Screen operation
Electric Current: Depending upon region, your screen will operate at 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 your Saker Tab-Tension
1. IR remote control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct line of sight
contact using a beam range of 30 feet. Aim the IR remote at the circular window
located on the left side of the screen.
2. IR “Eye” Receiver (Item E, Fig 2): The IR “Eye” Receiver plugs directly into
the screen’s RJ-45 input to present a low-profile line-of-sight control option for
your IR remote control. It is an extended eye-receiver to accommodate a recessed
ceiling installation.
3. RF Remote Control (Item B, Fig 1): The radio waves
eliminate the need for a direct line of sight and has a range
of 100 feet.

4. 3-Way Wall Switch (Item C, Fig 3): The 3-way wall switch
is a wall mounted control box with an up/stop/down button. It
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 as a Wireless 5-12
volt trigger using the trigger cable. The radio
frequency technology can be programmed to send a
wireless signal that synchronizes screen 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)
