INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Thank you for your purchase of Solo/Pro 2. The
screen is mountable outdoors, but is not waterproof.
It has not been designed to be run or left in the rain or
condensing humidity. Also avoid water spray, splash
and extreme heat or cold. Protect your Solo/Pro 2. and
you can expect years of quality use.
For a quick install it is recommended you run
appropriate wire to the installation location before
installing the screen. See the Pre-Wire sections for your
particular control method for details.

SHIMS
Spacer Blocks are used
to clear an obstruction on
the wall. Connect spacer
block to each wall bracket
before installation.
Leveling Shims are used
if the ceiling or other
mounting surface is out
of level or plumb. Connect
to ceiling brackets before
installation.
PRE-WIRE - 24v RTS
1. Run 2 conductor wires to the left side of screen
cassette installation location (refer to pg. 11). Follow
the power wire distance chart (refer to pg. 7) to
ensure use of the correct wire gauge.
2. Terminate the wires with the provided terminal block
as shown below.

To be sure you have the correct wire, order directly
from SI (Part # - Non-Plenum - 800269/ 9020126
and Plenum rated - 9020127). If you are using third
party wire, follow the power wire distance chart
(refer to pg. 7) to ensure use of the correct wire
gauge for the 24 VDC wires.

Proper mounting preparation will ensure a great
installation. Mounting brackets must be level to each
other, as well as plumb. They must be screwed into
structural members of some kind, such as ceiling joists
or wall studs. You may use the wood screws provided,
or other anchors (not provided) capable of carrying the
load, that are suitable to the substrate.
DO NOT MOUNT TO HOLLOW SHEET ROCK.
1. The drop is adjustable in the field between 0'' and
the MAX DROP (12'', 24'', or 36'', 2'' for short throw)
ordered for your screen. Use the drawing (refer to
pg. 9) to pick a bracket height that will allow you to
extend your screen to achieve the desired vertical
position of your viewing area.

2. Determine the desired horizontal viewing position
centerline of the projected viewing area.
3. The Solo/Pro 2 screen must be installed with the
brackets no more than 4 inches from each end of
the cassette. Measure the overall length of the
cassette to determine the min and max horizontal
spacing of the mounts. Mark the location of the
brackets over a stud or ceiling joist and within an
appropriate distance from the ends. If the location
of the stud or ceiling joist does not allow the center
of the screen to match the projector lens' center,
another board or plate will have to be installed on
the wall or ceiling to take the mount fasteners.
