Assembly/Mounting Instructions
Clarion Permanently Tensioned Projection Screen by Draper
Caution
①Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
②Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions
invalidates warranty.
③When lifting assembled screen, do not lift at only one corner; lift at
both corners. Lifting by one corner could result in damage to the
screen frame, especially on large screens.
④Screen should be accessible for complete removal should fabric become
damaged or should other service be required.
⑤Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
⑥Nothing should be fastened to screen frame or viewing surface.
⑦Make sure you have received all parts (see parts list below and exploded
diagram on page 2).
⑧Installer is responsible for providing appropriate hardware for mounting.
⑨Tools Required:
1
/ 8 " Allen Wrench (included); #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Optional tools: Flat blade screwdriver or small putty knife.
⑩ The ideal temperature range for assembling folding screens to prevent
damaging the surface is 68°-78° F (20°-26° C). Assembling below
recommended temperatures may damage surface and void warranty.
NOTE: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and
found to be operating properly prior to shipment.

Frame Preparation
①Clean area and place frame assembly pieces face down. Insert frame
extrusion connectors into aluminum frame extrusions as indicated in
Figures 1 through 3. For easier assembly insert the inner connectors first.
Caution: When lifting assembled screen, do not lift at only one corner; lift
at both corners. Lifting by one corner could result in damage to the screen
frame, especially on large screens.
The Clarion has a precision cut mitered corner.
Please Note: If corner gaps exist (painted frame only) readjusting the frame
and/or applying a small bead of black silicone to fill the gap is the best solu-
tion. Apply a very small bead of black silicone to area where frame gap exists.
Work silicone into gap (using your finger or a cloth). Remove ALL silicone on
face of frame; only silicone inside gap should remain.
Figure 2
②Make sure frame extrusion connectors are fully seated (see Fig. 4).
Figure 4
③Secure connectors by tightening setscrews (see Fig. 5).
④Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining corners (see Fig. 6).
Please Note: If extrusion connec-
tors do not slide into frame extru-
sions, make sure that setscrews are
backed out enough to allow proper
clearance.

Surface to Frame Assembly
①Return frame onto clean surface, face down, and drape completed surface
assembly over completed frame profile with rounded edge of surface
retention extrusion visible.
②Insert any side of surface to notch #1 on corresponding side of frame
extrusion (see Fig. 9).
③Insert opposite side of surface to notch #1 of frame extrusion.
④Repeat steps 2-3 with remaining edges of surface.
⑤Ensure surface retention extrusions are centered lengthwise in tension
slots on all 4 edges of surface.
⑥If additional tension is desired or required over time, adjust surface one
edge at a time to tension notch #2.
Please Note: It is not necessary to adjust more than one edge at a time to
increase surface tension.

Surface Preparation
①Move frame assembly out of the way, unroll viewing surface and place on
smooth/clean surface. (Orient viewing surface so that folded side of hem is
visible.)
②Insert plastic tubing inside pocket formed by hem on all 4 edges of viewing
surface (see Fig. 7).
③Carefully slide surface retention extrusion (rounded edge visible) along
hem and onto surface on all four edges of fabric (see Fig. 8).
Caution: Do not allow fabric to snag on the ends of the extrusions.
If the screen fabric is not parallel with the surface retention extrusion,
then it may slit and tear during installation.
Please Note: To make this step easier, pinch the end of the pocket closed
before sliding it into the surface retention extrusion.
Figure 8
④Surface retention extrusion should extend beyond edge of viewing surface
equally at both ends.
⑤Verify that all surface retention extrusions are installed with rounded edge
visible and are centered on surface material.

Please Note: To avoid damage to the frame corners, be sure to support a
minimum of two (2) corners when lifting or transporting screen.
Mounting Screen to Wall
①Determine height at which screen is to be mounted.
Please Note: Top edge of screen frame will be located 1" above mounting
bracket hole centerline when mounted to wall.
②Mark hole centerline so that both wall brackets can be mounted parallel
and at equal height.
③Install wall brackets so that the outermost edges are safely within overall
length of the aluminum frame extrusion to allow for minor horizontal screen

⑤Lower screen until it engages over wall brackets. Center screen horizontally
on brackets as necessary.
Please Note: Make sure screen is installed level.

Corner Reinforcement Kit
A Corner Reinforcement kit is required for flown screens with a viewing
area of 10' (120") or wider.
①Install frame per Clarion instructions.
②Align corner reinforcement to each corner of screen frame & mark hole
locations. Remove reinforcements to allow clear view of marked hole
locations.
③Drill pilot holes through frame at each marked hole location with supplied
#20 drill bit (16 holes).
④Place reinforcements back onto frame at each corner.
⑤Thread the supplied #10-16 x .750" Type AB self threading screws through
reinforcements and into pilot holes in frame.
⑥Thread each of the four screws into each reinforcement plate BEFORE
tightening them down completely to aid in alignment.
adjustments. Installer is responsible for providing attachment hardware.
④Position screen slightly above wall brackets (see Fig. 10).
