4. Pre-Installation
Before installing the projection screen, review this section thoroughly to be sure that no additional work is needed
to prepare the job for mounting and controlling the screen.
4.3. Powering the Screen
Operating Voltage: 110 Volts AC
Amperage: .96 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.
4.5. 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 8). Decide on the method
that will be used before installation begins. Pre-wire any cables from projectors or control systems prior to closing
the walls or ceiling.
4.2. Unpacking the Projection Screen
As you unpack the projection screen:
• Remove all accessories from the box before
discarding any packaging. Use the Package Contents
section to verify that everything has been removed.
• After the screen is out of the packaging, remove
the tape holding the bottom rail of the screen in the
housing.
• Do not remove the black bands from the ends of the
projector until it has been mounted. These bands
keep the bottom bar from falling into the housing and
getting stuck.
• While unpacking and preparing the projection screen for installation, take note of the location of the adjustment
screws and grommet. It may be difcult to locate them after the screen is hanging from the mounting brackets.
• Do not turn the adjustment screws until the screen is mounted and ready to be adjusted.
4.1. Required for Installation
Have an assistant help with installation to prevent damage or injury. The following tools will be needed to complete
the installation:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• 2 Step Ladders
• Electric or Cordless Drill
• Marker
• Level
• 7/32” Masonry Drill Bit to install 8mm concrete anchors
• 5/32” Drill Bit to install 6mm Wall Switch Screw anchors (optional)

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.

5. Installation
5.1.1. Mounting Brackets
Top of Screen Housing Will Be Here
Top of Brackets Must Be Level
Approximate Distance = Screen Housing Width Minus 8"
The mounting brackets can be attached anywhere on the screen housing, but they should be about 4” from
each end to ensure that vibration or noise is prevented during operation.
1. Measure the width of the Projector Screen Housing (Dim. “B” in Section 12. 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, then measure 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:
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.
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.
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.
