The AeroLift is provided with four (4) mounting angles for suspending or direct mounting the unit from above, or direct mounting from the sides. These angles
Hanging Unit
provide up to 1½" of adjustment (side to side). The unit should be guy wired orblocked to prevent swinging. All installations should observe the following guidelines:
1 Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate strength to securely support AeroLift 100/150 and projector. It is recommended that
hardware structure be able to hold at least four times the combined weight of the lift, projector, housing, closure and ceiling material attached to closure.
Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit. This could create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.
2 Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely anchored so vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken installation.
3 Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufficient clearance must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure.
4 Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light fixtures, etc.
5 Do not complete the ceiling below the unit until electrical connections have been completed and unit has been operated successfully.
6 Use slots on the projector plate and on the closure to adjust the unit to ensure proper alignment of ceiling closure relative to ceiling opening.

Operation
When unit is first operated, be cautious! If unit fails to operate when the switch
is flipped “down”, return switch to “off” and re-check electrical connections
before proceeding. 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 AeroLift when fully down or fully up.
Optional 110-120V Multiple Station Control
Switches are similar in appearance to 110-120V Single Station Control. AeroLift
stops when switch is released and may be restarted in either direction. Factory
adjusted limit switches automatically stop AeroLift when up or fully down.
Optional 24V Control
Three-button up-stop-down switches stop at any point desired, operate in any
sequence. Factory adjusted limit switches automatically stop AeroLift when fully up
or fully down.
Optional Infrared or Radio Frequency Remote Control
If ordered, a three-button transmitter is provided, with “up”, “down” and “stop”
buttons. Unit starts up or down when appropriate button is pressed, and may be
stopped by pressing “off” button. Factory set limit switches stop unit automatically
when projector is in “show” position. Multiple Station Control required for this
option.
Optional RS232/Ethernet
Serial communication and network communication optionally available with wall
switches, RF or IR remote.
Optional 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 AeroLift 100/150
and switches. When it is “off”, the switches will not operate lift. Key may be
removed from the switch in either “on” or “off” position.
2 A three-position key switch permits the AeroLift 100/150 to be
by key. In this case, the screen’s operator must always have a key
operated directly
.
Testing the Safety Limit Switches
The AeroLift 100 and 150 are equipped with two Safety Limit Switches (see
"AeroLift—Limit Switch Adjustment (Bottom View)" diagram on page 3).
These switches may be damaged during shipping or by rough handling on the
job site.
Once the AeroLift has been installed in the ceiling, but
before the projector and closure are attached, the Safety
Limits must be tested.
Use a screwdriver or other tool to press and hold the limit switch. While holding
down the limit switch, have someone operate the unit. If the unit runs up while
the limit switch is depressed, the limit switch is broken and must be replaced. Operating the unit without a functioning Safety Limit Switch could cause
the unit's motor to continue operating after the lift is closed, leading to a failure
and the possibility of damage or injury. Make sure to test BOTH switches.
Please Note: As weight is applied to the AeroLift, the projector plate may
shift slightly. If this occurs, use setscrews on bottom of fabric roller brackets to compensate for shift and level projector plate (see page 3).
Limit Switch Adjustments
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off ” position before adjusting limit switches
Always be prepared to shut lift off manually when new adjustment is being tested.
Limit switches for the AeroLift 100/150 are preset at the factory. The “Up” (closed) limit
switch is set for fully closed. The “down” (show) limit switch is set for fully lowered.
Once unit is in place, the “down” limit switch may need to be changed to stop the
AeroLift 100/150 closer to the ceiling (that is, to raise the “down” position). Limit
switches are located on the end of roller, and are accessible by removing the cover
of the junction box at the left end of the unit. To adjust the limit switches, use a 5/32"
screwdriver/allen wrench.

Limit Switch Adjustments (Continued)
Caution: It is not uncommon to overheat the motor during initial installation
when setting limits. The motor is thermally protected and will stop working until it
has cooled to a safe temperature before it will start operating again. DO NOT
physically pull the unit down when this occurs.
Adjusting “Down” (SHOW position)
“Down” position may be adjusted by turning the DOWN limit switch adjustment socket
(see Fig. 2 below). Turning the socket clockwise will stop the AeroLift closer to the ceiling.
Turning it counter-clockwise will cause the lift to stop at a lower point.
Adjusting “Up” (CLOSED position)
Because the “up” (“closed”) position is preset at the factory, Draper does not recommend
changing this position using the limit switch. The “up” position of the closure may be
changed by changing the length of threaded rod (see Fig. 5). If necessary, however,
“up” position may be adjusted by turning the UP limit switch adjustment socket (see Fig.
2 below). Turning the socket counterclockwise creates a higher, or more fully closed
position. Turning it clockwise creates a lower ‘UP” (closed) position.

Installing Optional Environmental Air Space Housing
The Environmental Air Space Housing is shipped in pieces, and must be
assembled by the installer. The height of the Environmental Air Space Housing is set by drilling out the knockouts at the desired locations then using
screws to connect side panels. It is recommended that an access panel be
installed in the ceiling to allow future access. The optional environmental air
space housing must be installed to isolate the lift from the “other space used
for environmental air.” Includes trim ring for ceiling opening.
See installation instructions included with Environmental Air Space Housing.
Installing Optional Ceiling Closure
If your AeroLift is equipped with optional ceiling closure, it can be used as
is, or in conjunction with a square of existing ceiling tile.
See installation instructions included with ceiling closure.
Installing Optional Ceiling Trim Kit
The AeroLift is available with a ceiling trim kit, which consists of the lower
section of the Environmental Air Space Housing and the optional closure
panel. See installation instructions included with Ceiling Trim Kit.
JUNCTION BOX
Fabric Roller Adjustment Setscrew
Caution: Make sure limit switch is set so that the AeroLift 100/150 motor is NOT
still running after the lift is closed. If it continues to cycle once the lift is closed, a
failure may occur, making the unit descend rapidly and causing damage and/or
injury.
Please Note: If load is off-center of pan, you may need to adjust the pitch of the
fabric rollers. One setscrew is provided on each end of both fabric rollers (see
above drawing). Use these to adjust roller pitch to keep entire fabric panel taut, so
load is evenly distributed. Use 1/8" hex key to adjust.
