Important Safety Instructions
Pre-Installation
When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating
at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair
work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric
shock when the appliance is used subsequently.
5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by
the manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Tools Required for Installation
1. Carefully unpack case from shipping carton.
2. Set aside the Installation Kit. Items inside will be used during
installation.
3. Make sure to recheck measurement of case for proper
installation clearance.
4. Remove any protective foam covering the outside of
the case.
5. For shipping purposes, foam is also inserted between the
roller brackets and endcaps (Figure 1). Remove these foam
blocks from the ends.
6. Remove the hanger brackets from the top of the case using a
1/2” wrench. Do not discard the hardware; it will be used
during case installation to re-attach the hanger brackets for
mounting.
Case Installation
1. Hang case and attach to support structure with bolts.
See Suggested Methods of Installation.
#2 Phillips Screwdriver 1/2“ Open Wrench
or Socket Driver
2. Tighten bolts until trim lange is lush with ceiling.
NOTE: For proper operation, screen assembly must be level
after installation.
3. Remove 2 screws to open junction box. Install electrical
connections that apply to your unit. Make sure to review the
wiring diagram for proper hook up. Replace junction box
cover and secure with 2 screws.
NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the requirements
of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC),
NFPA 70.
If your case was ordered in advance of the screen and roller
assembly, your installation is now complete. Continue to
step 4 if your Advantage Electrol was ordered as a complete
unit.
4. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly.
DO NOT use a knife or sharp object to cut tape; you will
damage the screen. Pull orange string..
5. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.
Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the
movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor,
the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes of.

Screen and Roller Assembly Installation
Follow these steps if your screen and roller assembly was ordered separately from the case.
1. Remove the access door. First, remove the 2 screws from the
ends. Be sure to support the door during this step to avoid
injury. Then lift the door slightly and pull away from the edge
of the case (Figure 1).
2. Carefully unpack screen and roller assembly. Leave packing
paper on roller.
3. To install screen and roller assembly, loosen (but do not
remove) four 1/420 nuts securing pin end bracket (opposite
end from the junction box) to the case housing. Slide the pin
end bracket towards the end of the case (Figure 2).
4. Insert the motor end square shaft into the motor end bracket
(junction box end) and secure with the clip (Figure 3).
5. Moving to the pin end of the case, slide the pin end bracket
until the hole its securely over the pin. Tighten the 1/420
nuts on the pin end bracket securely (Figure 2).
6. Complete electrical hook-up by snapping motor wire
connector into case connector (Figure 3).
7. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly.
DO NOT use a knife or sharp object to cut tape; you will
damage the screen. Pull orange string.
8. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.
Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the
movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor,
the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes of.
9. Re-install the access door. Procedure is the reverse of step 1
listed above.
