About the Cima Fixed Frame Screen
Designed and manufactured in the USA by Stewart’s award winning team, your
Cima Fixed Frame screen supports a majority of projection applications. The
utilitarian design and features of this product address the needs of most common
residential and commercial 2-piece projection applications without compromising the
superior performance, quality and durability you have come to expect from Stewart.
The Cima Fixed Frame acts as a projection overscan border and the VeLux™ finish
is designed to absorb any overscanning.
Its angled corners and beveled edge bring the image area closer to the frame.
The frame features snaps that move on the frame to allow for adjustments.
The standard mount is a wall mount.
Using This Manual For Installation
The Cima Fixed Frame Screen is designed for ease of installation. There are no
user-servicable parts contained within the unit.
Congratulations on your purchase of one of our highly versatile Cima projection
screens, representing “Top of the Class” in standard commercial and residential
projection screens. Please take a moment to review this manual as it will help
ensure you many years of trouble-free service from your new Cima by Stewart
Filmscreen product.

Be sure to unpack carefully in a clean area. Use special care when handling the screen
so that it does not become soiled or damaged. If you plan to repack your screen and
hardware for transportation to another location, you may wish to photograph or make a
note of how it was packed. Keep the packing material.
Unpacking
Note: Bolts and other fasteners for the screen are standard gauge and sizes used in
the U.S., regardless of where they will be installed. For this reason, the sizes are
expressed in inches rather than metric measurements.
♦Lint-free, clean cloth gloves for handling the screen
♦Ladders for the personnel supporting the screen during the mounting process
♦A level
♦Fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the screen is being mounted
♦A drill
♦Tools for tightening fasteners
You will need:
♦Make sure there is a clean surface on which to unroll the screen and assemble the
frame.
♦Check the size and weight of the screen to be installed so that you can plan for the
number of people required for installation. You need at least two people to
mount the smaller screens; more are needed for larger, heavier screens.
Before beginning the installation:
Specifications regarding the individual screen dimensions, weight, etc. are provided
by the factory when the unit is ordered.
Preparation
Before proceeding with the installation of this screen, take time to thoroughly
read and understand these installation instructions.
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
♦Do not stand on the screen tube or store it on its end. This will cause screen
damage. If you are not going to install the screen immediately, make sure it remains
horizontal during storage.

1. Connect the frame members by matching the labels on the ends of each member. See
Figure 1.
2. Secure frame sections with the supplied bolts and allen wrench.
Be sure to work in a clean area that will not damage the frame.
ASSEMBLING THE FRAME

7Cima Fixed Frame Screen: Owner’s Manual
© 2017 Stewart Filmscreen Corporation
1. Identify the location of wall studs where you can securely mount the hanging bar.
2. Use a level to accurately position the hanging bar on the wall.
3. Drill holes through the bar into the studs.
4. Use the provided screws or other appropriate fasteners to secure the hanging bar to
the wall studs.
Note: A minimum of three (3) screws are recommended to safely secure the
frame.
5. Check to make sure the bar is level.
6. Assemble the frame (see page 6).
7. Hang the assembled frame, without the screen attached, on the hanging bar to ensure
that it is correctly mounted.
8. Mark on the wall where you will mount the steel pucks that will align with the magnets
fastened on the frame.
9. Remove the frame. Drill into the studs and mount the steel pucks with the
provided screws or other appropriate fasteners. Use shims as needed.
10. Reposition the frame, slide and secure the magnets so that they align with the steel
pucks mounted on the wall.
Note: Find studs that allow the pucks and magnets to be positioned approxi-
mately 12” to 24” from the edge of the frame on each side.
11. Remove the frame and follow the steps for attaching the screen to the frame (see
pages 9-10).
12. Your Fixed Frame is now ready to hang in its final position. See figures 2-5 on page 8.
To accurately position the frame, you will mount the hanging bar and temporarily
hang the frame prior to attaching the screen material. On the bottom of the frame,
there are magnets you can slide to line up with steel pucks you will align with wall
studs. If the wall is not perfectly flat, the force of the magnet may cause the frame to
bend. For this reason, shims can be placed between the wall and the steel pucks so
that the frame lays completely flat. The screen should not be attached to the frame
at this point. Refer to figures 2-5 on page 8.
Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen can
not be liable for substandard or faulty installations.

Figure 6: Unrolling the Screen
1. Remove the screen from the cardboard shipping tube.
2. On a clean surface, unroll the screen viewing side up.
3. Remove the protective foam from the screen material.
The viewing side of the projection screen is rolled to the inside to protect the optical
coating. The screen is rolled lengthwise.
Unpacking and Unrolling the Screen
♦Be careful not to touch or scratch the image surface with fingernails.
♦Do not use any tools to fasten the screen to the frame.
♦Do not fold or crease the screen.
Caution
DO NOT perform this step UNTIL instructed to do so in the mounting section.
ATTACHING THE SCREEN TO THE FRAME

If there are any wrinkles or puckers in the screen, the snaps on the frame can
be adjusted side to side. Lay the frame viewing side down on a clean surface.
A movement of 1/16” to 1/8” (1.6mm to 3.2mm) is usually sufficient to eliminate
puckers.
Note

4. Place the frame over the screen (snap side down).
5. Starting with the snaps on the top corners and then horizontally along the top, while lifting
the frame with one hand, snap the screen into the frame. Gently allow the screen to
stretch onto the snaps. Do not jerk, wrinkle or crease the screen material, as it can be
damaged. Refer to Figure 7.
6. Lift the frame to a vertical position to finish attaching the sides and bottom rows of the
snaps. Refer to Figure 8.

♦Avoid getting any foreign objects on the screen, as cleaning may prove very difficult. It
may not be possible to remove scratches, paint, ink, etc.
♦A draftsman-style brush may be used to lightly whisk away any loose dirt or dust
particles. (This type of brush is usually available at office supply stores.) Stewart
Filmscreen has an optional screen cleaning kit that contains the proper type of
brush. Contact your dealer if you would like to obtain this cleaning kit.
♦For tougher spots, you can make a cleaning solution using a water-based detergent and
warm water. To make the solution, mix one part Simple Green, 409, or other water based
industrial cleaner with three parts warm water. Moisten a clean cotton cloth or Q-Tip with
this solution, moisten the stained area, and gently lift off the stain. Never use an
aggressive scrubbing action as you could damage the screen surface by removing the
optical coating. Remoisten the area with clean water and dab dry with a clean sponge or
cotton cloth. Any residual watermarks will evaporate on their own in a few minutes.
♦Contact the factory if you have questions about removing difficult spots.
The surface of your screen is delicate, so we encourage you to keep your screen
clean. Special attention to these instructions should be followed when cleaning.
General Maintenance
With reasonable care, you may expect many years of dependable use of your
Stewart projection screen.
CARING FOR AND CLEANING THE SCREEN
No user-serviceable parts are contained within the unit. Contact your dealer or the
factory if you require part replacement or service.
Replacement Parts & Service
♦Use a lint roller to remove particles from the VeLux, which is the velvet material
covering the frame.
♦A brush may be used to comb (lift) the nap of the VeLux material to help eliminate
depression marks.
VeLux™ Covering
♦Do not use any other cleaning materials on the screen.
♦Do not use chemicals or solvents to clean the screen. Use only commercially
available, water-based de-greaser.
♦Do not use chemicals, solvents, or liquid cleaners to clean the VeLux covering.
♦Do not fold or crease the screen.
