INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

090.040-I02 (AUG 2014)

page 5

The main power wiring to the 

QUANTUM

HD

 panel (line and 

neutral) must be 10 AWG. A separate ground wire is also 
required for each 

QUANTUM

HD

 panel and must also be at 

least a number 10 insulated copper wire.

16. 

Connect the remaining control wires between the starter 

and the control panel, as shown on the drawings that come 
with the 

QUANTUM

HD

 and or the compressor motor starter 

diagrams and the panel wiring diagrams. These control wires 
are typically:

A.

 Compressor start 

(18)

B.

  Compressor auxiliary 

(20)

C.

 Current transformer 

(3 & 4)

D.

 Oil pump start (if required) 

(8)

E.

  Oil pump auxiliary (if required) 

(19)

17.

 Connect the remaining package control wires, including 

options, to the control panel, as shown on the panel wiring 
diagrams provided with the 

QUANTUM

HD

 for Vilter

®

 retrofit.

18. 

Before  applying  power  to  the 

QUANTUM

HD

  control 

panel, make the following checks:

A.

 Check each terminal for loose connections or damage 

to the circuit boards or cables.

B.

  Check for wire clippings or metal drill filings on the 

circuit board or in the panel. Clean the 

QUANTUM

HD

 

control panel thoroughly before applying the control 
power.

19. 

Make  sure  that  the  circuit  breakers  (CB1  and  CB2)  in 

the 

QUANTUM

HD 

control panel are in the "OFF" position. 

Engage the electrical disconnect at the compressor starter.

20. 

Using a DIGITAL VOLTMETER, verify the AC line voltage in 

the 

QUANTUM

HD

 control panel. The AC line voltage should 

be between 100 VAC and 125 VAC or 185 VAC to 254 VAC.

21. 

Check for AC volts (in millivolts) between AC neutral (2) 

and AC ground (GND). If the millivolt reading is greater than 
500  millivolts,  pull  the  electrical  disconnect  at  the  motor 
starter and reverify ground and neutral circuits.

22. 

If all is ok, turn circuit breakers CB1 and CB2 to the "ON" 

position.

23. pOWER SUppLY CALIBRATION
QUANTUM™ - There are three separate power supplies 
in the 

QUANTUM™ HD

, and are designated from left to 

right as +5 VDC, +12 VDC and +24VDC.

120 or 240 VAC

Each power supply (5, 12, & 24 vdc) is labeled with the part 
number and acceptable voltage output range.
The voltages for the 5, 12, & 24 vdc supplies are as follows:

•  5 vdc range  =  5.10 - 5.20 vdc
•  12 vdc range  =  12.10 - 12.20 vdc
•  24 vdc range  =  24.2 -24.5 vdc

The power supplies accept both 120 or 220 VAC
(input range = 100 - 240 VAC)

24. 

At  this  point,  the  operating  display  on  the  controller 

should be seen.
Log in to the controller using a default login code. The default 
login codes for all access levels can be changed as part of 
the configuration process.

Refer to the Operation manual (090.040-O) to ensure that 

all setpoints have been properly entered. The main configu-
ration items for the Vilter

 single screw are Package Type, 

Package Duty, Oil Pump Type, Refrigerant and Drive Type.
Go to Menu > Configuration > Package to select Package 
Type, Package Duty, Refrigerant and Drive Type.
Select the Oil Pump/Lubrication tab to select the oil pump 
type. The default oil pump selection is Full Time. If the pump 
operation is part time or on demand, select Demand. When 
Demand  is  selected,  additional  setpoints  used  to  run  the 
Vilter

 lubrication logic are added to that page. While these 

are adjustable it should not be necessary to do so.

26. 

Before calibrating the analog devices (sensors), check the 

configuration of all utilized analog devices to ensure they are 
configured correctly with regard to sensor output and sensor 
range. The analog board in the 

QUANTUM

HD

 provides 24 

vdc excitation for the sensors.
Sensor default configuration is as follows for the following 
sensors. Any additional sensors will also need checked for 
proper configuration.
