CALIBRATION OF TEMpERATURE & 

pRESSURE SENSORS

1. 

Locate the associated temperature probe on the compres-

sor package and pull the temperature probe from the well. 
Place the temperature probe in a concentrated ice water bath 
(80:20 ice to water) along with a quality test thermometer 
or sensor.

2. 

Wait  for  approximately  two  minutes  and  compare  the 

thermometer reading with the temperature probe reading. 
Enter in the correction for temperature, if required.

3.

 Step to the next temperature to be calibrated, locate the 

associated  temperature  probe  on  the  unit  and  repeat  the 
calibration process.

4. 

After the temperature probe calibration is complete, re-

insert the temperature probes into the wells.

5.

 Open the suction and discharge stop valves. If applicable, 

open the side load stop valve, the economizer stop valve, 
and the liquid injection stop valve.

6. CHECK FOR LEAKS!
7. 

To calibrate the pressure transducers, a quality test gauge 

is required. Go to the Pressure Calibration display and step 
to the suction pressure setting.

8.

 If available, attach the test gauge to the suction pressure 

service valve. Read the pressure on the test gauge and com-
pare this reading to the displayed value. Adjust the displayed 
value, if necessary.

9. 

Step to the discharge pressure setting on the Pressure 

Calibration display.

10.

 Repeat the calibration procedure using the value from 

the gauge.

11. 

Step to the oil pressure setting on the Pressure Calibra-

tion display.

12.

 Repeat the calibration procedure using the value from 

the gauge.

13.

 Step to the pre-oil filter pressure setting on the Pressure 

Calibration display.

CALIBRATION OF CApACITY & VOLUME SLIDES

Go to Menu > Calibration > Capacity / Volume
Once on this screen you can attach the power and signal 
cables at the optical actuators for the capacity and volume 
slides.
The  optical  actuators  used  for  capacity  and  volume  slide 
positioning provide a 0-5vdc (0-5000mvdc) signal over the 
range of travel for these slides back to the 

QUANTUM

HD

  

analog board #1 channels 14 & 15 respectively.
The  rotation  of  the  command  shaft  is  critical  for  proper 
operation of loading and unloading for capacity control or 
increasing and decreasing for volume control. The correct 
command shaft rotation for the capacity and volume slides 
by compressor model number is as follows:

To check proper command shaft rotation for the capacity and 
volume actuators go to the calibration page for Capacity and 
volume. See Figure below.
Press  the  load  or  unload  capacity  button  for  the  capacity 
slide  to  check  rotation.  If  rotation  is  incorrect  switch  the 
brown and blue wire for load and unload at the digital board. 
Use  the  increase  or  decrease  volume  button  for  the  vol-
ume slide to check rotation. If rotation is incorrect switch 
the brown and blue wire for increase and decrease at the 
digital board. 
Once the rotation of the command shafts is confirmed to be 
correct, you can calibrate the capacity and volume slides.
