Paradigm Architectural Control Processor Configuration Manual
Install the Paradigm ACP
The Paradigm architectural control processor (P-ACP) is designed to slide in the bottom
module slot of a Unison DRd or an ERn enclosure. All data terminations used with the
Paradigm ACP are terminated to the right and left I/O boards in the related enclosure. Install
the Paradigm ACP only after the enclosure has been installed and all wires have been
terminated properly.
Step 1:
Open the enclosure door.
Step 2:
Rest the Paradigm ACP on the bottom lip of the enclosure, aligning both left and
right edges with the module slots.
Step 3:
Slide the Paradigm ACP into the rack.
Step 4:
Press gently on each corner of the Paradigm ACP to ensure proper connection
with the card edge connectors on the left and right I/O boards. When power is
applied, the status LEDs will illuminate and the ACP will load the operating
software.
Set Processor Identity and IP Address
Prepare your Paradigm ACP to receive a LightDesigner configuration file. The procedure
to set processor identity and IP address is determined by the type of system you are
installing, either a single or a multiple processor system.
W A R N I N G :
Rack enclosures installed without an accessible power disconnect device
cannot be serviced or operated safely. Follow all local codes and
restrictions. Before removing dimmer or control modules for service, de-
energize main feed to the rack and follow appropriate Lockout/Tagout
procedures as described in NFPA Standard 70E. It is important to note that
electrical equipment such as dimmer racks can present an arc flash safety
hazard if improperly serviced. This is due to available large Short Circuit
Currents on the feeders of the equipment. Any work on energized
equipment must comply with OSHA Electrical Safe Working Practices.
N o t e :
DRd and ERn enclosures are shipped standard with a module retention bar which
secures all modules into the enclosure, requiring a tool for module removal.
Before installing the Paradigm ACP module or any other modules, be sure to
release the retention bar first, install the modules, then replace and secure the
retention bar.
