First Time Paramount Setup
Please make sure to carefully read both the Paramount Unpacking insert and the Paramount Quick Start Guide in
the Paramount boxes before using the mount.
After the Paramount has been unboxed and safely attached to your tripod or pier, the next step is to connect the
power and communication cables to the Electronics Box so that the mount can be turned on.
1. Plug the round end of the Paramount power cable into the port labeled 48V Power In on the Electronics
Box and the other into an electric outlet.
2. Plug the USB-C end of the USB cable into the Electronics Box port labeled USB and USB A connector into
a free USB port on the computer.
3. Flip the On/Off switch upward to the on position.
When the Paramount is turned on, three LEDs on the Electronics Box are illuminated, and a short “whistle” is
emitted to indicate the control system has been successfully initialized. (The LEDs labeled HA and Dec are orange;
LED labeled TCS pulses from blue to purple). Two successive beeps are emitted shortly afterward indicating the
servomotors have been initialized.
To listen to an audio clip of a successful startup, log in to www.bisque.com, click Support, Video and Audio Clips
and search for Audible Feedback.
Exactly when the two motor initialization beeps occur may be different for each mount and
will vary depending on the mount's current mechanical orientation. The beeps may even
occur simultaneously so that only a single beep is audible.
If the LEDs on the Electronics Box are illuminated, and the mount homes, it means control
system is functioning normally.
Controlling the Paramount with TheSky Professional
After plugging the USB cable into the mount and computer, you must configure TheSky Professional to control the
Paramount.
1. Make sure the mount is turned on so that the computer recognizes the Paramount USB port.
