Screen Operation
Electric Current: Depending upon region, your Elite ProAV™ screen will operate on 100v, 110v or 220v
voltage.
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 6 methods described below.
6 ways to control you Planate Tab-Tension
1. IR Remote Control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct
line of sight contact with a beam range of 30 feet. Aim the IR remote and
the circular window on the left side of the screen.
2. RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for
a direct line of sight with a range of 100 feet.
3. IR “Eye” Receiver (Item E, Fig 2): The IR “Eye” Receiver plugs
directly into the screen’s RJ45 input port to present a low profile line-of
sight control option for your IR remote control in a concealed recessed
in-ceiling installation.
4. On-Wall Keypad Switch (Item C, Fig 3): The 3-way wall
switch is a wall mount control box with an up/stop/down button
and plugs directly into the screen’s RJ-45 input

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 one end of the 3.5 mm wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote.
Step 2: Connect the other 3.5 mm 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-
30seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
