Installation/Operating Instructions

220V Signature/Series E & V Electric Projection Screen

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.

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.

C

AUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit 

switches.

Adjusting “Fully Up” Position

—“Up” stopping position may be adjusted by turn-

ing the yellow llimit switch adjustment socket. The yellow socket is located on left 

end of screen roller and is accessible to a  screwdriver/Allen wrench (4mm or 

5

/

32

").

Turning the socket counterclockwise will allow the viewing surface to retract further 

into the case. Turning it clockwise will cause the surface to stop further out of the 

case. One full revolution of the socket will alter the stopping position of the viewing 

surface by approximately 3.8 cm.

Adjusting “Fully Down” Position

“Down” stopping position may be adjusted by 

turning the white limit switch adjustment socket. The white socket is located on the 

left end of screen roller and is accessible to a small flat screwdriver/Allen wrench 

(4mm or 

5

/

32

"). Turning the socket counterclockwise will allow the viewing surface 

to run farther down. Turning it clockwise will shorten the viewing surface, causing it 

to stop in a less extended position.

 At no time should viewing surface be unrolled 

enough to expose any part of the screen roller.

Please note: 

See page 2 for information on adjusting Tab-Tensioning cables on 

Signature/Series V screens.

Caution

1

 Read instructions through completely before proceeding. Follow instructions care- 

  fully. Installation contrary to instructions invalidates warranty.

Pick up screen case from 

ends only

. Picking case up at other points 

will damage  

 case 

and 

may damage fabric

.

3

 To insure a safe installation, the 

entire weight

 of the unit MUST BE supported by  

  the end-plates. 

4

 Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit proper operation of  

  automatic trap door, and access to bottom panel for making electrical connections  

  or servicing.

5

 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).

6

 Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel, viewing surface or automatic trap door.

7

 Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not discard with  

  packing material.

8

 Screen operates on 220V AC, 50 Hz. current.

NOTE

: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found to be 

operating properly prior to shipment.

 Hanging Screen 

When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen’s operation, 

remember that the surface is centered in case. Screen is normally recessed above 

ceiling and may be installed in a variety of ways. See details on back of this sheet. 

Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:

 

Keep case level when lifting and mounting. 

Pick up screen case from 

ends  

 only

. Picking case up at other points 

will damage case 

may damage fabric

.

  Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or even  

  abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken installation. 

  Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable  

  for the mounting surface chosen. 

  Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation. 

  The hinge that connects bottom panel and automatic trap door of screen must  

  be permitted to operate freely. Front and back of case must be straight—not  

  forced to warp or bow. Hinges must be free from mastic or paint buildup, and  

  doors must be unobstructed by ceiling tiles. 

  Do not use screen case to support adjacent sections of ceiling. 

  If trim pieces must be attached to case, do not permit screws to protrude more  

  than 6.35mm thru 3.2mm wall of case. Do 

not 

attach trim pieces with nails.

  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.

Electrical Connections

Screen operates on 220V AC, 50 Hz., 1 ph. current. Junction box is located 

just above the access plate at left end of screen. Access plate is held closed 

with flathead screws and may be opened with a Phillips screwdriver. 

Automatic 

trap door does 

not 

need to be opened to make field connections.

 Junction box 

contains pigtail leads and grounding screws, per wiring diagram on reverse. 

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.

Operation

CAUTION—Important Instructions—

Signature/Series V—The shipping sup-

port brackets must be removed from each end of dowel during initial operation 

before screen is operated in UP direction. After screen is installed, run viewing 

surface DOWN to access screws that hold brackets to dowel. Loosen hex head 

screw, remove bracket and retighten screw at each end of dowel. Signature/Series 

E—The protective paper wrapping around the viewing surface must be removed 

before the screen is operated in down direction. Cycle viewing surface down and 

up several times to confirm satisfactory operation. If viewing surface or trap door 

do not operate properly, turn power off and free trap door and/or check electrical 

connections.

220V Single Station Control

3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch permits opera-

tion to be stopped at any point. Factory set limit switches automatically stop screen 

when fully down or fully up.

220V Multiple Station Control 

(Not CE Approved)

Switches are similar in ap-

pearance to Single Station Control. Screen stops when switch is released and may 

be restarted in either direction. Factory set limit switches stop screen automatically 

when fully down or fully up.

24V Control

Three-button UP-STOP-DOWN switches stop at any point desired, 

operate in any sequence. Factory set limit switches automatically stop screen 

when fully down or fully up. Wireless controls—whether infrared or radio fre-

quency—interface with low voltage control box.

Key Operated Switching 

(Not CE Approved)

Two kinds of key-operated 

switches are optionally available with this unit. 

 

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 “on” or “off” position. 

 A three-position key switch permits the screen to be operated directly by key. In 

this case, the screen’s operator must have a key.

RS232/Ethernet—

Serial communication and network communication optionally 

available with wall switches, RF or IR remote.
