S90-512 O (JUL 2006) FRICK® QUANTUM™ LX AcuAir®CONTROL PANEL

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.

Page 6 OPERATION - SERVICE

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:

• Temperature

• Cooling

• Burner Supply

• Heating

• Dehumidification

• Cooling

• Desiccant Wheel

• Wheel / Regen Fan

• Regen Burner

• Supply Air Flow

• Defrost

• Defrost Setpoints

• Defrost Schedule

• Scheduling

• PID Setup

• Page 1

• Page 2

• Communications

• Auxiliaries

• Analog Inputs

• Page 1

• Page 2

• Digital Inputs

• Digital Outputs

• Panel

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

• Room Air Temperature

• Return Air Temperature

• Pre-Coil Air Temperature

• Coil Air Temperature

• Room Air Humidity

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

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

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

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.
