Draper Access/Series M Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

Installation/Operating Instructions

Access/Series M Projection Screen by Draper

Caution

➀ Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
➁ Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions

invalidates warranty.
➂ Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit access
to bottom panel for servicing.

➃ Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
➄ Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel or viewing surface.

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

With bottom access panel
angled up approx. 20 degrees,
engage hook on the panel
with lip of the housing

Using the hook and lip as a pivot,
pull the panel downward until the
engagement brackets click into
place with the ball detent
on each endcap

Hanging Screen

When locating viewing surface and checking clear ance for screen operation,
remember surface is centered in the length of the case. Regardless of
mounting method used, the following points apply:
➀ Mounting brackets are shipped attached to the case. Engage each bracket
with top of housing as shown below and tighten set screws. A bracket
should be within 18" of each end of screen case. Brack ets can be removed
and case mounted with lag screws through top of case (holes drilled on
site).
➁ Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or
even abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken installation.
➂ 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.
➃ Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after in stal la tion is
complete.

➄ Front, back and top of case must be straight—not forced to warp or bow.
➅ If case is painted on location, removal of roller/fabric assembly is

recommended prior to painting. If not removed, slot on bottom of case
should be shield ed to protect view ing surface from paint splatters or
overspray.

Spring Roller/Fabric Installation

The bottom access panel must be removed fi rst.
The spear end mounting bracket has rectangular openings for accepting roller

spear. Back out the four set screws in bracket until they are fl ush with top side
of bracket.

To engage the spear end bracket fl ange above the two channels in the top of
the screen housing, rotate the bracket approximately 45° counterclockwise
to allow the top surface of the motor bracket to rest fl at against the top
inside of the housing. Rotating the bracket clockwise until it is engaged with
the channels, slide it along the length of the housing toward the left end of
housing, leaving approximately
Tighten the four set screws on the bracket fl ange using

Engage the idler end bracket (nylon bushing) in the same manner as the
spear end bracket and slide it toward the opposite end of the screen housing.
Do not tighten the set screws on this bracket until the roller/fabric assembly is
installed.

Locate the roller/fabric assembly and remove the retaining clip and fl at washer
from the idler end pin, and remove retaining clip from the spear. Remove
brackets from roller.

fabric assembly up into the screen housing and engage the spear of the roller
completely into the spear mounting bracket.

Install the retaining clip on the spear, locking spear and bracket together.
While supporting the idler end of the roller, slide the idler end mounting

bracket toward the roller. Insert the roller pin into the nylon bushing on the
idler end mounting bracket.

The roller idler pin needs to go through the idler bracket far enough to allow
the washer and retaining clip to be reinstalled on the pin. Failure to replace
the washer and retaining clip as shown could result in the separation of the
roller from the brackets.

Securely tighten the four set screws on the idler end mounting bracket.
Reinstall the bottom access panel as previously described.
