output cable from the projector, but it can be
tested by connecting the Red (+) and Green (-)
cable to a 9-volt battery.

Optional installation method using a chain to hang the screen from the ceiling
Installation Instructions
Please consult a professional installer. Elite Screens is not liable for any faulty installations.
1. Select the installation location for your screen. Ensure that it is within reasonable proximity from
your power source.
2. For best support of your screen, it is ideal to secure your screen into the studs of your house’s
internal framework. If studs are not available, use hollow anchors for mounting your wall screws
into drywall. If you’re installing in a concrete structure, use concrete bolts to secure your screen.
Always consult a professional installer or hardware professional to ensure that the proper
screws and/or hardware are being used.
3. Ensure that both brackets are in perfect level alignment with one another. Use wall/ceiling wood
screws to secure to the wood studs. Use hollow anchors if mounting in drywall.
4. The screen casing is designed to accept the wall screws directly. If not using the Optional L-
Brackets http://shop.elitescreens.com/accessories.aspx, be sure to position the washer between the
head of the wall-screw and the anchor slots on the screen’s casing.
5. Using a tape measure, mark the keyholes that are located at the back of the screen’s casing end
cap.
6. After marking the area and predrilled hole, insert the screw and have at least 1/8” from the wall to
mount the screen. (See example in Figure 1.)
7. Figure 2 will show you an optional installation using chains (not included).

Troubleshooting & FAQ’S
For additional information, please contact Elite Screens at [e-mail]
1. If your screen does not move, please check the power supply. The screen will understandably
not move without power.
2. Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged to the power outlet.
3. Make sure that all cable connections are secure.
4. If the screen works well with the line switch but not with the remote control, please make sure
the remote controls have fresh batteries. Change the batteries every 6 months to ensure proper
operation of the remotes.
1. Q: Why does my screen no longer function?
A: Make sure your wall plug has power and that the screen is properly plugged. The fuse on the
screen will also need to be checked. Please contact techsup[email protected]om for the
location. The tubular motor in this screen is equipped with a thermal relay. This feature will
automatically shut off the screen in the event of the motor becoming too hot. This will prevent
the motor from overheating. If you should experience this, please let the screen’s temperature
decrease for 10-15 min. before usage.
2. Q: How is the screen material cleaned?
A: The screen material can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
3. Q: What type of batteries do the remote controls require?
A: The IR and RF remote controls use AAA alkaline batteries.
4. Q: Can you manually pull down the screen?
A: No, manually pulling down the screen will damage the electronic motor rolling system and
void your warranty.
5. Q: How could I setup my Screens IR receiver to work with my learning remote control system
Do you have any IR codes I can use to achieve this?
A: Our IR remote controls have been evaluated and entered in to the databases of some
Universal remote control manufacturers. Please contact the manufacturer of your remote to
inquire about your remotes ability to function with ours. If they have not evaluated our remote
control then the following list of Binary codes will be used for most remote setups.
