Operatin
g
the Kestrel Series Screen
Setup: Remove the controls and wiring from the compartment on the left side of the Kestrel
Floor Electric Screen as shown in the pictures below.
Connect the screen to the power supply and switch the power button on. Now it is ready
for use.
Power:
ON OFF
About the Control System:
1.
5- 12V Trigger Input: The built-in 5- 12V trigger input for your new Elite Kestrel allows your
screen to synchronize its rise and drop with the projectors power cycle. The screen rises when the
projector powers up and retracts when the projector powers down.
2. IR (Infrared) and RF (Radio Frequency): The Kestrel Series screen includes both IR and RF
receivers that enable the consumer to use either the IR remote control with direct line of sight
through the screen’s IR receiver window. The RF remote is best used when the screen is
concealed or long distance control is required. The RF technology therefore does not require line
of sight directly to the screen’s IR receiver window.

Controlling the Kestrel Series with the 5-12V trigger, Extended IR “eye”
receiver or 3-way wall box switch:
1. 5-12V Trigger: Connect the 5-12 volt trigger cable to your projector’s 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. IR “Eye” Receiver: The IR “eye” receiver cable provides an extension of the IR sensor
should the IR receiver window on the Kestrel’s screen is concealed.
3. 3-way wall switch box:The 3-way wall switch box allows manual control to operate the screen’s
UP/STOP/DOWN commands.
The RJ-45 input jack is located on the left side compartment which accepts the 5-12V trigger,
extended IR “eye” receiver or the 3-way wall switch box.
