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 Condenser/

Vessel system. They will be provided also with the basic in-

formation necessary to login and conﬁ 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 (Interface and Remote)

• Basic installation guidelines are followed.

• Location, polarity and grounding of communica-

tions wiring.

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

• Proper powering up of all panels.

CONFIGURATION

• Verifying communications.

• Calibrating sensors.

• Setting up operating Setpoints.

OPERATION

• Verifying the data being returned to the Inter-

face panel from all remote panels.

• Checking and clearing of alarms.

• Ammonia Conﬁ 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 In-

terface 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 identiﬁ ed by the pres-

ence 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 communica-

tions (to be explained later).

The Interface Panel runs the actual program that

provides the control for the system. Through com-

munications, it monitors the status of each attached

I/O panel, and provides the necessary control instruc-

tions for each panel to perform. Additionally, all set-

points are stored in the Interface Panel.

Status of the system may be monitored form here,

and appropriate 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 Ves-

sel panel can control up to three separate vessels.

CONDENSER/VESSEL SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

As stated before, each complete Condenser/Vessel sys-

tem 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:

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 Con-

denser/Vessel Interface Panel, an Ethernet Hub or Switch,

Condenser/Vessel panels and a computer running a Web

Browser. A simpliﬁ ed example of such a system (with

three Condenser/Vessel systems) is shown here:

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 be-

tween the Operator Interface Panel, and the very

last Remote I/O Panel on any one communica-

tions 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 communica-

tions, 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 communi-

cations 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 ad-

vantageous to keep them accessible for potential

maintenance situations (reasonable lighting, suf-

ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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.

Condenser/Vessel Panel

As with the 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 ﬁ nd 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 ter-

minals, connection may be made to any of

them.

• Proceed to the section entitled Checking the

AC Power.

QUANTUM™ LX CONDENSER/VESSEL CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION 090.560-O (APRIL 13)

Page 11

CHECKING THE AC POWER

Interface Panel

• Ensure that the Control Power switch is in the

OFF position.

• Energize the 120 Volt circuit at its source.

• Using a DVM, measure the voltage at the AC

power terminal strip. Ensure that you read ap-

proximately 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 veriﬁ 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 ﬂ ashing.

• Watch the display on the front of the door. Af-

ter 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 ﬁ 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-en-

ergize the 120 Volt circuit at its source.

• If the panel does not reach to the point of show-

ing 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 override control signals,

by manually energizing components. An example

of one of these modules is shown here:

• Notice in the above pictorial, there is a Red pow-

er 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.

• Energize the 120 Volt circuit at its source.

• Using a DVM, measure the voltage at the AC

power terminals (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 veriﬁ 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 ﬂ ashing, blinking or steadily 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

NOTE: Refer to the section entitled CONDENSER/VESSEL

SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS WIRING DIAGRAM, for addi-

tional information about how the system is conﬁ gured.

Interface Panel

Depending upon the conﬁ 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 Sys-

tem 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

ﬁ nd the Q4/Q5 controller, and a three po-

sition 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 commu-

nications wires. You will be connecting the

external ﬁ eld communications wires to the

other (right) side of these terminals.

• Take the end of the incoming communica-

tions cable, and strip about 2 inches of insu-

lation from the end.

• Clip the shield wire back even with the insu-

lation, and either use heat shrink tubing to

cover the area, or electrical tape. This will

help to ensure that any strands of the shield

that may be exposed don’t come into con-

tact with any live voltage areas of the panel.

• Strip the end of each of the two remaining

conductors back about ¼ of an inch. Gener-

ally 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 po-

sition 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 terminal 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

COMMUNICATIONS WIRING DIAGRAM in

this guide to verify dipswitch settings.

VERIFYING COMMUNICATIONS

The ﬁ rst step in verifying communications is to view what

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

terface Panel. This information will appear on the About

screen, shown here:

Review the information that is shown in the Analog and

Digital Board areas of the screen. Compare what is shown

against what is actually installed.

NOTE: This screen does not update (refresh) auto-

matically. 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

possible analog boards that are allowed (one for Con-

denser 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.

Compare what is displayed here with what is actually in-

stalled in your system. If a board is physically installed in

a panel, yet does not show up on this screen, then ﬁ 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 ﬂ ashing. The RX LED will be ﬂ ashing much faster than

the TX LED, but neither should be off completely, as this

indicates a potential wiring problem.

Start by verifying that the boards within the ﬁ rst panel

in the communications line are correctly being detected.

Then move on to the next panel. If the ﬁ rst panel in the

communications daisy chain shows correctly, but there is

a problem with the second panel, then do nothing with

the wiring up to and including the ﬁ rst panel. Inspect in-

stead 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 incor-

rect, make the correction, and then access the Commu-

nications screen by selecting Conﬁ guration from the Main

Menu, then Conﬁ guration, and ﬁ nally Communications.

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 communications 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 ﬂ ashing normally.

When all installed boards have been detected, then the

basic setup is complete. You can now move on to conﬁ g-

uring the system operating parameters.

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 ﬁ 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 capi-

tal 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 ﬁ rst position.

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

ing 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 satisﬁ 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 de-

sired), press the [Submit] key.

NOTE: If many ﬁ elds need to be renamed, the user

can use a computer keyboard as follows:

Q4 controller - Use a keyboard with a PS2 style

connector and plug it into the socket labeled PL7

of the Q4 board.

Q5 controller - Use a keyboard with a USB style

connector and plug it into one of the two avail-

able USB connectors on the Q5 Interface board.

PANEL CONFIGURATION

Access this screen from the Main Menu. Select Conﬁ gura-

tion > Panel Conﬁ guration. The following screen will ap-

pear:

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

is true for each installed Vessel. The Panel Conﬁ guration

screen also provides the ability to supply a unique name

for each installed Vessel. After moving the cursor to one

of the Name ﬁ 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

numerical keypad. The symbols that appear above each

key on this screen are the possible combinations of sym-

bols that are associated with the digital portion of the key.

CONDENSER CONFIGURATION

Introduction

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

to the Vessel Conﬁ guration. Before the Condenser

system can be effectively put into operation, certain

setup parameters must be performed and veriﬁ ed.

The following listing shows these basic steps:

• Calibrating Sensors - The ﬁ rst of these

steps is to calibrate all installed sensors. A

sensor that is out of calibration will cause

improper and inefﬁ cient operation of the

system.

• Establishing Setpoints - Setpoints need to

be set to deﬁ ne the various ranges that the

system will control within.

• Step Conﬁ guration – This assigns a

sequence of operation 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 cus-

tomized with regard to its speed and

on/off control.

• Control Overrides – Here you are able

to ﬁ ne tune the system by allowing cer-

tain conditions to be delayed from oc-

curring until the system settles.

• Alarms – Alarms and Warnings are inevita-

ble 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 Cali-

bration > Condenser:

The process used for establishing calibration values is

relatively 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 speciﬁ c tem-

perature sensor. If a digital infrared measurement de-

vice 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 stabilize, and then enter

32 into the Current Value box and press [Submit].

This process should be repeated for each sensor in

the system.

Step Control

Condenser Step Control setpoints must be setup.
