COMMUNICATIONS WIRING SETUP
1. Ensure that both the Quantum and DBS are powered
OFF.
2. Configure the DBS Dip Swicth (SW4). See pictorial
drawing 1 for location of this switch:
Switch position 1 set to the right
Switch position 2 set to the left
Switch position 3 set to the left
Switch position 4 - 8 are customer
configured and have no effect on
communications
3. Using the RAM DBS PICTORIAL drawing on page
4, route the communications cable (Frick P/N
640D0116H42) between the Quantum Control and
DBS Starter board. When running this cable, ensure
that the following information is obeyed:
Route the cable so that the end with three
wires starts at the Quantum end, and the
end with two wires is directed towards the
DBS.
The communications cable is recommended
to be run within its own separate conduit.
Keep the Communications cable away from
any high voltage wiring.
Do not run the communications parallel to
any AC wiring.
4. Locate Analog Board 1. All of the Digital and Analog
boards have white 16 pin connectors on them. The
digital boards end of the board), the Analog boards
have just one connector. Look at P9 of the Analog
board (s) and determine which of them has only one
row of blue wires attached to this plug, this will be
connector P11, and is where the wiring of the
following steps will be inserted into.
5. The Red wire of the cable will attach to terminal
position #1 (TR+) of the DBS, the other end will
attach to position #6 (+) of the plug (P11) which is
inserted into P9 on the Analog 1 Board.
6. The Black wire of the cable will attach to terminal
position #2 (TR-) of the DBS, the other end will attach
to position #5 (-) of the plug (P11) which is inserted
into P9 on the Analog 1 Board.
7. If the overall length of this cable is not sufficent to
reach between the Quantum and the DBS, it will be
necessary to splice the additional length in. If a splice
is required, ensure that it is mechanically as well as
electrically correct, and that it meets all local and
national electrical codes.
8. Refer to the RAM DBS PICTORIAL at the end of
this document for further infromation.
9. Power ON the DBS and then the Quantum.
10. You will now need to set the Quantum up to
recognize the DBS Starter. When the Quantum
HOME Display appears:
Press the [MENU] screen key.
Press the [FACTORY SETUP] key.
Enable the RAM DBS Motor Starter on
Factory Setup screen.
Press the [MENU] key.
Press the [CONTROL SETUP] key.
Press the [MOTOR SETPOINTS] key.
Enter motor nameplate data (Motor
Amps, Volts, Horsepower, etc.). When
completed, press [OK].
Press the [DBS MOTOR STARTER]
key.
Verify communications between the
Quantum and the DBS starter. This can
be done by locating the DBS Software
Version on the display. The value next
to the version should show 2.50 or
higher. A value of 0.00 indicates a
communications failure, and you will
need to troubleshoot. If the value shown
is correct, proceed to the next step.
11. Refer to page 3 (CONTROL SETUP - MOTOR
CONTROL SETPOINTS RAM DBS MOTOR
STARTER" DISPLAY) to set up the Quantum to
control the DBS.

RAM DBS MOTOR STARTER" DISPLAY
This display is available if a RAM DBS motor starter
has been setup for use with the Quantum. The DBS
accelerates the motor in a smooth stepless motion,
therefore it reduces supply voltage dip during motor
start and mechanical shock on the compressor.
Reference the DBS Operators Guide and Instruction
Manual or Contact RAM Industries Inc. in Leesport,
Pennsylvania at 800-220-8697 with any further
questions concerning the setup and operation of the
RAM DBS.
The current system conditions of the RAM DBS are
displayed for monitoring. The Time Till Start value
will also be displayed on both the Motor Control
display and this display. This value and the current
recycle delay timer must be zero prior to allowing the
compressor to restart. These timers are intended to
prevent damage to the motor from successive
restarts. Both timers can be cleared by pressing the
[Clear Remaining Delay] key on the MotorControl
display. The Time Till Start is read from the RAM
DBS.
The following RAM DBS setpoints are
modifiable from this display:
Locked Rotor Current
Stall Time
J am Current Level
J am Run Delay
Service Factor
Current Unbalance Alarm Level
Current Unbalance Alarm Delay
RTD Temperature Alarm Level
RTD Temperature Alarm Delay
Alarms and trips (shutdowns) that are
recorded by the DBS are shown on the
RAM DBS Motor Starter display but must
be cleared from the Alarms / Shutdowns
display.
The following special selection is on this
display:
Fault History - This selection displays
the RAM DBS Motor Starter display
with the fault history of the RAM DBS
system
