from both bracket clamps that are
attached to the screen case.

bracket clamp fasteners attached

Installation

Your Draper screen can be mounted on a wall or suspended from the ceiling,
or mounted on 6" or 10"-14" extension brackets. Extension brackets must be
ordered separately from Draper. With each method of installation, the case
must be mounted level and with the flat back parallel to the wall.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the hardware which comes with
the screen or is specified in these instructions.
The screen (or wall extension brackets) should be mounted into studs or
blocking in the wall/ceiling, or in drywall (minimum thickness
anchors. For any other type of installation, follow all local building and safety
codes.
Steel studs, concrete or cinder block walls and all other types of non-wood
frame construction require the use of special screws or anchors. The selection
of appropriate mounting hardware should be made by a qualified professional
installer.
When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen's operation,
remember surface is centered in case.
Take care to install wall/ceiling electrical box and conduit so they will be fully
concealed by the screen case after installation.
Handle case carefully to avoid scratching.
Regardless of mounting method, screen should be positively and securely sup-
ported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on the viewing surface will not
cause case to work loose or fall. Installer must insure that fasteners used are of
adequate strength and suitable for the mounting surface chosen.

INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
Wall Mounting
Mount two, three or four aluminum brackets provided ("Z" Clips) on the wall at
desired height, using appropriate fasteners. Verify that they are in line and level
to fully engage with the mounting lip on back of screen case. 1
is required above the "Z" Clips to allow case lip to be engaged over the lip of
the "Z" Clips.
Lip on back of case
"Z" Clip
(wall mounting bracket
supplied with Silhouette)
Engage the lip on back of screen case with lip of "Z" Clip and gently pull down
to fully engage case to brackets.
Ceiling/Suspended Mounting
Locate two offset ceiling brackets (supplied) and slide these into the channel
on top of screen case by aligning the chamfered
edges of each bracket parallel to the channel
length. Allow bracket to drop against bottom of
channel and then rotate bracket counter-clock-
wise. Slide one bracket to each end of screen
case until it stops against end cap of case.
Tighten two set screws to lock bracket in place.
Make sure that the flange of the ceiling bracket
that has four holes is extended beyond the end
caps of the case. Repeat above procedure for
second ceiling bracket, making sure to slide it
towards opposite end of case.
To mount against ceiling, hold screen case against ceiling and mark mount-
ing hole locations. Each bracket has two holes towards the front edge and
two holes towards the back edge. Installer must use at least two fasteners
per bracket with one fastener in one of the two holes closest to back edge
of bracket, and one fastener in one of the two hole closest to front edge of
bracket. Installer must insure that fasteners are of adequate strength and suit-
able for the mounting surface chosen.
(right end of Silhouette case)
(front of Silhouette case)
To mount suspended from ceiling, the brackets need to be installed on
screen case as noted on page 1. Use "S" Hooks through the holes in the brack-
ets to attach to ceiling. Select the set of holes that allows the screen to hang in
a vertical position. The installer is to provide the "S" Hooks and the materials
and fasteners to attach the "S" Hooks to the ceiling. Installer must insure that
the fasteners and suspension material is of adequate strength and suitable for
the mounting surface chosen.
