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.
The slat retainer screws must be removed before installation. The slotted 1/4" hex screws fasten through the back of the
case (at the bottom) into the slat bar. Orient the case with the slat down and then remove the screws. The case must
remain in that orientation throughout the installation process to avoid fabric damage.
The Tensioned Cosmopolitan® Electrol® comes with brackets to allow for wall mount or ceiling mount installations.
Procedures for each method are as follows:

Wall Mount
1. The wall mount bracket should be fastened to wall
studs or some reinforcement within the wall. Concrete
or brick walls require special fasteners and anchors.
2. The wall bracket has holes spaced at 16" and 24" to
align with most wall studs.
3. The bracket must be level and plumb.
4. Keep in mind you will need at least 2-3/4" between the
ceiling and the top of the wall mount bracket to be
able to position the case on the bracket.
5. 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. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach the screen brackets.
2. Attach the ceiling brackets to the wall mount bracket
using the supplied 5/16" x 3/4" bolts, washers and
nuts.
3. Position the ceiling bracket asssembly on the ceiling
and attach with 5/16" bolts (not supplied). The bolts
should be long enough to pass through the drywall or
ceiling tile and penetrate at least 1-1/2" into the
reinforcement in the ceiling.
4. Mount the screen on the wall bracket as shown in
figure 2. Be sure the case is fully seated on the
bracket. Tighten the stop screws against the wall
bracket.

TENSIONED COSMOPOLITAN® ELECTROL® INSTALLATION FOR SCREENS WITHOUT A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE
CONTROL
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.
See wiring diagram below for wire connections.
NOTE: This screen can only be controlled by a single 120VAC or 240VAC wall switch. To use multiple switches, an optional low
voltage control must be used.

Screen travel is stopped automatically in the down and up positions by the limit switches that are preset at the factory.
No further adjustment is necessary.
If you need to make minor stop position adjustments see the appropriate step below.
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
NOTE: One turn of the limit screw equals approximately 2" of screen travel.
TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the down 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 down 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 wrap over the top of the roller when the screen is rolling into the case. The screen could
be damaged.
SCREEN TRAVELS INTO CASE TOO FAR:
Turn the up 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 up 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.

CONTROL
SCREEN ADjUSTMENT FOR SCREENS WITH A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
1. Remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and remove the switch from the junction box.
2. Locate small 3-position switch on back of wall switch. See Figure 4 for 120V screens or Figure 5 for 220/240V
screens.
3. To adjust the down limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the down position. Press and hold the down button
to run the screen down to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE
STOP BUTTON.
4. When the screen is in the desired down position, slide the 3-position switch to the off (center) position. The down
limit switch is now set.
5. To adjust the up limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the up position. Press and hold the up button to run the
screen up to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE STOP BUTTON.
6. When the screen is in the desired up position, slide the 3-position switch to the off (center) position. The up limit
switch is now set.
7. To test limit switch setting, make sure the 3-position switch is in the off (center) position. Press and release the up
or down button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
8. Replace switch and cover plate on the wall.
NOTE: If stop button is pressed, the wall switch will reverse direction. To correct this, press the stop button again. This
will reset the switch. You will have to re-set both the up and the down settings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall switch is REQUIRED to make any limit switch adjustments, EVEN if a third party control
system is used. Therefore, it is advised to wire the switch or provide a 4-conductor connection that is
accessible.
