1. 5-12V Trigger: The built-in 5-12V trigger
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 retracts when the projector powers
down. The 5-12 volt 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 (+) and
Green (-) cable to the 9-volt battery.
2. 3-way switch 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 3-wall switch and its ability to protrude from
the bottom of the screen allows line-of-sight control even in a recessed ceiling installation.
3. Infrared (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Controls: Although the IR remote requires a direct line of sight
with the IR sensor to function, the screen’s case can be hidden from sight and operated using the RF remote. When
depressing the directional buttons you should hear a faint click signifying that the mechanism is working properly.
** Please remember to always point to the wall switch receiver when using the IR remote. The IR remote can also work with a
Universal Learning Remote Control usually by programming the Screens IR codes into your Universal Learning Remote.
