NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Guidelines.
The products are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential/commercial installation and end user application and
may radiate radio frequency energy.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. The power outlet should be close to the unit and easily accessible.
2. Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
3. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
4. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
5. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for additional help.
SCREEN OPERATION
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:
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.
ON OFF

3
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.
Storing the screen:Always store the screen flat horizontally. Never store the screen in
a vertical position.
Screen Maintenance
1. Always close the screen when not in use
2. Do not touch the screen surface
3. Keep away from direct sun and high/low temperatures
4. For indoor use only
5. Clean with soft water
6. Do not drop/close screen consecutively for more than 3 minutes. This is to avoid
overload protection shut-off. If automatic shut-off occurs, please wait for 20-30 minutes to
try again.
