Overview
This setup guide will guide you through the setup and connection of the Paradigm Central Control
Server (P-CCS) in a 19” (1U) rack space mounted bracket.
The Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS) manages a Unison Paradigm LightDesigner Server
Project, which can contain many sub-projects. The P-CCS enables server level control events that can
affect all of the configured sub-projects, such as system wide preset activations from a centralized
timed event configuration.
Additionally, the P-CCS provides support for integration of the Unison Paradigm Virtual Touchscreen, a
BACnet IP interface, and provides a built-in web interface for remote connection from a web browser.
I/O Panel Connections
The P-CCS uses two hardware interfaces, each with an I/O panel including the following connections:
• RJ45 connection for interface to the ETC lighting network (Net3 Network)
• five USB ports (one on the front of the unit, four on the rear panel)
• RJ45 connection for interface to a secondary building lighting network (BACnet systems and the
Virtual Touchscreen)
• 12V dc power input (power supplies are provided)
General Use Safety
The P-CCS must be mounted in a rack in a horizontal flat orientation, or placed flat on a desk.
Rack Mount Safety
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may elevate above the room ambient. Special care
should be taken. Do not operate the processor in an enclosed environment above 100°F (40°C).
• Reduced Air Flow - When installing the processor in an equipment rack, the rack must be vented
and have adequate airflow to maintain an operating temperature below 100°F (40°C).
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in an equipment rack should only be
accomplished using the included ETC rack mount hardware, in a horizontal orientation to assure
even mechanical loading in the rack; avoiding hazardous or dangerous loading conditions.
• Circuit Overloading - Use only the supplied ETC power supplies of 12V dc / 5A to power the
processor. When installed in an equipment rack, consideration should be given to the connection
of the processor to the rack or power source to avoid overloading the rack circuit or supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of the rack or power distribution in the equipment rack should be
applied during installation.
• Reliable Grounding - Reliable earthing of the rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to any supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
