Installation Instructions
Recessed Installation
1. Select the installation location for your screen. Measure the distances between each eye bolt (Shown as
measurements L and A in Fig.1). Mark the installation area on the ceiling based on the measurements
taken. Using the marks as a guideline, drill a hole in the ceiling for each suspension bolt. The distance
between the installation hole (M) and the wall should be no longer than the measurement A. Insert one
eye bolt of the M10 Suspended hooks into the predrilled holes.
2. Connect the center component of the M10 Suspended hooks to the eye bolts installed above the ceiling.
Once properly secure, connect the third component of the M10 Suspended hooks. Attach the suspended
hooks(4xM10) individually to each of the 4 eye bolts located on the top of the screen (A/B/C/D) .
3. After the installation is complete, if the screen is not leveled, you can adjust the height of the suspended
hooks to level the screen. Below are the adjustment methods for the suspended hooks. The maximum
and minimum adjustable lengths are shown in Fig 3.

6 ways to control your CineTension Plus
1. IR remote control (Item A, Fig 1) and IR “Eye” Receiver (Item E, Fig 2):
The Infrared functions by direct line of sight contact with a beam range of 30
feet. The IR “Eye” receiver plugs directly into the screen’s RJ-45 input to
present a low profile line-of-sight control option for your IR remote control
even in a recessed ceiling installation. Once connected, simply aim the IR
remote at the IR “Eye” receiver to control the screen.
2. RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for a
direct line of sight with a range of 100 feet.

4. 5-12 volt trigger (Item D, Fig 4):The built-in 5-
12V trigger input allows your screen to synchronize
its drop & rise with the projector’s power cycle.
The screen deploys when the projector powers on
and will retract when the projector powers off. The
5-12 volt RJ45 cable connects to your projector’s
trigger output via a separate cable that may or may
not be provided by the manufacturer of the
projector. The trigger feature will not work without
an output cable from the projector, but it can be
tested by connecting the Red (+) and Green (-)
cable to a 9-volt battery.
5. Wireless 5-12 volt trigger (Item F, Fig 5): The RF remote control serves as a dual purpose, independently as a
handheld remote control, or in conjunction with the Wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable. The radio frequency
technology can be programmed to send a wireless signal to synchronize its drop & rise with the projector’s power
cycle.
Here’s how to set up your Wireless 5-12 volt trigger | Synchronization Instructions
Step1: Connect the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote (3.5mm)
Step 2: Connect the 12 v adaptor end of the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to your projector
Step 3: Make sure to unplug your screen from the power outlet
Step 4: Hold the UP button on your RF remote
Step 5: While holding the UP button, plug the screen back to the power outlet
Step 6: Wait 5 seconds and then release the UP button
Step 7: Your 5-12V wireless trigger should now be activated with your screen and ready to be used and able to
control your screen with your projector’s power cycle
Repeat the steps again if not successful.
(Please be aware, the projector on/off cycle may take longer to fully activate. It usually takes around 20-30
seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
