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 ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.

1. Hang screen from wall or ceiling.
For Wall Mounting
Hardware Provided
2 – “V” Bars ( one is factory mounted to the back
of the case; one will be mounted to the wall)
6 – Toggle Bolts, 4"
6 – Lead Shields, #1014 x 11⁄2"
6 – Phillips Flat Head Wood Screws, #10 x 2"
Tools Required
Electric Drill
Masonry Bit 5⁄16" (if mounting in solid masonry
or concrete)
Screw Driver, #2 Flat Tip (if using toggle bolts) or
#2 Phillips (if mounting in solid masonry or concrete)
Determine the height of the top of the case from the
loor. This will be the height of the wall mounted “V” bar.
Hold the loose “V” bar to the wall at the height
determined above (MAKE SURE IT IS LEVEL), and mark
the location for the screw holes. To mount the “V” bar on
solid concrete or masonry wall, drill 5⁄ 16" holes and insert
the lead shields. Fasten the “V” bar to the wall using the
#10 x 2" wood screws. If you are mounting to a hollow
wall, drill 1⁄2" holes and insert the toggle bolts. Then
fasten the “V” bar to the wall with the toggle bolts. Now
set the case in place on the wall with the “V” bar of the
case nestled into the “V” bar on the wall.
For Ceiling Mounting
Position and properly anchor screw hooks into ceiling, beam
or other solid surface. Then proceed to use the two “D” rings
that are factory mounted to the top of the case to hang the
case securely.
2. Install electrical hook-up that applies to your unit. Make
sure to review your electrical installation checklist and
wiring diagrams (included) for either 120 volt switch,
220/240 volt switch or low voltage control. See Figure 3.
3. Test installation by running screen up and down a few
times. Be prepared to stop screen. Standard Duty Cycle:
1 MIN. ON / 3 MIN. OFF.
NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the requirements
of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC),
NFPA 70.

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 front cover of the screen from the back of the screen. Lift front cover up approximately 1/2" and pull away from back of
screen. See Figure 1.
Setting The Down Limit Position
To Reduce Screen Drop:
Turn the white 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 white 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.
