jobsite.

Hanging Screen

General:

When locating viewing surface and checking clear ance for screen op er a tion,
remember surface is not centered in screen case: see di men sion al drawings on
reverse. All installations should observe these important criteria:
➀ Screen should be positively and securely sup port ed so that vibration or even
abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken in stal la tion.
➁ Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable
for the mounting surface.
➂ Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation is complete.
Be sure the access door opens freely for adjustments and service.
➃ Screens through 14' wide have 2 mounting brackets; wider screens have 3.
Brackets should be located along case to line up with supporting beams or
studding. Left hand bracket is normally secured just to right of access door and
right hand bracket about one foot from right end of case.
➄ Installer should make sure mounting brackets are fl ush with the sides of the
case to provide stability when hanging screen.

Please Note: Mount the case using the two end brackets fi rst. If a center
bracket is provided, mount it last. The center bracket is designed to prevent
sagging of the case, and must be mounted so that it is level with the others
and does not force the screen case up.

➅ Make sure the top of the screen case's bottom board at no point touches the
roller/viewing surface.

➆ Do not use screen case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.
➇ If trim pieces must be attached to case, do not permit screws to pro trude

through ¾" wall of case. Do not attach trim with nails.
➈ If case is painted, viewing surface slot must be shielded to protect view ing
surface from paint splatters and overspray.
➉ Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and
screen has been operated successfully. Screen must always be installed level
so that fabric will not roll incorrectly or wrinkle.

Wall Installation—

Brackets should fasten to studding or other structural supports within wall.

Suspended Installation—

Chains should be attached to solid beams or rafters above screen. If possible,
screen mounting brackets should be positioned so chains hang vertically.
Turnbuckles should be connected between chains and mount ing brack ets. After
screen has been suspended, turnbuckles should be ad just ed so that screen hangs
level.

Recessed Installation—

Recess should be constructed to fi t screen case with brackets (see “Case
Dimensions” on back page). Design recess so that entire bottom of screen case
is un ob struct ed to permit access to bottom panel, screen roller and surface for
servicing if required.

Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 hz. AC, .78 amp draw (1.35 with heavy duty
motor).
Screens are shipped with internal wiring complete, with all switches (fully boxed)
and a wiring diagram. Wire con nect ing screen to switch (or switches) and switch to
power supply should be supplied by installer. Wires should be connected following
the wiring diagram provided, and all wiring should comply with local and national
electrical codes.
All operating switches should be “Off” before power is con nect ed.

Remove all packing before attempting to operate screen. When screen is fi rst
operated, be cautious! Cycle unit down and up several times to confi rm
sat is fac to ry operation.
110-120V Single Station Control — 3-position up-off-down switch per mits
operation to be stopped at any point. Factory adjusted limit switch es au to mat i cal ly
stop screen when fully down or fully up.
110-120V Multiple Station Control—Switches are similar in ap pear ance to
110-120V Single Station Control. Screen stops when switch is re leased and may
be re start ed in either direction. Factory adjusted limit switches stop screen
automatically when fully up or fully down.
24V Control — Three-button up-stop-down switch es stop at any point desired,
operate in any sequence. Factory adjusted limit switches au to mat i cal ly stop screen
when fully up or fully down.
Key Operated Switching — Two kinds of key-operated switches are op tion al ly
available with this unit.
➀ The key-operated power sup ply switch controls power to the screen and
switches. When it is “off”, the switches will not operate screen. Key may be
removed from the switch in either “on” or “off” position.
➁ A three-po si tion key switch per mits the screen to be operated directly by key. In
this case, the screen’s operator must always have a key.
RS232/Ethernet—Serial communication and network communication optionally
available with wall switches, RF or IR remote.

Screen has been factory set and should not nor mal ly require further ad just ment.
However, if you desire to change the “up” and “down” stop ping positions, proceed
as follows:

switch es. Always be pre pared to shut screen off man u al ly when new ad just ment is
being tested. Screen may be se vere ly dam aged if viewing surface is al lowed to run
too far up or too far down.

screen surface will rapidly unroll and fall. If setscrew must be loosened actions
should be taken to prevent the roller from turning.
Adjusting “fully up” position — “Up” limit switch is located on right side of
limit switch assembly, immediately behind access door to case. Right hand, hex
head machine screw contacts limit switch button to shut screen off. Turning this
machine screw clockwise will allow surface to run farther up into case. Turning it
coun ter clock wise will cause screen to stop sooner, farther out of the case.
Adjusting “fully down” position — “Down” limit switch is located on left side of
limit switch assembly, immediately behind access door to case. Left hand, hex
head machine screw contacts limit switch button to shut screen off. Turning this
machine screw clockwise will allow surface to run farther down before stop ping.
Turning it counterclockwise will cause screen to stop in a less ex tend ed position.
At no time should fabric be unrolled far enough to expose any part of screen roller.
Make all adjustments in small in cre ments, and be sure nut on machine screw is
tight against steel limit switch support before closing access door.
