Installation
Frame Assembly
You will need a 9/16" wrench to assemble your Series 200/300 lace and grommet frame. If you have a split frame, you will also need a
3/16" allen wrench. Before beginning assembly make sure the work surface is clear of objects or debris that could scratch the frame or
puncture the viewing surface. Use the wrapping material to lay the frame sections on to keep from scratching the frame.
1. Unwrap the frame sections and orient them as shown in the
Figure below. Note that the ends are color coded. Make sure
the colors match at each corner. If your frame has the
optional Pro-Trim masked borders, lay the frame with the
borders facing down. Be sure to lay the frame on the
wrapping material to keep the Pro-Trim clean.
2. If your frame has two-piece top and bottom frame sections,
match the color codes on the ends of the tubes. See split
frame assembly on page 4. When top and bottom sections
are assembled the corners should lay lat to assure that
the unit does not twist or bow.
3. Slide the side frame sections onto the top frame section.
Insert one 3/8" bolt at each corner and tighten (do not
over-tighten).
4. The next step is much easier with two people. With one
person at each end, slide the bottom frame section into the
side frame sections. Make sure each side slides evenly to
avoid binding. Insert one 3/8" bolt at each corner and tighten
(do not over-tighten).
5. Frame assembly is complete. Next, unwrap the viewing
surface (sold separately) and lay it face down inside
the frame assembly.
6. The viewing side of the surface is wrapped to the inside
of the roll so you will have to unroll the surface and then
turn it over. Be sure to lay the surface on the wrapping
material to keep it clean.
7. Start at one side of the frame and locate the center of the
viewing surface and frame. The center of the screen surface
can be identiied by a bright colored grommet on each of the
four sides. The center of the frame is marked by a piece of
colored tape. Starting at the center, begin attaching the hooks
on the frame into the grommets holes in the screen surface.
When you get to one end, the grommet in the corner of the
viewing surface should be attached to the s-hook in the
corner of the frame.

Series 200 Installation
The Series 200 frame is supplied with eyebolts for ceiling installations and hanger brackets for wall mount installations.
Ceiling Installation: The frame is predrilled for the attachment
of the eyebolts. There are 3 eyebolts for smaller frames with a
one-piece top frame rail. Larger frames with two-piece top frame
rails will have 4 eyebolts. Insert the eyebolts through the frame
and attach the hex nut to the eyebolt.
Wall Mount Installation: There are 6 hanger brackets for
smaller frames with a one-piece top frame rail. 8 hanger brackets
are provided for larger frames with two-piece top frame rails.
Determine where the Series 200 frame will be mounted on the
wall. Consider the following before attaching the hanger
brackets to the wall.
• The hanger brackets must be anchored to a supported
section of the wall, such as a wall stud.
• The hanger brackets should be spaced on the wall
so they line up with the S-hooks on the frame. This
will prevent the lace cord from being pinched between
the frame and hanger.
• You will need at least 2" above the hanger bracket
to mount the Series 200 frame (see Figure 2).
• Frames with one-piece top frame rails should be
supported at the center of the frame and about
24 feet from each end of the frame.
• Frames with two-piece top frame rails should be
supported about 23 feet on each side of the center
joint and about 24 feet from each end of the frame.

1. Attach 3 or 4 hanger brackets (as required above) at the
same height along the wall. To determine the distance
between the upper and lower hanger brackets you must
measure the overall height of the frame. If your frame has the
Pro-Trim border subtract 33/4" from the overall height. If your
frame does not have the Pro-Trim border subtract 31/2" from
the overall height. Using this number, measure down from
each hanger bracket and mark the wall.
2. Line up the lower hanger bracket with the mark and secure
it to the wall. Refer to Figure 2.
3. Remove the frame clamp from the hanger brackets and
position the Series 200 frame on the hanger brackets as
shown in Figure 2.
4. Place the frame clamp onto the hanger bracket and
secure it with the supplied hex nut.
