IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.

INSTALLATION
Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping from
case.
Remove the black tape from the slat bar after the case has
been installed.
here are three ways to install the Designer Contour Electrol:
T
Wall Mount, Ceiling Mount, or Ceiling Hook. Procedures for
each method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall at the
desired height. Bracket should be fastened to wall
studs or some reinforcement within the wall. Concrete
or brick walls require special fasteners and anchors.
2. Make sure the bracket is level. See figure 1 for
reference dimensions.
3. Keep in mind you will need at least 5/8" between the
ceiling and the top of the wall mount bracket to be able
to position the case on the bracket.
4. 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. Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if you are
not using it for mounting. This provides structural
stability to the case.
2. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach the screen brackets.
3. The top of the screen case has a channel that the
ceiling mount brackets slide into. Remove the end cap
on the right end of the case and insert the brackets
into the case channel. Lock the brackets in place by
tightening two set screws. Refer to figure 2. Mount
cannot be more than 12" from end of case.
4. Hold the screen case up to the ceiling and mark the
hole locations. Drill holes into the ceiling and attach
screen with the appropriate fasteners for your ceiling.
Ceiling Hook
1. Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if you are
not using it for mounting. This provides structural
stability to the case.
2. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to
attach a hook anchor.
3. The top of the screen case has a channel that the
ceiling hook brackets slide into. Remove the end cap
on the right end of the case and insert the brackets
into the case channel. Lock the brackets in place by
tightening two set screws. Refer to figure 3.
4. The brackets can be attached anywhere within 12" of
the end of the case.
5. Attach an S-hook or similar fastener to the large center
hole on the bracket.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Internal wiring has been completed at the factory. Installer must route power to the wall switch and to the junction box
ocated on the left end of the screen case.
l
Standard installation is for a single 120VAC or 240VAC wall switch to control the screen. Optional Control units may have
been ordered. Wiring diagrams for the built-in VPI and low voltage control are included in these instructions. Refer to
dditional instructions for the external VPI, external low voltage control, SCB-100 and SCB-200. Refer to the appropriate
a
wiring diagram for your screen.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
Screen travel is stopped automatically in the down and up
ositions by the limit switches that are preset at the factory. If
p
it’s necessary to adjust for more or less drop follow the steps
below. The case cover must be removed to access the motor
limit switches.
Remove the case cover screw from both ends of the screen.
See figure 4. Be sure to hold the cover while removing the
screws.
Rotate the cover up and away from the case until it can be
removed.
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the red limit switch screw clockwise to decrease the
amount of screen drop. Run the screen down to test the
stop position. If the screen drops too far, raise the screen
about one foot and adjust the limit switch again. Repeat
until the desired position is set.
TO INCREASE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the red limit switch screw counterclockwise to
increase the amount of screen drop. Run the screen
down to test the stop position. If the screen does not
drop enough, raise the screen about one foot and adjust
the limit switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set.
CAUTION: Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At least 1-1/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller. This
!
screen comes standard with 0" or 2" black at top. See the specification data sheet for details.
