PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before installation of this projection screen you should fully read these instructions to ensure you
are aware of the full installation procedure. In addition to the screen and accessories and in order to
carry out the installation you will need:
•Spirit Level
•Philips Screw Driver
•Suitable screw fixings of at least 40mm long if the wall which is being fixed into is not a
wooden structure.
In the Installation accessories you will find:
•White Cotton Gloves to be used at all times when handling the white screen fabric
•Fabric Installation tool
•Hex Keys
It is recommended that at least 2 or more people install the screen as larger screens can be heavy
and awkward to lift. Good lifting practices and lifting aids should be used as required to aid
installation.
Important Notes
The symbols below show important notes that must be read and understood at each stage of
installation

Unpacking
Each screen is carefully packaged in our factory to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition.
The parts may be screwed down the crate they are shipped in and these screws must be removed
prior to removal from the crate.
Do not unpack each piece from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. This
will ensure that you do not damage any of the velvet finished pieces accidentally during installation.
Note that the Dynamic 4 is designed and recommended to be assembled on the wall so that a
clear floor area big enough to build the screen is not required. However, it can also be built on the
floor if preferred you will just need to follow the same instructions but substitute the wall for the
floor then lift and attach the screen to the wall once built. DO NOT build the screen face down on
the floor under any circumstances as this will result damage to the screen and mechanism.
The top and bottom masks will ship fastened to the rear top and bottom screen sections to
ensure that they are protected during transit. In order to remove them from the crate and for
installation remove each of the M8 locking bolts (6 in each). You will need to keep these bolts and
washers for re-installation.
.
The screen is a 8 part frame. Two ‘C’ sections (the left and right mask), a top and bottom section.
(These together with the left and right fit to the wall to form the basis of the screen. The top and
bottom masks then attach to the rest of the frame to create the full screen. The Velvet covers then
go over the screen frame to complete the installation.

Installation
•Decide on the height you want the bottom of your finished screen to be from the finished
floor level (FFL). Now add 240mm from the FFL to bottom of screen height and mark a level
line on the wall at this height. This will be the height of the top of the back plate on the
bottom screen section.
•Now mark the central left to right point for the screen (normally the centre line of the room.
This will be the centre of the Bottom screen section.
•Now using these lines to position the bottom section of screen labelled ‘BOTTOM’ fix this to
the wall using 40mm screws to fix to the wall behind. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THESE. They
should just be tightened loosely at this stage otherwise you will find it difficult to connect
the other sections of the screen. Use a spirit level to ensure that this section is level and
central. This is very important as it will form the basis for the rest of the screen to be built
to.
•Prepare the left end section to be fitted. There are two joining sliders which join the bottom
section and left section. These can be secured in place using the grub screws to stick out of
one of the profiles half way.
•Now lift the left section and mate the joining slider into the respective profile until the two
ends of the profile meet fully. (you may need to help line up the white bearing slider of the
mask bar to help locate it in the groove on the bottom frame as you do this).
•Using a spirit level, ensure that the left side section is vertical.
•Screw the left section to the wall using the fixing holes in the back plate.

•Tighten the grub screws in both joining sliders ensuring the aluminium section meet.
Example of fjoining slider fixing points at each corner of screen.
•Now fix the ‘TOP’ screen section in exactly the same way again tightening the joining sliders
and using a spirit level to check the level. Also fix the 40mm screws at either end of the
main.
Ensure that the top mask has been removed from the top screen section during unpacking as
per previous instructions.
You can use the stretcher bars to ensure that you have the correct spacing between the top
and bottom screen sections. Fit the stretcher bar to the bottom section of screen and rest the top
section of screen against it during installation. The top screen section must he help up by the
installer until fixed in place and not held up by the stretcher bar. This is a guide only.

You should now have 3 sections fixed looking like this:
Note that this image is of a Dynamic 2. On a Dynamic 4 you will not have the velvet top and bottom cover fitted at
this point.
•Fix the Right section to the top and bottom sections again with the sliders ensuring that you
tighten the grub screws and the fixing screws.
•You may been to slacken the screws on the top section while aligning the Right
section to ensure that the joining sliders are able to fully engage. Ensure that the ends of
the two sections meet fully together.
•Mechanically you now have all the main section sections fitted to the wall.

Mask Connections
The masks are tensioned via large spring mechanisms in the top and bottom sections (black tension
springs with carabiner end fittings).
•Hook one end of the longer set of tension springs onto the loop in the mask plate at the top
of the mask bar. Pull the hook at the other end towards the opposing mask taking care not
to release the hook as it will be under spring tension. Once you have pulled it right the way
out to the mask hook the hook onto the mask plate of the opposing mask.
•Repeat this for the springs at the bottom of the mask bars.
•Ensure that the masks are both now under tension and that no wiring has become loose in
transit or during installation that will impede the travel of the mask bar along the linear
bearing track it travels on.

Electrical Connections
•At the joint points of the screen there are electrical connections to be made. The mask
power and the smaller sensor connection. The mask power simply pushes together. The
sensor cable is on a simple M12 Screw sensor cable. Simply connect this and screw together
the connector to lock.
Ensure that the electrical connections for the Side masks and the tension springs are all in
place before you fit the top and bottom masks

Fitting the Top and Bottom Masks
•Next you need to fit the bottom mask. The bottom section fits onto the aluminium brackets
and behind the black steel brackets on the bottom section. (this is as the screen parts were
shipped)
•Lift the bottom mask into position down behind the black steel plates. Ensure that the holes
in the mask frame and the fixing points behind line up.
•Fix into position using the 6 x M8 bolts with large washers.
•Fix the sides of the bottom mask into the side sections of the screen frame using 2 of the M8
bolts and washers provided.
Tighten all M8 bolts to attach the Top/Bottom Mask.
•Fit the bottom mask spring tensioner. This is connected to the loop at the end of the bottom
mask and then onto the loop on the frame of the top mask above (note not connected to
the top mask bar). The top mask is under gravitational tension only.
•Now in the same way you fitted the bottom mask, fit the top mask ensuring that you tighten
all the M8 fixing bolts. Due to gravity pulling down on the top profile larger screens will need
2-3 people top hold the top mask profile up while the locking bolts are attached.
