buttons are self-intuitive, and as such, are not

discussed here.

FRICK® QUANTUM™ LX AcuAir® CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION - SERVICE

AcuAir® Operator Interface Touch Screen

General Description

This optional user interface has been designed to

allow an operator to efficiently access, control and

monitor the operation of all Frick AcuAir® units from a

single access point, when all units are connected

through a common Ethernet network. The touch

screen control panel is used for graphic displays. By

touching an active area of the display, a data entry

box will appear, allowing the operator to enter

different setpoint values, via a keyboard overlay, that

will appear on the screen. The Operator Interface

panel provides a platform to easily navigate between

all networked control systems, as well as a remote

access point which is reachable from any desktop

web browser. Remote access provides users with the

ability to connect to Frick control systems from both

home and office, or any other location providing

Internet access.

Touch Screen Calibration

When the panel completes it boot sequence, the user

will be presented with a message box which requests

the user to touch the screen to enter calibration

mode. If the user touches the message box before

the 3-second timer expires, the screen will change,

presenting the user with four orange targets. These

targets permit the user to calibrate the touch screen’s

mouse pointer location. If these points are not

properly set, the mouse pointer will not appear where

the user’s finger makes contact with the screen. Once

the screen’s calibration target appear, it is best to use

a dull pointed object to touch each of the four

targets, as a finger makes contact with an area too

large to provide accurate calibration.

Browser and Keyboard

Both the browser and keyboard should appear on the

screen once the panel has finished its startup

sequence. Each panel is equipped with a program

which will restart the keyboard and browser if either

application is closed. The browser has a small icon in

the center of the top tool bar, which permits the user

to return to the panel Home Page at any time. From

the panel Home Page, the Keyboard button can be

used to restart the on-screen keyboard should it

disappear.

The keyboard can be used to enter text into any field

appearing within a web page. To enter text into a

field, simply touch the desired field in the web

browser. If the field is properly selected, a cursor

should appear within the text field. The user can also

drag his/her finger over a segment of text in the field

to “select” it. Any key strokes from the keyboard will

then replace the highlighted text.

If the keyboard fails to transmit characters into the

desired text field, there could be one of two

problems. First, be sure the text field is selected.

Typically the cursor is a good indicator that focus has

shifted to the desired text field. The second problem

involves a keyboard loss of focus. To resolve this

problem, first touch the desired text field, then touch

the [Focus] button on the bottom right-hand corner

of the keyboard, finally touch the desired text field a

second time. After this sequence, characters should

be directed to the correct location. This three-step

sequence should be used whenever the keyboard

appears unresponsive.

Keyboard Overlay

Home Page

The panel Home Page displays all the units accessible

through the Operator Interface Panel. Any configured

units will appear with an icon and a descriptive label.

If an icon is touched, the web browser will be

directed to the Quantum LX control page. To return

090-510 O (OCT 10)

Page 7

FRICK® QUANTUM™ LX AcuAir® CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION - SERVICE

to the Operator Interface Panel’s Home Page simply

touch the “Home” icon on the browser’s toolbar.

Admin Home Page

The Operator Interface Panel is equipped with the

Admin Home Page to handle various configuration

functions. This area can be accessed by pressing the

Admin button on the panel’s Home Page. As user

name and password are required to access this area

(Username: admin, Password: 2staycold).

Upon entering the admin area, the user will be

presented with the list of all registered units (nothing

will be displayed here if no units are registered). If

any registered units are listed, and Edit button at the

end of each row allows the user to change the

specifications of a specific unit. A row of Admin

buttons across the top of the page allow the user to

add new units, or delete units from the list of

registered units. Each unit must have a unique name

(no two units can have the same name) and an IP

address (the IP address is not required to be unique,

so more than one link can redirect the user to the

same unit). The user can also select the type of unit

which results in an appropriate icon being displayed

on the panel Home Page where all units are listed.

Network Configuration

In the Admin area, the Network Config button can be

selected to modify the Operator Interface Panel’s

network settings. When the page is loaded, the

current network settings are displayed for the user to

view. It is possible to change the IP address, subnet

mask, and default gateway. The IP address type can

be static or dynamic; the later option requires a DHCP

server to be present. Please consult a network

administrator to modify the values correctly. It is also

possible to specify a network name, allowing access

to the Panel from a Windows network.

