Caution:
1
Read instructions completely before proceeding.
2
Test lift prior to installation.
Please Note: Packaging must be removed from lift
before testing.
3
Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions invalidates warranty.
4
Do not obstruct operation of Scissor Lift SLX with fingers or any object. Serious
injury or damage could result.
5
Maximum lifting capacity is 350 Lbs.
6
Scissor Lift SLX is designed to accommodate ceiling suspended equipment.
Equipment should not be allowed to rest on optional ceiling closure during
operation (refer to section titled “Installing Projector”).
7
Entire bottom of unit must be unobstructed to permit proper operation. Sufficient clear-
ance must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure: 10' for Model SLX10,
14' for Model SLX14, etc.
8
Unit must be installed level (use a carpenter’s level).
9
Unit operates on 110-120V AC 60 Hz. current.
10
Verify the show position when testing lift. Make required changes by referring to
adjustment instructions on page 4 of this document.
11
The maintenance/service factory limit setting must not be adjusted to a lower
position than the preset factory limit setting. In addition, Draper does not
recommend setting show position at the maintenance/service position—for
example, if you wish to have 8' Show position, order a lift with at least a 10'
maintenance position.
CAUTION: Before servicing unit, disconnect hardwired control and any
remote control.
Note:
Unit has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found to be
operating properly prior to shipment.
Planning
1
Based on screen location and projector specifications, determine proper
position for projector installation.
2
Confirm that there is adequate space for installation and operation. Minimum
clearance above ceiling level varies according to Scissor Lift model, plus height
of projector, optional mounting bracket, optional ceiling closure, and optional
Environmental Air Space Housing.
3
Arrange to provide service access to the unit.
4
Maximum lifting capacity is 350 Lbs.
As Soon As Scissor Lift Arrives
1
Open carton and inspect for damage.
2
Locate the following parts:
A. The unit itself
B. Controls
C. Optional equipment: Environmental Air Space Housing, Universal
Projector Mount, closure panel or ceiling finish kit (all ship in separate
cartons).
3
Test lift prior to installation.
Please Note: Packaging must be removed from
lift before testing.
Installation/Operating Instructions
Scissor Lift SLX Video Projector Lift by Draper
Hanging Unit
Please note: If using Environmental Air Space Housing option, go to
Environmental Air Space Housing instructions on page 7.
The Scissor Lift may be installed in a variety of ways; recessed above the
ceiling, or suspended below the ceiling. The lift should be supported by four ½"
threaded mounting rods. If ceiling recessed, the entire unit (including the projector)
should set approximately 1½" above the finished ceiling in its “stored” position. The
threaded rods should pass through the corner mounting flanges and be secured
by nuts above and below. The unit should then be guy wired or blocked to prevent
swinging.
All installations should observe the following guidelines:
1
If installing above a hard ceiling, optional Draper Access Panels are available to
allow access to the unit.
2
Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate strength to
securely support Scissor Lift and projector.
3
Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken installation.
4
Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four
threaded mounting rods.
5
Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufficient clearance must
be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure.
6
Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, 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 Scissor Lift SLX for
Electrical Connections
Unit operates on 110-120V AC, 60 Hz. current.
Opening the electrical box exposes terminals for field connections. Unit is shipped
with internal wiring complete.Wire to connect unit to power supply should be
furnished by installer. Connections should be made in accordance with wiring
diagram, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes. All
operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Caution: Make sure electrical supply has been disconnected before
attempting to connect Scissor Lift to electricity.
Scissor Lift should be operated and checked prior to installing projector and/or
optional ceiling closure.
Low Voltage Control Switch shown below comes with 75' of cable and should be
plugged in to Control Panel on top frame of lift for control of the "Up" and "Show"
positions. Momentary Key Switch shown below comes with 75' of cable and should
be plugged in to Control Panel on top frame of lift for control of the "Service"
position.

If you encounter any difficulties installing or servicing your Scissor Lift SLX, call your
dealer or Draper, Inc. in Spiceland, Indiana, 765-987-7999, or fax 765-987-7142.
added security (a sound installation practice with overhead equipment).
9
When the Scissor Lift SLX is to be installed in “other space used for
environmental air” the optional environmental air space housing must
be installed per instructions to isolate the lift from the “other space
used for environmental air.”
Operation
Before operating or testing the unit, make sure the packaging has been
removed from the unit. This can be accomplished by removing the eight screws
(four per side) holding the packing frame to the lift. Once the packaging is all
removed, operate the lift in the "Up" direction, so the lift's control encoder will
recognize it's "home" location. Until you do this, the Down function will not work.
When unit is first operated, be cautious! If unit fails to operate properly, press
“off” and recheck electrical connections before proceeding. Cycle unit down and
up several times to confirm satisfactory operation.
You must also do this if the
Scissor Lift ever loses or is disconnected from the power.
Caution: Do not pull on or touch safety belt when unit is in motion. If belt
locks, the cables will unspool.
Caution: Obstructing bottom pan may cause cables to unspool.
Standard Single Station Low Voltage Control (See Fig. 1)—
One three-button
switch with “Up”, “Down”, and “Off” buttons. Lift starts up or down when appropriate
button is pressed, and may be stopped by pressing “Off” button. Factory set
limit switches stop lift automatically when projector is in “show” position. One
momentary key switch lowers lift from “Show” to “Service” position.
Optional Multiple Station Control
—Optional, moves lift from “Stored” to “Show”
position only. Each switching station has a three-button switch with “Up”, “Down”,
and “Off” buttons. Lift starts up or down when appropriate button is pressed,
and may be stopped by pressing “Off” button. Factory set limit switches stop lift
automatically when projector is in “Show” position.
Optional Key Operated Switch—
If ordered, the standard LVC-S can be replaced
with a second single station, momentary key-operated three position (up/off/down)
switch. Multiple Station Control required for this option. Moves lift from “stored” to
“show” position only.
Optional Infrared or Radio Frequency Remote Control—
If ordered, a three-
button transmitter is provided, with “up”, “down”, and “stop” buttons. Unit starts up
or down when appropriate button is pressed, and may be stopped by pressing
“off” button. Factory set limit switches stop unit automatically when projector is in
“show” position. Only controls "show" and "stored" positions.
Optional RS232 Control—
For Serial communication an R2D7 Serial
Communications Interface is optionally available.
Low Voltage Trigger—
Input provided for Low Voltage Trigger from projector (see
diagram on page 4).
Please Note: Scissor Lift SLX 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, as
required. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part of the
building installation.
