Installation/Operating Instructions
SLX Scissor Lift 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 3.
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:
①If installing above a hard ceiling, optional Draper Access Panels are
available to allow access to the unit.
②Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate
strength to securely support Scissor Lift and projector.
③Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken
installation.
④Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four
threaded mounting rods.
⑤Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufficient clearance
must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure.
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 "Closed"
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, call your dealer
or Draper, Inc. in Spiceland, Indiana, 765-987-7999, or fax [phone].
⑥Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light fixtures, etc.
⑦Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have
been completed and unit has been operated successfully.
⑧We recommend that safety cables be attached to the Scissor Lift SLX for
added security (a sound installation practice with overhead equipment).
⑨When 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.”

“down” button is pressed, press “off” and recheck electrical connections before
proceeding. Cycle unit down and up several times to confirm satisfactory
operation.
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 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.

Installing Projector
Generally, the video projector should be suspended from the Projector
Pan according to projector manufacturer’s instructions and recommended
standard ceiling mounting hardware.
The Scissor Lift SLX has a grounded 110-120V AC, 60 Hz power cord for
projector power supply. The power cord is laced down the back scissor and is
“hot” at all times.
Control cables should be laced through our Cable Management System.
Make sure to use flexible cables, and to allow enough cable at each turn
so cables do not stretch or kink. This will ensure that cords do not become
tangled and damaged during Scissor Lift SLX operation.
Unit and projection system should be operated, checked and adjusted as
necessary at this time.
NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, units should
be operated to confirm that optional ceiling closure panel stops just short of
touching ceiling in closed position.
Warning: Keep fingers and other objects away from automatic ceiling
closure and scissor mechanisms when unit is operating. Serious injury or
damage could result.

Installing Optional Ceiling Closure
If your Scissor Lift SLX is equipped with optional ceiling closure, it can be used
as is, or in conjunction with a square of existing ceiling tile (see Fig. 5).
①If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so that its overall
dimensions are the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place tile
into trim frame. Lay closure panel on top (back side) of ceiling tile, and tighten
screws to hold in place.
②Attach provided angle brackets to side of Bottom Panel of Scissor Lift SLX.
③Attach
5
/ 16 " threaded rods to angle bracket.
④Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark position on
5
/ 16 "
rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).
⑤Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
⑥Attach closure to lower end of
5
/ 16 " rods by slipping into four corner slots and
secure with nuts above and below slots.
Caution: Make sure nuts are completely tightened.
⑦Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel fails to
reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.
⑧Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of
5
/ 16 " rods in traveling grid to raise
panel required distance.
⑨Test unit operation to confirm that panel will stop in closed position just before
touching ceiling.
Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit. This could
create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.
PLEASE NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling,
unit should be operated to confirm that optional ceiling closure panel by
Draper or by others stops
1
/ 8 " short of touching ceiling in closed position.
If closure panel touches, the motor may continue operating after the lift is
closed. If it continues to cycle once the lift is closed, a motor failure may
occur.

Installing Projector Using Universal Projector Mount
The universal projector mount includes:
-2 x long arms
-4 x short arms
-4 x M3, 4 x M4, 4 x M5 and 4 x M6 mounting bolts (30mm in length)
-4 spacers (½" [13 mm], 5/8" [16 mm], ¾" [19 mm], 7/8" [22 mm])
①Determine which size mounting bolts suit your projector, and set others
aside. They are no longer required. If your projector has only three
mounting holes, set aside one of the mounting arms (see Fig. 3).
②Attach the appropriate mounting arms to the rectangular plate via center
bolt. Spread out the arms so each end is over one of the mounting holes.
③Connect projector mounting arms.
④Tighten the mounting bolts.
⑤Use the ¼" (6.35 mm)-20 bolts and springs which hold the rectangular
plate to the bottom pan to adjust roll and tilt (the springs will ensure that the
projector is held still during motion). The center 5/16" (8 mm) bolt provides
Yaw adjustment (see Fig. 4).

Limit Adjustments
Adjustments
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit
switch. Always be prepared to shut lift off manually when new adjustment is
being tested. Please refer to wiring diagram.
Limit switches for the Scissor Lift SLX are preset at the factory. The “Up”
(closed) limit switch is set for fully closed. The “down” (show) limit switch is set
for "Show" position for the size lift you have ordered. The limit switch assembly
is located inside the lift and behind the Lifting Cable Drum.
Adjusting “Down” (show) position—“Down” position may be adjusted by
Turning the Limit Switch Adjustment Knob.
Adjusting “Up” (closed) position—Because the “up” (closed) position is
preset at the factory, Draper does not recommend changing this position
using the limit switch. The “up” position of the closure may be changed by
changing the length of threaded rod used to attach the closure (see closure
instruction section).
Caution: Do not adjust the threaded rods so that the motor is still
running after the lift is closed.This could result in damage to the motor.
Controls plug into the data cable inputs on the Control Panel,
which is located on the Top Frame on the front side of the lift,
using RJ14 connectors.
For IR or RF Remote Control, use data cable with RJ14
connectors on both ends.
Please Note:
Data cable connections must be made using electrically straight 4-conductor
modular cable (RJ14). If making your own cables, this means colors do not cross
over: blue leads to blue, green to green, etc. (see diagram below).
Please Note: When adjusting
the limit switch, make sure
the bracket engages the
outside edge of the snap
switch.

Installing Optional Environmental Air Space Housing
The Environmental Air Space Housing is shipped in pieces, and must be
assembled by the installer. The height of the Environmental Air Space Hous-
ing can be adjusted by moving the screws to different mounting holes in side
panels. Aluminum tape is provided to cover unused holes. It is recommended
that an access panel be installed in the ceiling to allow future access. The
optional environmental air space housing must be installed per instructions to
isolate the lift from the “other space used for environmental air.”
Caution: Be careful when handling Environmental Air Space
Housing Panels. The panels could have sharp edges.
