Page 4 OPERATION

OVERVIEW OF OPERATOR INTERFACE

The zone controllers are setup and monitored by a

computer based machine control system. The controller

continuously monitors the conditions and operation of

connected zone controllers and directs their operation.

The panel user interface has been designed to allow an

operator to efficiently access and control the operation of

the zones. The control panel screen is used for graphic

screens. By pressing a key on the keypad, the labeled or

described function is recognized by the control processor.

The following information in this manual is presented to

help the operator interact with the graphic screens and the

Quantum™ evaporator control panel. This manual is

intended to describe all presently available features.

OPERATOR ACCESS

Operator access to this system is through various screens.

A screen is the physical representation of data on the

screen. 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. The labeled keys on

the panel keypad provide quick access to the operator's

needs. By pressing a labeled key on the keypad, the

corresponding function is recognized. Most of the screens

have keys that describe or show a function that is

recognized when the coinciding key found at the right of

the screen is pressed. The screen keys provide access to

other screens or commands. For easier viewing, related

information is separated into boxes. The setup and

setpoint entry is separated into logical control

components. Setup selection of features and options has

been provided to prevent the operator from unnecessary

viewing and entering of unused control settings. The

required control settings are clearly presented. To further

assist the operator, an on-line help is provided.

Sometimes selections appear differently to indicate that

the feature is unavailable.

valve is not a modulating valve, it is open

during cooling. During cooling, a modulating

valve regulates the suction valve based on

its setpoints.

· Satisfied - The zone is in a temperature

control mode and the liquid valve is closed

because the control temperature is less than

or equals the liquid off setpoint. During this

time, the suction valve is open.

· Defrost – The zone is using defrost control

setpoints.

· Heating - The zone is using heating control

setpoints.

· Mode - One of the following messages is shown:

· Off – The zone is disabled from being

controlled. All valve station solenoids as well

as fan motor starter(s) are de-energized.

· Mode 1 - The zone was sent a command to

use the Mode 1 setpoints for control.

· Mode 2 - The zone was sent a command to

use the Mode 2 setpoints for control.

· Mode 3 - The zone was sent a command to

use the Mode 3 setpoints for control.

· Auto – Mode 1 - The zone is being

controlled using the Mode 1 setpoints that

are presently activated by the “Time

Schedule”.

· Auto - Mode 2 - The zone is being

controlled using the Mode 2 setpoints that

are presently activated by the “Time

Schedule”.

· Auto - Mode 3 - The zone is being

controlled using the Mode 3 setpoints that

are presently activated by the “Time

· Auto - Off - The zone is off because it was

entered into the “Time Schedule” for this

time of this day.

· Defrost – The zone is being

controlled using the Defrost setpoints.

· Refrigeration Counter - This message shows

the length of time in minutes that the liquid valve

has been opened (cooling) since the last defrost.

The counter is reset during defrost. If liquid

override is enabled and defrost has been

scheduled, then defrost will only initiate when the

refrigeration counter is greater than the counter

setpoint. The counter can help indicate if enough

ice has built up to benefit from defrost.

on the “Alarms/Shutdowns History” screen. The

data is saved, even if there is a power outage.

To resume normal operation it will be necessary to go

through the following steps:

1. Correct the conditions causing the alarm.

2. To clear or reset the “Alarms/Shutdowns” screen

and turn off any alarm annunciation device, from

the screen press the [Clear Alarms] key. This

will also clear the “ALARM” or “SHUTDOWN”

message from the “Operating Status” screen.

3. If the conditions causing the alarm have not been

corrected or a new fault has occurred, a new

“ALARM” or “SHUTDOWN” message will appear.

The Alarms/Shutdowns history screen keeps a

record of the alarms and shutdowns. This

information will help troubleshoot persistent

operational problems.

Refer to the “Alarms/Shutdowns Message” section for a

list of all the possible alarms.

MAIN MENU SELECTION -

“CONTROL SETUP” SCREEN

This screen is accessible from the main menu screen.

From this screen, the operator can access the screens

that are used to setup the temperature, and defrost control

setpoints along with scheduling the time of day to use

these controls for this zone. After responding [OK] to

changing these control setpoints, they are written to the

evaporator board’s EPROM and read back from there to

be re-displayed. EPROM memory is non-volatile and all

information is retained even if the power to the panel is

lost. This process is used to confirm that an evaporator

control board properly receives control setpoint changes.

The following are the “Control Setup” screen selections:

· [Temperature Setpoints]

· [Mode 1]

· [Mode 2]

· [Mode 3]

· [Time Schedule]

· [Defrost Schedule]

· [Defrost Setpoints]

· [Heating Setpoints]

· [Safety Setpoints] – (enhanced unit only)

CONTROL SETUP -

“TEMPERATURE SETPOINT” SCREENS

Temperature settings are used to control temperature.

Three separate groups of setpoints (modes) can be used

to control one zone’s temperature. A time schedule is

used to select which mode to use at what time of day.

Lower or higher temperature settings can be setup in the

different modes. Higher temperature setpoints can be

used to reduce energy consumption. When the plant is

unused or used much less such as at night or on

weekends, less energy is lost in refrigerated rooms from

door openings, so higher temperature settings can be

used.

