About the Control System:
1.
5- 12V Trigger Input: The built-in 5- 12V trigger input for your new Elite Kestrel Home
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 optional 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 (not included):
The following accessories are not included with your Kestrel Home screen but can be
purchases separately. Keep this information in a safe place should you decide to obtain
these accessories in the future.
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
