SPACER BLOCKS & LEVELING
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.

1. Run 3 conductor wire/Cat 5e to the left side of
screen cassette installation location (refer to pg. 9).
To be sure you have the correct wire you can order
485 wire directly from SI.

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 is 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. 7) 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 between 2 - 8 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.

Flatten the Material at the Weight bar
FLATTEN THE MATERIAL AT
THE WEIGHT BAR
Follow these steps:
1. Bump the bottom of the weight bar up several
times along it.
2. Use 2 fingers to pinch the material just above the
middle of the weight bar and lightly pull on the
material to smooth out any wrinkles at the weight bar.
3. Repeat the process to move the material from the
center toward the other edge.
4. If the screen has been
stored in a wrinkled
condition. The wrinkles
may not fall out
immediately. If wrinkles
remain after an hour, call

1. Turn on AC(110v) power to the screen.
2. Solo/Pro 2 with an RTS motor is shipped with the
remote already paired to the screen. The screen is
ready for operation.
Solo/Pro 2 is very easy to operate. The RF remote,
supplied with the screen, controls the opening and
closing from up to 30 feet away. Enjoy!
RF controlled projection screens operate at
433.42MHz. Minimize or eliminate any sources of RF
interference and shielding. Any metal, wire, or foliage
can reduce or block the signal - reducing the operating
range of the controls. Other nearby transmitters may
cause interference also.
