3mm. gap between the heads of the screws and the wall. Hang the Paradime on the two screws, ensuring that the slots have engaged behind both screw heads. Tighten down the screws, so that the Paradime cannot be moved and insert the third screw.
Page 7 CHANGING THE DIMMER FOR USE ON A DIFFERENT POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE The Paradime is able to operate on either 115V or 230V AC supplies. The internal power supply links must be altered, if appropriate, from the factory-set option. Disconnect and isolate the power supply from the dimmer.

For single phase supplies: Where the Paradime is to be used single phase, the single incoming live conductor must be routed to the other two phase inputs using the supplied single-phase links (packed inside the dimmer). Fit the links provided to link terminal P1 to P2 and P2 to P3.
Page 9: Connecting The Outputs
(Socket Versions) Various international output socket types are available. Consult your dealer or the LightProcessor website for further details. Outputs may be made via the output terminal blocks inside the rear of the Paradime as well as via the front-panel sockets.
Page 10 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.
Page 11: Connecting The Control Inputs
See Fig. 13. The termination jumper should be placed in the OFF position, unless the Paradime is the last device in the DMX chain. An optional XLR/DIN plug-in connector set is available as an alternative to hardwired connections. These connectors plug in to the white headers which are exposed when the terminal connector circuit board is removed.
