Attaching the screen material to the frame
1. Lay out the screen and tension rods on a clean and dry surface. Insert the screen tension rods
through the sleeves according to their corresponding lengths on each edge of the screen as seen below.
(see fig.4)
2. Place the screen material on the back of the built frame and slip the tension rods into the grooves
running along each side on the back of the frame on all four corner and clip on the fix plates to the back of
the frame to secure the rods into place creating tension for a tight and flat surface
(see fig. 5 & fig. 6)

Black backing for AcousticPro1080 models
This procedure only applies to AcousticPro1080 models, disregard if your ezFrame is not an
AcousticPro1080 variant. The black backing counters the effects of light penetration that
would otherwise light up all items behind the screen and spoil the picture.

material
*An alternate way to attach the black backing is to utilize the Velcro tabs attached to the tops of the fix plate’s tail
(Fig. 4). The material will grab and hold tight to the Velcro as it lays over the tails of the fix plates themselves and
stretched from tab to tab around all four sides.
After the material has been installed, the backing will lay over the back of the white (AcousticPro1080) material and
then be held into place by the fix plates as they are added (Fig.1-3). Interval markings reveal the best likely points of
attachment (Fig. 1). The prongs on the fix plates (Fig. 2) straddle a lip on the back of the frame creating a friction
hold that will firmly keep the material and backing in place (Fig. 3-4).
The black backing goes behind the projection surface and are held into position by Velcro-faced fix plates.

Attaching the Fix Plates___
1. Make sure that the material and frame are both lying face down on a clean, dry and non-abrasive
surface.
2. Center the material inside the frame.
Please note the material will be noticeably smaller because stretching the material is required to create
a sufficient amount of tension for perfect material flatness.
3. Start attaching the fix plates in the center of the long horizontal edge and (1) then alternate with the
center short sides (2) as shown in diagram (fig.7).
Note: Follow these instructions to make sure the material is properly fixed in the center position of the
frame. After attaching the fix plates in sequence #2 (the center of the short sides), please remove the fix
plates in sequence #1 (the center of the long horizontal edge) and reattach them again, and also remove the
fix plates on sequence# (2) and reattach them again.
4. Then continue to follow our recommended order numbers 3-8 to properly distribute tension to the
screen material.
Center Support Bard
1. Insert the support joiner into each side of the center support bar to complete assembly.

2. Insert the Center Support Bar into the upper top groove on the back of the frame (not the one where
the fix plate inserts) with the bottom end near the approximate center point of the frame and place it in at
an angle so that both ends of the bar are in alignment with the groove. (see Fig. 8 below for details).

3. Slide the top end of the bar into the top center point location to complete center support bar
installation. This will provide added stability to your frame and added tension to the material.
Installation
1. Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole
area of where the screen is to be installed.
2. Drill a hole with the proper bit size according to the wood screws included.
3. Line up the wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using
a Philips screwdriver.
Note: Use 2 wall brackets on diagonal sizes below 135”, and use 3 wall brackets on diagonal
sizes 135”and above.
4. Position the fixed frame screen onto the top wall brackets as shown in (fig. 9) and push down at
the center of the bottom frame to secure the installation.
5. The wall brackets allow flexibility by allowing the fixed frame screen to slide to the sides. This
is an important feature as it allows your screen is properly centered.
