Draper Paragon Series Installation & Operating Instructions Download Page 1

Caution

  Read instructions through completely before proceeding.

  Follow instructions carefully. Installation con trary to in struc tions invali-

dates warranty.

  Pick up screen case from 

ends only

. Picking case up at other 

points 

will damage case 

and 

may damage fabric

.

  Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit

access to bottom panel for making electrical connections or servicing.

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

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

discard with packing material.

➆ 

Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current.

NOTE

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

to be operating properly prior to shipment.

Mounting Screen

Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:

  Screen should be lifted into position 

only by the end mounting brackets. 

  Draper provides eyebolts to use in hoisting the screen. Never attempt 
  to lift screen along its length.

  Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or 

  even abusive pulling will not weaken in stal la tion.

  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.

  Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after in stal la tion is 

 complete.

  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 case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.

  If optional ceiling fl ange trim kits are attached, use hardware provided.

  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 110-120V, 60 Hz. 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 red, 
black and white 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. Con nec tions should be made in ac cor dance 
with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and 
local electrical codes.

All operating switches should be “off” before power is con nect ed.

Operation

When screen is fi rst operated, 

be cautious! 

Cycle unit down and up several 

times to confi rm satisfactory operation.

110-120V SINGLE STATION CONTROL—

3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch 

permits operation to be stopped at any point. Factory adjusted limit switch es 
automatically stop screen when fully down or fully up.

110-120V MULTIPLE STATION CONTROL

—Switches are similar in 

ap pear ance to 110-120V Single Station Control. Screen stops when switch 
is re leased and may be re start ed in either direction. Factory adjusted limit 
switches stop screen automatically when fully up or fully down.

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 up or fully down.

KEY OPERATED SWITCHING

—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 either “on” or “off” position. 

  A three-position key switch permits the screen to be op er at ed 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.

Adjustments 

Screen has been factory set and should not nor mal ly require further 
ad just ment. However, if you desire to change the “up” and “down” stopping 
positions, proceed as follows:

CAUTION:

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

switches. Always be pre pared to shut screen off man u al ly when new 
ad just ment is being tested. Screen may be se vere ly damaged if viewing 
surface is al lowed to run too far up or too far down.

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 shade 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.
