OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of the finest optical viewing screen
available anywhere in the world!

Please take a moment to review this manual, it will help ensure you many
years of trouble-free service from your new Stewart Filmscreen product.

About your Visionary Electriscreen

The Visionary Electriscreen is designed for ease of installation. The case
can be installed separately during construction, and the screen assembly is
then installed once the construction is completed. The Visionary features a
seamless, self-finishing face-plate and drywall stops to accommodate
various ceiling configurations.

Preparation

Specifications 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 specifications for the type of mounting and switch

control to be used.

 Ensure that the mounting area and electrical connection are

prepared. Generally the switch control mechanism is placed near
the AV control system to facilitate maintenance of the controls.

 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.

Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen
Corporation cannot be liable for substandard or faulty installations.

Follow the instructions for mounting the case first, then install the screen
assembly into the case after you make the initial electrical connection to the
pigtail.

Make sure that you mount the case so that the electrical connection is on
the left side (audience left).

Removing the screen assembly from the case

The unit is shipped with the screen assembly fastened inside. Prior to
mounting the unit, you must remove the screen assembly from the case.
Using the supplied wrench, loosen the bolts shown in Figure 1. There is a
bolt inside each end of the screen slot.

Mounting the case

Follow this procedure to mount the case.
The Visionary Electriscreen can be installed into the ceiling or soffit. A false

ceiling is not intended to support the weight of a Visionary Electriscreen.
The unit is usually suspended, as shown in Figure 3, but it can be secured

to the ceiling using bolts or other appropriate fasteners.
If the unit is to be mounted to plaster, drywall, masonry, or other type of

surface, use an appropriate fastener. (These might include toggle or molly
bolts or similar fasteners.)

1. Install the case onto the support structure making sure that the
bottom is flush with the finished ceiling, if any.

2. Make sure the case is level.

3. Drywall or other ceiling material may be screwed directly to the
ceiling flanges on the case. Refer to Figure 1.
