INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before proceeding, read the instructions for "Proper 

Installation of Electronic Equipment in an Industrial Envi-

ronment" on page 7.

1.

 Push

 [STOP] 

key to shut  down the unit. Open the 

disconnect switch for the compressor motor starter 

and (if applicable) oil pump motor starter.

2.

  Close  the  discharge,  and  liquid  injec tion  (if  applicable) 

service valves.

3. SLOWLY

 vent the separator to low-side system pres sure 

using the suction check valve bypass. Close suction valve 

and suction check valve bypass.  

NOTE: Recover or transfer 

all refrigerant vapor in accordance with local ordinances 

before opening to atmosphere. 

The separator 

MUST

 be 

equalized to atmospheric pressure.

Oil-entrained  refrigerant  may  va-

porize, causing a separator pressure 

increase. Repeat venting and recov-

ery procedure if neces sary.

4. 

Drain  the  oil  from  the  oil  separator  if  an  oil  separator 

temperature probe well is to be installed.

5.

 Remove the existing panel from the compressor package. 

DO NOT CUT WIRES OR TUBING LINES. 

They will be used 

to connect to the new panel.

6.

  If  converting  from  an  RWB  II  to  a 

QUANTUM

LX/HD

remove the front panel assembly. Remove wires on the I/O 

board which run from the micro enclosure to the junction 

box. Remove the analog wires from the FRK-1 board. Remove 

ground, +5VDC, ±12VDC and +24VDC from the FRK-1, SBC 

and I/O boards. Be sure all of the above wires are labeled 

because all except ±12VDC and +24VDC will be connected 

to the 

QUANTUM

LX/HD

.

7. 

Remove  existing  thermometers,  temperature  switches 

and pressure switches (if applicable) from the compressor 

package.

8. 

Mount  the 

QUANTUM

LX/HD

  panel  on  the  compressor 

package by bolting the panel to the existing panel mounting 

structure. It may be necessary to weld new panel mounting 

brackets  to  the  screw  compressor  package  to  accommo-

date the proper panel height. If so, 

DO NOT WELD TO THE 

PRESSURE VESSEL. 

Weld only to existing mounts or other 

structural material. 

DO NOT WELD WITH THE CONTROL 

PANEL IN PLACE.

 Welding currents can cause damage to 

the electronic components. Refer to the PANEL MOUNTING 

HEIGHT diagram below.

9. 

Install the temperature probe wells at the locations indi-

cated on the TRANSDUCER CONNECTION DIAGRAM. Existing 

connections may require reducers to fit the new temperature 

wells. Some of the required locations may not have a con-

nection available and will require cutting a hole and welding 

in a connection for the temperature well. Seal all threaded 

connections to prevent leaks.

10. 

Place silicone heat transfer compound on the tip of the 

temperature probes and install them in the temperature wells.

11. 

Run  separate  electrical  conduit  between  the  control 

panel and the temperature probe electrical boxes. 

DO NOT 

RUN THE TEMPERATURE PROBE WIRING WITH THE AC 

CONTROL WIRING.

12. 

The wiring between the control panel and the tempera-

ture probes must be shielded twisted-pair wire. Belden part 

number 8761 or equivalent is recommended.

13. 

Refer to the panel wiring diagrams in the S70-200 IOM 

and connect the white wire of the twisted pair to the nonblack 

temperature probe wire. The temperature probe wire colors 

may vary on this wire. Connect the black wire of the twisted 

pair to the temperature probe black wire. Cut off the shield 

wire on the temperature probe end and place tape or heat 

shrink tubing around the exposed shield so that it will not 

come in contact with the electrical box.

14. 

Connect the shield wire of the twisted pair to the control 

panel ground block in the control panel.

15. 

Connect the white and black twisted-pair wires to the 

microprocessor board, as shown on the panel wiring dia-

grams in the IOM.

16. 

Install stainless steel tubing from the points indicated in 

the TRANSDUCER CONNECTION DIAGRAM to the pressure 

transducer pressure block located behind the control panel. 

Properly brace all pressure lines so that excessive vibration 

will  not  cause  transducer  error. 

DO  NOT  PLACE  VALVES 

BETWEEN DISCHARGE OR OIL LINES AND THE PRESSURE 

TRANSDUCER.

17. 

Refer to the panel wiring diagrams in the Maintenance 

manual  (090.020-M  or  090.040-M)  and  connect  the  red, 

black, and white wires of the pressure transducers to the 

QUANTUM

LX /HD

 analog board. The shield of the transducer 

cable is grounded inside the transducer and should not be 

grounded inside the cabinet.

18. 

Determine if there is a slide valve potentiometer on the 

slide valve indicator assembly. If a potentiometer is provided, 

it should be 1,000 OHMS single turn or 10,000 OHMS ten 

turn  with  a  calibration  resistor.  If  a  potentiometer  is  not 

provided, contact Frick for ordering proper potentiometer 

and drive assembly.

19. 

Run separate electrical conduit between the control panel 

and the slide valve indicator assembly. 

DO NOT RUN SLIDE 

VALVE WIRING WITH AC CONTROL WIRING.

20. 

The wiring between the control panel and the slide valve 

indicator must be shielded twisted-three wire. Belden part 

number 8770 or equivalent is recommended.
