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®
with built-in Infrared Remote: Wall Mount, Ceiling Mount, or
Ceiling Hook. Procedures for each method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall at the desired
height. Bracket 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 bracket is 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 bracket.
Ceiling Mount
1. Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if you are
not using it for mounting. This provides structural
stability to the case.
2. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach the screen brackets.
3. 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. Mount can not be
more than 12" from end of case.
4. 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. Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if you are
not using it for mounting. This provides structural
stability to the case.
2. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach a hook anchor.
3. 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.
4. The brackets can be attached anywhere within 12" of
the end of the case.
5. Attach an S-hook or similar fastener to the large center
hole on the bracket.

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. 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.
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the red 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 red 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.
CAUTION: Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At least 1-1/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller.
This screen comes standard with 0" or 2" black at the top. See the specification data sheet for details.
