input for your new CineTension2 allows your screen
to synchronize its drop and rise with the projector's power
cycle. The screen drops when the projector powers up and

adaptor connects to your projectors trigger output via a
separate cable that may or may not be provided by the
projector manufacture. The trigger feature will not work
without an output cable from the projector, but it can be
tested using a 9-volt battery by simply connecting the Red

2. Wall Box and IR (Infrared) Eye Receiver: The 3-way Wall Box switch enables the consumer to
manually operate the screen's drop/rise capabilities. The IR “eye” protrudes from the bottom of the casing to present a low
profile line-of-sight control option for your IR remote. It is a low-visibility alternative to using the wall box kit and its
ability to protrude from the bottom of the screen allows line-of-sight control even in a recessed ceiling installation.

INSTALLATION
The CineTension 2 series screen is designed for installation on either a wall or ceiling. All hardware is included to
allow either installation method however we do strongly recommend a professional installation for safety purposes.
The extruded hanging brackets are designed to slide anywhere on the back of the screen to accommodate a
wall or ceiling installation and provide an easy alignment with wood studs and trusses.
