About the Control System:
1.
Wireless 5- 12V Trigger: The ZSP-TR02 Wireless 5- 12V trigger for your new Elite Kestrel allows your
screen to synchronize its rise and drop with the projectors power cycle by connecting the output trigger,
which is typically located on the back of most projectors, and the RF remote control via the ZSP-TR02 cable.
The screen rises when the projector powers up and retracts when the projector powers down.
2. RF (Radio Frequency) and Optional IR (Infrared) Remotes: The Kestrel Series screen includes both IR
and RF receivers that enable the consumer to use either the RF or an optional IR remote control. The RF
remote is best used when the screen is concealed or long distance control is required. The RF technology
therefore more versatile as it does not require line of to operate the screen. The optional IR requires a
direct line of sight through the screen’s IR receiver window.

manufacturers. In time, we progressed from just retail sales into the realm of custom
installer/integrator manufacture as our numerous reviews and awards will attest. We stand behind

offer a 2-year manufacturer's warranty which is twice the industry standard. In our continued
