receptacle.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-
insulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.

INSTALLATION OF THE BRACKET
Take out all the parts from the package and reference the accessories guideline to ensure all the parts are there. There are three different types
of installation options for this product: wall mount, ceiling mount or ceiling hang. Depending on the installation environment, the oating mounting
brackets can be installed at various points for your convenience.
NOTE: PLACING THE MOUNTING BRACKETS CLOSER TO THE END CAPS WILL HELP REDUCE NOISE AND VIBRATION
IMPORTANT: Before beginning installation, you must remove the two safety shipping screws
from the back of the casing.

Installing the bracket on the wall or ceiling:
1. According to the surface of installation, choose the appropriate screws needed for mounting (Use Mounting Screws for wood surfaces, use
Mounting Screws and Concrete Anchors for concrete surfaces)
2. Mount the brackets onto the surface, ensuring they are level.
• Wall and Ceiling Installation, Drywall:
Drill in the Mounting Screws (B) through
the appropriate holes in the bracket
• Wall and Ceiling Installation, Concrete:
Install the anchors (C) and drill the
Mounting Screws (B) through the
appropriate holes in the bracket
3. Loosen the Locking Screw to lower
the Locking Piece down all the way.

Screw on the mounting brackets. This will keep the screen
locked rmly in place.
Installing the hanging bracket:
1. Choose tapping screws with hangers, or other screws with hangers (not included) according to your ceiling material.
2. Drill two identical holes with an electric drill. Make sure the holes
are aligned horizontally with the wall. Fasten hangers
(not provided) into the ceiling.
3. Use the Ceiling Hanging Screws (F) provided with the accessory
package to x the Ceiling Hanger (E) into the Floating Mount Bracket (A).
Ensure the screws on the bracket are tightened and secure.
4. Follow steps three through ve from the “Installing the bracket on
the wall or ceiling” section to attach the casing to the brackets. After
the casing is locked into the brackets, hang the screen on to the hooks.

Infrared (IR) Remote Control
1. When nothing blocks the sight of the IR window, you can use
the remote control to control the screen with built-in IR receiver.
2. For hidden installations or if the IR window is blocked, use the
external IR receiver. Plug it in to the external IR input and then
x it at a position where the IR signal is available.
External Wall Switch (optional)
1. For external manual control of the screen, plug the RJ11 plug of the wall switch
into the external connection of screen.
Note: If a longer application is needed, the wire can be spliced with Cat5e cable.
12V Trigger Control (optional)
1. Insert 2.5mm male plug into the trigger jack at the left side of the
screen’s end cap TRIG, and insert 3.5mm male plug into 12V output
hole of device (i.e. projector, receiver).
2. When the 12V source is turned “ON,” the screen will lower
automatically. When the 12V source is turned “OFF,” the screen
will raise automatically.
MOTOR ADJUSTMENTS
To avoid overheating the motor, do not continually retract and lower the screen
for over 4 minutes at a time. If the motor overheats, it will need a cool down time
of 2 minutes. The motor does not need any lubricants. The drop and retract limit
of the screen is factory preset to optimal conguration. Please ask your local dealer
or professional to adjust settings to avoid damaging the motor.

ADJUSTING YOUR DRAGONFLY MOTORIZED FILM SCREEN
The stopping point for both the upward and downward motion of your Dragony motorized lm screen can be adjusted easily with the included plastic
Allen key. The screen has 15 3/4” of black material above the screen surface, allowing exibility for most installations.
“OPEN” Adjustment
This adjustment is made with the screen fully lowered.
1. Insert the Allen key into the keyhole (behind the rubber plug) to adjust the position of the viewing area when the screen is down. Turning the Allen key
1 full revolution clockwise will raise the viewing area approximately ½”.
Note: You will not notice a difference of adjustment until you press the ‘UP’ button and travel the screen several seconds. Then ‘DOWN’ to see the
difference in screen location.
2. If adjustment has been made too far, turning the key counter-clockwise will “bump” the screen lower. This adjustment can be made with the screen
fully open without raising or lowering the screen.
“CLOSED” Adjustment
FOR REFERENCE ONLY: Closed Limit Switch Adjustment
(Attention: This adjustment is not required. Always contact our Technician for assistance to avoid damaging the screen and
voiding your warranty.)
*IMPORTANT NOTE: IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED THAT THE USER NOT EVER ADJUST THE CLOSED LIMIT SWITCH. ALL SCREENS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN PRE-ADJUSTED IN THE FACTORY TO MEET THE MULTITUDE OF USER NEEDS. DESCRIPTION OF THIS FEATURE WAS
INCLUDED FOR THOSE RARE SITUATIONS THAT REQUIRE IT.
1. Insert the Allen key into the keyhole (closest to back of case) to adjust the stopping point of the motor when the screen is retracted into its
housing. Turning the key 1 full revolution clockwise will cause the screen to stop approximately ½” farther out of the housing.
NOTE: You will not notice a difference of adjustment until you press the ‘DOWN’ button and travel the screen several seconds. Then press the ‘UP’
button to see the difference in screen location.
DO NOT do the following step before step #1 because damage to screen may occur.
2. Turning the Allen key counter-clockwise 1 full revolution will raise the bottom bar of the screen closer to the case approximately ½”.
Be very careful as you may accidentally retract the screen too far into the case causing damage to the motor and screen.
Adjusting the Tension String
If the string is loose, rotate the String Adjustment Knob clockwise to tighten. If the string is over-tensioned, press the
String Release Button and then rotate the String Adjustment Knob counter-clockwise to suitable tension.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Dragony motorized lm screens are designed to function trouble-free for years of enjoyment. Most problems that occur are due to simple
issues. If you have trouble, please check the list of simple xes below. If the problem persists, contact your authorized Dragony dealer or
Dragony customer service at info@dragonyscreens.com
Screen does not react to any control •Power cable to the lm screen is incorrectly connected or plugged into an outlet that does not have power.
•Check connections and verify power on the outlet.
•Check control method selected (IR, wall-pad or low voltage) and try an alternate method.
Screen goes lower than desired or does
not retract far enough •Adjust the up and down limits as described in “Adjusting your Dragony motorized lm screen”.
IR control does not work •Check the batteries in the IR remote that you are using.
•Ensure that you are within range of the remote being used. The factory remote will work at a distance of
up to 15’ in most situations.
•Ensure that the connector for the Tab IR sensor is fully seated if that is the method you are using and that
the IR emitter you are using (if applicable) is wired and operating properly.
•If you have chosen to ‘hard-wire’ the IR connection into a RJ-11 connector, be sure that you have the
appropriate wires on the correct pins, as described in the “IR Control” section.
