Installation/Operating Instructions
Paragon by Draper
Caution
➀
Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
➁ Follow instructions carefully. Installation con trary to in struc tions invali-
dates warranty.
➂ Pick up screen case from ends only. Picking case up at other
points will damage case and may damage fabric.
➃ Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit
access to bottom panel for making electrical connections or servicing.
➄ Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
➅ Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not
discard with packing material.
➆ Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current.
NOTE: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found
to be operating properly prior to shipment.
Mounting Screen
Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:
➀ Screen should be lifted into position only by the end mounting brackets.
Draper provides eyebolts to use in hoisting the screen. Never attempt
to lift screen along its length.
➁ Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or
even abusive pulling will not weaken in stal la tion.
➂ 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.
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.
Use threaded rod and support brackets to keep large cases from warping.
➅ Do not use case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.
➆ If optional ceiling fl ange trim kits are attached, use hardware provided.
➇ If case is painted, slots on bottom of case should be shielded to protect
viewing surface from paint splatters or overspray.
➈ Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and
screen has been operated successfully.
Electrical Connections
Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current.
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. Con nec tions should be made in ac cor dance
with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and
local electrical codes.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is con nect ed.
Please see back page for dimensional diagrams of case and optional
wall mounting bracket, wiring diagrams and in struc tions on removing
and replacing the bottom closure.
When screen is fi rst operated, be cautious! Cycle unit down and up several
times to confi rm satisfactory operation.
110-120V SINGLE STATION CONTROL—3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch
permits operation to be stopped at any point. Factory adjusted limit switch es
automatically stop screen when fully down or fully up.
110-120V MULTIPLE STATION CONTROL—Switches are similar in
ap pear ance to 110-120V Single Station Control. Screen stops when switch
is re leased and may be re start ed in either direction. Factory adjusted limit
switches stop screen automatically when fully up or fully down.
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 up or fully down.
KEY OPERATED SWITCHING—Two kinds of key-operated switches are
optionally available with this unit.
➀ 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.
➁ A three-position key switch permits the screen to be op er at ed 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.
Screen has been factory set and should not nor mal ly require further
ad just ment. However, if you desire to change the “up” and “down” stopping
positions, proceed as follows:
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit
switches. Always be pre pared to shut screen off man u al ly when new
ad just ment is being tested. Screen may be se vere ly damaged if viewing
surface is al lowed to run too far up or too far down.
ADJUSTING “FULLY UP” POSITION—Put a small screw driver in the groove
of the yellow button on the motor and press vertically until hearing a "click".
Raise the shade by pressing the "up" switch on unit. Press the "stop" switch
when the screen is at the desired position. Then press the yellow button on
motor until you hear a "click", then release.
ADJUSTING “FULLY DOWN” POSITION—Put a small screw driver in the
groove of the white button on the motor and press vertically until hearing a
"click". Lower the screen by pressing the "down" switch on unit. Press the
"stop" switch when the screen is at the desired position. Then press the white
button on motor until you hear a "click", then release.
AT NO TIME SHOULD SCREEN BE UNROLLED ENOUGH TO EXPOSE
ANY PART OF SCREEN ROLLER.
