4.3. Powering the Screen
Operating Voltage: 120 Volts AC
Amperage: .97 Amps
The screen has a ve foot power cable permanently attached to the left side of the screen as seen from the
viewing area. Install or locate a receptacle close enough to plug the screen in prior to installation.
4.4. Mounting Considerations
The design of the brackets allows for wall, ceiling, or hanging mounting. Plan the nal height of the screen’s
viewing surface prior to installation. Make sure there is enough room for the screen to hang freely below the
mounting location when extended.
Warning! The building structure and material in the mounting location must be capable of safely supporting
the weight of the projection screen. Included hardware is only meant for use with wood, surfaces with
wood bracing behind them, or concrete surfaces. Conrm with an engineer or contractor that the building
material will safely support the weight of the screen using the included mounting hardware.
4.5. Control Method
Dragony motorized screens can be controlled via manual wall switch, IR remote, 12 volt trigger, or RS232.
Complete instructions for each method are described in the Control Setup section (Page 9). Decide on the
method that will be used before installation begins to avoid any issues with control later. Pre-wire any cables from
projectors or control systems prior to closing the walls or ceiling.

5. Installation
5.1. Installing the Brackets
5.1.1. Mounting Brackets
1. Measure the width of the Projector Screen Housing (Dim. “B” in Section 12. Screen Dimensions and Weight)
and subtract 8” to estimate the distance the brackets should be mounted apart.
2. Mark the location of one bracket on the mounting surface, and measure over to the planned location of the
second bracket. Adjust the general location of each bracket to allow for both to mount securely to wood or
concrete. Be sure that wall-mounted brackets are level before installation.
3. Mark the screw holes for each bracket and install them:
Top of Brackets Must Be Level
Top of Screen Housing Will Be Here
Approximate Distance = Screen Housing Width Minus 8"
The mounting rail allows the mounting brackets to attach anywhere on the screen housing, but they should
be about 4” from each end to ensure that vibration or noise is prevented during operation.
Mounting to Wood Joists or Studs
Use the included mounting screws to secure the projector
mount brackets to the surface.
• No pre-drilling is necessary for most applications.
• Use 4 of the 8 included screws to mount each bracket
as pictured.
Warning! If holes are pre-drilled, use no larger
than a 5/32” bit. Larger holes will not properly
grip the threads, and the projection screen
could fall.
Mounting to Concrete Ceiling or Wall
Use the included anchors for the mounting holes and install
the screws into the anchors.
• Use a 7/32” masonry bit to drill a hole for each screw.
• Insert the anchors into the holes until they are ush.
• Do not install anchors into mortar joints.
• Use 4 of the 8 included screws to mount each bracket
as pictured.

6.2. IR Control (With Optional IR Receiver Extension)
The IR receiver built into the front of the screen works with remotes up to 26ft away at a maximum angle of 30°.
The included external IR receiver can be connected to the EXT IR port if additional range is needed.
To use the external receiver, plug it into the screen and have an assistant hold the receiver in dierent mounting
locations until the remote works reliably from where it will be used most. Mount the IR receiver using the adhesive
foam tape on the back.
Note: The included external IR receiver is proprietary to Dragony projection screens. Other IR receivers will not
work correctly.
6.3. 12 Volt DC Trigger Cable
Screens may be lowered and raised by 12 volt trigger signal sent from other equipment like a projector. A proprietary, 33ft cable is included for connecting a standard 1/8” (3.5mm) mono mini 12 volt trigger port to the TRIG port
of the projection screen.
12 volt trigger operates by sending a 3-12V DC signal to the screen when the projector turns on. The screen will
lower and remain lowered until the projector is turned o and the voltage drops to 0v (zero).
Other control methods may be used with 12V trigger. However, the screen will remain lowered for use if voltage is
present on the trigger while an attempt is made to close the screen.
Important! The projection screen still requires external AC power for operation. The 12 volt trigger connection will
NOT power the screen. Plug the AC power cord into a suitable outlet supplying 120V AC.
6.4. Manual Wall Switch
The included wall switch may be surface mounted near the projection screen for manual control. A 10ft RJ12 cable
is included to connect the switch to the screen. This cable may be replaced with a custom Cat5e/6 cable if longer
runs are required due to the location of the switch. See the next page for complete instructions.
6.5. RS232 Serial Control
Pins 1 and 2 on the EXT CTRL port may be connected to a control system serial output for one-way control.
Please see the DFM Motorized Screen Control Protocol for driver and command information, available on the Support tab at the DFM-NTT product page at www.SnapAV.com. The diagram illustrating the correct pins to use for
RS232 and instructions to extend the wiring from the screen to the control system are on the following page.
6.6. Contact Closure/Relay Control
The Dragony motorized screen may also be controlled via contact closure or relay control. Using the same
conductors that are used for the wall switch, momentarily short the Common wire to the Up, Down, or Stop
wire for the desired operation. The diagram illustrating the correct pins to use and instructions to extend the wiring
from the screen to the control system are on the following page.

