Vutec ARTSCREEN Recessed Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (rev A)

Recessed Mount Plasma

Installation

The Plasma must be in the vertical position for the Art
Screen to work properly. Tilting of the Plasma is not
recommended.

Referring to the table in this manual; determine the wall
opening height and width.

Review Figures 6 through 7 for a set of possible installation
scenarios.

Dry wall installation requires base support as shown in
Figure 1. Additional supports to strengthen the base support
should also be considered.

Determine ventilation concept for the plasma.

Determine I/O routing of the video/audio cables and AC power
supply.

Place the main shell in the wall opening. Be sure the main shell
is level; shims as required. Screw the shell to the wall.

Remove the Clamp Bar and the plasma stands.

Install the stands to the plasma. Place the fender washers in the
channel to reduce slot size for tightening of the screws.

Figure 1
Wall Construction

Figure 2
Main Shell Assembly

Do not tighten the screws. Place the plasma with the
stands inside the main shell. Adjust the bottom rests to
center the plasma in the vertical direction.

Bring the plasma and it stands outside of the shell;
tighten the screws to secure the plasma to the stands.

Place the plasma back inside the shell. Make all
necessary connections, i.e. video/audio cables, AC
supply, etc.

Install the Clamp Bar. Do not tighten the screws.

Referring to Figure 4, position the plasma so that the
bezel face of the plasma is approximately 1/2 to 5/8
inch behind the shell. This is the clearance required
for the Artwork to travel up and down.

The plasma must be centered in the shell on all sides. Verify
and adjust as necessary. Tighten the screws of the Clamp
Bar to secure its location.

It is wise to test the complete system at this time.

Finish the gaps between the main shell and the wall as

required.

Wood Frame Installation

A typical wood frame including the liner is approximately 5
inches wide to properly cover the assembly. The wood
overhangs the main shell approximately 3/4 inch when
attached.

Two corner woods are attached to the backside of the wood
frame to take-up the weight.

The wood frame attaches to the main shell by two clips on
the backside (see Picture Frame Installation and Removal
Section) and hold in place by the ears of the main shell.

Electrical Connections

A dual AC outlet box is provided for 120VAC connection.
Connect 120VAC to this box to power the TV and the IR
remote control.

The Art Screen comes with IR remote control for operations.
It is ready for use; no wiring connections are required.

Place the IR sensor so that it can be seen by the transmitter.

Plug the power cord to a 120VAC outlet.

The IR remote control has manual inputs for Home
Automation systems, i.e. AMX, Crestron, etc. See IR remote
control manual (included) for detail information.

The SPDT switch (Figure 3b) may be used for security
purpose; its contacts may be connected to an audible alarm
system or monitoring system. The breach of security will be
activated when the wood frame is removed.

The normal states of the contacts are shown when the wood
frame is not presented.

Contact Rating: 10Amp, 1/2HP, 125/250VAC
or 6Amp, 30VDC.

Open and Close Limits Setting

The Open limit switch has been properly set for correct stop position. It should not be adjusted unless a change in the motor or the
motor had been removed for service.

Note each full turn of the limit switch (360 degrees) causes the screen to travel approximately 1/2 inch.

1. To lower the closed limit of the Art Screen. Send the Art Screen down to it closed position. Turn the Close limit socket

counter-clockwise (Figure 5); the Art Screen will advance downward as each full turn is made. Stop at the desired position.

2. To raise the closed limit of the Art Screen. Send the Art Screen down to it closed position. Determine the number of turns to

stop the screen above the desired close limit. Turn the Close limit socket clockwise to raise the limit. The motor will not move for
this direction.

3. Send the screen up halfway then stop. Send the screen down to its closed limit. The screen must stop above the desired position. If

it is not, repeat step 2

4. When the Art Screen stopped above the desired closed limit; do Step 1 to set the desired closed limit.

5. Check and adjust the closed and open limits as necessary.
