PLEASE READ – Safety Information

Improper installation and use of the Acumen screen can result in serious injury or death. Primarily, injuries can occur if the unit falls due to imprecise installation, mishandling of the unit during installation, or installation on an insufficient wall or ceiling structure. Please use extreme care.

  2. Installation and calibration of the unit should only be performed by an authorized, qualified, and experienced professional.
  3. Do not affix the unit to walls or ceilings that have inadequate strength to permanently hold the unit during use. It is the owner’s and installer’s responsibility to confirm the wall or ceiling to which the unit attaches is sufficient to permanently hold the weight and stress loads of the unit at all times. Draper, Inc., is not responsible for improper installation, application, testing, or workmanship related to the product at the place of installation.
  4. It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure appropriate fasteners are used for mounting.
  5. All hardware must be installed level. The unit must be level and square.
  6. Never leave the area while operating the unit during installation, maintenance, or normal operation, unless it is secure and safe.
  7. Before testing or operation, carefully inspect the entire area and path (especially underneath) of the unit to be sure no persons or objects are in the area.
  8. During testing or operation, carefully watch the surrounding area for any potential safety concerns including nearby persons or objects.
  9. After installation, the entire system, including all sensors, should be carefully tested to ensure safe and normal operation. Extreme care should be taken during testing to remain clear of moving parts to avoid possible injury.
  10. Operation of a unit should be performed only by authorized and qualified personnel, who have been trained in its safe and effective operation and understand its safety features.
  11. The safety features of the unit should never be disabled, bypassed, or overridden. The system should not be operated until all safety features are properly and completely installed, calibrated, and tested.
  12. A unit may need to comply with local, state, or district rules and regulations, in particular when installed in schools. All applicable rules and regulations should be reviewed before installation and use.
  13. Failure to precisely follow installation guidelines invalidates all warranties.
  14. Custom products/installations may not be reflected in this manual. Call Draper, Inc., if you have questions about the installation of custom products or any questions about your installation.

Section 1.1 – General:

  1. Wall Mounting Brackets (minimum of 2) must be attached to the case regardless of the mounting method.
  2. Screen should be lifted into position only by case end caps. Keep-case level by lifting case end caps simultaneously to prevent surface damage. Never attempt to lift the screen along its length.
  3. When locating the viewing surface and checking clearance for the screen’s operation, remember surface is centered in the case. Handle the case carefully to protect its finish.
  4. Regardless of the mounting method, the screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on the viewing surface will not cause case to  loosen or fall. The installer must ensure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable for mounting surface chosen.
