Installation/Operating Instructions

Targa Electric Projection Screen by Draper 

Hanging Screen 

General:

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

remember surface is centered in case. Handle case carefully to protect its finish.

Regardless of mounting method, screen should be positively and securely sup-

ported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on the viewing surface 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.

Suspended Installation:

Suspend screens from holes in endcaps as shown. “S” hooks, chains (or cable) 

and turnbuckles should be provided by installer. “S” hooks should go through 

the front holes on the endcaps (see drawing on page 3), and both ends of the 

“S” hooks should be crimped for additional safety. Chains should be attached to 

beams or other structural members. Turnbuckles should be adjusted so screen 

hangs level.

Wall Installation:

Mount screen through holes in back of endcaps as shown. Installer should 

furnish screws, toggle bolts, molly bolts, nylon or lead anchors as required.

Wall Installation with 6" Extension Brackets:

Mount the brackets (not included with screen—see diagram on page 3) using 

hardware recommended for “Wall Installation” (above). Then, suspend the 

screen from the front holes with “S” hooks (as in “Suspended”). For added 

safety, be sure to 

crimp both ends of the “S” hooks so the screen cannot 

come off. For a more rigid installation, mount the screen from the back holes 

to the front of the bracket by using the screws and nuts provided with the 

brackets.

Wall or Ceiling Installation with Floating Brackets:

Floating brackets should be located on studs or joists. The bracket then 

attaches at any almost any point along the case. For details, see separate 

instruction sheet that ships with the Floating Wall Bracket.

Recessed Installation:

Recess should permit access for removal 

of screen if necessary. Screen may be 

mounted as in suspended or wall installation. 

Optional Ceiling Opening Trim Kit available; 

see diagrams at right and on page 3, and 

separate instruction sheet (included with 

Ceiling Opening Trim Kit).  

The Ceiling Opening Trim Kit is for use in 

an acoustical, drop ceiling only. Not recom-

mended for drywall or hard ceilings.

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.

Operation

Before operating screen remove tape securing fabric and dowel to roller. If view-

ing surface hangs out of case 8"-9", tape has probably been broken by rough han-

dling in shipment, allowing surface to “unwrap” one turn about the roller. Manually 

wrap fabric back around the roller without turning the roller itself.

110-120V Single Station Control — 3-position up-off-down switch permits opera-

tion 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 automati-

cally when fully down or fully up.

24V 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.

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 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.

Plug & Play

TM

Provided with handheld IR remote control transmitter and 

10' (3m) cord. No wiring necessary except to connect to RS232. Screen 

is equipped with a handheld remote or 3-position operating switch. Three 

positions (up-off-down) permit operation to be stopped at any point. Factory 

adjusted limit switches automatically stop screen when fully down or fully up.
