Installation/Operating Instructions
SL & SLX Scissor Lift Video Projector Lift by Draper
Caution:
➀ Read instructions completely before proceeding.
➁ Test lift prior to installation.
➂ Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions
invalidates warranty.
➃ Do not obstruct operation of Scissor Lift with fi ngers or any object.
Serious injury or damage could result.
➄ Scissor Lift is designed to accommodate ceiling suspended equip ment.
Equipment should not be allowed to rest on optional ceiling closure
during operation (refer to section titled “Installing Pro jec tor”).
➅ Entire bottom of unit must be unobstructed to permit proper op er a tion.
Suffi cient clearance must be allowed below projector or op tion al ceiling
closure: 4' for Model SL4, 5' for Model SL5, etc.; 11' for Model SLX11,
12' for Model SLX12, etc.
➆ Unit must be installed level (use a carpenter’s level).
➇ Unit operates on 110-120V AC 60 Hz. current.
Note: Unit has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found
to be operating properly prior to shipment.
Planning
➀ Based on screen location and projector specifi cations, determine proper
position for projector in stal la tion.
➁ Confi rm that there is adequate space for installation and operation.
Minimum clear ance above ceiling level varies according to Scissor Lift
model, plus height of projector, optional mounting bracket, optional ceiling
closure, and optional plenum rated housing.
➂ Arrange to provide service access to the unit.
As Soon As Scissor Lift Arrives
➀ Open carton and inspect for damage.
➁ Locate the following parts:
A. The unit itself
B. Controls
C. Any optional equipment: plenum housing, closure panel, ceiling fi nish kit
or decorative cover (all ship in separate cartons).
➂ Test lift prior to installation.
Hanging Unit
Please note: If using plenum housing option, go to plenum housing
instructions on page 2.
The Scissor Lift may be installed in a variety of ways; recessed above the
ceiling, or sus pend ed below the ceiling. The lift should be supported by four
½" thread ed mount ing rods. If ceiling recessed, the entire unit (including
the projector) should set approximately 1½" above the fi n ished ceiling in its
“stored” position. The threaded rods should pass through the corner mount ing
fl anges and be secured by nuts above and below. Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite
blocked to pre vent swing ing.
All installations should observe the following guidelines:
➀ Access from above the unit, with enough clearance to remove the top
cover, should be pro vid ed in case service is re quired. If installing above a
hard ceiling, optional Draper Access Panels are available to allow access to
the unit.
➁ Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of ad e quate
strength to securely support Scissor Lift and projector.
➂ Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and se cure ly
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken
installation.
➃ Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four
threaded mount ing rods.
➄ Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Suffi cient clear ance
®
#242 (provided). The unit should then be guy wired or
must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure: 4' for Model
SL4, 5' for Model SL5, etc.; 11' for Model SLX11, 12' for Model SLX12, etc.
➅ Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light fi xtures, etc.
➆ Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have
been completed and unit has been operated successfully.
➇ We recommend that safety cables be attached to the Scissor Lift for added
security (a sound in stal la tion practice with overhead equipment).

Installing Projector
Depending on job conditions and projector, it may be easier to re move
optional ceiling closure panel before installing projector.
Generally, the video pro jec tor should be sus pend ed from the bottom pan
ac cord ing to pro jec tor man u fac tur er’s in struc tions and rec om mend ed stan dard
ceiling mounting hardware. For projectors 26 lbs. or below, use Draper's Low
Profi le Mount with Universal Projector Bracket.
The Scissor Lift has a grounded 110-120V AC, 60Hz power cord for
pro jec tor power supply. The power cord is laced down the back scissor and is
“hot” at all times.
Control cables should be laced through our Cable Management System.
Make sure to use fl exible cables, and to allow enough cable at each turn
so cables do not stretch or kink. This will ensure that cords do not become
tangled and dam aged during Scissor Lift operation.
Unit and projection system should be operated, checked and ad just ed as
necessary at this time.
After testing operations, the optional closure panel should be re at tached.
Be sure to use Loctite
NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, units should
be operated to confi rm that optional ceiling closure panel stops just short of
touching ceiling in closed position.
Warning: Keep fi ngers and other objects away from automatic ceiling closure
and scissor mechanisms when unit is operating. Serious injury or damage
could result.
Some plenum housings are longer than wide and mounting hole
locations for plenum will change.

