Draper projector lifts oer the innovation, modern designs

and range of functionality to t any room or auditorium.

Before selecting a lift for your application, take the time to

ensure the product you want best suits your projector and

your space. The questions below will help guide you to the

perfect Draper lift solution.

• Howlargeistheprojectoryouareusing? All Draper lifts

are made to t a specic size range of projectors. Make

sure to verify the dimensions and weight of the projector

you wish to use to ensure you select the correct lift. Cable

inputs, length of lens, also need to be considered in the

overall width and/or length of the projector.

• Howfardoestheprojectorneedtodescendintothe

room?Several Draper lifts place the projector just below

the ceiling line while others can descend a long distance.

Generally, you should plan to position the center of the

projector’s lens at the same height as the top of the screen’s

viewing area. You will need to verify the exact position of

the projector with the specications of your projector.

• Howmuchspaceabovetheceilingisavailable?24˝

(61 cm) of space allows many dierent lift options. If your

installation requires an environmental airspace housing,

verify that the lift you choose will t into that space by

looking for the overall height of lift with the environmen-

tal airspace option. If you are not using as environmental

airspace housing, then you need to account for the height

of the lift, projector bracket, projector and closure panel. Al-

lowances for installation hardware and workspace will need

to be considered for any installation.

• Istheavailablespaceabovetheceilinganenvironmental

airspace? If so, then you would need to select a lift with

environmental airspace housing option. Most commercial

type installations will require an environmental airspace

housing.

• Doesthelifthavetotwithina2´x2´(60cmx60cm)

ceilinggridspacing? If this is a concern then there are

several lifts that will t within this scenario so you would

not have to alter the ceiling grid work.

• Whattypeofceiling–acousticaltileordrywall? A ceiling

access door is highly recommended when installing in

drywall type ceilings or any ceiling where there is no other

access to the outside of the lift.
