Section 5 – Limit Adjustments (Standard Motors)

Please Note: Screen limits are factory set for optimum performance. Any adjustment of these limits could void the warranty. Please check with Draper prior to resetting screen limits.
Please Note: If Screen is “Right-Hand Motor” the WHITE/DOWN (I) and YELLOW/UP (II) limit screws are reversed (Fig. 7).

“Down” Limit Adjustment (requires 5/32″ (4mm) Allen wrench)
To Reduce Screen Drop:

1. Raise the screen surface approximately 1′ (30cm) above the desired setting and turn it off.
2. Turn DOWN (I) limit screw clockwise (3 screw turns = 1/2 roller revolution).
3. Test by lowering the screen. Repeat steps 1 & 2 until the desired position is reached.

To Increase Screen Drop:

1. Lower the screen to the down limit.
2. With the down switch on, turn DOWN (I) limit screw counterclockwise (3 screw turns = 1/2 roller revolution) to increase drop.
3. Test by raising the screen approximately 1′ (30cm) then lower to the new down limit.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the desired position is reached.
   Please Note: For Quiet Motor with alternate limit screws: WHITE screw = UP and RED screw = DOWN. (Fig. 10).

CAUTION:
– Be sure all switches are in the “off” position before adjusting limit switches.
– Be prepared to shut off manually while testing.
– Screen may be damaged by lowering it too far and exposing the roller.
– Motor must be installed so that limit switches are pointed down.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow the dowel to wrap over the roller when operating the screen!
This could damage the screen.

“Up” Limit Adjustment
If Screen Raises Too High:

1. Lower screen surface approx. 1′ (30cm) below desired to set and turn off.
2. Turn UP (II) limit screw clockwise (3 screw turns = 1/2 roller revolution).
3. Test by advancing screen up.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the desired position is reached.

If Screen Needs to Raise Higher:

1. Lower screen surface approx. 1′ (30cm) below desired to set and turn off.
2. With the UP switch on, turn UP (II) limit screw counterclockwise (3 screw turns = 1/2 roller revolution).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the desired position is reached.

Section 6 – RF Remote Programming Instructions
