can be moved up one inch to accommodate taller projectors. Make the neces-
sary connections and plug the power cord of the projector into the receptacle 
provided in the electrical chassis. 

Power to the Revelation should be turned 

off any time electrical connections or mechanical adjustments are made 
to the Revelation! 

Cycle the mirrored door down to the lowered position. You 

are now ready to move on to adjusting the image to the screen.

Adjusting Image

First, use your projector’s operating manual to establish proper orientation of 
the image and adjust the lens position to achieve the desired image width and 
location.
Next, use the Revelation's adjustments to adjust the height of the image on 
the screen.
The Revelation has two adjustments: 

1

  Always start by sliding the inner pan which holds the projector either back-

ward or forward depending on desired location of image. Sliding the inner 
pan towards the projection screen will change where the image strikes the 
mirror on the door, and lower the projected image. Inner pan has a travel 
range of approximately 8".

2

  Opening the mirrored door even further into the room will lower the 

projected image. The limit switch is factory set to let the door open into 
the room at a 45° angle. The door can open approximately 10° farther 
by changing the limit switch’s position. You can also tip the front of the 
projector up toward the first mirror. This adjustment allows the image to be 
projected farther down from the ceiling, but still introduces keystone into 
the image. This adjustment offers the same adjustment feature as opening 
the mirrored door up farther into the room without adjusting the mirrored 
door's limit switches.

Adjust the door only if your projector is equipped with keystone correction or a 
certain amount of keystoning can be tolerated. 

To adjust the limit switch of the door:

TOOLS:

 screwdriver/Allen wrench (

/

"); electronic level or protractor or other 

tool to measure angles.
Turn the unit on and open the door to its factory set position. Record the angle 
measurement.

Caution: 

Any adjustments to the limit switches should be done with the 

power to the Revelation turned off! 

Locate the two limit switch brackets at the edge of the top mirror on the motor 
side of the pan. The top bracket controls the downward travel limit of the door 
and adjustments are made to this bracket. Note and mark current location of 
limit switch bracket. 

The bottom limit switch bracket is set at the factory for 

proper closure alignment and should not need adjusting.

Use a 

3

/

16

" Allen wrench to loosen the two screws on the limit switch bracket 

and slide the bracket toward the electrical chassis. A slight adjustment to the 
limit switch bracket will result in a significant movement of the door. It is rec-
ommended that the limit switch be adjusted in small incremental moves of 

1

/

8

".

Tighten the screws. Keeping hands and tools clear of the limit switch, connect 
the power. The door should open further. Record the new angle and check the 
position of the image on the screen. 
If the position of the image on the screen is satisfactory, close the door and 
make sure the screws are completely tight.
If the position of the image needs adjusting, leave the door open, disconnect 
the power, loosen the screws and slide the bracket toward the motor to open 
the door more, or slide the bracket closer to its original position. 

Check alignment of image and repeat adjustment procedure as neces-
sary. After all adjustments are completed, be sure to tighten all loosened 
screws to inner pan and limit switch bracket!

  Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. 432mm minimum 

clearance is required below the door.

5

  Access should be provided to electrical control box in case service is  

required.

6

  Do not use unit to support adjacent light fixtures, etc.

7

  Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have 

been completed and unit has been operated successfully.

8

  We recommend that safety cables be attached to the Revelation for  

added security (a sound installation practice with overhead equipment).

Electrical Connections

Unit operates on 220 V a.c., 60 Hz. current.
Opening the access cover on the electrical control box exposes terminals 
for field connections. Unit is shipped with internal wiring complete. Wire for 
connecting unit to switch(es) and to power supply should be furnished by 
electrician. Connections should be made in accordance with wiring diagram 
on page 5, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes. 
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.

Operation

Caution: Keep fingers and other objects away from unit when it is 

operating. Serious injury or damage can result.

When unit is first operated, be cautious! If door does not begin to open 
momentarily when switch is flipped “down”, return switch to “off” and free door 
and/or recheck electrical connections before proceeding. Cycle door down 
and up several times to confirm satisfactory operation.

Single Station Control

 (CE Approved)—Moving 3-position switch to “down” 

position will start door down. Moving switch to “up” will start door up. When 
door is fully down or fully up, it will automatically be stopped by factory set 
limit switches. Whenever switch is placed in center “off” position, operation will 
stop.

Multiple Station Control

—Each switching station has a three-button switch 

with “up”, “down”, and “off” buttons. Door starts up or down when appropriate 
button is pressed, and may be stopped by pressing “off” button. Factory set 
limit switches stop door automatically when door is fully up or fully down.

Key Operated Switch—

If ordered, a single station, key-operated three posi-

tion (up/off/down) switch is available for this unit.

Video Interface Control (VIC12, VIC12 Modified)—

This optional control 

device allows the Revelation switch to control the operation of a Draper 
motorized projection screen via relay.

Infrared or Radio Frequency Remote Control 

(CE Approved)—A three-but-

ton transmitter is provided, with “up”, “down”, and “stop” buttons. Door starts 
up or down when appropriate button is pressed, and may be stopped by 
pressing “off” button. Factory set limit switches stop door automatically when 
door is fully up or fully down.

Installing Projector

The Revelation has a grounded 220 V a.c., 60Hz outlet for projector power 
supply. Power is supplied to this outlet at all times.
Holes are provided for power and control wiring.

Install a projector with the capability to invert its image.

Place the projector into the sliding inner pan so that the center of the projector 
lens is aligned L to R with the center of the upper mirror. Position the projector 
lens as close as possible to the upper mirror without the reflected light path 
striking any part of the projector. 

An extension plate is provided if the feet 

of your projector rest inside the opening of the inner pan

. The extension 

is designed to support the front legs of your projector and the folded up edge 
can be used as a stop to help reposition the projector when removed. Adhere 
the extension plate only after you have adjusted the image and marked the 
position of the plate.
Establish exact placement through trial and error using the various adjust-
ments integrated throughout the design of the Revelation. The upper mirror
