Pre-Installation

1. Carefully unpack the screen.

2. Always handle the screen in a leveled position on a clean surface.

3. In order to protect the screen from exposure to stains, keep the screen out of contact with foreign particles

such as dust, sawdust, and/or liquids.

1. 5-12V Trigger: The built-in 5-12V trigger
input for your new Evanesce allows your screen
to synchronize its drop and rise with the projector's
power cycle. The screen drops when the projector
powers up and retracts when the projector powers
down. The 5-12 volt adaptor connects to your
projectors trigger output via a separate cable that may
or may not be provided by the projector manufacture.
The trigger feature will not work without an output
cable from the projector, but it can be tested using a
9-volt battery by simply connecting the Red (+) and
Green (-) cable to the 9-volt battery.

2. 3-Way Wall Switch: The 3-way wall
switch is a wall mount control box with an
up/stop/down button and plugs directly
into the screen’s RJ45 port.

3. Infrared (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Controls: Although the IR remote requires a direct line of sight

with the IR sensor to function, the screen’s case can be hidden from sight and operated using the RF remote. When

depressing the directional buttons you should hear a faint click signifying that the mechanism is working properly.

*The IR remote can also work with a Universal Learning Remote Control usually by programming the Screens IR codes into
your Universal Learning Remote. Consult your Universal Learning Remote’s manual for programming instructions.
