Page 4 OPERATION - SERVICE
The AcuAir® Quantum™ LX has the capability of being
modified by the user/owner in order to obtain different
performance characteristics. Any modification to the
standard default settings may have a severe negative
impact on the operation and performance of the
equipment. Any modification to these control settings is
the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Frick®
disclaims any liability for the consequences of these
modifications. It is possible that the modification of these
settings may cause improper operation and performance
that results in property damage, personal injury or death.
It is the responsibility of the user/owner to evaluate and
assess the consequences of their actions prior to
modifying the controls for this unit.
OVERVIEW OF OPERATOR INTERFACE
There are two possible methods of viewing and accessing
the user interface. One of these methods is in the form of
an optional Operator Interface Touch screen, and the
other is in the form of the standard Web Browser.
Web Browser: The Web Browser interface can be
viewed from any Windows® based desktop or laptop
computer, which has access to the network that the
AcuAir® panel is attached to. To change screens,
setpoints, etc., you simply use a mouse and the
keyboard to view and change data.
Touch Screen: This user interface has been
designed to allow an operator to efficiently access and
control the operation of all units from a single access
point. 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:
Keyboard Overlay (Touch screen only)
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 press 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, User
Level 2 must be set. The following items are
setup on the two Control Configuration pages:
Mode Configuration
Control Temperature
Control Source
Cooling
Supply Burner
Heating
Dehumidification
Damper
Exhaust
Supply Fan
Room Pressure
Suction
Pre-Coil Override
Discharge Temperature
Defrost
Defrost Initiation
Air Defrost
Suction Valve
Smoke Detector
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 performed 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.

OPERATING VALUES – USER DEFINED OPERATING STATUS
SCREEN NAME: User Defined.
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 Status 2 screen. In order to set this screen up
to show these three values, the user would highlight the
Enable User Defined Channel 1 (or whatever channel they
wish to use), by selecting it with the mouse. Once the box
is highlighted, click on it to cause the possible settings for
the channel to appear. Use the mouse to scroll through the
list. When the selection that you want to use has been
highlighted, click on it to select it. Once selected, a value
will appear to the right of the list, which corresponds to the
analog value for that channel.
The following selections may be shown on this screen:
Outside Air Temperature
Discharge Air Temperature

SYSTEM STATUS - Trending - Trending Setup
SCREEN NAME: 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

SYSTEM STATUS - MAINTENANCE
SCREEN NAME: Maintenance.
ACCESSING:
DESCRIPTION: Using this screen, the user can view up to eleven (11) pre-programmed maintenance schedules, as well
as eight (8) user definable maintenance schedules. Each of the user defined schedules may be custom named.
The usage of this screen is that the user can assign up to
nineteen different areas of air handler operation that they
would like to schedule routine maintenance for. As an
example, the above screen shows a row labeled as
General Unit Inspection. The next column (Service Every)
on the same row has a value of 168 Hrs. The last column
(Next Scheduled At) of this row has a value of 100 Hrs.
When the air handler is running, this time value is being
clocked. After 100 Hrs. of run time (the value from the
Next Scheduled At column), a message will be generated
and placed on the Event Log screen. This particular
message will read Maintenance – General Unit Inspection.
This is to notify the operator that it is time to inspect the
unit. At this point, the operator should notify the proper
maintenance personnel that the appropriate maintenance
be performed. The user should access the Event Screen
on a regular basis (perhaps once per week) to review the
information provided there.
Once the message has been entered in the Event Log,
the values for the row will be automatically updated, with
new values as predetermined by an internal programmed
maintenance schedule. The values for the Next Scheduled
at column are based upon the Air Handler Run Time hours
(shown at the bottom of this screen).
At the bottom of the left most column is the user defined
Maintenance Required column. This is where custom
names may be entered for the various items that the user
would like to track.
Modifying numerical values
To modify any of the numerical boxes on this screen,
simply use the mouse key to click in one of the boxes.
When the box that you wish to change is highlighted,
you may enter the new value using the keyboard, then
press the [Enter] key to accept the value.
Modifying Text (User Defined) Boxes
To modify any of the text boxes on this screen, simply
use the mouse to click on the box. When the box that
you wish to change is highlighted, use the keyboard to
enter the desired text. Press the [Enter] key to accept
the text. The user may type in a custom name up to
20 characters long.
The following additional information is provided on this
screen:
Run Hours - The value shown here is the total
number of hours that the air handler blower has
actually been in the running state. This value can be
reset (or changed to any value from 0 to 1,000,000
Hours) from the Panel screen.