The following is a list of the temperature setpoint screens:

· Mode 1

· Mode 2

· Mode 3

Below is an example of a temperature setpoint screen:

CONTROL SETUP - TEMPERATURE SETPOINTS

– “MODE 1 SETPOINTS” SCREEN

Below are the temperature setpoints:

Basic Unit Setpoints

· Liquid On - If the control temperature equals or

exceeds this setpoint, the output for the liquid valve

will be energized or turned on to open a liquid valve

and therefore provide cooling.

· Liquid Off - If the control temperature is less than or

equal to this setpoint, the output for the liquid valve

will be de-energized or turned off to close a liquid

valve and therefore prevent further cooling.

· Heat On - If the control temperature is less than or

equal to this setpoint, control switches to using the

heating setpoints. For further information, reference

the Control Setup – “Heating Setpoints” screen.

· Heat Off - If the control temperature equals or

exceeds this setpoint after completing the “Pre-Heat”

stage of heating, control stops the heating and

proceeds to the “Post-Heat” stage of heating so as to

properly exit from heating. For further information,

reference the Control Setup – “Heating Setpoints”

screen.

· High Temperature Alarm - If the control temperature

is greater than or equal to this setpoint, for its time

delay, an alarm occurs.

· High Temperature Alarm Time Delay - The time in

minutes that the control temperature must remain

greater than or equal to the low temperature alarm

setpoint before notification of the alarm.

· Low Temperature Alarm - If the control temperature

is less than or equal to this setpoint, for its time delay,

an alarm occurs.

· Low Temperature Alarm Time Delay - The time in

minutes that the control temperature must remain less

than or equal to the low temperature alarm setpoint

before notification of the alarm.

· Delay between Modes - When starting to use the

setpoints of another mode, this is the time in minutes

that must elapse before evaluation and notification of

alarms.

Single Speed Fan Control Settings:

· On - If the control temperature reading equals or

exceeds this setpoint, the fan high-speed output

will be energized or turned on to run the fan.

· Off - If the control temperature is less than or

equal to this setpoint, the fan high-speed output

will be de-energized or turned off to stop the fan.

Variable Speed Fan Control Settings:

· On - If the control temperature reading equals or

exceeds this setpoint, the fan high-speed output

will be energized or turned on to run the fan.

· Off - If the control temperature is less than or

equal to this setpoint, the fan high-speed output

will be de-energized or turned off to stop the fan.

· Setpoint - The difference between this

temperature setpoint and the control temperature

reading is compared to the “deadband” setpoint.

If the difference is within the deadband, no

change is made to the analog signal affecting the

fan speed. If the control temperature reading is

higher than this setpoint and the difference

exceeds the deadband, then the difference is

multiplied by the “rate of change” setpoint and

the analog signal is increased by this amount to

increase the fan speed. If the control temperature

reading is lower than this setpoint, then the

analog signal is decreased by this amount to

reduce the fan speed.

· Deadband - The difference of the temperature

setpoint and the control temperature reading

must exceed this temperature span before

changing the fan speed.

· Rate of Change - This is the percent that is

multiplied to the difference of the temperature

setpoint and the control temperature reading

when this difference exceeds the deadband. If

the control temperature reading is higher than

this setpoint, then the analog signal to the fan is

increased by the result to further increase the fan

speed. If the control temperature reading is lower

than this setpoint, then the analog signal is

decreased by this result to further reduce the fan

speed.

· Delay - This is the minimum time in seconds to

delay before re-evaluating if the difference

between the temperature setpoint and the control

temperature reading exceeds the deadband

setting.

· Min (Minimum) - This is the minimum percent of

the analog signal that is sent to affect the fan

speed when the “On” setpoint is first reached and

the fan is turned on.

Fan Cycling settings:

· Time On – When the fan is turned on it will

remain turned on for this number of minutes.

· Time Off – When the fan is turned off it will

remain turned off for this number of minutes.

Enhanced Unit Setpoints

· Humidity Control On - If the humidity reading is

less than or equal to this setpoint, the humidity

output will be energized or turned on.

· Humidity Control Off - If the humidity reading

equals or exceeds this setpoint, the humidity

output will be de-energized or turned off.

Two-Speed Fan Control settings:

· Temperature On - If the control temperature

reading equals or exceeds this setpoint, the fan

low speed output will be energized or turned on

to run the fan at low speed.

· Temperature Off - If the control temperature is

less than or equal to this setpoint, the fan low

speed output will be de-energized or turned off to

stop the fan.

· Low - High temperature - If the control

temperature reading equals or exceeds this

setpoint, the fan low speed output will be de-

energized or turned off and the fan high speed

output will be energized or turned on to run the

fan at high speed.

· High - Low temperature - If the control

temperature is less than or equal to this setpoint,

the fan high speed output will be de-energized or

turned off and the fan low speed output will be

energized or turned on to run the fan at low

speed.

· High – Low Delay – The amount of time in

minutes to delay before starting the low-speed

fan after the high-speed fan has been stopped.

