5. 5-12 volt trigger (Item D, Fig 4): The built-in 5-12V
trigger input allows your screen to synchronize its drop
& rise with the projector’s power cycle. The screen
deploys when the projector powers up and will retract
when the projector powers down. The 5-12 volt RJ45
cable connects to your projector’s trigger output via a
separate cable that may or may not be provided by the
manufacturer of the projector. The trigger feature will
not work without an output cable from the projector, but
it can be tested by connecting the Red (+) and Green (-)
cable to a 9-volt battery.
6. Wireless 5-12 volt trigger (Item F, Fig 5): The RF remote control serves as a dual purpose,
independently as a handheld remote control, or in conjunction with the Wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable.
The radio frequency technology can be programmed to send a wireless signal to synchronize its drop & rise
with the projector’s power cycle.
Here’s how to set up your Wireless 5-12 volt trigger | Synchronization Instructions
Step1: Connect the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote (3.5mm)
Step 2: Connect the other end of the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to your projector
Step 3: Make sure to unplug your screen from the power outlet
Step 4: Hold the UP button on your RF remote
Step 5: While holding the UP button, plug the screen back to the power outlet
Step 6: Wait 5 seconds and then release the UP button
Step 7: Your 5-12V wireless trigger should now be activated with your screen and ready to be used and
able to control your screen with your projector’s power cycle
Repeat the steps again if not successful.
(Please be aware, the projector on/off cycle may take longer to fully activate. It usually takes around 20-30
seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
