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 ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
WARNING: Before obtaining access to terminals, all
supply circuits must be disconnected.
ATTENTION! Avant d’accéder au bloc d’alimentation,
veuillez couper l’alimentation électrique.
6. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part
of the building installation.

Screen Adjustment
1. With screen in complete unrolled position, examine the
screen surface carefully. If fabric does not hang lat, loosen
the nuts on the eyebolts of the black clamps. Adjust the
wingnuts to pull or relax the fabric as needed. Several clamp
heights may be adjusted depending on the severity of the
hang. After adjustment, tighten the nuts against the
underside of the frame. Caution stage hands and others to
check area before lowering screen. Do not bump screen with
ladders, scenery, etc.
Check the cables to make sure they are winding on the motor
and roller pulleys properly.

Limit Switch Adjustment
The stop positions of the screen are preset at the factory. If adjustments are necessary, the limit switch screws located at the end
of each motor can adjust the stop positions. Use a 5/32" hex key or a lat screwdriver. Adjustments should be made in small increments
by turning the adjustment screws a half turn at a time. Refer to igure 3.
Setting The "Down" Limit Position.
Screen Drops Too Far:
Left motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the white limit
switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of fabric drop.
Right motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the yellow limit
switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of fabric drop.
After adjusting the limit screws on both motors, run the screen
down to test the stop position. Repeat until the desired position
is set.
Screen Does Not Drop Enough:
Left motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the white
limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount
of fabric drop.
Right motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the yellow
limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount
of fabric drop.
After adjusting the limit screws on both motors, run the screen
down to test the stop position. Repeat until the desired position
is set. Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At
least 11/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller.
Setting The "Up" Limit Position.
Screen Travels Up Too Far:
Left motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the yellow limit
switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of travel.
Right motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the white limit
switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of travel.
After adjusting the limit screws on both motors, run the screen
up to test the stop position. If the screen travels up too far, the
safety stop switch will be activated and all power to the motors
will be shut of. You will have to deactivate the switch by hand. To
do this, push down on the switch trigger (see Figure 1) to release
the switch and have someone run the screen down. This safety
switch is to prevent the screen from traveling too far and binding
the motors should the motor limit switches fail.
Screen Does Not Travel Up Far Enough:
Left motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the yellow limit
switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of travel.
Right motor (as viewed from audience side): Turn the white limit
switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of travel.
After adjusting the limit screws on both motors, run the
screen up to test the stop position. Repeat until the desired
position is set.
