1. 5-12V Trigger: The built-in 5-12V trigger input
allows your screen to synchronize its drop & rise
with the projector’s power cycle. The screen

12 volt adaptor 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.
2. 3-Way Wall Switch: The 3-way wall
switch is a wall mount control box with
an up/stop/down button and plugs
directly into the screen’s RJ-45 input.
3. 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.

functions by direct line of sight contact
with a beam range of 30 feet.
5. RF Remote Control: The radio
waves eliminate the need for a direct
line of sight with a range of 150 feet.
