1 Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
2 Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions invalidates

warranty.

3 Pick up screen case from ends only. Picking case up at other points will

damage case and may damage fabric.

4 To insure a safe installation, the entire weight of the unit MUST BE

supported by the end-plates.

5 Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit access to

bottom panel for making electrical connections or servicing.

6 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
7 Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not discard

with packing material.

8 Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz., 2.5 amp current draw.

NOTE: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found
to be operating properly prior to shipment.

These instructions are meant as a guide only. They do not imply any responsibility
on the part of the manufacturer for improper installation or faulty workmanship at
the jobsite.

Mounting Screen

Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:

1 Screen should be lifted into position only by the end mounting brackets.
Keep case level by lifting end plates simultaneously to prevent surface
damage. Draper provides eyebolts to use in hoisting the screen. DO NOT
use eyebolts to mount screen. Using both mounting holes in the mounting
brackets makes for a much more stable installation. Never attempt to lift
screen along its length.

Caution

2 The entire weight of the unit MUST BE supported by the end plates to provide
a secure installation. Anchoring of the intermediate case support brackets is
typically only needed to reduce any visible case deflection when the unit is
mounted into a ceiling pocket or ceiling tile opening. For installations that are
not recessed, the amount of case deflection is usually not noticeable.

3 Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or even
abusive pulling will not weaken installation.

4 Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable
for the mounting surface chosen. Installer must also insure that wall or
ceiling structure are of adequate strength. Supporting hardware (chains,
cables, rods, etc.) must be essentially vertical.

5 Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation is complete.
6 Front, back and top of case must be straight—not forced to warp or bow. Use

threaded rod and support brackets to keep large cases from warping.
DO NOT use support brackets to support the weight of the screen.

7 Do not use case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.
8 If optional ceiling flange trim kits are attached, use hardware provided.
9 If case is painted, slots on bottom of case should be shielded to protect viewing

surface from paint splatters or overspray.
 After the case is mounted, and before the screen is operated, you will need to

remove the shipping brackets from inside the case. First, remove the closure
panel (see instructions on page 2). You will find the shipping brackets on the
motor end—one in front of the roller and one behind (see Fig. 1). Remove the
black hexagonal brackets with a wrench, taking care not to damage the fabric or
loosen the wiring (see caution note below). Replace the closure panel.

Figure 1

(roller and fabric

removed for clarity)

Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz., 2.5 amp current draw.
Junction box is located just above the closure panel, at the motor end of screen
(left hand motor location only on Paragon). To properly remove closure panel, two
people should follow the steps on page two of these instructions. The junction
box access plate is held closed with pan head screws and may be opened with a
Phillips screwdriver. Removal of access plate exposes red, black and white pigtail
leads and green internal ground wire per attached wiring diagram.
Screen is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully boxed.
Wire connecting screen to switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply should be
furnished by installer. Connections should be made in accordance with attached
wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes.

All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.

Please Note: Do not wire motors in parallel.

Operation

Electrical Connections

Caution: Rough handling in transit may cancel/reset motor limit settings.
To prevent viewing surface damage, be prepared to stop descending
screen if surface begins to retract instead of stopping or if motor does
not shut off when screen has fully retracted into case.

When screen is first operated, be cautious!

Cycle unit down and up several times to confirm satisfactory operation.

110-120V SINGLE STATION CONTROL—

3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch permits operation to be stopped at any
point. Factory adjusted limit switches automatically stop screen when fully
down or fully up.
110-120V MULTIPLE STATION CONTROL—
Switches are similar in appearance to 110-120V Single Station Control.
Screen stops when switch is released and may be restarted in either direction.
Factory adjusted limit switches stop screen automatically when fully down or
fully up.
24V MULTIPLE STATION CONTROL—
Three-button UP-STOP-DOWN switches stop at any point desired, operate in
any sequence. Factory adjusted limit switches automatically stop screen when
fully down or fully up.
KEY OPERATED SWITCHING—
Two kinds of key-operated switches are optionally available with this unit.
1 The key-operated power supply switch controls power to the screen and
switches. When it is “off”, the switches will not operate screen. Key may be
removed from the switch in either “on” or “off” position.
2 A three-position key switch permits the screen to be operated directly by
key. In this case, the screen’s operator must always have a key.

RS232/Ethernet—

Serial communication and network communication optionally available with
wall switches, RF or IR remote.

Caution: Screen is shipped with motor wiring mounted to the case. Be careful

not to pull the wiring loose from the case while removing the brackets—if wiring
is loose, it could be damaged during screen operation. If wiring does come loose,
re-mount as it was.

 Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and
screen has been operated successfully.
