Frick by Johnson Controls builds numerous cooling, refrigeration, air handling and gas extraction products and control
packages, which include the following:
• Compressors (for refrigeration/cooling or natural gas
extraction)
• Evaporators
• Condensers & Vessels
• Hygienic air units (AcuAir)
The individual Frick packages mentioned above are controlled
by a computer based machine control system, known as the
Quantum™ control panel. The controller continuously monitors the conditions and operation of its attached package and
its various subsystems. It also directs the operation of its individual components. It is fully self-contained.
A user interface is used to display graphic screens, which represent various aspects of unit operation. The labeled or described function is recognized by the control processor, and
appropriate action is taken.
Although the primary means of operator interaction to each
package is via the built-in Quantum™ LX/HD control panel, an
additional method has been created to allow multiple packages
to be accessed and controlled from a single access point. This
device is known as the System Interface Panel, or SIP.
Two versions of the Quantum™ control panel are compatible
with the System Interface Panel; the Quantum™ LX and the
Quantum™ HD.
Typical Compressor Package
The following information is presented to help the user to connect and interact with the SIP.
INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM INTERFACE PANEL
General Description
The primary function of the System Interface Panel (SIP)
is to allow a common access point for networking multiple
Frick Quantum™ LX and/or HD panels together, for the
purpose of monitoring and control.
This System Interface Panel (SIP) has been designed to
allow an operator to effi ciently access, control and moni-
tor the operation of all confi gured Quantum™ LX and HD
packages from a single access point, when all units are
connected through a common Ethernet network. The
touch screen control panel is used for intuitive navigation.
The screen display and function is based on web browser
technology, and will closely resemble the look of typical
internet web browser. NOTE: If using a web browser, it
is advisable to use Google Chrome, rather than Internet
Explorer.
The supplied hardware platform consists of a 15 inch (measured diagonally) color resistive touchscreen, and the Q5
microprocessor packaged in a Nema-4 steel enclosure. It is
recommended that a properly confi gured multi-port Ethernet
switch be utilized for the purpose of connecting all desired LX
and HD panels.

BASIC SIP CONNECTIONS
The Frick SIP may be connected directly to a single Quan-
tum™ LX or HD panel for a minimum system confi guration, or
it may be connected to an existing Ethernet network.
Connecting the SIP to an existing Quantum™ LX or HD control panel is accomplished by routing a recommended CAT-5
Ethernet cable to each of the panels that you wish to include
in your network (the recommended cables and parts may be
found in any of the Quantum™ LX or HD communications
manuals).
For a Single Panel (Minimum Confi guration) – Only one
CAT-5 cable will need to be run from the panel, and it may
plug directly into the SIP.
Crossover Cable
SIP
Note: Most pre-made, store-bought Ethernet cables
are the straight pin-to-pin variety, and work in most
confi gurations. However, if you want to connect two
Ethernet devices directly together, in this case one
SIP to one Quantum™ LX or HD panel, you will need
to use a crossover Cat-5 cable. Refer to the following
pictorial to construct a crossover cable:
Quantum™ LX or HD
For multiple Panels - Each cable should be routed back
from the Quantum™ LX or HD panel to a common area,
where the ends can be plugged into a switch. The switch
will then have a single cable that connects to the SIP (and
to an optional existing Ethernet network).

NOTE: All Quantum™ HD panels utilize the Q5 processor
board, however, the Quantum™ LX panel may have either a Q4
or Q5 controller. Refer to the photos in this section to identify
which control board is in each of the panels that you propose
to confi gure for SIP usage.
For a Quantum™ LX with a Q4 processor:
The Ethernet connector for the LX Q4 panel can be found
by opening the control panel door, and locating the Q4
controller, as shown here:
For a Quantum™ LX or HD with a Q5 processor:
The Ethernet connector for the Q5 panel can be found by
opening the control panel door, and locating the Q5 controller, as shown here:

Plug one end of the cable into the port as labeled. Route
the cable out of the box, and to the point at which it will
either tie into a switch (for multiple connections), or directly to the SIP in the event of a single panel network.
On the SIP Side
Open the panel door of the SIP, and look at the inside of
the door. The location of the Ethernet connection within
the SIP is the same location as shown above for the Q5
processor.

CALIBRATING THE SIP
Touch Screen Calibration
As the SIP comes from the factory, calibration has already
been performed, and as such, should not be needed. However, it is possible that from time to time, re-calibration
may be warranted. If the cursor does not move to your
fi nger when you touch the screen, then the touch screen
should be re-calibrated.
There are two methods by which the screen may be calibrated. One is to perform a power cycle, the other is to
access the screen calibration button (this second method
will be described in the Confi guration Page section, de-
scribed later).
To perform a power cycle:
1. Turn the Control Power switch to off.
2. Wait several seconds, then turn the Control
Power switch back on.
3. The display will show a series of boot screens,
then the HD logo will appear. Following the HD
logo screen, a prompt will appear for 5 seconds,
allowing access to the Screen Calibration feature:
4. Pressing anywhere on the screen within the fi ve
second countdown will cause the screen to show
the following image in the upper left corner:
5. Notice that the symbol collapses and expands.
Try to touch the red dot within the circle as
closely as possible. When the screen senses your
touch, the symbol will move to its next calibration point. Continue to touch the red dot at each
new location.
6. After the last calibration point has been touched,
the screen is now calibrated, and will either return to the Confi guration screen (if this is where
the calibration was initiated from, or it will fi nish
the boot process if calibration was initiated during power cycle.
NOTE: If, for any reason, after completing the calibration,
the cursor still does not appear where it should be, the
calibration will need to be repeated.
Proper calibration is very important to effi cient screen opera-
tion, especially when utilizing the on-screen keyboard. If the
touch screen is out of a calibration, it can mean that the area
being touched is actually being applied somewhere else, which
can translate into the wrong button keyboard button being
sensed, or the wrong setpoint area detected.
