Installation/Operating Instructions
Silhouette/Series E & V Electric Projection Screen by Draper
Installation
Your Draper screen can be mounted on a wall or suspended from the ceiling,
or mounted on special 6" or 12" extension brackets. Extension brackets must
be ordered separately from Draper.With each method of installation, the case
must be mounted level and with the flat back parallel to the wall.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the hardware which comes with
the screen or is specified in these instructions.
The screen (or extension brackets) should be mounted into studs or block-
ing in the wall/ceiling, or in drywall (minimum thickness
1
/ 2 ") with specified
anchors.For any other type of installation, follow all local building and safety
codes.
Steel studs, concrete or cinder block walls and all other types of non-wood
frame construction require the use of special screws or anchors.The selection
of appropriate mounting hardware should be made by a qualified professional
installer.
When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen’s operation,
remember surface is centered in case.
Take care to install wall/ceiling electrical box and conduit so they will be fully
concealed by the screen case after installation.
Handle case carefully to avoid scratching.
Regardless of mounting method, screen should be positively and securely
supported 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.
Ceiling/Suspended Mounting
Locate 2 offset ceiling brackets (supplied) and slide these into the channel
on top of screen case by angling one side of bracket under lip of channel and
opposite side of bracket above notch in opposite channel lip.
Allow bracket to drop against bottom of channel and then slide it along case
until it stops against end cap of case.Tighten 2 set screws to lock bracket in
place.Make sure that the flange of the ceiling bracket that has 4 holes is ex-
tended beyond the end caps of the case.Repeat above procedure for second
ceiling bracket, making sure to slide it towards opposite end of case.
Wall Mounting
Mount 2, 3, or 4 aluminum brackets provided (“Z” Clips) on the wall at desired
height, using appropriate fasteners.Verify that they are in line and level to fully
engage with the mounting lip on back of screen case. 1
5
/ 8 " of free space is
required above the “Z” Clips to allow case lip to be engaged over the lip of the
“Z” Clips.
Engage the lip on back of screen case with lip of “Z” Clip and gently pull down
to fully engage case to brackets.
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.
Caution
➀Read instructions through completely before proceeding; keep them for
future reference.Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to
instructions invalidates warranty. Care in mounting and correct oper-
ation will mean long and satisfactory service from your Draper screen.
➁Screen should be accessible for complete removal should fabric
become damaged or should other service be required.
➂Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
➃Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel or viewing surface
➄Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not
discard with packing material.
➅Screen 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.

and 2 holes towards the back edge. Installer must use at least 2 fasteners
per bracket with one fastener in one of the two holes closest to back edge
of bracket, and one fastener in one of the two hole closest to front edge of
bracket.Installer must insure that fasteners are of adequate strength and suit-
able for the mounting surface chosen.

Removing Case Fascia
Case fascia is removable to access roller assembly.To remove fascia, depress
outward the spring lip located inside lower front corner of screen case and
pull lower corner of fascia outward.Repeat this at right end of case.Support
fascia from center and rotate lower front edge upward approximately 40° to
disengage the Roll-Lok hinge at the top front of screen case. Fascia can now
be completely removed from case.
To install fascia, generally reverse instructions above making sure the Roll-
Lok hinge is completely engaged before rotating fascia down towards the
closed position. Depress spring clips outward, push lower corners of fascia
inward until lips of spring clips hook behind fascia.
Electrical Connections
Screen operates on 110-120v, 60 Hz. current.
Junction box is located at left end of screen. It is accessible through front of
screen case after fascia is removed.(See instructions above for removing
fascia.)
Electrical supply wires can enter through the back or top of case.For top
entry, remove plug from top conduit hole and snap plug into hole on back side
of case.
Junction box contains red, black, and white pigtail leads and green internal
ground wire per wiring diagram attached.
If optional low voltage control or video interface control is specified and factory
installed, please refer to wiring diagram on page 3.
Wall or ceiling electrical box should be installed so as to be fully concealed by
screen case after installation.
Screen is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully
boxed.Wire to connect screen to switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply
should be furnished by installer. Connections should be made in accordance
with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and
local electrical codes.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Operation
Before operating screen, remove any shipping brackets or tape securing fab-
ric and dowel to the roller. If viewing surface hangs out of case 8" or 9", tape
has probable been broken by rough handling in shipment, allowing surface to
“unwrap” one turn off the roller. Manually wrap fabric back around the roller
without turning the roller itself.
When screen is first operated, be cautious! Cycle unit down and up several
times to confirm satisfactory operation.
110-120v SINGLE STATION CONTROL—3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch
permits operation 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 ap-
pearance 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 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.
110-120v & 12v VIDEO INTERFACE CONTROL—Allows screen to be con-
trolled by a trigger signal—when the signal comes on, the screen descends
automatically.Two versions: Model VIC115 integrates screen operation with
a DRAPER video projector lift or a video projector or tuner with a 110-120v
switch outlet. Model VIC12 interfaces with a 12V switch outlet.Both available
with an override switch (VIC–OS), permitting independent operation.VIC–OS
not available with factory installed VIC115 & VIC12.
KEY OPERATED SWITCHING—Two kinds of key-operated switches are
optionally available with this unit.
➀The 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.
➁A 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.
Adjustments
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit

switches.Always be prepared to shut screen off manually when new ad-
justment is being tested. Screen may be severely damaged if viewing surface
is allowed to run too far up or too far down.
Adjusting “fully up” position — “Up” stopping position may be adjusted by
turning the yellow limit switch adjustment socket.The yellow socket is located
on left end of screen roller.Turning the socket counterclockwise will allow the
viewing surface to retract farther into the case.Turning it clockwise will cause
the surface to stop farther out of the case.One full revolution of the socket will
alter the stopping position of the viewing surface by approximately 1".
Adjusting “fully down” position — “Down” stopping position may be
adjusted by turning the white limit switch adjustment socket.The white socket
is located on the left end of screen roller.Turning the socket counterclockwise
will allow the viewing surface to run farther down.Turning it clockwise will
shorten the viewing surface, causing it to stop in a less extended position.
AT NO TIME SHOULD VIEWING SURFACE BE UNROLLED ENOUGH TO
EXPOSE ANY PART OF SCREEN ROLLER.
If you encounter any difficulties installing or servicing your screen, call your
dealer or Draper, Inc., Spiceland, Indiana, [phone]; fax (765) 987-
7142; or e-mail [email protected].
