When the projector is turned on or off a signal is sent to the STI-100 within the motor
and will trigger the screen to move up or down.
If there is a sudden change in direction, the motor is paused for 1/2 second before
reversing direction. This is to prevent strain on the motor mechanism, and to prevent
damage to any material controlled by the motor. Relays are automatically
de-energized after 120 seconds of operation to reduce power consumption.