Finally, the web server port can be changed from the

Network Configuration page. This is traditionally set

to 80 which all web browsers understand to be the

default port. If this is changed to any other value, the

panel can only be reached from an external computer

by appending the port number to the IP address (e.g.

if the Panel’s IP address is 192.168.0.5 and the web

server port is 400, an external web browser will

access the panel through the address:

192.168.0.5:400). If this panel does not need to be

reached from an external computer, then the web

server port setting should be disregarded.

In the event the web server port or IP address

settings are changed, the panel may need to perform

a reboot before these changes take effect. This it will

do automatically, and the user will be notified when

this is about to occur.

Resetting the IP Address

In the rare occurrence that a local Air Handler loses

Ethernet communications with the Web Browser or

Operator Interface Panel, it could be that the unit has

an invalid IP address. One way that this could happen

would be if the unit has just had a program upgrade,

without the setpoints being properly saved then

restored (the IP address is stored as a setpoint to the

flash card).

In order to correct this situation, perform the

following steps:

1. Power down the failing unit.

2. Locate the processor board (located on the

inside of the top door).

3. On the processor board (the larger of the

two boards), locate and temporarily remove

LK12.

4. Power the unit up.

5. Wait for one minute to allow the processor

to fully boot.

6. Power the unit down.

7. Replace LK12.

8. Power back up. The IP address will be

automatically set to 192.168.0.105. This

address is known to work, and should solve

the problem. At this point, the unit should

show up at the Web Browser or Interface

panel (HMI). If the user wishes, they may

now go into the HMI and modify the IP

address for the unit in question to the

number that they need it to be, or they may

leave it alone.

If the above steps fail to bring the unit back into the

network, you should check the Ethernet cables, hub

or switch, Quantum™ control board, etc.

FRICK® QUANTUM™ LX AcuAir® CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION - SERVICE

OPERATOR ACCESS

Operator access to this system is through various screens.

A screen is the physical representation of data on the

display. Icons have been used to help an operator quickly

identify functions. An icon is a small graphic symbol

representation. Each screen has a title area. The title is

descriptive of the screen. The current date and time is

shown in this title area. The day of the week, Sunday

(Sun.) through Saturday (Sat.) is displayed. The month of

the year from January (Jan.) to December (Dec.) is

displayed. The day of the month from 1 to 31 and the year

from 0001 to 9999 is displayed. The time displayed is the

current time in 24 hours (military) format. The hours,

minutes and seconds are displayed.

Some screens are for informational purposes only, and

cannot be modified. These screens typically show analog

values such as temperature and humidity, which are

strictly functions of an associated sensor, and as such,

cannot be modified. Other screens show setpoint values

that allow the operator to change, in order modify the

units operating characteristics. For easier viewing, related

information is separated into boxes. To further assist the

operator, an on-line help is provided. Sometimes

selections appear differently (a box may be dimmed) to

indicate that the feature is unavailable.

TO CHANGE SETPOINTS

The setpoints define the operation and limits of each air

unit. Adjustable setpoints are setpoints that an operator

can easily change in the field. These setpoints are stored

in EPROM (non-volatile memory).

NOTE: Adjustable Setpoints are not lost after power is

interrupted. However, we suggest that a list of Adjustable

Setpoints be recorded and stored safely to facilitate

reentry, in case there is a need to return to the original

settings.

1. The data entry fields are identified by a black box

with a white interior. The data is shown in black

text. When on a screen that has adjustable

setpoints, select the setpoint box that you wish

to modify (either by touching that box if a touch-

screen or selecting it with a mouse for a web

browser). Once the data field has been selected,

the background turns blue, and the text turns

white.

2. The current value of that setpoint is shown. Use

the keyboard to enter the new value. Typing a

new value will completely erase the old value.

3. Press the keyboard [ENTER] key to input the new

data in the data entry field and to move to the

next data entry field.

4. If the data entered into the setpoint box is valid,

then once you have pressed the keyboard

[ENTER] key, the [SUBMIT] box in the lower left

hand side of the viewing screen will turn from a

grey background, to a red background. Press the

[SUBMIT] button to load the changed setpoint to

the controller.

5. If the value is out of bounds, an error message

box displays the proper range of values. Press

the [OK] button to acknowledge the error

message. Re-enter the correct value.

