Quick Rack Setup
The “Quick Rack Setup” menu provides you with easy access to the most important dimmer
rack properties. Voltage, rack type, and temperature settings are automatic settings (Auto)
made by the Paradigm ACP. Notice also that rack property defaults have already been
made for you and are indicated in the default menu. You may change any of these settings.
When changing a value, an asterisk “*” will display next to the changed value. When you
have made all value adjustments desired, scroll to the bottom of the menu. Select “Apply
Changes * Only” to save only the changes (indicated with an asterisk*) or select “Apply All”
to save all of the settings in the “Quick Rack Setup” menu.
