3.5. Screen programming.
Programing the length of the rolled out screen (screen bottom bar position).
- Roll up the screen until it will stop automatically in the upper position.
- Insert regulation wrench included in the screen set into the regulation slot (see picture. 6) located in the left bottom
part of the screen .
Regulation knob “2” (red) enables setting of the lower extreme position of the screen bottom bar:
„+” - means increasing the lenght of the fabrics is rolled down when the screen is rolled out,
„–” - means decreasing the length of the fabrics is rolled down when the screen is rolled out.
!!! NOTICE !!! The screen was programmed properly at the factory and there is no need to reprogram it without any
important reason. Setting of screen extreme positions was made by manufacturer.
If you need to change the screen extreme position follow the instructions described below.

Regulation knob “1” (white) enables setting of the upper extreme position of the screen bottom bar:
“-“ - means increasing the lenght of the fabrics is rolled down when the screen is rolled in,
“+” - means decreasing the length of the fabrics is rolled down when the screen is rolled in.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Do not decrease (tuning knob 1+) the range of the rolled down surface. It can damage the screen.
Do not increase (regulation 2+) the range of the surface which was rolled down behind the STOP mark, placed in
the upper right corner of the screen. Rolling down the screen behind the mark can damage the screen.
3.6. +RCX remote control system programing
Parallel operation of a few screens with built-in +RCX installed in the same room is possible; in such case control
systems of each screen must be programmed with dedicated control code. The screen with +RCX remote control system
is supplied with single remote transmitter, it is possible to purchase optional transmitters. The optional transmitters must be
programmed at the controller.
A) Setting of the new transmitter
Controller can memorize 10 individual control codes of remote transmitters.
Connect power supply to the screen.
Press 3 times P2 button of the remote transmitter within 12 seconds after the screen’s sound signal.
Transmitter is not set to the control system with individual code (random generated code).
B) Deleting of the transmitter
Connect power supply to the screen.
Press P2 button of the remote transmitter once.
Press the “Stop” button of the remote transmitter within the next 4 seconds.
Press P2 button within the next 4 seconds again.
The remote transmitter was deleted from the controller memory.
C) Appending new remote transmitter
New remote transmitter will obtain the same individual control code as the original one when appended, or new
individual control code if set. We suggest appending new remote transmitters in case some screen with +RCX control
systems (or controlled with DRC control systems) are installed in the near neighbourhood (transmitter operation range).
Connect power supply to the screen.
Press P2 button of the original remote transmitter twice.
Press P2 button of the new remote transmitter once within the next 4 seconds .
Appending of the new remote transmitter is done.
D) Converting direction
It is possible to convert direction of the operation of the remote transmitter buttons, i.e. the “” button will cause the
screen to roll out instead of causing the screen to roll inn, and the “‚” button will cause the screen to roll inn instead of
causing the screen to roll out.
Connect power supply to the screen.
Press P2 button of the remote transmitter once.
Press the “‚” button of the remote transmitter within the next 4 seconds once.
Press P2 button of the new remote transmitter once within the next 4 seconds once.
Converting direction is done.
3.7 C12VRC+ triggered control system programming
C12VRC+ triggered control systems radio frequency connection between transmitter and controller is coded with individual
control code. Coding of the control system can be performed during screen production at the Avers factory only. You can
find information about the individual number of control code of your screen at the transmitter enclosure. Parallel operation
of a screens with built-in C12VRC+ control systems is possible without any problem, if the screen’s control systems are
programmed with different individual control codes (for individual screen control) or the screen’s control systems are
programmed with the same individual control code (for group screen control).
4. Screen operation
Projection screen AVERS can be operated manually or automatically (screens with built-in C12VRC+ triggered control
system). Both operation methods can be used simultaneously if optional dedicated wall switch is installed.
4.1 Automatic operation (screens with C12VRC+ control system)
Automatic screen operation is provided with use of the triggered signal radio frequency transmitter.
- Press “POWER” button at the projector’s remote control transmitter or at the projector itself. Projector lamp will light on,
the screen will begin rolling out and it will stop automatically when the bottom bar will reach the bottom position.
9

- Press “POWER” button at the projector’s remote control transmitter or at the projector itself. Projector lamp will light off,
the screen will begin rolling in and will stop automatically when the bottom bar will reach the upper position.
