Overview

The Scissor Lift - SLX 115V is a ceiling-recessed video projector lift designed for discreet and secure projector installation. It is suitable for use in various environments, including those requiring compliance with environmental air space regulations.

Function Description:

The Scissor Lift - SLX 115V is designed to store a video projector above the ceiling and lower it to a "show position" for use, then retract it back into the ceiling when not in use. This mechanism ensures the projector is out of sight and protected when not in operation. The lift is controlled via various methods, including a low voltage control switch, key-operated switch, optional infrared (IR) control, and optional radio frequency (RF) control. It also supports serial communication (RS232/RS485) for integration into network control systems. The unit features adjustable limit switches to define the fully up (closed) and fully down (show/maintenance) positions, ensuring precise and repeatable operation. An optional environmental air space housing allows for installation in specific air spaces, while an optional ceiling closure provides a finished look that integrates with the surrounding ceiling.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Power: 115V AC, 60 Hz.
  • Current Draw: 14 amps total (2 amps for lift, 12 amps for outlet).
  • Weight Capacity (including cables, closure, projector, and bracket):
    • SLX10: 453 LBS (205KG)
    • SLX14: 435 LBS (197KG)
    • SLX17: 418 LBS (190KG)
    • SLX21: 393 LBS (178KG)
    • SLX24: 375 LBS (170KG)
    • SLX28: 350 LBS (159KG)
  • Minimum Projector Weight for Operation: 15 lbs. (to prevent cables from unspooling).
  • Projector Pan Adjustments: Can be moved forward or back for level and center of gravity adjustments.
  • Maximum Projector Size (with small closure): 18" x 8¾" (45.7 x 22.2 cm) (width x length x Environmental Air Space Housing height).
  • Maximum Projector Size (with large closure): 18" x 18" (45.7 x 45.7 cm) (width x length x housing height).
  • Closed Height (from 14 1/16" (35.6cm) for SLX10 to 25 5/16" (63.4cm) for SLX28).
  • Extended Height (from 10'7" (322.6cm) for SLX10 to 28'5" (866.1cm) for SLX28).
  • Control Ports: RJ45 connectors for wall switch, key switch, serial (RS-232, RS-485), IR eye, and low voltage trigger.
  • Serial Communication Settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, X On/X Off flow control.
  • Safety Certifications: cULus Listed.

Usage Features:

  • Multiple Control Options: Includes a 3-button Low Voltage Control (LVC-S) switch for UP-STOP-DOWN operation and a Key Operated Switch (SP-KSM) for service position control. Optional IR and RF transmitters are available for wireless control.
  • Programmable Show Position: The lift's "show position" can be easily programmed using a combination of the wall switch and key switch. This allows installers to set the exact desired projection height.
  • Adjustable Projector Pan: The projector pan can be adjusted forward or backward to achieve optimal projector alignment and balance, ensuring the projector is level and centered.
  • Environmental Air Space Housing (Optional): When installed with this housing, the unit is suitable for use in environmental air spaces, complying with relevant electrical codes (Section 300.22(C) of the National Electrical Code, and Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, CSA C22.1).
  • Ceiling Closure System (Optional): Integrates with the ceiling for a clean, concealed installation. The closure can be adjusted to stop just short of the ceiling in the closed position to prevent motor cycling and potential damage.
  • Delay Feature (Optional): An optional delay switch can be installed, which must be in the "Delay On" position for normal operation. It should be switched to "Off" when adjusting the show position.
  • Dry Contact Closure Support: Additional momentary switches or control systems using dry contact closure can be connected for multiple station control.
  • Universal Projector Mount (Optional): Draper's optional universal projector mount can be used to secure projectors weighing up to 26 lbs (12kg).

Maintenance Features:

  • Service Position: The key-operated switch allows the lift to be moved to a "service position," facilitating maintenance and adjustments.
  • Adjustable Limit Switches: The DOWN limit switch, which controls the fully down (maintenance) position, can be manually adjusted by loosening a screw to reduce travel. However, it's crucial not to set this lower than the preset factory limit setting or the show position.
  • Access for Servicing: Draper recommends installing an access panel in the ceiling to allow future access for maintenance.
  • Troubleshooting LED Feedback: The Data Cable Splitter Board provides LED feedback (flickering green for working, flickering orange for error) to assist with troubleshooting control connections.
  • Firmware Version Retrieval: Serial commands (GETFV1, GETFV2) allow retrieval of the main board and splitter board firmware versions, which can be useful for diagnostics and support.
  • Factory Reset: Serial commands (FS1, FS2) are available to restore the main board and splitter board to factory settings.

Safety Information:

  • Secure Installation: The lift must be securely attached to the building structure with adequate strength to support at least four times the combined weight of the lift, projector, housing, closure, and ceiling material.
  • Electrical Safety: Always disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician. The product must be connected to a properly grounded electrical supply.
  • Pinch Point Awareness: Users are warned to beware of pinch points during operation.
  • Obstruction Avoidance: Do not obstruct the lift's operation with fingers or any objects. The bottom of the unit must remain unobstructed.
  • Weight Requirement: Do not operate the Scissor Lift without a minimum of 15 lbs. of weight attached to the pan to prevent cables from unspooling.
  • Authorized Personnel: Operation and calibration should only be performed by authorized, qualified, and experienced professionals.
  • Locking Switch Cover: For installations where the show position descends less than 8 feet above the floor, a locking switch cover MUST be installed over the 3-button wall switch to prevent unauthorized operation.
  • Pre-installation Testing: The lift should be tested prior to installation and the entire system, including all sensors, should be carefully tested after installation to ensure safe and normal operation.
