Before installing or operating your Draper Luma 2 projection screen, you must remove the shipping support brackets located at each end of the dowel. Failure to do so may damage the screen or prevent proper operation. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the unit and that all hardware is installed level.
Removing Shipping Brackets
The shipping brackets must be removed before the initial operation and before the screen is operated in the UP direction:
- Remove fasteners from the bracket clamps.
- Run the screen DOWN to expose the dowel screws.
- Loosen screws and remove the shipping bracket.
- Retighten the dowel endcap screws.
- Raise and lower the viewing surface several times to confirm satisfactory operation.
Installation Methods
The Luma 2 screen supports several mounting configurations. Always ensure the screen is securely supported so that vibration or pulling will not cause the case to fall.
Wall Installation
Mount the screen through the holes in the back of the endcaps using appropriate hardware (screws, toggle bolts, molly bolts, or anchors) suitable for your wall type.
Suspended Installation
Suspend the screen from the holes in the endcaps using S-hooks, chains, or cables. S-hooks must go through the front holes on the endcaps, and both ends of the S-hooks must be crimped for safety. Adjust turnbuckles to ensure the screen hangs level.
Optional Mounting
- Extension Brackets: Use for wall installation when extra clearance is needed.
- Floating Brackets: Allow for mounting on studs or joists at various points along the case.
- Recessed Installation: Requires the optional Ceiling Opening Trim Kit. Ensure the recess allows access for screen removal.
Operating the Screen
To lower the viewing surface: Grasp the center of the dowel and pull down. Hesitate, then allow the screen to retract very slowly until it locks in place.
To raise the viewing surface: Pull the screen down and, if fully down, slightly outward (at a 20-degree angle). Give the screen a quick flick and allow it to retract, controlling the speed so it does not collide with the case.
Note: If the surface stops between the full up or full down positions, it will not retract completely. Lower the viewing surface to the full down position and then let it retract completely without stopping.
Safety Information
Improper installation can result in serious injury or death. Installation should be performed by an authorized, qualified professional. Never leave the area while operating the unit. Ensure no persons or objects are underneath the unit during testing or operation.
