® If your screen was shipped with the motor and roller already installed, proceed to step 6.
1. Remove access door. First, remove the 2 screws from the ends. Be sure to support the door during this
step to avoid injury. Then lift the door slightly and pull away from the edge of the case.
2. Carefully unpack screen and roller assembly. Leave packing paper on roller.
3. To install screen and roller assembly, insert the motor end into the motor mount bracket as shown in Fig. 1.
4. Loosen (but do not remove) two 1/4-20 nuts securing pin end bracket (stage left) to the case housing. Slide the
bracket towards the end of the case. Insert the motor end square shaft into the motor end bracket and secure with
the clip. Insert the tip of the roller pin into the bracket and position. Tighten the 1/4-20 nuts securely.
5. Complete electrical hook-up by snapping motor wire connector into case connector.
6. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly. DO NOT use a knife or sharp object to cut tape; you will
damage the screen. Pull orange string.
7. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times. Be prepared to stop screen.
8. Re-install access door. Procedure is reverse of removal (step 1).
CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause the motor to overheat. If this happens, the motor will shut off until it
cools to a normal operating temperature.
1. Remove 2 screws to open junction box.
2. Hang case and attach to support structure with bolts. See suggested methods of installation on page 5.
3. Tighten bolts until trim flange is flush with ceiling.
NOTE: For proper operation, screen assembly must be level after installation.
4. Install electrical connections that applies to your unit. Make sure to review the wiring diagram for proper hook up.
5. Replace junction box cover and secure with 2 screws.
PRE-INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Contact an authorized
service dealer when repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when
the appliance is used subsequently.
5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall switch is REQUIRED to make any limit
switch adjustments, EVEN if a third party control
system is used. Therefore, it is advised to wire
the switch or provide a 4-conductor connection
that is accessible.
CAUTION: THE PROJECTOR MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE TRIGGER WIRES TO THE PROJECTOR. FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER.
1. Use 2-conductor 20-24 gauge wire to extend the low voltage connection from the projectors 5 or 12-volt screen
trigger output to the length required to reach the VPI. When extending the low voltage connection from the
projectors screen trigger output, be sure to maintain the proper polarity. The red wire from the VPI is the signal
and the black wire from the VPI is the ground.
2. Connect the wires from the VPI that are labeled Low Voltage Connection to the end of the extended screen
trigger wires above.
3. The wall switch must be placed in the up position for the screen to be triggered by the projector.
4. If a wall switch is not being used, please do the following. For 120V units, the black/yellow lead and the red lead for
the wall switch must be connected to each other and the black lead must be capped. For 240V units, the
black/yellow lead and the black lead for the wall switch must be connected to each other and the brown lead must
be capped. ! LOW-VOLTAGE WALL SWITCH
