Pre-Installation Testing Instructions

This LCD Lift was extensively tested and in perfect condition when it left our
plant. To make sure that it arrived in the same condition, please use the following
procedure to test the unit prior to installation. Draper does not accept back charges
for labor. Make sure that this unit is operating satisfactorily before installation.

Danger! The traveling pan can exert over 30 kg of force. Do not insert any
body parts or other objects into this unit while power is con nect ed.

➀ Remove the unit from the outer carton.
➁ Remove the cover of the electrical box.
➂ Pre-wire supplied controls and make sure the switch is in the off position

and plug the unit into a 220V AC outlet. Caution: Do not touch any
exposed wires while the unit is plugged in.

➃ Inside the electrical box you will fi nd that a tem po rary plug has been
connected to the terminal board. Extend this plug from the box.
Replace the electrical box cover so that the cover is held loosely (so as not
to crush the wires) in place.

➄ Use the switch to move the traveling pan up and down. Removal of the
access panel will allow the observation of this movement. The unit will stop
automatically when it reaches the fully up or fully down po si tion.
➅ Cycle the unit in both directions until you are satisfi ed the unit is operating
properly. If for any reason the unit does not seem to op er ate properly, call
Draper, Inc. 765/987-7999. Do not pro ceed with installation.
➆ If the unit has been ordered with the remote control option, again verify
operation of the unit by use of the hand held transmitter. If for any reason
the unit does not seem to operate properly, call Draper, Inc., 765/987-7999.
Do not proceed with installation.
➇ If the unit is operating satisfactorily, remove and discard the tem po rary
plug.
➈ Disconnect the switch at the terminal board (terminals #1, #3, and #7). Do
not discard this switch. It is to be used as the wall switch.

➉ Replace the cover on the electrical box and proceed with the installation,

referring to instructions supplied.

Hanging Unit

The LCD Lift may be installed in a variety of ways. Typically, it is re cessed above
the ceiling and supported by four ½" (12.7 mm) threaded mount ing rods. The
bottom of the LCD Lift should be recessed ap prox i mate ly 4 cm above the fi nished
ceiling. The threaded rods should pass through mounting holes supplied in each
corner and be secured by nuts above and below (see Fig. 1). The unit should then
be guy wired or blocked to pre vent swinging. All installations should observe the
following guide lines:
➀ Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate
strength to securely support LCD Lift and projector.

Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit. This could

create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.

➁ Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and anchored so
vibrations or abusive pulling will not weak en in stal la tion.
➂ Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four
threaded mounting rods.

➃ Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. 31 cm minimum
clearance is required below LCD Lift A; 37 cm below LCD Lift B.

Electrical Connections

Unit operates on 220-240V AC, 50 Hz. current.
Opening electrical control box exposes terminals for fi eld con nec tions. Unit
is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) boxed. Wire
con nect ing unit to switch(es) and to power supply should be furnished by
in stall er. Con nec tions should be made in accordance with wiring di a gram, and
wiring should com ply with national and local elec tri cal codes. All op er at ing
switches should be “off” before power is con nect ed.
LCD Lift should be operated and checked prior to installing bomb bay doors,
universal (fl at) ceiling closure or projector.

Operation

When unit is fi rst operated, be cautious. If doors or closure panel do not begin
to open mo men tari ly when switch is fl ipped “down”, return switch to “off ” and
free doors and/or recheck electrical con nec tions before pro ceed ing. Cycle unit
down and up several times to confi rm satisfactory operation.
220 V Single Sta tion Control (CE Approved)—3-position UP-OFF-DOWN
switch per mits op er a tion to be stopped at any point. Factory set limit switch es
au to mat i cal ly stop lift when fully down or fully up.

220 V Multiple Station Control (Not CE Approved)—Switches are similar
in ap pear ance to Single Station Control. Lift stops when switch is re leased
and may be re start ed in either direction. Factory set limit switches stop lift
au to mat i cal ly when fully up or fully down.

24 V Control (CE Approved)—Three-button UP-STOP-DOWN switches stop
at any point desired, operate in any sequence. Factory set limit switch es
au to mat i cal ly stop lift when fully up or fully down. Wire less con trols—whether
infrared or radio fre quen cy—interface with low voltage control box.

Key Operated Switching (Not CE Approved)—Two kinds of key-operated
switches are op tion al ly available with this unit.
➀ The key-operated power supply switch controls power to the lift and
switches. When it is “off”, the switches will not op er ate lift. Key may be
removed from the switch in “on” or “off” position.
➁ A three-position key switch permits the lift to be op er at ed directly by
key. In this case, the lift’s operator must have a key.

If your LCD Lift is equipped with an optional ceiling closure system, it can be
used as is, or in conjunction with a piece of existing ceiling tile.
➀ If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so that its overall
dimensions are the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place
tile into trim frame. Lay closure panel on top (back side) of ceiling tile, and
tighten screws to hold in place.
➁ If installing large closure, attach brackets to bottom of projector plate
(see drawing at right).

➂ Attach 5/16" threaded rods to slots in projector plate or brackets.
➃ Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark po si tion on

Installing Projector

The video projector should be suspended from the trav el ing pan ac cord ing
to projector manufacturer’s instructions or using optional SMS Low Profi le
Mount, and using rec om mend ed standard ceiling mounting hardware (“Z”
brackets are attached to bottom side of traveling pan for easier installation).

If SMS Low Profi le is used, remove aluminum adaptor bracket from LCD Lift.
Use SMS Low Profi le to mark hole locations on aluminum adaptor bracket,
drill holes, attach SMS Low Profi le Mount, then slide adaptor bracket, with
SMS Low Profi le Mount attached, back into Z brackets.

NOTE: Draper Inc. provides an optional aluminum adaptor bracket or an
optional mount for your projector. Please consult the instruction sheet
packed with the adaptor bracket for installation information.

The LCD Lift has a grounded 220-240V AC, 50Hz outlet for pro jec tor power
supply. Power is supplied to this outlet when unit is in “fully down” po si tion. An
AC current sensor has been factory installed and will not allow the projector
to rise into the LCD Lift until the pro jec tor has been cooled by its ventilation
fan(s). When the fan(s) stop op er at ing, the LCD Lift will raise the projector into
its stored position.

Knockouts are provided for passage of signal and control cables.

Unit and projection system should be operated, checked and ad just ed as
necessary at this time.

Warning: Keep fi ngers and other objects away from automatic doors and
traveling pan when unit is operating. Serious injury or damage could
result.