When finished making any changes to the data on an

adjustable setpoint display press the [SUBMIT] key to

accept all changes.

INITIAL SETUP PROCEDURE

The following is a basic guide to unit setup.

1.

Configuration

is performed first. Although there

are four different

Configuration

screens, only the

Control Configuration

needs to be setup for unit

operation.

To gain access to

Control Configuration

, login to

User Level 2. The following items are setup on

the two

Control

C

onfiguration

pages:

 Mode Configuration

 Control Temperature

 Control Source

 Supply Burner

 Heating

 Dehumidification

 Damper

 Exhaust

 Exhaust Control

 Exhaust Fan Run Warning

 Supply Fan

 Room Pressure

 Pre-Coil Override

 Discharge Temperature

 Desiccant Heat Source

 Defrost

 Defrost Initiation

 Air Defrost

 Smoke Detector – Enables or Disables

the input for a Smoke Detector. For fail-

safe operation, this input is energized

when there is no problem and de-

energized on a fault such as a fire.

 Cooling – Used for temperature control.

The liquid valve is open because the

control temperature equals or exceeds

the liquid on setpoint. If the suction

valve is not a modulating valve, it is

open during cooling. During cooling, a

modulating valve regulates the suction

valve based on its setpoints.

 Pre-Wheel Cooling

2.

Setpoints

are established next. Each unit must be

setup to the customer specific control features

and options to be used by a unit controller board.

This setup should not need to be changed by

operators. Setpoints are intended to be accessed

and modified only by a Factory Representative or

Distributor. Only those setpoints that will be

utilized for unit operation need be set. The

following is the list of available setpoint screens:

3. Calibrate the control devices. Each sensor or

transducer that is utilized by the unit must have

its operating characteristics defined. This is

where the controller is told what each devices

high and low operating ranges are, as well as

offsets. The offsets are used to fine tune the

device with reference to a known external

calibration device:

 Temperature

 Pressure

 Miscellaneous

 Auxiliaries

 Analog Outputs

4. From Security Setup, establish the desired access

rights of the operators.

The panel now provides quick access to the most

important information and controls of the units and their

subsystems.

screen. Once set, the date will be

automatically adjusted for at the end of each month,

much like the calendar feature of most modern

watches. The primary use of the date feature is to

provide a date stamp for Warnings and Shutdowns.

Refer to the section entitled

Setting the Date and

Time

for further information.

TIME - The actual time will be displayed in this box.

The time must first be set correctly on the

Configuration

screen. The time will also need to be

adjusted for those locations which observe Daylight

Savings Time. The primary use of the time feature is

to provide a time stamp for Warnings and Shutdowns.

Refer to the section entitled

Setting the Date and

Time

for further information.

SCREEN TITLE - This is the title for the screen that is

USER DEFINED OPERATING STATUS

ACCESSING:

DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this screen is to allow the user to assign additional analog channels to be more readily

viewable. Since the main

Operating Status

(Home) screen is capable of only showing a limited number of pre-assigned

analog values, it may be desirable for the user to have a method of viewing additional information that they can select, on

a common screen. They may even select values that are already being displayed on the

Operating Status

screen, as well

as values that are not shown there.

This screen is provided to allow the user to view up to 20

different analog channels of their choosing.

As an example of how this screen works, assume that in

addition to the data that is shown on the

Operating Status

screen, the user would like to monitor the

Outside Air

Temperature, Room Air Humidity

and

Pre-coil Air

Temperature,

all on the same screen (this one). Notice that

Outside Air Temperature

and

Room Air Humidity

are already

shown on the

Operating Status

(Home) screen, but the

Pre-

coil Air Temperature

is shown on the

OPERATING VALUES – OPERATING STATUS 2

ACCESSING:

DESCRIPTION: The

Operating Status 2

screen shows additional unit information.

The

Operating Status 2

, displays additional information

that cannot be shown on the first

Operating Status

screen. Along the sides of the page are labels identifying

the various areas of the screen.

The following information is shown on this screen:

DATE - The actual date will be displayed in this box.

The date must first be set correctly on the

Configuration

screen. Once set, the date will be

automatically adjusted for at the end of each month,

much like the calendar feature of most modern

watches. The primary use of the date feature is to

provide a date stamp for Warnings and Shutdowns.

