Advantage® Manual With CSR 
(Controlled Screen Return)

Pre-Installation Operating Screen
1.  Carefully unpack case from shipping carton. DO NOT unpack 
fabric and roller assembly yet.
2.  Make sure to recheck measurement of case for proper 
installation clearance.
3. Remove any protective foam or tape from case.
Case Installation
1. Hang case and attach to support structure with bolts.  
See suggested methods of installation on page 3.
  NOTE: Carriage bolts can be installed anywhere along the 
length of the case. The head of the carriage bolt slides into 
the variable-position mounting channel. It is recommended 
that the center is supported on cases longer than 7 feet.
2. Tighten bolts until trim lange is lush with ceiling.
  NOTE: For proper operation, screen assembly must be 
level after installation.
1. Pull down on pull bail until desired picture area is obtained.  
Lock into position as on a window shade. Be sure surface is 
locked before releasing.
  NOTE: this screen will not lock into position in the upper 
portion of its travel.
2. To re-roll the screen, pull the picture surface down about 6 inches 
and start the fabric up quickly and release.
Large picture surfaces are heavy and will start up too slowly to 
prevent the locking pawl from catching unless help is provided. 
If the locking pawl catches pull the picture surface down and 
start the surface up rapidly.
The CSR feature of this screen will allow the fabric to retract 
rapidly until about the last 612 inches of travel then it will slow 
and retract gently into the case.

Screen And Roller Assembly Installation
If your screen was shipped with the motor and roller already 
installed, skip this section.
1. Remove access door. First remove the 2 screws from the 
ends (Figure 1). Be sure to support the door during this step 
to avoid injury. Lift the door slightly and pull away from the 
edge of the case.
2. Carefully unpack screen and roller assembly. Leave packing 
paper on roller.
3. Loosen (but do not remove) two 1/420 nuts securing the pin 
end bracket (stage left) to the case housing. Slide the bracket 
towards the end of the case.
4. Insert the spring end of the roller into the spring end bracket. 
The mounting brackets have a formed tab that the slat bar 
will rest against. Be sure to install the roller assembly so the 
slat bar is positioned onto the tab. (Figure 2).
5. Slide the pin end bracket onto the CSR pin. Tighten the  
1/420 nuts securely.
6. Re-install the access door. Procedure is reverse of removal.
