Access Electric Projection Screen by Draper

Caution

1 Read instructions through completely before proceeding; keep them
for future reference. Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to
instructions invalidates warranty. Care in mounting and correct operation
will mean long and satisfactory service from your Draper screen.
2 Before removing screen from crate, check for damage and to make sure
all parts are included.
3 Allow enough access to remove front cover should fabric become
damaged or should other service be required.

4 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
5 Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel or viewing surface.
6 Operating switch(es) is packed separately in screen carton. Do not

discard with packing material.
7 Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. 1.1 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.

Hanging Screen

When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen operation,
remember surface is centered in the length of the case. Regardless of
mounting method used, the following points apply:
1 Mounting brackets are shipped attached to the case. Engage each bracket
with top of housing as shown below and tighten set screws.
2 Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or
even abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken installation.

Please Note: A Hoisting Bracket is included on each end of the case to
aid in overhead installation of the Access case.

3 Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and
suitable for the mounting surface chosen. Supporting hardware (chains,
cables, 3/8" rods, etc.) must be essentially vertical.

Operation

When screen is first operated, be cautious! Cycle unit down and up several times
to confirm satisfactory operation. Be prepared to cut POWER if necessary.
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 up or fully down.

24V 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 up or fully down. Installer should incorporate an all-pole
disconnect in the fixed wiring available with RF or IR remote.

110-120V & 12V VIDEO INTERFACE CONTROL—Allows screen to be controlled
by trigger signal—when the signal comes on, the screen descends automatically.
Two versions: Model VIC115 integrates screen operation with a Draper video
projector lift or a video projector or tuner with a 110-120V switched outlet. Model
VIC12 interfaces with a 12V switched outlet. Both available with an override switch
(VIC–OS), permitting independent operation. VIC–OS not available with factory
installed VIC115 & VIC12.

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.

Normal Operation

Please note: When ordering a motor with internal Low Voltage Controller,
if the case ships separate from the "guts," the case includes the 25' cable
and special low voltage switch.

1 Connect the ILT switch to the motor via the terminal blocks, or via the modular port
using four conductor modular cable. When using modular cable, the cable
connectors MUST NOT be crimped in reverse, as with standard telephone cable.

(For a Dry Contacts Wiring Diagram, see page 4.)

2 Set the slide switch to the lower position. Press and hold the DOWN button on the
switch to move the viewing surface to the desired lower limit. If the screen moves in
the opposite direction, release the DOWN button and press and hold down the
STOP button for four seconds. This will reverse the operation of the UP and DOWN
switches.
3 Move slider switch into center position.Wait a couple of seconds.

Please Note: If you move the slider switch from down to up in one motion it
sets the two limits in the same position.

4 Set the slide switch to the higher position. Move the viewing surface to desired
upper limit by pressing and holding the UP button on wall switch.

5 Return the slide switch to the center position to return to normal operation.
6 To set the viewing surface to an alternate format position, move the viewing surface

to the desired position and press the STOP button. Press and hold the STOP
button for at least three seconds to record the position.

Please Note: Pressing and releasing the UP button on the switch will move the
screen to its upper limit. Pressing and releasing the DOWN button will move the
screen to its lower limit.
While the motor is in motion, pressing the STOP button for less than two
seconds will stop the viewing surface at its present position.
Once the motor is stopped, pressing the STOP button will move the viewing
surface to its alternate format position.
Pressing and holding the STOP button, when the motor is at rest or in
motion, for at least three seconds will record a new alternate format position.
