1) Pull the inner box out of the outer box using the white plastic pull straps that are mounted to the
inner box. Make sure you use both handles per side so they will adequately lift the
approximately 50 to 70 pound load. Open the inner box (the straps will have to be peeled off)
and you’ll see the bubble wrap top lining and a white box that contains the screen accessories.
Remove the bubble wrap top layer, the accessories box, and the screen with its velvet bag still
on. Then carry these two items to the installation location.

2) Slide off the screen case protective velvet bag and set aside.
Leave the internal, foam wrap on the screen. We taped it so that you caninstall the
screen with this wrap on and avoid scratching up the case.
PLEASE, save your box and packaging supplies. It’s quite costly to ship out
replacement packaging supplies, because while we can fold the boxes up fairly
compactly, they are dimensionally expansive to ship and complicated with regard to
placing the packaging components correctly.
3) The contents of the white accessories box will of course vary depending on what control peripherals
youbought. As standard there is provided a rocker switch.
All screens come with a bag of 5, 18-8 stainless steel #12-2” screws to mount the DIN bar to
the wall or ceiling. These screws require a 3/16” pilot screw drill and a #3 drive bit.

Electric Screen Installation Instructions
Wall Mount
1) Look on the back side (since it's a wall mount) and you'll see the
metal DIN rail that will mount to the wall. There are two screws fixing
this into the case for shipment. Loosen these two screws to get the rail
out and note how the French cleat design works. You'll be doing the
opposite on the wall.
2) Locate the bag in the white remote box that has the five stainless
steel truss head screws. Use a spirit level and mount the DIN rail to
your wall using these screws. If you have a very curvy wall, you can
space out a screw or two with washers or shims. You don't want the DIN rail to be curvy, or else the
case won't engage all the way. Make sure at least three screws are securely mounted into a stud.
3) After the DIN rail is up and level, youcan pick up the screen. Put your finger on the closest screw to
your end so youcan approximate the ~1.5" from the end of the DIN rail that the screw will engage.
4) Approach the DIN rail withthe screen case tilted up at a 30-40 degree angle. Your goal is to hook
the extruded bevel into the top of the DIN rail fully. Once you have got that, you can then rotate the
screendown to its resting spot and the DIN rail should then nest inside that slot, just like it was whenit
was shipped to you.
5) Youcan slide the case on the wall to make sure it's where you want.
9) Whenit's where you want, there are six screws along the bottom of the case. Tighten these so that
the screen will be securely affixed to the DIN rail.
6) Remove the foam wrap off the case.
7) Note there are several pieces of tape and things that keep the
materials where they should be. First, undo the blue Velcro straps
yousee on each end. These keep the weight bar happy during
shipment, but must be taken off prior to operating the screen.
8) We tie small black strings in each corner that attach the black
backing layer to the weight bar. This ensures that it will retract
properly from the case.
Then reach up and pull downthe black backing material in the
middle and make sure it's down and will drop freely. You really

