Installation/Operating Instructions

®

Ultimate Access Series E & V Electric Projection Screen by Draper

Caution

1 Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
2 Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions

invalidates warranty.
3 Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit
access to bottom panel for electrical connections or servicing.

4 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
5 Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel or viewing surface.
6 Operating switch(es) and mounting brackets are packed separately

in screen carton. Do not discard with packing material.
7 Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. AC, 1.1 amp current draw.

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.

Hanging Screen

When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen’s operation,
remember surface is centered in the length of the case.
Screen is normally recessed above ceiling with the motor on the left (as the
audience sees the screen). For reverse roll screens, install headbox with
motor on the right. See typical installations detailed on page 3 of this sheet.
Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:
1 Mounting brackets are packed separately in carton. Engage each bracket
with top of housing as shown below and tighten set screws. Bracket should
be within 8" from each end of screen case. Brackets can be removed and
case mounted with lag screws through top of case (holes drilled on site).
2 Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or
even abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken installation.
3 Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and
suitable for the mounting surface chosen.
4 Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation is
complete.
5 The bottom access panel, trap door, and lower edge of the case are joined
with continuous hinge joints and must operate freely. Front and back of
case must be straight–not forced to warp or bow. Hinge joints must be free
of mastic or paint build up, and trapdoor and access panel must be
unobstructed by ceiling tiles.
6 If case is painted on location, removal of roller/fabric assembly is
recommended prior to painting. If not removed, slots on bottom of case

should be shielded to protect viewing surface from paint splatters or
overspray.
7 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., 1.1 amp current draw.
Junction box is located just above the bottom access panel at the left end of
the screen.
Open the access panel/trap door for access to the junction box cover. (See
bottom access panel/trap door opening and closing instructions below).
Remove two (2) hex head screws that secure the cover to the junction box to
expose the red, black, and white pigtail leads and the green ground wire per
wiring diagram on page 3.
If optional low voltage control or video interface control is specified and factory
installed, please refer to wiring diagrams on page 4.
Screen is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully
boxed. Wire to connect 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.

Bottom Access Panel/Trap Door Opening & Closing

After screen case has been mounted, remove the dowel shipping brackets
from dowel if provided. A spring latch at each end of the trap door holds

this assembly closed. In some screens there will also be a spring
latch near the center of the case. To gain access to inside of screen case,

disengage spring latch at each end of the case (and near the center of the
case, if applicable) by sliding the latch lever towards the center of screen
case, then pull down slightly on the trap door assembly. The latch levers are
somewhat concealed from view. Locate these with the trap door open by
feeling for the vertical latch lever above the door about 3" from case endcaps
and near the center of the case.
The assembly will swing down, opening about 135°. Pivot the prop arms at
each end of the trap door assembly towards the ends of screen case. Prop
arms engage with a hole in each endcap to hold the trap door assembly fully
open. To close the trap door assembly disengage prop arms from endcaps
and pivot these over the access panel. Swing the trap door assembly upward,
stopping just before the latch levers hit the bottom flanges of the endcaps
(and center of case where appropriate). Pull levers of latches towards center
of screen case to allow the trap door assembly to be pivoted to its closed
position. Make sure that the spring latch levers engage fully with case
endcaps (and center of case where appropriate).

Caution: Beware of pinch

points along closure

Motorized Roller/Fabric Installation

The bottom access panel/trap door assembly must first be opened and placed
in fully opened position.

The motor end mounting bracket has a metal bracket with snap ring for
accepting motor head. Back out the four set screws in bracket until they are
flush with top side of bracket.

To engage the motor end bracket flange above the two channels in the top of
the screen housing, rotate the bracket approximately 45° counterclockwise
to allow the top surface of the motor bracket to rest flat against the top inside
of the housing. Rotating the bracket clockwise until it is engaged with the
channels, slide it along the length of the housing against the electrical junction
box.

Engage the idler end bracket (rectangular mounting pad) in the same manner
as the motor end bracket and slide it
toward the opposite end of the screen
housing. Do not tighten the set screws on
the brackets until the roller/fabric assembly
is installed, and centered in the case.

Locate the black washer and retaining clip.

Note: This will require two people to
perform safely. Raise the roller/fabric

assembly up into the screen housing
and engage the head of the motor

completely into the motor mounting
bracket, making sure the snap ring
engages with the motor and that the limit

switch adjusting knobs are visible from the
bottom of the screen housing.

While supporting the idler end of the roller,
slide the idler end mounting bracket toward
the roller. Insert the roller pin into the nylon
bushing on the idler end mounting bracket.

The roller idler pin needs to go through
the idler bracket far enough to allow the
washer and retaining clip to be reinstalled
on the pin.

Failure to replace the washer and
retaining clip as shown could result in the
separation of the roller from the brackets.

The roller/fabric assembly and roller
brackets may need to be slid left or right in
mounting channel of case to center fabric
within screen case.

Securely tighten the set screws on the
roller mounting brackets.

Connect the electrical plug from the motor
to the mating socket on the junction box.

Close the bottom access panel/trap door
as previously described.

automatically. Two versions: Model VIC-115 integrates screen operation with
a DRAPER video projector lift or a video projector or tuner with a 110-120V
switched outlet. Model VIC-12 interfaces with 12V switched outlet. Both
available with override switch (VIC–OS), permitting independent operation.
VIC–OS not available with factory installed VIC-115 & VIC-12.
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 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 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.

Limit Adjustments

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.

The motor limit screws are normally located on the audience left of screen
roller.

"DOWN" LIMIT ADJUSTMENT

To Reduce Screen Drop

1 Raise screen surface about 1' above desired setting and turn off.
2 Turn the WHITE/DOWN limit screw clockwise (three screw turns = ½ roller

revolution).
3 Test by running screen down and repeat steps 1 and 2 until desired position
is reached.

To Increase Screen Drop

1 Run screen to the down limit.
2 With the down switch on, turn the WHITE/DOWN limit screw counter-

clockwise (3 turns of screw equals ½ roller revolution) to increase drop.

3 Test by running screen up about 1' and back down to new down limit.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until desired position is reached.

"UP" LIMIT ADJUSTMENT

Screen is Running Too Far Up

1 Lower screen surface about 1' below desired setting and turn off.
2 Turn the YELLOW/UP limit screw clockwise (three screw turns = ½ roller

revolution).

3 Test by running screen up.
4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 until desired position is reached.

Screen Needs to Run Up More

1 Run screen down about 1' and turn off.
2 With the up switch on, turn the YELLOW/UP limit screw counterclockwise

(three turns of screw = ½ roller revolution).
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until desired position is reached.

CAUTION: Do NOT allow the dowel to wrap up over the roller when the
screen is running up! This could damage the screen.

Motorized Roller/Fabric Removal

Reverse the instructions above “Motorized Roller/Fabric Installation” for
removal of the unit.

Operation

When screen is first operated, be cautious! 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 screen when fully down or fully up.
110-120V MULTIPLE STATION CONTROL—Switches are similar in
appearance to 110-120V 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 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 down or fully up.
110-120V & 12V VIDEO INTERFACE CONTROL—Allows screen to be
controlled by a trigger signal—when signal comes on, screen descends
