Clarion—Hardware and Parts List
Frame Preparation
➀Clean area and place frame assembly pieces face down. Snap plastic
corner pieces into ends of aluminum frame extrusions as indicated in
Figures 1 through 4.
Figure 1
➁Check to verify that all four (4) plastic corners are seated securely in
aluminum frame extrusion lengths (see Fig. 5). Lock in place using eight (8)
self-tapping screws .

Mounting Screen to Wall
➀Determine height at which screen is to be mounted.
Please Note: Top edge of screen frame will be located ½" above mounting
bracket hole centerline when mounted to wall.
➁Mark hole centerline so that both Z-brackets can be mounted parallel and
at equal height.
➂Install Z-brackets so that the outermost edges are safely within the overall
length of the aluminum frame extrusion to allow for minor horizontal screen
adjustments (hardware for mounting Z-brackets to wall is not supplied).
➃Position screen slightly above Z-brackets on wall (see Fig. 9).
Please Note: When lifting 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.
Surface to Frame Assembly
➀Return frame onto clean surface, face down, and drape completed surface
assembly over completed frame profile with rounded edge of surface
retention extrusion visible.
➁Insert any side of surface to notch #1 on corresponding side of frame
extrusion (see Fig. 8).
➂Insert opposite side of surface to notch #1 of frame extrusion.
➃Repeat steps 2-3 with remaining edges of surface.
➄Ensure surface retention extrusions are centered lengthwise in tension
slots on all 4 edges of surface.
➅If 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.
Figure 9
➄Lower screen until it engages over Z-brackets. Center screen horizontally
on brackets as necessary.
Please Note: Make sure screen is installed level.
Figure 6
Surface Preparation
➀Move 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.)
➁Insert plastic tubing inside pocket formed by hem on all 4 edges of viewing
surface (see Fig. 6).
➂Carefully slide surface retention extrusion (rounded edge visible) along
hem and onto surface on all four edges of fabric (see Fig. 7).
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 7
➃Surface retention extrusion should extend beyond edge of viewing surface
equally at both ends.
➄Verify that all surface retention extrusions are installed with rounded edge
visible and are centered on surface material.

Addendum for Large Clarion Screens by Draper
Caution
➀Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
➁Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions
invalidates warranty.
➂Make sure you have received all parts.
➃ Be careful when inserting and sliding brace. The viewing surface could
be damaged if the brace comes in contact with the viewing surface.

Attaching Braces to Frame
➀Insert vertical brace into groove on back side of frame, so that tongue fits
into slot. Make sure the rivet faces up (away from the screen and frame).
Insert one end of the brace into one groove at a slight angle, then rotate
other end of brace into groove until the vertical brace is parallel with the
frame sides (see Fig. 2). Braces will remain in place; no fasteners are
required.
➁For large Clarions, one or two vertical braces may be required. For a single
vertical brace, center brace on back of screen frame (see Fig. 3). For two
braces, place each brace approximately one-third of the way in from the
sides of the frame (see Fig. 4).

Please Note: Be careful when inserting and
sliding brace. The viewing surface could be
damaged if the brace comes in contact with the
viewing surface.
Width Braces
(Viewing Area) Required
115" thru 120" 1
121" thru 168" 2
Please Note: Braces are to be used on wall
mounted screens; suspended screens typically
do not require vertical braces. If one should
be required on a suspended screen, be sure to
attach the brace to the frame to ensure the brace
does not fall out when the screen is flown.

Attaching Corner Gussets to Frame
➀Place corner gusset over frame and attach using screws (provided) (see
Fig. 1).
➁Repeat for other three corners.
