Polar Star® eFinity Series
Ceiling Ambient Light Rejecting EDGE FREE®Fixed Frame Screen
USER’S GUIDE
Product Description:
The Polar Star®eFinity Series is a fixed frame projection screen that uses Elite Prime Vision’s (EPV)
EDGE FREE®technology. The EDGE FREE®design resembles a flat panel TV display. The eFinity
includes a micro-thin bezel trim to further enhance the frame appearance and absorb projector overshoot.
An LED kit is also included for mood lighting.
The screen material included is our ISF certified Polar Star®, which is a reference quality front projection
material precisely formulated for environments with minimal control over room lighting. It was designed
to enhance picture brightness, offer accurate color fidelity, and improve contrast levels. The Polar Star®is
best for family rooms, educational facilities, conference rooms or any applications in which incident light
is a factor.
In order for the Polar Star®to maintain its projection qualities and optimum performance, please refer to
the list below for proper maintenance and cleaning.
•Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the screen’s surface.
•When cleaning, use a damp microfiber cloth with warm water to remove any marks.
•Never rub or apply pressure when cleaning the surface.
•Never attempt to use any solutions, chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the screen surface.
•In order to avoid damaging the screen, avoid touching it directly with your fingers,
pens/pencils or any other sharp or abrasive objects.

Step 3: Insert center joint (a/b) connectors into one-half of the horizontal frame (B/C) and secure with the M4x7
screws (M) as shown in the illustration below.
Step 4: Connect the elbow joints (c/d) to the top and bottom sections of the vertical frame. Once inserted, connect
the vertical sections to the horizontal frame sections. Make sure all holes are in alignment and the frame pieces are

Screen Material
Step 6: Put on the white gloves (p) and carefully unroll the screen material on a clean surface from the roller to the
other side as shown below. The back side of the screen material should be placed upwards.
Then place a bottom grommet (r) on the screen material’s eyelet and snap in the top grommet (s) as shown below.
Repeat the process for all eyelets.
Step 7: Carefully and gently place the assembled frame on top of the screen material in the marked areas as shown
below. Make sure to not allow the angle edge of the frame to come in direct contact with the screen material to
avoid puncturing it.

Step 8: Hook one end of the (small) spring and secure inside the groove of the frame, use the spring hook (h) to
attach the (large) spring to the grommet hole located on the screen material’s outer edge in the following order.
Begin by first attaching the center points on both vertical (left/right) sides, steps 1-2. Then the center points on both
horizontal (top/bottom) sides, steps 3-4. Once all center points have been secured, make sure the screen material is
still within the marked areas before proceeding to attach the next springs.
Continue attaching the rest of the springs to the material in the following order in steps 5-12.
Note (after all springs have been attached):
Correct material installation –Corners of the screen material are properly wrapped around the corner edges of the
frame and material is evenly tensioned and flat, creating a nicely taut surface.
Incorrect material installation –The corners of the screen material are not properly wrapped along the edge of the
frame leaving the material with unbalanced tension and an uneven finish. To correct, detach springs from material at
the corner(s) where material does not lie flat along the edge of the frame, reposition the material so that it lies flat
and wraps along the edge of the frame, and reattach springs to the material.
Note: Please make note of the yellow label and spring in the center of the frame. This is an indicator to start the
screen material installation process from the middle area of the frame.

Center Support Bar
Step 9: Insert the Center Support Bar (o) into the upper top groove on the back of the frame with the bottom end
near the approximate center point of the frame and rotate it in at an angle so that both ends of the bar are in
alignment with the groove.
Diagonal Sizes of 150” and below use 1 x Center Support Bar
Attention: Do not proceed with the Edge Trim installation until making sure there are no ripples in the material.
How to avoid getting ripples on the screen’s material surface
Solution: Pull and smooth out the material using your hand from the center to the corners, creating a nicely taut
surface as shown below.
Edge Trim Installation
Step 10: Place the edge trim frame pieces over each end of the frame.
p.
Diagonal Models above 150” require 2 x Center Support Bars
Place a center support bar 30-50 cm (11.8”-
19.6”) apart from the center (red line).
ATTENTION: THE TOP EDGE TRIM PIECE WITH THE LOGO SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE TOP.

JA02132020 www.epvscreens.com U-00153 7
Connect edge trim frames (e/f) together using the Center Joints- M4(a) and secure with four of the M4x4 Screws (m)
as shown in Step 1. Repeat for other side.
Once both top and bottom edge trim frames have been connected, attach the vertical (left/right) sides edge trim
frames (d) using the Elbow Joints M4(c) and secure with four M4x4 screws (m) on all corners, Step 2.
Step 11: Install the angle cover (n) on each corner of the frame as show in the illustration below.
Step 12: Install the springs (q) in each middle area to secure the bezel trim edge frame.
Notice to Installer:
Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the Polar Star®
Angular Reflective ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen.
•Angular-Reflective material is not compatible with ultra/short-throw projectors
•Minimum lens throw ratio 1.5x image width
•Ambient light must not come from the same direction as the projector
Since angular-reflective means that the projected image will reflect at the mirror-opposite angle, it is important to
position the projector so that the viewer will get the best possible image.
Step 1: Establish the general “eye level” of the viewers
Step 2: Set the appropriate projection level
Step 3: Adjust the screen height level and projection angle
Input Angle (A) = Output Angle (B) aligns with the viewer’s angle

Wall Installation
Step 13: Measure the overall length and height of the frame and drill holes for the top brackets. Line up the wall
brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a Phillips screwdriver. If not
installing into a structural wood stud, use a hollow wall anchor then screw in the M5x50 wood screws with a
screwdriver. Make sure the brackets are leveled.
Step 14: Position the fixed frame screen onto the top wall brackets as shown below
and push down at the center of the top of the frame to secure.
