FACTORY DEFAULTS
The factory defaults are automatic phase detection and automatic frequency detection.
AUTO FUNCTION
Paradimes, shipped from the factory with version 16 software or later, are supplied with two phase detection modules;
this will enable the unit to auto-detect the phase order of an incoming three-phase supply or the single phase and
requires no software set-up by the user. Note that the Paradime is designed for single phase and three phase systems
and cannot be run from two phases.
INSTALLER HARDWARE LOCK
Users may be prevented from clearing error messages without reference to a qualified technician by the hardware
‘lock’. In order to remove the 'lock' it is necessary to remove the hardware link situated behind the display board.
Unless you want the user to be able to clear error messages from the front panel, ensure the link is in place after
making any changes. See figs. 8 and 9 below. Note that the hardware link is not fitted in the Patchpack variants.
MANUAL SET-UP
The phase order may be set manually, if desired. NOTE: The hardware lock must be removed to allow this. (See
‘Installer hardware lock’ above).
Press and release the 'down' key

Pressing the up or down arrow keys will change the setting within the square brackets on the display. Subsequent
presses will display the different settings available, these are:-
[111]
Single Phase
[123]
3 Phases connected in the order 1,2,3
[132]
3 Phases connected in the order 1,3,2
[aut]
Auto Phase order detection
Change to the desired option and press
4
to select and memorise the setting. The display will momentarily show
STORED OK.
Automatic phase detection will only be functional if a second phase-detect module is fitted. In the event that it has
been removed, next time the unit is powered up, the Paradime will detect its absence and will select the last setting
used when the second phase-detect module was present. If single phase input to a 16A, 20A or 25A pack is detected,
the Paradime will operate normally but note that it should be protected by a 63A single phase circuit breaker to restrict
the maximum input current to 63A.
When the display shows 411 SET ORDER [ ], pressing the
6
key takes you to 41. Press

If the Paradime is to be supplied from a generator, using the [auto] frequency setting will avoid problems in the event
that the output frequency from the generator is not constant.
