Caution
➀ Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
➁ Follow instructions carefully. Installation con trary to in struc tions
invalidates warranty.
➂ Entire bottom of screen case should be un ob struct ed to permit prop er
operation of automatic trap door, and access to bottom panel for
making electrical connections or servicing.
➃ Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
➄ Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel, viewing surface or
auto matic trap door.
➅ Do not touch screen while in motion.
➆ Operating switch(es) packed separately in screen carton. Do not
discard with packing material.
➇ Screen operates on 110-120v, 60 hz., .78 amp draw.
NOTE: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and
found to be operating properly prior to shipment.
Hanging Screen
General:
When locating viewing surface and checking clear ance for screen operation,
remember surface is not centered in case; it is offset to audience’s right (see
drawing on back). Normally viewing surface, not case, should be centered in
room.
Screen is nor mal ly re cessed above ceil ing and may be in stalled in a varie ty
of ways. See typical in stal la tion detailed on back of this sheet. Re gard less of
mount ing method used, the following points apply:
➀ Screen should be positively and securely sup port ed so that vibration or
even abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken in stal la tion.
➁ Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and
suitable for the mounting surface chosen. Screen must be level for
satisfactory operation. Use car pen ter’s level.
➂ Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation.
(Operating door must be free to open; access door must open to permit
electrical connections and limit switch adjustment; semi-permanent bottom
panel must be re mov able in case fabric replacement is ever required.)
➃ Hinge on bottom board and particularly hinge on automatic trap door of
screen must be per mit ted to operate freely. Front and back of case must
be straight—not forced to warp or bow. Hinges must be free from mas tic or
paint buildup, and doors must be un ob struct ed by ceiling tiles.
➄ Do not use screen case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.
➅ If trim pieces must be attached to case, do not permit screws to pro trude
through ¾" wall of case. Do not attach trim with nails.
➆ Extended hinges are available to allow gluing of ceiling tile when recessed.
➇ If case is painted, slots around doors should be shielded to protect view ing
surface from paint splatters or overspray.
➈ Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and
screen has been operated successfully.
Electrical Connections
Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 hz., .78 amp draw.
Junction box for electrical hook-up is located at left end of screen and may be
exposed by opening access door and removing box cover.
Removal of junc tion box cover plate ex poses red, black and white pigtail leads
and green in ter nal ground wire per wiring di a gram on reverse.
Screen is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully
boxed. Wire connecting 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.
Adjustments
Screen has been factory set and should not nor mal ly require further
ad just ment. However, if you desire to change the “up” and “down” stop ping
positions, proceed as follows:
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before ad just ing limit
switches. Always be pre pared to shut screen off man u al ly when new
ad just ment is being tested. Screen may be se vere ly dam aged if viewing
surface is al lowed to run too far up or too far down.
Adjusting “fully up” position — “Up” limit switch is located on bracket at left
end of operating door. Raising switch slightly will permit door to close farther;
lowering switch will cause door not to close as far.
Adjusting “fully down” position — “Down” limit switch is located on left side
of limit switch assembly immediately behind access door on left end of case.
Left hand, hex head machine screw contacts limit switch button to shut screen
off in “Down” position. Turning this ma chine screw clockwise will allow viewing
surface to run farther down before stopping. Turning it coun ter clock wise will
cause surface to stop in a less extended position.
At no time should view ing surface be un rolled far enough to ex pose any part
of screen roller. Be sure nut on machine screw is tight against steel plate
before closing access door.
If you encounter any diffi culty installing or ser vic ing your Ambassador screen, call your
dealer or Draper, Inc., Spiceland, Indiana, (765) 987-7999 or fax (765) 987-7142.
Operation
When screen is fi rst op er at ed, be cautious! If au to mat ic trap door does not
drop open im me di ate ly when switch is fl ipped “down”, re turn switch to “off”
and free trap door and/or recheck elec tri cal con nec tions before proceeding.
Cycle unit down and up several times to confi rm sat is fac to ry operation.
110-120v Single Station Con trol — 3-position up-off-down switch per mits
op er a tion to be stopped at any point. Factory adjusted limit switch es
automatically stop screen when fully down or fully up.
110-120v Multiple Station Control—Switches are similar in ap pear ance
to 110-120v Single Station Control. Screen stops when switch is re leased
and may be re start ed in either direction. Factory adjusted limit switch es stop
screen au to mat i cal ly when fully up or fully down.
24v Control — Three-button up-stop-down switch es stop at any point desired,
operate in any sequence. Factory adjusted limit switches au to mat i cal ly stop
screen when fully up or fully down.
Key Operated Switching — Two kinds of key-operated switches are
op tion al ly available with this unit. ➀ The key-operated power sup ply 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. ➁ A three-po si tion key switch per mits 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.
