Congratulations on your purchase of one of the nest optical viewing screens available anywhere in the world!
Please take a moment to review this manual, it will help ensure you many years of reliable service from your new
Stewart Filmscreen product.
About the LuminEsse
LuminiEsse ts modern expectations for more viewing image and less visible framing, providing a sleek
appearance, even when not being viewed. The LuminEsse front-projection wall screen features an optional LED
backlighting kit that goes beyond wow factor to make viewing more comfortable. Scientically speaking, the
LED lighting acts as bias lighting, relaxing the iris of the eye and causing less strain during extended viewing.
When the screen is on, the multicolored perimeter lighting enriches onscreen content and when o, it can be
used to set the mood of the room.
Available in sizes up to 120-inches (diagonal) in HD formats and in sizes up to 150-inches (diagonal) in
Cinemascope® congurations, the LuminEsse rigid front projection screen system utilizes Stewart’s wall mount
system, making screen installation inexpensive, simple and fast.
Using this manual for installation
If you are using this manual to install the LuminEsse, be aware that it describes procedures for two types of
mounting options. Refer to the appropriate section for either mounting option.

GENERAL NOTES FOR PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
Preparation
Specications regarding the individual screen dimensions, weight, mounting type, and controls are provided by the
factory when the unit is ordered. Before beginning the installation:
Check the specications for the type of frame and mounting to be used.
Make sure there is a clean surface to work with.
Check the size and weight of the screen to be installed so that you can plan for the number of people
required for the mounting procedure. You need at least two people to mount the smaller screens; more
are needed for larger, heavier screens.
You will need:
Lint-free, cloth gloves for handling the screen
Ladders for the personnel supporting the screen during the mounting process, as needed
A level
Fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the screen is being mounted, as needed (refer to the
mounting type section you are using)
Drill for making holes to attach brackets to the mounting surface, as needed
Tools for tightening fasteners
Note: Bolts and other fasteners for the screen are standard gauge and sizes used in the U.S., regardless of where they
will be installed. For this reason, the sizes are expressed in inches rather than metric measurements.
Unpacking
Be sure to unpack carefully in a clean area. Use special care when handling the screen so that it does not become soiled
or damaged. Avoid ngerprints on projection surface.
If you plan to repack your screen and hardware for transportation to another location, you may wish to photograph or
make a note of how it was packed. Keep the packing material.

1)Locate and mark the wall for the desired location of the top of the image. Use a level to mark a horizontal line
5-3/8” below the mark located for the top of the image.
2)Mark a point on the horizontal line that corresponds to the desired location of the vertical center line of the screen
3)Locat
4)Line up the bottom edge of the EZ Mount hanging bar with the horizontal line on the wall.
5)Reposition the hanging bar to line up the mounting holes with the location of the studs
NOTE: Hanging bar can be centered up to 18” to the left or 18” to the right of the center of the screen; as
required to align with wall studs
• 24” level
• Stud

Screen Centering and Puck Mounting
12)Using a hex wrench, loosen the hex bolts securing the magnets on the lower frame member so that they are free to
move from side to side
13)Position the frame assembly onto the EZ Mount hanging bracket
14)Verify the centering (or desired horizontal positioning) of the screen on the wall
15)Place pieces of masking tape on the wall corresponding to the outer vertical edges of the frame
16)
magnets in the lower frame member to line up with the studs
NOTE: Find studs that allow the pucks and magnets to be positioned approximately 12” to 24” from the end of
the frame on each side.
16a) Place a piece of masking tape directly on the wall below each magnet/stud location and mark the
location of the centerline of the magnet on the tape. This will serve as a guide for mounting the steel
pucks on the wall.
16b) Also place pieces of masking tape on the bottom of the frame corresponding to the stud locations to
mark the location where the magnet will be secured to the frame
17)Remove frame assembly from wall
18)Make sure the magnets are still in line with the tape locations on the frame and tighten the hex bolt to secure
the magnets to the frame
19)Position and center each puck directly above the centerline mark on the tape, and then mark and drill a hole
for each puck and then attach each puck to the wall
, locate the studs where they intersect with the bottom edge of the frame and position the

20)Rehang the screen frame on the EZ Mount Hanging Bar
NOTE: Once the screen is positioned horizontally, the magnets will secure themselves to the pucks (Figures 8 & 9)
21)Check the horizontal positioning of the screen against the two pieces of tape and verify that the screen is
mounted in the proper position
NOTE: If adjustment is necessary to the horizontal position of the screen on the wall, measure the distance
the screen needs to be moved and remove the screen from the wall. Loosen the hex bolt and reposition the
magnets the proper distance and in the proper direction and retighten the hex bolts. Then, rehang screen and
repeat step 21.

SCREEN CARE AND CLEANING
General maintenance
The surface of your screen is delicate. Special attention to these instructions should be followed when cleaning.
A draftsman-style brush may be used to lightly whisk away any loose dirt or dust particles. (This type of brush is
usually available at oce supply stores.) Stewart Filmscreen has an optional screen cleaning kit that contains the
proper type of brush. Contact your dealer if you would like to obtain this cleaning kit.
For tougher spots, use a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub lightly using a sponge. Blot with a damp
sponge to absorb excess water. Residual water marks will evaporate within a few minutes.
Do not use any other cleaning materials on the screen. Contact the factory if you have questions about removing dif-
Replacement parts and service
No user-serviceable parts are contained within the unit. Contact your dealer or the factory if you require part replacement or service.
