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 6" or 10"-14" 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 wall extension brackets) should be mounted into studs or
blocking in the wall/ceiling, or in drywall (minimum thickness
1
/ 2 ") with speci-
fied 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 two offset ceiling brackets (supplied) and slide these into the chan-
nel on top of screen case by aligning the chamfered edges of each bracket
parallel to the channel length. Allow bracket to drop against bottom of channel
and then rotate bracket counter-clockwise. Slide one bracket to each end of
screen case until it stops against end cap of case. Tighten two set screws
to lock bracket in place. Make sure that the flange of the ceiling bracket that
has four holes is extended 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 two, three or four 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
1Read 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.
2Screen should be accessible for complete removal should fabric
become damaged or should other service be required.
3Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
4Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel or viewing surface
5Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not
discard with packing material.
6Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 hz., 1.1 amp current draw.
NOTE: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and
found to be operating properly prior to shipment.

"Z" Clip
(wall mounting bracket
supplied with Silhouette)
Ceiling bracket in
channel of case
To mount against ceiling, hold screen case against ceiling and mark mount-
ing hole locations. Each bracket has two holes towards the front edge and
two holes towards the back edge. Installer must use at least two 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.
If you encounter any difficulties installing or servicing your screen, call your dealer
or Draper, Inc., Spiceland, Indiana, [phone] or fax [phone].
To mount suspended from ceiling, the brackets need to be installed on
screen case as noted on page 1. Use “S” Hooks through the holes in the
brackets to attach to ceiling. Select the set of holes that allows the screen to
hang in a vertical position. The installer is to provide the "S" Hooks and the
materials and fasteners to attach the “S” Hooks to the ceiling. Installer must
insure that the fasteners and suspension material is of adequate strength and
suitable for the mounting surface chosen.

Removing Case Fascia
Caution: When removing or reattaching fascia, do not handle fascia
by unpainted ends.
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.
Please Note: Be sure the clips are completely up against the ends of the
fascia.
Electrical Connections
Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz., 1.1 amp current draw. Duty Cycle: ON
28 seconds/OFF 4 minutes.
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, please
refer to wiring diagrams on pages 4-5.
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. Please Note: Screen must be installed in
accordance with the requirements of the Local Building Codes, the Cana-
dian Electrical Code (CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code
(NEC), NFPA 70. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part
of the building installation.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Plug-in power cord option available on units with built-in low voltage controller.
For Reconfiguration/Conversion of Non-detachable Power Cord to
Field Wiring for Models SLE-28, SLE-30, SLV-28 and SLV-30 Only:
1Disconnect cord plug from outlet.
2Remove junction box cover.
3Disconnect wire nut connections from black, white and green wires.
4Remove power cord and strain relief.
5Connect the black from motor to "hot" supply wire.
6Connect white wire from motor to "neutral" supply wire.
7Connect green/yellow ground to "ground" supply wire.
8Replace junction box cover.
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 probably 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 down or fully up.
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 down or fully up.
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.
1The 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.
2A 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

Limit Adjustments (Built-in Low Voltage Motors)
Please Note: Screen limits are factory set for optimum performance of the
screen. Any adjustment of these limits could void the warranty. Please
check with Draper prior to resetting screen limits.
CAUTION: Always be prepared to shut screen off manually when new
adjustment is being tested. Screen may be severely damaged if viewing
surface is allowed to run too far up or too far down.
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit
switches. (Height adjustments are made from wall switch)
1Connect the ILT switch to the motor via the terminal blocks, or via the
modular port using four conductor modular cable. When using modular
cable, the cable connectors MUST NOT be crimped in reverse, as with
standard telephone cable.
2Set the slide switch to the lower position. Press and hold the DOWN button
on the switch to move the viewing surface to the desired lower limit. If the
screen moves in the opposite direction, release the DOWN button and
press and hold down the STOP button for four seconds. This will reverse
the operation of the UP and DOWN switches.
3Move slider switch into center position. Wait a couple of seconds.
Please Note: If you move the slider switch from down to up in one mo-
tion it sets the two limits in the same position.
4Set the slide switch to the higher position. Move the viewing surface to the
desired upper limit by pressing and holding the UP button on the wall
switch.
5Return the slide switch to the center position to return to normal operation.
6To set the viewing surface to an alternate format position, move the viewing
surface to the desired position and press the STOP button. Press and hold
the STOP button for at least three seconds to record the position.
Please Note: Pressing and releasing the UP button on the switch will move
the screen to its upper limit. Pressing and releasing the DOWN button will
move the screen to its lower limit.
While the motor is in motion, pressing the STOP button for less than two
seconds will stop the viewing surface at its present position.
Once the motor is stopped, pressing the STOP button will move the view-
ing surface to its alternate format position.
Pressing and holding the STOP button, when the motor is at rest or in mo-
tion, for at least three seconds will record a new alternate format position.
Limit Adjustments—Standard Motor
Please Note: Screen limits are factory set for optimum performance of
the screen. A procedure is outlined below for minor tweaks, but any ad-
justment of these limits may negatively affect the flatness of the screen
surface and could also void the warranty. Please check with Draper prior
to resetting screen limits.
CAUTION: Always be prepared to shut screen off manually when new
adjustment is being tested. Screen may be severely damaged if viewing
surface is allowed to run too far up or too far down.
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting
limit switches.
The motor limit screws are normally located on the audience left of screen
roller.
"DOWN" LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
