6. 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 one end of the 3.5 mm wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote.
Step 2: Connect the other 3.5 mm 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 20-30seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
5. 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 up and will
retract when the projector powers down. 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.
