Screen operation
Electric voltage: 100 ~ 110v.
1. After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power outlet.
2. Once the screen has power, you’ll be able to control it using any of the 5 methods described below.
5 Ways to control the screen
1. IR Remote control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct line of
sight contact using an effective beam range of 25 feet within a 30-degree angle.
Aim the IR remote directly at either the IR receiver on the Wall Box Controller
or on the screen to operate the screen.
Note: Assure there is no obstruction between the IR remote and IR receiver.
2. RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for a
direct line of sight and has a longer distance control range.
The RF remote is already pre-synced/paired and ready to use. If synchronization/
pairing is needed, please follow the steps below.
How to synchronize/pair a new RF remote:
•Press & hold the “Programming Key”, then press the “Up Key” on the Wall box controller (wall-box
LED flashes). Reference the wall box controller section for programming key location.
•Then press the “Up Key” on the RF remote.
•The Wall box LED will flash 5 times, to indicate the RF remote has been properly synchronized/paired.
How to change the RF code (For use when multiple screens/RF remotes are owned, Fig.2)
Changing the RF code avoids controlling multiple screens at the same time and prevents electrical interference
leading to accidental control of the screen.
1. Remove the batteries
2. Change the RF code switch
3. Insert the batteries
4. Synchronize it with the wall box controller

3. Wall box controller (Item C, Fig 3): The wall box controller switch is a wall mounted control box with an
up/stop/down button. It plugs directly into the screen’s RJ50 port.
4.Wired 5-12 volt trigger: Requires a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable (Not included)
Step 1: Connect one end the RJ50 cable to the screen and the other end
to the Wall box controller.
Step 2: Then connect one end the 3.5mm mono cable to the wall box
controller and the other to the projector.
Once the two cables have been connected, the wired trigger feature is
ready to synchronize the screen’s up/down operation with the
projector’s power cycle.
•Projector on, screen drops
•Projector off, screen raises
5. Wireless 5-12 volt trigger (Fig 5): Requires a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable (Not included).
The Radio Frequency (RF) remote control serves as a dual purpose, independently as a handheld remote control,
or as a Wireless 5-12 volt trigger. The radio frequency technology sends a wireless signal that synchronizes the
screen’s drop & rise with the projector’s power cycle.

Here’s how to set up your Wireless 5-12 volt trigger
The 5-12V wireless trigger should already be synced and ready to work.
Step1: Connect one end of the 3.5 mm mono trigger cable to the RF remote.
Step 2: Connect the other 3.5 mm mono end of the cable to your projector
Step 3: Turn on the projector and the screen should automatically deploy.
Step 4: Turn off your projector and the screen should automatically retract.
(Please be aware, the projector on/off cycle may take longer to fully activate. It usually takes around 20-
30seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
Note: If the wireless trigger feature does not work, please resync the RF remote to the Wall box controller per the
instructions in the Radio Frequency remote section.
ADVANCED Programming Key Instructions: (FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY)
Wall box controller must be connected to the screen.
1. Preset the Screen’s Drop Position:
Use the RF/IR remote or Wall Box Controller to Drop the screen to the desired position you want to set it at.
Press & hold the “Programming Key”, then press the “Down key”on the Wall Box Controller. The LED will flash 5
times to confirm new programmed drop position.
2. Clear/Reset the Screen’s Drop Position to factory default:
Press & hold the “Programming Key + “Stop key” on the wall box controller.
For more information, support or your local Elite Screens contact,
please visit www.elitescreens.com
PROGAMMING NOTE:
The programmed vertical position relies on a time-count which adjusts itself according to the
programmed timed difference. Multiple up/down programming will result in the vertical position being
off a few inches. It is recommended that programming is done the first-time the desired vertical
position is determined or RESET it to factory default and programming the desired vertical position
afterwards.
ATTENTION: Reducing the factory’s full screen drop may produce waves/wrinkles on the projection
surface on tab-tension screens. The full drop is recommended to allow the screen to rely on the tab-
tension system to maintain the projection surface flat and taut on all sides.
The same applies on non-tensioned screens, although some level of waves may be present due to the
nature of the screen not being tensioned. If wrinkles/waves develop after making the adjustment to
the desired drop position, reset it to the factory’s default position per the instructions below.
FLATNESS AFFECTED BY NEW PROGRAMMED VERTICAL POSITION IS NOT COVERED UNDER A
REPLACEMENT WARRANTY.
