Caution
1 Read instructions through completely before proceeding; keep them for
future reference. Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to
instructions invalidates warranty. Care in mounting and correct oper ation will mean long and satisfactory service from your background.
2 Unit should be accessible for complete removal should background
become damaged or should other service be required.
3 Unit should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
4 Nothing should be fastened to dowel or background.
5 Operating switch(es) packed separately in carton. Do not discard with
packing material.
6 Unit operates on 220V, 50 hz., 1. ph current.
NOTE: Unit 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 Draper, Inc. for improper installation or faulty
workmanship at the jobsite.
Installation
Your Draper Video Conferencing Background can be mounted on a wall or
suspended from the ceiling, or mounted on 15 cm or 25-36 cm extension
brackets. Extension brackets must be ordered separately from Draper. With
each method of installation, the case must be mounted level and with the flat
back parallel to the wall.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the hardware which comes with
the unit or is specified in these instructions.
The unit (or wall extension brackets) should be mounted into studs or block
ing in the wall/ceiling, or in drywall (minimum thickness 1/2") with specified
anchors. For any other type of installation, follow all local building and safety
codes.
Steel studs, concrete or cinder block walls and all other types of non-wood
frame construction require the use of special screws or anchors. The selection
of appropriate mounting hardware should be made by a qualified professional
installer.
When locating background and checking clearance for operation, remember
background is centered in case.
Take care to install wall/ceiling electrical box and conduit so they will be fully
concealed by the case after installation.
Handle case carefully to avoid scratching.
Regardless of mounting method, unit should be positively and securely sup
ported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on the background will not
cause case to work loose or fall. Installer must insure that fasteners used are
of adequate strength and suitable for the mounting surface chosen.

Ceiling/Suspended Mounting
Locate two offset ceiling brackets (supplied) and slide these into the channel
on top of case by aligning the chamfered edges of each bracket parallel to
the channel length. Allow bracket to drop against bottom of channel and then
rotate bracket counter-clockwise. Slide one bracket to each end of case until it
stops against end cap of case. Tighten two set screws to lock bracket in place.
Make sure that the flange of the ceiling bracket that has four holes is extended
beyond the end caps of the case. Repeat above procedure for second ceiling
bracket, making sure to slide it towards opposite end of case.
To mount against ceiling, hold case against ceiling and mark mounting hole
locations. Each bracket has two holes towards the front edge and two holes
towards the back edge. Installer must use at least two fasteners per bracket
with one fastener in one of the two holes closest to back edge of bracket, and
one fastener in one of the two hole closest to front edge of bracket. Installer
must insure that fasteners are of adequate strength and suitable for the
mounting surface chosen.
Wall Mounting
Mount two, three or four aluminum brackets provided (“Z” Clips) on the wall
at desired height, using appropriate fasteners. Verify that they are in line and
level to fully engage with the mounting lip on back of case. 15/8" of free space
is required above the “Z” Clips to allow case lip to be engaged over the lip of
the “Z” Clips.
Engage the lip on back of case with lip of “Z” Clip and gently pull down to fully
To mount suspended from ceiling, the brackets need to be installed on
case as noted above. Use “S” Hooks through the holes in the brackets to
attach to ceiling. Select the set of holes that allows the unit to hang in a vertical position. The installer is to provide the "S" Hooks and the materials and
fasteners to attach the “S” Hooks to the ceiling. Installer must insure that the
fasteners and suspension material is of adequate strength and suitable for the
background chosen.

Removing Case Fascia
Extension Wall Brackets
Caution: When removing or reattaching fascia, do not handle fascia
by unpainted ends.
Case fascia is removable to access roller assembly. To remove fascia, depress
outward the spring lip located inside lower front corner of case and pull lower
corner of fascia outward. Repeat this at right end of case. Support fascia from
center and rotate lower front edge upward approximately 40° to disengage
the Roll-Lok hinge at the top front of case. Fascia can now be completely
removed from case.
To install fascia, generally reverse instructions above making sure the RollLok hinge is completely engaged before rotating fascia down towards the
closed position. Depress spring clips outward, push lower corners of fascia
inward until lips of spring clips hook behind fascia.
Please Note: Be sure the clips are completely up against the ends of the
fascia.
Electrical Connections
Unit operates on 220V, 50 Hz., 1 ph current.
Junction box is located at left end of unit. It is accessible through front of case
after fascia is removed (see instructions above for removing fascia).
Electrical supply wires can enter through the back or top of case. For top
entry, remove plug from top conduit hole and snap plug into hole on back side
of case.
Junction box contains red, black, and white pigtail leads and green internal
ground wire per wiring diagram attached.
If optional low voltage control is specified, please refer to wiring diagrams on
pages 4-5.
Wall or ceiling electrical box should be installed so as to be fully concealed by
case after installation.
Unit is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully
boxed. Wire to connect unit to switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply
should be furnished by installer. Please Note: Unit must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code
(NEC), NFPA 70. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part
of the building installation.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Plug-in power cord option available on units with built-in low voltage controller.

Operation
Before operating unit, remove any shipping brackets or tape securing
background and dowel to the roller. If background hangs out of case 20-23
cm, tape has probably been broken by rough handling in shipment, allowing
background to “unwrap” one turn off the roller. Manually wrap background
back around the roller without turning the roller itself.
When unit is first operated, be cautious! Cycle unit down and up several
times to confirm satisfactory operation.
220V SINGLE STATION CONTROL—3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch
permits operation to be stopped at any point. Factory adjusted limit switches
automatically stop background when fully down or fully up.
220V MULTIPLE STATION CONTROL—(Not CE Approved) Switches are
similar in appearance to 220V Single Station Control. Background stops when
switch is released and may be restarted in either direction. Factory adjusted
limit switches stop background 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 background when fully down or fully up.
Installer should incorporate an all-pole disconnect in the fixed wiring.
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 the unit and
switches. When it is “off”, the switches will not operate unit.
Key may be removed from the switch in either “on” or “off” position.
2 A three-position key switch permits the unit to be operated directly by
key. In this case, the unit's operator must always have a key.
