Installation Instructions
Take out all the parts from the packaging and verify that all the parts have been included, then
follow the steps below to install the screen.
Note 1.1: The screen should be installed at the best possible viewing position for the
audience. Install according to material chosen: front projection (Figure 1) or rear projection
(Figure 2).
1. Lay out the frame pieces on a flat surface as shown (Figure 3).
2. Slide fixing lugs into the grooves on the reverse side of the frame and align with arrows
(Figure 4-5).

3. Align frame corner to 90° and fasten with one corner bracket screw. Repeat for each
corner (Figure 6-7).
4. Unroll screen fabric as shown. Insert the four tension bars into the pockets of the screen
material, using the long bars on the top and bottom and the short bars on the two sides.
Be careful not to puncture the screen material (Figure 8-10).

5. Align fixing lugs with the arrows (arrows are approximate). Starting in the middle of a
short side, pull the tension bar over each of the fixing lugs, allowing the lugs to fit
through the fabric holes. Repeat for the other short side, then repeat for each of the two
longer sides.
6. Adjust screen material to ensure that it is flat and smooth.
Note 6.1: For acoustically-transparent screen materials, please see Appendix A: Black-Backing
Instructions in this guide for steps to attach the black backing fabric before mounting the
screen on the wall.
Note 7.1: The mounting brackets should be installed no further apart than the distance the
sliding brackets on the frame can reach. Before securing each bracket to the wall, make sure
they are level horizontally. When installing, make sure that the screws penetrate into the
studs of the framed wall, otherwise the brackets will not be securely fastened. Two brackets
for the top and two for the bottom are provided, but some installations do not require the
bottom brackets installed. If your installation requires the bottom brackets to secure the
screen repeat steps 7-9 for the bottom brackets.

7. Determine where the brackets should be placed as explained in the note above. Use two
5x40mm screws to mount each top wall bracket to the wall (Figure 16-17).
8. Align the screen frame with wall brackets (Figure 18). Move the sliding brackets on the
frame to line up with the top wall brackets.
9. Secure the screen to the top wall brackets using the 5x10mm screws, two for each
bracket (Figure 19). It is best to have one person hold the screen while another secures
the screws.

Appendix A: Black-Backing Instructions
Follow these instructions to properly secure the included black backing to a Severtson Screens
Fixed Frame Projection Screen. This guide applies to all Deluxe Series Fixed Frame models.
This guide is intended to be followed after the rest of the screen has been fully assembled and
before it has been installed in its intended location.
Before proceeding, be sure that the screen is fully assembled and laying front-side-down on a
clean, flat surface.
1. Locate the vertical tension rods. The two vertical tension rods on the back of the frame
will be the primary support points where the black backing will be mounted. The black
backing will end up hanging freely from the support points when properly mounted.
2. Line up the black backing. Lay each corner of the black backing onto the back of the
frame. Ensure that the black backing is rotated the correct direction so that the entire
back of the screen material will be covered by the black backing.
3. Punch the mounting holes in the black backing. Fold the top of the black backing onto
itself about 1/2" to 3/4" so that the material will be doubled-up. Using the end of a
screwdriver or scissors, punch a small hole through the doubled-up black backing at each
upper corner.

4. Secure the black backing at each upper corner. Slide each corner of the folded-over black
backing over the respective vertical tension rod, pushing the rod about 1/2” through the
punched-out holes. Each vertical support rod will now have the black backing secured at
each corner.
5. Secure the remainder of the black backing along the top edge. The black backing should
now be secured at the two upper corners, but will be loose along the top edge. At the
center and several other mounting points along the upper edge, release the screen
tension rods from the pins and tuck the black backing through the notch in the screen
material, then secure the rod in place. This will effectively tuck the black backing between

the tension rod and plastic pin so that it will be secured in place. Your black backing is
now properly installed.

Warnings
1. The frame is made with lightweight aluminum. Please handle with care.
2. Make sure the fasteners used are firmly secured to the wall to avoid any damage.
3. When installing the screen material onto the frame, make sure it is facing forward
(viewing side toward the projector).
4. Be careful not to scratch or damage the screen surface while handling it.
5. Do not write or draw on screen surface. Do not poke, fold, or tear screen material.
6. Do not use detergents or harsh chemicals to clean screen material. A soft cloth and mild
soap can clean dust and dirt off the screen material. A cotton cloth can be used to gently
wipe dust off of the frame.
7. Cover the screen to block out dirt and dust if it is not used for an extended period of
time.
8. To prevent unnecessary damage, the assembly and maintenance of the screen should be
done by adults.
