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.

Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping
from case.
Remove the black tape from the slat bar after the case
has been installed.
There are three ways to install the Designer Contour
Electrol: Wall Mount, Ceiling Mount, or Ceiling Hook.
Procedures for each method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. Secure the wall mount brackets to the wall at the
desired height. Brackets should be fastened to
wall studs or some reinforcement within the wall.
Concrete or brick walls require special fasteners
and anchors.
2. Make sure the brackets are in line and level. See
figure 1 for reference dimensions.
3. Keep in mind you will need at least 5/8" between
the ceiling and the top of the wall mount bracket
to be able to position the case on the bracket.
4. Mount the screen case on the wall bracket as
shown in figure 1. Be sure the case is fully seated
on the bracket. Tighten the stop screws against
the wall brackets.
Ceiling Mount
1. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach the screen brackets.
2. The top of the screen case has a channel that the
ceiling mount brackets slide into. Remove the end
cap on the right end of the case and insert the
brackets into the case channel. Lock the brackets
in place by tightening two set screws. Refer to
figure 2.
3. Hold the screen case up to the ceiling and mark
the hole locations. Drill holes into the ceiling and
attach screen with the appropriate fasteners for
your ceiling.
Ceiling Hook
1. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach a hook anchor.
2. The top of the screen case has a channel that the
ceiling hook brackets slide into. Remove the end
cap on the right end of the case and insert the
brackets into the case channel. Lock the brackets
in place by tightening two set screws. Refer to
figure 3.
3. The brackets can be attached anywhere along the
length of the case.
4. Attach an S-hook to the large center hole on the
bracket.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Internal wiring has been completed at the factory. Installer must route power to the wall switch and to the junction box
located on the left end of the screen case.
Standard installation is for a single 120VAC or 240VAC wall switch to control the screen. Optional Control units may have
been ordered, including a low voltage control unit. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram for your screen.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
Screen travel is stopped automatically in the down and up
positions by the limit switches that are preset at the factory. If
it’s necessary to adjust for more or less drop follow the steps
below. Adjustment procedures are different for 120V and 240V
units. Follow the appropriate instructions for your screen type.
The case cover must be removed to access the motor limit
switches.
Remove the case cover screw from both ends of the screen.
See figure 4. Be sure to hold the cover while removing the
screws.
Rotate the cover up and away from the case until it can be
removed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR 120 VOLT SCREENS
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the number 1 limit switch screw clockwise to
decrease the amount of screen drop. Run the screen
down to test the stop position. If the screen drops too far,
raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit
switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set.
TO INCREASE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the number 1 limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of screen drop. Run the screen
down to test the stop position. If the screen does not drop enough, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the
limit switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set. Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At
least 1-1/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller.
SETTING THE UP LIMIT POSITION
CAUTION: Do not allow the slat bar to become wedged between the roller and case. This could damage the fabric and motor.
Always check that the slat is free to move inside the case.
SCREEN TRAVELS INTO CASE TOO FAR:
Turn the number 2 limit switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of travel. Run the screen up to test the
stop position. If the screen does not stop properly, lower the screen about one foot and turn the limit switch again.
Repeat until the desired position is set.
SCREEN DOES NOT TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH INTO CASE:
Turn the number 2 limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of up travel. Run the screen up to
test the stop position. If more travel is desired, lower the screen about one foot and adjust the limit switch again.
Repeat until the desired position is set.
