Aeon CLR® 2 Series
EDGE FREE® Ceiling/Ambient Light Rejecting Fixed Frame Screen
USER’S GUIDE
Product Description:
The Aeon CLR® 2 Series is a fixed frame projection screen that uses Elite’s EDGE FREE® technology. The
EDGE FREE® design resembles a giant size flat panel TV display. The Aeon includes a bezel trim to further
enhance the frame appearance and absorb projector overshoot. An optional LED kit is available for
backlighting. The screen material included is our ISF Certified CLR® 2 (Ceiling Light Rejecting) which is a
front projection material designed for ultra and short throw projectors, precisely formulated for environments
with minimal control of overhead room lighting. Its multi-layer structure enhances picture brightness,
maintain color purity and improves contrast levels in ambient light room environments. The CLR® 2 is best
for family rooms, educational facilities, conference rooms, house of worship or any applications in which
incident light is a factor.
Screen Maintenance: Dust, dirt and scratches on the projection screen surface will affect the quality and
performance of the projection image. For optimal results we advise to pay attention to the following
instructions.
•Use a dry microfiber cloth or soft brush 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.
•Don’t point to the screen material with a fingertip or other sharp objects to prevent damage to the
material.
•The screen surface has a horizontal lens structure. DO NOT wipe the screen up and down or in a
circular motion. Wipe very gently from left to right only.
▪Don’t scratch the material, as it will leave permanent markings on the screen’s surface.
▪Don’t use acetone, benzene, alcohol and any other organic solvents to clean the screen material. Using
such chemicals will permanently damage the screen.

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 flush (no gaps). They should form perfect right angles.
Tip: The elbow joint (d) with the larger diameter holes should be on top.
Step 5: Secure the elbow joints by fastening them with M4x7 screws (M), 4 at each corner.
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.
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 spring and secure inside the groove of the frame, use the spring hook (h) to
attach the spring to the 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.

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.

AND BOTTOM. THE TOP EDGE TRIM PIECE WITH THE LOGO SHOULDBE INSTALLED ON THE
TOP. THE MATERIAL ISDIRECTIONAL SO IT WILL NOT PROPERLY REFLECT IF THE BOTTOM
SIDE IS PROJECTED ON.

Notice to Installer:
Material Tip: Proper Projector Placement for CLR®2
The CLR®2 is exclusively for table-mounted ultra and short throw projectors as illustrated in the graphics
below. Overhead placement or a standard throw projector will make the image very dark, on account of
the screen’s absorbent layer deflecting light that is not aligned with its reflective angle.
Correct projector installation: Ultra-short and Short throw projector aligns with reflective layer.
Improper projector installation

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.
