INSTALLATION
Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping from case.
Remove the black tape and rubber bands from the slat bar after the
case has been installed.
The Large Cosmopolitan® Electrol® comes with brackets to allow for
wall mount or ceiling mount installations. Procedures for each
method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. The wall mount bracket should be fastened to wall studs or
some reinforcement within the wall. Concrete or brick walls
require special fasteners and anchors.
2. The wall bracket has holes spaced at 16" and 24" to align with
most wall studs.
3. The bracket must be level and plumb.
4. Keep in mind you will need at least 2-3/4" between the ceiling
and the top of the wall mount bracket to be able to position
the case on the bracket.
5. Mount the screen case on the wall bracket as shown in
figure 1. Be sure the case is fully seated on the bracket.
Tighten the stop screws against the wall bracket.
Ceiling Mount
1. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to attach the
screen brackets.
2. Attach the ceiling brackets to the wall mount bracket using
the supplied 5/16" x 3/4" bolts, washers and nuts.
3. Position the ceiling bracket assembly on the ceiling and
attach with 5/16" bolts (not supplied). The bolts should be
long enough to pass through the drywall or ceiling tile and
penetrate at least 1-1/2" into the reinforcement in the ceiling.
4. Mount the screen on the wall bracket as shown in figure 2.
Be sure the case is fully seated on the bracket. Tighten the
stop screws against the wall bracket.
