Draper Acumen Recharge E – 118", 2K/4K Full – 153114

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen Recharge E is a surface-mounted, battery-powered motorized projection screen that requires no external power wiring, built for commercial AV installations where running line voltage to the screen is impractical. This 118" diagonal 2K/4K Full (1.9:1) model houses a free-hanging Series E viewing surface in a contoured extruded-aluminum case and operates from an internal rechargeable Li-ion battery. As a rechargeable projection screen, it installs with no wiring and is controlled by an included RF remote, making it a strong fit for retrofits, leased spaces, and historic buildings. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 7-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen Recharge E motorized screen is engineered for integrators who need a surface-mounted electric screen without pulling AC power to the mounting location. It uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery to drive the motor, so the screen installs with no wiring; it charges from a standard 110V outlet using the included 13' (4 m) recharge cable and 2 Amp plug-in with USB. The screen surface is a Series E non-tensioned (free-hanging) design, kept flat by the weight of the surface and dowel, and rolls into a streamlined 7-1/8" high by 5-7/8" deep aluminum case finished in white powder coat, with black available on request. A removable fascia, floating mounting brackets, and ceiling suspension brackets simplify installation and service. All controls are wireless: the screen ships with an RF remote, and an optional hub adds control from a mobile app, Google Home, or Alexa. For installations that can provide a data drop, the Acumen Recharge E is optionally Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable, letting the screen stay powered continuously while still being controlled by RF signal. The standard case accommodates image widths through 10' (305 cm) in 16:9, 16:10, and other popular formats, and is available with Draper OptiView and ClearSound families of viewing surfaces. This makes the Acumen Recharge E well suited to conference rooms, houses of worship, and multi-purpose spaces where cord-free operation is required. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Acumen Recharge E require electrical wiring at the screen?

No. The screen runs on an internal rechargeable Li-ion battery, so no external power wiring is required at the mounting location. You recharge it from a standard 110V outlet using the included cable, or optionally keep it powered continuously with Power over Ethernet.

How is the screen controlled?

All controls are wireless. The screen ships with an RF remote, and an optional hub lets you control it from a mobile app, Google Home, or Alexa for hands-free operation in professional environments.

Is this a tensioned screen?

No. The Acumen Recharge E is a Series E, non-tensioned (free-hanging) screen. If you need a tab-tensioned surface, Draper offers the Acumen Recharge V as the tensioned battery-powered counterpart.

Can it be powered continuously instead of relying on the battery?

Yes. The Acumen Recharge E is optionally Power over Ethernet capable. With a data drop at the screen, it can stay powered all the time while still being controlled via RF signal.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

It works with any commercial front projector matched to its 118" 2K/4K Full format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.