5
want to make sure it's free to drop before you let the screen surface go down. Getting that layer
backwards-wound in the case is a disaster.
9) Connect the Mains supply ground and neutral to the green& yellow wire and to the blue wire of the
motor, respectively. Then connect the live of the Mains to the central contact of the rocker switch, the
brow motor wire to the UP positionof the rocker switchand the black motor wire to the down position.
10) Don't worry about the tape on the weight bar. You can get that off after you drop the screen. After
youare sure the black backing is free to drop and all other blue bits are off the screen, plug it in and hit
the down button.
11) Check that the lower limit is ok, then remove any remaining blue bits.
12) Check the vertical turnbuckles at the weight bar. Make sure they’re not bound up, either with the
cables twisted at the top of the eyelet, or the threads on the bar. If they are, the bar will be artificially
lifted, resulting in waves. Straighten any twisted cable and wiggle the bar to get it off the threads.
13) Check how the vertical cable and turnbuckles retract up into the screen case. You want them to
easily retract up into the case, without getting caught or hung up on either the front side of the case
near the foam strip, or the back side. If you hear any “clunk” sound, or see the motor bog downbefore
the screen is all the way up, check that these turnbuckles aren’t getting hung up. The fix is to just grab
the metal portion of the weight bar and rotate a few degrees to better align the turnbuckles into the slot.
14) If there is provided a remote control system, disconnect completely the rocker switch and connect
the motor wires to the control system. See the corresponding chapter below.
Ceiling Mount
1) Look on the top side (since it's a ceiling mount) and you'll see the metal DIN rail that will mount to the
wall. The front side of the rail is painted to matchyour case color. There are two screws fixing this into
the case for shipment. Loosenthese two screws to get the rail out and note
how the French cleat design works. You'll be doing the opposite on the
ceiling.
2) Locate the bag in the white remote box that has the five stainless steel
truss-head screws. These screws are intended for most standard ceilings
and wood joists. If you have a nonstandard ceiling type, just make sure that
you use appropriate load-bearing screws mounted into load-bearing
members. The DIN bar can accommodate up to #12 screws. The screen
weighs approximately 50-70 pounds, but you must make sure the mounting
technique you’re using is rated for at least 4 times that weight.
Mark where your DIN rail bar is to be mounted to the ceiling joists. Install
using the included SS screws (or your substitute). At least three screws,
securely mounted into your joists, are required. If you have a very curvy ceiling, you can space out a
screw or two with washers. You don't want the DIN rail to be curvy, or else the case won't engage all
the way.
Giving the DIN rail a little squeeze with pliers will narrow the distance the case needs to engage
onto, making it an easier mount.

3) After the DIN rail is up and level, youcan pick up the screen. Put your finger on the closest screw to
your end so youcan approximate the ~1.5" from the end of the DIN rail that the screw will engage.
4) Approach the DIN rail withthe screen case tilted down at a 30-40 degree angle. Your goal is to hook
the extruded bevel into the back of the DIN rail fully. Once you have got that, you can then rotate the
screen up to its resting spot and the DIN rail will nest inside that slot, just like it was when it was
shipped to you. You must tighten at least one screw on each end so the case holds onto the rail.
NOTE: There have been installations where the ceiling was curvy enough and the DIN bar was
mounted flush enough so that it also had too much curve in it to mate to the case easily. If you
encounter this issue and have the space, youcanalternatively engage the case onto the bar on one or
two screws on the end, and simply slide the case along, extending but not tightening the case screws
as you slide it along.
If you find the case won’t engage over the DIN rail on one side, there must be some mounting
forces that are spreading it wider (curve, etc.) Take the end that isn’t engaging and give it a squeeze
with pliers, narrowing it enough to engage fully into the case.
5) If you loosen the screws just enough so they don’t bite into the rail, but are protruding enough to hold
the case on the rail, youcanslide the case along the ceiling to make sure it's where you want. Feel
free to bump the case into “exactitude”.
6) Whenit's where you want, there are six screws along the top of the case. Tighten these so that the
screen will be securely affixed to the DIN rail. There are arrow marks on the foam wrap showing you
where they are.

7) Remove the foam wrap off the case.
8) Note there are several pieces of tape and things that keep the
materials where they should be. First, undo the blue Velcro
straps you see on each end. These keep the weight bar happy
during shipment, but must be taken off prior to operating the
screen.
9) We tie small black strings in each corner that attach the black backing layer to the weight bar. This
ensures that it will retract properly from the case.
Then reach up and pull downthe black backing material in the middle and make sure it's down and will
drop freely. You really want to make sure it's free to drop before you hit the remote. Getting that layer
backwards-wound in the case is a disaster.
10) Leave the tape on the weight bar. You can get that off when first dropping the screen. After you
are sure the black backing is free to drop and all other blue bits are off the screen, plug it in and hit the
down button.
11) Connect the Mains supply ground and neutral to the green & yellow wire and to the blue wire of the
motor, respectively. Then connect the live of the Mains to the central contact of the rocker switch, the
brow motor wire to the UP positionof the rocker switchand the black motor wire to the down position.
When the power is applied to the up or down power wire (see the chart below), the motor will continue
travelling until it reaches its mechanically-set limits. Typical screen motoring times are about 15-20
seconds depending on size and aspect ratio.
