QUANTUM™ 3 MAIN BOARD HISTORY
AND IDENTIFICATION
The processor board shown on this page is known as the
Quantum™ 3 and has been in production since January
2000. Frick
®
Company developed this board as the
successor to the Quantum™ 1 & 2 and it is based on the
Pentium microprocessor platform.
The Quantum™ 3 board can be identified by the presence
of a piggy-backed daughter board mounted to the main
board. This
daughter board
can be easily identified by the
presence of a large black heat sink mounted on the main
processor chip. There are also a number of jumpers (or
links) present on this smaller board. It is NOT advised to
modify these jumpers.
The main board (communications board) has a 2-digit LED
display (which during normal operation, will display a
constantly changing pattern of values), an 8 position DIP
switch pack on the main board, and a number of jumpers
(or links). The links on this main board MAY need to be
modified by factory qualified personnel to configure the
Quantum™ for specific applications. Refer to the next
page for more details on the settings of these
Links
.
Unlike the Quantum™ 1 & 2, which utilized EPROMS for
the Operating Software, the Quantum™ 3 utilizes Flash
Card technology. There is a Flash Card socket located on
this main board. The Operating System has been pre-
loaded at the factory, so this Flash Card feature will
primarily be utilized for future program updates.
When calling Frick
®
Company for service or help, it will
greatly assist us if the type of board is known, either
Quantum™ 1, 2 , 3 or 4 (Quantum™ 1 & 2 is described in
the Communications Manual S90-010 CS Version 3.5x/4.0
and previous versions). Additionally, Frick
®
will request the
Sales Order number, and the Operating System version
number (this can be found on the Menu
About…
screen).
The more information you have at the time of the call, the
better able we will be to assist you.
The information that follows will primarily describe the
jumper configuration for communications settings, as well
as wiring diagrams for the different types of
communications that are possible with the Quantum™ 3.