, or other thread locking compound on the nuts.
The Plenum Housing is shipped in pieces, and must be assembled by the
installer. The height of the plenum can be adjusted by up to 2" (5 cm) by moving
the trim frame to different mounting holes in side panels. It is recommended that
an access panel be installed in the ceiling to allow future access.
➀ Attach Plenum frame to top of Scissor Lift with bolts provided (7, 8).
➁ Install top panel to plenum frame.
➂ Attach assembly to overhead structure. Allow clearance between plenum top
and structure for ease of future access.
➃ Install side and end panels, and trim frame.

Installing Optional Ceiling Closure Panel— Size "B" or "E"
If your Scissor Lift is equipped with a "B" or "E" ceiling closure panel, 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 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 tile & tighten screws to hold in place.
➁ Attach provided angle brackets to side of bottom of Scissor Lift.
➂ For larger units, attach short angle brackets to ends of long angle brackets.
➃ Attach
➄ Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark po si tion on
rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).
➅ Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
➆ Attach closure to lower end of
and secure with nuts above and below slots.
➇ Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel
fails to reach required “closed” height for sur round ing ceil ing.
➈ Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of
raise panel required distance.
➉ Test unit operation to confi rm that panel will stop in closed position just
before touching ceiling.
NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, unit should be
operated to confi rm that optional ceiling closure panel stops just short of touching
ceiling in closed position.
Your Scissor Lift can be equipped with an optional ceiling closure sys tem. To
install it:
➀ Remove closure and all mounting hardware from carton.
➁ Optional ceiling closure can be mounted in either of the following styles:
A. If ceiling tile is to be inserted in the closure, this may be done now, or
later when the rest of the ceiling is in stalled (per mit ting a better match).
Cut tile so that its overall dimensions are the same as (or slightly less
than) the closure panel. Attach to the closure panel with adhesive.
B. Position one pre-cut aluminum tee along outside edge of panel so arm
extends under and rests on the panel (or tile if tile is being used). Be
careful not to compress the tile. Drill three holes through rib of tee into
edge of panel and pop rivet into place (or use self-tapping screws).
C. Follow same procedure with remaining 3 tees.
NOTE: Since tees comprise part of exposed trim, care should be taken
to ensure accurate fi t.
➂ Attach two (2) mounting angles to the corresponding holes in the bottom
pan with the supplied hardware.
➃ Attach other two (2) mounting angles at 90° to previous angles (right to left)
in the corresponding holes with the supplied hard ware.
➄ Attach one of four 3/8" threaded rods by passing the rod through one of the
four corner holes, in the angles and secure with nuts top and bottom.
Approximately ½" of rod should extend above angle.
➅ Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark po si tion on
3
pan if convenient). Cut remaining three rods to same length.
➆ Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position. Secure all four
3
➇ Attach closure to lower end of each
each rod to fi rmly clamp fi xtures on top of panel.
➈ Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel
fails to reach required “closed” height for sur round ing ceil ing.
➉ Run unit “down” then readjust mounting of
panel required distance.
NOTE: Rods should not extend more than 1" above the angles attached
to the pan. Cut extra rod off if necessary.

before touching ceiling.
The Scissor Lift is available with a ceiling fi nish kit, which consists of the lower
section of the plenum housing (trim frame) and the closure panel.
➀ Install Scissor Lift as previously described in these instructions.
➁ Install trim frame in opening. This can be accomplished by suspending with
wire or mounting directly to ceiling joists (if space permits).
➂ Install projector and attach optional ceiling closure panel to Scissor Lift. See
above for appropriate ceiling closure instructions.
