Hanging Unit
Please note: If using Environmental Air Space Housing option, see
installation instructions included with Environmental Air Space Housing.
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
3
/ 8 "
threaded mounting rods or bolts with locking nuts. 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:
If installing above a hard ceiling, optional Draper Access Panels are available to
allow access to the unit.
Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate strength to
securely support Scissor Lift and projector.
Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken installation.
Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four
threaded mounting rods.
Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufficient clearance must
be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure.
Unit must be secured independent from suspended ceiling and do not use unit
to support adjacent ceiling, light fixtures, etc.
Unit to be installed so when lowered to its lowest point, it is a minimum of 8 feet
(2.44 m) above the floor.
Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have been
completed and unit has been operated successfully.
We recommend that safety cables be attached to the Scissor Lift SL for added
security (a sound installation practice with overhead equipment).
When the Scissor Lift SL is to be installed in “other space used for en-
vironmental air” the optional Environmental Air Space Housing must be
installed per instructions to isolate the lift from the “other space used for
environmental air.”
 When Scissor Lift SL is NOT installed in environmental air space housing and
optional ceiling closure, the ALTERNATE wiring for 'UP' limit switch may be
used. Disconnect both BLACK (BK) wires from 'UP' limit switch and quick
connect them together usingthe provided jumper cable (see Alternate Wiring
schematic on page 5).

Operation
Before operating or testing the unit, make sure the packaging has been
removed from the unit. Remove the corrugated block from the cardboard sleeve
(bottom-most packaging material), then collapse the sleeve and remove it, along
with the rest of the packaging. Next, using the 3 button switched, 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. You must also do this if the
Scissor Lift ever loses or is disconnected from the power.
When unit is first operated, be cautious! If unit fails to operate properly, press
“STOP” and recheck electrical connections before proceeding. Cycle unit down
and up several times to confirm satisfactory operation.

Installing Projector Using Universal Projector Mount
(Maximum Capacity 26 lbs)
See Installation Instructions included with Universal Pojector Mount.
Scissor Lift SL by Draper page 3 of 6
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. Projector should be bolted to Projector Pan as in a
normal ceiling mounting. Equipment should not be allowed to rest on optional
ceiling closure during operation.
The Scissor Lift SL has a grounded 115V AC, 60 Hz outlet for projector power
supply.
Control cables should be laced through our Cable Management System on
rear scissor mechanism only. Route the cables and attach with plastic wire ties
similar to factory installed power cable. Make sure to use flexible cables. Plenum
rated cables are typically too stiff and should not be used. Installer is responsible
for ensuring cables do not stretch, kink, or interfere with the scissor mechanism as
the unit raises and lowers. This will ensure that cords do not become tangled and
damaged during Scissor Lift SL 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 SL is equipped with optional ceiling closure, it can be
used as is, or in conjunction with a square of existing ceiling tile.
See installation instructions included with ceiling closure.
www
.draperinc.com [phone]
Installing Optional Ceiling Trim Kit
The Scissor Lift SL is available with a ceiling trim kit, which consists of
the lower section of the Environmental Air Space Housing and the optional
closure panel. See installation instructions included with Ceiling Trim Kit.
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 is set by drilling out the knockouts at the desired locations then using
screws to connect side panels. 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 to isolate the lift from the “other space used
for environmental air.” Includes trim ring for ceiling opening.
See installation instructions included with Environmental Air Space Housing.
Please Note: When using the Environmental Air Space House "SL" size,
the mounting brackets attached to the top four corners of the Scissor
Lift SL must be removed, and replaced with brackets which are shipped
with the Environmental Air Space Housing (see Fig. 5).
Please Note: The factory wiring of 'UP' Limit Switch MUST ALWAYS
be used when SL is installed in Environmental Air Space Housing and

Scissor Lift SL Inspection and Maintenance
Draper recommends inspecting the Scissor Lift SL at least annually or
every 300 cycles—whichever comes first.
A recommended maintenance schedule includes:
-Cables:
Check for fraying.
-Drive Chain Gears:
Check for rust, breaks, secure attachment.
-Fasteners along scissor arm assemblies:
Make sure they are not loose. If any are loose, hand tighten the nuts.
Please Note:
There is no need to tighten nut in the top scissor which slides back and forth
in the side slot in the lift. Tightening this fasteners assembly will cause the unit
to lock up and lead to damage to the unit.
-Closure:
Make sure threaded rod remains seated firmly in the closure panel
corners, and that nuts remain tight. If they are loose, tighten them.

Clearing and Resetting Show Position
CLEARING THE SHOW POSITION AT CURRENT SHOW POSITION:
Move lift to the show position.
While lift is at the show position press and hold the Key Up toggle
switch and release once the Lift begins moving upward.
The show position is now cleared and ready for a new show position
to be set.
PROCEDURE FOR SETTING SHOW POSITION:
Now that the show position has been cleared, use wall switch up and down
buttons to get lift into desired show position.
While lift is at desired show position, press and hold the Key Down toggle
switch until lift begins to move upward. Lift will begin a calibration cycle
where it will move upward for two seconds, stop then move down for one
second and then the Lift will return to the desired show position.
PLEASE NOTE: At this point the Key Switch will not operate until
the new “Show Position” has been set. Also the 3-Button Wall Switch
changes into a maintain, push and hold type button, for continuous
movement.This allows for easy setting of new “Show Position”)
Optional Delay Feature
When the Optional Delay Feature is installed the Delay Switch must be in
the "Delay On" position for normal operation.
If the Optional Delay Feature is installed and the "Show Position" requires
adjusting, then the "Delay Switch" must be switched to OFF while adjusting
the show position.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: If the Scissor Lift loses power, the DOWN
function will not work until you operate the lift in the UP
direction using the wall switch. This allows the lift's control
encoder to recognize it's "home" location.
NOTICE - Delay Feature Will
Not Operate Properly Without
The Optional Current Sensor
Connected To The Lift.
KEEP DELAY IN OFF POSITION WHEN
CURRENT SENSOR IS NOT USED
Please Note:
