1 Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
2 Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions invalidates
warranty.
3 Pick up screen case from ends only. Picking case up at other points will
damage case and may damage fabric.
4 To insure a safe installation, the entire weight of the unit MUST BE
supported by the end-plates.
5 Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit access to
bottom panel for making electrical connections or servicing.
6 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
7 Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not discard
with packing material.
8 Screen operates on 220V AC, 50 Hz., 1ph. current.
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.
Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:
1 Screen should be lifted into position only by the end mounting brackets.
Keep case level by lifting end plates simultaneously to prevent surface
damage. Draper provides eyebolts to use in hoisting the screen. DO NOT
use eyebolts to mount screen. Using both mounting holes in the mounting
brackets makes for a much more stable installation. Never attempt to lift
screen along its length.
2 The entire weight of the unit MUST BE supported by the end plates to provide
a secure installation. Anchoring of the intermediate case support brackets is
typically only needed to reduce any visible case deflection when the unit is
mounted into a ceiling pocket or ceiling tile opening. For installations that are
not recessed, the amount of case deflection is usually not noticeable.
3 Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or even
abusive pulling will not weaken installation.
4 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.
5 Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation is complete.
6 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. DO NOT
use support brackets to support the weight of the screen.
7 Do not use case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.
8 If optional ceiling flange trim kits are attached, use hardware provided.
9 If case is painted, slots on bottom of case should be shielded to protect viewing
surface from paint splatters or overspray.
Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and
screen has been operated successfully.
Screen operates on 220V AC, 50 Hz., 1ph. 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 brown, black and blue
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. Connections should be made in accordance with attached
wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Please Note: Do not wire motors in parallel.

Installation/Operating Instructions
When screen is first operated, be cautious! Cycle unit down and up several times
to confirm satisfactory operation.
220V AC 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.
220V AC Multiple Station Control (Not CE approved)—Switches are similar
in appearance to 220 V AC 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 down or fully up.
24V Control—Three-button up-stop-down switch(es) stop at any point desired,
operate in any sequence. Factory adjusted limit switches automatically stop screen
when fully down or fully up. Installer should incorporate an all-pole disconnect in
the fixed wiring.
Key Operated Switching (Not CE approved)—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.
Please Note: Screen limits are factory set for optimum performance of the
screen. A procedure is outlined below for minor tweaks, but any adjustment
of these limits may negatively affect the flatness of the screen surface and
could also void the warranty. Please check with Draper prior to resetting
screen limits.
CAUTION: Always be prepared to shut screen off manually when new
adjustment is being tested. Screen may be severely damaged if viewing
surface is allowed to run too far up or too far down.
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit
switches.
Caution: Rough handling in transit may cancel/reset motor limit settings.
To prevent viewing surface damage, be prepared to stop descending screen
if surface begins to retract instead of stopping or if motor does not shut off
when screen has fully retracted into case.
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 screen 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.
Caution: Do not remove the roller assembly from the case unless necessary for repairs. If the roller assembly is removed, be sure motor is fully
re-seated in the bracket, and re-secure it carefully with the motor retaining
spring and screw (see diagram below).
Please see back page for dimensional diagrams of case and optional wall
mounting bracket, wiring diagrams and instructions on removing and replacing the bottom closure.
If you encounter any difficulties installing or servicing your Paragon screen, call your dealer or

Bottom Closure Removal/Replacement
Removal and replacement of the bottom closure panel
requires two people positioned about 152 cm from each end
of the panel. Closure should be handled as shown in Step 5
below to prevent bowing of the closure during handling.
Before removing
bottom closure, you
must first remove
screws at each end
of case (see drawing
at right).
Caution: Be sure to replace screws
and washers at each end of case
when replacing closure!

Brackets are equally spaced from each
other and each end. For example, if the
case length is 513 cm, then each of the
two brackets will be placed approximately 171 cm from each end (with 171
cm between them).
Tab-Tension
Adjustment Procedure
for Paragon
Draper’s Tab-Tensioning System
is factory-set; under normal
circumstances field adjustment is
not required. If you notice wrinkles,
waves or other indications that
tensioning cables need adjusting,
follow these steps:
1 Determine which side requires
adjustment.
2 Secure dowel with one hand.
Caution: Don't touch or bend
viewing surface.
3 Use Phillips-head screwdriver to
depress spring-loaded
adjustment screw. Slowly turn
clockwise to tighten tension or
counterclockwise to loosen
tension. The screw adjusts in ¼

turn increments. Adjust only one
increment (¼ turn) at a time.
4 If problem is not corrected, leave
screen in position for 24 hours to
allow surface material to stretch
into position.
5 If problem still is not corrected,
repeat steps 2 and 3.
