➅ Entire bottom of unit must be unobstructed to permit proper operation. Sufﬁcient clearance must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure: 4' for Model SL4, 5' for Model SL5, etc.; 11' for Model SLX11, 12' for Model SLX12, etc.

➆ Unit must be installed level (use a carpenter’s level).

➇ Unit operates on 110-120V AC 60 Hz. current.

Note: Unit has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found to be operating properly prior to shipment.

Planning

➀Based on screen location and projector speciﬁcations, determine proper

position for projector installation.

➁Conﬁrm 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 plenum rated housing.

➂Arrange to provide service access to the unit.

As Soon As Scissor Lift Arrives

➀Open carton and inspect for damage.

➁ Locate the following parts:

A.The unit itself

B.Controls

C.Any optional equipment: plenum housing, closure panel, ceiling ﬁnish kit or decorative cover (all ship in separate cartons).

➂Test lift prior to installation.

Hanging Unit

Please note: If using plenum housing option, go to plenum housing instructions on page 2.

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. Use a thread locking com- pound such as Loctite® #242 (provided). The unit should then be guy wired or blocked to prevent swinging.

All installations should observe the following guidelines:

➀Access from above the unit, with enough clearance to remove the top cover, should be provided in case service is required. If installing above a

hard ceiling, optional Draper Access Panels are available to allow access to the unit.

➁Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate strength to securely support Scissor Lift and projector.

➂Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely

anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken installation.

➃Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four threaded mounting rods.

➄ Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufﬁcient clearance

must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure: 4' for Model SL4, 5' for Model SL5, etc.; 11' for Model SLX11, 12' for Model SLX12, etc.

➅Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light ﬁxtures, etc.

➆Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have been completed and unit has been operated successfully.

➇We recommend that safety cables be attached to the Scissor Lift for added security (a sound installation practice with overhead equipment).

Electrical Connections

Unit operates on 110-120V AC, 60 Hz. current.

Removing the top cover of the unit and 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.

Scissor Lift should be operated and checked prior to installing projector and/or optional ceiling closure.

Standard switch shown below comes with 75' of cable and should be plugged in to box on front of top pan of lift to control lift.

Operation

When unit is ﬁrst operated, be cautious! If unit fails to operate when the toggle switch is ﬂipped “down”, return switch to “off” and recheck electrical connections before proceeding. Cycle unit down and up several times to conﬁrm satisfactory operation.

Standard Single Station Control—One 12V toggle switch: moving 3-position toggle switch to “down” position will start lift down. Moving toggle switch to “up” will start lift up. When lift is in “show” position, travel will automatically be stopped by factory set limit switches. Whenever switch is placed in center “off” position, operation will stop. One, 12V key switch will lower lift from “show” to “service” position.