This time is intended to be the time it takes for

the high-speed fan to slow down and eventually

stop.

Two-Step Fan Control settings:

· Temperature On - If the control temperature

reading equals or exceeds this setpoint, the fan

step 1 output will be energized or turned on to

run the step 1 fan or fans.

· Temperature Off - If the control temperature is

less than or equal to this setpoint, the fan step 1

output will be de-energized or turned off to stop

all fans.

· Step 2 On - If the control temperature reading

equals or exceeds this setpoint, the fan step 2

output will be energized or turned on to run the

step 2 fan or fans.

· Step 2 Off - If the control temperature is less

than or equal to this setpoint, the fan step 2

output will be de-energized or turned off to stop

the step 2 fan or fans.

Modulating Valve:

Note: The suction valve must be direct for this

control.

· On – If the control temperature reading equals or

exceeds this setpoint, the suction valve output

will be energized to open the valve.

· Off – If the control temperature reading is less

than this setpoint, the suction valve output will be

de-energized to close the valve.

· Setpoint – The difference between this

temperature setpoint and the control temperature

reading is compared to the “deadband” setpoint.

If the difference is within the deadband, no

change is made to the analog signal of the

modulating valve. If the difference exceeds the

deadband, then the difference is multiplied by the

“rate of change” setpoint and the analog signal is

increased by this amount to further open the

suction valve if the control temperature reading is

higher than this setpoint. The analog signal is

decreased by this amount to further close the

suction valve if the control temperature reading is

lower than this setpoint.

· Deadband – The number of degrees in

temperature that the difference of the

temperature setpoint and the control temperature

reading must exceed to change the analog signal

to the suction valve.

· Rate of Change – This is the percent that is

multiplied to the difference of the temperature

setpoint and the control temperature reading

when this difference exceeds the deadband. If

the control temperature reading is higher than

this setpoint, then the analog signal to the

modulating valve is increased by the result to

further open the suction valve. If the control

temperature reading is lower than this setpoint,

then the analog signal is decreased by this result

to further close the suction valve.

· Min (Minimum) – This is the minimum percent of

the analog signal that is sent to the modulating

valve when the “On” setpoint is first reached and

the suction valve has opened.

· Delay – This is the minimum time in seconds to

delay before re-evaluating if the difference

between the temperature setpoint and the control

temperature reading exceeds the deadband

setting.

Temperature control is used to maintain a temperature.

The liquid valve is open to provide cooling. The suction

valve is also open during temperature control. Fan cycling

based on temperature can aid in energy savings. If the

temperature falls below the “Fan Off” setpoint the fans will

cycle off by de-energizing the proper output. There are

two setpoints that allow the operator to turn on and off the

fans for a period of time to provide for air movement while

the fans are cycled off. If the operator selects fan cycling

and the fans are cycled off, the fans will remain off for the

entered number of “Off” minutes. After the fans are off for

the entered amount of minutes and the air temperature is

still below the “Fan Off” setpoint, the fans will be

energized for the “On” number of minutes. This on/off

cycling continues until the temperature rises above the

“Fan On” set point in which the fans start and continue to

run.

CONTROL SETUP -

“TIME SCHEDULE” SCREEN

This screen shows a time schedule. The “Time Schedule”

is a schedule of what time of day to start controlling the

temperature of the zone by using either Mode 1, 2, or 3

control setpoints or turning off control. The modes can be

used to maintain different temperatures. One mode could

be used to save energy. For example, at night or on

weekends, when room doors are kept closed, a higher

temperature can be set to reduce energy consumption.

The “Time Schedule” is used to select which set of control

setpoints (mode) to use based on the time of day. Each

unit can have up to four different start times scheduled per

day that can vary each day of the week. An entry of “-” will

void the time entry field. The “Time Schedule” is only used

if the zone is in automatic mode. The time schedule is

used to switch the active control mode to another mode at

a start time.

The following is a description of the setpoints:

· Start – The time of day to switch to another

mode of control. The time of day is represented

using a 24-hour clock, i.e. 00:00 is midnight and

23:59 is a minute before midnight

· Mode - Three separate groups of setpoints

(modes) can be used to control one zone’s

temperature. The following modes can be

selected.

· Mode 1

· Mode 2

· Mode 3

· Off

CONTROL SETUP -

“DEFROST SCHEDULE” SCREEN

The “Defrost Schedule” is a schedule of what time of day

to start defrosting the zone. The time of day is

represented using a 24-hour clock, i.e. 00:00 is midnight

and 23:59 is a minute before midnight. Each unit can have

up to eight defrosts scheduled per day that can vary each

day of the week. An entry of “-” will void the time entry

field. If liquid override is enabled, these times are also

dependent on a “Liquid counter” setpoint. The liquid

counter counts a cumulative time that the liquid solenoid

output is open between defrosts. When the panel reaches

a time in the Defrost Schedule and the liquid counter

exceeds the “Liquid counter” setpoint, then the unit goes

into it’s defrost mode. If the counter has not exceeded the

“Liquid counter” setpoint, no defrost is initialized. There is

a possibility for five defrost steps. The length of time for

each step is adjustable on the “Defrost Setpoints” screen.
