Quantum™ 4 Main Board History and
Identification
The processor board shown on this page is known as the
Quantum™ 4 and has been in production since October
®
2001. Frick Company developed this board as the
successor to the Quantum™ 3 and it is based on the
Pentium microprocessor platform.
The Quantum™ 4 board can be identified by the presence
of a "piggy back" daughter board mounted to the main
board. This "daughter board" is the communications
portion of the Quantum™, and it can be identified by the
presence of an 8 position DIP switch. There are also a
number of jumpers (or links) present on this smaller board,
as well as three green connectors (RS-232, RS-422 and
RS-485 ports). The jumpers are used to set up the
communications parameters that are listed on the next
page.
The main board (larger of the two) has a number of
jumpers (or links) also. The links on this main board MAY
need to be modified by factory qualified personnel to
configure the Quantum™ for specific applications. Refer to
®
the ACUair Maintenance Manual (S90-500 M) for more
details on the settings of these "Links".

Unlike the Quantum™ 1 & 2, which utilized EPROMS for
the Operating Software, the Quantum™ 4 utilizes Flash
Card technology, as did the Quantum™ 3. There is a
Flash Card socket located on the under side of this main
board. The Operating System has been pre-loaded at the
factory, so this Flash Card feature will primarily be utilized
for future program updates.

The information that follows will primarily describe the
jumper configuration for communications settings, as well
as wiring diagrams for
communications that are possible with the Quantum™ 4.