TIME - The actual time will be displayed in this box.

The time must first be set correctly on the

Configuration

screen. The time will also need to be

adjusted for those locations which observe Daylight

Savings Time. The primary use of the time feature is

to provide a time stamp for Warnings and Shutdowns.

SCREEN TITLE - This is the title for the screen that is

showing. Each screen will have a title. The

Quantum™ LX manuals will extensively refer to

screens by these names. When referred to in these

manuals, screen names will be shown in bold italic

print, such as

Operating Status

.

ID - The number that has been assigned to this

particular unit on the

Communications Setup

screen.

RUN HOURS – The total number of hours that the Air

Handler has run since the unit was installed.

WARNING/SHUTDOWN STATUS BOX - The

Warning/Shutdown Status is displayed below the

Mode of Operation

status box. This status box is blank

with no message if there are no warnings or

shutdowns present.

If a Warning or Shutdown occurs, a message will be

shown, identifying the type of warning or shutdown. The

definitions for the two types of messages are as follows:

WARNING - A specific warning message will be

shown when a warning is present. A warning is a

condition that requires operator acknowledgement

but allows the Unit to continue to run if it is already

running. A Warning message indicates that a

warning setpoint has been reached, or exceeded.

SHUTDOWN - This specific shutdown message will

be shown when a shutdown is present. A shutdown

is a condition that requires an operator to

acknowledge, and causes the Unit to shut down. A

Shutdown message indicates that a shutdown

setpoint has been reached, or exceeded.

To clear a Warning or Shutdown, the operator must

access the

Current Safeties

screen, and acknowledge

the Warnings/Shutdowns by pressing the [Clear

Safeties] button. If the conditions that originally

caused the Warning or Shutdown have not been

corrected, the Warning or Shutdown will continue to

re-occur until the problem has been identified and

corrected.

4. If the conditions causing the warning have not

been corrected or a new fault has occurred, a

new

WARNING

or

SHUTDOWN

message will

appear. The

Safety History

screen keeps a record

of the warnings and shutdowns. This information

will help troubleshoot persistent operational

problems.

Trending Setup

ACCESSING:

DESCRIPTION: This is the Trending Setup screen. Up to eight channels can be monitored in real time trending, and up to

eight channels monitored in history trending.

Real Time Trending - is a method by which the user can

set the Quantum™ LX to map real-time events to a

graphic chart format. Using this feature allows for a live

snap-shot of recent unit process characteristics, such as

temperature, pressure and humidity readings. The events

that occur will scroll across the screen from left to right,

at a speed that is determined by the recording interval.

Real Time trending information is also stored to a log file,

which provides a time/date stamp for each of the selected

channels, as well as the value of the reading for that

channel. This log file can be viewed on the

Real Time Data

Log

screen. Trending data is lost upon power cycle.

The following setpoints are provided:

Real Time Recording Interval – The time interval that

defines how often the real time trending data values

are updated. This value may be set for any time

duration between 1.0 second and 86,400.0 seconds

(24 hours).

History Trending - is a method by which the user can set

the Quantum™ LX to record historical events to a graphic

chart format. This feature is similar to Real Time trending,

except that the data points can be set separately, the rate

at which the graphic chart is updated can be set to a

different rate, and the data is not lost at power cycle.

Using this feature allows for the recording of recent event

characteristics, such as temperature, pressure and

humidity readings. The events that occur will scroll across

the screen, at a speed that is determined by the recording

interval.

History Recording Interval – The time interval that

defines how often the history trending data values are

updated. This value may be set for any time duration

between 1.0 minute and 60.0 minutes (1 hour).

To program this screen with the data you wish to trend,

highlight the Enable Real Time Trend Channel 1 (or

whatever channel you wish to use), by selecting it with

the mouse. Once the box has been selected, a drop down

menu will appear for that channel. On the right hand side

of the drop down box will be an arrow. Selecting the

arrow will to cause all the possible settings for the channel

to appear. Use the mouse to scroll through the list. When

the selection that you want to use appears, click on it to

select it. Once selected, the value for this channel will be

automatically trended and shown on the Real Time

Trending graph (or History Trending Graph), as well as on

the Real Time Trending Data Log (Or History Trending

Data Log).
