Please Note
➀ Make sure power is disconnected before installing controls.
➁ LVC-III and MC1 are line voltage controls, designed to operate one
motor with activation by Low Voltage input commands.
➂ The MC1 receiver has a built in fuse that provides protection from
electrical shorts and overload.
➃ Avoid static discharge, especially to screw terminals and eye jack.
Electrical Specifi cations—MC1
Input:
DATA: 5V AC (through "Eye" port)
Low Voltage/Serial: Dry Contact—0v AC
Output: 115V AC version: Rated at 3.8 Amps, 1/8th HP, fuse
should be 4 Amp 250V 5x20mm fast or slow blow.
230V AC version: Rated at 1.9 Amps, 1/8th HP, fuse
should be 2 Amp 250V 5x20mm fast or slow blow.
If you encounter any diffi culties installing/wiring your MC1 or LVC-III, call your dealer or
Draper, Inc., Spiceland, Ind., (765) 987-7999 and fax (765) 987-7142.

All connection wires must conform to the motor manufacturer’s
recommendation and prevailing electrical codes. The switch and control
system wires should be at least 24 AWG and no larger than 18 AWG.
Please Note:
All input devices (low voltage LED switches, IR eye, RF receiver) which
connect to the Eye jack must be connected using electrically straight 4-
conductor modular cable (RJ11). This means colors do not cross over: blue
leads to blue, orange to orange, etc. (see diagram below)
Electrical Specifi cations—LVC-III
Input:
DATA: 5V AC (through "Eye" port)
Low Voltage/Serial: Dry Contact—0v AC
Output: 115V AC version: Rated at 6 Amps, 1/3 HP, fuse
should be 6.3 Amp 250V 5x20mm fast or slow blow.
230V AC version: Rated at 3 Amps, 1/3 HP, fuse
should be 3.15 Amp 250V 5x20mm fast or slow blow.
Note: Holds contact 180 seconds.
Notes on Power Consumption:
Any input device may be connected to any available Eye port. All Eye
ports are "powered" by the MC1 or LVC-III they feed off of. Each MC1 Eye
port provides 2 milliAmps to the connected input devices; the LVC-III Eye port
provides 75 milliAmps at 5V of power. You may attach any combination of
input devices to an MC1 or LVC-III Eye port, as long as the combined power
requirements do not exceed the available power from the MC1 or LVC-III (see
chart). RF receivers and LED switches require their own power supply
when used with the MC1. Power supply can power up to three input
devices.
Notes on Cable Lengths:
You can have a total of approximately 100 feet of cable (this includes ALL
cables connected to ALL Eye and Aux ports) per MC1 or LCV-III, up to a
maximum of 1000 feet. However, the RF Receiver can drive up to 1000 feet of
cable.

Electrical Con nec tions
Screens, AeroLifts and Micro Projector Lifts operate on 110-120V, 60 Hz.
AC cur rent.
Screens, AeroLifts and Micro Projector Lifts are shipped with internal
wiring complete and control switch(es) fully boxed. Wire to connect screen to
switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply should be furnished by installer.
Con nec tions should be made in ac cor dance with approved wiring
diagrams, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Spring-Loaded Terminals
When running wires to the spring-loaded terminals on the MC1 or LVC-III,
use the following steps:
➀
Strip outer wire sheathing back 1", then strip insulation of individual wires

➁
Place screwdriver into the top slot to open the spring-loaded terminal.
➂
Slide wire into terminal connection point.
➃
Remove screwdriver. Wire is now locked into place.

If you use standard telephone cable, you must fi rst remove one connector,
turn it over and re-attach, to ensure that the cable is electrically straight (see
diagram below).