6.8. Extending Control Wiring
6.8.1. Wall Switch
1. Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the projection screen EXT CTRL port to the switch location. Install the cable into the
wall at the switch location, and cut a 1” hole at the desired switch height. Pull about 6” of cable out of the hole
for attachment to the wall switch.
2. Remove the knockout from the switch back-box and mount it over the cable with the RJ12 port opening pointing
down. Use the supplied screws and anchors to secure it to the wall.
3. Cut the RJ12 control cable. Leave about 12” of cable attached to the connector. Splice four of the Cat5e/6
conductors to the appropriate wires as shown above at the projection screen. Then, plug the RJ12 into the EXT
CTRL port. Insulate the ends of the unused RJ12 conductors 1 and 2 to prevent short circuits.
4. Strip the insulation from each of the four conductors used in the Cat5e/6 cable about ¼”. Locate the press-t
connector on the switch assembly and terminate the conductors as shown above. Make sure to match the pinout correctly between the screen and the wall switch.
5. Mount the wall switch to the back-box so that the up and down buttons face the right directions.
6.8.2. Contact Closure or RS232 Control
1. Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the control system processor location to the projection screen.
2. Cut the RJ12 cable and leave about 12” of cable attached to the connector.
3. Terminate conductors in the Cat5e/6 to the desired pins of the RJ12 connector as shown in the diagram above.
Insulate the ends of the unused RJ12 conductors to prevent short circuits.
4. Terminate the same conductors to the appropriate wires on the RS232 port or contact/relay connection of the
control system processor.

7. Screen Adjustments
7.1
Before making any changes to the screen limit adjustment screws, read this section entirely. Turning the
wrong screw may cause the screen to bind under certain conditions, possibly resulting in permanent damage.
Damage of this type is NOT covered under warranty.
White Screw
(Closed Limit)
Left Side
Red Screw
(Open Limit)
7.1.1. OPEN Limit Adjustments
The RED screw (away from the viewing area) adjusts how far down the screen moves for viewing an image and
how much of the black material above the viewing area is seen when the screen is in use.
• Access the red screw by placing the adjustment tool into the housing through the screen opening, and
bending it back toward the screw until it can be inserted.
• Turning the RED screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will REDUCE the black space visible above the viewing
area.
• Turning the RED screw CLOCKWISE will INCREASE the black space above the viewing area.
• Turning the screw two complete revolutions will change the amount of black material seen approximately 1
inch.
Grommet
Viewing Area
7.1.2. CLOSED Limit Adjustments
The WHITE screw (toward the viewing area) adjusts how far down the bottom bar of the screen hangs when
the screen is rolled up into the closed position.
By default, the screen is set so the bottom bar will hang ush with the opening in the screen housing.
Adjust this setting only if the bottom of the screen must hang lower than the default setting when
closed. Changing this setting incorrectly may damage the screen and is NOT covered under warranty.
• Access the screw by placing the adjustment tool into the housing through the access hole after removing
the white grommet in the bottom of the screen housing.
• Turning the white screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will cause the bottom rail to sit LOWER when the screen
is closed.
• Turning the white screw CLOCKWISE will cause the bottom rail to sit HIGHER when the screen is closed.
Do not turn the white screw clockwise unless the bar is already sitting too low after adjustment.
• Turning the white screw two complete revolutions will change the amount of screen left hanging
approximately 1 inch.
After setting is complete, check the full range of motion again using the manual switch so that the screen can be
quickly stopped if there is any issue.

10. Troubleshooting
Dragony screens are designed to function trouble-free for years of enjoyment. Most problems occur due to simple
issues. If you have trouble, check the installation while reviewing all instructions. Some of the most common issues
and solutions are also listed below. If you continue to have trouble, please contact an authorized Dragony dealer,
or Dragony support at Info@dragonyscreens.com or (866)838-5052
Issue Solution
Screen does not react to
any form of control.
• If the screen is repeatedly reversed while in motion, it may stop moving and
reacting to any control method. This is a safety feature that keeps the motor
from overheating. If this occurs, stop testing for a moment and unplug the
power cord. Wait about 5 minutes, and plug the screen back in.
• Check the lm screen power cable and receptacle. The receptacle may not be
correctly wired, or may not be powered. Use a voltmeter to check for power
and that polarity is correct.
• Try disconnecting any control cables and using the manual control switch
on the bottom left side of the screen housing. If this works, check the normal
control method for operation for problems. Check the wiring and control codes
being used, or consult with the controller manufacturer to conrm that all
settings are correct. If this doesn’t work, check power as indicated above.
Viewing surface is too
high or too low.
• See Section 7. Screen Adjustments.
• Change the batteries in the remote. (2x AAA alkaline)
• Try using the remote at dierent ranges and angles. There may a lot of
interference in the room, or the line of sight from the remote to the IR receiver
IR control does not work
but other modes do.
is being obscured. The IR receiver extension cable may be necessary. See
Section 6. Control Setup.
• If using the extended IR receiver, check the connection and the wire leading
into the connection port for damage, and make sure the plug is pushed in
completely. Make sure the location of the remote receiver can “see” the
commands sent by the remote from the normal area of use.
