OVERVIEW OF OPERATOR INTERFACE
The compressor unit is controlled by a computer based
machine control system. The controller continuously moni-
tors the conditions and operation of the compressor unit
and the various subsystems, it also directs the operation of
components.
The panel user interface has been designed to allow an
operator to efficiently access and control the operation of
the compressor unit and subsystems. The control panel
screen is used to display graphic screens. By pressing a
key on the keypad, the labeled or described function is
recognized by the control processor.
The following information in this manual is presented to
help the operator to interact with the graphic displays and
the Quantum compressor control panel. This manual is in-
tended to describe all presently available features for the
compressors listed in “Compressor Model Differences”.
Reference this section for the differences of the compres-
sor models that will apply to the displayed data and the
setup and setpoint entry. (If applicable) is used throughout
this manual to indicate when something might apply; either,
because of the compressor model (see “Compressor Model
Differences”) or because this feature or option was selected
from a setup.
OPERATOR ACCESS
Operator access to this system is through various screens.
A screen is the physical representation of data on the dis-
play. Icons have been used to help an operator quickly
identify functions. An icon is a small graphic symbol repre-
sentation. Each screen has a title area. The title is descrip-
tive of the screen. The current day, date and time is shown in
this title area. The day of the week, Sunday through Satur-
day (Sun. - Sat.) is displayed. The month of the year from
January to December (Jan. - Dec.) is displayed. The day of
the month from 1 to 31 and the year from 0001 to 9999 are
displayed. The time displayed is the current time in 24
hours (military) format. The hours, minutes and seconds
are displayed. The labeled keys on the panel keypad pro-
vide quick access to the operator’s needs. By pressing a
labeled key on the keypad, the corresponding function is
recognized. Most of the displays have screen keys that de-
scribe or show a function that is recognized when the coin-
ciding keypad key to the right of the screen is pressed. The
screen keys provide access to other screens or commands.
For easier viewing, related information is separated into
boxes. The setup and setpoint entry is separated into logi-
cal control components. Setup selection of features and
options has been provided to prevent the operator from
unnecessary viewing and entering of unused control set-
tings. The required control settings are clearly presented.
To further assist the operator, an on-line help is provided.
Some selections appear faded to indicate that this feature
is unavailable. A feature can be unavailable because of
setup selections such as the compressor model. Some
selections appear faded to indicate that this feature might
be available in a future software release.
