• Operation of the screen systems should only be performed by responsible parties.
• Always check the path of the Solo 3 Screen before operating to ensure that the path is clear of furniture
or obstacles that could prevent full operation. Monitor the Solo 3 Screen for smooth operation through
its entire range. Operating a Solo 3 Screen unattended may lead to damage from obstructions or other
causes.
• Fabric maintenance and cleaning– Solo 3 Screen fabric is subject to debris under normal use or in
storage, requiring occasional maintenance and cleaning. While fading and wear over time are normal,
debris could accelerate this wear. Screen fabrics can be cleaned with gentle soap and water.
OPERATING AND CARE OF YOUR SCREEN
Preparing for installation: It is crucial that all installations are planned out carefully before
specifying a screen order.
• If drilling through the cassette is required, the cassette must be square or the door will not line up,
causing poor operation.
• Electrical work should be performed following appropriate electrical codes and regulations by a licensed
electrical professional.
• Use fasteners appropriate for the structure the Solo 3 Screen will be mounted to.
• Do not use any sharp blades when opening the packaging.
Read the instructions in their entirety before proceeding. Actions contrary to the instructions
invalidate the warranty and may result in serious damage and/or injury.

INSTALLATION METHODS
MOUNTING
MOUNTING NOTES:
• To ensure best results, read all instructions before assembly.
• Unpacking the box– lay cassette, fabric tube, and material roll on a soft, clean surface during the
installation process. When removing from the box, ensure the assembly is kept horizontal to prevent
damage.
• The following section, Mounting, of the indoor Solo 3 675 External instructions applies to ALL
installations, regardless of method, determined above.
• When utilizing either method, especially METHOD 1, make certain there are enough installers/
hoisting equipment to safely lift the cassette (and/or material) onto the brackets. Brackets must be
level and in-line with one another before attempting to lift cassette onto brackets. Use safe lifting
and rigging techniques.
• For METHOD 2, ensure installation is complete by returning to page 16 after securing the casette to
the brackets.

Before installation, determine your installation method according to your product order and installation
preferences. The indoor Solo 3 675 External may be installed preassembled or separately (fabric tube and
material installed after the cassette).
METHOD 1 –Assembled
METHOD 2 – Disassembled (Cassette only)

MOUNTING – BRACKETS
1Use appropriate fasteners to mount the ceiling brackets to structural supports. Mount brackets
between (2–6’’) from the opening ends (additional brackets are intended to prevent cassette sag
and should generally be applied to the middle of the cassette). All brackets must be in line and
level to each other.
BEFORE INSTALL– Check upper corners of the opening clearance, as necessary, to prevent interference
with the cassette and end caps.

NOTE: Ensure the fasteners used are adequate for the weight of the Solo 3 Screen and the structure.

For METHOD 1, lift and secure assembly onto brackets. Once the bracket engages, the cassette will
“click” into place.
Installation requires two or more people and/or hoisting equipment.
Please use safe lifting and rigging techniques.

MOUNTING – CASSETTE

9
MOUNTING – THROUGH BOLTING CASSETTE
NOTE: Be careful not to over-torque or aggressively drill retention hardware when mounting
the cassette as deformation to the case could occur; this is especially important when ceiling
mounting. The structure behind the mounting points should be at and level.
WARNING! Select a screw or anchor type that has a shallower head prole to eliminate the risk of
contact with the screen material roll. Damage to the material caused by anchoring is not covered
under warranty. Before starting, ensure the screws or anchors being used are of a quantity, size,
and type compatible with the structural substrate you are mounting to, and rated for the weight
being carried. Weight can be found on the shipping documents or on the box label.

With the cassette mounted, open the door and slide the material roll with mounting plates on
each end into the cassette. Each end will “click” into place as the brackets engage.
NOTE: The roll must remain level while installing into the cassette.
Fasten the silver safety screws on the mounting plates to secure the material roll. Plug motor
power cable into the barrel connector located in the cassette.
This step is required for safety. Back safety screws out before installation. Must be re-engaged
after installing material roll.

INSTALLATION – CEILING MOUNT – MOAB
Push cassette all the way to the anges and ceiling; ne tune as needed with a mounting key.
1
Plug the motor power cable into the barrel connector (AC power), located within the cassette, or the
terminal blocks (DC power) to connect Moab (see pages 5 - 7 for power options).
The Moab board may be placed or removed from the internal PCB mounting plate by gently shifting
the entire board up to remove, down to reattach the four (4) standoffs.
If using low voltage, use the included DUOCoup to facilitate the wiring connections.
Upon reattachment, the board will tactically “click” and snap into place.
NOTE: If you plan to permanently remove/relocate externally Moab, carefully review the
Moab instructions to determine all the various options.
